Why was Facebook for HTC Sense re-enabled in 4.4.3 update, and why can it no longer be disabled in app manger?
Many of us who disabled Facebook for HTC Sense in 4.4.2 have been unpleasantly surprised to find the 4.4.3 update has re-enabled that app/service, and unlike with 4.4.2 the box to disable it (in app manager -> all) is now greyed out, and unselectable.
Why was this this app forced upon us? (Yes, we can temporarily force stop it, but that doesn't last long as it can re-enable itself - even before the phone is restarted or rebooted).
If Verizon doesn't want upset m8 customers it should put out an update to the 4.4.3 update that allows us to permanently disable Facebook for HTC Sense once again.
I completely agree. I have ZERO interest in using Facebook and that was the first app I disabled when I bought my phone. I am very disappointed to hear that Facebook is being forced back on us with the new 4.4.3 update. I am not comfortable with rooting yet, or I would do that so I could uninstall this and every other piece of Verizon bloatware that I do not want. It is my phone, right?? I distinctly remember using my money to pay for it! I also don't have a lot of confidence that the instructions on rooting are completely up to date to account for any issues or speed bumps, especially for first-timers like myself.
Interesting also how Verizon's release notes don't mention this "helpful feature."

Can't connect to Facebook for HTC Sense
So I stopped receiving updates for my contacts from facebook on my Droid Incredible (no updated profile pics, no status updates from linked contacts, etc.). Logging into facebook worked just fine from the facebook app. In my attempt to logout and log back in I think I ended up doing a remove account. Whoops.(I know just enough to be dangerous). Now I can't readd the Facebook for HTC Sense account. How do I get it back?
I tried to create the account with the email and password that I normally use. I get a text message saying that my facebook account was accessed by an HTC Sense device and then the Sign In never finishes...it just hangs.Hi there,
did anyone ever give you the answer. The same thing happened to me yesterday.
thanks! -
Some of my friends aren't showing up on the Facebook for HTC Sense list so I can't link them to my google contacts. It looks like most of them show up but some (including my wife) don't show up. Any ideas?
Here's my issue: Facebook Friends=n ; Facebook for HTC Sense Friends=n-1
I'm missing one contact and can't figure out how to get it to show up.
Anyone? -

Facebook for HTC sense sync error
For the past month the Facebook for HTC sense sync has been telling me "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." But it has not fixed itself and will not sync with any of my contacts. I've tried removing it and adding it back on and it still will not work. Is there anyway to fix this?
It's an HTC problem I've noticed it also. No fix other than HTC fixing on their end. You could try to log out, then back in? I just ignore it.

Facebook for HTC Sense not syncing with facebood profiles
I had to have a factory reset on my incredible and now my contact list will not sync with facebook and pull in the profile pics for my contacts on my phone that have facebook accounts. When I go to settings-acounts&sync-sync all, Facebood for HTC Sense does not seem to sync. Does anyone know what I should do?
Thanks!Hi Stingbo,
I understand your concerns. It is inconvenient when our phones act differently after a factory reset. What software version are you running? Did you get the latest update for your Incredible?
Please ensure that you have the latest software version installed as the first troubleshooting step to resolve your concerns. If you have updated to the latest software version and issue started after the update please keep in mind that it is normal for your phone to function differently after a software update and this may just be the way the new software version works.
For a list of benefits for the latest software version and instructions to install please visit this LINK at your convenience. -
The application Youtube is gone from the home page and is no longer listed in the Settings. When I use Safari to access Youtube most of the videos will not play and state "Not authorized by subscriber" or another such statement. All of these same videos can be acessed by my PC so this is very frustrating. Any suggestions or help will be appreciated! Thanks.
The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6 (I think because the licensing agreement with google ended). You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or (if this isn't the version that you have tried) try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

When I look under "Manage Applications" I see Facebook for HTC Sense, but when I look under the list of applications (frm the home screen0 it is not there, does anyone know how to activate Facebook for HTC Sense?
ThanksDifferences between Facebook for HTC Sense and Facebook for Android application
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone application. It is integrated into People, Friend Stream, and Photos to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates and new photos) in these applications.
The Facebook for Android application is a standalone application. Use this application to do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer's web browser to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and adding captions to photos you upload.
The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook application and vice versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials. -
Why can I no longer, after having downloaded Lion, write accents and other diacriticals when in the Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, or even here in this post? The new method for getting at the "option" symbols works fine in other places like spotlight, but now even the older "option+letter" doesn't work in most places.
Chrome doesn't support the new accent/diacritics/macron chooser. I'm not sure about other browsers such as Firefox. You can use the old Option+letter combination that Doug suggested. Hopefully updates will solve these little incompatibilities shortly.

Why can I no longer use an image for my signature on forms? The only option I have now is "use a certificate". It was never like this until today.
Hi,
I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
i.e without adding an Apple ID
iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
I would try this.
Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the Server)
On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number is ticked for iMessages.
If it is add the Apple ID
On the Mac restart Messages
Add the Apple ID
At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

Why can I no longer upload a picture to Facebook for my profile
why can I no longer upload a picture to my Facebook for my profile
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.
Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

It was updated and i can't see the web page. It is only a white page. Android for tablet
I was able to see a webpage which starts with https. However the browser was updated and 1 can't see the web page anymore. I can see it in chrome but I need Firefox due to the plug ins.
I installed FLASH PLAYER and it doesn´t work. Everything started when Firefox was installed automatically. Does anybody knows how to install a complement in google chrome for android (it is a scanned document) since i could not open the web page in firefox or dolphin, I used chrome but now I cannot see the content. I already installed PDF reader. I do not know how to enable the plug in. I read that I should go to
chrome://plugins but this page doesn´t not exist.
How can I enable it in a tablet android?
Thank you in advance. -

It will only allow me to put in limited information?Not a lot of information. Can you post a link to a sample of the form so others can see the how the form does not work.
