why is it functionless

i cant believe thatit doesn't auto update an add a little notice anywhere is it just me or is this £495 phone not pulling its weight, starting to think about selling this and getting an iPhone or going back to my 8900 have I set everything up correctly? why use is it if it doesn't notify you of anything
sigh......

It might just be me but that seems to be quite a vague statement...what doesn't it update that's upsetting you? I found this:
http://www.montecristoff.com/hd2tweak.htm
earlier today and its got a nice feature which will automatically update any apps that you've installed...how cool is that? (I do hate calling progs "apps"...its so apple dont you think?)

Wel on some hand I can agree .. But did you know you can tusrm notifications on and off, quite easy actually.
In sence env go to SETTINGS > Display Notifications sounds.
And there you should find it.
And sorry for the name of the menu. I got the dutch version over here.
And please explain more about the auto update. What exactly is it that you want to "autoupdate"
regards

why update automatically and update everything,,, instead of what you want to update

Martyn,
Can you come back with a more concise statement of what your problems are please? If its what I think it is there are tons of threads on here about that AND solutions which you can easily search for.
However let's start at the beginning and get our heads round what your problems are.
Cheers

i just want things like facebook and twitter to update automaticly without me having to get an email first...
on my bb 8900 i would have an icon at the top stating facebook 1,2,3 etc
this phone seems to only notify me of sms,email? no app like facebook or twitter interaction at all??? and my facebook is ment to update every 2 hours, (cant seem to change this )

Your signature bemoans the price the HD2 cost you - but you dislike it because it's default settings limit data connection use, persumably to cut costs?
To your issue, I don't know what facebook app was running on your blackberry but if it's that important to you why not add an rss feed with your facebook updates or open a gmail account that's mailed whenever something happens on facebook and setting it as an exchange "push mail" account?
And that's before the obvious suggestion of googling for an appropriate application O_O
I hope I'm not too reproachful. My point is that Windows Mobile is more like a desktop os than it is like whatever blackberry uses or osX mobile. Solving your "issues" shouldn't take more than half an hour's browsing in the HD2 Themes and Applications forum.

you don't have the twitter tab? and the intergrated facebook? not that its working in all aspects but still I like it..! The standalone facebook application works. The phone also notifies me for twitter and facebook messages..

go to settings in htc sense then choose the data option (says set up sync schdules or similar under the heading) then click on facebook or twitter and set up sync settings to automatic.
they will both now update at the intervals you set.
twitter is available in sense via it's tab and facebook inegrates itself with your contacts in the people tab in sense by pairing your contacts on your device with the contacts of matching names from your facebook. names have to be the same to auto integrate otherwise you have to manually select which contacts to add to which facebook friend.
hope this helps a bit

All the above, plus make sure you don't use any form of 'Auto-disconnect' program to turn your data connection off, or all 'pushed' updates like FB and Twitter will fail till the next time a polled update occurs.

I don't use that- have you got any settings for data disconnect active? If so, it might be worth disabling any auto-disconnect

As far as I know Twitter and FB do not notify you of anything?!
Only emails, SMS, Missed Calls, etc... get a notification.

Twitter has notifications. Facebook does not, unless you install the facebook instant messenger application from this site.

where is that app?

I was about to ask the exact same thing about Facebook, because mine doesnt either, and I have been playing with this phone for long enough to not have missed it!

Facebook App friends appear twice

Hi all,
I'm new here so please be gentle if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I have an HD2 that came bundled with the Facebook app. All was fine but I refreshed my friends list and now they all appear twice. I've tried uninstalling the app and then redownloading and installing etc but the problem remains.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tom.

Did you use some other software to import your facebook contacts at some point?

Hi
Nope, I'll I have done is logged in to the Facebook app and my friends appeared in there as per the full Facebook website. I hit 'refresh' on them a few days ago to see their updated status / profile pics and ever since then they've been listed twice.
Tom.

tried logging out and back in? Its also worth remembering that being logged in through the facebook program isn;t quite the same as being logged in through the 'me' contact card in your contact list.

I've tried logging out etc. It's so strange! Even the un / reinstall didn't fix it.

i take it when you log in via the pc all is fine? it isn't a facebook problem?

All fine via standard 'web based' Facebook.

In fact, it appears that the friends simply aren't getting updated. The profile pics change (sometimes) but I've added new friends via facebook on the web, and they just aren't appearing on the mobile app.
P.S. Perhaps I should be working and not playing on Facebook!!!

go too people all people, bottom tabs scroll to updates and events, (4th tab) menu update. stay on that screen (it says updating in the banner just down from top right) don't exit that screen till it has finished.

Hi
Sorry still no joy. Just to clarify, I am referring to friends listed under the Facebook app itself (middle icon on blue bar at top of facebook app).
Many thanks for your efforts so far.
Tom.

ahh well in that case I'd put it down to the vast number of issues since the made changes recently. my missus always gets a blank wall untill she has refreshed the page and flivked through all her tabs and she gets the "there has been an error" popup every few minutes.

HTC Peep updating sense problem!!

hello everyone
i've been using peep for a long time, and i always had problems but i could find the solution on the internet especially on xda.
but this time i couldnt.
i updated twitter lastnight everything was okay, but today when i updated, the home screen popped up saying "Launching HTC Sense..." and of course when i looked back at peep there were still last nights tweets and no new ones!
i tried everything, i restarted. i restarted sense. soft reset.
and i dont wanna hard reset!! now tell me is there anything else i can do?
i really like Peep despite of its problems, and i wanna keep using it!!!

yup i'm having the same issue - just tried it on mine to test what you said about it
as soon as i update my twitter it reboots sense.
i'm disabling twitter for now to see if it has any effect, also contacting htc support as htc peep is their app

same trouble here - when i disable twitter sense works fine.. anyone else seeing this ?
my symptoms were very different though.. sense doesnt re-load - it just freezes me out about 10 minutes after every soft reset.. once i disabled auto-retrive on peep, it worked smooth enough, but the moment i tried retrieving tweets after last night - it froze up again.. now i've tried deleting the twitter cache in my temp file - but i dont think thats helped..
any ideas ?

I've had my UK o2 HD2 since Nov last year and have had no problems with Peep until today, but now it just relaunches Sense everytime it tries to update (which I've set to every 15mins) - I presume many others are having the same problem, so hope a fix or solution is provided soon!
:-(

Same problem here, when I want to update Peep, it crashes manila.exe.
So far I know it's because Twitter made a change in their security system.
It makes a lot of users and developers confusing right now.
I hope this will be fixed soon!

I am having the same issue. I've had my phone since start of year. No issues (like this). Running latest offical O2 rom from HTC site.
Whenever I try to update twitter HTC Sense crashes and restarts. I originally was worried that it was caused by the update to fix the calaender (which I had just installed before checking my twitter at around 5pm GMT). But seeing that you are all having issues I digged a little deeper.
This is what seems to be true
The problem only appears to be when checking "All Tweets" (Which is the main screen) and not when checking "Mentions", "Direct Messages" or "Favorites". I can even update Twitter but it crashes when trying to retrieve the messages again.
So the problem is that a server (either Peeps or Twitter) is not working right. Our Peep clients can access the server but are causing a failed responce. This is causing Peep to crash and take Sense with it (As the apps are closely linked). I guess we need to sit tight and wait for either an update for HTC (If the way PEEP works is chanigng) or for the server to be fixed.

Dear Adam Turvey,
It may be just a temporary glitch, can you try a soft reset, by removing the battery while the device is on. Leave the battery out for 30 seconds then try again.

any ideas anyone HTC dont seem to know
i've copied them a link to this thread too
on a side note i'm also getting "Windows Live Hotmail is temporarily unavailable. Please try again." since this has been happening with peep

Well the issues seems to have gone away now. Just checked again and it's all working.
Guessing the above post about Twitter security update/issues may have been true and the people who run Peep needed to make changes.

Still same problem here!...
Someone discovered any solution...?

still have this issue - am trying few diff things
have just
logged out of my account on peep
disabled twitter tab in home tabs options
then delete the device/temp/twiteng folder and
rebooted phone
revoked access for htc peep from twitter connections via web
re enabled twitter in the home tabs
and logged in to twitter again
Code:
HTC Peep by HTC Corp.

Dowloading tweets......
CRASH sense.....
anyone else got any ideas ?

MoTweets & PocketTwit is working.. seems like a silent update from HTC Peep/HTC Manilla/Twitter which is wrong..
Looks like the connection to Twitter is working well.. at least, from my GF her Desire Peep is working..

Well mine is still working. What you might want to do is try the following
1) Sroll to Settings then pick Data Services.
2) Turn off twitter.
3) Go back to the Settings HTC Sense tab and click Menu at the bottom and All Settings.
4) Click the Today icon and then go to items. Turning off HTC Sense.
5) Load file explorer click "Menu" and turn on "Show All Files". If you haven't already.
6) Delete the TwittEng folder from c:\Temp.
7) Delete the Twitter folder from c:\Application Data\HTC.
8) Reboot device.
9) Turn HTC Sense back on via Start > Settings > Today etc.
10) Reconnect to Twitter using the log on via the Twitter HTC Sense tab (I did this via a wi-fi connection instead of the mobile network shouldn't make any difference but hey)
11) Then rechecked via mobile connection.
After this I've rebooted the phone and Peep is still working over Wi-Fi and GSM/HSDPA

Sadly that didn't worked, but thanks for giving us this option to try

To be honest I think what I did was just at the point an issue somewhere else was being resolved may on the server my account is on.
I'm guessing that the issue has been solved but the fix is having to work it's way through the servers/accounts. All I can say is hold on and wait it should be good by tomorrow.

I'm able to sign in, no problems, but I just cannot download my tweets.
I even can post tweets just as normal! but it crashes after posting is done.

Same issue here, Manila.exe instantly crashes when you update twitter.... Hope this gets resolved soon

Reading your post you didn't delete the Twitter folder in Application Data/HTC*
I found that when I first deleted it before clearing out the rest of the stuff when I was downloading the tweets that it would download just one of the user images again. There was also in the folder /Application Data/HTC/Twitter/TempPhoto was some sort of crap/corrupted image.
It might be worth just checking those. Like I said before I dod those steps and it works again. However is the problem is server based then it won't mean crap.
* Sorry got you mixed up with SilverRook. But again just check to make sure.

Solution for me: Log in to Twitter with Opera Mobile (twitter.com), and log out again. then Peep worked fine again.

[Q] Facebook - Sense Trouble. Cant logon

I cant log on to the damn thing. I know that I'm entering the correct user/pass, but I'm allways getting a "There was an error trying to log on. Try again?"
If I intentionally enter the wrong pass, Im getting the message that the entered pass is wrong.
So I know that my PDA has communication with Facebook, but is still unable to log on.
I'm using the latest 1.36 ROM.
Anyone else who has this problem?

I haven't had the problem but have you tried to login on Facebook via their site? Maybe they had a technical problem.

No problems logging on, in a web browser.
m.facebook.com allso works flawlessly on the PDA.
But Facebook integration in HTC Sense, still dossent work

I have same problem so i now always use website.

i had trouble with this but after the htc rom update its been workin fine, although i do have to logout before closing the programme otherwise when i next login it wont refresh or update and comments or status's i make

My ROM is also the very latest.
But it dossent work at all

I can log on to facebook, but it seems that updating stops as soon as I exit facebook app: When I start it again, the only way to get any refresh is to log off and then login to facebook again. Also, the phone shows that the new facebook version from marketplace is installed, but about dialog of the app shows 1.1.0.17 instead of version 1.2 that should be the newest one

After the Facebook crash in september no version at all is working. In the meantime I am using the facebook Instant messenger (fim). It is messenger and also good for accessing facebook. Try it, it works also on HD Mini. See my other posting:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=635580&highlight=facebook
An update from Microsoft will follow for sure but when???

[Q] Samsung Feeds & Updates hasn't been working since Saturday

Running DK28 on my Epic 4G, not rooted, haven't made any changes to facebook/twitter or anything on my phone. For some reason the Feeds & Updates widget hasn't updated in a couple days though, I tried to manually make it update and it says network not available (everything else works fine though).
Facebook and Twitter apps are both the latest version and the linked contacts in my contact list are still up to date.
Any ideas guys?

I read that Facebook had an update recently. I was on the Epic's stock version of Facebook; right after the update was offered in the market, I noticed the SNS sync process kept prompting me to log in. The prompt occurred with each sync interval because the sync failed to connect.
The constant prompts and lack of synchronization basically forced me upgrade to this latest update. So far things seem stable, but I'm keeping an eye on my battery consumption. The complaints on this update are lengthy.
Twitter: I dunno. I don't have an account for that service.
As for the actual Samsung widgets, Facebook could have changed something on the back-end that broke the widget for now. Who knows, but this wouldn't explain your Twitter account not displaying feeds.

At first I thought it was due to the recent facebook update, but it started before I downloaded it. I also had a newer version of the app than the stock one with the phone (I think I had 1.5.0, and the update was 1.5.1 - I was using whichever one was the second most recent and first added fb chat).
All other facebook related stuff is working fine apart from facebook contact photos only being shown on the contacts list and not on calls/messages. Twitter works fine too outside of the Samsung widget,

This happened to me this morning. I had to manually sync all my Google Contacts to their respective FB account. When I let FB do it automatically, it did not carry over to SMS.
Answer:
1. Go to settings > Accounts and sync
2. Delete all the accounts(Well, you don't have to delete twitter or google, but the facebook ones)
3. Reboot your phone. [Edit by nikon120: Used to say "Reset", but that is misleading.]
4. Go back into settings > Accounts and sync.
5. Add the facebook account(Under Integrated, not More).
6. To test if this worked, sync a contact to facebook(Long pressing their name, click "Link account", find the account and link them) Their picture should come up.

hm
the feeds & updates widget sync'd earlier today, but now it's busted again
EDIT: Also my contacts are just phone contacts, I don't have them on my google contact list (except for one). It's phone + fb, and one or two twitters.

It's up for a day, down for a day - now it's saying "no feeds to display."
Man... sod Samsung.
