Widget question - Xperia Arc General

Hi there,
I have a question, i have just got the arc today abd until now i think its a great phone.
But before i had the pleasure with this phone i had an desire hd and got kind of used to have my contacts in my phone book connected to there facebook profile or the friendsstream... Is there a way to have these features in this phone? Sorry for stupid questiin, but i am new to the anfroid business...

For facebook profiles you have to use Facebook application first, it'll ask you whether to sync with you're current contacts or not

go to contacts... Then choose the contact you want and edit it. On the edit screen press the option button, the one next to Home button, and an option will come up "join" click on it and choose other contacts you want to connect it to

So I'm confused as to what's different from this and my G1 with 1.6. I have synced my contacts and when I go to contacts from the home screen I see them all (with the little g next to them), but when I try to assign a ringtone to an individual contact as I did on my G1, it takes me to an empty contact list with no option to see my contacts. What's going on? Already getting tired of ToughWhiz getting in the way of my Android experience.
Niceee....of all the things I had trouble on it was this... I feel dumb lol

Doesn't work from google contacts. To assign ringtones to fiddler contacts I'm using Ringdriod. Anyone else has any solutions for google contacts?

Ringo Lite. It's a PITA to have to install a separate app but it works perfectly.
Awesome thanx

Facebook notifications problem

For a few days now every time i try to do a refresh on the notifications page in the facebook app. I get an error, something about a parse error.
I don't know why, since i haven't done anything different or added any new apps.
Any help?
Thanks

I have the same problem too. May be the problem is at Facebook server.
Same here, it fails to update since a few days back. This has happened before and that time it was due to changes of how FB works, not related to SE or android failure. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Facebook is fine here, connecting through the official (crappy) app.

:-(... read something on a swedish news app that Facebook has had some problems these last days, and that the fb team had not found the source of it yet. Hopefully all shall be able to update soon.

Perhaps they should remove the horrible Facebook app that's on the market and release one that actually works. Take a page from iPhone app.

Can you give a description of what's "horrible" about the app?
Aside from built in Chat and Places support, it's pretty close to the iPhone version in terms of features, and it works perfectly fine.
The facebook app on iPhone is better.

Same here, got the newer one from the market and it works great.
My friend was whining about his FB app too and I asked him if he updated it.
*He replied "but I have the latest version".
*I asked "did you manually DL the one from teh market and replace teh one on your phone?"
*He said "um, no... it did not say it needed an update so I never changed it"
*I explained the pre installed app bug and showed him the difference in the two apps. Problem solved!
oh okay good to know. Cuz I have the facebook app that came on the phone. I assumed (never ASS-u-me) it would be the same one in the market.
so i downloaded the new facebook app, and it looks very similar to the iPhone one, which is good. So I tried logging in and I keep getting a "login in error". And I checked the e-mail address and password 3 times.
Never mind it works now. Sorry.

Outlook calendar

Is it possible to accept/reject invites for meetings on the outlook calendar? In my calendar it just appears as a message which doesnt help ยก!
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I've found that Touchdown manages calendar settings much better than the native app. It lets you look at your calendar before you accept and on the accept response dialgo box you can enter a response text.
Additionally, Touchdown handles the "propose a new time" properly including seeing all of the other users in the meeting on a calendar aka Outlook.
It's a shame that the appearance of the Touchdown calendar is pretty ugly. If they were to make it look more like the native calendar they'd have a real winner.
Thanks I will try it out..have a great day...

If I'm not mistaken, GT-P1000 is the original 7" tab running Froyo. You should post your questions on Galaxy Tab forum. This forum is for 10.1 tab running HoneyComb, totally different beast.
Thanks for the hint....

Just ran into the same issue today. The problem was that I had uninstalled "Infinite View", which is used for displaying contact's details.

Is infinity view labeled with sony ericson things?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No, it's just a screen with the contact's details on one tab, and the contact's call log on another one. I'm not using the social networking stuff such as Facebook, so there may be more there that's not showing for me.
Don't freeze stuff if you don't know what it is.. it's a sure fire way to screw things up.

Pls Help!Contacts synchronization with Facebook

I have my Note from a week now and I love it,but my last phone was HTC Desire HD,and dare I say that HTC have better personalized their phones. For instance when you add a new contact it automatically suggests a fb contact to merge. This does not happen with the Note,when I deleted a contact and entered again I couldn't manage to merge them again and to put that person fb picture on his contact.
I know that there must be a way,and I am a person that has changed many phones but this is the first time that I thing that Samsung does not have very user friendly system compared to HTC.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Go to the contact and press 'join contact' and select the contact you want to join it to. Done.
