Contact sync does NOT work at all on myTouch Slide! Running Android 2.1.
Using Android 2.1 on HTC Legend. Despite numerous updates over a week or more, one old tweet has remained at the top of the list. Even with updates this old tweet has remained first on the list and has always claimed to be from several minutes ago. This problem started to occur during a normal update of the feed using the most recent version of the app.
