LG

After the reset, we downloaded the facebook and myspace apps again. Then ran them. They had to set them up again but they worked fine after that. It seems the solution even fixed their socialite app.

Keep me updated...

I thing the problem is a mixture of socialite and the LG Home launcher. I removed socialite and it didn't solve the problem. I would ike to remove LG Home, but i don't know what all the launcher is tied into. I would like to think that it could be removed and when you open your phonebook or dial a number it would go back to the default way that all the other android phones work. Does anybody know just what all LG Home is tied into?

Another Good Question... The LG Look and Feel is just a "Theme" I don't know if it's removable without "Rooting" the Ally... Not recommended. Have you tried just switching to the Android Theme and not using the LG Theme?? Does it make any difference with Socialite?

I had a heck os a time with the Socialite Apps for the first few weeks, but now it has settled down adn appears to be working fine... However it is still an "Open Issue" and I'm looking for answers as to why it's taking so long to update and how to resolve it....

Stay Tuned!

The LG launcher is just an "overlay" and you can go into themes and turn it off for the vanilla Android feel... I actually like having the extra row of icons at the bottom but dont use any of the other LG items...

I installed the socialite apk on my motodroid a while back and it broke facebook syncing to my android phonebook. I had to load a nandroid backup to time before i installed the socialite apk file to fix my problem. I just hope that it don't take a custom rom for the ally to work right, cause i just don't think one will be coming

Just used App for first time. No issues what so ever. Then again I'm not allowing it to Sync contacts either.

I tried socialite again and told it only to sync if they were a regular contact.... It did a little better but killed the battery faster and wouldnt always update.... Can we get a patch that takes socialite off and just lets Facebook use its own sync.... This program is uneccesary (yet blocks one that works) and is giving the device a bad rap versus the Devour with the working Blur...

It's the 'Syncing' part that was causing the issues... I just got a note from one of our Solutions Engineers and he is saying that Socialite is or was patched. I didn't see any notifications on my Ally so I don't know what he meant... I'll get an update as to whether it is coming or if it was patched on the Socialite end.

So far i have removed LG Home Launcher, LG Calendar, Dual Clock, stock email app, car home, facebook, myspace, socialite, amazon shopping and their mp3 app as well, vzvoicemail. Not had the first FC either. I thought removing the few listed above apps would have fixed the facebook sync issue but it didn't. All i know is that socialite broke the sync on my droid as well to the point that i had to reload a nandroid to fix the issue by not installing socialite. I am thinking that if i do a phone reset with those apps removed it will possibly fix sync since socialite won't be there to fubar up the sync settings.

I know there is an update for Socialite I just don't know if it's on the network end or the app it's self.... I'm trying to get that info... For me, both the Facebook app and Socialite are now working.

If you reset the Ally it will reinstall all of the Factory installed apps, unless you have found away around it.

I'm not sure doing a reset is the answer, but let me know what happens.

I just got an update on the Socialite problems that were being seen. There has been a patch put into place on the Server side of Socialite to resolve the problems... Socialite on the Ally I am using is working much better.

I have discovered the the Meebo chat client also seems to be blocked from getting the permissions it needs for facebook chat. According to the meebo docs you're supposed to see a dialog window where you can grant meebo the permissions it needs to be a facebook chat client. That window never opens.

Why in the world does socialite seem to cripple all other facebook related applications? Why can't we remove it? This is absurd.

BTW, I too can't add a facebook account for syncing and ended up using SyncMyPix as a workaround.

There is something majorly wrong with socialite. Let me recap my experiences with socialite so far. 1st i downloaded socialite on my personal moto droid a month back and it totally fubared facebook sync for my phone. I had to go back to a nandroid backup that was made before i installed socialite. Next my wife got the ally a few weeks ago, and socialite has never worked on her phone from day 1. So i rooted her phone hoping to remove socialite from the phone hoping that would fix the errors. Wrong, it didn't effect anything, i removed socialite and LG Home Launcher as well, still no effect on the sync issue. So just in the last day or so, T-mobile has launched a social networking app in the market. I am using the app on my droid and i must say i really like it. So i though, well maybe this will be the fix the ally has been needing, wrong, the app works on the ally, but it still won't sync the pics for facebook! I think the phonebook needs a total overhaul at this point, along with sync as well on the ally. Something in the phonebook is causing sync to not function on the ally. I would like to remove the sync data via titanium backup, in an attempt to reset the sync function back to normal, hoping that by me being rooted, with socialite removed prior to the sync reset, it would start functioning correctly. Could someone tell me the names of the things in titanium backup that need to be wiped to get the reset im looking for.

I was just informed that the publishers of "Socialite" have performed some upgrades on the Server end for there application. From what I hear, you will want to delete your account from Socialite and then add your account back to Socialite and it should work... Have you tried this yet?

Let me know.

I honestly think the Facebook app for the LG Ally/Android needs some serious revamping. I thought the one for Blackberry was bad. This is horrible. You can't do anything. Hope they redo it.

I'm not gonna count my eggs before they're hatched but Socialite is starting to come alive. Updating pictures, contact info, and facebook info. Only issue I'm having is now is that peoples comments to their posts is slow to download. Fingers crossed. I think that a working Socialite is awesome love the interface and how it looks, just need it now to be 100%!

Socialite widget is borked on landscape fyi. Problem Loading Widget.

Socialite widget is broke on landscape fyi. Problem Loading Widget.

Have you updated your Phone with the new update that was just sent out? I'm on the new version and I am able to get Socialite to run in Landscape mode...

As for the Socialite Widget, My Socialite Widget won't load in Landscape mode either... I'll look into it.

Yes I updated my phone and have seen better performance. I can use the actual Socialite in landscape but like you said landscape widget I have only seen it it once go into landscape. Not sure what I did but it did work that one time.

Socialite Widget works in landscape only when keyboard slid open. "Problem loading widget" when keyboard is closed.
