Hi all. Usually I post on pocketables Streak forum, but have read a lot on here as well.
I am on DJS 1.6 and have been bouncing back and forth between Stage UI and the Gingerbread Launchers. Gingerbread, simple but very responsive. Stage seems a little slower, but like the widgets.
For about a day my social widget on Stage UI was working as it should. I have a fb account. Somewhere last night between switching internet browswers and clearing caches in system properties, the social widget would only bring up my twitter account, even when I logged in to the facebook portion.
This morning, I went back to the stock internet browswer insted of Miren. I cleared the stage ui cach, I reflashed 1.6, cleared Dalvik, cache. I then delted the widget, went online to fb, and entered my username and password, thinking maybe it was a link issue. I brought the social widget up again, entered fb info, and now it brings up twitter again but from last night, its not updating it at least, but I cannot for the life of me get it to show the fb statuses of others that it was.
I know I did something, but is there someone that can point me in the right direction?
Thanks much!

Hi,
I have learnt that calendar crashes can be solved by clearing the calendar app's cache.
New problems:
I have loaded 5 different calendars from my Gmail. How come all of them are represented by pink colour? I'd like different colours for each calendar, as in Gmail and as the old calendar app allowed. Can't find any menu for this setting.
The phone no longer displays all entries from the Gmail calendars. All my calendar is there, as some upcoming entries are shown. I can't figure out why other upcoming entries are left out.
I hope someone can help.
I have the same issue. (About pink color)
My post (posted in the kxROM thread hoping kx knew something).

I'm not entirely sure if it's the SE layer ontop of the stock apps, but obviously *searching* like everyone says isn't the case - I've tried and nothing has come up working.
I having the same problem also.
But it works when I clear data on calendar.
You may wanna try this, but I stop auto sync first in case anything happened.
Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Application>, press Menu button, select Filter, select All.
After all applications shown, select Calendar and clear data, then Calendar Storage and clear data.
After clearing both data, then launch Calendar. I done these and the calendar can be launched. Then I turn on auto snyc again.
Same calendar problem, unable to fix it until now
I have the same problem.
After upgrading to .435 firmware, all my calendars (5 of them) turn up pink.
I have a smooth calendar widget that shows the correct colors. But somehow the calendar app itself does not read those colors.
I've tried to erase the data from both calendar and calendar storage.
Doesn't work.
I use my phone for business. This app is a must have!
Anybody please?
I've tried the clear data procedure as well, and no luck.
(Turned off auto-sync, forced-closed both, cleared data, rebooted).
I've also tried to replace it with a stock version, I just googled Android 2.1 stock calendar.apk. I know I'm most definitely missing something here, so someone that knows what they're doing fix my mistake. (if its possible)
I tried replacing the CalendarProvider.apk and added Calendar.apk (I also tested renaming Calendar.apk to SemcCalendarLargeui.apk to replace default).
So still looking for a fix to this disaster of a calendar application.
Edit: @Jaydee-S - so if the widget shows the right color, maybe we can isolate the problem to SemcCalendarLargeui.apk, which is just putting Pink for all the calendars and no options to change them. - Devs help us out please
I just downloaded Business Calendar Beta from the market.
Works perfectly and is a good alternative to the SE calendar.
But the questions remain: Why doesn't the SE calendar work and why doesn't everybody experience the same?
Actually that app you posted blows the stock one out of the water in my opinion. Good find.
Now i can delete SemcCalendarLargeui.apk no need to even see it.
omg, I deleted SemcCalendarLargeui.apk by mistake....can someone please upload the apk for me.
Has a solution been found to display the correct calendar colors in the stock calendar app, instead of the default pink that came with upgrading to .435?
Sorry dude, I have the same problem and have searched everywhere, without any luck.
My solution is business calendar app on the 435 rom.
Right now I'm using Trip's MIUI rom: try it out, it is blazing fast and works very well. Use it as my daily rom now. Last but not least: here the calendar works
Before I updated my tab with touchwiz my bookmarks were synced with chrome. I updated the tab last night but my bookmark folder is still empty. This feature seems to be broken. Any suggestions?
I have the same issue.
Bookmarks are all f'ed up with Touchwiz.
I had the same issues as you guys but a simple Clean Cache/Data and Force Close on the Browser application from Settings fixed it. Do that and reenter your sync settings.
However, you may notice, that even though it is syncing properly, you now have to Click on Bookmarks, then Google Chrome, then Bookmarks again to access the folder. It's redundant and quite annoying. That feature is one of the most important features to me and may lead me to taking out TW altogether. =/
have same problem here
syncing takes hours or days ! and they dont sync entirely
too bad we're not able to just import from HTML or JSON
ChromeMarks is useless
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I am still having trouble. After clearing cache and data from browser and force closing. I reopen the browser and my Google sync info is still there and won't make me re-enter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Same here! WTF! Noone else experiencing this?!
I had the exact same issue. Only way I could fix it was to restore to default settings, and I did not sync with chrome. I just made all of my book marks manually. Really sucks. I was also having trouble with my Browser widget all book marks went away. The are all back now after manually creating my bookmarks.
bookmark Sync
Hi I am still having trouble importing Chrome's bookmarks to my touchwiz browser. My honeycomb stock browser (b4 the upgrade) had no problem importing Chrome's bookmarks. I tried clearing cashe, cookies, and form data but still not able to import Chrome's bookmarks. Help!
+ 1 same for me.
I've been messing around with trying to get my bookmarks to sync and I finally got EVERYTHING! It took some time and I can't guarantee this will work for others.
I went through clear out the cache in browser and Google Bookmark syncs under settings>applications. I set up the sync again and after giving it some time (about an hour) bookmarks started showing up. I noticed half my folders missing so I created couple of the ones I knew and forced a sync in settings>account and sync . After a few minutes I noticed that my desktop browser had the new folders and they were empty, so I went into the bookmark manager on the desktop and start moving the bookmarks from folder A (desktop browser folder) to folder b (what I created on the tablet). After hitting sync a few times on the tablet everything was there.
I tried this twice just to see if I can get everything and it worked both times.
Hopefully this could help out others, just have some patience, took me couple hours to get everything (hundreds of bookmarks).

Hi nakedninja42, a question for you. Did your Chrome bookmark folders show up in your Tab's browser too? or just standalone bookmarks?

All my folders showed up. Something I noticed is that my Bookmark Bar folders ALWAYS transferred but not all the links inside. The ones that would not transfer were the ones I had recently modified.
The folders found in "Other Bookmarks" only half would appear, so in my frustration, I added a couple of missing folders on the tablet and dropped a link in one just to see what happens, hit sync and look at my desktop browser and noticed they were there. I had two folders on my Desktop browser (one original and one new), so I moved the links from the old folder to the new one. After that, things just started syncing.
I feel like it doesn't like to sync new links, but after dealing with all that hassle, I finally have them all.
I recommend to do an export of your browser links just to back it up. That saved my butt first time going through this cause I messed up all my links.
Bookmarks are also not syncing for me. The folders show on the tab but they are empty. The sync icon under accounts and sync, google acct, browser appears "stuck." Iv'e cleared browser data, uncheck then check sync and nothing is working. Im just going to let it be for a few days and see what happens i guess.
This worked for me...YMMV
After having no luck clearing data from both the browser and bookmark sync apps I decided to stop linking from my desktop version of Chrome. Then went into the Google dashboard and clicked on "stop sync and delete data from google" under the Chrome Sync section. Then re-established sync from the desktop browser. Finally, enabled in the 10.1 browser and bookmarks showed up. Sounds complicated but only took about 5 minutes.

Hmmm, I've been wondering what the connection between the browser and the tablet. Sounds like the dashboard is what I've been looking for. I felt that so thing between the two devices syncing was something hold back because it needs purge. Thanks for the post, might be the easiest solution, mine takes hours!

Sounded good in theory but unfortunately did not work for me. Same issue where the sync icon gets stuck and the folders sync but they are empty with no bookmarks. Thanks for the suggestion though.
No go for me as well. Hopefully there will be a patch to fix this.
Home button?
I had the same issue with bookmarks syncing but performed the same cache clear as nakedninja42 and the bookmarks are currently syncing. I first cleared everything in the browser setting options, forced closed, then went to the system settings and cleared all browser application contents from there as well.
Another issue...where the heck is the "Home" button for the browser? It's nice to hit that just to go back to my iGoogle page but it's either been removed or I'm blind.
Thanks!
I still have zero bookmark as well. This problem began after the 180MB firmware update. The I don't think I've received the 3MB (the latest?), but I'm running kernel 2.6.36.3, stock rom FWIW. Have deleted cache, unsynced, resynced to no avail.
If there's a better board for this, let me know. It's not really a dev question, but I couldn't find a general 8.9 area.
I'm running stock ROM on an 8.9 I just bought this week. Rooted and installed a few apps. Out of the blue the agenda widget stopped displaying my agenda. Just shows per the attached screenshot. Tapping the widget opens the calendar app and starts editing a new event.
The widget was working perfectly for a while. Note that the calendar app still displays all my appointments just fine.
I tried clearing the cache in CWM, but it didn't help. Also tried wiping application data for the Calendar app.
Well I feel silly. Turns out that the widget displays what you see in the screenshot when you don't have anything on your calendar for the current day. Now that I have an event today, it's back to normal.
The wording on the widget makes it look like it's not working, even when it is.
Leaving this here in case anyone makes the same dumb mistake I did!

Moving to General
I have a coworker who asked me about his Galaxy S5. He showed me how Facebook has used 2.7GB of mobile data alone (5.71GB of Wi-Fi!). He's a light user who reads his news feed and uploads one or two pictures a week. His video streaming option is set to Wi-Fi only, and Facebook isn't syncing contacts or photos. He isn't rooted, and has everything stock; he hasn't even changed launchers. Not a tech user at all.
One thing he does that seems strange is, after he's done using Facebook, he logs out. I don't know how strange that is. I've never logged out. I secure my phone, but not any of my apps. This guy doesn't mind putting his password in every time. The only thing I can think of is that logging out clears the app's cache, but why would it?
I told him to use Chrome and showed him how to enable data compression, but I don't think that's going to help too much.
I checked my own Facebook usage (HTC One M8) and Facebook has used 0.07GB. So like, 70MB. That sounds more like it.
I'm shocked by the 2.7GB, but the 5.71GB is just nuts. Or when you add them together to get 9.4GB. Unless he's lying and he actually is recording video at the GS5's highest capacity (2K?) and uploading hours and hours of it... I just don't see it.
Just thought I'd throw it out there. It's a pretty niche case.
EDIT: I couldn't get it out of my head that he logs out every time, so I did an experiment with my phone (HTC One M8). Checked my Facebook cache. 64MB. So I open Facebook, and log out. Check the cache again — 3.7MB. Scroll Facebook about 10-20 pages, check cache. Around 6MB. Logged out, cache is back to 3.7MB. Scrolled Facebook even farther and got it up to 8MB. Cleared cache again. 3.7MB again.
Similar results on his GS5.
I'm not sure logging out of Facebook and rebuilding the cache every time accounts for 9GB, but it's a start. The man is a grandfather, and during the cache clearing trials, he opened a video of a baby. I respected his privacy and didn't look, but I wonder if he's been watching that video and having to download it every time. That and other videos.
I told him to stop logging out of Facebook, at least to see if it brings his data usage back down. He already had it set to not use background data, and I showed him how to manually clear it out of memory (home button, recent button, swipe Facebook away). I know he doesn't need to and you probably know he doesn't need to, but he wanted a way to "get rid of it" until he needed it again.
