Haven't seen much written about this, so thought I'd throw it out there - for those using Sense, is your Friend Stream painfully slow when it comes to loading comments, posting comments, loading people's pages, etc? I love it for the widget and how easy it is to see twitter/FB posts on the home screen, but as for actually using it interactively (pretty much anything beyond just reading posts), it takes FOREVER and drives me crazy.
I'm still running stock, so maybe it runs better on rooted Friend Stream? Idk, I'm just perplexed by why it's so slow since most everything else is blazing fast. Every time I try to comment on a post through Friend Stream it makes me want to just use the FB app or the mobile site. Anyone else?
I use LauncherPro Plus and the "Friends" Widget, which works great.
Occasionally, if there is any issue with it not refreshing (which is not very often, but does happen) I just "restart" launcher pro and then trash and replace the widget. Always fixes it.
Maybe if your using Sense just trash the widget, force stop Sense, re-add widget?

Thanks for the reply, but the problem isn't that the widget doesn't refresh, it's that when I click on a post and then it takes me to the friend stream app, the APP is really slow. Takes like a minute or two for things to process. The widget has been updating regularly.
I'm on rooted stock rom and I feel your pain. Friendstream is horribly slow when you want to do anything other than read posts in the widget. I always end up using the FB app. Sucks, but I like the FS widget.

You just described exactly where I am with the whole thing. Love the widget, but have to use the FB app for interactive stuff. It's not a data thing b/c the dedicated FB app always refreshes and loads like *that* - but the friend stream app doing anything is...like...*thaaaaaaaattttt* (i.e. really slow). In a perfect world the widget and app would be one and the same, but oh well.
I'm having the same problem with mine friend stream app. The widget is fine but the app itself is dreadful!
Lol well at least it's nice to know that I'm not the only one. I guess that's why I started the thread, to make sure I didn't have a bad apple...well that and the hope that maybe someone would have a 'fix.' Oh well, I guess we just really have to treat is as ONLY a widget.
Does anyone have issues with Facebook no longer being an option to sync on the mytouch.
I have a black mytouch and I only have the option to sync Flickr and Twitter to my friendstream and I know for a fact that you could have Facebook because it worked on my white mytouch

You should definitely be able to stream FB through Friendstream. I only use it for FB and Twitter. Not sure why it wouldn't recognize it.
Yeah I factory reset and everything and still no go.

I've been trolling this site (& google) for a solution to my issue, but can't seem to find one. And, since i'm still considered a "newbe" i can't post within the Coredroid v6 thread, so i thought i'd start here.
Since i flashed v6.1 i don't seem to get weather information with the htc weather widget. I'm in an area where my city isn't listed, but i've always gotten "my location" weather information based on where i am located.
I wiped & flashed full Rom, Network is on, GPS is on, but no weather info. Htc widget says "my location" & lists time & date but that's it. I've removed & reinstalled the widget, rebooted, etc. Nothing is working for me.
FWIW, when i choose a listed city the weather info is listed.
Can anyone assist with something i may be missing?
I am having this same exact problem on my inspire with the Coredroid rom. Does anybody have any solutions to this issue?
I ended up flashing the new Coredroid 6.5 today and now it resolved. Not.sure if it was an issue when I flashed or not.
They have a 6.5 version out!? Could you post a link or is the update on the Coredroid thread page?

Yep, it was just released yesterday. It's up on the Coredroid page. Only one little glitch i have (and it revolves around the weather lock screen), but i'll try and re-flash and see if that fixes it.
Read the known issues for any rom you're about to try, then if there's an update for said rom, read the changelog. They don't type all that for nothing.

What's your glitch with the weather lockscreen? The shortcuts on the lockscreen somehow seemed to have disappeared on my phone.

Yeah, that's exactly what i'm noticing too. I've flashed twice, load the weather lock screen, along with new shortcuts. Initially it worked once, but after reboot, i've lost the weather on the lock screen, and the shortcuts show for 1/2 sec & disappear.
I may try downloading v6.5 again. Maybe it didn't download completely.
LeeDroid GB with Sense 3.0 seems to work well with the new weather app....

I tried flashing 6.5 again and noticed a message during the install stating "user data not touched. to do a fresh install manually delete user data" I'm thinking maybe this could be a reason but I don't know how to manually delete data.

Att.Fan, did you ever get the lockscreen issue figured out? I haven't had time to download a new file and re-flash, but that's my next step.
I haven't noticed any posts regarding v6.5 and lockscreen/weather issues.
On the coredroidroms.com website they mentioned a fix for the weather issue in the 6.5 version of the rom but there are other issues now with MMS messaging. They are trying to fix those as well.
Hey guys so I got the sensation and honestly I am loving this device. I have been on WiFi all day but haven't had a problem yet. I guess it is all about how u hold the phone.
Well I do have a slight problem which I need your help in. I can't seem to find the Facebook widget for HTC sense. I downloaded normal fb from market I can use that widget but don't see the sense widget. I see the Twitter for sense but not fb. Let me know what I can do.
Thanks in advance.

I believe it's bundled into the "FriendStream" widget now.
yes indeed..the friendstream is indeed bundled with facebook/twiiter etc
I see. Well it threw me of because in my accounts it is showing Facebook htc n sync's my info but no widget by it self. Oh well.
Thanks guys.

you can always download the android native app and use that widget.. but we already know about the seni and 3rd party widgets,, grrr
Add friendstream widget to your home screen. Then press and hold it and move to "edit" area of the dock. From there you can choose which networks are synced in that particular widget. I have 2 friendstream widgets, 1 for twitter and 1 for facebook.... did not like them all mashed up in one widget.
Hello,
In the directory, when I go to my contacts "Facebook", I have my contacts.
But when I go in my contacts "Facebook for HTC Sense", I have nothing.
As I had sync problems and I deleted my data, is the explanation?
My facebook account is set.
If I run a sync, I have an answer for Facebook for HTC Sense is not currently available
Have you the same thing?

I bet in the top right corner of the app it says "top news" and not "most recent" right?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
nope....most recent shown in corner. Uninstall and reinstall app seems to fix but same issures 5 mins later. Logoff and login again fix, but next time still all mess of stuff....damn it HTC or FB?
My htc news widget won't update. Any one has a similar problem? Any idea how to solve this?

In Accounts & Sync is News set to sync? (Sorry if that's too obvious, but it's the best place to start.)
Thank you but ya it's set to sync.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
try clicking the little refresh button on the bottom of the widget, that always works for me...if that doesnt work, remove the widget, add it again, re-add the news sources, and it *should* be fine after that
Solution of this problem
No folks, it is a well known bug for this widget. So the solution is simple. Install GOOGLE READER and sign in with your account and refresh. After that the news widget will work for you and update your RSS feed forever.

This HTC News app would be so much better if it had a way to mark all stories as read. Thumbing through all my stories takes forever...
Why would you use HTC News if you already have Google Reader installed?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
for me, the news app stopped syncing after the ROM update.I factory reset, and all is ok now.

i actually prefer the large htc news widget on my screen
Hello,
I have several weeks without being able to use the htc peep on my htc sensation, when I try to log in I get an error, the friend stream widget is working only with facebook, anyone knows any solution for this??
Got the same issue with my HD2 so I just changed to MoTweets instead....problem solved
Try to (in app manager) force close app and clear cache, and then try again...works when market app becomes unavailable...
Sounds ROM related... Mine on ICS SENSE 3.6 works well.
