[Q] Problems adding Facebook account on Verizon model

Hey, guys. I've noticed other phones having this problem, and it looks like the Xperia Play on Verizon is affected, too. When I go to Menu/Settings/Account & sync and try to add a Facebook account, it goes right back to the Account & sync page without adding Facebook. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no success. Is there some sort of workaround?
Thanks

looks to be a issue w/ our phone.. I posted the same thing in general.

I added my fb account without any problems..

you are not running stock GB on Verizon tho

Yeah, I suppose I should have posted what I'm running. Currently I'm running Android version 2.3.2, Build number 3.0.E.2.89
All stock. (On a side note, this is also preventing me from rooting at the moment.)

So is anyone else experiencing this issue?

so far that is the only build I have seen on our devices. (verizon)

Well, at least we now know it's a common issue.

Yep do you have problems with your front facing camera in video chat applications?

Well, the only one I've tried is Tango, but I read that the front camera not working is a known issue with that app and our phone. I haven't tried any others yet.

This is a remnant from the other builds I think. On other stock android devices, Facebook can still be a contact provider. Something is blocking it in the OS level from some tweak by SonyEricsson.
HOWEVER! You can get around it by using SonyEricsson's Life.Contacts as a synch partner to synch up FB contacts.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, this is an issue, I think, that has to do with Sony stripping the Xperia facebook-in-android experience parts out of the phone, but forgetting to re-enable the FB built-in synch that it was blocking.
So for right now, you have to use the Life.Contacts app to be able to synch FB. The problem with it though, is that the config is only available through Life.Contacts' widget. So it makes it a bit of a pain. It also only works with one account type at a time. So you can't use Life.Contacts to synch FB, Twitter, and other social networks at the same time to my knowledge.

Ok so... How do you actually get this to work? I downloaded and installed life.contacts and linked to my facebook, but my contact still don't show their pictures and info. Did I do something wrong?

Setting live wallpapers on lockscreen.

Running on a stock Skyrocket unrooted.
I'm looking for a way to set the lockscreen wallpaper to a live wallpaper. It appears that Samsung overlooked this when designing Touchwiz but does anyone know of a method for unrooted users?

no sorry, not on stock tw anyway. Go locker or widget locker may do it for u though. I recommend the latter

Hm, okay thanks. I'll try that out. The market still has the 15 minute refund period, right?

yup. On top of that most reputable apps will refund within a reasonable time if u contact dev

I'd never even thought about live wallpaper for the lockscreen.. Cool idea! I was trying to figure out how to do it with go locker, but... Any ideas?

Would it be possible to have a transparent lock screen image?... I think i recall seeing one before

my tpc install has one by default, very cool

Idk if it matters but i have an at&t note and am able to use live wallpapers on my lock screen. Its stock unrooted touchwiz.

Titanium hangs trying to restore factory test

I tried restoring app & data, just app. But it just shows that it's trying... But makes no progress? I went into App Processing Mode & changed from Direct to Indirect.. Still no luck?
It's not making me very confident, that in the event I have to restore my phone... Will it work?
It's Titanium Pro..
Any ideas?
Thanks

Probably because it's a system app. Try pushing the apk directly into system/app folder instead, and set correct permissions

No you wont, our devs will make handy work of that no problem. Look under settings, applications and make sure allow unknown sources is checked, especially if you freshly flashed a new rom. That's the only time TB has never restored for me

I guess you mean uninstall TB, & reinstall...? I've never done that before, because it's the pro version.. I would imagine that you don't have to pay for it again, but how does the Market (I have a hard time with saying Play Store... sounds like daycare), know that you've already bought it?
SuperSU was updated this morning.
Sent From my Two Tin Cans & String Device on The Wookie Network

The hard to say play store will remember that you paid for the pro version. Actually I think you have to install the free version first then install the pro key. I have four diff android devices, as soon as I pay for an app one one device it is available to all of my devices. Example root explorer, paid for on inspire 4g, available to all my current and future android devices.

I'll send you the bill, if it doesn't work
Edit; just thought of one thing... If I uninstall TB, that saved backup in TB will almost certainly be gone with the wind... So I doubt that I'd be able to restore the app in question.. BUT, on the other hand.. If TB fails now, it might be best to uninstall & reinstall fresh...? Uhm. THAT IS the question...
Sent From my Two Tin Cans & String Device on The Wookie Network

You wont loose your current backups if you uninstall TB, they are saved on a file on your SD card, you can delete the TB apk and still keep your backups, if your worried make a copy of the backups you already have first or upload them to drop box.
Just think, what happens when you make a TB backup and then wipe everything in CWM and flash a rom that doesn't include TB in the app drawer, you just simply redownload the app from the market and hit restore .
If I have a backup on my SD, I don't even redownload the pro key from market, just the free version, but when I run the TB app it automatically say "pro version" :thumbup:

[Q] Titanium Backup freezing Force Close?

TB is freezing on me.. The only update before I noticed was Lookout security. I Uninstalled TB twice & reinstalled... I deleted TB backup with esExplorer. I can make 3-4 selections before it freezes.. I deleted the market, because someone had posted to clear the market cache & that fixed the problem for them.. I was able to restore the market with TB, so it does work.. to a point.

Because its just reinstalling the same updated one that's crashing on you. You need an earlier version, apparently. An earlier version that worked for you before the update.

You're awake pretty early!
I'd agree 100%, except for one thing.... TB had been working without any problems after the previous update.. That is, up until a couple of days ago & the problem persists after the most recent update... yesterday I think it was.
What I've done now, was Uninstalled TB & TB license as someone else suggested, and REINSTALLED both... Rebooting between each change (my Windows training), along with the deleting of the market cache etc. The next thing I'll do is uninstall Lookout security, since that's when... As far as I can see, the problem with TB started.

Now if I could just figure out how to backup the widgets in GO Launcher EX. Folders and shortcuts get backed-up/restored, but never the widgets.
