i'm having trouble with my timescape app and it's driving me nuts ~~ when i turn the phone on ~ it'll show the latest news ie facebook miscall whatever on my main screen, and it'll stay there forever. what i mean is it won't change/update to another one even though it's newer. example, someone changes their status on facebook. it'll show that on my homescreen. 1 day later it'll still show the same one, with the exact same time stamp like 5mins ago 1hr ago etc etc.. how do i get it to change? the only way i can get it to gurantee change is turn off and turn back on the phone again. it's driving me nuts

well if u have a task killer installed, then that is stopping the timescape from updating. jus add timescape as a exception to the task killer nd it'll work fine..
or just uninstall the task killer...
cheers
i'll give it a try thx
Hate to steal this thread but its appropriately titled for this inquiry as well. I just got my X10....finally, and I can't seem to get timescape to sync with my gmail?? I would assume this is possible. When I go into "set up services" only facebook and twitter are available options and when I go into "set up an email account" it says that I already have an account set up, which is my work email through hotmail that I do not want to sync with timescape. Any thoughts??

Unfortunately Gmail dose not comes for timescape, only emails setup through standard email client of X10 will display.
If you don't want mails that configured via so called standard email to display, simply in the timescape mode click settings and untick customize tiles and splines
I don't have a x10 yet, but I'm planning on buying.
This I don't really understand.
I have a gmail and a hotmailaccount, and I like to have both in Timescape.
That is not possible?
Can you explain to me what my options will be to set up both accounts on the x10?
Thx
you can get both email accounts on the phone but only ur hotmail account will show up on ur timescape which isn't really that big of a problem
Hi - You CAN have your gmail on timescape as well as any other mail accounts.. if you go into the standard mail program (NOT the Gmail one).. add you're Gmail account into there and it will start popping up in Timescape too... it'll have it's own icon too (little red envelope if I remember right).
Thx for both your answers!
Now I can get myself a x10, knowing that I'm doing the right thing!

im running CORE cell evo ROM and im trying to sync my friends FB pictures to my contacts, but dont know how, ANY HELP?
Go into phone app, tap all people, scroll to the right where there should be a facebook icon, link your contacts to profiles, and update. You also may have to login to your facebook account first in the Data Services option in the Settings tab.

I just log into Facebook on my phone and it automatically updates all of my contacts. If your FB buddies don't have the same phone number that your phone has for them then it won't do it...
Still no luck!

u have to have ur sim contacts imported to ur phone. it won't work on ur sim contacts. after importing ur contacts ( go to phone-all people- menu-import contacts) it should work.
kinda sucks since u'll have to sets of contacts for each one (sim and phone contact) so then hit menu - view- contacts. this will show u only the phone contacnts. then u will have to click on each contact. click on edit information - then on the top right theres a box showing a contact pic, click on it and it will give u an option to link the contact to facebook.
But for some reason, after getting all this done if u go back to data services and have facebook sync data off, u will lose all the pics..
I put it off coz i dont want push notifications from facebook..is that wat facebook sync does when its on ? push notification? will it constatnly connect online and check for notifications ? or only update when i connect?
Facebook syncing only auto updates every 2 hours as stated in the data services menu. It's not push notifications.
Hey all I'm new here...
Just wanted to point out some woes with the new OTA 2.3.4 update with the contacts. Although it seems the views have a few more options the bad part is they took away the option to flip the screen left or right to see social or history... that sucks but the worst part is... it seems that you can't link with social accounts anymore either!!!
Any insight on this... am I doing something wrong?
Use GO Contacts, it's just plain better.
your probably right... though 2.2.2 was fairly decent.
Just wanted to add... as I'm going through account and contact stuff, the ability to sync facebook or twitter pics with contacts is gone as well I know there are other ways (manually) but this was a nice feature... why would the take it out? What reason do we have now to add any of the social/pic stuff with motoblur? Again, Myspace, facebook, LastFm, twitter, Picasa, Photobucket, flicker, Linkedin... its all broken now, none of them sync with contacts now. (or is it fixed... was there issues with this before, did folks not like it?)
Note: If you long press any of these accounts in settings it states.... "To Fully integrate "account" into your mobile experience, click Add Account." What experience are they refering to? All I can see is that your widgets (which suck) will populate their feeds....
Update... I did find some settings for anyone looking.... if you edit a contact and press menu the option to join pops up.... so maybe its not a total loss also not as I used an app to sync FB pics to existing contacts (synced to google) not sure if you "join" if the pic syncs as well....
If they took out linking contacts period, IMO that would be a HUGE step forward.
My contacts got severely f*cked up because of that, and I'm still trying to fix that mess.
If I hadn't bought so many Apps under my current account, I just would have just created a new Google account already...

If you unlink your accounts, the contacts should go back to the way they were. Linking doesn't actually modify any account info.

Go into your contact, then menu->Options
Altough it is still possible to link the contacts, I prefer the older Contacts.
It was easy to see where did each info came from (small "f" or "t" logo near the contact data).
Will try to get used to the new interface.
Anthony, I agree with you. The option to flip right and left was very useful and I used it all the time to keep track of my communication with a contact. I was hugely disappointed to see that missing. I do not understand why they would remove that. I also liked the contact photo syncing. It was nice that most of my contacts had photos added automatically.
Has anyone else had issues with webtop working after the update? Via HDMI or any of the docks...

nothin there any more
installed go contacts and it had it though so it's a non issue
I like new Contact App.
Just a small bug: birthday date is showed as an INTEGER (many times negative) and not more as a Date.
Example: "Birthday: -609994887"
I'm not sure if the wrong "import" of newer Contact App is about Facebook's birthday date or Google's Account, however something is wrong...
What the... they just took out the most usedlful feature in blur, contact history. Man thats so bad...

Select the one under motoblur accounts not the one under other accounts (which makes me question the wisdom of Moto for having it listed twice on the same page).

I tried that too but I had the same problem as before, no contacts showing up. Why must motorola make things so difficult?
Edit: Read on droid x forums that it can take a couple hours for them to show up, so I'll wait and see.

Be sure to be on a wifi network and ensure you can sync social apps. I would reboot the phone once all of that is checked and then see if it all comes down or not.
Anyone else have this issue? I use the Gmail app and have my hotmail/outlook account added. Before the update I would get the new email notifications and emails automatically. Now I have to pull down to refresh my inbox just to see what new emails I have for my hotmail account. I have gone in and made sure everything is set for sync and for notifications but it still does not do it... I am puzzled at this point. It worked fine prior to update...
You need to allow Gmail to run in the background by removing it from the battery optimization. Doze on 8.1 is more aggressive than 7.1, Gmail would actually recommend you to take it off battery optimization because of this. After upgrading from 7.1.1 to 8.1 and opening up the app, it was the first thing it told me in a banner.

You need to go to Settings --> Battery --> Verticle Dots Menu --> Battery Optimization --> Press the dropdown that by default says "Not Optimized", switch it to "All Apps" --> Scroll to find Gmail & press --> Select "don't optimize" & press done.
Try this, it should work. I was able to get email notifications to my device from my Outlook account via the Gmail app.
Cheers!

That was what the app suggested after I upgraded. I thought it uses the high-priority GCM push, but it could also be because I set up Outlook on the Gmail app via Exchange rather than POP/IMAP? Not sure. I wouldn't have said this if I wasn't instructed to & it working after following its suggestions.

Hi,
The notification for outlook doesnt pop. If i keep the app active , the notification works. But in background i get no notification
I tried following , but nothing works.
Lock outlook app in recents
Disabled smart power saver-> and enabled Allow background running
I guess app is being killed by coloros
Do you guys have same issue? Any solution?

Do you keep auto sync on all the time ? If so, it seems Outlook has rather weird behaviour. While gmail is responsive to push e-mail, to which your badge will appear accordingly. Outlook on the other hand will show the badge only if you refresh inbox manually (swipe/ pull down inbox). I'll comeback to you when I come up with solution.
Edit :
Try the following,
1. Make sure auto sync turned on
2. Go to Outlook setting (within the app)
3. On notifications, select "All mail"
4. Badge count, select "All"
5. Hope it works

Notification works now :victory: Below are the steps
I have removed the outlook account and added again.
Disabled smart power saver-> and enabled Allow background running for outlook
On notifications, select "All mail"
Badge count, select "All"
One strange thing is the outlook [exchange] account isn't appearing in "account and sync" settings
1. Go to app info( by longpressing on app or by going via setting)
2. Now go to power saver option
3. Allow running in background
Done you will get notification for all the app

Below is partial solution. After below steps you have to launch the affected app frequently [for me weekly once]. I dont know any other way.
1. Disable smart power saver in settings->battery .
2.Go to custom power consumption protection->choose app->allow background running.
But the apps like gmail whatsapp doesnt have this issue. can Somebody explain??????
