i fixed it by updating my profile. Menu| settings| About Phone| System Updates| update profile.

been working perfect now for about 8 hours.

 

There is no combined inbox. The Droid had it last November but HTC apparently eliminated it from the 2.1 version of Sense UI. It's available in the development version of K-9 Mail.

 

if stock users from 1.5 were to download this update, is it confirmed that their facebook linked contacts won't sync? i kno this is a problem with rooted 2.1 ROMs but is it the same for the official update?

i ask cuz i've seen some official updates from other members here and they can't link their facebook contacts..wtf??

 

when you first turn on your phone after getting 2.1 it will bring you through a setup. one of the setups is for facebook, and if you set it all up, your facebook contacts will be sync'd to your "people"
