Photo upload for Facebook not working!

Hi all,
I have a Tmobile HTC HD2. I have the option of uploading a photo to my facebook direct from my photo gallery. When I try to upload a photo it connected and then just says waiting for a while before it gets cancelled. I have sync'd my facebook fine as I can retreive status updates, friends' photos etc.
Even the ****ty wm Facebook app doesn't let me upload. I haven't tried videos yet but guess I can give that a shot.
Does anyone have the same problem and does anyone know how to solve this?

I haven't had this problem exactly but I do know that some options on BsB Tweaks caused mine to not display the facebook albums, I think it was the performance tweaks. This may not be the same problem though.
Do you have BsB installed?

Nope, I don't even know what BsB is?! I'm new to all of this. I have had a HTC before but didn't go crazy with it. With this phone however, you have to go crazy with it or not poibt buying it!
Are you from UK? no one seems to be complaining about this so might just be something up with my device.

CaptJager vanilla rom ?

Does anyone have the new 1.6.2 version installed ?
Says it comes with handScent SMS and k9 mail.....but what I want to know is, does it also have the stock android SMS and mail apps also ? In case I didn't want to Use a third party app.

Actually.. I tried the both unrevolved and the captjager (senseless) roms, while they don't have the sense ui, they still have all of htc apps. So its kinda of pointless IMHO.. I can disable the senseui with the HTC build.
If you want pure vanilla the Cyanogenmod is the only one that I know of. I am running this one and it has its own bugs unfortunately. But it is really fast I must say. The biggest bug that I notice is some screen tearing.

I'm also currently running the CM test ROM. While I love the speed, and my battery was amazing on day 1 (only light usage, but i only drained 15-20% all day yesterday on my 1500mah battery)....I want something with a few less bugs for now. Thinking of running one of these other ROMS until the full vanilla (hopefully FroYo) gets a little better.

Handscent uses the stock SMS app to send MMS so it would have to have the stock SMS app

yes it does .

why does facebook have sync problems( i.e with contacts)

I think its because its still based on the HTC sense rom witch syncs facebook with friendstreem.apk, not the android facebook app. If you go to options in the android facebook app the contact sync options arent there. If you push the friendstreem.apk (you can leave the widget off) back onto the phone it should sync facebook again.

I installed this rom and thought it was okay then i flashed the non-oc undervolt kernel (w/o n wifi) and my phone hasent been better. Surprisingly it made a huge difference. Im still using jagers vanilla rom of course

VillainROM 13 - Issue with Facebook for HTC Sense

Hi! My HTC Desire is broke so I had to use my Hero again. I decided to root it, and installed VillainROM 13. It works great, and is much faster than stock.
I only have one small problem with Facebook for HTC Sense. It works as expected when it comes to pulling information like birthdays and status updates from Facebook to the contacts I have linked with Facebook, but I can't get it to show the profile pictures. For example, if I add a new contact (test), and press up in the right corner to link it and then choose Facebook, my list of Facebook friends appears, but not their pictures! My GF used my Hero before, and it worked fine with stock ROM. It also worked fine with my Desire.
Is this a known bug, or something that is just affecting me? If it's only me, should I try to flash the ROM again?

Facebook-htc integration likely to blame - their integration is pretty poor to be honest

Seems unlikely. It worked well on stock ROM.

I had this issue when I was on stock 2.1, if u check the HTC sense Facebook page its a very common problem. It started working again of its own accord after a few weeks, during which time I contacted HTC who blamed Facebook, I contacted Facebook who blamed HTC
Also, whenever it has worked status and event updates are fine buy contact pics have never updated themselves for me rregardless of what Rom I've been on, they do on my gf's wildfire tho :/
Also if you changed you Facebook settings to use only secure login your phone will have none of it.
I'm on v13 n bar the pics its working for me (@the mo )

What would your dream ROM have in it?

What I'd like to see a dev do is take the android source and one of the kernels (ScaryKernel stable preferably) and develop a ROM from the ground up.
Call waiting does not work properly in CM7 or another AOSP based ROM I tried.
GPS has problems fixing in that ROM as well. I believe Sense based ROM users don't have this problem.
What would be really cool is having a nice 2.3.5 ROM with ScaryStable kernel, Android 2.3.5, some, not all of the tweaks from CM7, apps included that are actually useful such as antutu benchmark, kernel manager, rom manager, super user, terminal emulator, speedtest.net, wifi analyzer, gps status, fasterfix stuff like that, HTC GPS drivers, and being able to update profile, and prl and being able to get to the ##code# menus from the dialer (basically need the HTC dialer for this I'm guessing which would also fix call waiting). That would be like the ultimate ROM in my opinion.
Thoughts? And yes, I'm actually thinking about taking this on as my own project if I have to even though I can't program to save my life.

What's a matter with call waiting on ASOP? I've never noticed anything messed up or anything different.....I have predominatly have had cm7 but also ran shiftdeck for awhile and call waiting has worked fine I believe....
I have read others having problems getting gps to get a fix but have never experienced the problem myself.....I know the solution has been to flash sense get a lock n then flash asop and from what I read gps is fixed after that....

Tap manage calls in CM7, tell me what happens.
As for GPS, I found a combination of resetting the GPS and downloading GPS assistance data with GPS status, and using faster fix and setting the proper ntp server while having wireless assistance on helps for a while. I'm still investigating exactly what needs to be done for GPS to to work properly.

I can honestly say I have never had a single problem with GPS on any cyanogen build but i never shut my GPS off I don't even know why It's on maybe for the weather so maybe that info could help someone maybe get a lock right before flashing and leaving GPS on might work but AOSP is fast has no bloat and is very customizable but I am a Sense guy so:
I think a Rom I would be 100% happy with as an all time Rom for right now it would have to be a Sense 3.0 Rom because I absolutely love it, with the HDR and panorama effects added to the camera, overclocked to 1.2 Ghz with a very light theme maybe like Rosie, status bar with no clock and notification area to be semi-trans black with white font a themed HTC_IME and dialer and a custom Glock LockRing that's all

The real question is how does your GPS work with wireless assistance turned off?
And Sense 3.0 is beautiful (mainly talking about the weather themed lock screen with the shortcuts) but I hate the way Sense 2 and 3 manage contacts and it's way too facebook integrated in general which is annoying.

I wouldn't know I don't use my GPS often and I leave it on the default settings and never have a problem even if I'm not on WiFi every time I have needed it, It's been solid and it don't kill my battery at all I get great battery life

I have to disagree. I love sense bc it has Facebook integration. I like how I set my contacts to their respective profile on my touch pro 2 with wm 6.5 synced with Google and never had to worry about it again. It puts a pic to your contacts and gives u a bday entry which is nice imo.
Now my gps sucks, I have to wait 5-10 mins to get a lock outside or in the car. And sense 2.3 doesn't have kernel source so its limited to the stock kernel.
My dream Rom is MikG, with x99 kernel. I used to love that kernel on 2.2
Sent from your Mom's Jitterbug

My dream Rom would be MikG With x99 or V8 kernel, AND Firerats due to that sucker helps save a lot of space.

My "dream" ROM on the Shift would have to be full blown Sense 3.0 with it running perfectly smooth WITHOUT overclocking. I would want the kernel for sbc and UV. And I would want google + integration added along with FB and twitter.
(Guess thats why its called a dream ROM )

Yeah full Sense 3 with no oc running that great is prolly extremely hard to do, I'm on a constant uphill battle with what I got going you know
Sent from my Supreme Shift using XDA Premium

To start out, it would look a LOT like CM7. Same launcher, same extras. NO Sense UI.
(for the record, I know that most of this is available, it just means installing a number of extra packages)
Add in all the google
T9 predictive input for the dialer
A nicer looking messaging app that doesn't fail every time you try to send a text longer than 1 message.
A few of the nice sound options from Sense UI, including having the ringer volume automatically reduce when the phone is picked up, automatically switching to speakerphone when you set the phone face-down during a call, and double-tapping the home key to see all your launcher pages at once.

I never have this problem. Do you have the messaging app locked in memory?

1. Gmail, Voice, Talk, Maps, Latitude (yes, I know it's bad for battery AND privacy, but it's fun and I don't plan on committing crimes, cheating on my wife, lieing to my boss or ever being worth enough money to kidnap; so I don't care if people know where I am.), Navigation, and of course, Market.
2. I haven't made any changes to the built in messaging app of any kind, but I'm also running the latest nightly. Doesn't matter too much, since I've installed GoSMSpro.
3. Yes, I'm well aware that many of those features kill the battery. That's why I like CM7, and only want a small handful of the highly useful features from Sense.

well no matter which rom i try, i always end up installing launcher 7, so to have that already integrated would be nice for the drawer, and a rom that lets you use the volume bottoms to skip tracks in your music player ,

I know with both cm7 and cyclonic you can skip tracks with the volume rocker. Also with the mod you can on MIUI.

[Q] Full size contact photo in Touchwiz

Hello,
I just got an S4, previously had HTC One X. Now, there is a small issue which is bothering me and I couldn't find any posts about it. When you open up a contact in Touchwiz, it shows a tiny square photo of the person. In Sense, it shows a widescreen photo, which can be expanded into full size once clicked on (please see attached image).
Is there anyway I can get Touchwiz to do the same? Any mods, apps, etc?
Any help would be really appreciated.

You can't do that in the stock contacts app, but you can find an alternate contacts/dialer app in the store. Can't say much more though.

I have been using Rocketdialer from the play store for years now,
it has full screen incoming and outgoing caller id built in with all
kinds of themes and layouts.
Much better than any stock dialer. It even has a call blocker built in too.
It's an all in one contacts/dialer/caller id/call blocker.
It's really excellent
I got it from the playstore.
Give it a try,

Actually one problem is in Google contacts. The dialer app is able to display big photos when you make a call or you have one incoming. When this photos are saved in Google Contacts, are down scaled. So, when you reset the phone or get a new one, the photos are small.

Do you know caller picture's size in S4? Is it 1080*1080 or 720*720?

There's a workaround for this.
Create the contact of the person in 'Phone' and mark the contact of the phone as default (Open contact->menu->mark as default). The hassle though is you re-create it for every contact you have.
I only do this though for frequent callers, and for callers that I have a high resolution pic.

Yesterday I noticed that this problem it's fixed by itself ... I didn't do anything and now I have big contact photos again.
