[Q] Launcher Pro Gmail Widget busted - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have launcher pro and something is really weird.
It has been working fine for me for the most part however now something with the gmail widget is busted. I can add the gmail widget and it will have my inbox up from before it messed up.
Then when I go to LP Widget settings, all the widgets are there except the Gmail widget which is weird because I can add it to a home screen but I cannot find it in LP Widget settings.
The only thing I did since I noticed it was broken was flash faux kernel 2.4.3, the wifi gave me an error, so I restored to the original kernel.
Anyone know whats up? I have uninstalled and reinstalled launcher pro (plus), but that didn't fix it.
*edit* I got gmail to update however in LP widgets menu , I still can't find it. Widget only refreshes when I refresh Gmail App manually.
This seems to be an issue of Gmail not pushing...I cleared cache, still having issues.
*edit2* I re-synced everything in the settings and now it seems to be pushing well!
All is well again
Thanks

Facebook contact wont syc after J16OTA update?

Do any of you had problem syncing contacts from facebook after the OTA J16 update?
I had this problem too, FB wouldn't sync so I didn't have contact pictures for any of my contacts. I removed my account, added it again, forced resync a few times, rebooted the phone and nothing seemed to work. Then, like an hour later it synced. Seems to be working fine except I have one contact tha has the wrong profiles picture shown and I can't figure out how to fix that.
@deadpass, do you have facebook for android installed? I have that installed and have the widget for launcher pro as well.

I do, the widget is on one of my home pages and it updates fine. I just removed and readded by FB account and all the pictures sync again, but I still have the one contact that has the incorrect picture.
Fb and twitter sync is completely norked on my phone. I meed to get a netbook soon cause these smartphones are wholly unreliable, imo.

email notification not working reliably

Hi there.
I have an X10a from Rogers, 2.1(official upgrade), rooted and ever since running the 2.1 update my email notification has been inconsistant at best. With the stock email program it worked sporadically. Sometimes it doesn't even sync... I open the app, load new messages and they appear. Sometimes it makes a sound and puts the indicator in the status bar but no flashing led and sometimes everything works.
I tried K9 and that seemed to work but no led, so I loaded Maildroid and everything was fine for a while but now even that is sporadic.
I currently have my stock email notifications disabled, gmail sync enabled, maildroid sync enabled, wake up ever 15 mins in sleep to check email and still it only works sometimes.
I would prefer just using the stock email client as it seemed nicer on battery useage. Is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it easily? I almost tried it with Titanium backup but the warning that i might need to reflash scared me off doing it.
Any thoughts?
Same thing i noticed with mine , Email is really bad after the update , can know for sure when i get a new Email
using the gmail app and no problems at all
i have 3 other email accounts all forwarded to my gmail
This is two forums and no one has been able to suggest anything to fix it. I think i'll just go back to the stock email client and live with it... checking manually whenever I remember.
This would be my one major complaint about the 2.1 upgrade...aside from it I'm pleased with the rest.
I use shangmail.it works great.

I can try it. Does it light up the LED with the notification?
Re: my issue, i've noticed that it definitely seems that it's the syncing that's not happening moreso than the notification. I can send an email and until I open my client and load more messages, it won't appear where in the past it would pull down the email, notify me and then when I checked it was already there.
Okay...so I reflashed 2.1 on the phone last night. Immediately after the flash everthing was working fine. Then I rooted, installed Titanium backup and started to restore my apps and data... one at a time instead of the batch. At some point it stopped working again even though I didn't install 100% of the things I had on before.
Then briefly I uninstalled Super Security Standard and it started working again...but that didn't last.
I suppose it must be something i've installed, but it's really frustrating that the behavior isn't consistant. Aside from reflashing and then testing after restoring each app, I don't know what I can do.
It's definitely a syncing issue, not a notification issue. Installed a couple of free gmail notifiers and they don't work because the emails aren't sync'd until i go into the email client and manually load new mail.
What could be blocking the gmail sync?
Okay..some more searching has revealed a workaround. I cleared the cache for Gmail app and Gmail storage, rebooted and added the power control widget and cycled the sync button.
Now I can get email notifications when I cycle the sync...but only then. In the thread I found doing this once seemed to 'unstick' the sync, but that's not happening with me.
What sorts of things can 'hang' the sync? I'm still guessing some apps i've installed...

Friend stream problem.

Friend stream widget isn't updating facebook for me...
It updates twitter just fine and facebook on the friend stream app but on the widget on the homescreens it updates twitter but not facebook...I tried logging out of twitter and only left facebook on...and facebook doesnt update in the widget.
I've checked account & sync, facebook does sync and update and when i go onto the friend stream app, it's updated but in the widget it doesn't update...
I've tried clearing the cache. clearing data...removed account and relogined and even desperate enough to try a factory reset....I did all of it and facebook still doesn't update in the widget.
I would be grateful for any help.
Thank you.
I've got exactly the same problem... I tried all you can imagine : clear cache, clear data, remove all accounts linked to friendstream and re add it.
Nothing worked : the widget do not update facebook posts although the app is updated. I do not understand why it suddenly fails (worked perfectly during 4 months).
I'm very disappointed : how HTC can sell phones with so buggy apps ? Very frustrating to have a nice widget that can't be used...
The same here: FriendStream didn't update anymore. I guess this problem started the day I changed my Facebook password. I removed the Facebook for HTC Sense account and re-added it. No change.
Update: I've just removed HTC Sense account again, tried to log-in with a wrong facebook password (unsuccessfullly, of course). Then I entered the right password and everything seems to be just fine now!

Facebook contact sync

I am wanting to find out how to solve an issue i am having with facebook sync, I was using bionix 1.3 but decided to change to deodexed kb1. I will provide all info just to help. I have voodoo installed as well, also have used the 6 lockscreen mod by whitehawx. Thats it other than that just stock. With bionix, and other custom roms including cm7, I could select in the facebook app to sync with existing contacts, I like it for the pictures more than anything else. Now the option is gone and with accounts and settings it wants me to choose all or to go through and select each one, which I dont want to do, I have to many contacts for that. I looked though the bionix rom and it uses 3 apk's for account and sync and contacts, where in stock deodexed kb1 has four associated with it. Can someone shed some light on this? I'm not sure if apk is relevant or not. I also have copied build prop over from bionix rom just to try and see if that would make facebook app think i was on different rom and give me the option but that didnt work either. I'm lost Not even sure if im anywhere close to ballpark as to what is causing this. I have searched through the forums and all over the web and have seen same issues talked about but no solution, Im aware google disabled this for the nexus s due to facebook not using api correctly but I want it.
no one has any idea, or even experienced the same issue as me?
Maybe you need to find an older version of the facebook app and use it. Google may have only disabled the contact sync for the nexus s but facebook just recently updated it's program and might have turned them all off in preparation for some new system. Just a thought..
I just recently switched from bionix to kb1 as well..but I just sync all contacts and only display the ones with phone numbers.

Are you freezing any apps through Titanium Backup? If you are then defrost them all and then try and sync. I had that same issue and that worked for me.
Bionix 1.3.1 w/Overstock 1.4.1
Scarlet Leftovers Theme w/flip animations
im having a similar issue. Im running bionix 1.3.1 and during initial set up, i synced my facebook contacts with my google contacts, but after i was done all my facebook contacts disappeared completely. I only have my google contacts. I cant seem to re-add my facebook contacts to sync them together.
Do either one of you use Titanium Backup? Is there anything frozen like DRM,etc? If so unfreeze that should solve your issue. Its not the FB app cause I had this problem. Also go onto your contacts and make sure that the fb sync shows up. If not then try reflashing the rom.

I dont have anything frozen on titanium backup. I tried syncing my account again, fb account showed up in contacts, then disappeared again. I deleted the fb account to my contacts list and re-added it and it worked. So I guess to OP, delete/remove the account from your contact list and add it again, see if that works.
dont have anything frozen with titanium backup, only thing i use it for is to restore apps after flashes never system data or anything else

Accounts problem on 2.3.4

Hi everyone. I installed 2.3.4 on my Atrix and have run into my first real problem.
I was in my contacts and noticed that my Facebook contacts were not showing. I went into my accounts to add my facebook account and I am unable to. I press the facebook icon and nothing happens. It says that there is a facebook account linked with Motoblur, but I cant access any of the settings (I dont even know if thats possible).
Can anyone tell me if there is something that Im doing wrong or is this a known problem?
Did you do any freeze commands in titianium backup?
No, I have never used the freeze function in Titanium Backup.

Same thing has happened for me. I don't even have titanium backup installed on my phone.
If you have the official facebook app installed, there are two facebook icons in the accounts settings, tried clicking both?
The one put there by the official facebook app has never worked on any blurred phone that I've used, can only use the default facebook account that comes with motoblur. Happened on 2.2.x and 2.3.4 for me.

go back into the setup app and log into motoblur

I tried that but did not work.
I think Im going to try to do a factory reset and go through the motoblur setup again.
**Edit**
Well I did what I said and it worked. I think that there must have been data left on the phone before I installed GB and it was causing things to not work right. Everything seems fine now.
