Quick question, does anybody know how to stop Timescape updating facebook everytime i select it via the apps list or the tile on my main home page. Ive changed the update frequency in "Settings" for facebook to never but it still updates everytime i select Timescape.
Cheers
If there is an account setup it will update every time TimeScape is opened. The only way to stop it is to delete the account from TS (at least, as far as I have found)
Any ideas why it doesnt seem to update my hotmail account ive got set up as well each time i open it?

Sup y'all,
So I really enjoy having all my facebook contacts' profile pictures/birthdays sync with the contacts on my phone, but the problem I am having is that I have to go into each of my phone contacts and tell it which of my facebook friends to sync with. That kind of sucks, especially since I keep flashing my phone in order to try out new roms. Is it possible to have facebook automatically match up my phone contacts and facebook friends so I don't have to do it all manually? And if not, is it possible to somehow backup all the linked profiles so I don't have to redo it every time I flash a new rom? Lemme know thanks.
Every time I update my ROM.. during the first Facebook login, I'm given the option to sync ALL contacts that it matches with my Facebook Contacts..
(has to be pretty close on the name for it to match).
Try going to the ME contact entry, then sliding over to the Events tab (2nd from right, i believe), then make sure it's logged into facebook.
At the top, you might have a "Link Contacts" or something (going off of memory here). from that screen, it will show you the list of contacts that it has matched.
If you have names in your address book such as "Mom" .. that's not going to automatically match with Jane Doe on Facebook. Gonna have to update your local Contact name to Jane Doe, or the auto-match won't work.
Mine automatically matches about 20-30 of my contacts every time I re-ROM and login to facebook.
ah sick man thanks
I have a question regarding this every time i flash a new rom i do not get this option, i have to manually go in and link everyone to facebook. When i click my contact card I don't even get the option to look at history or status updates on the sliders... I'm logged in on both the sense tab and the facebook in the internet file in the start menu but have never been prompted to sync contacts. I am using Energy rom dec. 13th 29005. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem was bored figured i'd ask as it gets tiring manually liking all contacts. any response is appreciated.

Match the contact name with the facebook name and it will automatically match it when you sign into facebook. That easy!!
Possible to backup with Titanium?
Here is an idea.. You have to match them all up one or another once.. then SYNC your phone with your computer using Active Sync/Windows Mobile Device Center... It then SAVES all your facebook contacts in with your other contacts so when you hard reset or update your rom, when you sync it up, your contacts are all back (including their facebook contact info)... I hope that helps
After reading the forums and experimenting myself, I've come to the conclusion that there are a few possible improvements. And I'd like to maintain a thread here to keep track of them. I will keep this topic updated and will include links from the concerning topics.
It will take a little time to get this topic up to date... (please bear with me)

Hi, What does it mean exactly? I have a problem namely that the new E-mail doesn't appear in the Timescape, even if the mails have been downloaded manually (because the automatic E-mail sync also doesn't work many times). Also many times doesn't refresh the Timescape widget on the main screen.
Can I do anything with it?

I also configured an IMAP account for Gmail, those messages do show up in timescape. I hope they do full gmail and calendar integration for Timescape 2.1. :/
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!

Search on the market for fbsync.
Is an application.
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.

Hi All
I've got the samsung e-mail app set up for my exchange active sync account and everything is working as it should. However, I have noticed that if you open the samsung e-mail application from a shortcut it says refreshing at the bottom of the screen but no mail is actually transferred until you go to menu and select refresh. It then says refreshing at the bottom of the screen and your new mail is downloaded.
Has anyone else noticed this and is there any way to fix this so that the mail will start downloading when you open the app (or knows what the app is doing when it says 'refreshing' and it isn't actually doing anything?)
Many thanks
Spud
PS apologies for the typo in the message header!
Mine doesn't even load even if I refresh it manually and that damn circle keeps circling!!! (Not always, but many times)
Op, the refreshing on start up is synching up your screen view with the little mail database on the phone (that is in turn updated by android auto sync process if auto sync is enabled).
The refresh in the menu is actually going to servers to grab new mail.
