#1 Any news on honeycomb version?
#2 anyone else having trouble getting it to sync? It wont even let me add the facebook account on the accounts page.

Facebook no longer syncs with Android. That's for Gingerbread, but I'll bet they implemented it in Honeycomb, too.
And as for a version for HC, I doubt they'll have one cooked up before spring considering how slow they are with the regular Android version.

You didn't block apps from your Facebook did you? I had a problem recently where I could set up the normal Facebook app, on my EVO, but facebook for sense kept failing. Turns out when I went nuts removing annoying apps and trying to lock down my facebooks security, I blocked future unofficial apps.

I can confirm the facebook contacts don't sync on honeycomb. Although Twitter contacts still do. Must be software thing and less a google thing. When you try to add the account to accounts & sync it just flashes and drops you back to accounts.

It actually has more to do with Google's rules for Android. Here's a better explanation of it.

It's something Facebook will have to deal with if they ever want the feature to return.

Do they even have a iPad version of Facebook out?

Well Facebook is not happy with Google stop the sync.
Probably FB will demand it back before making the Android tablet version
One thing that I want for FB is MULTI USER client app!!!!!
Which I can choose account to use

Friend Me works really well, it's made specifically for Honeycomb, and it's FREE. The ads are well done so it's not intrusive and for $3 using in app billing u can unlock the ad free version.
The only downside is as of yet they don't have any widgets

Better than creating a new thread to discuss a topic that has already been introduced, don't you think?

[Q] Xoom Email Search -- Where is it???

In the Corporate (Exchange) mail. There is NO SEARCH button. I cannot find it on any menus either. I did download touchdown and am able to search in there but either I can't find it in the regular email program or it's a huge blunder by the Honeycomb team and they forgot to include one.

Sorry this has never been a feature of stock Android, ever. Not to say that it won't come, but they just haven't ever included it for whatever reason.

Pure speculation, but i think the search is missing because it would be restricted to messages downloaded to the xoom, missing anything residing on the server, reducing the usefulness of the search results.
For example, searching my gmail inbox from the mail app on my iphone never gives me anything past 10 recent emails.

My evo has email search and I have used it a ton of times. Kinda pissed it isn't included.

Your evo has HTC sense to handle corporate/regular email.

You might try using K9 Mail. They just released an update to make it compatible with honeycomb albeit not optimized.

I have XOOM and will probably return it because of this problem. FYI the built in Apple IPAD email reader is able to search local exchange mail correctly. Also the IPAD reader has a very useful preview funciton that I am used to in exchange and neither the built in email reader nor touchdown have this feature. bummer!

not included in the first honeycomb OS update
Well, my xoom just received the update to prepare it for the 3/18 adobe flash download -- email search was not included in this upldate. I too really miss this feature.

Think "Software platform", and then go download K9, it's free, or buy Touchdown. One does not have to rely on stock apps.

@Bauxite ...
WRONG... vanilla froyo and gingerbread (as well as all versions before that i think?) have ALWAYS had stock email search capabilities as well as systemwide searching. have you ever looked at just about every android device with the harware spyglass button at the bottom??
whats up xoom/motorola/google? this could be a dealbreaker for most people including me.

no email search
Pretty poor coming from a company who is al about search.

Is there any update to this?
I have an ASUS Transformer and it is VERY annoying not to have search functionality in the browser. I use IMAP and not Exchange so I can't figure out how to make Touchdown work either (plus I would rather not pay money)
Fix this, Google!!

Social Hub is different from Galaxy S2 - Push Email

Good morning, the Samsung Social Hub on Galaxy Note is different from Galaxy S2..
With Galaxy S2, I can specify if an account must be Premium (such as YahooMail). If I check Premium option it transform the YahooMail account to a Push Email...Galaxy Note have not this option..why ? How can resolve this problem ?
Thanks

I am also interested in this matter. Anyone with some info?

What i have idea is, previous social Hub, was using mail client Seven. Now it using its own. And yahoo mail have no Idle IMAP support, it can't be set as real push with routine mail client.
If you want to use your yahoo account with Push service, you can use Yahoo mail application available on market, OR find Seven push mail client. Now a days not available on market, i have posted this seven client on XDA here

Well, this is a huge dissapointment. Not having Premium Socia Hub on Note it absolutely incredible. Push is the new step in mobility. At least, let me choose, even pay for it. I am probably gonna sell the Note for another device.

Just try seven, you may find link on my previous msg, i think it shud b same, u wr using on s2

Probably i have another options too. I don't understand why i have to add another app when it was so easy to have a decent SocialHub. I regret buying this device.

Exchange email client

I am still amazed that android email client requires encryption, Please get it right google.

I dislike the inbox subfolders view on top. Should've been an option to disable this.

It's pretty bad the stock email app sucks for exchange. I use touchdown for exchange which works awesome. It's pretty expensive but I got it from amazon app store last year sometime when it was on sale for $7.

For those who have it...can we discuss the horrid new messenger app

its horrible, you can't send higher res pics, you can even take a picture within the app without horrible quality

between Google messenger, and WhatsApp, i got everything I need.
I've never bothered with MMS, they have always been a pain to use, and compatibility across cell phone carriers it's abysmal.
I you are from Company A, you send MMS to friend on another phone Company B, chances are they will not get the picture.
that happened so often, that made MMS obsolete, specially with the intro of Skype, WhatsApp, WeChat, QQ, ICQ, Hangout,etc...

Toss out all HTC stock apps is my suggestion. Get Google dialer. Get Google messenger or Facebook messenger if you want chatheads. Get Google calendar. Get Google clock.

Textra also does chat heads too :fingers-crossed:

Sooo the stock messages app is the google messenger app, just realized it while trying to download it, I hate it, it's sends low res pictures, is there anyway to change quality or another good txt msg app?

I use Google Messenger, Calendar and Inbox instead of HTC's apps, but I do keep HTC's flip clock, it's an emblem.
And what's wrong with HTC's dialer, but the dark theme not available ?

Google messenger and Android messenger are they the same of different

Same. Android is just the name of the system Google developed.

Texting and MMS?!? Haven't used those for the last couple of years. WhatsApp has me covered for pretty much everything and more.
Good if you have no data signal though for a quick message.

MMS? Does that still exists?? I can't remember receiving one. And never sent one... Yes in the early days.

so annoying.
