Fb sync problem on AOSP/MIUI/CM - HTC Sensation

Hi I am having serious problem getting facebook news feed, calender and other updates on aosp/miui/cm based rom. In the option it shows that Contacts is being synced only. No option for news feed. I tried everything, reflashed rom with full wipe, gapps installation, settings etc etc. No luck at all. Help me out folks. Thanks in advance

Have you checked in the navigation bar area to see if you can sync the apps from there? It's likely sync is turned off. The sync widget looks like two arrows in a circle on my rom, and if I long press it I can control which apps are synced. You probably have something similar in your rom. Make sure the setting is turned on in sync. Hope this helps! Best wishes

I checked everything. Literally raped the rom looking for that settings. Only thing I found in sync option is Contacts. On sense based rom sync has Calender, News feed and Contacts. On aosp/miui/cn based rom there is only contacts.

If you are using Facebook for android than sync options are in the app itself, but in the general settings you only see contact sync settings

Weather Not Refreshing...

Anyone having issues with the "Weather Information Not Available" on the weather clock widget? I'm no NOOB, but I can't find a setting to have the weather info refresh more often? Under settings it won't let me set it up? Manually refreshing is getting old. Thanks for any help.

Weather app> settings> sync schedule
I think you also have to set auto sync to yes in the accounts and sync settings

View shared Google calendars?

Anyone figure out how to do this? It's been really simple to view them on previous versions of Sense or any aosp roms, but it seems they overlooked the option on Sense 3.0 :-(
On another note, I'm probably the only person that uses this :-! (My gf and I both put our work schedules into Google Calendar and share the calendars with each other so we can easily glance at our schedules.. It's pretty useful)..
Is not in the usual menu. Tap the bar at the top of the calendar, it is a dropdown box to choose which calendars are displayed. Is that what you were looking for?

Im using this also and no problems. The shared calendar appeared after-hours first sync

Htc news widget

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.

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.

[FIXED] Caller Photo fixed!! 2 method's!

Hi,
Looks like it is fixed for me now, sense 3.5
Method 1
Sign in to FriendStream widget with facebook, it will ask you to sync, choose sync with all contacts.
Will take some time to refresh all, after you get clear contact pictures.
If you cant sign in to FriendStream widget separately from facebook app, heres Method 2 that confirmed to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20392011&postcount=22 - thanks to the_scotsman
Hope this help and will work for some one else!
You sense 3.5 Rom? If so been looking for one and haven't had any luck. So I've reverted back to sense 3
P.s this should be in Q & A

What I've done:
Just sign in to FriendStream, and sync all contacts. (and press somewhere to force sync in settings or on some contact there is an option to update)
All photos in contacts now clear for me NOT blurred or stretched !!
Hope this help and will work for some one else!

What, I don't get what you are trying to say....it would be nice if you could elaborate?
Old news but congrats.. Basically he's saying that on order to get clearer contact photos you need to sync your phone with the friendstream app. The regular Facebook app syncs the photos with really low quality.

I think you need to go into Accounts & Sync in the phone settings and add specifically 'Facebook for HTC Sense,' then it should work.

Ok I signed into facebook of a fresh Rom install using friend stream widget ..
Still no facebook for HTC sense in accounts and sync and still blurry contact pictured... What am I doing wrong?
I click on friend stream widget, it comes up with accounts to sign into, I choose Facebook, Facebook for android comes up, then I sign in and it sais authorize Facebook for HTC sense but that pops up and disappears without me authorizing anything...is the same happening for you or can you authorize it?

this just isnt working for me, could you please tell me what youve done step by step...theres no reason why it works for you and not for me i must be doing something wrong but i have no idea what
That would be the first sense 3.5 rom with explicit facebook for htc sense ... normally that fb for sense is integrated in fb app on 3.5

Same here...
"Facebook for Sense" on Sense 3.5 ROMs is integrated with Facebook, which is why you'll only see Facebook in the sync menu. Maybe an early Sense 3.5 ROM had Facebook for Sense added, but its not needed.
All my contact images are sharp when I sync using the Facebook app. I don't use Friendstream at all.

Well your a lucky Scotsman then, mine are blurry as hell, I can't use sense 3.5 roms because when someone calls me it makes me want to throw up.
To add on my post, surely there must be a way to unseperate them?

Now I see that this thread is about useless...too bad.
Have you tryed to remove stock facebook app? NOT friendstream!
And signin in to friendstream after?
After signing in to it, sense will ask yo to sync facebook with contacts, you choose sync all. And this will update contact pictures, atleast it did this for me an other peaple here
Let us know ho you go there!

I tried this. Uninstalled Facebook app. But when I click on Facebook account in Friend Stream settings, nothign happens. There's no icon next to it either, so I think it needs facebook installed for it to work?
EDIT: Yep, I installed Facebook app again, and now I can sign into FB using Friend Stream.

[SOLVED] Calendar reminders no longer appearing

I don't really think I have made any significant changes to my phone, but recently my calendar reminders have stopped popping up. I know everything is set up properly because appointments that I add on this phone still trigger alarms on both my tablet and my wife's iPhone.
I am running ViperXL 3.2.8 and elementalx 6.7 on hoot 2.14.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Does anyone know what app is actually responsible for the reminders?
P. S. I don't have the HTC calendar app installed because I prefer Pocket Informant, but that never seemed to be a problem in the past.

What ever app you use is responsible for it. The app you're using, is it paid or demo? Typically the calender app. It would have to sync with Google account
So if you don't have the calendar app you would need to have one that does it. I don't know about the app you're using but that would be the culprit.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Winner! Thank you!
Ran some tests and figured out that my calendar app only pops up reminders for its own built in calendar and I reinstalled the HTC app and all my back reminders popped up. Yay!
