Sharing articles or pictures to apps problem 4.4 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I choose to share an article I'm not given the option to select which app I want. It now defaults to messenger. I use to get the list but after sharing a few times it doesn't give me the option, just defaults to messenger. Any suggestions?

Gmail and MS office attachments

My gmail has stopped opening attachments generated by office suite. When I click the attachment it kind like tries to open it but then comes back to the email.
Anyone else having this issue?

Did you remove quickoffice app? It's a stock app that some consider bloatware but opens MS office docs (Some roms remove it or move it to /data/app)
No, I still have it. Pdf and pictures work, just the office docs.

pdf and pictures open in different apps than office docs. It's friendly a quick office issue. Find it in settings/applications and clear data

Thanks, I tried but still nothing. It flashes for a second and then goes back to the email.
One way around it I figured was opening gmail in my browser and downloading the attachment that way. Not the most efficient but gets it done.
Thanks again.

Silly question, but have you tried restarting the phone since you first saw this problem manifest itself?
Nu
Just to be sure, I just cleared the data and rebooted my phone. Still the same issue, flashes a blank screen for a second and then back to the email view.

What if you use something like "download all files" or "download crutch" to grab it from the email and save it, then open it up with your desired program? Yeah it is an extra step but it might work. Never tried it myself.
Are these apps in the market? I will give it a shot.

I have noticed this issue as well but it was only for .rtf files, I am not sure what files you are trying to open but the Gmail app does not seem to like those. I typically open up .xls/x in HTML format.

Contact won't sync with Facebook

Hey guys,
Trying to sync my contacts with those one Facebook that way when they call me their profile pic shows up. But I don't see an option to sync. I'm running miui 1.8.12 with tiamat kernel. I know with other roms I had that option.

what VENOMENON_24 is trying to say is go to the market and download the facebook app. (dont log in through the browser) when you sign into the facebook app it will ask you to "sync with contacts" select yes and your good to go.
I am using the Facebook app. It sync only some of the contacts not all. I also try matching the names exactly how they have it in fb only shows what seems like coding but won't sync to their fb

go to settings in the facebook app and hit Sync All
For those that aren't being matched with their Facebook profile, but that have an entry from Facebook in your contacts app...
Go to the Contacts app and find the person you want to merge to the FB contact. Select the contact, select menu > edit contact, then menu > join.
Aside from a couple of people, mine synced up perfectly. I didn't have to do anything special through MIUI other than join 3 people because they have idiotic Facebook names that aren't their given names.
Some people use SyncMyPix or whatever the app is called to get photos to show in Contacts. It may be worth trying if you still have problems.
MIUI isn't the same as Sense. The social networking integration that's a part of Sense isn't native in AOSP roms. I think Facebook and other such sites are kind of lame, so I don't miss it.

People app question.

For some reason only a very small number of my contacts appear in my People app. If I open Gmail I have over 50 entries, but only about 10 are listed in my People app. Any idea how to get everyone to show up in my People app?
Thanks!

When in doubt, give the device a reboot. If that doesn't work, log into Gmail and reset the sync contacts part (take the tick off that, save it, go back in and re-enable). If these two things don't work, I'm out of ideas.

Facebook Sharing default privacy settings

I'm sure something this simple has to be a repost, but it took me awhile.
Problem: All my photo shares were private by default with no way to change them from FB app or mobile site.
SOLUTION:
Using FB mobile website
Settings -> Apps -> Old Facebook Apps
Now you're photos are private/public

Gapps won't connect to any Google account

This problem happens for me a lot, soundly the YouTube app starts say there is a problem with the network and if I open the Google play app it says no connection and nothing changes if I reload. If I remove my account and add it again or a different account the same problem happens. I restored my phone several times because of this and I does solve it but after a week or two it happens again

I think it's a gapps issue, try using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857, BANKS gapps are pretty good I never faced any issues but also use google search next time...its easier instead of waiting for someone to answer plus provide more details or search for ur exact error
