[Q] Gmail sync issues

My gmail account hasn't synced in two days. Just gmail. Google contacts and calendar sync just fine. I'm not getting notifications about new emails. However...if I launch the gmail app...it shows new mail in the inbox under labels. But I'm not able to view the new emails in the actual inbox.
Anyone experiencing this as well? If no one else is having this kind of problem can you suggest a fix?
Sidenote- I thought about deleting my account from my captivate but I get a notice that I have to do a clean wipe in system settings to do so.
Help please!?!

I have been getting this for awhile even before ther recent update. (Im on the Desire)
HELP!

Try going to settings manage apps and find gmail and clear the cache - you should be good....

[Q] Messaging app / Facebook contacts photo sync problem

Ever since flashing JM6, I've had problems with the Messaging app. After syncing Facebook contacts, using either adding a regular account un Settings->Accounts & Sync->Add Account or using the official Facebook app, all contacts properly sync with the photos.
I can confirm this in the Phone/Dialer/Contacts app and all my contacts are properly synced with photos. However, in the Messaging app, all icons are blank/have the head icon.
Anyone else have this issue/know a fix?

Bump.
Update:
I installed Handcent SMS and it displays the contact pictures properly, synced from Facebook. I don't know what's wrong with my Messaging app. Still the same in Roto-JME.
I tried clearing the cache for the Messaging app but it only cleared the changes I made to the settings. Anyone?

i use syncmypix from the market to see my facebook contacs.

Thanks, I've previously used syncmypix on my first Android phone, however this isn't what I want. There's obviously a problem because it used to work now it doesn't.
I don't want to install another app just to download contact photos, the Facebook app already does it for me. Handcent SMS displays them correctly, and besides, I want the photos to be on a separate contact profile -- "Facebook", I don't want them merged to my Gmail as they constantly change anyway.
The only problem is that the Messaging app doesn't display them anymore, ever since flashing JM6 and still doesn't after flashing Roto-JME.

Did you merge your google contacts with your facebook ones? Usually it will choose the facebook pic by default over the google one but sometimes it will not and you need to edit the contact and tell it to make the facebook part of the contact the primary one. Then it will always choose the FB contact pic and even update as your FB contact changes their profile pic. This is for JM6 for mee too.

Thanks for the reply.
By merge do you mean "sync with existing contacts"? Yes if that.
I tried what you said, even setting the Facebook profile as default over the Google one leads to nothing. Still no pic. It's weird because the contacts/phone/dialer has the pictures correctly, and so does Handcent, but not the default Messaging app.
Even the default Messaging app does not having pictures for Google contacts with pictures. Everything is blank.

Bump. Anyone?

did you fin the solution for this?
EDIT : I tried syncmypix, I think it works for me. except the colorize widget has problems with Messaging. Its showing Gray and White

[Q] Twitter History in Contacts?

Ok, so I have been trying to find a answer for this... but really can't find it anywhere. I believe because the terms "remove twitter history from android contacts" are too common or I really cant google it right.
The thing is, I go to my contacts, choose one that has twitter, look into history. If I have direct messages sent our received from them it will be in there forever. Even if I delete the DM in twitter or in my Twicca application. =\
I can remove SMS messages by holding and delete, ok, the facebook messages that I delete from facebook wont show.
But twitter is always there .... forever.....!
Anyone has seen it happen too? Any idea how to remove it? Or I need to delete my contact and add again?
=\

[Q] Instagram and Facebook Questions

I got my Galaxy Note on tuesday, been playing around with it for a few days. But since downloading Facebook my contacts have messed up. So I restored it to factory settings.
Since relaunching when I try and download Instagram it says it's incompatible, yet I had it before I restored and there is no update for my phone, when I done it first time or now. I'm on 2.3.6.
Also before I log in to Facebook again, is there a way to get it not to mess with my contacts? I don't just mean under contacts, I mean under when you try to add a recipient to a text, I don't want it to list all my Facebook friends, contacts on my phone and contacts on my sim.
I've also had a few crashes for no apparent reason and on reload no error message?

Before i installed facebook it told me to select which method to use, either sync contacts or not so i choose not to so hopefully mine is cool but it said go into settings in your phone and look for facebook tab then uncheck it to not sync contacts. Should be siimple

Facebook contact sync for photos?

So my main goal is to sync my existing contacts with facebook so it will show their photos when someone calls or texts etc...
So in facebook there are three options:
Sync All - Sync data about all friends to contacts
Sync with existing contacts - sync data only about friends already in contacts
remove facebook data - remove facebook data from Contacts, Use information about friends only in facebook
Now, the second option seems to be the one I need, but what ends up happening is that ALL my facebook friends pour into my phone's contact list and it becomes a cluster. Why doesn't this work? Has anyone else experienced this?

get this app call sync me

Just open your contacts app and hit more/settings and tap on contacts to display and pick what contacts you want to show.
