The Gmail app is not integrated with HTC's People app and I doubt if it will be as it is proprietary Google code and not part of android. If you want to see your Gmail show up, you should add it as an exchange/imap/pop account using the regular mail app. I have both the Gmail app as well as an imap account for my Gmail. That way, I can see my gmail under people and have the convenience of push email with the gmail app without drawing too much battery.

Facebook Sync link to facebook app?

Hey guys!
Does anyone know if there is a way for the facebook tab for a contact to bring up the facebook app instead of launching the mobile facebook website?
For clarification: bring up a facebook linked contact in sense and click to view their profile, a comment, or an update. m.facebook launches in the browser for me. I would much prefer the facebook app instead.
Thanks!

This points out yet another reason to freaking uninstall that facebook app. It doesn't DO much does it?

I like the app and this seems like HTC's fault or maybe Google's. You know how when you have multiple apps duplicating functionality you get to choose which app handles each request and/or set default. Maybe Google needs to add an action for facebook?

Also the notifications that the facebook app fires off link to the mobile website instead of opening the app? What the?

No, this fault lies 99.996% on the Facebook app developers.
It's a sorry excuse for an official Facebook application in every right, especially when a 3rd party dev bests it with a limited SDK (See Babbler for Android).

Duplicate Facebook Icons in Contacts App For Each Contact

Wondering if anyone else has noticed this when you go into a contact, there are two Facebook icons in the "Joined contacts" section of the contact info? I only have one Facebook account. I've installed the Facebook app but I've also added my Facebook account directly into the Social Hub app, so it shows in my accounts that I have a regular Facebook account and then a Social Hub for Facebook account. Could the Skyrocket be pulling my contact list separately from both of these "accounts" even though it's the same account?
On another note, when I've unjoined a contact who has multiple accounts I'll see one of the accounts is a green icon with a little white head in it, the account says Unknown. Anyone know what this is?

Yes...it is pulling the info from each.

Look around through the options and there is a setting where you can exclude one of them

[Q] People app and dialer contacts

Hello everyone,
Really loving ICS but have a small question(actually two): why did they choose to use the people app as the "default contacts" instead of the one that comes with the dialer?
To me it seems like it was a last minute decision, hence the people app does not go with the general color scheme.
If someone more knowledgeable could shed some light onto the problem I would greatly appreciate it.
Oh and is there a way to create a dialer contacts shortcut to use in stead of the people app?

Anyone????

I believe the dialer just uses an api from the people app. The people app is able to show google+ and twitter updates along with the contacts also it gives you the option wo display/hide contacts from several accounts (google, google+, twitter, last.fm, ...). I think they gave it a brighter look to highlight it more as a standalone app which can be updated without touching the core system.

Avoid or disable facebook "app" sign in

Hi guys,
I couldn't find this anywhere but if i missed it sorry for that.
You know how some games or apps uses facebook account to sign in if you want to link it? Now If I have the example game installed, when I click to facebook sign in, a popup window shows allowing me to enter facebook mail and password. Which is fine. I would really like to keep it like this, but if I install a real facebook app, and use the same game, instead of popup window, game opens real facebook app. Now question is, is there a way how I can force a game to still use a popup log in, rather than facebook app without me having to delete real facebook app. Else, to force a game to use Facebook Lite app for signing in rather than main facebook app. Am I making any sense?
To explain why I need this, is becasue I have multiple facebook accounts. And on my main account I have disabled gaming platform fully. For games, I have another account and I have loged that one on Facebook Lite app, because my model doesn't support multiple facebook apps. Facebook app itself does supports multiple accounts, but that is kinda wierd as If i switch the facebook account in game, it switches in app as well, and when I return my main acc in app, game switches as well. I don't want to be switcing accounts all the time, as it's not convenient. Other reason is if i have single account registered only in my main facebook app, it doesn't offer me an option to login with another account or logout tempoary of current without saving that account in the app. It always forces game to use that single account which is loged in on facebook app.
Thank you all brainers out there who don't mind speding time to be looking into this.
Cheers to all!
