[T-Mobile LG G2x] erosandze:
While I don't believe this story is true it is interested the way search results are handled on my stock T-Mobile G2x. When I do a search using the magnifying glass on the front, or the google search widget, results from T-Mobile show up in the page list. However if you go to https:"slash slash www dot google dot com" and use search, a lock appears in the address bar and no T-Mobile results show up. I have set the secure (encrypted - https) google search page to my home page. This doesn't affect the google search widget though. It would be nice to change that to the secure search as well but I don't know if that's possible.

Has anyone else been having a horrible experience with the Facebook app, force closes, data dropping off etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] defnow:
I had data drop ..had to reboot each time. Deleted the damn app. I just use the browser for Facebook.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Nope. But it's a known culprit for being a huge battery waster. I'd say cut your loses and freeze it. There's better alternatives on the market.

Thanks will try friendcaster.

Back when I had the captivate, the facebook app crashed incessantly. With the GII, however, I haven't had it crash even once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I usually remove the one in /system and install it from Market.

The current version is MUCH better than it was in early 2011. I've only had it go nuts on the wakelocks once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Caliesv:
+1 for friendcaster. I been using pro for a few weeks, way better then the fb app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ElectronicYank:
the app sucks, i just use the online version with a shortcut on my homescreen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
Thanks everyone friendcaster is perfect. Thinking about buying pro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
I have been using Friendcaster Pro ever since a couple weeks after buying my Infuse back in June, and will be using it when I get my SGS2 today. Way better app. The last major update even added a dark theme which made me love it even more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
Facebook app always sucked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
Is the only difference between pro and free the ads?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
I'm guessing. I never used the free one. I hate ads so I went ahead and paid for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
facebook for the sgs2 is one of the better experiences. other phones have more problems than ours. granted i still hate it. it kills the battery, is unreliable with notifications, unintuitive, and just complete and utter crap

How do notifications in friend caster work. please tell me they arent email based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
They have 4 options 2 are email 1 is push and 1 is frequency. Push is working great.

The facebook app on iphone is a joke. If you try to view a picture from someone 50% of the time it won't load the same picture you clicked on, and when it does load the right one and you comment on it, it leaves the comment on a completely different picture.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
^ I too am using push and it works quite well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
Wow I buy friendcaster pro and now the Facebook app gets a very nice facelift.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
What's new about it? don't have it on my phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:

Its worth a try.

Did you guys try the new Facebook update at the Android Market? I have just download it and they have done something good with it. Way better than it was before.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
It doesn't seem to be. I'm curious if notifications will actually work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
Nope still no push notifications. Sucks.

Update-- push is working after I cleared friendcaster from Facebook applications in settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Switched to friendcaster. definitely a bit of a learning curve. but it also has a ton more features and I think overall it is the better app. Without a doubt at least. I can say its less of a battery drainer for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
Yeah I downloaded facebook when I saw they updated it. Still don't work worth a crap IMO, sticking with friendcaster
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
notifications

Push notifications are no longer working in the official facebook app or friendcaster. refresh polling is working but that is such a battery killer. Anyone having similar issues or have suggestions? If a mod reads this can you please move this thread to themes and apps please.

Verizon Galaxy Nexus landing in Best Buy on December 11th?

The release dates we've been hearing for the Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus have been all over the map. The latest rumors had it pegged for December 8th, and that still may be true for official Big Red shops, but now a source inside Best Buy is telling us the big box electronics retailer won't have them in stock until the 11th. The image above, supposedly taken from a Best Buy inventory system, lists the SCH-i515 as hitting the stock room on December 11th of 2011. What it doesn't list, however, is a street date. The phones could go on sale that day, or the next or a week later -- it's really all just guesswork without an official announcement. While the photos certainly seem legit, there are a few discrepancies that give us pause. Particularly, the lighter weight and thinner profile than what is listed on the Google specs page -- 9.34mm versus 9.47mm and 140g instead of 150. But, we're not writing this off as a fake just yet.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
You think this is legit? All I know is that I'm tired of waiting. Seeing rumored dates come and go is discouraging. I was definitely hoping for early to mid November release.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justsayinbro:
Honestly, I don't know what to make of it all. I can only hope that VZW is urging Samsung to make some changes for the better. For instance, just like the US version will have LTE, a bigger battery, and a different color, maybe we're getting a revamped version altogether. Super AMOLED+ HD screen with full RGB? SD Card? TI OMAP 4470 w/PowerVR SGX 544? This is all very wishful thinking :D. Ha ha!

VZW is so hush hush about everything. I'd just like to have something concrete to go on.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
I played witj the rezound last night and was not that impressed. Music was nice, but the sense 3. 5 was laggy like on my dinc. I can upgrade the 29th and actually thinking of a slightly older cheaper phone that has good development established. No way will i drop $300 on a phone, its ridiculous.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
That's unacceptable for a phone with that good of hardware. I think the nexus will have great development for it but its 300 too. Inc2 or tbolt for you maybe?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justsayinbro:
There are so many bloatware apps loaded on the Rezound, it's not even funny. My RAM would actually get down to as low as sub 100MB at times. That would cause the phone to become sluggish. After killing everything off, it was as fast as all get up. Once the bloat slowly started to repopulate, the cycle repeated. I can only imagine how terrible the display model would perform after being hammered throughout the day.

The major problem for me was that the preloaded apps on the Rezound were very intrusive, and wouldn't play nice. Either I could deal with a less than stellar amount of RAM (out of 1GB), or try to free some up and enjoy the phone. I ended up spending so much time killing unwanted background apps, only to have them start back up. Of course, that turned into a battery drainer. I truly understand now why 3rd party task managers are pretty much useless nowadays.

I just couldn't deal with it anymore. The temp root wasn't ideal, mostly hit or miss (no fault of the dev). If it worked, in the middle of getting the system set up just the way I like it, temp root would just stop working. Reboot, try again. Not pleasant. So, I said forget it and returned it. However, once the Rezound gets s-off & permanent root, I'm sure it'll live up to its name. Until then...

Thanks Verizon! You took an otherwise awesome device and ruined the experience. You should be ashamed, but you're not. Instead, you're trying your very best to ruin a pure Google phone experience as well. You've already forced BackUpManager & My Verizon apps onto the GNex, one of which consumers are very capable of downloading if they want it. To top it all off, you've delayed the release date into dangerous territory. After a certain point, lots of people are going to just let it go.

Hi all,

Having an issue downloading anything from the android market on 3G. 3G works for everything else besides downloading from the market (browsing, email, sync, etc).

When I switch to wifi, I can download from the market perfectly fine.

I've tried a friends SIM with a different carrier, and it DOES work over 3G.

Logcat of the issue happening From what I can tell the error starts around line 50, but I included the full log in case it helps.

I'm not much of a developer so I'm just trying to determine why exactly it's happening, as Android simply spits out a pop-up with the useless message:

[App name here] could not be downloaded due to an error.

I have a friend on the same carrier with a Nexus S and she can download apps from the market fine. Haven't been able to test her SIM in my phone yet though.

I've found some others with a similar issue (although not restricted to only happening over 3G): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5a31588b6f655e89&hl=en

None of the solutions there helped though. I've cleared market data, wiped, factory reset, tried different roms, etc.

I'd really appreciate any help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vivanshah:
i'm having the same problem - using a galaxy nexus on tmobile. haven't had the change to try on wifi yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
Glad I'm not the only one...

By searching pastebin, I've found a few others that pasted their logcats with the same issue, but I can't find wherever they posted it to see if a solution ever happened.

One solution I found was to delete / rename the .android_secure folder on the "SD" card, but I see that folder on my phone. I know dotfiles are hidden by default but I'm showing hidden files and I don't even see .android_secure from adb shell.

I'm on Mobilicity in Canada, which also uses AWS bands, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
I don't like bumping, but I still have this issue and was hoping someone could help out.

Sucks only being able to download apps over wifi.

I saw Josh Topolsky from The Verge has been complaining about this issue on twitter the last couple days.

www.twitter.com/joshuatopolsky
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
I've tried everything to fix it, tried different roms, kernels, wiping, factory reset, different SIM cards, nothing will fix it.

The 403 error indicates that it's Google's servers that are forbidding the connection...but I see no reason why they would, and it's not like I can change the IP address of what my phone is being assigned by the 3G towers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majik8ball:
Everthing was fine on stock untill i flashed revolution hd 1.3.1... I had the same problem with market but for some reason i enabled wifi and started downloading stuff from the market...then i turned it off and magic it worked thru att 3g...

I hope this temp solution might help you guys out or maybe it just worked for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hazure:
Ditto

I'm facing the same issue with a Galaxy Nexus (bought from Virgin) on Mobilicity in Toronto: market works on wifi, but not on 3g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] regorsnas:
I'm having this problem too. With Orange in Spain.

But is not a constant problem. Sometimes works fine, and another ones not. When the error comes out I try again several times untill it works. If doesn't I whait to have Wifi.

But as I said it isn't always. But some type of bug is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayclapp:
I got the Galaxy Nexus yesterday from Virgin Mobile and using it with my Telus SIM and Android Market downloads dont work using the mobile network but switch to wifi I can download from Market. I've tried everything you mentioned as well and still no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkh786:
I have noticed some delays in downloading but I am pretty sure it is becasue of the "little" 10 Billion Apps promotion thats causing the issues.. the market must be seeing a lot more traffic than it can cope with.. servers must be over loaded!

Try market at off peak times (worked for me)!

This theory syncs quite well with the 10 Billion Apps promotion.. just a thought! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
Unfortunately that isn't the reason. It's definitely something more serious / buggy than simply too much traffic. It's been going on for almost 2 weeks now, well before that promotion even started.

Anyone feel like pulling a logcat and seeing if it matches up with mine? I'd suspect it does (403 Forbidden errors).

It basically boils down to Google's servers rejecting the connection for one reason or another. 403 error = The server is connectable, but knowingly refused the connection. It's something on Google's end, but I don't understand why certain devices are being rejected while others aren't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayclapp:
Went to apn settings and removed the proxy and now i can download from market over celluar
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabhw:
Just wanted to confirm your fix worked for me jayclapp!

Updating the OP with the fix, in case anyone stumbles across the same issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dimer81:
Bumping up the thread but i believe it's for a good reason.

I had the same problem with I9100 after upgrading to ICS from GB. Talked to Google play support, their solutions weren't helpful (erasing cache and stuff) and they said it's a carrier problem. I used another SIM from the same carrier and it still wasn't working....

So.... Stumbled on this thread, erased the proxy and now it's working!!!

So, i'm bumping this thread so it will perhaps show up in google in a higher search position and to say thanks to the OP (besides the thanks button) :D

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apple85:
Hi,

I recently purchased the asus Transformer and it is currently running at honeycomb 3.0

However I don't know whether to update to 3.1 (and 3.2) or keep it as it is and wait and see how good the 4.0 ice cream sandwich update is (when it gets released)

I don't know much about the 3.1 update but I keep on hearing the horror stories with the transformers version (is it still the beta version or is it now the official 3.2 update?) of the 3.2 update (such as huge battery life reductions (though that may be associated to the keyboard dock which I don't have) and the asus crashing and even dying on you?!?) though there does seem to be useful benefits such as the Compatibility zoom for fixed-sized apps which would be useful.

Anyways - question is is it best to stick with 3.0 (and wait to see what ICS is like) or should I upgrade to./download 3.1 or 3.2 onto the transformer?

Advance Thanks for the advice
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyskmaster:
The reason you see these horror stories is because it happens to a handful of people and they post it online (here). You never hear the majority telling you that they had absolutely no problems updating because that would seem pointless. I would upgrade because there is a chance that only those who are on 3.2 (or 2.3.5 if on a phone) can be directly upgraded to ICS.

Oh, and if it helps, between 3.0 and 3.2 upgrades, I have goten: much much better home screen performance (as it is now hardware accellerated as of 3.2) far less force closes, significantly better battery life (with or without the dock) and an extreme improvement in wifi performance. These updates also update the Asus stock apps and even add a few more such as Netflix(I think that was included) and, well, not much else. Oh, and in verson 3.2, you get the new marketplace which is cleaner, faster, and all around better, then what you have now.

Don't be scared to update. There are WAY scarier things out there and even if you DO brick your transformer, you can unbrick it with ease as Nvdia released tools that let you do it. Trust me, the benefits of it FAR exceed the risks (which are few and far between)

I hope this helped :)

Today I have noticed that my G2x is moving from NO SIGNAL to YES SIGNAL very fast. I was also noticing that this was effected by the way I held the device.

During one call it dropped a call 3 times in a row!

Scary stuff, as I am new to the G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Yes, but LG and T-Mobile don't care... reception is honestly the only complaint I have about this device. I have an app that logs signal loss, and it loses signal multiple times per hour for 1-2 seconds each time, even if it is just sitting there not being held. My old phone did not do it.

Hi,

I am using NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a rom on my HTC HD2. I had some problems with my battery, so i just bought brand new battery. But in spite of it shows for couple minutes that it is charging (but battery level is not increasing), it stops charging suddenly. Now its %38 and decreasing, i can not increase it. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

(By the way i can not charge it when phone is off due to the rom i guess.. When i plug the cable, phone is starting to work.)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wynand32:
Well, I got the Samsung dock, and as much as I like the E4GT, the dock is terrible. Here's my experience:

1. There's a ton of line noise when the phone is docked but nothing is playing, just like with the Epic. I'm using the OEM charger, but that's not the problem--using the same charger, the Photon's car dock is absolutely silent. Samsung must be using some cheap electronics in this thing, and it's simply horrible. (Sorry for venting, but seriously...)

2. The software isn't nearly as seamless as the Photon's either. First, on the Photon, when you dock an app starts that essentially takes over the home button. That means you can move back and forth between the app and the home screens easily. On the Samsung, it seems like once you leave the Vlingo app to, say start a radio streaming app, you can't get back to the dock mode. At least, not without unplugging/replugging the dock connector, but that's extra wear and tear. If I'm wrong about this, please let me know.

Then, the Photon app allows for 4 custom apps to be assigned. That provides a great deal of flexibility, and again it's easy to go from one app to another and then back to dock mode.

Overall, the Samsung car dock experience is nowhere near the Photon's. Motorola really did a great job with this, and Samsung makes it look like they gave actually using the phone in the car zero thought.

What's everyone else doing to make this experience more usable? I'm still choosing between the Photon and the E4GT, and the car dock definitely is a mark in the Photon's favor.
