[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
Although, I agree. The Life.Contacts app is pretty poorly designed. However, it was made to go with a much larger package of stuff that was supposed to be pre-built into the phone. Instead, Verizon decided to give us the lesser version of Android, put in the anti-rooting fixes, but not give use the Xperia eXperience stuff (which can be good or bad). However they forgot to remove some of the blocks that SE put in to make their stuff work properly. I would blame Big Red (Verizon) before SE on that part.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Yep, did that, no Facebook options.

When I first open that menu (when first installing) it lets me choose to sync to facebook, that brings me the FB authorization, I say yes, it sasy its getting data and that its Synced. After that i see no facebook options and my contacts still have no facebook contact info. But about 3 times a day I get a notification from the app that I need to Authorize facebook, and I do it again and it says its already authorized, hit ok, it says its syncing, and nothing.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
Try setting up the account first, then deposit the widget and open the configurations. Honestly I haven't had a problems with the thing you have.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Yep tried that too, still doesn't work. Emailed the developers see what they say, maybe Verizon has blocked this on new phones (although from what the verizon guy told me mine had been sitting there since they got it he said nobody buys this phone).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
Unlikely its blocked. Go on FB and remove the Life.Contacts app. Something about the synch-up may have gotten broken (I had this happen with PULSE news reader before). Remove and reinstall Life.Contacts , then try install again and options with the widget...

If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you other than wait for Root or wait for a system update in a few months.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Yeah did that too, didn't work either. Very strange that it just doesn't want to work.

Never got an email back from the dev's guess I"ll just have to wait for the system update (if it ever even shows up).
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
Yeah, its weird that they left some sort of block in there for FB, but not the other Account Synch providers. I have a couple dozen in there. FourSquare, Twitter, FetLife, LinkedIn, Google (of course includes G+), Corporate (Exchange), and Life.Contacts (for FB). All of these work too. (The new Skype has an Account provider, but for some reason it doesn't always work for me)

Hmm, did you check and try the Image filter for Life.Contacts? Not sure what that does frankly, and their documentation/help is next to non-existent.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Yeah the image filter just brightens the photos (that I don't even have anyway lol). My G+ syncs fine but then again I have like 5 friends on there lol.

I was thinking maybe deleting the Facebook app and re-installing may have an effect but then again I think life.contacts connects direct to facebook, not through the app.

Also about 5 or 6 times a day now I get a notification from life contacts telling me facebook needs to be authorized. Then it brings me to the authorization screen which says its already authorized click OK to continue, then it says its syncing and thats it. However strangely enough just now, it actually asked me to login to facebook which is the first time that happened. I did that.... and it still didn't work. :-(
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
Ooooh! I just found something semi-new-ish. Watto, the dev that makes my FourSquare account synch adapter, makes a FB adapter!

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.watto.program.android.sync.facebook

I'm going to remove Life.Contacts and try this instead. I suggest you try it too (free no less)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
SWEET I will give it a shot. May have to wait till I leave work as my data service in here sucks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
I downloaded it, allowed it and started it syncing till i realized that it says it syncs ALL your facebook friends to your contacts. I disabled its syncing but didn't delete it just yet. I absolutely don't want all my FB friends in my phone's contact list, did you try it? There also seems to be no way to change this setting.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
Yeah I tried it... Same Results. No way to only synch matching contacts. It just synchs them _ALL_. Same with WATTO's other synch adapters.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Ohh well thanks for looking/trying. Maybe I'll email the devs see if they can make that an option.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] radio five:
It's nice this phone has so much support from sony and verizon. This will be my first and last sony ericsson purchase. Thank God for Yongzh, is all I can say. Without him these pretty little controls wouldn't be worth a sack of fecal matter.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
It looks like the dev, despite being somewhat active, let the reg on his site expire. It got eaten by his registrar (or another one) and is used to advertise.

Terrible pity.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
I got the address from the market and he just emailed me back this morning. He said the next release will allow you to just sync to your contacts, but its going to sync by matching the email address to the contact. I replied that maybe it will work better if it synced by first and last name instead. We'll see how he replies
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
Update from the developer after my suggestion of matching first and last name:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
the new version has been released, syncs by email. testing it now.

EDIT: Works perfect!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Tergazzi:
Sad, this phone has been out as long as it has, and still no fix from Verizon or Sony. I just got my Xperia Play today and was very displeased with some of these little issues. Im gonna give it a week or so, and if the little things are still bothering me, then its getting exchanged for something NON-SONY!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
As has been mentioned, download this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.watto.program.android.sync.facebook

And it works fine. Its free!

I downloaded magldr 1.13 and I wanted to install it and when I try to install it, it always say's 'readme.txt missing' than I push next and it say's error occurred!:confused:

I've found it in the thread posted by xiyellax but that doesn't answer and helps me much.:confused::confused::confused:

:(CAN someone plz help me:(

thnx
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] motionz:
You should use ROMUpdateUtility.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AthenaLod:
the error message is nothing important, it is just saying that the readme.txt file is not there to be displayed in the box. the error is not related.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
The OP, member hrpearl01, PMed me with the same question from post #1 of this thread and the below quote was my response to him. Then the next quote is from member hrpearl01 letting me know it worked.

Oh and I already have told hrpearl01 about holding down the power button while booting.

Just thought it would be good to share this with the community, to benefit everyone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
@ T-Macgnolia

That has absolutely nothing to do with this topic :confused:

The problem is that the user is trying to flash magldr using the DAF.exe rather then the ROMUpdateUtility.exe, DAF is included for creating rom installers, not for installing MAGLDR.

PS. The OP ..is.. hrpearl01 :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
How does it not have anything to do with the topic? now I am :confused:

The OP had sent me a PM that was a exact copy of post #1 of this thread.

I see know what you are saying about the OP trying to use the DAF instead of the RUU. But I did not read this thread until after my PM conversation with hrpearl01. I guess the OP figured out the had to use the RUU from the other post of this thread then.

I truly do not understand the PS on your post though, sorry.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
my bad, thought you said "@ OP" and then telling the OP about somebody called "hrpearl01" lolz :D

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hymizzle:
Wipe cache/wipe dalvik probably couple times before flashing.

Some peeps do a complete data wipe but I never do with no problems.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hymizzle:
Might also dial *228 afterwards to program phone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fitti28:

Try to re-flash the ROM. I just did the 1.1.1 update from 1.1.0 and i tested my usb mass storage works.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
Or go to settings, applications, development, and check usb debugging
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zexter:
This is a known problem when usb debugging is not checked. If you check usb debugging you can then successfully mount the sd card for usb transferring.

To do that go to settings > applications > development

Then check the box next to "USB debugging"
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vapur:
Qb is right very odd I always had to turn off debug to get into the sdcard

Airplane mode enabled/disabled

after installing this ROM correctly I might add, no service is available due to airplane mode disabling and re-enabling itself over and over again. I'v re flashed, reinstalled, re downloaded, and used oden to recover back to factory multiple times and this problem keeps coming back. I'm using the original stock factory ROM atm, and would really like to fix this problem since i'v been a dedicated Syndicate fan for over a year now (new member to xda due to this problem) :eek:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
I have this issue after ~5 flashes of v1.1.1. Ranging from data wiping all the way to odin to EC05 and back, but still have the issue. I've given up trying to fix it and just enabled debugging.

You can try enabling usb debugging, or try bluetooth file transfer or the app Samba filesharing.
[Droid X General] wwwilly1986:
Anyone else experiencing any issues after the official update? I now notice that the backlight on the 4 buttons no longer light up and that at times the phone runs way hotter than it used to when not even doing anything really processor intensive.
[Droid X General] eyepopper:
What GB update are you running? Assuming you are talking about the newest .596 official OTA update? Mine is running fine... no noticeable issues yet.
[Droid X General] wwwilly1986:
Running the final. 596. I noticed that once the phone boots up the backlighting works fine. It's after a certain amount of time the backlights stop working and won't come back on until a reboot
[Droid X General] nhugh406:
Try booting into recovery and perform a wipe of the cache partition, factory data rest, and re-apply the update. I've been running .596 for about 2 or so hours now. No issues whatsoever.
[Droid X General] GolfnWrx:
I didn't see any noticeable differences between .595 and .596 except that since I loaded .596 the phone seems slightly more responsive....probably all in my head though - I really don't see much difference, but everything ,including the backlight and the lighted buttons seem to be working normally for me.

I do notice that the markers at the bottom of the page to tell me what window I'm on are MUCH clearer on my phone - they now have a white background and the oval dots are much easier to view.

My only oddity is that my reboot took at least twice as long on the "red eye" but once it finished it was fine.

Edit : Maps is way off...it was weak before, but often I could get within 100 meters...now it's 2100 meters and the center is not close to me...2100 meters is a lot. Nevermind, as soon as I enabled WIFI it locked in perfectly, 10 meters.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewpottz:
So my dad just bought a Dell Streak off craigslist and he came home with it and there are a TON of problems with it. First off, its purple and I have never seen a Purple Dell Streak. Second, the 3G doesn't work, it can't get system updates for some reason, its laggy, and when I try to put it into fastboot it gives me this other weird screen that asks me if I want to test stuff, and doesn't even mention anything about fastboot mode so im stuck.

It's also stuck on 1.6 and I have no idea where to go from here. I was able to root it though.

Has anybody else gotten one of these weird purple dell streaks? any advice?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
It could be an aftermarket shell or something regarding the purple,

could you take a screenshot of the about screen and write down what it says exactly in fastboot mode?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewpottz:
no problem...

I can't get into fastboot, but when I boot it into bootloader mode it gives me the following menu:

MMI BB test

X MMI wireless test

X *#7589

X Dock test

Device info display

SD download

X USB massstorage

X Auto loop test

Into DIAG mode

Factory Reset

Clear flag

and at the bottom of the screen it gives me the following highlighted in purple:

I also forgot to mention that the android market is not available, and none of the stock google apps are loaded such as navigation, maps etc.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
oh! you have a pre-release rom, those are extremely rare and it's likely one of the units quisda/dell used when they were making the streak.

there's a possibility that it's not even hardware identical to a retail streak since it's likely half a year older then the first retail streaks.

If you could make a nandroid of that it'd be great, considering it's age it might not be a good idea to try loading a retail rom onto it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewpottz:
ok, how would I do the nandroid?

and also, will I be able to fix my phone? lol it super laggy and doesn't work very well...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewpottz:
ok I flashed streakmod recovery and now my streak won't start anymore. I am able to put it in fastboot mode, but when I try to start my streak the screen goes black after the dell logo, and it doesn't boot.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
That doesnt sound right, how did you install it? flashing a rec shouldnt do that
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewpottz:
I flashed it using multirecoveryflasher and then rebooted and then held both volume buttons and then selected 'software upgrade from update.zip'. The screen went blank after I selected that, so I waited, and still nothing happened so I had to take out the battery. I tried to start the phone after that and now it won't go past the dell logo and just shows a black screen. I tried connecting it to a computer and that didn't work either.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
try and find safe mode, on a normal streak it's vol up + power

mabye that would help?

If you have a prototype streak, it's worth absolutely nothing as a normal phone. Anything you install will just brick it and you wont be able to fix it.

Only thing it's worth is for the prototype rom on it

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
I'll give you the cost of postage for it, it cant ever be used as a normal phone, but they're rare. But then again the streak isnt super popular so they're not worth much.

Most you could do is swap out the shell for a retail motherboard, but i cant really imagine it'd be worth the effort where you could just paint a retail shell.

I live in Boise, Idaho and I am on the At&t network. In the past month, I have had a lot of trouble with my 3g connection. Suddenly, some apps are giving me errors and not updating and often I am not able to use my browser... I am not a conspiracy theorist but I have to ask... Is At&t purposely causing network problems to try to convince the government that they need to acquire T-Mobile? We all know that At&t has been found guilty of anti-trust issues in the past.
