Synch Icon Does not leave status bar? :(

Been running JUST fine (leaked 2.2)
And after
Removing
Teeter
Friend Stream
VZW Nav
City ID
and pushing
fixed gmail apk
and the optical joypad map (to wake)
the sync icon will not go away unless I cancel in accounts & sync
Any thoughts?

Are you using Facebook? If so, removing FriendStream will cause sync to get stuck. Put FriendStream back on and it will go away. This has been discussed quite a few times.

Yep found the culprit.. sorry man. I thought this was related to using 2.2.. thanks a lot and I apologize for the redundancy

No problem, glad you got it fixed

Facebook for HTC Widget

I've noticed that everytime I install a sense ROM I seem to lose the ability to use the Facebook HTC Widget. Right now I'm running the Mikshift Gingerbread/Sense beta and I can't find it. I can setup the account for Facebook for HTC as well as the facebook account for android. This also seems to happen with NFX's roms and any other stock rom. I really like the way the widget looks and was just wondering if there is any way to get it back.

What about using the FriendStream widget? It's twice the size (4 x 4, vs 4 x 2 of the facebook widget), but it's scrollable, and you can update "What's on your mind?", and reply to friend's comments.

I may just try that, thanks for the idea. Never really looked into friendstream.

calander widget

I need the small calendar widget to show the events of today instead of tomorrow. Right now all it does is show the events of tommorow which is pretty annoying. I dont have space on my homescreen to use the bigger sized one. Is there a way around this? or should I install a calander app from playstore?
thanks guys

Newbie Questions

Hello everyone,
I have had the Nexus 4 for a few months and am for the most part happy with it. I am not a power user by any means,but the pure android experience has been very helpful to me. I just started a new career which required a lot of traveling to different locations and scheduling and the calendar and navigation have been like a godsend for me. The notetaking apps like keep are great too. Like having your own personal assistant.
There are few things I still struggle with, particually on the phone end. I tranferred my contacts over from a blackberry, I think google did this automatically. It takes me a while to scroll down to a contact(voice recog does not work great for names) - is there a "better" way to set-up your contacts for easier acess or to enhance voice dialing? I feel it takes me much longer to find a contact than to set the navigation system to a new location. Anyone find a good solution for this?
Thanks,
Rick

Hello... I'm new here too... After using a blackberry I missed the name search here on Nexus.. The stock dialer in my opinion is ****.. Try exdialer..

Start dialing the contact name on the dial pad, this might only be a feature on custom ROMs though. If you drag the list on the right, it should scroll faster, going by letter instead of one contact at a time. This should work on stock.

You can search for a contact. Also you can add favorites for faster access to them

What he said. You can search for a contact in the Phone app by name.

[L5-II E450] Small but anoyng issue with new FB Layout

Hello friends, as you know facebook is rolling a new Layout for they'r official APP.
I hear it is server side, so as long you have Android 4.x, you can roll back older instalation, uninstall and download the older FB APP APK, you can do all that and the new Layout still will be present.
The Layout is fine exept for one small but big issue.
At the buttons on top (Feed, Notifications, Friends Request) it dont display the Messages button.
I dont use FB chat, it is aways off and now exept for the push notifications i cant see if i have new messages on the APP, i need to check then via the options menu.
That is very anoyng for my use and a very deal breaker.
I tryed 3rd party APPs but none seens nice too.
Is there a way (as it seen to be server side) to roll back for the older layout, or add the stupid messages button??
Thanks for all, here what i mean:

It is not an issue for this device... We are not developers, so maybe you could ask for an explanation in the comments of the Facebook app in Google play..
