FB Sync works on 1.5 or Defrost for you?

edit: people are saying fb sync works over on Defrost.

Adam should ask Richard for some help to fix it for 1.6 :)
[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:
Yeah works on DeFroST, had issues with WiFi and FB on OD 1.5 so went back to the MCR r21 ROM...DeFroST looks good for now (I can put up with the white bar for the time being)
[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
i will look into it
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Adam will you be able to fix FB sync on 1.6?
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:

[Desire Android Development] AdamG:
Havent looked into it yet, is it working on any other roms?
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
can we go back to topic now pls :)

I know I repeated what other people have said, so sue me. I get excited :P

Yes works on DeFrost 1.8
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
better compromise

Maybe youll have more consistent success using google gmail sync.

take some time to copy your contacts into your gmail account and sync with that once.

This is work in progress rom development , it will fail at times thats the risk we take to get on the bleeding edge.

Google sync should be more consistent than 3rd party smurfbook dross.

Regards
[Desire Android Development] worstenbrood:
Yeah well dude, we're all excited, but that doesnt mean we gonna whine on every topic here, no offense but you sound like my mom :d
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I have all my contacts on my gmail account so thats fine, I just like to have my FB contact pictures synced up with my contacts. :)

I aint whining, that would be me saying, Adam when will you fix it it dont work etc

I just asked if he will be fixing it..thats not whining. *rolls eyes*
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
I really don't get what you means.

Google sync is google sync, FB sync is FB sync.

How are they similar?

No one is blaming AdamG, he is doing a good work, ROM is almost-complete functional.

You can call crapbook, I don't write so much on my facebook profile, but I found it VERY useful, since:

- it will sync pictures according to facebook profile

- it will sync status according to facebook profile

Don't care really much about "show profile" link, though.

To those with echo/white noise, I have been using radio 32.37.00U_4.06.00.16_2 over many froyo roms this last month, and have never had this problem.

before smurfing this forum with your requests.

youll get more respect from us other users!.

[Desire Android Development] wingphil:
Agreed fb sync is low priority and people shouldn't be getting so worked up about it. Although I would like it working.

But you seem to be equating google sync with fb sync. They actually serve a completely different purpose.

Google sync keeps all your contacts backed up and allows you to use the same contacts in gmail and on your phone. It's pretty vital.

FB sync adds to those contacts with status updates and profile pics. Not vital at all but a bit of fun. But google sync no matter how you use it cannot be a replacement for this. They are two separate services and you can't replace either one with the other.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
Correct

they are not the same

Only reason I brought FB up again was Richard fixed it in his ROM so now someone has cracked it, it should make it easier as he can help Adam fix it on OD. If a fix is out there then dont you think its worth getting done. The echo/white noise issue is the biggest issue and more important BUT there have been no real fixes for it.
[Desire Android Development] jaketurbo:
It's logged as a bug on his site.

Saying "fix the FB sync issue" every single day isn't the most helpful.

People should just look at the bug tracking site...
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
Yes.

Bear in mind that devs are not Microsoft to release patches. If someone want, get an iPhone and wait for bug fixed for a year or so:D
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I just asked if he will be fixing it as Richard has fixed it on his ROM.

I would have not said anything if no one had fixed it yet.

Lets get back on topic now.

I just added a new bug to the bugs list, its to do with emails that have been marked as read are being notified as being new. Has happened few times now on 1.5 and 1.4.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
It only happens while booting - or maybe it is a Froyo feature :)
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
nope

I have not rebooted since 2 days ago. Plus it was not present on 1.3 or other ROMs. It happens randomly, like yesterday I marked 4 emails as read and then today I got notification that I got 3 new emails and they were the exact same ones I had marked as read. Not really a big issue but thought I would add it :)
[Desire Android Development] jompiz:
Search for SyncMyPix at appbrain, maybe that can fix your problem.
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
I tired that and its no good. its auto sync option is no good if you got multiple people on facebook with the same names, so it syncs the wrong person.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
Thank you, I've been around forums from a long time, I don't need to be advised since you didn't care to read and you don't even know what you are talking about.

1) I wasn't complaining, I was only explaining to YOU what the difference was.

I actually COMPLETELY migrated my Windows Mobile account on Google Contact even BEFORE buying my Hero, so thank you, I already know how to work with my phone.

2) It could be low priority for you, but I really don't care. Here it is listed as high priority, I properly reported the issue on the bug tracker, not here in the forum (I never asked "is it fixed?"), and I actually tried to help on every open report on the bug tracker.

http://code.google.com/p/opendesirerom/issues/detail?id=1

3) You are smurfing this thread, since you didn't even bother to know what FB sync was before calling it crapbook or something like that.

So, don't go teaching around. You should RTFM before doing that.

Peace & Love from a noob Italian user.

[Desire Android Development] DrLaban:
I am now testing ShadowFrost 1.4 regarding the MMS (send) issue.

It works with the exact same settings as I am running on the OpenDesire (which fails sending)

Exchange support fails during config (unable to connect to server) on both OpenDesire 1.5 and ShadowFrost 1.4, but works on OpenDesire 1.4.
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
Looks its a common bug or feature of Froyo distros on Desire
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
This is a common Froyo sickness as Exchange is not fully supported by Android 2.2 at all. I went through some discussion on n1 or even google and many people have the same issue no matter if its Desire or N1. Answer is simple - Froyo is not fully compliant with Exchange security policies.
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
I agree, this is wrong place & I don't care.

But no one asked you to help me on a different topic from the one I was talking about :D

So help report, if you care, otherwise don't badmouth something that you don't even use ;)

It could be useless or the most useful feature in the world: the fact is that it's already properly reported in the tracker, so let's stop the argument here.
[Desire Android Development] juliand:
add ringtone

Anybody knows how to add ‘any sound’.mp3 to the “/system/media/audio/ringtones/”?

Thank you so much :)
[Desire Android Development] masi0:
boot in recovery mode, adb shell, mount system and copy files you want (cp path/filename /system/audio/ringtone

but why dont you create a media folder on sd card with same structure?
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
ringdroid

try ringdroid from the app store
[Desire Android Development] juliand:
I actually want to add a ‘no sound’ file in the ring tone folder, so that I can put as default for some contacts’ ring ‘no sound’. So, if I do not want to be disturbed by someone, that person can call me forever, anyway I cannot hear it :D

Cannot be made as ‘apk’ file (sound file attached)?
[Desire Android Development] peewster:
Maybe i missed it while reading, but i'm looking for a way to disable the unlock sound.

Never mind.
[Desire Android Development] juliand:
I will try it out and let u know.

Just have the 'black' file on your SD card under a folder called 'Ringtones' and set it as you would any other ringtone - it's not hard
[Desire Android Development] gatsu_1981:
You don't need to touch system for adding a stupid ringtone :D

Just make a /media/audio/ringtones folder inside your SD.

Place sound there.

Reboot :D

You will be able to select it as a ringtone.
[Desire Android Development] juliand:
I managed to add the sound file in the 'ringtones' folder.

But it is a bit strange that it work on some versions of the same 2.2 rom? I have tried several times today with full wipe/format and everytime I try opendesire 1.4 it works and 1.5 don't. So there must be something in the rom that does it.
[Desire Android Development] hey69:
hi all.

First of all thanx for the programmer to share this all with us

i rooted and installed the opendesire 1.5 file.

Coming from an unbranded unlocked HTC desire

now a few questions if I may.

Is it me or are the photocamera options limited now (i cant choose the resolution? )

Looks to me the camera quality is also worse .

and another thing is options for call pickup that are missing

or where these part of the htc sense package?

for example: turn down phone to mute etc...
[Desire Android Development] Nekromantik:
extra camera options were apart of the HTC camera app which will only work with Sense.

The turn over phone to forward call to voicemail is another Sense feature I think, could be wrong though.
[Desire Android Development] AsMadAsEggs:
camera function are the same just different style menu

camera functions are the same just presented blander in froyo than the sense ui interface. Froyo roms not yet got the full resolution on video but its getting there

explore the camera app a bit more , you will find the pop out dialogs scroll downwards with more options probably your missing.

also FXCamera is nice free app from the market.

only get the basic options, none for resolution, iso etc which was in Sense

[Desire Android Development] Simc13:
Yes. i got same problem too. At my home WLAN, it disconnect me and then i must reconnect it manualy.
[Desire Android Development] noble8:
Did you download the second version of 1.5, the first one that was up for a few hours had the auto clock kernel. If you have the second version (current) and you dont run setcpu, then its 998Mhz.
[Desire Android Development] KaleBatzZ:
Yes downloaded the 2nd version. In Juice Defender I also can select 1267Mhz?

Can I flash DeFroST 1.8 Undervolt only kernel update (max 998MHz) to solve the problem? And btw what means undervolted? Thnx for the help!
[Desire Android Development] Jagdish84:
I think you should flash shadowfrosts kernel and not Richards Defrost..

BBC iPlayer streams OTA on 3g networks only if you are on Vodafone or 3.

I am on Vodafone but it keeps telling me to switch to Wifi as it needs a Vodafone connection.

Adter checking BBC site I changed my access point to the Vodafone Wap one but still no joy.

Could this be because I rooted? iPlayer needs Froyo which I am running but same problem on Kangorama and Rodriguez.

Any ideas?

In the same boat, and it's been reported on Voda's forum. Not sure who's ****-up it is.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lumsdoni:
I have also read that due to licensing laws iplayer cannot be seen abroad and they have a lot of trouble identifying mobile locations as some of the carriers are based outside uk.

It maybe that the only UK Vodafone 3g receivers are those with a custom app on their phone (One of the Nokias I believe!)

The Nokia app was Just a shortcut to the iPlayer website anyway.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultron:
I recently sold my HTC Hero. It was rooted, and the new owner was able to activate the phone and get phone calls and text messages. However, data has been elusive, and is giving an Error 67 whenever trying to access 3G.

We've tried using the ##DATA## trick to edit the username (it still kept the one from my account even after he activated it through Sprint), and we were able to change it to the one on his Sprint account, but it's still not working.

I think the next step is to do a hard reset, get data working, and then reroot the phone. However, my question is whether doing a hard reset will revert the phone back to the factory Android 1.5, which is rootable, or the latest Sprint RUU which is not?

Any ideas?
