I think that belongs to one of the AT&T bloatware apps. Have you uninstalled them?
Edit: Nevermind. A quick Google search tells me that it's from the Google Latitude app.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I think the att bloat was removed with cog. So its with latitude? What can I do to stop it from turning on?

Uninstall it. Latitude is not from AT&T. It's a Google app.
Will uninstalling latitude do anything to maps, and gps?

No. Latitude just reports your location for Google's social service.
I had this issue all you need to do is sign out of latitude

Quite a few of you have asked me about the Facebook not syncing with 2.3.4 since Google decided to make it a no-no...Below is a link to a compiled .apk file that, hopefully, fixes the syncing problem.
*ContactsProvider.apk* TESTING ONLY and not responsible if something bad happens!! What I can say is that I have been running this on my phone with no problems but since I don't use Facebook..maybe someone else can let me know.
- Lastly, do NOT sign the .apk
- push to /system/app

SyncMyPix works well
I can't wait to see it working on my Xoom. I really hope your solution will be universal.
Also, I cannot test on my Nexus S, as CM7 has already the sync working.
So, is this a working solution?
I just picked up a NS4G and would love to get this working.
same here. as a matter of fact, why did google decide to go against this?

They wanted the data to be synced to the contact so that it would be on Google's servers... i.e. their picture is uploaded to the server, and no longer requires Facebook sync for the data.
Yes those are the rules for using Google's contact API. The philosophy is that the user should be able to export and have control over data his contacts have shared with him. Facebook wants all that data to stay in the Facebook system. They do not want to allow you to export or own or have control of your friends contact info outside of Facebook.
The rule has always been there and Facebook has always violated it. This is Google's way of letting them know they are not happy about it even though they continue to let it slide on pretty much all other devices.

Any news on this app would like to resync them again thanks
I've been using an apk called syncmypix and it works wonders..
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
It sync's the pix, there are dozents of tools like that...we need a data sync tool which sync's fb data, not only pics, with the phone contacts...
I've been using Contapps (also on the Android Market) to get around this issue.
Works great.
Actually, Contapps is a good app and can sync with social networks,including Facebook.

Maybe someone clever enough should just have a look into Cm7 source code or just ask the team. They have the answer and I am sure they are willing to share.

The Facebook app package name just needs to be added to the various unrestricted packages lists. Then its free to do whatever with your data, ignoring Google's restrictions.
I will try and find out exactly which parts of code it requires changed some time this week, I believe its XML only.

Or....
Go here: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2008/10/synchronizing-google-and-facebook.html.
Install on your PC. Run. Log in. Boom, synced.
Thanks to Koush.
That's not the same thing as what the Facebook app does. Koush's app just takes the photo from Facebook and updates the photo in your Google Contact entry for the person. That photo is then permanent until you manually remove it on the Google Contacts website.
The Facebook app only stores the photo in the person's contact on your phone, but not in the actual Google contact entry. The advantage of this is that if you remove Facebook, the pics go away as well. It keeps Facebook and Google Contacts separate. This is how Twitter, Last.FM, Qik, et al do it.

I know. I like that better. I did not like syncing photos, then I log into Gmail Contacts and all the photos were gone. I like to have the photos in Gmail too.
But my post really was in reply to another user who suggested another 3rd party app to sync the pictures. I meant to quote his post but I did not.

Gotcha, thanks. Afaik, CM and some other chefs have the requisite info to bypass goog's restrictions and allow syncing. Maybe we can reach out to them and they'll be kind enough to share the solution?
I have installed the stock s version and like this rom a lot but there are 2 features i would like to remove.
1. Startup/shutdown sound
2. Lg contacts. I only want to use google contacts
How can i remove these?
I am sure this had been asked before but I could not find anything when searching.
Thank you for your help.

1) is easy. Use a root explorer and rename/delete the files /system/media/audio/poweron/poweron.mp3 and /system/media/audio/poweroff/poweroff.mp3.
2) Not sure exactly what you mean. If you want to force the phone to only use google contacts or if you want to delete the contact program alltogether (which means you must install another contact manager yourself.) Please explain what you're trying to achieve.
Thank you for the first answer.
Regarding the second one. I want to only use google contacts. Now by default if i create a new contact it is stored as local lg storage and i need to change it to my google account manually. I like the contacts app itself just not the lg integration in it.

Then 2) is just as easy, you need to freeze/uninstall "LG PC Suite".
Double thanks. That worked perfectly!

Anyone have a way to sync Facebook contacts in JB 4.3 like the one in Sense? Is there a way to pull that file and install it?

HaxSync
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
Sorry should have been more clear... To import fb contacts like stock.
My understanding is all these apps can do is add photos to existing contacts.
Or does it pull all fb contacts and show them under people?
I know its just a buck, but I don't feel like paying for something that won't work....
Anyone confirm how haxsync work?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Well that was a waste of a buck. Haxsync was worthless. All it did was pull birthdays and events for fb contacts. Didn't do anything to pull contacts and their numbers to integrate with phone book.
Plenty of other free apps that could have done this without paying.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Contacts+ is free and syncs with Facebook and g+. I like it
I went back to Sync.me.
I thought maybe since HaxSync was paid might have Facebook contact number capability...
But I think no 3rd party app is capable of it.
Tried contacts+ its OK but nothing spectacular. Sync.me pulled contact information from people that were in my phone but not my Facebook friends off their public profiles.... So now I even have pictures to their names....Useful for like employees, where you don't necessarily want them as Facebook friends but need their number in your phone book.

My facebook account can't sync with HTC Sense 5
I've tried 20 apps and I don't really like most of them.
What are ppl using?
I honestly liked the old 4.1 stock app and want something similar.
I want manual sync, but I want the app to auto sync upon opening, which surprisingly none of them do. I know u just have to pull down to sync, but hey, one less step, is one less step.
I also am having trouble finding an app where u can easily delete from the app. I think I'm deleting emails throughout the day, only to find them all still there when I go to hotmail on my computer.
When I hit delete, I want it to delete, not go to trash so I have to open an entirely different folder and delete that for it to really be gone.
I'm just going to keep trying them, but if you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I use OWA Webmail app. As my employer has prevented me configuring mail apps for our exchange server. This one works though!

Have you tried Mailbox by Dropbox? I've been using Inbox by Google since it came out. I like the idea but it can get confusing at times. Gonna give Mailbox a try since it comes highly recommended.
Aquamail
I'm actually using Lollipop Gmail, considering it now supports other mail accounts natively.
Of course, it doesn't have any fancy features... But I enjoy it. It works well.

Profimail for corporate mail and Inbox for Gmail.
It will be great when the guys release the feature of getting mail from Exchange.
