Hi everyone,
I got my brand new Xperia Z yesterday and, coming from an old Wildfire S, I absolutely love the speed and smoothness of this phone. I have set it in the last few days and everything works apart from the "Xperia inside Facebook"-syncing-thingy (I hope that's what it's called in English as in German it is "Xperia für Facebook") which is the on-board programme to sync contacts, statuses, calendar and stuff, if I am not mistaking (and obviously I cannot tell as I cannot use it at all)
The problem is this:
When I want to activate this I have to confirm that the app can use my facebook information. After that I have to choose whether the app should inform my friends about me using it. No matter if I click "confirm" or "skip" here, always the following happens: I get a message saying "Error. Try again later"
I did try later, it never worked. I also
- deleted FB-account on my phone
- restarted phone
- deleted FB and restarted
- deleted FB-update in case the error was because of a new FB version
- checked security settings in FB
- tried with Wifi and 3G
It doesn't work at all! My brother has the same phone and he just tried once and it worked! Really annoying!
Any idea how to solve this problem?
Cheers.
So did you add facebook from the settings sync menu?, there is also an xperia with facebook, which is mostly for syncing your social life feeds, for me in the latest ROM .434 this no longer works, on my phone now just shows No Posts, or maybe I have no friends anymore.

Hey,
Yes, that's what I mean... Xperia with Facebook... I tried to sync that, but I just can not log in! I always get the message "Error. Try again later"... I can sync with normal FB, though. I just Xperia with FB was better as I could also sync calendar an stuff...
I am still on .350 software version of the XZ, as my provider does not support .434...

Sorry I can't help you, because I have not had an issue with configuring this manually or through the wizard when you first setup the phone. Although now have discovered why social life was not working

Is there actually a way to configure it manually? Because I used the wizard as well, but it, as I said, crashes on the final step and I have no idea why! But thanks for your answer, anyways.

Adding it manually via settings and accounts, add account. I would remove it from there, then reboot the phone, then use this method to add it back, and see how you go.

what is this process??
If we remove the calendar apk will this also remove this process that runs constantly??
does anyone have any insight into this before I nand and attempt it??
thank you thank you
also, i never, ever use the calendar...surely its safe to rm calendar.apk/odex, no?? i imagine deleting this as with other things will remove the associated everythings...
im tired...
thank you thank you
well. i deleted the calendar and calendar provider, apk's and odex's.
while calendar is gone-- com.htc.bgp is still active, it is now listed with 'PCSynchronization' right above ObexService.
I imagine if i delete PCSynchronization, Ill be unable to connect to my pc via usb...do you guys think i am correct?
is there a way we can access the location where com.htc.bgp is hiding and delete it? thank you thank you

since my last post...my battery life has been amazing. it was excellent before but now its better. according to my battery status and the up/awake time, my phone goes to sleep immediately as i press the end button. it is fantastic...
anyone got anything on deleting that horrid process, com.htc.bgp?
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Facebook syncing. So I suppose if you killed all instances of your Facebook autosync and perhaps even deleted FB from Accounts & Sync settings, that process would stop as well and not ever need to run.
everything on my device is manual. no background data, etc. as I wrote, the above mentioned process is now listed with pc synchronization rather than calendar (its deleted). did I make that clear enough... I'm a little tired...
edit: posted some screenies...and one of my home screen for giggles...
"Clear Data" of the Calendar also works for the CPU usage of com.htc.bgp

Hello all...rarely post, been here for years though...since this is a relatively new thing, figured I'd post and see what people have to say or if anyone else has the same issue...
I have multiple gmail accounts...pretty sure most people do...I have been invited to google +..woot! but the mobile version of the program only shows one of my gmail accounts....not the one I have an active google + account with. I do have 2 step verification active with my main account...wondering if anyone else has seen this yet or has fixed it? Thanks in advance!
Ok..so..I found the solution here. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=0b4b96e720c902a8&hl=en
If you have multiple accounts on your phone, remove them, join google +, then re-add the accounts afterwards...
they cant be serious....I have 7 accounts (say nothing!) and not sure if laziness trumps curiosity :3
lol, I hear ya...not quite 7 here...but close..(5..>.>...)..my curiosity always trumps laziness...lol

works perfectly fine

Hi
I just updated my phone to mango last night and i can no longer find htc hub in the marketplace (including "HTC apps" in the list) and updating my HTC youtube usually shows a marketplace error. Anybody here experienced the same thing?
initially i tried to update my existing htc hub, but i got a marketplace error similar to the htc youtube app. so, stupid of me, i deleted it thinking i can just reinstall from marketplace. surprised! no htc hub in marketplace! Any thoughts how to resolve this?
if no solution, i will try to revert back to nodo then redo mango update...

and you still don't have HTC Apps?
weird. by default, i don't have HTC Apps list.
but as soon as i sync my Live account, HTC Apps list appears.
maybe try a hard reset? will erase all data on device.
then in setup, select Not Now for Live account.
after start-up set-up, sync your Live account.
that is how i do things.

hi,
to clarify, once ur phone is connected to Zune PC and signed in to ur account, look for "settings" - if im not mistaken - and there should be a section there to show you the list of apps uv downloaded before. I believe i just clicked/selected HTC hub from the list. Later on when i disconnected my phone from the PC, the "HTC apps" showed up on my phone's Marketplace's list. From there, i was able to install HTC hub again. Let me know if this works for u...
it happened to me 2 when i tried to install custom rom however i just restored it and it was fix

I can confirm this works, connect phone & sign in to Zune, Settings > Account > Purchase History, this will list all apps downloaded in the past. Disconnect phone and HTC Apps (and in my case, Orange Apps) will appear in marketplace.
It happened to me today. After updating my HTC TITAN, the HTC marketplace is missing. I tried the solution you wrote here, but it didn't help.
Any more suggestion?

Yes, wait, it takes a while, I'm not sure why but after a while it comes back. Not sure whether it is literally just a waiting game (maybe while the phone syncs with servers) or a certain action in the setting up process triggers it like linking to zune or setting something else in settings but it will come.

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a secondhand S3 mini, which seems to work fine, except it won't sync with Google. I log in and enter verification code but it won't sync downloaded apps, gmail. play, chrome. Network connectivity is fine, auto-sync is on, software up to date, but since I first switched it on 6 hours ago it won't sync google.
Can anyone help?

Hello everyone,
I just bought my new Realme X2 Pro from AliExpress a few days ago, and have been facing an annoying issue.
Although I have disabled Smart Power Saver and App Quick Freeze features in the settings, almost all the installed applications do not pop up any notification. I also have enabled notifications for each app, such as Yahoo email, Gmail, Mobile banking apps, Telegram, Imo, WhatAPP, etc., and have allowed them to always run in the background. I know it would drain the phone battery, but I thought doing these kinds of stuff would fix the notification problem. I did whatever the Realme website suggested and also what the community proposed.
This is my first experience with an unknown cellphone brand, and I have to put it to the experience.
I was wondering if anybody can advise me on a solution.
I have to mention that I did factory reset my phone thrice and also updated my phone to the latest OS version, but nothing changed!
Suggested solutions by Realme which did not work:
https://www.realme.com/in/support/kw/doc/FAQ1106
I would appreciate your valuable comments on this topic.
It's very strange,
I buy from Amazon the european blue 12GB 256GB and I only setup my programs and I don't have any issue in notifications at all.
I use Skype, Telegram, Whatsapp, 4 e-mails accounts and everything work good has expected. I have this phone 5 days ago and I don't have this notification issue.
And is a very boring issue.
As far as I know: Chinese ROM have problems with notifications ...EU ones is good

So go in the apps that you aren't getting messages from in the app list in the settings menu and in one of the options you can select wifi or wifi and data . I had a bunch of apps that were set to wifi by default so I had to adjust that (I just went through and activated the wifi&data option for all the apps regardless) and also if you like use adb to remove Athena package that fixed all notification issues for me.

Thanks for the comment. WiFi and Data are enabled by default for every application, and changing them did not solve the notification issue.
Remove coloros.athena.com service through adb. It will solve the problem. U can also remove other Chinese apps too.

Thanks, I just did it, but it didn't solve the issue. If I close the recent apps, no notification will be shown. I need to keep the apps running in the background and do not tap on close the application icon, which is not acceptable. We close the recent applications habitually.
Any solutions?
In my case it eventually worked for Gmail but Hangout still needed it to be in the background for instant notifications. I have already submitted a ticket to their Chinese bug forum.

Yeah, Gmail mostly shows the notifications, but Yahoo Mail, WhatsApp, IMO, and even mobile banking apps do not show any notification. I miss so many calls and chats because of that. I have enabled run in the background and have disabled the power saving, but most of the apps do not follow the rules. ColorOS kills them completely. I reckon Realme Chinese versions have these issues.

Yea hopefully they will fix some of it with the next update. But on the other hand you don't have to miss those calls and chats. We can still lock the apps in the background for instant notifications in the meantime.

Hi,
Even if we lock an app in the background, if we swipe up, that app would be closed! We usually do it. Realme and ColorOS should release an update for Chinese version of Realme X2 Pro model to get it fixed.
Same issue
I'm experiencing this issue.. I have a Chinese master gray model.. Such a disappointment when I started using this phone. Had such high expectations.
I never get email notifications WhatsApp works sometimes Facebook sometimes messenger sometimes who knows whatever else works and doesn't work. I went through 250+ apps turning everything on in notifications. My battery is set to high performance all the time.
This has to be the worst phone I've ever owned. Whether it's because it's a Chinese rom or Color OS who knows. Would love someone to find a solution
If i find a solution I'll update you

Please participate in the pool. Your vote is highly appreciated.
I'm on the EU version and GMail will only notify me of emails from my main Gmail account, I don't receive notifications on 3 other email accounts that I have linked to the into the Gmail app. even though its set up to do so.
