So I'm switching from the Galaxy S3 and I want to know is there a way to remove facebook photos from
your gallery without signing out of facebook? I've tried to disable sync and other things but nothing seems to work.
Right now I just logged out of facebook for the moment oh and hopefully there's a way to do it without rooting, want
to enjoy the phone a little while before I root.
Thanks in advance ...
Not sure. But in the fb options there's a setting to disable syncing photos contacts and something else. Maybe just disabling sync isn't enough try to find the sync photos and disable that. Best I can do sorry if it doesn't help

For the record, the phone cannot be enjoyed until rooted
Remove Facebook for HTC sense with titanium and your done, not sure what ill effects it has. the share link still works in the gallery
Ive never been a huge fan of the HTC gallery. I have an app called QuickPic and its works great. by far the best gallery app i have used

I updated the facebook app and I noticed that it's not synching my contacts anymore. I tried to go on the account & sync section of the settings and it doesn't allow me to add a facebook account. The option is there but when I press it nothing happens.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to fix it?
I have had the same problem with CyanogenMod for a while.
I uninstalled Facebook, and installed it from market again. And voila!
However, to uninstall it i think you need to be rooted
no problem for that, I just installed cyanogenmod too thanks for the advice. this is a major problem though for whoever is not rooted....
I had the same problem. (search my threads).....
all I did was log off facebook app and log back into facebook app and it seems to be working fine now.
the facebook app isnt really consistent in general, maybe its just me, but it never alerts me even tho the notifications are ste to "on" and its not as robust as the iphone app but its all good it will happen sooner or later
I cant add my facebook account to my phone to allow it to sync with my contacts...
I have recently reverted my phone back to stock from using roms for about 4 months. I am able to add my Gmail account no problem but then i click on the facebook account and it reverts back to the account page. I was able to add my facebook account before but no luck anymore... any ideas
I figured this is the place to ask it!
Thankyou.
I have enabled apps in the facebook page as well under privacy settings and it still does nothing and help would be greatly appreciated .
Cheers
Facebook for android is the worst app I have ever installed, when is not a thing is other, alpha versions of other apps I have installed have less bugs than it...
you may need to update the facebook app before you can add your facebook account.
Facebook for android is terrible.
Might I recommend Friend Caster? Designed much better, with popup notifications and it will sync all your contacts flawlessly. It's on the market.
Give it a whirl. You won't be sorry.

I have just been in the phone to HTC UK who haven't got any idea of how to solve the facebook crisis with syncing pictures in the gallery
and have stated its a bug which should be corrected
I have with a bit of trial and error managed to solve the issue - yes I know this is another forum topic but its important that users know how to do it as its causing users a nightmare
Right first thing
Go into settings
then into accounts and sync
on the facebook account ensure live feed is unchecked
Now go to settings and apps
go to all
search on facebook
you will get facebook and facebook for htc sense
select each one and clear the data and cache
go back and do the same for the gallery app
if you now check your gallery you will have no facebook pictures in it
If you now launch the facebook app sign in as normal as clearing the cache will remove your account
when you sign in ensure you don't sync contacts
now go to settings and account and sync
go to facebook again and ensure the live feed has remained unchecked
if you now go into the gallery you will not be able to see your facebook pictures and it will be restored back to normal for my photos
the only issue is that if you click on friends it wont contact anything as you have cleared the data and the pictures
until htc sort a fix out this is the best we can do
The guy at htc has escalated the bug and it should be looked at next firmware release
:laugh: SOLVED | Don't forget to thank me if you appreciate my work

what i've done is - disable live feed sync in facebook. then wipe htc facebook data in apps. forks fine for now)
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Never sign in to facebook via htc sense. All it will do is give you problems. Just log in with the app and sync nothing.

If you sign in with the facebook app it automatically seems to do it via sense ... no matter which way I have cleared the cache / data and signed in the pictures keep coming back
I am now trying to use an apk which I have found on the internet for 2.2.1 facebook to see if that will sort it
if you look in the app menu for facebook and disable the app .. and then go to the market you have to re enable which then gives you the same issues
it seems like htc have really sown up facebook on the device
ill let you know how I go on with a separate apk I don't want facebook in my gallery and still keep trying to find a way round it
open your facebook account go to Account Settings->Apps then configure "facebook for htc sense" or just remove it then your problem is solved.
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Nope still populates the gallery
In accounts there is only facebook not facebook sense
How do you launch facebook sense ?

Weird it used to work on Sense 4+. Friendstream can't pull any data on facebook when I remove it directly on my facebook account
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Think HTC need to sort this bug out only way at moment is to disable facebook which seems pointless
I'll use another gallery till sorted
Only grumble I have is about the facebook integration other than that love the phone

Same problem here. Pretty damn annoying Lots of junk in my gallery now!!
Maybe the thread title should be changed to remove the "Solved" from it, i catch the title now and again and keep looking only to realize it still isn't solved.

Yeah exactly. Come on OP change the title. Very misleading because I remembered this thread and searched for it just to get a fix, when I found it I realised it doesn't work. Mods?
Have amended it does clear when logged into facebook temp but not a permanent fix
Thought I'd cracked it but alas no HTC have escalated the issue so hopefully fix well get released cos it's damn annoying

How about disabling the facebook app from setting/app and then download just another app for facebook instead of using the integrated facebook app??
think that should work?
let us know!!
I have a stock HTC one
all I have done is freeze some of the apps as per the list on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681729
Sadly I left the email setup to last ( having set up all the contacts, apps etc) and the mail prog seems to be crashing.
I could just manage to set one account at and received a test email, which I could reply to but that's it.
when I open it it is incredibly slow and I cant get the menu button to work , the back button also doesn't work.
eventually I get a message saying that mail has stopped working.
I will try enabling everything and see if that makes it work but I thought I would ask here if anyone had experienced such problems or knew of a cure
thanks
That list contains about 50 apps, including mail...

Not an answer to your question but try Aqua mail.
Much better than k9 or stock.
Hi
Am I ended up doing a hard reset
Added mail accounts and all was fine
Disabled bloat, checked mail, all good.
Added games, checked all good.
Added apps. Checked all good.
That was 4 hours ago and it's happening again
Any ideas
Thanks
disabling apps may result to other apps crashing because it may be dependent on that app.
I was quite careful about what apps ive disabled and am pretty sure that is not whats causing it ,I checked it after I disabled the apps and it worked fine (for a few hours)
The only thing I can think of is one of the apps I downloaded. But I am hesitant to think its that as all the apps were installed on my sensation and the mail was fine
The only apps that required the "non authorised apps" warning were mm tracker and quick office pro so I have disabled them and restarted the phone. I then e mail tried the mail prog
still no joy
the thing is even if I enable all the disabled apps it still doesn't work
I know that I can get another app but that doesn't help my ocd about setting the phone up
after rebooting and loading apps I found that DW contacts was causing the crash
hard reset and re load of all apps except dw and all is good
I have picasa web albums set to never sync through gallery and settings>accounts, Google photos is removed, drive set to never sync photos, and still when an app wants me to upload a picture my old picasa photos fill up the selection screen. Is there a way I can disable that or is it just a curse of android?

Iv a weird thing going on with picasa. It shows on my home screen as picasa but when I check out the app info from within app management it shows as Google+ and it shows the same data as cache etc for it.
The weird thing is I'm pretty sure I disabled or hid picasa but after stock root it popped back up on my unhidden apps list. Any ideas?

first in settings, check for the apps and disable the ones you dont want... it will say disabled to the right of it.
second, i have been using an app from the playstore called nobloat free version and then i disable the bloat this way also...
but i acutally go to the system/app and system/priv-app and delete the unnecessary files (bloat ware or apps that I can get from the playstore, cause i have on TB or MyBackup, then for the missing or remainder of the files I find out with nobloat the other file names and then delete the files also.
This way I make a nice clean Stock Debloated Version with TWRP. and save that for when ever I want to start clean..
There's an easy way to disable through settings but I forgot and have been too lazy to look it up again. You should be able to find with a little Google investigating. When you find it, please share with the rest of us lazy bums.
