Thanks.

I will try a newer radio and report back.

I have already tried both 3G and wifi, remove and re-add account, remove account-reboot-add account, wipe, reset, clear cache, force refreshing and waiting a lot more than a couple of hours...

i've tried a few of the 2.1 rom out there..i was frustrated as u initially coz i cant get my fb contact sync..

but apparently the contact will sync themselves after quite some times..like overnight..but some rom does sync it after a couple of hours..

my only advice is to be a lil more patient..leave yr hero a side while u sleep..and i suppose all the contacts will be sync the other day..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmoon:
Believe me.. it's not a matter of patience...

Before I updated to the ROM I'm using now I waited 4 days and tried manual syncs frequently.

Can this be related to the missing sync?

Hi,

any idea??!!!

Thx a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmace:
Il have to agree here with regards to a problem for some people. On villain 3.3 it took almost 36 hours before my contatcs synced, i had removed and readded the facebook account numerous times before all of a sudden they were just there.

Im now on 3.4 after wiping fully and am still waiting for my facebook contacts to sync after 50 or so hours. Again ive removed and readded the facebook account and ive tried to manually sync them but not one has synced. Ive not even set up my wifi connection on the phone as ive been away since sunday.

Not really sure what else i can do to geth them to sync. On a side note i also dont get any information displayed in the today in history widget, just keeps saying updating.

And i also get com.htc.bg FC at random times, not sure what that is though.

It works perfectly on the Villain 3.4 ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmoon:
Yeah.. one person says it doesn't work in Villain 3.4 and the next says it works perfectly....

Anyways.. I am now testing aHero which is not a Sense ROM and in here Facebook sync worked instantly...

Facebook sync just doesn't make Sense to me

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmoon:
I read a tip that said

Open Persons app

Go to Online tab

Go to Facebook

Do a manual update...

I just did that and now all my Facebook contacts are synced...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
By "persons app" do you mean the "People" app?

By "online tab" do you mean the "updates & Events" tab?

By "go to facebook" do you mean online or in the app because I don't see it under any of the tabs?

I am unable to follow your instructions...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmoon:
Switching my system to English to get the correct names.

1. People app

2. Online Directories

3. Facebook

4. Menu -> Refresh.

Maybe the ROMS differ a little. My ROM is Legend WWE Europe Port to Hero v1.2 by Behnaam.

FB sync working for me in villan3.4
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taz633:
I've found a fix

I think I've just discovered something important about this problem...

I had the same problems and even by deleting the 'HTC Sense' App on FB and re-added the sync account on m Hero, the problem did not resolve entirely.

I'm using the Autokiller app to change the rules by which the Android OS is closing apps. (Apps don't really close in Android for anyone who doesn't know that, so the OS closes Apps using a set of rules, you can change those rules using Autokiller to make the OS close apps a little bit more efficiently). and to the point...

Anyway, I thought to myself that there could be a slight chance that the rules I set were so strict that it could be that the problem is that the OS is closing the facebook syncing maybe because it uses too much RAM (maybe downloading the updates, contacts and photos takes a good load of RAM). so I've set the rules less strict, and suddenly, right after changing the rules - FB contacts, updates, and photos started to pour into my phone! I've found that it downloaded ALL of FB Data!!!

So if any of you guys is using the Autokiller app with very strict settings, probably that's the problem (I'm still not 100% sure its the problem but it's very likely that it is) please lower these settings to allow the syncing to run as it should.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oum:
Ok I'm desperate now.

My Facebook sync used to work perfectly until I had to wipe and reflash VillainROM12 2 days ago.

Deleted HTC Sense from my FB apps before, Autokiller not installed yet, and "Facebook for HTC Sense" does sync over wifi, but won't sync over 3G, thought mobile network is fine with other apps.

Driving me crazy, reflashed VR12 3 times now, and reflashed radio too... still no Facebook sync over 3G.

Which os weird is that it is exactly same issue with AppBrain app :confused:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pyee0124:
That's happened to me before.. But my own fault for not flashing properly.

thx for your reply

my phone spl now is really 1.33.0009 s-on not 1.76.0009

thx again

i have made goldcard more times but all falied i tried five card but no one word
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dk75:
if you have 6.35 radio and 1.33 SPL with S-ON then you could go to repair shop to exchange phone motherboard.

Or to save some money you could buy new one and sell this one for parts.

Proper way of upgrading to new radio:

- eng SPL 1.33 ( S-OFF )

- radio 6.35

- SPL 1.76

- rom for 6.35
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] palm13:
oh my god very bad luck to me

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
Try this. With goldcard...

If it will not help - then you should go to servce
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerry_xu_cs:
i check the original thread in a chinese forum(he posted same thread before). he said he can run fastboot; recovery is dead and even splash1 doesn't show up. i assume, at least, this cannot be defined as brick, right?

the original thread indicates that his phone was SPL 1.76.0007, which is PERFECT and RADIO 6.35.08.29 before. he just directly run the ruu which contains SPL 1.33.0009 in order to downgrade but the phone stuck at flashing radio and then he removed the usb cable. eventually the situation said in this thread came out.

i wish the information i provided can help find out a solution instead of talking about sending the phone to the service.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dk75:
so there is downgrade RUU?

didn't know

and AFAIK there is no safe method to downgrade Perfect SPL 1.76 - there is solution for old radio/spl but I didn't seen any about 1.76 SPL

As far as I know every where where I've seen instruction about flashing FLASH ROM memory there was a lot of warnings "do not interrupt flashing in the middle!!!", "be shure to not lose power supply durring flashing!!!" with explanation that "you will have electronic junk if that happen" and "only paid service after that".

And that warnigs was for PC motherboards, photo cameras, mp3 players, handhelds, phones, cd/dvd recorders even...

So i don't know if anything could be done.

Maybe goldcard but since there is no working fastboot (since it have S-ON SPL) and phone is not booting then CID must be obtained without phone or if adb is working then follow goldcard tutorial to install ENG SPL.

After installing ENG SPL there will be no problem with flashing new ENG SPL 1.76 for 6.35 radio and flashing ROM for 6.35 with fastboot command at computer.

Greetings everyone

I am wondering if some of you would be able to provide suggestions as to why I can not connect to the mobile internet network when using an O2 (UK) sim card.

When ever I need a data connection the snapvue attempts to connect but eventually it tells me that it "cannot connect for an unknown reason". I am still able to send and receive text messages and phone calls.

I have spoken with O2 and they tell me it is the snapvue settings even thought that appear to be correct.

I have used the sim card in other HTC phone and I still have the same problem. This leads me to suspect that it is the sim card that is causing the problem.

I hope that someone may have an idea.

Thank you for all your help.
[Shift General] Flanimal:
Can you test the same SIM card in a 3G USB dongle or a phone to see if it works in something else?
[Shift General] warmsteel:
I Have used the sim card in another HTC phone and it didn't connect then. I don't have access to a dongle but I am going to try the sim card in a 3rd phone running WM, tonight? I shall report back.
[Shift General] warmsteel:
And the report is, the same message kept appearing, cannot connect for an unknown reason. I am thinking it is the sim card? does anyone have any other thoughts?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nilzor:
Ok so I'm considering converting to Android. Anyone here ever developed for that platform? How does it compare on the key features missing/not missing from WP7, like:

-Multitasking

-File system access

-Native code execution

-Sideloading

-GUI libraries (This is one of the POSITIVE things of WP7 - the Metro lib)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I can pretty much live with most limitations apart from file system access in some form - lack of it means that I can't even copy a ppt from a PC that doesn't have Zune stuff installed, let alone copy my ebook library to the phone. That is the most annoying thing on the iPhone, and I really hate to see it appearing here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
im sure there will be a way, why else would they put power point on the phone only to have to email it to yourself?? that would be stupid, good thing i dont use PP:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, there's desktop software, so you can "sync" some files to the device. Zune PC software is miles better and more flexible than the iTunes (i.e. you can add multiple sources/folders for different types of content), but it's still limited in so many ways (like you have to have software installed, which is a 50MB+ download, and it only exists for Windows). Another problem is that you can't download files from the internet with a browser (there's no file save dialog available, so where would you put it), you can't save an email attachment, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
i totally forgot about file downloads...i think im gonna miss that the most i hope they change it..i wanna be able to download things onto my phone, man they are taking so much away :(

but still adding enough for me to switch:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
We just need a jailbreak for this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chalid:
Android > WP7

I was, and still am, using WM for some time now and like it a lot. But having all these limitations just sucks. Having no multitasking and being stuck with the default startscreen without the possibility of having Sense, SPB Mobile Shell etc. is most annoying and will result in beeing my next phone an Android device ...

I can understand why Microsoft was tempted to adopt iPhones OS bit by bit, but this is just absurd. They stripped everything good from WM combining it with everything bad from the iPhone and mixing it with some eyecandy. Bravo ... and bye :-(
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
WP7 > WM6.5 > iphone > android

android feels like a cheap mix of wm & iphone to me i never like it, yes they mite have stripped away alot of what made wm great but it also stripped away so much that made it horrible
[Windows Phone 7 General] chalid:
Cheap mix? Have you recently used an Android device? The OS has grown up since first released. 2.1 is very nice to use and since its highly customizable, you can change the looks to whatever you like. And don't forget, google are frequently updating their OS - unlike the WM or Apple, where changes came quite slow.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
So frequently they change their OS that the platform is a complete zoo already, with several major versions in the market, and even an achievement of making an application that works on a single phone. Granted, WM isn't much better, but at least it has an excuse of having existed for some 10 years.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ramdroid77:
Customization is not only about a fancy look! For sure you can perform great hacks within a Java sandbox! :lol:

About frequent updates, yes, Android really needs them, to reach the level that WM 6 already has got!
[Windows Phone 7 General] gogol:
I am with you in this part, that is the biggest let down for me.

I put quite a lot of files on my current WM, software utilities, my own data, etc.

I like to carry them, just in case I visited my friends/families and I want to help them fix their PC.

Now, how can I do that with WP7?

My only option would be via email :( ... or a bit better if there is DropBox.com client on WP7. But still, transferring large file will be painful.

Sure, I can live without multitasking, really, I dont use it much or not at all.

I can live without SD card slot (8GB or more internal storage is good enough for me).

I can live without side-loading, no worries.

But please give me access to transfer files ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] havox22:
no i havent used the nexus 1 or the NEW stuff but, i could care less about frequent updates unless it added something major, i used the eris very briefly about a week ago & it seems pretty much like the same crap that was on the G1, i dont like it 1 bit(besides the lock screen) id rather stick with WM or switch to the iphone, but thats just me
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
It's not just about frequency of updates, it's about consistency in the update policy as well. Having people see an Android phone and say "umm... I see that's running 1.5. Is it getting the 2.1 update?" is bad, getting replies down the lines of "maybe", "if we feel like it" or "if the manufacturer chooses to support the update" is disgusting. I'm not even referring to old handsets here, recent lower-end models are having this problem. Even the Milestone had problems, there was a distinct lack of info from Motorola about if and when the Milestone would go from 2.0 to 2.1

Android is an interesting OS, but I think Microsoft definitely have one up on Google with regards to the way they'll be handling manufacturers on WP7. It *should* work well, a nice balance between the Android/WinMo method of "do whatever you like" and Apple/Palm's method of locking down the hardware completely.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chalid:
yes, updating an OS frequently comes with some disadvantages, but having an OS which is moving forward constantly, like android, outweighs those disadvantages. look at the features android is offering - neither WM/WP7 nor the iphone can compete with that.

and seriously, are you kidding with the updates? at least some devices are getting official updates from 1.5 to 1.6 to 2.0 and so on ... look at windows mobile handsets. WE have to keep our devices uptodate, since microsofts business model is too crappy to do that, and HTC sometimes just doesn't bother (how long did it take for the TP2 to get an 6.5 update?) - not to mention the other OEMs.

dont get me wrong, I like WM for what it is at the moment - highly customizable with nearly endless possibilities. and I love my HD2 more than ever, since I customized it exactly the way I needed. but after seeing what google has accomplished with android within this short period of time and the current version, I am pretty certain I will switch over to android - due to the massive shortcomings of WP7S. No copy and paste ... come on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sm3rtlag3l:
Android OF COURSE.

Nobody can seriously want a phone that does not even copy&paste. Not to mention multitasking. And worst of all, the only way to get files onto the phone is to email them to yourself. WP7S SUCKS BIG TIME.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
This is complete crap and it annoys me when I read comments about this, "android fragmentation" etc by people who know nothing about the OS.

There are currently 2 "main versions" of Android

- Android 2.1 (and 2.0)

- Android 1.6

While it is true that phones are still being released with Android 1.6, most of them will be updated to 2.1 soon enough. There is absolutely no limitation of being on Android 1.6 you can still run 90% of apps. Android is backwards compatible, most developers will look to develop for Android 1.6 because it will work on both 1.6 and 2.1. Infact... I know of only 1 app which is 2.0+ exclusive which is Urbanspoon (big deal).

The phones which still run on 1.6 are largely those which run custom UI. This is because android is developed at a fast pace and developers need time to develop their custom UI. (2.0 and 2.1 are fairly new) They will be updated to 1.6 in time.

The G1 probably wont be updated, this phone is almost 2 years old? I'm sorry but technology moves fastly and its necessary to leave some things behind in order to progress.

So that's it. We have 2 versions, 1.6 and 2.0/1 with nearly all 1.6 phones being updated to 2.1 soon.

The Hero is still on 1.5 this because they decided to skip 1.6 altogether and go from 1.5 to 2.1 and that update is coming very soon.

Custom UI Doesn't cause fragmentation, it's like having TouchFlo3d on windows that doesn't cause problems. It's still the same OS underneath, still runs the same apps and still functions in the exact same way.

And no it's not an achievement of making an app which works on a single phone. Android is very easy to develop for, Java is easy to learn and an app coded for 1.6 will work for every device out there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Differences between Android 2.0 and 2.1?

Live Wallpapers

Gallery3D

Few tweaks

It wasn't necessary for Motorola to rush a 2.0 to 2.1 upgrade. All apps that work on 2.1 will work on 2.0 anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sm3rtlag3l:
It is totally irrelevant for the user whether the platform is fragmented.

The user just buys the phone that does what he wants. Sure, he can not know that a phone does what he wants just because it has "Android" written on it, but with a little bit of using his brain he can find out.

I want Android and MS Exchange? I buy the Desire. I do not have to care about other devices, so what? I don't give a **** about fragmentation.

I want a real keyboard? I buy the Droid/Milestone. Do I have to care what Android version other phones run? No.

Fragmentation is maybe bad for developers and it sure would be good if Google fixed it, but they have lots of time, cause WP7 starts off with very little apps, so Google has a huge lead.
