it's pretty clear that you've synced you contacts before even as recent as this year. you opted in.

please explain the other issue you had about the employee number. i'd like to understand that more clearly.
[EVO 4G General] newter55:
Enjoying reading this thread and thought hmmmm.... I don't sync my contacts so I wondered if my fb account showed any sync date/time.

Here's what I found:

maybe you should start following your own advice instead of crying about it on a anonymous internet forum.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I would have if i had been told up front it would be sent to facebook and not the other way around. I guarantee a class action lawsuit will come out of this.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
As has been said, and then I'm done as well as Dirty...

You're right man, he used his "dirtyshroomz time machine" and went back 11 days in time to uncheck that box just to prove a point to you in this debate.

You won man.

That's what happened. :rolleyes:

I guess the only positive about this trolling from these two is that this thread keeps getting a bump so more members are likely to be made aware of this obvious breach of privacy and, with any hope, they can delete this and turn sync off and protect their/and their friends information if they choose to as well.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
Judge: did you optionally enable the contact syncing?

You: Yes.

Judge: Did you read the privacy policy or terms of service?

You: No.

Judge: GTFO.
[EVO 4G General] phistyle:
lol protect your friends information? so you're going to tell all your facebook friends to stop syncing their contacts to facebook also? they'll most likely laugh in your face..
[EVO 4G General] samuel346:
Damn I want a time machine.

Dirtyshroomz will you let us use it?

Nope you guys made fun of me :'(
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
This WHOLE STUPID THREAD is pointless.

Just go to your contacts page and turn the goddamn thing off if you're so offended by it.

All this grandstanding is freaking an embarrassment
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
This is a hilarious thread. You all synced your contacts via a mobile FB app and are now complaining about FB stealing your contacts?

If your going to aue anybody, sue your friends for uploading your number to FB.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
No, its more stupid and "an embarrassment" that people get seriously offended and choose to troll a topic when they don't agree with it.

This thread, much like the last Facebook privacy thread, is here to warn fellow XDA members.

If you don't agree with the idea of possible malicious activity by Facebook well, that's cool and that's your right.

Doesn't mean other forum members don't want to be informed so they can make the choice.

Since Facebook goes and changes things and doesn't let anyone know.

Lack of respect and lack of reading is the problem on XDA.

"Eye don gree wit tapic sew eye troll it to lock"

That should get you a vacation from XDA. Not a reward with what you want.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
The original post was fine; I didn't realize by syncing my contacts it was uploading data to FB too. I only ever synced contacts that were already on FB, and it's not something I would be concerned about it, but I did learn something I hadn't realized before.

The ensuing arguments and one-upmanship definitely was out of line.
[EVO 4G General] Philyteach:
Hate to break this to you all, but those phone numbers have been there for over a year. You really should go through your privacy settings a lot more often than that!
[EVO 4G General] samuel346:
Absolutely agree. The thread should be cleaned of posts by those members and they should get a nice vacation.

If that were policy it would easily clean up this forum pretty quickly.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
No dude, that's not true at all. This feature is new as of yesterday.

Yes, numbers people put on Facebook have been listed in your "contact list" on Facebook for well over a year.

However, Facebook downloading your entire contact book and uploading it to Facebook is a brand new "feature"

If not for the trolling that information, which was provided early on, would have been easier to access for everyone.

Just got the 3d and noticed a few things, its really warm at around the camera on back, sprint network is trash can't even watch a YouTube video smoothly thru always stops to load, coming from tmobile nexus one then nexus s just wondering anyway to improve the data speeds? Beside that screen is beautiful phone seems very smooth as it should be but I really wish to step me data speed up...

*Any way to protect the camera lens Im worried about when I put the phone on a table...

How would I go about using tethering?
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Get a gel case off Amazon or eBay for +/- $3 if your worried about the cameras , also the screen could crack if you dropped it. Better safe than sorry.

to improve your data speeds, you'll need to call sprint and ask for your MSL.
[HTC EVO 3D] Moose8106:
For some reason on the evo 3d, the youtube app is **** (wifi, 3g, 4g) and nothing loads very fast. So I use the browser and go to youtube. It loads instantly.

Oh and just root and install a rom that allows you to tether (Read as:ALL roms here)
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
3G is very very bad... I can't do anything on 3G. Thankfully the 4G in my area is great.
[HTC EVO 3D] Moose8106:
Do a profile reset.I just did a speed test over 3g right now and got 1300kpbs.... I get anywhere from 1-1.8 mbps depending on where i am in Orland Park.
[HTC EVO 3D] gthing:
I also have lots of problems with the 3G, and it seems to be unique to the Evo 3D. It sorta just goes out sometimes.
[HTC EVO 3D] HiredGUN.45:
" *Any way to protect the camera lens Im worried about when I put the phone on a table..."

I use the case from tpu-cases.com as it protects the camera (see pic below). FYI it also fits in the HTC Car Dock with the insert removed so for me, it works and looks great.
[HTC EVO 3D] carlost24:
Wow thanks guys for all the responses really appreciate it, any one notice that if you hold the phone with your right hand the service immediately goes down to like 2 bars is that were the antenna is?, an nice case up there bro how much bulk does it add also have a pic of it on the phone if its not to much trouble
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
The top half of the phone contains all of the electronics while the bottom half is pretty much all battery. With how many antennas this phone has it is easy to block them, but most of the time just sliding your hand down a bit is enough to get a full signal back. 4G on the other hand... it's always temperamental unless you are lucky enough to live in an area that is completely saturated with it.

+1 for the TPU case too, I got one to hold me over until the kick stand case came out but I'll probably end up sticking with it now. If you check in the Accessories section there should be a thread in there with a bunch of info about them
[HTC EVO 3D] carlost24:
I can't even put my right hand near the in a heartbeat lessens the signal bars to 2 smh anything u can do?

(getting frustrating really fast smh)

Cool thanks^^, it may be just my phone but i am tethering as we speak when i send a message the 3g logo turns invisible an I lose allvmy bars for just a sec is thus normal?
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
It may be dropping down to 1x to send it, I don't know why it would need to but if it treats it like a call then it has to drop 3G for a split second so it can connect.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
It just means your in a lower signal area... It happens to all phones.

[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
He's in Orlando, FL. Not Orland Park, IL.

I know where he's coming from. I'm Orlando as well, and 3G is pretty ****ty. I've got full bars and only got .85Mbps down and .39 up. But, my Hero was even worse, so I'm not complaining.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
You think that's ****ty? I only get .3 Mbps... now that's ****ty.
[HTC EVO 3D] jerofld:
I get .3 if I'm lucky. Luckily, 4G is pretty good around here.
[HTC EVO 3D] HiredGUN.45:
Here's a pic of the back of the camera area with the tpu-cases. There's plenty of height above the cameras so that when you lay it flat on a table that it will be protected. IMO, it is as thin as your going to get and it will hold up for everyday use. It was never intended for the high impact stuff so obviously you have to go with the otterbox/Seidio Convert-type cases for drops and abuse.

BTW, I'm up on a hillside (L.A. area) notorious for bad reception but calling and 3G works great, when 4G is available it's incredibly fast on my EVO 3D. As you probably know, it's like that with all carriers, cell service will work better than others depending on where you are. If it's bad maybe you should consider asking for a Airwave/Airvana.

Hope this helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
You have 30 days to evaluate the service. After 30 days don't complain.
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
Installing juice defender has really saved battery life and lessened heat around the camera. At least for me
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
If there really was a serious reception issue, like excessive dropped calls and such, Id expect HTC would address the problem and either push out an update or offer to repair the phone, not just deny or say "your holding it wrong" like another company would.
[HTC EVO 3D] carlost24:
I'm currently on 1.11.651.3 a message popped up saying that I should upgrade to 1.13.651.3 but im hesitant to do so as I dont know how that would affect my signal since I've heard some people say that upgrading their software messed up their signal, any insight on this?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] lun7200:
I got a free G2x from a buddy. phone's water damage stickers are red but he cant remember it ever getting soaked in water. He found the phone dead and then we noticed the stickers. the phone wont turn on and since I know LG or T-Mobile wont exchange it I figured id try to repair it myself. A friend told me that I should open it and clean the corrosion with some rubbing alcohol but I cant find any help online? Has anybody tried to do that to G2x or any phone for that matter? Any help would be appreciated
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
The phone is most likely dead..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I know I'm going to hear some **** for what I'm about to say but when has that ever stopped me.

I'm not going to give you specifics or tell you what I would do but those water damage indicators can be replaced. You can find them multiple places online. After you replace them, its up to you to decide what to do.

Have a good day.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yup, that's how I imagined the comments would look like. I'm just glad you beat them to it. :-)

By the way, I'm glad I kept the G2X. Right now I'm browsing the XDA forum and playing Riptide at the same time. I do have to pause the game every once in a while though. :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
lol I know right... That riptide is the ****. Graphics are amazing on that game. I really think the tegra is a great cpu/gpu combo. Honestly looking at the photon @ 1ghz tegra and a skin vs the htc 3d and its 1.2 snapdragon with a skin, the photon just seems to out perform it in anything.

You could shed more light as you got rid of sense on the sensation. So both stock say bump the tegra to 1.2ghz, which one performs the best? At the same clock speed?

Riptide is way cool on my 55" Sony. I gotta get a longer HDMI cable though, 6 foot ain't long enough.

P.S. Anyone who would receive a damaged phone for free then conceal the damage and attempt to return the phone for a new one is a thief pure and simple. If there were any justice at all those actions would result in prosecution and incarceration.

Perhaps you should make your way to a public square where you can smash the windows out of a T-Mobile store and just take whatever you want. After all, those rich bastards deserve it don't they?

We are doomed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Not to be an ass, but isn't LG a thief? They sold us a phone with software that is horrible. Some of us who rely on our phones for simple task such as an alarm are late for work when the phone freezes. T-Mobile sold most of us a so called unlimited plan, but we get data throttled. T-Mobile claims 21+mbps, but no one has seen speeds anywhere close to that. I guess everyone is a thief. To each his own.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I agree, T-Mo has been less than honest with us. They should suffer the consequences of that breach of trust.

Not only will stealing from T-Mo make it harder and more expensive on the rest of us, but also the simple truth is... two wrongs don't make a right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Cool, I'll be looking forward to it..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
You're definitely right about two wrongs don't make it right, but I highly doubt that T-Mobile will buckle down that much on phones getting replaced especially since they know that the G2x has ton of software issues. The best thing T-Mobile and LG can do is to just make it right. It wasn't for the devs on XDA then we'd be ass'd out.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
All Tmobile does is looks at the sticker under the battery needed for a swap for a refurb. They all get thrown in a bunch and sent back to LG.

As long as it is visibly not RED, you'll be fine.

Sad part is one of us will probably end up with it, lol.
[Samsung Mesmerize] lucious101:
Here is my situation. My usb port on my phone is broken beyond use (literally got smashed in). I had flashed MIUI 2.3.4 on it a few days ago and it was working just great. But now I cannot charge my phone at all and sadly that also means I cannot plug it into my computer to reflash the default system on it. With US Cellulars belief project you can trade a broken phone in and replace it for free. But with the custom system running on it I have little doubt that the warranty is void. Does anyone have any experience with trading a broken phone in with different firmware on it? Should I just trade it in and cross my fingers that they accept it or should I just say it was lost and pay the $100 dollar replacement fee? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Mesmerize] thenumber5:
not saying what to do

but if the handset happens to no longer powers up, what they do

it just happen the broke usb port must of shorted the board

Hello, Just thought I would post my stats using the new Starburst rom with Pershoot's Kernel. Getting great speed and the system runs very smooth but it feels like my battery is draining quite abit faster...

I have setcpu set as "OnDemand" 300mhz-1400, 256mhz when screen is off. Is this battery drain normal? Ran for 4 hours idle while working, then during break i used my tablet for about 15 min, idle another 4 hours and then after work I only got about 2 1/2 hours of use from my tablet before getting the 15% battery warning (79% to 15% in two and a half hours).

Before installing any TW rom and using Pershoot's older (non-TW) kernel with same settings I was getting atleast 4 hours after having the system idle all day while i work (10 hrs), this was with about 40%+ battery left to spare. Please take a look at my stats and feel free to give any suggestions to help me get more battery :)

The performance now is very good, but before TW i was getting about 150 less points in quadrant (2950ish)with the extra battery life. Also i dont let any apps run wild while idle and have gps,bluetooth,wifi turned off during working hours.

Quadrant Score, Starburst TW + Pershoot's Kernel Aug/9/2011 builds (score:3100).

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/842/sc20110810234001.jpg/

Battery Stats, notice the steep drop at the end? Thats the only time I really used my tablet... about 2 1/2 hours, web surfing (14 hours 35min total on battery).

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dseo80:
why is your screen on and awake bar completely full if you only used it for the last 2:30?

In GENERAL

Screen on time 8-10 hours

Standby time ~100-500 hours depending on whats on/apps installed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jzen:
No idea why it says the screen was on, it was not... And I had the unit on but as far as i know there isn't a sleep option so the unit was awake but not being used.

If you know of a sleep option please let me know, thanks for your reply :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] texasredrider:
Yeah I'm still testing this exact rom/kernel combo and there is something up with it.

On a reboot, does the battery level go up? Does it stay up for a little while then drop back down?

Also have you done a battery calibration? If so, how?

I'm just trying to narrow down what could be causing the problem. I'm no dev by any stretch of the imagination, but for some reason I really want to find out what is causing this. It doesnt seem to affect all machines so in finding the simularities of those that are having this issue, we can squash this bug....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ramcharger1979:
I was using this combo and my google music kept force closing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dseo80:
it should goto sleep automatically, and if screen was off it should be indicated as off. maybe something is wrong. im currently on pershoot's kernel as well and have had some issues with battery calibration (reporting bogus stats).

i think pershoot is looking into the issues on his thread.

im using 10.1-Wifi, Touchwiz UX (OTA, GT-P7510)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PhantomHacker:
It's a kernel problem. Try going back to stock or an older version of pershoots.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kayak83:
It'll be fixed today from what I've read.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jzen:
Late last night reinstalled Starburst with its original rom, after my 10 hour work day it still has 95% battery left (after some galaxy on fire 2 during my break), hella lot better than it was yesterday.

I will wait for Pershoot's revised kernel and test it out again. And thanks again for all the devs making custom roms and kernels! Much love to ya! <3

*Stock Starburst kernel is showing my screen being off (when it is off) and my system as not awake when screen is off under battery usage in settings :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] texasredrider:
From what I've read, he claims there is no problem with the kernel, the problem is with the user. We havent calibrated the battery correctly according to pershoot himself. Problem is, I cant figure out the secret to a correct calibration process....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jzen:
Flash Starburst or stock rom then charge your tablet 100%, once your battery is fully charged flash Pershoot's kernel.

I have not tried this myself but from what I have read it works, right now im happy with the performance on stock Starburst kernel, quadrant is at 2300 compared to Pershoot's 3100 but its running so smooth I cannot notice the difference. Going to wait for Pershoot's reworked kernel and then flash it, I gots to have my voodoo!

Update:

Today I reset my battery, and installed Pershoot's kernel. I'm still getting battery drain, used for 5 min this morning and its down to 80% (just browsing web)... Also my clock got stuck at around 5:08am and my alarm did not work this morning until i turned my screen on. After I installed Pershoots kernel alot of apps were acting up and not running properly but after a reboot my clock and apps started working as normal.

And I have to hit/hold the power button like 5 times to turn on the unit now. Going back to original Starburst for now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] texasredrider:
Darn. I was just about to give this a try. Oh well I'll try it anyways, nothing to lose. Just remember all the issues that may or may not be caused by the kernel is actually user error:rolleyes:

Did anyone try the newest version of the kernel? Posted 19/aug/2011.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RMXO:
