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.)

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?
I was wondering why my version of Google search doesn't include Google now (with the cards). I have a nightly of cm10 installed with the 10-11 gapps.
My friend has a full version with cm10 on an HTC phone. Is it just the current development of cm10 on the s3 doesn't support the cards?
Thanks
It has google now. You must have messed up. Check the settings in the google search menu. You might not have opted in yet

I've actually noticed this as well. I can make a card come up if I search for like local weather but there's no place to set locations or favorites and cards never randomly come up for me

You have a nightly with gapps that are a month old? That could be your issue. If you're running a month old rom, then you most definitely will be missing features. I'd advise you to update your rom, and also you can update google search from the play store as well.
Google now updates through the play store. That isn't the problem

No, I think you misunderstood me. I am running the 11/7 nightly of CM10 with the 10/11 version of gapps. As far as i can tell the 10/11 gapps are the most current on goo.im unless I'm missing something.
Also apparently it asks you to opt in to the Google Now service when you first launch it, but I never remember getting that
If you tap on the microphone on the search widget you will be directed to the search app. In there hit the menu button to go to settings. Now turn on Google Now.
I get voice, search, and privacy settings. No obvious settings in any of them that would fix the issue

Open up Google Now -> Settings -> Google Now -> Make sure it's turned on (top right corner), and if it is, go into each category you need and make sure each is turned on as well.

I'm running VBRLJ1 leaked ROM and it appears I only have Google Search. I see nothing about Google Now anywhere. I've gone through all location settings, web history, etc.. it's all open for google to track me.
I also only get cards when I search for things. No option to "see more cards" or "see sample cards".
Basically I don't have Google Now and this surprises me. Anyone know of a fix for the leaked VBRLJ1 folks? I'm unrooted at the moment.
Thanks.
Same here on CM10. I'm beginning to think it's my university gapps account that is the problem. What kinds of Google accounts do you guys have?

If you just push the widget you won't get cards. Press the blue Google search app in the drawer. Then answer the 4 questions and opt in to it
Thanks for trying but that's the whole problem you never get the option to opt in and you never get the questions. I've tried full data wipes and the option just never comes up

Use titanium to uninstall the current Google search. Reboot. And install the one from the market

Guys,
I picked up my UK 32GB N8010 two days back and whilst using the default Internet app I noticed whenever I click on the Bookmarks Tag to the right of the screen it takes me to the Bookmarks page where no bookmarks are shown but more annoyingly it then freezes the browser.
Is this a common issue with the default browser?
Yes, I will be using another browser but it would be good to hear if there is an issue.
So many views yet not one reply.... Surely there must be one owner here who can provide me with an answer... pretty please :fingers-crossed:
Never had this problem. I have 4 samsung accounts in bookmarks but no freeze. Try to clear data for the app.

Try and play with your sync settings for your Google account, I'm guessing is trying to sync your bookmarks and can't.

Good call but believe me that was one of the first things I did.
It's clearly corruption of some kind. I was hoping to get to the bottom of this purely out of curiosity but it looks like I may just bite the bullet and factory reset, it's going to be easier in the end I'm beginning to think.
If it doesn't bothers you to much just live it like that until the jb update and do the reset just before updating.

The Jelly Bean update is another argument which I and many others as (you know) are having with Samsung.
I have the N8010 and JB is not out... period.
Try and get an answer from Samsung is like turning water into wine... I have never met so many politicians as can be found in Samsung, you simply can not get a definitive answer.. more like an answer within another question.
As such I can't see JB coming to the N8010 before Christmas (samfirmwares don't have anything yet and I don't want to go the N8000 route), so I'll reset and see how things go thanks.
So many choices but havent found "the one" yet. Which one do you find to be the best performer?

I recommend boat browser. Flash working, gestures, full screen.
I was using the stock one until recently.
Installed firefox and synced it with my desktop. Has a few quirks but overall its my main browser now.

Yes next is very good its my No2 atm, 1st is chrome because I need tabs on top for quick change.
After testing a number of browsers I have to say that the newer versions of Chrome is hard to beat. I love the "swipe between tabs" feature and that it syncs so good with the phone as well as the desktop and laptop.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
My choice is firefox.. really smooth surfing on note 10.1
have used chrome much since i use firefox on desktop as well..
It also depends what browser you use most on desktop
The new Chrome v28 works very well.
Chrome for sure. Logged in to the same account on my phone, and my other 3 computers. So where ever I go, or what ever device I'm on, I have all the same tabs open and ready to go. Works flowless.
I'm with Maxthon for years....

Thanks for all the ideas. I've tried most of them, each seems to have its pluses and minuses or one key feature that doesn't work for me. E.g. Chrome works on my banking site but the copy/paste function doesn't work. Firefox won't pinch/zoom for me. Thought Boat browser was going to be the one, thought it was working on my band site bill pay but at the very end it wouldn't submit the payments. Probably all of these problems are User Error.

It's a toss-up between Maxthon HD and the latest Chrome for me... Chrome was terrible originally (despite how bizarre that is), but recent versions have been pretty awesome. Maxthon has always been rock solid. My 2 cents.

chrome is the only browser you need, it syncs your bookmarks between desktop and tablet/mobiles so you never have to save them manually, all the other browsers on the android market don't even do that, i think firefox has this feature too, i have firefox installed for websites that use flash as chrome won't work with them properly.
I may have to try chrome. It has been awhile. Dolphin is good since it plays flash and supports multi window/dual view.

Another thing you may want to try is the stock browser with a different user agent. I've found some sites function better when using the iPad user agent (web designers favor Apple, big shock).
I'm not sure if this works on non-rooted ROMs, but the UAstring option appears under settings after typing about:debug in the stock browser's address bar.

I use the stock browser. Over the years I have tried various browsers, learned the gestures and so on. Each one was quirky. The stock browser just works. I shouldn't have to fiddle with user agents, or gestures or jumoing through rings of fire to read web pages.

it doesn't text wrap or run smoothly like it used to, and has massive errors at the top of the screen when using full screen mode.
it's forced into a different mode because of kitkat's forced chromium mode.. it's a real pale shade of what it was pre kitkat
It's a bit jumpy animation wise. But I'm not bothered as its a quarter of the size on ART of Chrome

Thanks for the best version of the ASOP browser I've run yet! All the other ones had problems of one sort or another, some minor, some major, including the one that comes with an installer and is available in the play store. Your freshly compiled version is working great on my N5 and my N10 (both running stock, rooted 4.2.2), and I'll check tonight to see if it also runs on my Galaxy Nexus (which is a desk clock & remote control these days, but is still running JB, not KK).
It's the fastest version I've tried, syncs bookmarks perfectly, keeps my history as it should, doesn't require me to delete/rename the "BrowserProviderProxy" files, allows me to change the default user agent (which is REALLY necessary on the N10), and just works.
:highfive:
One tiny thing you might want to "fix" if you compile it again, is the missing "Find On Page..." menu item. It's the item located between the "Share Page" menu item and the "Request desktop site" menu item. Apparently the "Find On Page..." menu item resource is actually not located in the Browser.apk, and once resided somewhere else in the System of older versions of Android. At some point (maybe when Chrome became the default Nexus browser and Google stopped including the standard Browser), this resource was removed from the System, but was never added to the ASOP Browser, and so in recent versions of Android a "random" string shows up in the menu instead of "Find On Page...". On my N5 and N10 it's "System", but I think it depends on what Android version is running. Totally cosmetic; the menu item does what it's supposed to, regardless of what it says.
bradputt: Yes, just push them to /system/app/
I did
adb devices
adb remount
adb push Browser.apk /system/etc/
adb push BookMarkSync.apk /system/etc/
the adb reboot
still no browser, so I push them to system/app with root exp and set permissions, reboot. Now the browser show up, but when I open it, it say automatic Google signin then just close. Try to reopen it...it just close.
Install the one I linked from the play store. Then update with these ones by just installing normally and it overwrite/updates it
