I want to remove apps like peep, stocks, and news but can't figure out how to.
I cannot get stocks and news to stop syncing no matter what I try.

+1 on that
For a temporary fix I am using the intruder rom. I miss the sense UI but not being able to stop certain apps from syncing was killing my battery (and annoying).
Stocks, news, Peep (which I have never used), and friendstream (also never used) would still update constantly, even after setting all of these apps to manually update and turning sync off.

It became a problem about four or five days ago. When I try to launch the app, it "stopped unexpectedly". And the widget is always totally blank.

Is it facebook specifically? Because I hear that there are problems with HTC's facebook app, and all users are affected (including Evo, etc.)

I was just going to post about this! Apparently HTC phones are having a Facebook issue.

I did wonder about that and I've tried to get into the settings to get Facebook out of there but it crashes before I can get that far.
One of my friends who has that Facebook problem (I don't; as far as I can tell my Facebook still works) says that his FriendStream is fine.
So I don't know
My friendstream works fine with facebook, but everything else facebook related from htc doesn't.
There are lots of reports out there as well about facebook friendstream failing, too, but I only stumble across them when looking for fixes to my OTHER facebook sense-ui issues.
Goooooo HTC!
I emailed HTC and all they told me was how to add my Facebook account (even after I initially told them that I did). They also said to make sure that I have a work city listed in my Facebook profile. Why? I don't know. *shrug*
I had this problem and I fixed it by just deleting my profile and re laughing it to make sure the app was working then turned off my phone then turned it back on and then add the account back

Confirming that deleting and readding your account fixes the force close on Friend Stream
That never worked for me. I did a hard reset and it worked
Hello.
I've noticed recently that the Calendar application is using a lot of battery on my DHD, if I've not used my phone much since unplugging it, the Calendar claims to have used up to 50% of the battery. On normal usage it uses a similar amount as the display. I am running Leedroid 1.2 (did the same thing in 1.0) and have tried clearing the cache, unchecking the weather feature and removing the facebook calendar (I now have 1 gmail account calendar, 1 subscribed calendar and public holidays listed). I have done several restarts and it is always the same.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to resolve this? My next step would be to do a full wipe and reflash of the ROM but I would rather not get that far...
Thanks.
I have the same issue, had it on the normal OTA and now on leedroid too. I use multiple Google calendars and have Facebook and twitter sync running. It does seem to spend a lot of time synching.
Just looked at accounts and syncing and it does seem to be Google calendar that is constantly syncing.

In many different forums the same issue appears all the time. Many people resolved it by limiting their homescreen widgets that make use of calendar in some way. Sometimes even more than one make the calendar go berserk and chopchop ur power like a hungry chinese - a bowl of rice

I don't have a calendar widget. I do have the Facebook and twitter on my home screens (was about the time I started using these that I noticed it actually.)
Well it is still present after removing the Facebook and Twitter widgets (and after a restart for good measure). Maybe it is Launcher Pro?
Hey,
When I have checked background data and unchecked auto sync, k9 syncs every 30 min as it should. But htc widgets like friends stream and news do not sync although they are set to do this every hour.
Is there a workaround for this (except activating auto sync, cause obviously I wanna have this disabled)?
Thx dom

K9 doesn't use system polling for synching - it has its own mechanism. Things like the standard widgets for facebook and twitter etc. use auto-sync which is why they don't work.
Why are you trying to turn off auto-sync, yet still wanting things to sync?
I noticed that the widgets sync all the time and not as they supposed to do only once an hour. I don't care about the data send, but I think the constant syncing drains the battery.
I'm going to sync em manually now, no big deal. I'm not a big twitter/facebook junkie anyway.

First of all, this isn't a major issue, or may be due to T-Mobile or something, but my phone is 1+ minutes behind everywhere else, like train/bus times, TV, computers, etc..
It also means when I get a text message, then reply within a minute, it puts my reply before the text message...
Also, how the f**k do I stop Facebook syncing?
I have both Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense under "Accounts & Sync" and Facebook is fine, it just syncs contacts and works
Facebook for HTC Sense however, syncs both contacts and live feed. They DON'T sync at all, no matter how long you leave them, it just shows the syncing icon. I disabled them both, but when I restart my phone they're back again
Another issue is that sometimes the internet just won't load any pages sometimes. The bar just loads like 90% then stops and won't load anything until I restart my phone (again, this could be T-Mobile)
Any suggestions? I'm using the stock ROM (before OTA) with S-OFF
What the heck? I probably won't provide any useful information, but perhaps your settings aren't set to automatically detect the time?
I don't have any real solution for you but if you have s/off and you like sense why don't you try flashing virtouos rom or do a wipe and factory reset.

Thanks for the replies
It's definitely set up to use the network time. Not sure why it sets the time of my messages to 1 minute behind, but the texts I receive have the proper time (1 minute in front of my phone time)
bahmanxda, I don't really bother with custom ROMs. I've tried a few but don't see the point in them (I use the stock ROM but removed all the bloat and other rubbish from them, plus I don't want to overclock my CPU yet)
Maybe you could remove the "Facebook for HTC Sense" account altogether from "Accounts & Sync?"
I use the Facebook app though, and I also use the Facebook contacts sync, will removing it affect either of those?
Anybody else having trouble with facebook not syncing lately? I also notice that the feeds and updates widgets wont pull any facebook posts either and now wont update at all. I know the widget from launcherpro works so it must be isolated to something with facebook or the widget itself.
I was having the same problem after I did the froyo update and it wouldn't resolve itself so I made tmobile give me a warranty exchange to go back to eclair...any news on if it has been fixed yet?
I was able to "fix" this by removing the facebook and twitter accounts from accounts and sync in settings, re-booting and adding the accounts back in. I'm running Bionix V. Hope this helps.

Mine does this every so often too. So far, I just remove the widget from the home screen and reinstall it and it works.
Same problem here.
I didn't root still running the stock rom seems like the FROYO for galaxy S has been on major F*CK UP across the board. Sprint pulled its FROYO update for the Epic 4g can't wait to hear what goes wrong with the AT&T update.
Anybody running the stock rom have a resolution for the widgets and facebook/twitter sync issues tmobile customer care was no help.
