anyone else having this problem with the feeds not refreshing in the widget
only way to refresh is to go in and manually refresh the new twitter tweets?
The way to fix this is:
1. Log out of your twitter application.
2. Remove the widget
3. Log back in
4. Re-add the widget.
I was having this issue for almost a month until I stumbled onto this solution somewhere on the net.
Hope that helps.

Guys,
I'm after something I'm not sure exists. I use LauncherPro and use the "Friends" widget to show the Facebook and Twitter feed (scrollable) on one of my screens.
The downside however is that you can't post a pic/video from here. You must use a different application which means having all your tweets/status downloaded again. just isn't tidy!
So my question is, is there an application out there that houses a wdiget that shows Twitter/Facebook timeline (scrollable) and allows you to post natively from the application, pictures/videos/links?
Tweetdeck does this however the widget to view the feeds is shocking and shows next to nothing!
Any help greatly appreciated
When I go to my Pictures hub, I do not see any of the albums that I have from my facebook like in other WP7s (it should have an album titled "from facebook"). It's been synced and everything else works fine, anyone have any ideas as to what the issue is?
Did you ever work this out? I have exactly the same issue, and really do not want to hard reset if I can avoid it. I have tried removing and re adding the facebook settings. What else can I try?
Just to add, I have now hard reset the device and entered my login info from scratch, and I still do not get my facebook photos showing in the pictures hub. I have not changed any settings in facebook. Can anyone suggest anything else I can try?
I had my facebook albums show up in picture hub. One day they just vanished. So I deleted my facebook account in 'email and accounts' in Settings menu and then re added it again in Contacts and the albums came back. So far they are still there.
Thanks. I've deleted and added the account quite a few times now both from 'email and accounts' and the applications -> people menu with no joy. All my contacts, my news feeds and the 'what's new' pictures work fine. What else could be the problem?
I never had my Facebook pictures showed up in the picture hub.. Didn't even know that could happen... I don't know how to make it work..
My question:
If I add facebook account, will it ask me to add or not to add FB contacts to my contacts? I just don't want any of my FB contacts to be in my contacts hub...
How does it work?
if you add facebook, it automatically pulls everyone to contacts and tries to tie as many to your current contacts stored in windows live. you can hide ones it didn't tie, but that's it. you can't choose what to sync.
I really wish that I could help you guys with the facebook pictures things (Though for me the only pictures that showed up are the ones the I uploaded... not ones that others did, and I know if you go the the pictures you want you can save them to your phone,) but if you don't want your contacts to be synced with FB go to Settings>Applications>people and hit the option that says "only add facebook info to existing contacts"
Hope that helps!
Just an update on this. I hard reset again, and it's working as it should. Bit of a hassle, but happy now

I upgraded from a HTC Imagio running Windows Mobile 6.5 to the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it is my first foray into the Android world, so I hope you can help with the following. As you can see, it was a big step up the ladder of mobile operating systems!
1. If I have a name prefix for my contact in the contact list, like Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr., the name does not autocomplete for that contact from the phone keypad. When I enter the letters of the first or last name on the phone keypad, the contact does not show up. However, if I delete the name prefix and leave it blank, it shows up fine. Is there some setting to have all the contacts show up or is it a bug? Is it happening for others too?
2. On the Windows phone, I had a reminder application which showed a list of all reminders. I could set the reminder to repeat after any number of days/weeks/years. However, in the Android Calendar, when I set an event, I am unable to set the number of days/weeks/months/years it has to repeat. For example, I need an event to repeat every 365 days (calendar with no leap day) but I cannot set it on my phone or in GMail. Also, when the alarm goes off, I would like to be reminded again after a day or a few hours or a few minutes until I dismiss the notification so I can have the remidner go off a few days before the event as a reminder. I don't know if that is possible too. I looked at a couple of apps from the Play Store but could not find one which does everything. Anyone know of a trick to get this to work?
Update: DGT GTD & To-Do List with its recent updates now does what I need. Thanks to the author for adding the features.
3. When I check my gmail in the web browser, I am unable to delete the mails. I touch the trash icon but it stays highlighted but does not delete the mail. Is that a bug or am I again doing something wrong? I have different gmail accounts that I would like to check on the phone without transferring contacts and calendar entries.
Update: Looks like a bug in the stock web browser. GMail works as expected in Chrome browser
4. Is there a clear writeup of how the calendar and contacts sync between gmail and the phone? I had transferred all my contacts from my Windows mobile phone to gmail and they showed up on my S3 when I set up the gmail account. However, they would not transfer to my phone. I had to export the contacts to a file on my phone and then import the contacts into my phone. Maybe I do not need the contacts to reside on the phone? I was worried that if I was in an area with poor or no signal reception, then I may not be able to view the contacts if they were only on my gmail account and not on the phone.
4a. Similarly, I would like to know how the calendar entries from gmail can be pulled on to the phone.
Thanks in advance for your help and patience in reading the above! I have a lot to learn but hope I can get my phone to work the way I would enjoy. If you can suggest any resource for reading other than XDA and Android Central, that would be great too.
Oops. This should have been posted in the Q&A Forum. Mods, can you please move it if that is where it belongs? Thanks!
Hello All
This is my first post in XDA. I am new to Android and to Nexus 4. I want your advise in choosing some apps, as I have found some drawbacks in the native apps:
1. No speed limits in GMaps - Ulysse Speedometer is a good app to overlay your speed over Maps but speed limit is not visible.
2. No composer filtering in GMusic - I am used to this feature and have my music setup for my old iPod
3. No way to remove Picasa albums from Gallery - I think the only option is to delete all my albums and create a local copy.
4. No way to review photo immediately after capture - This is important; sometimes if for some reason, the photo does not come out well and if I can re-capture the moment, I have to go into Gallery to review it.
5. No drafts syncing of my corporate email account - Important feature for me.
6. No Facebook contact sync - I found some apps to sync photos, Bdays - but not anything close to LinkedIn type of syncing for Facebook in the Contacts app.
If you recommend any apps to overcome any of these drawbacks, that would be helpful. Thanks!
1. Sorry, I don't care for speed limits since I don't have a driving license
2. Poweramp - the best player for Android IMO
3. Quickpic
4. If you're rooted, search for Android 4.2 Camera here on XDA...swipe to quickly review the photo and then swipe back to return to the camera
5. Sorry...I only use gmail
6. Haxsync - paid, but the best
