Its done, synced and up to date (as it always is)
the problem is that the last guy i accepted on facebook (and is present when i launch the standalone app or on pc ) is not showing up under the contact list when going in through the link contact route!
ive linked all my other contacts without a fuss
while on people have you clicked on menu > view > and tick all the facebook contacts?

Thanks mate
I might just have to let this problem go...its such a small thing but it's really pi**ing me off.
I've rebooted the phone on several occasions, ive logged out and in of facebook several times, nothing seems to want to budge the problem....ive even mailed htc about it !
Oh well
Thanks anyway
have you tried updating your facebook contacts in the online directories, in the people application? ive just done it as i was having a problem with no facebook contacts showing up and its now working.

What's this icon in the notification bar mean?

Hi All,
I don't know what does this icon mean (circled in red in the attachment).
It is not for background sync, since it is still there after I disable the sync.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!

that's what comes up when email syncs for me
It means account data is syncing.

LOL, yeah. it's the sync icon. you may notice it on every single widget you have, where you can press and refresh the info. or, in most menus. it means refresh/sync
Or when it tells you what it does in the setup process
This icon is there forever / syncing all the time?
I think I disable most of the sync function in apps ...
Does it cause my battery running out so fast? ...

your talking about the constant sync bug from rooting. I heard about it but never encountered it, don't remember what fixes it besides a wipe. Go ask in the dev forum
I believe that canceling all sync operations and restarting them a few times seemed to fix it for those that encountered that bug (you can do this from Settings/Sync), plus possibly a reboot... Don't hold me to it tho!

[Q] [Sprint] Disable network computers from showing up in Gallery?

I'm having the issue in my Gallery of any network connected computer showing up in my Gallery. This becomes a real issue when you have 200+ computers on the same network like at my work on secure WiFi.
I can't seem to find information about disabling this feature? Anyone know?

These settings are located under accounts and sync.
Click on the account and it will give you a list of things that can be synced. Just uncheck the pictures sync from there.

Anyone have any luck figuring this out yet?

[Q] How do I turn on auto-sunc for account/s?

On other android systems I can check on little boxes besides. But for Note 2 I could only touch to sync manually.
Why is the auto-sync always disabled?

There ARE boxes you can tick to make it auto sync

I think what should be done is:
-Pull down your notification bar
-Slide the toggle panel all the way to the right
- touch the sync icon to enable or disable sync.

That sync button has disappeared with the new Multi-window update. So how do I enable autosync, now? All of my accounts simply say "sync disabled" and I can't figure out how to enable it again!

in my Note 2, i went to settings, display, and there is a Notofication panel.
tapped on it, and it displayed all the notification icons that i can enable when i do actually go to the notication screen or not
i dragged the sync icon the display portion of the notification row
closed app
then from the home screen, swiped my finger from top to the bottom of the screen, the sync button is there. In my case it was disabled, enabled and all is working fine
see if you have the same or not
TMobile did an update today. Changed the kernel and baseband versions. I also am missing the sync icon in the pull down menu and my accounts say sync disabled.
I also had that problem yesterday.
I fixed it with inzee suggestion.
I have the Verizon Note2 SCH-I605 and it does not have anyplace to Enable or disable SYNC. I also do not have any Notification settings under DISPLAY.. so I have no idea how to disable much less To Enable Syncs.

Im thinking this might have something to do with the 4.1.2 update. I suspect the ones that posted in this thread and were able to fix the problem did not have the newest update. Can anyone that has the newest 4.1.2 verify they still have the sync icon on the pull down page or either have a Notification Panel in the Display Settings where Icons can be added or removed? I dont.......... Anyone?
Workaround
I could not find a stock solution for the verizon note 2. I ended up adding a beautiful widget for that switch and it worked again.

I dont think you read the entire thread. This function seems to have disappeared with the latest 4.1.2 ATT update. At least it has for me and the poster that you replied to but Im having trouble getting anyone else with the ATT version to verify

I've just registered to thank you very much. This was the right answer to the problem:
AFTER updating the Galaxy Note 2 GT-7100 from Android 4.1 to 4.1.2 the Sync icon on the top bar disappeared (it was replaced by the "Multi-Window" icon). The Sync icon/tab was there before updating.
I spent many hours trying to find the way to get it back without luck until I did a research on the web (also spending many hours) and then I found your answer, which is correct: you can select which icon will appear on the top bar. I didn't know about that feature. You can even remove some and put others.
It shouldn't depend or be linked to any provider at all, it's part of the Android 4.1.2 O.S. (probably 4.1 too).
So thank you very much once again

Thank you for your response Drake. I was beginning to think it was just me. Apparently this is only the case with ATT I317 update as HDcam posted above he still has this option under Settings>Display>Notification after the 4.1.2 update on the 7100....... It must me a glitch in the ATT update, which doesnt surprise me. They are goofballs.

That's pretty bad indeed..
I didn't know a provider would modify such bascic O.S. options like these.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-7100 was purchased without contract to any provider, and I downloaded the update directly using the Software Update icon in the Apps. (which in fact is a shortcut to Settings ->About this device -> Updates .-Sorry if the English translation is not 100% accurate) It was about 250 MB of download.

Auto sync can also be activated/deactivated under
System settings > Data usage
Press the Menu button and tick/untick "Auto sync data"

Good catch SM.......... so THAT is where they hid it!!
Nice to know but since I thought they had done away with it, I found a neat workaround that I like even better than the original toggle. Its called Widgetsoid.... a real neat app and does many other things
