[Q] Yahoo login failure

For the past month, I periodically get an error message - "Yahoo login failure"
This only happens on the T-Mobile network, not when I am on wi-fi.
Its not constant but happens often.
I'm running the stock Jelly Bean upgrade.
The error is in the stock Android email client version of Yahoo, not Yahoo's separate app.
Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on the cure?

Lot of people are reporting the same issue. Apparently Yahoo has disabled access via 3rd party mail apps to promote their own mail client. They deny connections coming from mobile internet ISPs.

Thanks for clarifying that G. Its been driving me nuts. There's no way I'm adding a new app to my system, just to perform the work of built in email apps.
Especially with all the hassles users are reporting. I use Yahoo email a lot, but can easily switch over to Gmail in a heartbeat. Maybe I'll set Gmail to check
my yahoo email. Has anyone done this? Is this a decent work around.
Yahoo, if you are reading this, you are going to lose not gain users. There are too many better options.
You are becoming like "brain freeze" Nobody wants you.

Well I seem to be able to use the built in mail client for Yahoo if I am on wifi. its only when I am using the T-Mobile network that I cannot log in to Yahoo.

Change the APN. It worked for me.

[Q] My phone contacts cannot be visible to whatsapp

Dear all,
I use google account to input my contacts. Now, when I input a contact to my android phone. The contact does not show in whatsapp. I am sure the user is having whatsapp installed. How can I make my contacts visible in whatsapp.
Thanks.

Go to Whatsapp settings>contacts>tick show all contacts.. if the problem persists then try syncing your contacts again with whatsapp servers by going to phone settings>accounts& syn>tap whatsapp account then sync contacts... it will solve your problem...Click Thanks if i helped you.

Hi all , for days now im trying to fix this problem , i tried almost everything but nothing works.
Can't see my contact list on whatsapp , viber , line etc , it just doesn't want to sync. The apps are working fine but i can't see any contacts , i only see the number if someone msges or calls me , and even if i add it manually to my contact list nothing happens.
I imported my contacts from my SIM , synced it with the google account , whatsapp account , everything is up to date.
It might be a ROM problem (can't ask in the development sections need 10 posts )
Im on cm-10.2-20140104-Sultan-pyramid.zip (with ION) (HTC sensation XE)
Last ROM that worked: cm-10.2-20131117-Sultan-pyramid.zip (no ION)
It seems no one has the problem cause no one is complaining about it.
Is there a possible fix? Or it's just the ROM that is not compatible , but why is no one reporting the problem?
(Google couldn't help me, i hope XDA can! )
Thank you very much

Suggestions are welcomed, thanks

I guess i gonna have to try my luck elsewhere , thank you anyways

You can only share your contacts in whatsapp!

[Q] Gmail Downloading Attachment Problems

Hey Guys,
I have the latest gmail app on my nexus 4, running Android 4.4.3 KitKat. I am unable to download any attachments through the app, and it is beginning to bother me. I have had this issue over the past gmail app versions, and from 4.4.2 KitKat also. Pictures say they can't load, and any other files fail to download, and retrying doesn't help. A workaround that I can use now is saving everything i need to Google drive from within the gmail app, and accessing them from another app, but this isn't a permanent solution. I have tried wiping gmail cache, gmail data, and completely uninstalling gmail and reinstalling it from the play store after a reboot, all to no avail. None of the solutions I have found work. If you guys Know how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have the same problem!!?? it is very annoying please anybodies have a solution? I cant't open any attachment via gmail app always I use save to drive to see any attachment via my mobile device.

Hey,
I never solved the issue and from Browsing around it seems it happens to some people and not to others. I just use the drive workaround now, because I have nothing else left to try.

Hi
Yeah the same as me, I feel tired of finding a solution for this problem. it is very wired that Google didn't mention this problem or solving it by newest version of gmail app because I found many threat talking about the same issue without a solution. many of member say to switch to K9 app instead of gmail app but the problem that in the k9 there are no categories like gmail ( Primary, Promotion, Social, Forums) I used them a lot because I don't like to get a notification when a new email come to one of these categories except Primary. these feature doesn't exist in another email app like K9.

Whatsapp problems.

Hi, I have problems with whatsapp.
Often I lost my contacts and I need to sincronize it every time.
Any one have the same issue?

Having the same problem… it happens once every 2 days.
Anybody might have a solution?
Thanks

My p8 max was stolen, now I have another p8max, a new one, and I have the same problem.
Maybe it`s the huawei app that controls the application consumption;nI try to configure it, but the problem persisted.

i managed to solve the problem by doing a factory reset. then restoring

I have the same problem. I have to update my contacts sometimes. The App is protected and all permissions allowed.

I think it is the stock messaging app that does that if you use the third party messaging app you won't have that issue

Sorry, I don't understanding.
Whatapp is not a native app.
What do you mean?

I try this before with no luck.
I deleted, and installed again, and nothing.
It seam's that today I solved the problem by updating the app from the huawei market place.
Today I don't need to synchronize my contacts.
I will say you something on a few days.

I was having the same issue then I noticed when I received a text message my WhatsApp contacts would hide. I installed Google Messenger as default messaging app and it fixed the WhatsApp problem. I know its wierd but thats true.

Perfect two ways to fix the problem.

Just install true contacts from play store. Fix the WhatsApp contact issue.

Basically the stock contacts app is the one that cause this issue... so solution is :
- install any other contacts app (I'm using Contacts+ app)
- set the default calling or sms to that 3rd party app
Voila.. problem solved... at least for me..

Sorry Grillote, I have both updated WhatsApp from the Huawei App Store and installed Google Messenger, but the problem persists.
I'll try to install a third party contacts App, as some fellows have suggested.

[APP][MOD] Messenger Old Chat Heads for Android 11+

With Android 11 came the bubble functionality, which displaced the chat head mechanism in Messenger. Unfortunately bubbles are very buggy - for example on OnePlus phones they are responsible for freezing the whole phone.
That's why I've created a MOD for Messenger which brings back the old chat heads.
Install guide
Uninstall all Facebook apps (Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, Facebook Business Suite etc).
Install the apps from this post (the ones you are using)
Enjoy!
(If you use Facebook apps that are not attached to this post, let me know, I'll resign apks and add them)
--------------------------------------------
DEPRACATED 08.08.2022​Messenger brought back old chat heads to their official application, this mod is no needed anymore
You can uninstall modded apks and install official ones from Google Play.
If you encounter any problems with official apps (e.g. crashing when trying to open an app). You probably needs to clear dalvik cache.
UPDATE 06.01.2022
DOWNLOAD: AndroidFileHost
New versions:
- Messenger 342.1.0.14.119
- Facebook 349.0.0.0.122 alpha
Phone calls in Messenger should be fixed in this version
UPDATE 20.10.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 335.0.0.17.75
- Facebook 341.0.0.2.73
Download here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-for-android-11.4300779/page-5#post-85806197
Please give me feedback, if everything is all right I will replace files in this post.
UPDATE 7.09.2021
New versions:
- Messenger 329.0.0.10.118
- Facebook 336.0.0.0.85 alpha (I had troubles with decompiling standard/beta versions)
UPDATE 27.07.2021
New versions - facebook_330.0.0.0.102.apk and messenger_324.0.0.0.62.apk.
Fixed:
- connection Facebook <=> Messenger (sharing videos, opening Messenger from Facebook)
- (highly possible) Facebook not refreshing wall
Let me know if Facebook Lite or Business Manager is needed to be updated as well

So the version of FB in my phone is showing as a system app. I can't uninstall. Attaching pics. Can u tell me how to uninstall plz? It shows"installed" but I can't uninstall, if I go thru the play Store, it gives the "uninstall updates to this system app" only option. I have it disabled because I don't trust it *note NO PERMISSIONS REQUIRED. Yeah well that's too fishy. Plus I'm locked out of FB right now cause i have 2 factor on & when I get the code & enter it I get an error msg invalid code. I left FB services enabled so I can continue using IG. I really miss using Messenger, if u have any suggestions I'd much appreciate.

Do we have to use the Facebook that you provide or can we use the official one?

Use the official one if you can! Resigned version is helpful if you cannot install Messenger due to signing conflict.

Thank you so much for this! Gone are the days of suffering through awful chat bubbles.
I have a weird bug on Facebook though. Posts aren't updating so I see the same posts even after force stopping the app and clearing the cache. This only happens to posts under "Home", not "Recent". Is there a fix for this?

you need to select the copy and paste link in the conversation. this option does not work because the system does not detect this application as official Messenger
