Hey, guys. I just switched from the Vivid to the Skyrocket today. Pretty happy with it overall, but I think I must be missing something.
I had a SG2 before and I don't think I ever figured this out. Why does my facebook picture not show up in my contact card? It's definitely linked because it shows my current Facebook Status, but my actual picture is absent, even if I go to "set defaults". Am I missing something?
Try using Friendcaster and see if it works, and it will also sync higher quality images if you tell it to.

do you guys know of an app for your contacts that is simplistic? i'm not a fan of the photo thing next to each of my contacts and im pretty sure, it makes the phone lag a bit when scrolling through the list. I'd also like a contact widget, like the one that came with the phone, minus the photos...
-thanks

lag? srsly?
perhaps you want a flip phone?
but for real, i can't think of any replacment app that removes those features, those are pretty much big selling points for this type of OS and phone.
what phone are you coming from?
In cm7 there is an option to turn off contact pictures in your contact list. I'm pretty sure cm7 uses the stock gb phone/contacts app.
Don't know what to tell you about the widget except I use the starred contacts folder for quick access to my favorite people. You can add it like a widget.

there is a slight delay when i pull up my contacts because it has to load the photos. it isnt anything severe, but when it comes to calling folks, i really dont need to see their photo. that's just my opinion. secondly, i had a nokia e71x before this phone, and i really liked how simple the address book was on that phone. just a name, and an option to text or call. HAHA

another Facebook app optimized for Honeycomb has just been released.
NOTE: If you have FriendCaster for Android (non-optimized; phone version) on your tablet. If FriendCaster Tab doesn't download successfully, you need to uninstall the phone version.
First impressions, it looks very similar to FriendMe.
I keep getting the same notifications on FriendMe over and over and over again. Maybe Friendcaster will work better...

Seems a lot cleaner. Inbox doesn't seem to be loading for me though. Maybe it's just me. Who knows. Hopefully dev comes and squash these bugs in a timely fashion, its only a beta.

Looks similar but has a lot of features friend me doesn't. Groups works fully and with rewinds all areas of the profile and photos are accessable I like it

Just started using it and I'm loving it...

Same here, I'll get notification for new messages but will just sit there and never open up the message. Everything else seems good
Wow didn't think I would say friendcaster is wayyy better. I click on a picture and I can scroll to the other ones. And its ultra honeycomb smoothness with the graphic acceleration enabled
Pictures also load ultra fast aswell however messages are borked for now

Ah. So this confirms that its a overall app problem, hopefully it gets resolved soon.
P.S. new facebook chat with messaging integrated is TERRIBLE :X
I like it better than friend me so far, does a little bit more, smoother, and only beta, I wish I could view all my albums, but I'm sure its coming, I hope chqt gets integrated so I can delete go chat

No widget? I wtf. Android has those lovely email and gmail widgets but nothing for twitter, Facebook, or even google plus. I'd like a nice scrolling widget similar to LP styles.

Are there any Image apps that will let use TF as a digital photo frame? I want something that will have a button on lockscreen so we can click it to start the slideshow.
Thanks
i'd love to know the same thing
Try these: https://market.android.com/search?q=digital+frame&so=1&c=apps
I've never tried, because I don't have personal photos saved on my TF, but good luck.
"Floating Image" is pretty awesome.
There an app called flyscreen I think does it

Second that. I almost forgot about this app until you mentioned it. Had it on my phone a while ago and I forgot about it.
I just found a nice new app in the Android Market called HD Widgets by cloud.tv. It's 99 cents for a limited time ($2.99 in the future) and I just bought it. I like it a lot because I've been waiting for a nice tablet clock and weather widget to be available. Check it out if anyone is interested:
https://market.android.com/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&feature=search_result
There's also an article over at AndroidCentral about the app too:
http://www.androidcentral.com/cloud...dgets-designed-specifically-honeycomb-tablets
That's a pretty impressive list of widgets, but I don't think I'm ever interested enough in the weather to use the one in your 4th screenshot. Is that one widget that takes up a whole page?

It's actually the window that opens when you click on the weather from your homescreen. So when you click the widget on your homescreen, those details popup.
NICE widgets. Just purchased and installed. I like it better than the Asus weather widget, which was pretty flaky when updating.
Awesome widgets.

Glad you all liked it! I was talking with one of the developers by email and I was surprised at how fast they responded to an inquiry. Seems like they really stand behind their app.
Purchased the APP as well. My only "gripe" is that I wish they allowed you to put in multiple locations for Weather. Because then it would be awesome. And, I could get rid of Accuweather all together.
Wonder if I should bother them with this?

It looks beautiful. Kinda makes me regret buying Beautiful Widgets... And they spelt "RealFeel" wrongly.
Looks really good and the weather is accurate. Well spend 1$.

Yeah, I think you should bother them about this. It would be a great feature for all of us, and they are really down to Earth. They'd probably listen.
Go for it!

Then that should be changed as it's very misleading, if i bought the app for the full page like i was about to do, i would be very pissed.
Sent them an Email this AM. Will let you all know what happens.

I am running the 1/2 page tablet widget with my screen locked in landscape mode, but sometimes the weather graphic is like twice the size it should be, and covers up the location and date text. Occasionally, changing the orientation of the tab to portrait and back again will cause the widget to redraw and fix the problem. Other times, the display remains perma-goofed.
Anyone else see this kind of behavior?
Since the new update, the weather is not updating at all. Just says "Null". I've tried rebooting, selecting a new weather reporting service, removing and adding the widget again... still no go.
Heard back from them this afternoon. They say that is next on the "to do" list. (multiple weather locations).
Right now they are working on getting it to run on phones...

I sent them an email asking if all those widgest displayed were all available including the full screen widget?
Never received a reply! so i wouldn't take them to seriously
Maximum size for phones 4x4 widget, 4x7 (half screen) only for tablets
I was curious if anyone else is having issues with the CM9 RC2 build as far as their gallery goes?
I am running the RC2 on my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with CWM 5.8.4.3 running (non-touch).
This is the only real issue I have had since moving to the nightly builds, so here goes...
When I take a picture, I have my Google+ Instant Upload turned on. The picture gets uploaded. No problems.
When I go back to the Instant Upload Gallery and select the picture, I see the picture in proper aspect for about 2 seconds. The picture then resizes to a letterbox or squeezed version. This does not happen in my "camera" pictures. Only web albums...
I attach two pictures of screen shots. (Yes, my wife hit something in the car and popped a hole in my oil pan... but that is for another forum... )
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

This. I've used QuickPic since i've badly wanted to Organize all of my photos easily. If you're like me and dislike using replacement apps for things such as the Gallery, just get a launcher that allows you to change the Icon and Name of it so it doesn't bother you like it bothers me.

I have quickpic installed but it does not show web albums from G+ (Picasa) correct?
Thanks for responding.. no one seems to be having this issue but me... it also says I can't download the pics from Instant Upload to my phone so I can edit them...
Edit: I found an even better program called Just Pictures! It allows for Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, etc... as far as web albums! Looks like a really good alternative to Galley! YAY!!!
