to the best of my knowledge, facebook contact sync doesn't work right now (haven't seen it as an option for a long time)

What I did is open the contact and look at the bottom where is says linked contact..Click on that and you should see the option to link it to their Facebook contact...

Ah no I don't use custom groups as all my contacts are stored on goolge and not my phone...That must be the cause then...

I've given up and not storing contacts on my phone any more

and the process name is just "IM" and from the look of the icon it is an instant messenger. Does anyone know if there is such an App? I can't find in when i open the apps library but it shows up as a process.
and does anyone know what is this?

bump for this!
shoot me down if this is a massive assumption BUT
Is this a instant updater for your google mail account? I didnt think I had push mail activated but when I get a new email in gmail I get an instant notification.

The Gmail built-in is Push Mail already, correct me if I am wrong.
Perhaps IM is incoming messages? I see IM and think instant message.
Failing that does taskiller not show whats running?

that IM process I see has the same icon as the google talk icon, like 2 conversational bubbles with one red and one blue.

I really don't want to lose Google Chrome just for that, is there an alternative for Chrome to Phone but for chrome?
Read it Later is an excellent app that also has Chrome extensions.
If you go into Tools>Extensions and click Options under Chrome to Phone, what happens?

You can try Springpad. They have a Chrome extension (that you can use to cut and save web pages and make notes right from the omnibar/extension bar and an app (web app) for Chrome. They also have an android app. I use the extension to cut and save web pages and images and send them to my phone (or if I need to, I edit said page or image first in the web app....)

Once here you can uncheck picasa so it won't show up in your gallery any longer.

[Q] "Search by Google" in status bar? How to remove?

Hi all,
How can I remove this search by Google bar from my status bar? (don't know how it got there unfortunately).
It's linking to: search.mobirowser.com/?app_id=95280&p=nsw

Hope you guys have some ideas on this.
I take it chrome is your default browser, check in the settings for chrome, or reset the to default.
Aha! I like it acctually, so this is what you get if you download latest Chrome?
Edit: No I don't have it
Looking at where it's linking to I'd say some crapware app put it there.
Googling mobirowser.com gives the whois records for some shady sites, probably link sites to get add referrals.
Start by removing apps you installed last or don't need.

sounds feasable. Try downloading addons detector and running that. That app is very good at finding that sort of thing...
Found it!
It turned out to be an unofficial rotten tomatoes app.

glad I could help, I take it you use addon detector?

I gave my moto x to my mom, signed out of my account and set it up with her google account. the only thing that didnt change is the "me" contact in people, which still shows my own details. pressing, or pressing and holding, does not do anything. how can i change/delete it?

It'd probably be easiest to avoid any other future issues of any of your data such as this if you just do a factory reset and have her set it up from scratch.

Have you gone into the People app and deleted the contact under "Me"? That or modify it to match her information.

After taping the contact under the Me section, you don't see the edit option after tapping the three stacked squares icon, like so?
