windows live definitely wouldn't connect so i use this to get my live mails directly to my touch pro http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-482158.html, facebook integration on sense 2.5 doesn't work on me, facebook logs in but i can't see pictures , i can read stuff and sometimes it lets me upload stuff, pandora works fine, but i have notice a problem recently sometimes i can't get any application that requires data access although on the screen it shows me that data connection its active, don't know if it s a rom problem im using NFsFAN

That's the exact same problem I have been experiencing. It will show that I have had a data connection active for X minutes, yet will fail to sync e-mail, download weather updates, etc. Browsing usually works but is extremely slow and often times out on pages now since this problem began. Other times, if I leave the phone sitting for hours or overnight, it will sometimes update the weather data and sync e-mail at least once on its own during that time period.
I'm running a completely different ROM than you, for the record.

Facebook integration means you need to log in in the settings tab. Then go to each contact and sync it to your facebook friend. Then it will update automatically.

It might just be the finnickiness of cdma data. Mine does the same thing but is a little more reliable than yours. Try checking things through a wifi connection and make sure your proxy settings are set up correctly. Then make sure your networks are set up correctly for apps connecting to the internet and aps connecting to servers.

I'am from Florida and have the HTC Vogue and everything was working, and now having the same problem as you... MetroPCS is up to something, because my friend has the Samsung Code and everything works for him. I realley think metroPCS is using a diffrent setup on the code form any other pda's on metroPCS. They are trying to force us to buy there pda's like samsung. Yo METRO WAZZ UPPpp with that..... I thought you where unlimited.

the code/smartphones run on a different proxy then the regular phones,

I have that proxy on my phone(tp2) and skyfire still doesn't work, wouldn't surprise me if they wanted you to be on the smartphone plan to get skyfire to work

one thing that i have noticed, sometimes i get connected, trying to get weather or emails, hotmail, gmail,. and gps... but i think its not really connected. a bad connection..

I then disconnect and reconnect and it starts to work,

my brother got the diamond, I also flashed his rom, his does the same thing, and he is on the $60 plan, with international calling...

my facebook app works fine, and my pictures come through fine,

im using tankrom as of this past weekend, I came from NFS rom.. but had same problems with that and other roms... connection problems..

My windows live and other messaging, and skyfire works fine with wifi, but fails to connect through internet data connections... that happened sometime last year before mightymikes last rom.... in May of 2009...

and know the youtube is giving some problems as well, they work wifi.. and not data as well, but I found another version in NRGZ download touchpro cdma forum..

when one of these internet programs stop to fail, use wifi and it should work...

yes MetroPCS is up to something, trying for us to buy there phones.... they say u get faster 3g service with their devices, flashed phones get 1x....

hope that helps..

I've put a code,caliber, and any other "smartphone" metro offers against my old touch pro and my current touch pro 2, my flashed devices load so fast(compared to the metro branded stuff) it wasn't even a competition
