Is facebook also having the age-old wake-lock issue? Back when I installed it (Literally 2 months ago) I always had wake-lock issues under BetterBatteryStates called something "katana" even with manual syncing. Probably the reason why I hate the app so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Still doesn't load my news feed. Stupid app. Back to friendcaster!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
The interface was different for a second (messenger icon on top-right, able to post a status update without navigating to a screen outside of the News Feed), but then when I went to post a status update it FC'd and reverted to the old layout.

What?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Same for me as well. Weird.
[Android Apps and Games] king23adrianc:
just a new update for FACEBOOK 1.9

soooo smooth. go grab ur update!
[Android Apps and Games] AlkaDragos:
Just got 2 new shortcuts, a bit of UI changes and the speed got improved a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] keynith:
I'm not to big for the extra icons added but luckily I'm using another app for camera that isn't labeled camera like the one included with the update. Noticed the speed boost too
[Android Apps and Games] ubas90:
But.... Could we un'installazione the old messenger?

ICS contact photos sync?

Now when linking FB to contacts, I now get contacts photos syncing correctly on the Galaxy S2 running stock Samsung ICS 4.03. Before the 1.9 update it wouldn't display a picture (though it did work on Gingerbread). That was the only thing bugging me since upgrading to ICS. I've heard that on the stock Galaxy S2 roms Samsung had removed the ability to sync to FB, just like on the Galaxy Nexus. So i'm not sure whether its due to FB finally using the new API's or whether it just works on Samsung ICS firmware. Anyone know?

Liking the speed boost and the new notification settings.
[Android Apps and Games] dsa88:
And the $1million dollar question for today is, naturally:

How to get rid of those extra shortcuts, cam&msgr???
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
To hide the new icons, use a launcher that will let you hide them. LauncherPro has this feature, as does 360 Launcher. Not sure who else.

Now where's my $1 million? Haha.

Facebook 1.9 is okay... there are some UI tweaks around the app, nothing major though. Commenting on an image seemed a little more straightforward, and the comment box looked different.

If you want an ICS-themed Facebook app, look up Fast Facebook. It was just featured on Lifehacker yesterday, but I got it a week or two ago here on XDA. Should be able to find it in this very (sub)forum. I don't care for the UI but it is faster.
[Android Apps and Games] dsa88:
Heh, AWD Launcher here.... any other tweak??

TI backup cant see them.
[Android Apps and Games] mez90:
Oh this really annoyed the hell out of me.if I wanted to install Facebook messenger I would have I I wanted to use a camera that links directly to facw book and crashes every time I open it I'd install a separate app.

Facebook needs to split the apps out and let us install the ones we want.

I'm hopefully not the only one but I've just uninstalled the app and bookmarked their mobile site in my browser and installed someone else app.

I'll have to use something else to sync photos
[Android Apps and Games] cyberlion17:
mez, you can use haxsync to sync photos if you are in ICS. :)

BTW does this version sync your facebook contacts (with their pictures) correctly in ICS?
[Android Apps and Games] mez90:
Thanks. Haxsync has been mentioned before. I think it'll be one of the first few apps that I buy. I don't want to put my credit card on Google checkout just like I haven't on Xbox or iTunes or my wii yet I can still buy paid content of all of them

Android needs gift cards.

I'm using tweetdeck for fb and contact photos seems to sync with my contacts from Gmail anyway. They don't update but its a start.

I can live without the fb app for now.
[Android Apps and Games] _kolle_:
Nice update, but friendcaster is still a lot faster ;-)

... And is holo themed
[Android Apps and Games] mez90:
Anyone able to answer that?
[Android Apps and Games] avrupali17:
not different
[Android Apps and Games] sidekickingjorge:
I recommend friendcaster also! Bet facebook app out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roumancesoiree:
Hey all,

I live in Chicago and have a GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus using the T-mobile network. Honestly I have never gotten more than 10mbps download and often get less than 5mbps. My ping is also very unstable sometimes its 1000+ or its 100. Is there something wrong with my 4g radio? As a comparison my gf's Samsung Galaxy S II gets 15mbps or better.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Here in Baltimore my tmo galaxy s2 pulls 10 to 12 mbps and my gnex on tmo only gets about 5. Don't think there is really anything wrong with the gnex radio. Its just not best suited for tmo network as good as the tmo branded sgs2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roumancesoiree:
does your gnex show 3G when you are not browsing and then switches to "H" when you are?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Try flashing some radios. Ug--x radios are for north America but it seems a lot of people do better with Europe radios on T-Mobile which are XX--X.

bow chicka wow wow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Try different radios to see if it helps. The T-Mobile SGSII will always get faster speeds because its a 42mbps HSPA+ device, whereas the GNex is a 21mbps HSPA+ device.

This is how it should be. This is how GSM/HSPA+ devices work. It saves battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gab!:
Hi , i recently registered in Xda-developers cuz i found out some updates for my Galaxy S II.

So , my question is how do i know what firmware i have to update , there are a lot of firmwares and i don't know which to flash...

Another question , firmware update means that my android version will change to a newer one?

And finally , reading a lot of post about updating galaxy s II with Kies or Odin , i found that a lot of people had problems flashing the phone and that sincerely scares me.. I'm afraid of bricking my phone.

Anyways , there are my Galaxy S II information :

Version of android : 2.3.3

Bandbase : I9100XWKG1

Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKG1

Clalabeltest_I9100XWKG1

Compilation : Gingerbread.XWKG1

Note: It's unbranded. Also i noticed that in the kies update at the enf of the new firmware information it says (ITV)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gab!:
Can someone help me pls? :/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Check if it says i9100 under battery, not i9100G.

Bootloader Unlock

mine is unlocked with 11W37 xD with no hard brick/soft brick:D:D:D

If i am successfull with my unlock, can it be that it bricks later?

Thanks for ur help, sry im a newbie in x8 xD

but a dev for Galaxy Fit/Mini xD
[XPERIA X8 General] milenkokg:
There only possiblity for hard brick if you back to stock and then relockt-after that unlock again.

Keep it unlocked :-)
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Oh well if you manage to boot your phone after the unlocking process well congratulations and you dont have to worry about hard brick in the future unless otherwise you intend to brick you phone.

Always follow instructions to avoid phone bricks.

No. 1 Rule READ and UNDERSTAND :)
[XPERIA X8 General] - Swift -:
Quick question, I'm planning on selling my phone soon so ill be reverting to 2.1 and Stock Kernel.

BUT!

Once i flash Stock Kernel can I go back to 2.1 then? Or do I have to Lock my bootloader before I go back?
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Its up to you Irish it doesn't affect at all IMO. Well if you shared your knowledge to someone who will buy it then better leave is unlock so that person will also learn bout us. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] - Swift -:
Thanks deedii.

I'm actually trading it in to the O2 or Vodafone shop so I don't think I'll be allowed to tell them its Unlocked

:P.

They're giving me €34 for the X8 which is good enough for a trade in seeing as the X8 is only €70 here.
[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
oh well if thats the case unlocked it again else if they dont know about lock and unlock bootloader. but as soon as they give you the money then it should be fine.haha bad suggestion I think.haha
[HTC One X] mbomberz1:
I need some help from the real experts. I think that I may have screwed myself here on my One X Purchase. I got it from expansys-usa.com. Hopefully this is just my ignorance but from what I have been told by HTC customer service is that I received a Malaysian version of the One X. And that It will not be compatible at all with any US carrier for Data.

Here is where my current situation.

Ordered the phone wednesday 4/18 from Expansys-Usa.com

Received today, 4/20

Took it in to my local T-Mobile and had my sim from my Nexus One Cut down.

I receive phone calls and texts just fine but no data connection at all will work.

I was at T-Mobile for 2 hours as they tried to manually enter all APN settings, as well as talk to HTC support, no luck. In the end I was told I had a Malaysian model and that was the issue. When you enter the APN settings and save them, all it says is no Sim card found, please enter one. But the messaging and calling is connected in the back ground..

I have not been deep into phone tech for the last year or two so I am rusty on everything. What do you guys think, is there anything I can try to do here or is my only option to return the phone if possible?

Why would Expansys send out a Malaysian model? When first booting my phone the only language options are Asian-English but with like 12 different version of all different Asian countries. I get no option for anything in Europe.

Thank you.. :(
[HTC One X] johnl199:
Sounds like a t-mobile issue.

I have the same model as you I believe (asian region model, got "English" at initial startup but with a lot of different asian countries). All I did was go to "APN" setting in mobile networks, click on "AT&T" and everything works fine for me.

So yes, the asian one works on USA networks, but yours sounds like a t-mobile issue. This is of course if you have the same model as me, which is sounds like you do.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
You know even if you had a European model it would only get 2G on T-Mobile?
[HTC One X] johnl199:
That might be OP's problem. T-mobile 2g is so slow it would almost seem like there is no data connection.

HTC One X does not support t-mobile 3g.
[HTC One X] mbomberz1:
Thanks for the replies. Although, I do know that I only will receive 2G. I had planned on this. But the problem is I get no data at all.

It is good to hear that there is someone else with this version and its working on ATT at least.
[HTC One X] phobos512:
If your account is not provisioned correctly for the APN settings you are trying to use the phone will refuse to connect at all. Have Tmo check the plan they have you on. I had a similar problem with AT&T.
[HTC One X] mbomberz1:
I will keep this in mind, thanks for the comment. The one problem is, I cant save any APN settings on the phone, when i enter them, and save, it just says there is no sim card in the phone. So its not saving them or using them.

I found this thread which seems like my issue: Take a look.

[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
Expansys will source the phone from the Asia region because they are readily available there IMO. I ordered from Expansys Australia and they sourced the phone from Hong Kong. And I too got all chinese freaking characters when I booted the phone a bit annoying but not much I can do now.
[HTC One X] wai_lai416:
hmm i got my phone shipped from hong kong and i don't have any branding or issues with it.. when i booted up no chinese characters or anything just ask the 4 language to pick.. but mine was a retail version from HTC in hong kong.
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
Don't have branding on mine too. Just had to do a hard reset and I was able to choose from 3 languages (1 english and 2 chinese languages).
[HTC One X] Sunny lady:
Have the same problem . I have tried many time apn setting manually , I have the same message no sim card insert one

If you figure out the issue , please let's know
[HTC One X] mbomberz1:
Well a good update.

Like in the thread I linked, it was an issue with the T-Mobile sim cards. Only the old style works with this phone. At least for now, hopefully a software update will fix this. I went to another T Mobile store the guy there was really helpful and we tried a handful of simcards. Ended up with the conclusion that the 3G sim cards worked, old style. He had to grab one out of an old Sensation package he said. But the newer 3GG ones dont. I dont know of the real diff but I wanted to share how the outcome was. I am now happily on edge. Hopefully 3G soon!
[HTC One X] Corey L:

Please let me know if you need any further assistance with this. You can PM me directly if you like. We are one of T-Mobile's PrePaid SIM distributors here in the States and could look into this for you.

Wrong, Edge works on 3g and it is as fast as it can be..If you watch some videos of the One x on tmo you will notice how fast Edge is..
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
I bought from expansys USA as well. No problems at all and received the Taiwan build. I know a few people were having problems with T-Mobile and data. The issue was solved by getting the older micro sim card that said 3g, not their new one that says 3gg.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
EDGE/GRPS and "fast" shouldn't be used in the same sentence. EDGE is 2G, not 3G, and speeds are highly influenced by load on the network. 1MB down would be a stupendous result but in some markets is can be as low as 300KB. If it works for you; cool. But people shouldn't think that EDGE speeds are going to be a satisfactory alternative to HSPA/HSPA+. And speeds will vary widely across T-Mobile’s network.

[HTC One X] johnl199:
LOL!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC One X] hello00:
your correct..it is 2g but works as it was 3g..this video will help you to understand that edge isn't slow like a lot of people may think..i had one time that it loaded a page almost instantly..i was surprised at the speed i was getting and still getting..and that was in an area where tmobile hasn't refarmed their 1900 spectrum
[HTC One X] jdunne:
I initially tried using my One X on Tmo here in the states as well. I got a prepaid micro sim from the tmo store and had no issues besides only getting dreadful Edge only. Switched to AT&T and had no problems getting hspa+ with no issues. I have a China made one X I bought from Singapore. If you're bent on using tmo, try a micro sim.

So here's the skinny... I want to edit a .png icon (from the circlelauncher app)

How do I do that? Do I have to pay for an app that has that feature, because all of the ones that I've found so far that CAN edit it are paid... I suppose I could download an aftermarket/cracked apk, but I'd rather not.

[Motorola Atrix 2] ShotSkydiver:
Long story short, I was trying to get the full ubuntu hack working on my phone, and after pushing a file, my phone is stuck at the motorola logo forever. It makes no sense why; the file I pushed was just a revised mountosh script that for one shouldn't be running at boot and two doesn't even affect system files. It seems like the only way out is to use fastboot, but instead of restoring the entire system and losing everything, can't I just flash a stock 2.3.5 system.img via fastboot? Will that boot into the new system and preserve all of my data?
[Motorola Atrix 2] ShotSkydiver:
Alternatively, is there a way to use adb in the stock recovery? I've tried and nothing shows up under devices. If I could do that, then I could flash the CWM on boot file or at the very least do a adb push to save my data.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Yes it will work. Just use the system.img from the fxz and flash away.

However, I have not had success on my Windows computer with flashing system.img using the fastboot that came bundled with the Android SDK. I'm not sure if the same is true on Linux, but you will probably be more successfully using the binaries found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138092
[Motorola Atrix 2] ShotSkydiver:
Manned up and did it. For those stuck in a situation like mine, I just downloaded the stock fastboot recovery for 2.3.5, manually flashed the system.img, and it booted up fine with all of my data intact.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rcholic:
I am running ICS (AOKP?) on my G2x, and have installed many apps. Recently I noticed that the phone kind of runs slow - sometimes laggy when I open such as apps as pandora and google docs, etc. That makes me wonder if I should look for a faster ROM. Which one is the fasted? ICS is generally more resource hungry? or Gingerbread could be lighter and faster generally speaking?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
Go with an OC/UV kernel instead. You can try faux049b5 or morfics or harsh 1904 or 1504 with OC. They are all good in their own sense.

The respective links of the kernels are in the development section.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Anything besides ICS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
Well, there's a few things we need to know. Who's ROM are you using? EaglesBlood, Hellfire, CM9, Team Kangs? And what kernel are you running? The stock included in the ROM or did you flash a different one?

I'm using EaglesBlood ICS 4.0.3 with stock Faux Kernel. I didn't have that issue. That's one recommendation. Depending on which one your using will depend in other recommendations. If you decide you use AOSP (MIUI) instead I recommend Stormaggedon's ROM's. MIUI.us kept giving me force crash errors for force crash errors for a force crash error for reporting the force crash on start up. Didn't matter how long it sat nor how many times I restarted it.

Try EaglesBlood first. I'm about to clash Hellfire ICS with the harsh kernel. I'll let you know how that runs.

Edit: HellFire ICS with Harsh Kernel works nice. Its smooth, no lag, oh and in the developers settings have kill all apps when you leave them. Try that as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Pretty much all the roms are fast on here. Its what you use your phone for and install on it that eventually start slowing it down.

I know I personally favor the hellfire phoenix rom, but asking or saying which rom is the best/fastest is kinda ignorant as they all are the best for their own reasons.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I'm running eagleblood1.08gr.zip by far the fastest to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
Your missing one update. He's up to 1.09 now. Oh and um... yeah, GB is slow. Something I figured out when I made the change to ICS. But, I think I'll humor it. Ive been looking for a half decent GB rom. Might try EB's out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Are you saying ICS roms are faster then any gb rom?
