Contact Quick Tasks, Gmail, and Facebook

This "problem" has been driving me nuts. I say problem because it annoys me, but it's not a huge deal. I just want it to WORK.
Anyway, I have problems mostly with contact photos.
When I first got my phone, the initial sync from Facebook to Gmail/DroidX was painless. It assigned all the current contact photos (what I will call first generation photos) from facebook as expected. But, it won't update. I know it doesn't do this natively. You have to have some third party app to do it. I've tried a couple (SyncMyPix android app and .Google Contact Sync by heartofangel desktop app)
Right now, I can sync my facebook photos to Gmail with Google Contact Sync without issue. Works fine. Only works with contacts that are in your Gmail contacts, not all facebook contacts. BUT...getting those contact photos onto my phone is where the problems start.
If I look at my list of contacts on my phone, the thumbnail photos in the list are old (second generation photo after a sync a month ago with SyncMyPix, which was a joke...uninstalled). If I click a contact, then the photo on the details screen is correct (third generation photo after sync with Google Contact Sync). Why are they different?
Then there's the Contact Quick Tasks widget included in MotoBlur. Ooooh man. The pic on there is from the very first load of facebook photos (first generation) and it will NOT release it. I can delete all widgets and when I put them back, it's that same photo, over and over, no matter what I do. So, obviously, there's a cache somewhere that is storing that old photo and it will not overwrite it. Pain in the butt! And it's from those couple weeks on facebook when everyone was posting photos of cartoon characters. So, my wife is a pic of freakin' Rainbow Brite!!! GAH!
Does anyone have any suggestions for this annoyance. Why are contact photos so unwieldy??? Is it absolutely impossible to get realtime updates of the photos from facebook to my contacts? That would be sooooo nice.
Thanks!
Matt

Power the phone off then back on, then dial *228 send and option 1 on the device.
Possible issues could be application conflicts. The Launcher Pro Application sometimes conflicts with the Contact Quick Task Widget.
If you are using a Task Manager Application try removing the application, or changing its settings. Make sure that you have cleared the contact data on the widget.
As a last resort try removing the contact from the phone, then re-adding it, then try using the Contact Quick Task Widget for that contact..

Is it possible to have bookmarks that will auto-login to two different gmail and facebook accounts?

Right now I have separate user accounts for my wife and I, merely for the reason of keeping our bookmarks separate. Its forced us to come up with the usual workarounds for sharing iTunes, iPhoto, etc, and multi-users for us is only useful for keeping separate safari bookmarks.
Certainly, I could just have my wife use firefox instead, but then bookmarks don't sync with the iPhone and iPad. I wish that safari supported profiles like firefox, but it doesn't.
As another option, we can separate stuff into different folders and what not, but what I can't figure out is how to make it so that we could each have bookmarks for gmail and facebook that would log us in automatically. Its kinda stupid, i know, but being able to just click facebook and have it go straight to our account is really nice, and having to manually login each time is a nuisance.
anyone know of an easy fix for this?

Thanks, tst. I wasn't holding my breath on this one.
Hmm... I hadn't thought of XControls! I'd rather not go that route, though, in the interest of keeping the error handler code as light as possible. (In the daemon itself I don't mind more complexity) If I did that, the cure might be more expensive than the problem it solves.

Load and unload it explicitly at the start and end of the app. Great if you have a structured app, but not so much if you want something more free form.
Unload it as soon as it's done doing its work (or after a timeout from the last action it took).
Sadly, this app is rather "free form". It has a lot of multi-threaded, asynchronous operations since I'm performing parallel TCP communication to several hosts. Each dynamically called VI calls the error handler.
Option 2 might be a decent idea, though. If I went with that, I'd just have to tweak the architecture accordingly. It may well be the most feasible solution.
Thanks for the quick reply!

Contact Quick Tasks Problem

I cannot add a Contact Quick Task widget for certain contacts on my phone. After selecting the contact, I will be taken to the screen I'm trying to add the widget on and it will just freeze until I hit the home key, in which it will just go to the home screen.
I've noticed this issue mostly with contacts that once had a quick task widget, but have been been deleted.
I've tried clearing Quick Task's data and forcing the application to close. Nothing has worked so far. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this issue?

After uninstalling some useless pgms and updating others my gmail and facebook screens lost their icons, formatting, and entries.

I run firefox on a window7 machine. I uninstalled couponamazing, verizon, and a few other programs. Then I updated flash and google chrome. I never used google chrome before. Upon going into firefox my gmail and facebook pages were not formatted correctly (all b+W with open boxes, no icons). I then uninstalled google chrome. I read some help questions and cleared my cash, removed history, and reset firefox. Still have the same problems with gmail and FB.

Reset Firefox to its default state

How do I get my gmail and facebook auto tabs back? I have reloaded FF 5 times.

Today when I opened FF and oops page came up saying there were problems. Since then I no longer have the auto gmail and facebook tabs that came with the new version of FF. They do not load. I sent an email earlier today with no response. I have updated FF several times as suggested my your site to no avail.
Typically 3 tabs load when I open FF:
FoxNews
Gmail tab
Facebook tab.
The only thing that loads is my homepage of FoxNews.
Thank you for your time,
Shari Jones

How do I delete names from the drop down list when I login to gmail and facebook?

When I login to gmail and facebook several login names used in the past show up in a drop down list. I want to remove some of these names. How do I do that?

On Mac you need to use Shift+Delete
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Deleting_autocomplete_entries
*Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
*Highlight an entry in the drop down list
*Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Pre changed passwords for Gmail and Facebook?

I just got my Palm Pre yesterday, and I'd totally love it except for one issue - it seems that it reset or changed my password for my Gmail and Facebook accounts. Initially I had no trouble with the phone - I was able to access and sync my email/facebook to the phone and use them. I then used both from my desktop computer, no problem. I tried it again a while later (maybe 30 minutes) from the desktop and the passwords were invalid.
I've been trying to reset my Gmail password, but because I can't access the alternate email (that's what I get for not loggin into it for literally years and forgetting the answers to the security questions) I've been having a REALLY hard time with it. I have no idea how this happened or what I can do. I *really* need access to my email!
Help.

HI,
It used to be that for iChat we used to have to tell people to set up their Google Account using their Google ID exactly as it shows on the Google Web Mail Page (Or iGoogle) to make sure they had to "right" ending.
The Server is talk.google.com
This does not follow the format used by other Jabber servers which take the last part of the ID and pulls that through to the Server Setting tab and this is why iChat and the versions of Messages have a separate Google option to add the Account.
The next issue would be to then check the Mac firewall
It is in System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Firewall.
It will need Unlocking.
What used to be in the Advanced Button is not in the Options Button
In here if the Firewall On then the Allow Signed Software needs to be Enabled and Messages and IMAgent need to be in the list.
If you have to Add Messages or Enabled the Signed Software bit it will pay to restart the Computer.
The System should add IMAgent itself (Or at least ask you to confirm)
Next we have to consider the Router.
If you used Port Forwarding with your Previous OS (or even computer) you may find the IP the computer has at the moment does not work for the Port Forwarding you set up.
Ideally use UPnP if you device has it.
It allows for Multiple computer s to use the same ports. The ports open when the app needs them and close after certain period on Non use.
For Messages and iChat it also allows Screen Sharing to work as this part uses a random port.

Gmail and Facebook not loading properly after Safari update.

I got this message when I tried to check my messages:
+Some Google Mail features have failed to load due to an Internet connectivity problem. If this problem persists, try reloading the page, using https, using the older version or using basic HTML mode.+
So I tried using the basic HTML mode which meant i could read my messages, but not send or delete them. This is frustrating.
After checking other peoples posts on this topic, i tried a few things. Including creating a new user account to check if it was only a problem with my regular user account. That was no dice. Then tried resetting Safari, that didnt work. Also deleted a few random files, for eg: com.apple.Safari.plist.
But still no joy. Can anyone help please?

It's not a problem with Safari; it's a problem with your connection, as the error message stated. Your ISP could be having poblems, the Gmail and/or Facebook servers could be having problems, or both. That would cause a problem with the data being trasnmitted and received by the browser, so it can't render everything that should be.
Did you try downloading another browser such as Firefox to see if it happens there, too?

After updating to v. 6.X.X, vertical lines appear around the cursor when typing in webpages such as Gmail and Facebook that persist, obscuring text and other pixels in the webpage. Didn't happen before this update.

I noticed after updating to Firefox version 6.0.1 that vertical lines the same size and shape as the text cursor remain behind on the screen as the cursor moves (either while typing or by using arrow keys). This is most obvious and annoying in text-heavy applications such as when typing in Gmail, Facebook, and work webmail, for instance. (Interestingly, it's not happening now as I type this.)
This is very annoying because these lines obscure parts or even entire letters in words that have been typed. I thought that it might have been a Firefox customized 'skin' I added at the same time as updating, but I reverted to the default view and the problem remains.

Mavericks will not sync Apple Contacts with Google, Linkedin, and Facebook?

I just upgraded to Mavericks. Here is what I find shocking...
1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
2. During the upgrade, Mavericks linked some of my Apple Contact cards with Google Contacts, but not all of them. It need to be clarified that linking is not syncing. Worse, it corrupted data, and deleted some of the contacts on Google Contacts.
3. Similarly, Apple Contacts will not sync with Linkedin or Facebook Contacts.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had not idea and assumed that adding a Google Account with automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.
CAUTION before upgrading to Mavericks:
5. Your Google Contacts / Android devices will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contats will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
The workaround:
7. Before upgrade, ensure that your Mountain Lion or earlier address book in synced with Google Contacts.
8. After upgrade, go to Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account, and choose your Google Account as your default account. You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Welcome to Mavericks...

With all due respect @McFly_Marty, kindly do not mislead readers. As funny as it may sound, but you have been taken for a royal ride by Apple Support. Keep in mind that the tough taskmaster Steve Jobs, is no longer there, and it is no surprise that Apple’s innovations are sliding.
You probably have chosen Google as your default account under "Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account”.
Now, when you add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, you will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Try disabling your Google account in Apple Contacts, and all your new contacts are no longer in Apple contacts. Therefore Apple contacts is not syncing with Google Contacts.
Therefore, read the following from my original post again.
“1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had no idea and assumed that adding a Google Account will automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.

Hello Angela.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks,

Kopete and Jabber Accounts: GTalk and Facebook Chat

Hi all,
Recently reinstalled KDE and I'm having this annoyance which I'm sure it's easy to solve but I'm not figuring out.
To have both Gmail and Facebook accounts, one must set them up as Jabber accounts.
But then Kopete automatically 'groups' these contacts and doesn't sort them correctly.
If one contact has a gmail and a facebook account - and I have several who do, then they appear as one contact only in the Facebook group.
We must right click and choose by which protocol we wish to start a conversation with such contact: Gmail or Facebook.
Empathy correctly sorts and doesn't mix up the contacts. Contacts under the "Facebook" group are the ones active in facebook. Contacts under Gmail, are the ones active in Google Talk, etc.
How can I solve this?
Regards,
- aurocha

I'm having the same problem. Have anyone been able to find a satisfactory solution? The bug does not seem to have been fixed (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224760) and even if I manually split each meta contact they merge again. Annoying behaviour.
