Google revoked the Facebook app's ability to sync with contacts in 2.3.4.

Very suspicious coming from an untrustworthy company like Google.

Hopefully as CM9 matures it's addressed (it was in CM7).

It's never worked for me. I've always had that same result, regardless of ROM, etc... best I can tell from reading online, other cables may fix the problem. The captivate seems to be very picky with these cables.

The cable I'm using is just a cheapo from Ebay, but it was specifically listed as being for the Galaxy S.

What apps do you have installed? It doesn't happen until after installing apps, so my guess is that it is an app causing it. Especially since most people aren't experiencing it. Happens on both ICS roms too.

[Captivate Android Development] Pechkin000:
So I noticed this bug since build 1 but figured there were more important ones to work out. Now it seems that maybe its time.

So the bug is in the default text messaging app. Let's say I start composing a reply and save it as draft. Then come back to it and delete the text. Well even though its not saved as draft, the deleted text stays there as draft, no way to get rid of it in the conversation unless you send another text. Not sure if anyone else experiences this but I had this since the first build and through several complete wipes.

Yea i noticed that. Not a big deal but certainly something to fix..

I wish the default text message had pop up to reply..

I can't get Google Contacts and Gmail sync working. I've reflashed the rom and gapps five or 6 times now, and it still doesn't work. Is there anything else I can try?

I'm not sure if this is normal, but when I go through the first time setup, when I click next from the "sync data" screen, the box unchecks itself right before it goes to the next screen.

Edit: I guess it doesn't uncheck, it just turns from green to gray.

I also asked earlier if anyone could suggest how to change text background area to black.

Third and final I done everything to diminish lag no go. Is there a different kernel that people seem to have decreased lag?
[Captivate Android Development] skynet11:
Whether he's a "dev" or a "chef", the point he was making is that Google is untrustworthy because it purposely blocks Facebook sync (this is a known fact, reported by several news outlets, not a half-baked conspiracy theory - uc what I did thar?). This happened around the same time Google launched its newly-renovated Google+ app, which makes the company's motives for blocking Facebook sync look suspect. Now, if you want to believe Google deserves your unwavering trust because MikeyMike01 is more of a "chef" than a "dev", that's your business, but you might find it enlightening to read up on the company for yourself.

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
To get google calendar sync working, you need to do a full wipe, reflash the ROM and gapps. Not really sure about your second question, but there aren't really any kernels to use right now.

I didnt get what you were asking at first..

Go to Settings/Applications

So if you have installed and set ADW to default, go to Setting/Applications/ADW, scroll down, and it'll allow you to de-select the default there

Facebook used an API, which Google had to explicitly allow, which allowed them to sync contacts without sharing them with other applications. Google now has decided to block that API, so Facebook now has to use the standard API. Whether they will do that or not is up to them.

Hi

Just reading up on this before I flash to my cappy runing apex 9.1 :) Was debating flashing back to stock, but I see from your post I may not have to. I still have to do full wipes, but not having to go back to stock is one less step. As far as I remember apex runs gb bootloaders and i'm on a darkcore kernel.

How did this work out for you? You just went straight from Apex to ICS (wiping, formatting as instructed)...correct?

Are there any known touchscreen issues? I'm not sure how to report this, it's mainly apparent in games. Games I've noticed it in are worms, angry birds, and world of goo. Often times the game will behave as if two fingers are on the screen when there is only one. So, for example, a single finger pan may be interpreted as a two finger zoom.

When you install a new launcher it should pop up with the menu to select default when you press home, regardless of any defaults you have already set. Always seems to for me, anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] Saint Wacko:
Hm. Well, maybe Trebuchet didn't install properly. Oh well, doesn't matter anyways. After reading some of the other comments about it in this thread, I restored the TiBu Launcher backup I made before I installed it, so it's gone now.

On a considerably more annoying note, I just got a message from AT&T that I've used up 90% of my data this month in the past couple days, because my phone keeps disconnecting from wifi. It tries to connect to the one with a stronger signal, but just sits on "obtaining IP address" forever, so it never gives up and connects to the other router.

There's a difference between "this adds nothing of value and will therefore be removed" and "THIS WILL STEALZ YOUR PASSWORDZ!!!!1111111".

As a side note it did mention something about a permission for accessing services that cost you money (and I'm sure there's a perfectly legitimate reason, before people start calling people stupid or some such nonsense).

Perhaps the word choice could have been better. C'est la vie.

ICS will install old/different apps over the current system ones.
