FF sync stops gmail and wordsmith sync & notifications on HTC sensation

When going through FFv12 options on the PC laptop last week I set up the pair a device and sync feature with my android phone. I expected or hoped to get my bookmarks tabs synced to the phone but it didn't happen. The FF app is not a patch on the Dolphin browser which I have learned to drive and like very much so I just put FF on the back burner as something to work on.
I noticed on the weekend away that my notifications for Wordsmith (much better than WWF) weren't happening and this morning found my emails were not syncing. Normally I can have the gmail app up on the phone and watch it echo deletions etc. done on the computer.
After going through all the sync settings on the phone I had to think so what's changed since it did work. The FF app of course. So I deleted, rebooted and it's all syncing properly again.
I'm using an HTC sensation. If anyone else could comment on the FF app causing a sync conflict on their phone I'd love to hear about it.
Geoff.

Hi,
Thanks for trying out Firefox for android. I'm sorry you had this problem. I've never heard of this happening before, so I suspect that rebooting your phone did the trick and that it had nothing to do with setting up bookmark, password, and history syncing with your desktop Firefox.
If you are willing to try it again and you have the same thing happen, we can file a bug about it to get engineering to look at it, since it shouldn't cause problems with any other sync services.
Thank you!
Michelle

  • How can i stop gmail and email messages sent to my inbox to go to my apple email?

    hello to all,
    i have a gmail and a hotmail account.
    everytime i receive a message in my inboxes it apperas on my apple email account a few minutes later.
    is there any way to stop this from happening?
    what if for instance an email with a virus is sent to my account?
    regards

    sorry, I'm sure my vocabulary in English is not helping you, let me try to show you in images...
    Go to Preferences,
    As my image is in Portuguese-BR, let my try to explain... You need to click on the icon next to iCloud icon. can you see that? that blue ball between iCloud and Rede (network, in English)
      I guess opening there you'll can disable hotmail and Gmail, watch the next image, these are the preferences on of Mail, Contacts...:
    Now, in this window you need to search for your Gmail and Hotmail accounts, just select them (as in my case I have th Gmail one selected) and click on the minus, that is next to the plus signal,  down in the same window.
    I can assure you Apple support is the best you'll find, I don't know what it happened to you, but they're the best.
    Don't be worried about it, you bought the best device in the world, it just take a time till we now exactly how to use it

  • My facebook app has stopped updating and send push notifications while not open. How can I fix this?

    My iphone facebook app just recently stopped sending push notifications when I receive messages. It doesn't even show the little red circle on the icon.
    If I open the app all updates will be loaded and when I close out the icon will have the little red circle indicating the amount of unread messages I have. It will not update while the app is closed though.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

    Check your Notification Center settings (in the Settings app) to see if you have Facebook blocked on anything.
    If not, just delete the App, reboot your phone, then reinstall from App Store.

  • My icould on my windows 7 system stop working and the refresh notification tab has disappeared, my icould on my windows 7 system stop working and the refresh notification tab has disappeared

    My iCloud on my windows 7 system no longer work and the refresh icon in outlook 2010 has disappeared. I have deleted the applicaton and reinstalled it and still no luck. How can I get this device to work with iCloud again? It was working great!

    Thanks, Allan, but I am embarassed by my own ignorence.  For better or undoubedly worse I am a PC person and I wouldn't know a Snow Leopard from a field mouse.  I just know that about four or five years ago someone developed a procedure that involved moving a half-dozen or so Windows 2000 system files (that did support AppleTalk) to Windows XP systems whcih then gave them the same capability.
    Since this 2000 ==> XP has worked so well for so long, I was just hoping that someone might have developed something similar for Windows 7.  I can handle an answer ot No, but first I have to ask the queston. 
    Sub-Question:  If not Appletalk, how else can I keep my Pro 630s as productive members of my PC-based Ethernet network?

  • Gmail and calendar..  sync vs on demand viewing..  calendar notification

    I just picked up an iPhone 3G. I never used one before, and I'm definitely impressed.
    One of the first things I tried, that was the new google mobile search app, and the sweet gmail and calendar access. http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/
    I'm trying to decide if I should also setup my gmail and calendar to sync to the iphone mail and calendar apps... if that really adds much value.
    The first issue that comes to mind is setting up calendar / appointment reminders. I chose the 200 text message 5 dollar SMS plan, so I'm thinking it would be a bad idea to have google's calendar texting my phone for each event reminder. Would be incredible if those notification found there way to the phone via the sweet 3G or edge or wifi data access... I remember apple saying they setup this incredible service to enable 3rd party apps to present that type of data without having background programs running, so I'm hoping google's calendar will be able to notify my iphone without the text messaging scheme soon.
    anybody know if my notification wish is something anticipated? on the way? or am I being a bonehead, and I should be setting up some sort of synchronization to the apple calendar app?
    the last bullet item here http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/calendar/
    suggests it's already doable, but I'm guessing it's really only the text message scheme right now, and has to be "controlled" when logged in looking at the "non-mobile" version of the page.
    http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/calendar/
    # Set up mobile phone notifications.
    As for gmail, I have the same curiosity...sure I could sync via IMAP to the local mail app, but again, google's web based gmail interface seems to have it beat right now.. landscape larger keyboard view and all sorts of other goodies I'm sure.
    and wouldn't all that IMAP syncing and pushing be more battery intensive than just using google's mobile interface through safari to view the my calendar and mail on demand?
    Definitely need those notifications delivered though (possible google? I hope I hope?)

    No, You can 'integrate' them with your phone if you want.
    Here's the choice, do you want to use iCloud for your Contacts and Calendars (on your phone as well as everything else) instead of Gmail, yes or no
    If yes then download a copy of SmoothSync for Contacts and Smooth Sync for Calendars from the 'Play' Store and setup your iCloud account on your Android phone.

  • Problems Syncing Gmail and Verizon Contacts

    Since I got this phone, I've been having problems getting it to sync my contacts with gmail and with the Verizon Backup Assistant.
    For Gmail, it seems to actually be updating the contacts (both from the .com to the phone and vice versa) but I always have a "sync error" noted under "Sync Contacts" for my main gmail address when I look at the account under "Accounts and Sync". (its a red exclaimation point next to "Sync Contacts" under the account info). Its not really a problem I guess, but the error message bugs me. The full message under "Accounts and Sync" is "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." This message has always been there.
    For the Verizon Backup Assistant, I can only seem to get it to sync if I do it from the website for backup assistant (and that only works sometimes). It does not work from the phone when i hit the "back up now" tab in the Verizon Backup Assistant. Also it never has backed up any of my google/gmail contacts. On the few occasions when it has worked, it only backs up those contacts that have the little orange headshot which denotes a verizon contact. 
    I have spoken with Verizon support twice. They promise they will open a ticket/escalate the issue and call me back, but I never hear another word from them. After a failed attempt, the phone will continue to try to sync to Verizon Backup Assistant and send me repeated messages that it failed. Finally, I just have to shut the app down to stop the notifications.
    BTW, I really don't care about the Verizon Backup Assistant, except that it needs to be on and working in order for the "wipe" function to work through the Assurion program if the phone is lost or stolen. 
    I have made sure that all my contacts have been 'joined' so it should work. Has anyone else had these problems with the Charge?
    Thanks,
    Rich

    Rich,
    Had the same issues since I use my Droid for business and personal so I have > 2,000 contacts. The problem is Verizon Backup times out trying to import it all. As the Verizon Technical folks told me,. the Backup Assistant was made for a semi-smart phone like Blackberry where I had no issues in synching the phone since it has half the capabilities and features. These new phones can import 2-3X the data and features so it takes too much time.
    First item: Export your Gmail contacts out of Google into a CSV file depending on the operating system you have. I'm on Windows 7 so CSV Windows and save your file to your Desktop.
    Next TURN OFF your Synch capabilities on your Charge by going to OPTIONS/ACCOUNTS & SYNC and UNCHECK the Auto-synch box and the Background data boxes.
    Next, got to the Verizon website, log-in and  Click on My Verizon, then click on Backup Assistant at My Device Tab and  import the file into Backup Assistant via the CSV import command that is on the Right side of this page down below where is says IMPORT CONTACTS. Once completed, it may take a while ( with my contact data base about 30 minutes)  it should show your contacts on the screen. Log out and go back to your Charge OPTIONS/ACCOUNTS & SYNC and CHECK the Auto-synch box and the Background data boxes back to ON. Over the course of the next 1/2 hour or two, you will see your contacts start showing up depending if you are on 4G or wireless. Also make sure you are synching to your gmail account under Manage Accounts and you have Gmail selected. Since I'm on Outlook Exchange I just use Outlook (Until that time Google lets you imput multiple contacts from the same company instead of one at a time approach) and have GMail turned off.
    Not sure about Google, but I know Verizon is using IntelliSync which is the same software Palm used on it's Palm Pilots to synch the data since I have seen it come up as it works really well. So once it has the core data base in there, it will synch all the updates/deletions no problem. I set mine to synch in the late evening since less traffic at that time. Let me know if this solves your problem.

  • Does anyone know about the privacy policies regarding Notes written on iphone? What about if they are synced with Gmail and get sent to All Mail folder?

    I recently found all of my notes (written on my iphone) in my All Mail folder (of my gmail). I think this is because I had selected that my Notes by synced with my Gmail (under Gmail account settings). So I experimented by unsyncing it, then wrote a few more notes, and they stopped appearing in my Gmail All Mail folder. Then, to check, I re-synced it, and wrote some more notes, and they still have not shown up in my All Mail folder. I am freaked out about the unreliability of the systems regarding my personal notes I wrote to myself--both about personal things and to do lists... The fact that it is SO iffy and unclear (Where the notes go and why, where else they may have ended up), is super frustrating to me. What are Apple's privacy policies? Icloud's privacy policies? Gmail's privacy policies? Ergh.
    -Frustrated by unreliability and lack of clarity pertaining to personal documents and where they go and where they are stored (even after deletion).

    If you go to settings , notes , you can switch we're you want them to go for default. But both your gmail and iCloud have password protection so unless you give someone your password I'm positive nobody can see them. You should also have if you don't already a password on your iPhone to unlock it. Good luck

    Hello Suzanne,
    Thank you for providing the details of iTunes unexpectedly quitting.  You have taken some really good troubleshooting steps already.  I found an article with additional steps you can take to further isolate and troubleshoot an issue like the one you described:

  • Syncing with gmail and iCloud across 3 devices

    I cannot get my devices to sync properly (MacBook, iPad mini, iPhone 5c).  I use Gmail and iCloud, and it seems to muddy the waters.  My contacts, for example, are a mess.  As someone who is normally on top of the tech stuff, I feel confused and very frustrated.  Is it time to get rid of Gmail?  Do I need to wipe my data and start fresh?  For some reason there just seem to be too many settings to get everything to work seamlessly.  If anyone has faced similar issues please let me know if you have any solutions--whether it is a step by step process, or visit or the Genius Bar...
    Thanks!

    iCloud doesn't sync email; changing your iCloud settings won't effect your ability to sync email.  Just set up the same Gmail account on all your devices.  Unless you set it up as a POP account, it will stay in sync across your devices.  (Only IMAP and Exchange accounts sync across your devices; POP email doesn't.)

  • On both my desktop and notebook, sync just stops working and needs to be set up again! Although my account is still there ?

    On both my desktop and notebook, sync just stops working and needs to be set up again! Although my account is still there ?
    I have windows 7 on both computers and I use the paid version of Roboform (which does not encounter any problems!) So, I really need my sync to work and keep working. Please help......

    Do you mean that after closing the browser your Sync set up is gone and you need to Set it up again?
    This is, generally, because your privacy settings are too restrictive and you are deleting the password of your Sync account.
    You can modify this in the Privacy tab of your Preferences/Options window. Select Remember History or Use Custom Settings in the drop down to configure the level that you want.
