I got my desire Z last week, it does not seem to show the facebook status of callers when they ring.
The current status is shown in Friendstream but not when they ring. Anyone else having this problem?

I didn't even know it was supposed to do this?
What phone did you come from? Maybe it was a specific feature of whatever phone you were last on?
I get the last tweet they did, but I can't remember if I ever saw a Facebook status there.

I came from a HD2 Windows Mobile, its a "feature" according to the HTC Desire Z video, it worked today on and off. Guessing its a "HTC feature" that does not always work so they keep it quiet.

I am sure this is a dumb question, but I am totally stumped. Anyone know what the orange color clock in the stock messaging app means? I have a few messaging threads going but a couple usually have the orange clock next to them. I cant figure out what that is suppose to signify!
Thanks!
it means that contact is linked to gmail/g-talk and they are logged in but have not ben on the phone for a while.
Ah Ha! Thanks, I knew it was going to be something obvious!

Google Talk contact is away (so they have been idle for a while). Green means they're available. An X means they're offline.
I'm noticing that the LED flashes only some of the time for things like Twitter and SMS. The notification bar has the update on it but the LED seems to not want to play ball.
Has anyone else experienced this or similar? I know the LED works because it shows when charging and when the battery was low it flashed. Specifically I use Touiteur and had the LED set to blue but even on the standard green it's hit and miss.

Mine doesn't flash when I get email, but seems to work for SMS or missed calls.
I was hoping someone would make a thread about this, I never got around to making one!
Mine flashes for everything which is annoying!!! I get a lot of emails so is constantly flashing! I've tried going into Settings -> Display -> Notifications and deselecting everything except Missed Calls and SMS/MMS but made no difference!
i'm so used to Magic 8 colors... shame DHD has only orange and green
also it somehow tends to turn it off after a while being on.
I've sent an email to HTC to ask about it since it's a big issue to me. Notification sounds feel similarly hit and miss so I'm suspecting some trigger is being missed, possibly due to the new Sense UI. I'll post any reply I get.

I've got two led's. One for the battery on the right of the speaker and one on the left behind the speaker. The left one is for notifications only n I must say I'm disappointed as its located being the speakers its not as visible as I would like it to be. Is there anyway to get the battery led to function as a notification led as its not covered so much more visible?
I've got a reply but nothing helpful. So far it seems they're willing to blame app compatibility. I've asked for information regarding any changes that have been made to the LED notification system on the Desire HD and now I wait for another reply.
I told them I had no such issues on two other Android phones and they seem to be implying that the apps are coded for specific phones when we all know apps are coded for an SDK version. To quote the part of the reply...
"All the functions/programs you mean are made for Nexus and G1/Dream most of the times, Desire and some other are similar enough for it to work. Cannot help you with third party software."
Pretty clear the guy doesn't have a clue about this so I'm hoping if I nag long enough he'll pass me on to someone with more knowledge.

I see two LEDs up top but charging uses the same LED as the notification system. The left one behind the grill. I haven't seen the second one light so it's probably the proximity sensor.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
i only see one led too (with two colors).
Dyonas tel HTC that even GMail (2.2 app) acts like that... and gmail.apk 2.2 aint made for g1!
Another really pointless reply from them.. in the initial contact I mentioned the camera being misaligned so that's what the first part is referring to. Here's the latest reply and below it is how I have just responded.
Dear <me>,
Since receiving your e-mail i have looked for any more known cases and was unsuccessful if you are concerned that this may cause issues i recommend that you take the device back to the retailer.
Regarding the LED,
We do not give developer support so i cannot help you with this.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number <not important>.
Sincerely,

Response to it from me..
Hi,
With regards to the LED notifications, I'm not asking for developer support or any support in fact. I'm simply trying to find out if HTC have changed the method for using them with the Desire HD. You said that programs are coded for specific phones and I'm sorry but that's not true. They are made for SDK versions, most going as far back as Android 1.6 for widest compatibility, so any changes in the programs affecting the LED notifications would show in ALL versions, not just the version shipping with the Desire HD.
This again points to either HTC changing something with the Desire HD or a programming bug with the Sense UI in some way. I realise this isn't an easy issue to look into but it is a very important one and while I appreciate you're trying your best, I will not let this issue drop until I get a more satisfactory answer.

To me this is a very big deal because if you leave the phone for a few minutes and aren't close enough to hear an audio notification the LED is what I rely on. Missing notifications like this I might expect from a custom ROM but I haven't touched the phone in any way like that. I didn't see your reply in time to mention the GMail issue and I only have my experience to go on which is Twitter updates not always firing. You should raise a ticked too, the more we get raising the issue the better the chance they'll look into it.
i stop sending tickets to HTC last year... they never fix anything.
I rather find a perm root and put CM onto it!
Their latest and seemingly final reply seems to have something that may point to an answer. Unfortunately I lack the knowledge to check if it is of any use. The guy suggested any changes would be in the Kernel and linked me to the source code area. Is anyone able to look into the source code and see if there are changes to the notification LED system for the DHD? It's pointless not useful to ask app developers to look into it until we have something concrete to point at as a cause.

I asked Cyanogen about this and he thinks the lights driver he wrote for the G2 may work.
Being a basic user I have no idea how to try that out without instructions so... I've done the fact finding, who's going to help with this part?
My email LED notification has not been working properly, sometimes yes but mostly no.
Got email mid morning today, sound and LED worked. Left it in this state for several hours still okay. Just got another sound notification for the same previous email, how does that work
Think this is yet another bug....
I've now had this happen with the GMAIL app so I'm bugging them some more.
Would there be any point in posting in the development section to ask for help using the G2 lights driver from Cyanogen?

I've also had GMail fail on LED notification and SMS! It seems to be random now. Coming from a WM6.5 defector I quietly smile to myself
I think I figured it out and if im right it's really stupid. I had two notifications earlier, one for Twitter and the other for e-mail (not gmail). The LED wasn't flashing for either. I opened Touiteur to view the updates thete which cleared that notification and straight away the LED began flashing for the e-mail alert.
Why one notification would disable the LED if it's already on I have no idea but the above has happened more than once now. There's an LED test on the phone which HTC had me test. It has other tests too for anyone curious.
Key this into the dialer.

I always sync my favorite contacts with Facebook but since sometimes my phone contacts don't have a picture that fits well on the contact avatar of the phone or they're not alone in the picture- I like to use a picture that I added myself on the phone. I've realized that everytime FB syncs with the phone my contacts picture automatically changes to the new picture on FB and I have to go back to the personal picture myself. Has anyone else experienced this same "bug" ? It never happened to me with Liberated Eclair

Suggestion: Since we have 2 kernel options for FR008, I would make a nandroid backup of your current ROM/kernel and then flash the other kernel and see if you still have the issue. If you didn't experience the issue on Liberated Eclair, then maybe Liberated Froyo with the HTC Hong Kong kernel may not have the issue. Just a thought?

I forgot to mention that I'm running FR008 with the HK kernel. What are you running? Have you had this problem before?
I don't think its a bug. It was also present on the stock A&T 2.1 rom that came with the phone.
I think HTC just made it so if you choose to sync fb contacts it will automatically select the newest pictures available. Sadly, I never found a way to bypass it (so I just switched to CM6).

I running the HK kernel, too, however, I don't allow FB to sync contacts because this is a company phone and I use the company's Exchange Server to store and sync my contacts.
For me it's an intermittent issue. For some contacts the override stays indefinitely, for some a few days, and for one person it reverts to the FB pic with every synch. I have no idea what logic HTC uses to determine which pic to show.

Really? I used 2.1 for like 3 months since I got my phone and I never dealed with this issue. Now on FR008 it's so annoying, some of my contacts switches pictures everyday and I have to constantly revert my phone contacts to the desired picture. Maybe it's not a bug and it's a function causing this, I just wish I knew which one

Back on toppic: This **** is annyoing
i don't think its a bug. facebook is syncing properly and pulling the appropriate information. if anything, i'd imagine the bug was with eclair for not pulling the picture.
if you don't like dealing with it, you can always switch back.

Did you even read the thread? I tell my phone specifically to use the picture I asigned to my contacts but it keeps on switching to the picture on FB.
yes, i did read the thread. no one seems to have any other information or solutions, so i'd say switch back or deal with it.
Just had a notification that new widgets are available, battery, call mom, coin flip, fake call, notes, quick record, sand timer, tasks, tip calculator, today in history and daily challenge.
A system update would also be nice the same time.
Anyone else have it?
They all been availible for over a week

Try installing it via HTC Likes - it worked for me there, but not from HTC Hub. Failing that, i'd upload the apk if someone knows where it downloads them to.
Worked for me too. Thanks mate
Whats the sense of releasing new widgets if they are screwed up :/ Notes and Tasks are messed :/
htc sence server wont work for me every time :\

Anybody noticed that Facebook push notification aren't working?
Noticed that...can't find any reaso why.
Should work with Android 2.2.X but it doesnt
Ah I'm glad it's not just me. Well I thought it was just the ROM I'm using but like you said all 2.2 devices should support it.
Since today i'm running RAFDROID HD 3.1 and there is no "push" setting in facebook available.
I think it's an Facebook bug because a friend of me have an Desire HD and there a no notifications, too.
Are there any solutions to get they working? I would love push notifications in facebook
There never was any push setting it jusr sort of happened try going back to version 1.5.0. Tell me if it works. The apk is attached for you.
I noticed that the notification aren't working when on mobile data, then a message appears saying that notification cannot be checked (connection reset by peer) or s.thing similar.
However, when on WiFi the notifications are loading.
Guess as well that it is a Facebook bug.

Ouch I don't have that problem. Are you sure you haven't turned off auto sync?
two weeks ago i was running a CoreDroid HD Rom and got the first time push notifications in facebook. i could swear i saw there an option called "push notifications" on/off...
maybe i was wrong.
since that time they never worked again on any rom i tried. (desire z / Raf / Coredroid...)
why we are so outstanding with android? it can't be so hard for the devs of the facebook app to get push working?!
Main thing is the applephone have it!!

Well maybe there was, I'm not sure. I have never seen it. Exactly the situation had them perfect until a week or so ago.
Lets face it the app could do with a facelift compared to the Apple one anyway.
