Facebook linking on CDMA HERO 1.5 (Rooted)

My Htc Hero is having a problem linking facebook to my contacts. I can enter into a contact, select to link with facebook, then wait for it to find my facebook friends list. First it says "Friends data is either downloading or unavailable". So I wait more... then it says "Contact list is empty". I have restarted the phone. I have logged out of facebook on my phone and logged back in. I have downloaded the facebook app (just in case that was needed). It worked once before. I hard reset my phone and the contacts resynced with google. Google has in the notes the contact facebook link... but the phone does not read it. What should I do?? Im currently with Cellular South... if that matters.
Thanks
**Edit** I am now on DamageControl v1.0 but still nothing.

I know about a day ago I was having trouble syncing with anything... all I got was "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". I waited about a day, and it started working again. Maybe this will happen to you?

Already tried "just wait"
This has been going on for about a week now already :/

DamageControl 1.0
Im also with Cellular South and using DamageControl now... but still no Facebook contact linking. The "My Contact Card" syncs fine and my profile pic shows up... it's only when I try to link another contact. It searches for like a millisecond and shows "No matches found". Could this be because "friendstream.apk" does not work? I believe I saw somewhere that it does not work.

Had the same problem today using darchlegend... I signed out of Facebook for HTC Sence and signed back on, and then manually synced. That solved my issues.

I did that, and now I do not see the "Sync Contacts" under the Facebook for HTC Sense account. Im rebooting now.
**Rebooted.. and still FAIL!!**
I really would like this feature... it's what brought me to the Hero in the first place :/

Down the Drain
I see this thread getting lost in the mass of other threads and with no answer

Here is how I fixed the issue:
Go to Settings -> Accounts & sync
Here remove your Facebook for HTC Sense account.
Once removed exit Settings then go back to Accounts & sync and add it back in.
Next open the Photos app, move to the facebook icon at the bottom of the screen. Wait for all your facebook friends profile photos to load. Once that is done go to the People app. Hopefully you will now see everyone linked and their photos will show up.

Nothing :/

Picasa sync with gallery?

I read that the gallery can show folders from your picasa web albums account. Anything special that I need to do to make this work? I have successfully uploaded pictures and it has all my login info stored. It just never shows me folders from my web albums.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

in your settings> accounts & sync > choose your google account > make sure sync picasa web albums is checked.
thats all i did and it works perfectly!
hope this helps.

I looked there but for some reason mine doesn't have Picasa on that list. It only has Contacts, Gmail and Callendar. I only signed up for Picasa about a week ago, which was after I set up the account on my phone. Maybe it doesn't think I have Picasa so it doesn't display the option to sync it for me? Any idea how I can refresh it?

Interesting.. i have the same issue on my other HD2 belonging to my wife.. what can we do?

Ur not supposed to see Picasa in Accounts.....just make sure the Google or Gmail account associated with the Picasa u have pix in is your primary account u use to house your contacts or log in your Android phone...

I'm still having trouble with this. I have no option to sync with picasa. I see no settings anywhere on my phone or google account to enable this either.
Any ideas?

Have you already set up the Picasa Web Albums part of it? You need to link Picasa to Web Albums first and then it should eventually show up in your account sync list.

Picasa is linked to my Web Albums. I can download, upload, sync etc between Picasa 3 and Picasa web albums (not that google has done a great job with syncing those two things either, but it works).
I just downloaded another album and uploaded another file between picasa3 and picasa web albums. Guess I'll wait a day or two and see if anything changes...
Everything else I've been reading is pointing to me having to do a hard reset. This issue is something Google needs to figure out.

where do i set this up?? on phone or on google .. i cant seem to find it ?? please help

I think you need to do that on google from the picasa website and link it with your google account.

Here is how I have it on my cappy...
If your google account linked to phone is the same as the one you use for picasa web albums then go to settings->accounts an sync..under manage accounts you should see the google account you have linked the phone to. Click on the account. You should see an options to sync the Picasa Web Albums. If it is not already checked, well you know what to do.
If you have books linked to this account that should show up, so should calendar, contact and of course gmail.
So if you are like me...who creates mutiple picasa/google accounts to upload pics, then under account and sync click the add account button, follow the prompts and in the end just check the "Sync Picasa Web Albums" leaving everything else unchecked. That way, I have only my primary gmail emails in my inbox and all the pics from all my accounts in the gallery.

That's the problem... the sync to picasa selection is not there for everyone. The problem seems to happen when people get their phones all set up, THEN create a picasa account and THEN try to link it.
I have NO option to sync picasa on my phone. I can, however, upload pictures to it from a file browser, etc... Just won't "Sync".

This isn't always the case.
In my case, the order is reversed. My Picasa account is several years old, and it is integrated with my Google account. I got my first Android (Samsung Intercept) last year. I have options to sync Docs, Contacts, Gmail and Calendar (and even Google Books if I install that app), but no option for syncing to Picasa web.
Interestingly, I acquired a LG Optimus V a couple weeks ago. There *is* an option to sync to Picasa, and it was turned on automatically. In addition, the Gallery app is completely different then the Gallery app on the Samsung Intercept.
I believe that most phones use an app called Gallery 3D, and that app is the only app which allows syncing with Picasa.
This forum has APKs to install Gallery 3D on your phone, and I did this months ago before uninstalling the app. However, none of the APKs work for me.

One thing to note, with google plus, you can set it up to automatically upload every pic you take to picasa

Does the Google Plus app upload photos to plus.google.com, or picasaweb.google.com ? From my understanding, these are different applications.

go into contacts and add a "corporate email" account. add your gmail account credentials. finish the account setup and make sure there's a box that asks if you want to sync calendar, make sure its checked. wait about 5 min after the dialogue and you should be set.
at least that's what I did to get my calendar and my contacts sync'd.
good luck.

This only syncs your default Google calendar -- and some of my entries are missing. My other Google calendars have never appeared. (I'm on Google Apps.) Contacts do work this way.

Yeah that is what I was doing and I get nothing! I just tried again and it highlights but then I get nothing! stange, very very strange!

Did you do this on a computer or the tablet itself? I am not finding how to enter corp account on the tablet!

Go to Contacts, then Accounts on the menu, then Add Account, then choose Corporate. Enter your gmail credentials, then on the next page enter /[email protected] and m.google.com as your login info (if it's not already entered for you). It'll take a while for the contacts and calendar stuff to sync.

I set this up without using corporate email, and I have multiple google calenders syncing. I'm not on google apps, just regular google account.

What ROM are you using?
I have never seen an option to set up a Gmail account, using Google Contacts under TNTLite. When you first set up the tablet, and it sets up your default Google account, it sets up mail, but never gives the option for contacts/calendar. (This goes for both a Gmail account and a Google Apps account.) If I look at my accounts via the Gmail app, the Sync Management page shows only Mail as a sync option, with no Calendar/Contacts options.
On my Nexus One, when you go to add an account under Contacts, "Google" is an option along with Corporate (and Twitter and Facebook, if you have those installed). But, on the tablet, under TNTLite, there is no option to add a Google account, only Corporate and the others.
I've mentioned this a bunch of times, hoping that someone with more knowledge would take some time to figure out why--is it because TNTLite installs Gmail 2.3 as the default, and not 2.2? What is it about the account setup that only creates a link between a Gmail account and Mail, leaving Contacts and Calendar out in the cold? And how come when adding a new account you have no option to add a new Gmail account, like on vanilla Froyo?

There are apks, that need to be installed to sync calenders and contacts for non coporate I believe, as it was not in my syncing options until I installed these. They are GoogleCalenderSyncAdaptoer.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

I am using CM6.1B4 for the ROM, I had the same issue under this rom where I could not add another google account or calenders/contacts. I followed this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842590) and I was able to get it to work where I have multiple gmails accounts, and can sync contact and multiple calenders. At first when following that thread it killed my rom, so I had to clear cache/data, reinstall rom, and then all was fine. I removed the an Email.apk(?) and that got rid of the corporate email account since I don't use one. I beleive you can just install the apk's from that thread to get things to work, the *SyncAdaptoer.apk's. I have gmail 2.3 so I don't think that is the issue. Not sure what apk controls being able to add multiple gmail accounts since I think that always worked for me, although I remember messing with things and not having that ability anymore. Hope this helps.

I've tried multiple times to just install the SyncAdapter.apk files, and always get Application Not Installed. Maybe there's a certain procedure to follow? (install them after wiping data, and before doing the Google Account set up?)

I tinkered with getting calendar to sync with my Google calendar last night. I was successful in getting "Touch Calendar" from the market to sync, but not the Calendar that is included with TNT Lite 2.0.2.
Process: I went to the Contacts App and added a second email account (same as the first). By default, it labeled it as a "Corporate Account". The original one was labeled as "local only" or some such. In the wizard that takes you through creating the account, there are checkboxes for Sync Email and Sync Calendar. They are at the bottom of the page, so make sure you scroll down every page in the wizard or you might miss them. I don't believe Calendar is checked by default.
I don't particularly like the "Touch Calendar" app, but it is functional. If anyone else has a Calendar App that is working - please let me know about it. I don't know what Roebeet has included with TNT Lite 2.0.2., but that one is not working for me. It looks like the TapNTap calendar to me.

Talk2Rider--
The calendar in TNTLite 2.02 is the default TNT Calendar, not the Google Calendar (Roebeet went back to the default TNT Calendar in his TNTLite Supplements). You're seeing your Google calendar stuff in Touch Calendar because that's keying off the Corporate account that you set up, while TNT Calendar doesn't use that.
The Corporate account set up doesn't help those of us who are trying to get multiple calendars to sync in the Google Calendar app. The need exists to be able to add another Google account (like you can in vanilla Froyo), not doing a workaround of a Google account as a Corporate account.

These are system apk's so just drop them into the /system/app folder and reboot. But I didn't do that, I installed the whole package from that link I posted, and had problems at first where it hosed everything for me, but after clear data/cache, reinstall rom on top (doesn't wipe out these apks) everything was working.

Tried it (putting just the *SyncAdapter.apk files in /system/app, and rebooting), then deleted my existing Google Apps account, rebooted, but I still don't get the option to sync calendar/contacts as a Google account, and no ability in Contacts to add a Google Account.
I'm guessing if I install the entire TNT Keyboard/Gapps update.zip, then wipe data and then reinstall TNTLite 2.0, it might work. Just trying to decide whether I want to go through all of that.

Ya, I'm not familiar enough of the system apks to know if there was something else that needed to be done to get this to work. I know TnT light doesn't have the Gapp versions of the contact and calender....does it have the gmail.apk already? Best might be to install it all instead of trying to figure out what is going on. You can always use CWM to backup the system and if it doesn't work restore it back.
I don't want to be changing my system and want it stable, but I suspect I will be doing a lot of installing diff roms and wiping for a while till the roms get more stable and feature rich.

TNTLite 2.0 has the Gmail, Google Contacts, and Google Calendar apks. It's only the 2.02 supplemental that replaces contacts and calendar apps with the original TNT installed apps.
I made a half-hearted stab at installing the GApps stuff, then "reinstalling" TNTLite 2.0, but didn't wipe my user data. No change on the calendar/contacts stuff, and this resulted in messed up versions of Maps, Street View, and YouTube, which I was able to salvage through Titanium Backup uninstalls and then reinstalling from the Market. But I imagine getting the Gapps stuff truly working may require a full wipe, probably back to Vanilla TNT, and then installing Gapps first followed by TNTLite. I'm just not in the mood quite yet to go that far.
So, if anyone out there can figure out a way to get full Google account sync access working in TNTLite without having to start over, you'll get a gold star!

Picasa/Youtube uploading - Failed to retrieve account information error.

Hi guys,
I've answered the issue in the subject below. PLEASE do not factory reset your phones.
A similar answer has been posted in Google help forums.
----------------------------------
The reason why your factory resets work and after that, you skip any other account information and key in only your google account first is simple.
The first time the picasa upload is invoked, it parses your accounts list for account information to use. If any other accounts are in there, for example, motoblur, htc sense... perhaps even facebook(which was the case in my situation), it won't work anymore.
Solution?
Dont need to factory reset.
1.) Go to your accounts list and remove ALL other types of accounts there and only leave your primary google account there. I also suggest killing all apps using task manager cept those you've ignored(like droidwall etc).
2.) Open gallery and attempt to upload a picture via picasa, you should now see that it's able to show in the drop down list, all your albums.
3.) After a successful upload, which will happen because of steps 1 and 2, go to your account information list and add back your other accounts(facebook, whatsapp and whatever else).
Now you've got picasa uploads working permanently. Youtube should also work automatically(although i never had a youtube problem because my youtube account used in the app is diff from my primary google account used on the phone and for picasa).

Hello. Thanks. I tried your method and it actually worked. However, when I re-added my other accounts, the problem re-occurred. I am currently using Picasa tool for pic uploads and the browser for youtube uploads. Any ideas on how to solve this. I works perfectly with my Galaxy S II.

Do you have more than one Google account to add?

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------
it works! only problem is that once i install the account again the problem continues!

I am having this issue when Dropbox is in my "accounts" list.

I was experiencing the issue, removed all accounts but gmail and was able to send to picasa, added them all back after and again i was unable to.
I changed the email used for facebook to another different than the gmail one and i was able to upload to picasa again.
It seems the issue is with sync accounts sharing the same email/login as gmail.

I had the problem with dropbox. Couldn't upload things to Picasa.
Changed my dropbox email address login (which was the same as my google account email) and voila... everything works now as it should!
Thanks jsolares!

Same account name
Thx for this!
I removed endomodo account, which had same name (using google account) as account used for picasa upload and it works.
So basic advice is to remove/change name of all accounts which have same name as your google account.

Nowadays, facebook account in my xperia neo V with ISC is causing that problem. When I sync it with my FB account, im unable to upload pics to picasa. THAT sucks.

LinkedIn App is the problem
I have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.4
I removed all the account and repeated an upload after adding each account.
Right after adding LinkedIn account, the upload started to fail. Removed it and tried again, not surprisingly, it works.
Added twitter, added another google account, etc. No issues.
Ok, let's try again... then it fails. Again, remove the LinkedIn app, it works.
So the problem is the linked in account.

Thanks. it worked
actually it didnt, it stopped working after I added facebook and skype

Please google... Fix this fast!

Does anybody have solution?

2.) Open gallery and attempt to upload a picture via picasa, you should now see that it's able to show in the drop down list, all your albums.
3.) After a successful upload, which will happen because of steps 1 and 2, go to your account information list and add back your other accounts(facebook, whatsapp and whatever else).
Now you've got picasa uploads working permanently. Youtube should also work automatically(although i never had a youtube problem because my youtube account used in the app is diff from my primary google account used on the phone and for picasa).

Not true. As soon as you add your other accounts back the Picasa upload is broken once again. My research says it has to do with your other accounts having the same login credentials as your Google account. As a test, change your accounts in the sync section to an email address other than your Gmail account email address and you should be working properly. This is a band-aid fix however and it's something that Google needs to address as this should NOT be a conflict. Everyone complain to Google for an actual fix to this bug.

[Q][Fixed, working] Picasa integration in 3D Gallery...broken?

If I choose to share a pic via Picasa through the gallery app, it asks me to sign in. But the phone tells me there is already an account on the phone with that g account and wont let me sign in or upload.
Anyone know anything of this, workaround?
Edit: Factory reset did it. Not ideal but... I just skipped the initial account log in screen and used the gallery picasa option which prompted me to sign in. That's it, signed in, all set. Weird.
