@#[email protected]! Friendstream - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody know how to get the Friendstream widget to work. I installed a 4x5 Rosie mod and I love having the extra real estate. Unfortunately, doing this has caused my Pure Messenger widget to not work correctly. I used it for my facebook feeds. I have tried using the Friendstream widget but it never updates. I deleted my facebook account and reconnected to from the Friendstream config. It says at the bottom that is was updated at so and so time but there is nothing displayed.

Go to accounts and sync. You can refresh the widget but it only ever really updates on the time frame specified (i have mine set to an hour so it actually updates 12 minutes after every hour...6:12, 7:12, etc). I'm pretty sure you can set it for smaller intervals though.
It's a known issue and one the app has has well (you have to manually update in the app for the widget to update).

Launcher Pro People Widget question

Facebook sync question. I have searched.
On a Sense Rom Facebook syncs all the latest Facebook pictures to my contacts just fine. Also on an AOSP Rom Facebook will sync all the contact pictures just fine. BuT... When I use the Launcher Pro people widget the widget will not sync the pictures. If I use the Sense people widget the pictures sync just fine. I have set up the the Launcher Pro to sync with Facebook and the Friends Widget works great.
Any ideas?

Anyone?

I don't think the people widget in lp has anything to do with Facebook. Set up Facebook for HTC sense under accounts in settings to sync as little as possible, and that should sync up your fb contact pics.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Edit - I just reread your post, and I think I completely missed what your issue was. If the pics are already synced, I don't know why the people widget isn't showing them, or even if its supposed to.
it doesn't work perfectly, but it does work, at least on mine. or, at least the last time i used it it did. i've been using adw for about 2 weeks now, so i don't remember exactly
anyhoo,
sync your facebook contacts, then start the widget. or, if you already have the widget up after a facebook sync, try using the refresh option on the widget. that should work for at least some of your contacts. not sure why it doesn't work for all of them...
does anyone know how to make the people widget behave like the sense people widget(when pressing on a contact to direct call him)?

[help] Widgets are not refreshing

this initially happened with the gosms widget where it doesnt refresh everytime i get a new sms. i reinstalled gosms and it still had the problem. and now even the clock widget of sonyericsson and the other widgets likr goweather, the date widget doesnt refresh anymore. how do i go about this? are you also having the same problem?
How about Timescape? You can use it to see the messages
I don't use timescape. It's not too private.
Anyway, it's not the issue though.
Even the clock widget (stock SE's digital clock) sometimes don't refresh with the time showed in the status bar. Even the weather widget etc.

ever since the 2.3.3 update ive had the same issue, particularly with the clock. its always out of sync. tried stopping home, reloading the widgets etc, nothing seems to work and its completely random
I'm still with 2.3.2.
I tried using GoLauncherEx and so far they are working fine. But it still happens.
I have noticed that the widgets don't refresh when I'm using the default SE home..
Can someone help me with this?
I've discovered this to be a reproducible (but not solvable) problem. This might be an Android prob, as there are one or two other short threads on this site for other phones. For me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. But fixing it... who knows?
I have been able to reproduce it three times:
1. after a week using my Arc, a new clock widget stopped updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.
2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the widgets wouldn't refresh except as above.
I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.
3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock show the same problem.
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
Fix launcher lag
This method worked on my SE Arc S (.42). You need to have root access.
1) Open the following file: /system/build.prop
2) Add this to the end of the file and save it: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
3) Reboot.
Hope it helps.

The sync option for friendstream is in the narrow space at the bottom of the widget. (needs accurate touch)

I also don't receive any notifications for my Twitter mentions etc.
Probably they forgot to built this in?

(FIXED in 1.28) Bug in Calendar/Agenda Widget

This probably does not seem like a big deal but it's driving me nuts.
The HTC agenda/calendar widget causes sense to crash every time it loads.
Yes, I have tried the android one and Pure Calendar Widgets etc but they are not the same.
I was going to try digging the HTC Calendar widget out of the 1.20 Stock ROM to see if it will install. Anyone know if that's likely ?
I don;t want to be a whiner but I'm kinda mad some of the crap HTC pull. In this latest release I've lost the two widgets I used most, the news widget and the agenda widget

you are right...I am also facing the same BUG, sense is rebooting one we select the calander/agenda widget....
Regards,
Isn't that only if you have your Facebook calendar syncing before adding the widget though? Possibly because it's having to add too many events?
Agenda widget working fine here with two calendars syncing - plus you can add the FB calendar once the widget is on screen.

No. I am only showing 1 calendar in the agenda widget and it's not the facebook one. It's my exchange calendar.
The bug seems to be linked to the number of appointments you have.
Mine worked fine for the first few days and then this morning started crashing. This is because now that the easter holidays are almost over my work diary for next week is really full, hence lots of appointments etc.
If I change the widget to only show the facebook calendar or only show tasks etc it works fine.

Damn. That does not seem to be working.
I;'ve got the system image out of the rom but I can't extract it using unyaffs.
Any pointers from any of you android chef genuises ?
Maybe someone could just extract and post the agenda widget apk and I will test ?
Cheers.
I had the same problem once. I have 2 calendars synced + facebook.
I removed the widget and re-add it and it's working.
I saw an other bug : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590772
Fix Found (Sort of...)
I have found a fix for this.
If I tell the widget to "Show All Calendars" it's fine.
If i tell it to only show one, even if that's the only calendar with any events in it, it causes Sense to crash.
Guess I'll just tell it to show all calendars
Strange - show all causes mine to crash as it then includes Facebook.
If I just use my work exchange and Google calendars it works fine and I'd imagine there's more than 20 entries in those?

I am using the standard Android widget (the 2x3 one) and it annoyingly doesn't seem to update. When I add items to my calendar they do not show up and sometimes the widget shows a day behind the actual date.
There also seems to be no refresh button for this widget. Is there a way to do that and does anyone else have this problem?
Ahhhhh ! Fixed in the 1.28 OTA update. Sweet, sweet bugfix

Multiple Google Calendar widgets with different accounts

I have two Google accounts on my phone right now. One is my primary gmail account that I use for everything, and the other is for school emails and everything related to academic work.
What I did this semester is I put my schedule in my school gmail account, instead of in my regular account like I had been. I'd like to know if there is a way to pick different accounts and display the two accounts on two separate widgets. I'd prefer to use the stock android widget as that has never given me issues although I realize I can always download a Calendar app and have this problem solved. However it would be nice to not have to download anything and keep the way my home screens look uniform. It would also be nice because the stock calendar widget has a native lock screen widget that looks and works really well.
Basically, is there a setting in the stock calendar widget to select just one gmail account per widget? Or should I just download a calendar widget from the Play Store and do things that way?
