It will tell u and all that u need do is once after it restrtd login from the pop up using facebook same id on app
and while logging allow permisson then it will ask to sync calender and gallery check whichever u like and then just ok after that u wont get that notifications
Hope this helps

or if you're rooted, you can just freeze SNS Login or uninstall it using Titanium backup to get rid of it once and for all

Ive got root and will delete it.
Thx

Timescape update problem

i'm having trouble with my timescape app and it's driving me nuts ~~ when i turn the phone on ~ it'll show the latest news ie facebook miscall whatever on my main screen, and it'll stay there forever. what i mean is it won't change/update to another one even though it's newer. example, someone changes their status on facebook. it'll show that on my homescreen. 1 day later it'll still show the same one, with the exact same time stamp like 5mins ago 1hr ago etc etc.. how do i get it to change? the only way i can get it to gurantee change is turn off and turn back on the phone again. it's driving me nuts

well if u have a task killer installed, then that is stopping the timescape from updating. jus add timescape as a exception to the task killer nd it'll work fine..
or just uninstall the task killer...
cheers
i'll give it a try thx
Hate to steal this thread but its appropriately titled for this inquiry as well. I just got my X10....finally, and I can't seem to get timescape to sync with my gmail?? I would assume this is possible. When I go into "set up services" only facebook and twitter are available options and when I go into "set up an email account" it says that I already have an account set up, which is my work email through hotmail that I do not want to sync with timescape. Any thoughts??

Unfortunately Gmail dose not comes for timescape, only emails setup through standard email client of X10 will display.
If you don't want mails that configured via so called standard email to display, simply in the timescape mode click settings and untick customize tiles and splines
I don't have a x10 yet, but I'm planning on buying.
This I don't really understand.
I have a gmail and a hotmailaccount, and I like to have both in Timescape.
That is not possible?
Can you explain to me what my options will be to set up both accounts on the x10?
Thx
you can get both email accounts on the phone but only ur hotmail account will show up on ur timescape which isn't really that big of a problem
Hi - You CAN have your gmail on timescape as well as any other mail accounts.. if you go into the standard mail program (NOT the Gmail one).. add you're Gmail account into there and it will start popping up in Timescape too... it'll have it's own icon too (little red envelope if I remember right).
Thx for both your answers!
Now I can get myself a x10, knowing that I'm doing the right thing!

[Q] sync is driving me nuts

the fist time i synced my facebook when taking my vibrant out of the box it worked fine, but i did a factory reset on my phone and now when i sync my facebook it only imports 192 people, (the same people everytime) i have around 600 contacts on fb and i dont know why it is doing this. i have tried everything in the world to get them to sync, i have removed samsung from facebook, did a hard reset and still the same 192 contacts. i have clicked the select contacts i wont to sync and it still gives me only the 192. someone please help before i throw my phone in the furnace at work. thanks alot in advance
Which facebook are u using ? Built-in or app from market ?
I noticed that they don't work together. I have enabled sync in built-in and disabled in app. Also there was a recent update to new version of facebook 1.3.1, maybe that fixed something......

Same here. It's really pissing me off!
dang it.. i just did a factory reset as well and its not able to pull all my fb contacts. I'm using the app and the newest out that was just released. will report back if I figure it out
Mine doesn't sync neither. But you can manually set your contacts to your facebook contacts. click on contact> Media> Link contact> Get friends then you can scroll to whoever you want to sync
Mine is fine, I did a factory reset also. Did you guys go to "Accounts and sync" and added your facebook account there?
The fix for this I'd that you have to delete the samsung application from the main facebook (under setting I believe) and twitter using your computer.
Just wait I few minutes and sync from your phone...that worked for me.

that didnt work for me... is it safe to assume that its facebook with the issues, not our phones?

no. It's probably Samsung's hacked-together TouchWiz that's causing the fail.
Could it be that you have your contacts app set to show only contacts with phone numbers? Try disabling that option and see if you have all of your FB contacts.
figured it out!
This was frustrating me too! But i figured it out:
Ok from contacts you press menu, then press the "get friends" button. Add your facebook account, or if it's already there select it. Now you can choose which individual facebook contacts you would like to add, or you can choose "select all"!

[Q] android.process.acore has stopped??

Whenever i try to sync my facebook account or go into my contacts i get the error "the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I get this everytime. What does this mean and how can i fix it? Thanks in advance!!!
if you removed the twlauncher that is your problem. the facebook under the intergraded contacts is tied into tw. I have a facebook under other accounts that I can never get to open so I just do with out linked contacts lol
Sent from my Samsung Fascinate using XDA App
lol yeah i put tw back on and all is well now
So, if you remove TWlauncher, does that mean you loose the ability to sync facebook contacts to google contacts?
yes via the integrated facebook contacts
Sent from my Samsung Fascinate using XDA App
This just started for me too, but I couldn't figure out what was causing it. How can I disable the Facebook syncing attempts that cause this? Is removing the Facebook sync account enough, or do I have to disable another apk as well?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
just uncheck contacts under the facebook account in settings or remove the sync account all together
Sent from my Samsung Fascinate using XDA App
Actually, scratch that. Ever since I got a replacement Fascinate, the integrated Facebook syncing refused to sync my Facebook contacts. I tried everything possible, but it wouldn't work. Since it wouldnt work anyway, I figured I'd just disable it along with TW, but I decided to enable the TW launcher again, and now I see it's syncing properly now. Go figure. Well, since it's working now, I guess I'll just leave TW enabled, since I want my Facebook contacts to sync.

If you go back to accounts and add your facebook account(via the add button at the bottom), it should sync the contacts as well. However, if you have manually added contacts, or are using google for contacts, you will have to link them with your facebook contacts.
I must be trying to link them wrong then cause im only linking contacts with other contacts. Can you give me detailed instruction on how to do this process
Sign out of the facebook app. (Assuming you downloaded it.) When you sign back in, and you see the tips page, do not click anything on the screen but click the back button on the phone and the sync settings show up.

Thanks I got the sync settings to come up. But it still did not sync them. When I first got the phone I recovered my contacts from google and it synced all my fb friends on my contacts which was way more contacts then what I had so I deleted all my contacts and recovered them again and now it wont sync them at all. Im running a unrooted atrix with webtop hdmi mod which launcher pro. Would that affect it. Also I tryed to pull up the social networking app for the phone and it wont even let ne log into facebook thank you

Brilliant, thank you.
sync facebook contacts to atrix
Menu>settings>account
1.add and log in to your facebook account
2.click the menu button on the account screen and click "picturesource"
(This will allow facebook to sync your friends facebook picture to there contact profile in your phonebook)
3.to make sure your contact has the right picture edit the contact by>removing the picture> submit the same name they have on facebook and> hit the menu button and link the contact to the matching facebook profile
4. Yes it is a long manuel process or you can try to use a app called
"Syncmypix" in the market

[Q] Android to WP7

Hi,
I have a HD2 running gauner's Desire HD ROM (magldr), and I want to try and windows 7 ROM but i cannot find any way to transfer my texts and contacts over.
Anyone find any ways to do this ?
Cheers
If they are Google contacts then that's easy and happens automatically when you sign into your Google account.
I am however in the same boat of trying to migrate my call history and text messages.

Hey, yeah i've got the contacts via google which is working great, now just for the messages, not so bothered about call history.
Just one other thing, i've synced with facebook, but I want to remove all my facebook-only contact from the people contact book, any way to do this?
Cheers

I ran into this same thing and I don't think you can avoid it other than NOT signing in to Facebook in the contacts section. there is a Facebook app in the Market if all you want is to be able to check Facebook on your phone.

In the settings, there is the people application settings menu. It will sync only existing Facebook contacts.
