From what I have seen, your device isn't registering properly with the Market. Do you have your cell radio turned off?

Is it just me or is the facebook app lagging really bad?

On older versions it was a little faster.

I'm using fasty rom.

Yep I do like the older versions the new one sucks.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mcala:
I believe it has a memory leak. I've seen it climb up to 44mb of ram. I emailed the dev but never got a reply.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nedthehead:
It's an absolutely terribly coded app. It's basically the web interface with terribly memory management issues. It's hit as high as 55MB of RAM usage on my phone. I recommend just making a bookmark to the mobile sit and using that through the browser. It's essentially the same experience until we can get a decent Facebook app

Facebook app is one SORRY A$$ excuse for an app...i really don't understand how they have that many people working and the updates just kept getting worse and worse...now it's just a huge battery hog and doesn't even do what it's supposed to properly...all those negative comments in the reviews and they just lie complacent as if nothing's going on....i swear it's a ruse by Zuckerberg showing favoritism to Apple probably...a-holes
[Captivate Themes and Apps] pickupman66:
Thanks for the TIP on the Friendcaster. that works very fast. now adding to my tablet as well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nedthehead:
One other tip I'd offer is looking into Tinfoil for Facebook. It's essentially just a cached, Sandbox'd version of the mobile site, but there's a dedicated app for it, and it does run fairly fast on my phone!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Boldizzle:
Friendcaster is lightyears faster and more efficient than the Official Facebook App.

The facebook app is utter crap. Way too slow!! Better off using the browser.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
Have you tried wifi or no wifi or both?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lvm1275:
I've tried both. I was able to fix the issue this evening by completely formatting my external sd card via mass storage. I tried to download first with a quick format, and only worked when doing a full format. There has got to be another way. Now, if I can just figure out how to get to. 893 (forever root and fast boot, yada, yada, and I still get errors) and also figure out why after installing DT's current rom, the my apps page in the market app, does not allow me to see my apps, just a black screen.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] raddy:
Hello everybody

People here are hoping that our XDA developers would magically port ICS as soon as Google delivers the AOSP.

I heard that LG is still sticking with Froyo for Optimus 2x.

Only for T-Mobile they released Gingerbread update.

I heard that it was too using Froyo kernel.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I think LG reluctance in not updating the 2x models with optimal versions is because of nvidia.

I think nvidia didn't yet given the drivers for gingerbread kernel to LG.

That is why LG didn't update Optimus 2x to Gingerbread and G2X to gingerbread kernel.

In this case I don't think nvidia would port drivers for this mobile phone to ICS at any day.

In that case, how XDA developers can use newer kernel for ICS port (even if it happens) than Froyo?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Not true. Gingerbread is out and can be downloaded in theO2X forums. Also LG has announced ICS is coming to the 2X and its other high end smartphones.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
I'm on 2.3.3, and have everything I need to go to 2.3.4

All I'm really worried about is my gamesaves... I've made a megaton of progress in everything.

I really want 2.3.4, and I'm overjoyed to have found a way to get it on a R800a I imported to work on AT&T... but I really can't just throw away all the progress I've made in these games.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bornotty:
yea i have the same question in mind.. =\
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Depending on the game, a Titanium Backup of it should definitely keep the saves. I've done it on a couple games and it worked
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
If you just update with FlashTool the saves will most certainly be gone. However if you back the games up with Titanium Backup as mentioned above, the saves should be backuped also. Though I can not guarantee anything. So for starters you need at least root.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
Yeah, I actually already knew about Titanium Backup and figured I'd be SoL without root.

At any rate, I decided to cut my losses and just do it... and I'm SO glad I did!

2.3.4 kicks outstanding amounts of ass! xLoud is wonderful, I got my 720p recording, screenshots will be all too useful (especially for my game list!) I had like 280MB of free space as opposed to the pissweak 181MB I had on 2.3.3, battery life is amazing (I fell asleep with WiFi on and my battery barely dropped 3% overnight) connection is so much more stable... and I recovered most of my apps even though the saves were lost.

...the only thing that's bothering me is, for some reason, all the stuff I grabbed off GetJar is telling there's no Xperia PLAY version. Highly infuriating because a megaton of my games were grabbed for free off GetJar.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
Yeah battery life is amazing on 2.3.4. Mine always drops 3% each night with 9 hours sleep. On 2.3.3 it dropped the same amount in like an hour or two. Lasts long in use too. Don't forget to uncheck autobrightness now that you can!

Can't help you with the GetJar stuff though, no idea what that is.

So there's no Verizon update yet huh...fuuuuuuuuuu that's so lame! I want this update so badly. I'm rooted and all, if I update OTA (when it comes out that is) but unmount the SD card, will it still update fine without harming the SD card contents?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
You don't need to unmound SD card when updating because the updating process doesn't touch it anyway. And if you badly want the new update you can just flash it yourself with FlashTool instead of waiting?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
The update is for GSM handsets only, it would probably brick a CDMA unless you had a new kernel to flash and there's currently no 2.3.4 CDMA kernel available :( .
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
Ah too bad. The 2.3.4 update really is good so I hope they bring it to you soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morphis568:
So I was looking at the tear down of the phone at ifixit and noticed this

Notice the w1 w2 and r1 marking with the holes. To me that seems like a receptacle for antenna cables like on a wifi card for a laptop. What frequencies do you guys think that's for?

i'm guessing the w's are either wifi or wimax but i'm not sure about the r1. as well as if it's for the general radio in the phone could there be a potential way to plug in an antenna to increase the surface area of the antenna to increase the signal.

These are my two cents.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Don't do it. The impedances on those antenna leads need to be very precise...any change in the resistance will totally throw that off and you risk destroying the radio in question. (3G/2G, 4G, Wifi I think)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morphis568:
First. Thank god before i posted. I assumed ones from a laptop on't work but I've got some from an old lg vu that i thought may do the job.

Second would there be a way to measure that? I've got the concept planned out already. If there is someone who is good with this stuff i'd be more than happy to explain the idea further. The other thing is if the way i'm thinking about it is possibly it will add virtually no size to the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] morphis568:
Answered all my questions.

Thanks :)

To bad though. :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dattaway:
I tested the connectors and this is what I found:

R1 - cell radio. All cell communications use this port and the circuit trace leads to the actual antenna is at the bottom of the phone. One of these days, I will find the frequencies it uses so I can make a proper external antenna.

G - GPS antenna, jack hidden under the antenna at top of the phone. There is no opening on the back due to the size of the antenna.

And I am still trying to pinpoint where wifi is from. Connecting an antenna to the W1 and W2 jacks has no effect. I set up a constant scan for fast graphing of the signal. Narrowing this down has been elusive. I have built wifi antennas for years and this boggles my mind.

Large antenna left of the camera and the small one to the right. No external port and had no effect on wifi. Bluetooth? More antenna diversity for wifi?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riggs170:
I have been wondering which is for what for the longest time maybe I will try hooking some antennas up to them and see if there is any changes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
one of the W's for WiMax perhaps? that's what i'd love to add an antenna to..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ppcpirate:
so on a similar topic, whatever happened to someone testing out whether placing a strip of aluminum foil under the cover strengthening the radio signal?

Hi all.

I am wondering if anyone knows a way to use the fingerprint scanner to store usernames and passcodes. My old lenovo laptop with a fingerprint reader did this. Basically you had to select an app and set the login credentials. Just wishful thinking?

I tried the "bag of rice" routine for a few minutes, but I didn't want to wait 24 hours to see if that would work. Found "tear-down" instructional video on youtube. Took it as apart as it would let me (only about 10 screws). Motherboard, camera, power port and some other minor things but that was about it. It was soaked in there. No way rice was going to work. Stood everything on edge, propped up the hair dryer and let it blow for about 1.5 hours (rotating all the parts every few minutes). Put it back together and let my wife turn it on, while I waited in the garage. I couldn't watch. I didn't think I had insurance on it. But, it worked!! Has been perfect for 3 days. :D
