My phone is always asking me to link my contacts to their fbs/twitters etc but I already pressed each and everyone to link them. If I "link" them again they will unlink and ask me 5 minutes later to link them AGAIN. Is there any fix for this? This is getting annoying plus my contact's facebook pictures doesn't show up. -___-
bump? anyone?
mine did this for two days straight. Doing it again now only cuz I wiped for a new rom.
I started to get the link account last week. I had the phone since day one. I think that happened Last week when I finally activated yahoo messenger.

This is a post from Android Central member ccw1134:
"So let's set the table here. Facebook Push Notifications are the golden egg that we're all looking for. Well after reading this you can go obsess about something else...finally (I know I will). I have been beyond frustrated with the chaos that has surrounded this subject. I've spent way too many hours reading and reading then reading some more. I am proud to say that I finally cracked the elusive Facebook Push problem.
I switched from Verizon to Sprint last week (work decision) so I went from a Droid Incredible to a EVO 3D. I was hoping that my Push notification would work when I switched since they never had. To my dismay they did not. My daughter went from a BB Curve to the Motorola XPRT and her FB push notifications worked! She always would always say "Dad you're phone's not so Incredible now, is it?" So when I got my EVO 3D and it didn't work I really became obsessed. After comparing settings on both phones and Facebook settings I found the one anomaly. The list of authorized apps within Facebook (Account dropdown>Account Settings>Applications on the right side of the page) on the computer showed "Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones" on hers but not mine. It's so simple yet outside of the box. The key is BlackBerry permissions! I am willing to bet that everyone who has working notifications on Android came from a BlackBerry. Okay onto the good stuff.
- Find someone with a working BlackBerry. This could be a friend or any store that has activated demo phones. - Using the Facebook app on the BB log into your account and wait for your stuff to start appearing. I did not log into email or anything else, just FB. - After you see your Newsfeed updated with your information simply log out. - Go into your FB settings on your Android phone and check the Notifications box. The refresh interval doesn't matter (it can even be set to Never). - Notifications should start appearing as you get them (Comments, Wall Posts, Pokes, Likes, Messages, etc.)
I did notice a couple of things that I hope get improved in the notification process. Messages and Friend Requests have their own separate icons for notifications just as they always have. Comments, Wall Posts, , Tagging, Pokes and Likes all share the new notification icon that you will start seeing. Because of this if someone pokes you and then you get a comment or whatever, your Poke notification is gone (I'm assuming because the FB App doesn't officially support Poking yet therefore it doesn't know how to handle that notification) and won't know who poked you. Also if you should happen to click on the poke notification doesn't take you anywhere useful, just the list of notifications (for the same reasons listed in the previous sentence). This is a small sacrifice for now. If someone tags you in a post (I assume a picture will be the same way) you also will still get an email notification to whatever email you use. Just an FYI on that.
For the record I am on Sprint using a nonrooted HTC EVO 3D running 2.3.3 and Facebook is version 1.6.3. I do not believe the carrier, phone model, OS or Facebook version matter but I know there are those out there who want to know this type of stuff."
I will be trying this out, seems promising according to replies there!
(mods, I wasn't sure if this would be the right place so feel free to move it.)

Nope. I came from BB to Android and while I had notifications working about a month ago with a FB app update (nothing to do with switching from BB to Android), they no longer work and they didn't work when I initially switched over either.
I just checked my account settings and the Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones is still listed there and still has permissions.
Think it is just a coincidence for you.

Well this wasn't me, I have yet to try it. It's a repost of something from Android Central.

I don't know what the difference is but I installed the blacked out Facebook located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200174
And I now receive notifications for the first time. I just installed the apk today so for me it worked and I have no reason to understand, just that I now get notifications. Can someone else confirm with this that they receive notifications?
The only way i got them to work was to create a new fb account.

Sure fire way to fix this:
Deactivate, then immediately reactivate your account. It's kind of a reset button.

Nope, did it last night. Deactivated, then signed back in to reactivate, all from the browser. All your settings, friends, and such stay the same. Now I get every notification.
So you deactivated your whole account from the computer browser? Then reactivated it? No blackberry hoops to jump through.

Nope. I had a BlackBerry before my G1, and I still use BlackBerrys occasionally, including Facebook. I have gotten a total of two notifications from Facebook on Android, and it has never worked since.

Are you sure it's all ok? I'm a page administrator too and it's clearly written that I won't get back my administration rights back automaticaly if I deactivate...
i moved the facebook app to the SD card then back to my phone and it seemed to have fixed notifications for me
Wow. So many different fixes it almost seems like coincidence now. I know facebook is free and all and we shouldn't ***** but those guys are getting rich and not really giving anything back. I mean come on? Don't you think somebody that works for them uses android app and can see it sucks?

For the past few days I have been having an issue with the stock android email client connecting to my Yahoo mail account. It works for a while but then when I go back to check it I have a message that requires me to re-enter the password.
This only happened after I updated to the latest Humble but I have to think that was a coincidence since it still happens after I reverted back to EP1 and then EP3HA.
WTH? Any ideas?
Thats exactly how mine is!
I too am experiencing the same exact issue... I get a "Sign-in error". Then a prompt that I "Need to update password for email account : [email protected]".
Anyone else seeing this?
I too have been seeing the same issue.
I think it's a general Yahoo issue. Not only have I been seeing it on the phone but I've been seeing it on Outlook on my computer several times a day when it autochecks.
been having same problem abotu 3-4 times a day for yahoo
I am hating it same problem here. I think it has something to do with yahoo servers not our phones or android system

Hate to add just another post but just started on my wifes phone also.
This is infuriating... anyone know somebody at Yahoo who might give a crap about this? I stuck with Yahoo over the years because they never sold out dissidents to the Chinese like Google did... but this is gonna make me leave Yahoo forever.
I went back to stock setup and I am still having this issue...???
My phone as well!
is anyone able to login into thier actual account?
I don't use yahoo, but two of my coworkers recently dumped yahoo because of ongoing problems like this.

I love this phone and this is certainly not a deal breaker for me but here is my issue. When I first got the phone about 3 weeks ago my email ( Enhanced Email ) worked perfectly. All of a sudden it won't send. Contacted my email provider to check settings and they are fine. I did a search but could'nt find anything. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. Rob. Oh the phone is stock.
Reset phone switched to K9 mail and so far so good

I just sent 4 attached pictures through my gmail app and it is going on 5 minutes now. Im using my wifi(optimum) at home right now and its going on 5 minutes now, still sending. It does this when i use my service provider too(simple mobile). Still i see the sync icon on the top of my phone and if i go into mail, its still in the outbox and sending. Is something wrong? Each photo is about 6mb.
If something is wrong its on my phone too im on tmobile and frequently after waiting for a long time it just fails to send altogether. Yahoo mail is a little better

It's because the FBI is backlogged with work because of all the data flowing through the internet they have to review.
I think Gmail freaks out if you try to send more than 10mb

Has anyone been having issues with whatsapp this week? I'm constantly getting delayed messages (30-45 mins late). Its so bad that my outgoing messages will go out and then suddenly I get messages from 20 mins ago so the conversations are mixed up. This is happening to me and my wife who is out of the country right now and several of her family members too. Just wondering if any of you guys are seeing the same behavior as well. I've searched Google for any news about this, checked their twitter, etc but can't find anything about any issues.
Thanks!

No, no such issue. It does sometimes take a while to send (even on 60Mb internet), but nothing that dramatic...
Could be the new update from 01 Juli. I've had it happen with a previous update a few months ago. Seems there are more people with recent functionality issues since the new update. (Play reviews) It's why I put off updating untill it starts whining about it, I'm still on the previous update.
Thank you! I didn't think to check the play reviews. Yep, a fair number of people saying the same thing.

If you continue to have issues with whatsapp I recommend using viber as an alternative, it's essentially the same thing but better quality servers in my opinion. You can even make free calls internationally.

thats not actually a solution bro
Sent from my Canvas 2 using xda premium
Yeah its not. I already convinced everyone to move to whatsapp from kik, plus my wife can't sign up for viber right now since she is out of the country and using a local SIM.
Having said that, the fact that viber syncs with a desktop app gives me tons of incentive to switch chat programs again. That's always been my one complaint about whatsapp. I hate being at work and having to pull out my phone to message people when I have a full keyboard sitting right there in front of me. This will be a godsend assuming I can convince all my people to switch yet again.
