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...

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!

EDIT: After having no luck getting it to auto update like it is suposed to i'm thinking maybe if we can change the interval that it updates (default is 2hours) then it might kick start it into working?? Bit of a stretch I know but have nothing else to try! lol
How do you set the update interval for contacts linked with facebook?
When I look at a contacts facebook tab their status is always at least a day old!
Thanks!
Slide along to manila settings click on data services..
Click on facebook logo or line, not the icon on the right..
No option to increase download interval only to allow automatic downloads.
Yeah that is already on but clearly it's not updating every 2 hours or my contacts status' would not be over a day old!!
Definetly not updating as often as it should on my phone either. Can go a whole day without automatic updates of facebook...
Yeah I only got round to linking my contatcs to the FB profiles the other day and I may as well of not bothered!! lol
In fact it appears that there is no regularity to the updates, mine has now not updated since I manually did it on the 7th!!
Ok a few days on and I can confirm that it does not update at all unless I do it manually!
This seems to work fine on my phone. I haven't actually made sure it's up to date every two hours or not, but checking my contacts their status always seems to be within a few hours.

Yes i'm using Bandswitch it disconnects 3G Data if idle for 30 secs, this has not effected any of my other updates though like Twitter, Email, Weather, etc... it's just Facebook that does not update at all
Just found out why I think it is!!!
FB doesnt remember my login details, each time I open the app it asks me to login!
Like this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5353521#post5353521

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"

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.

As far as I know Twitter and FB do not notify you of anything?!

I actually prefer to use the email app. Problem is, the email app doesn't seem to download updates until I open it (even with it on ignore in Task MGR). Email app set to download every 10 mins. The Gmail app, however, seems to auto download updates.
Any seen or know of a solution?

The Gmail app supports push notifications, which means as soon as you get an email, you'll get it on your phone. But with the email app, it resorts to polling (checking for new messages every 10 minutes) so it refreshes only when you open it
Lucky you, but my gmail app doesn't do anything. I feel that its always off since I don't get any email notification on ie.
Makes sense. I just like the look of the email app better, but I guess u need to stick with gmail for the push ability.

Go to Settings in the Gmail app and make sure that Email Notifications is checked. That's the whole point of using Gmail compared to Hotmail/Yahoo.. (atleast for now)
It annoys me how you can't select multiples in th stock app. I use K9, it has colours (including led flash) for each account, push, and most importantly, multiple select.

What about in Settings/Data Sync - I think you need Google Sync, and then Google Mail Sync selected too.
settings ---> data synchronization ---> synchronize with Gmail
right, I forgot to check that back after the 100th times of rooting.

Hi, it's my first post here. I've got a brand new Desire HD, unlocked, and I've noticed something strange.
I think it's strange because on my previous device (a Desire) it acted different.
I've got two Facebook apps installed (by default): Facebook (for android) and Facebook for HTC Sense. The first is version 1.3.2, the latter is version 1.0. Now, on the old Desire the version 1.3.2 was installed from the market ON TOP of the Facebook for HTC Sense, so there was only one Facebook app.
I cannot unistall both of them, so it's somehow boring.
Anyone noticed that too? Is it normal for the Desire HD? (well, I don't think it's pretty normal, because the device sometimes asks me to link 2 equals Facebook, one on normal facebook and the other on facebook htc sense, contacts together )
Thanks for any opinion and advice.
I know exactly how you mean.
I've also tried to link my contacts to Facebook, but it says I have no contacts, yet Facebook is set up on my device. Confusing.
New HTC Sense sucks really!

I always set the device to use Facebook for HTC Sense to sync my contacts, then disable the official facebook app(only disable the contact sync).
Thats always worked for me, sometimes (on my hero) the contacts didn't sync immediately but they always did eventually.
Make sure you're logged into both, in settings>accounts and sync.
@ Meesayen: you shouldn't have two facebook icons, I only have facebook and friendstream. Try either uninstalling the official facebook and reinstalling, if not then a hard reset would most likely sort it..
i've got this problem too, although one of the first things i did when i turned the DHD on was to download the facebook app, not realising it was already on there. but thats not the thing thats bugging me the most. the biggest gripe i've got right now is getting notifications to pop up whenever i get a facebook notification. i only know someone has written on my wall, for example, when i open the FB app and it refreshes.

haha! i forgot about this. for some reason when i was using a blackberry my email notifications had been turned off on facebook. they come through fine now. still not ideal, but i can live with it.
another question i had - whenever i open up a notification through the facebook app, it always launches the page in a browser and not the app. is this just me? now and then i'll get to see someones wall in the app but 9 times out of 10 it launches in the browser.
Although I don't have my DHD yet I woulser if you can use bloo I currently use it and think its the best fb app but wonder if it will mess with sense fb

hi guys,
i set up both facebook apps (facebook for android and facebook for sense), same with twitter.
but my problem is, everytime my device is syncing with facebook/twitter, it updates my contact pictures with the one from facebook and if there is nothing, with the ones from twitter.
i can manually set to use the phone contact picture, but everything is gone after the next sync.
i think facebook/twitter for htc sense is causing this problem. is there anyway to stop that something is changing my contact pcitures?
is there a setting in the accounts & sync tab? couldnt find any
any ideas?
thanks a lot so far.
it looks like the problem is gone since i got my phone rooted...could it be the reason or just luck?
Hey all I'm new here...
Just wanted to point out some woes with the new OTA 2.3.4 update with the contacts. Although it seems the views have a few more options the bad part is they took away the option to flip the screen left or right to see social or history... that sucks but the worst part is... it seems that you can't link with social accounts anymore either!!!
Any insight on this... am I doing something wrong?
Use GO Contacts, it's just plain better.
your probably right... though 2.2.2 was fairly decent.
Just wanted to add... as I'm going through account and contact stuff, the ability to sync facebook or twitter pics with contacts is gone as well I know there are other ways (manually) but this was a nice feature... why would the take it out? What reason do we have now to add any of the social/pic stuff with motoblur? Again, Myspace, facebook, LastFm, twitter, Picasa, Photobucket, flicker, Linkedin... its all broken now, none of them sync with contacts now. (or is it fixed... was there issues with this before, did folks not like it?)
Note: If you long press any of these accounts in settings it states.... "To Fully integrate "account" into your mobile experience, click Add Account." What experience are they refering to? All I can see is that your widgets (which suck) will populate their feeds....
Update... I did find some settings for anyone looking.... if you edit a contact and press menu the option to join pops up.... so maybe its not a total loss also not as I used an app to sync FB pics to existing contacts (synced to google) not sure if you "join" if the pic syncs as well....
If they took out linking contacts period, IMO that would be a HUGE step forward.
My contacts got severely f*cked up because of that, and I'm still trying to fix that mess.
If I hadn't bought so many Apps under my current account, I just would have just created a new Google account already...

If you unlink your accounts, the contacts should go back to the way they were. Linking doesn't actually modify any account info.

Go into your contact, then menu->Options
Altough it is still possible to link the contacts, I prefer the older Contacts.
It was easy to see where did each info came from (small "f" or "t" logo near the contact data).
Will try to get used to the new interface.
Anthony, I agree with you. The option to flip right and left was very useful and I used it all the time to keep track of my communication with a contact. I was hugely disappointed to see that missing. I do not understand why they would remove that. I also liked the contact photo syncing. It was nice that most of my contacts had photos added automatically.
Has anyone else had issues with webtop working after the update? Via HDMI or any of the docks...

Just a small bug: birthday date is showed as an INTEGER (many times negative) and not more as a Date.
Example: "Birthday: -609994887"
I'm not sure if the wrong "import" of newer Contact App is about Facebook's birthday date or Google's Account, however something is wrong...

Be sure to be on a wifi network and ensure you can sync social apps. I would reboot the phone once all of that is checked and then see if it all comes down or not.
