[Q] Removing Flickr Sync

I thought i'd try to see what syncing flickr does. It does nothing great, but now how can I remove this sync?
There is no option to remove, whereas everything else that is synced liked google or facebook allows me to remove the account.
Thanks.

That would've been my best advice if you hadn't already tried. I don't have a Flickr account so I wouldn't be able to replicate the issue.

The funny thing is that you don't even need an account to sync. Go into the sync section, select flickr, and you can put in whatever name you want.

Hmm alright then. I'll check it out later and see if mine does this as well. You just want to be able to delete it because it isn't doing anything right? It's not actually harming your device?

Not an answer, but I just email pics to my flickr account. Best option in my opinion.

Correct. It is not harming my device, but simply adding another line item to the list of services to sync. I would just like it to not be there anymore since I don't want to use it.

Also in my contacts group area I now get a "unknown" group from flickr that I also cannot remove because of the sync.

Had the same exact problem. Ended up doing a factory reset to get rid of it. What a PITA!

Makes sense. Finally off work so I will be able to play with it. Sounds like you all have the same deal going on. Maybe a software update will add the ability to delete since a factory reset is a drastic step.

Yea, I ran into a few issues which required a factory reset. Such simple things to code for and left missing =/

Ran into the same issue. Didn't use my phone, used someone else's that has a Flickr account.
Looks like you're going to have to wait for a software update or a dev to figure out how to solve this. Sorry I couldn't help ya out

i am also stuck with this

Having the same problem myself; guess nobody's found an answer to it yet?

Xoom effecting phone

Since I got my xoom and have been using it, my xoom syncs well with my google accounts, but my DROIDX no longer syncs up on the push schedule I have set. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or if its local to me. Thanks.

No problems here.

Just be honest with us now...the xoom is affecting your phone, isn't it?
Also no, everything has been syncing perfectly for me.

google voice

i installed google voice...integrated it with my sprint phone number...how can i temove it? id rather use vvm again...thanks

With the standard google voice service you could do something like *38 to disable google voicemail.
However, this is not an option if you enabled sprint integration. You would first have to disable the sprint integration and then you'll have the option to remove google voicemail.
All this would have to be done from http://voice.google.com of course.

thanks for the reply...problem is..i deleted my gmail acct thinking it would get rid of google voice...any other way to do it?

I think that if you just removed it you "might" be able to re-enable it again.

another question, since i deleted my google acct, when i tried to redownload root explorer from the market, its asking me to buy it again (purchased a while back)...

Not a good move my friend.
You can fill out a form and possibly get your account reactivated. Hopefully you deleted the account only recently. Otherwise you may have to talk with sprint tech support and there's only so much they can do.
Anyways, check out the link below:

Look near the top for the link to the form for deleted accounts and select "No" for the first question.
Let us know how it goes.

[Q] Facebook Contacts??

Is it just me or are facebook contacts not working? As in they won't sync with the people app on my phone. It did not work for me in a stock rom or the euroskank rom and i was just wondering how to fix it if there is a possible way. Like is this a nexus thing or something, idk any input would be appreciated!:cyclops:

Does not work for me either with my N4 or N7. Easy way around this is to use haxsync.

From your homepage on your Nexus. Go to settings> accounts > facebook > contacts sync. I think that should work

or use HaxSync.

i just tried haxsync and it didnt work, even after a manual resync and a reboot. this is gunna bother me a lot.

Facebook does not use the proper way Google wants for contact syncs, so that's why it doesn't work on pure Android OS.
Google it.

HaxSync works perfectly for me on my N4. Perhaps there is something wrong with your set up that is preventing HaxSync from working for you?

The fix is for Facebook to fix their Contact sync. Or use 3rd party programs.
Facebook thinks you don't own your contacts. If someone removes you as a friend Facebook things that contact info should dissappear from your phone. That's not right and that's not what Google allows.

Did you also download the haxsync jelly bean workaround? Haxsync is working just fine on both my nexus devices.

I did and it didnt work but i had a euro skank rom so maybe thats why it wasnt working. so i decided to go back to stock and i accidentally formatted the sd card and bricked my phone. scariest moment of my life haha, thank god for wug's nexus root toolkit. Now im back to stock, unrooted and locked. i'm gunna attempt haxsync tomorrow since i am done ****ing with my phone after bricking it!

That's the way I did it, and it worked for me... Stock rooted 4.2.1
The profile pictures sucked, though... I had haxsync, but found that Contact Sync for Facebook does a far better job getting statuses, bdays, and most important, those nice looking, hi res profile pics

Sync Problems

Anyone have errors while syncing with your Google account? I know its not my phone because I clean flashed a ROM twice and both couldn't connect. My WiFi is fine BTW. Do you think it could be Google prepping for the event for play services today

Across the board issue, they're working on it. Whether or not it relates to the press conference in 30 odd minutes remains to be seen.

@google
You're not really instilling a lot of confidence in me here, Doc.
Edit: Sync is working for me, now.

Same sh*t here. I first noticed when my pictures aren't backing up and that was 1 weak ago. Firstly i think it was battery-gurus fault, but i guess it's not.
It really bothers me that can't auto backup photos!
