I had all the same problems as everyone on this thread, but I believe that the app has difficulty with gps because it seems like when I flashed the gps patch that's on xda, I haven't had any issues whatsoever. It's either that or that I switched to ukb/sense rom Idk just my thoughts

I've got this same problem, and would love to hear of any solution! I do notice that I can load messages while on 3G, but the home page never loads anything unless it's on wifi.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Go into your security settings on Facebook uncheck secure browsing. Log out of Facebook app. On your phones browser goto touch.facebook.com. log in an name device. Wait until it loads. Go to fb app and login. Touch the menu on the left side and touch news feed. Should be all set.

(Do this all while on 3g)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsmitty83:
Alright it seems like the "killall mediaserver" command in terminal will get fb back if it keeps giving you a connection error.its not permanent, but it worked for me ,at least it did on cm10 don't know about any other ROM
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] speedfreeq:
Subscribing. I'm also using DINC2, Aero's CM9, with very unreliable 3g connection on the Facebook app only.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Just a FYI on FB issues, we've been running into FB's mobile server issues for the past 2 months, off and on - on DW's iPad2 when she's gaming via one of the app's online server/FB account linked - periodically losing connectivity & prompted to reconnect - while we're on our ultra reliable 30+/25 Fios home connection. We even got a message from the app's vendor that they're out of resources/access nodes on FB and waiting for upgrade when we had like 4 or 5 iPads running off our DHCP's i.p. address once - with everyone in the gaming mode on a gathering.

I don't believe the problems being seen here are "entirely" related to the custom Roms and/or kernels being tried, it's as much if not more related to the mobile FB servers being accessed. DW was on my spare laptop yesterday playing her online game as she "discovered" it's 99.9998% reliable without losing connectivity or timing out, etc. where as the iPad2 would continue to randomly and periodically lose connectivity to a -55dBm signal.

We don't use the FB features on the DI2's but Twitter is enabled on mine and except for systematic shutdown, does not lose its connectivity and all the subscribed feeds are working just fine - I point the direction/arrow @ FB ...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsmitty83:
I also believe it's on fb side. I've just been trying everything else so I can rule it out as a cause. I don't mind it since I don't even like fb to begin with, I'd rather be on this Site, at least I can learn a thing or two here instead of reading through instagrams and bad song lyrics

I have had these Facebook issues as well. Although, I did notice it only occurs on AOSP roms. Sense roms seem to run Facebook perfectly. I am not blaming AOSP roms as the culprit because I have used Facebook perfectly on them in the past. But, in my opinion there is definitely a connection between AOSP roms and Facebook where something isn't being transmitted properly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FC127:
As i posted earlier though, i was running mikrunny and had the same issues. In fact, andybones stock rom is the only rom i haven't had this issue with.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsmitty83:
Once I thought about it I did only have problems on AOKP, sense roms do seem to work okay. Very puzzling to me....

Ok I have got my Facebook pretty much working on 3g. I used rom toolbox and moved Facebook to system and it has been loading up. It may be slow but it's better than nothing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
I may have to try this. I've been using "fast for Facebook" for now
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FC127:
This worked for me too! Thanks for posting!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] speedfreeq:
This made no change on my device.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FC127:
Scratch that... stopped working...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
Lol yeah i didn't think that would work either. For some reason it works for me once in a while on 3g thru the app. Once i turned off secure browsing on my Facebook settings i could get the mobile site to work on the browser pretty much 100% of the time. I tend to think it has something to do with the fb side. I have emailed their support address but never got a response, big surprise...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericsdeadinside:
Once you get to the point of getting the mobile site to work you can get the app to work also. You need to get the app to recognize your device.

Clear data in the fb app.

Use rom toolbox to change your DNS settings to open DNS. Apply using the mobile checkbox. You can change back to Google after

Open fb app and log in. Name your device. It should connect the first or second time.

Fixed My Issue

Thanks, this totally fixed my issue! Thanks Guys!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dobosininja:
I also did the fix permission on Facebook once I moved it to system. I still get some issues but it seems to work better.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
Let's face it guys the devs over at Facebook are a bunch of poop throwing apes.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Triscuit:
Also if you want to amuse yourself, go take a look at the reviews its getting on play store, you would think the people developing this would have gotten the hint by now...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
Went thru your steps and once i logged back in it worked but when i tried again later i got the same connection lost error. Still have it on open dns so idk.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsmitty83:
The only thing that works for me is when it sits on the "connection lost " screen I run the kill all mediaserver cmd and it works but for how long is a good question, I know it doesn't survive a reboot, but its the only thing I can do consistently to get the app to work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
The facebook app is a pile of crap, It only works on wifi, yet the mobile webpage loads no problem and it's pretty much the exact same thing. It's quite annoying that all the reviews for months now have been the same complaints as I described yet not one of the probably 6 or 7 updates has fixed this issue. They should just remove the app from the play store all together until they figure out how to code correctly.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FC127:
Ok, user ericisdeadinside hit the nail on the head with a solution to this. I copied everything off of my sd card, did a FULL format (not a quick format) as FAT32 with 64k allocation. It will take a while! Then move everything back to your sdcard (though I would recommend weeding through everything to get just what you need). I am now on CM10 and using the facebook app over 3g.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] speedfreeq:
I think fb fixed something on their end... I've made no changes and suddenly (since yesterday) I'm having no trouble using fb over 3g.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] stefilini:
Yeah, my Facebook has been worming flawless the last couple days. Facebook finally fixed it I guess.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bsmitty83:
I still won't go back to the app .I found using chrome is just easier and better

Well done IceCreamSandwich!! :mad:
[HTC One V] chevymeister:
Don't need it.

Math lesson incoming!

Let's say you have 70% of 100.

You would go .7 * 100 = 70.

Lets say you want the remainder of the percentage you would go

1 - .7 (or .3 for short) * 100 = 30.

For anyone who doesn't understand how to calculate percentage without a percent sign.
[HTC One V] Paresh Kalinani:
But then also... It should have been there!

I understand. But still... A calculator should have a % sign. It's the first ever calculator I've seen with no % sign...

Paresh Kalinani please please can you stop asking random questions..... i'm quite tempted to make you, your own thread where you can ask all the questions you want.. reason im saying this, all the actual important questions and answers are getting pushed down and further back.

[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
The thing is that you live on this website and you are asking questions and opening like 5 threads a day or even more. On Q&A subforum of One V you have 90% of the threads.

Lloir is right, all the important threads like "do not do this, it will break your phone" will not be seen by anyone if you continue to open all these threads that they don't even do good in most of the cases. just random things that if you are a little smart and search for them you will find answers. the internet is a very large and vast area. explore it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkSquall:
Hi guys, yesterday i took my phone (galaxy nexus) and appeared this single vertical band of green flourescent. If I make a screenshot from the phone there's not band. Maybe some connection is broken? Or the display? Or should I just restore to the factory settings?

I also tried to reboot it or discharging the battery completely, but nothing has changed.

In any case the device is still in warranty.

I give some shots of the problem with this links:

Maybe there should be a sticky post with a title "The best Rom to use is.." that states, the best one is such and such a rom, or stock plus specific kernel would work and then finally state, the best is to try yourself and see which ones work for you and to stop posting these questions. maybe this should be for all and every phone out there as i am sure people WILL always ask this questions and it varies from person to person. :confused: just wondering?
[HTC EVO 3D] akiradavis:
Truly is ICS better than Gingerbread in real life [on the EVO 3D]? I find myself flashing multiple ICS roms hoping to gain the smoothness of GB but I just can't find it.

I know the features ICS brings are great:

- Chrome support

- Better sleep management

- Better system/data management (cant confirm this)

- 32 bit color by default (cant confirm this)

** http://www.android.com/about/ice-cream-sandwich/

But one thing GB has that ICS doesn't is complete capability with our phones. We were able to make GB fly and I feel since Sprint is dragging their feet to release the update, we will have some time before ICS flies like GB. By then Jelly Bean will be running. It's a vicious cycle.

I am all for trying out new software, I love being on the bleeding edge of technology. However, for example, when playing Max Payne on ICS, the joystick would stop responding or the framerate will drop dramatically. That never happened on GB.

So my question is, whats your reason for running ICS on your EVO 3D? It is because its the latest and greatest or is there a certain feature I am missing? Because I am starting not to see a benefit.

**Disclamer: I read a couple of threads related to this but this subject was never expanded on. Mods feel free to close if you think this is redundant.**
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
I run it because I'm yet to have 1 problem that's not a known ics general issue.

Sent from my Evo 3D on Sprint's blazing fast 3G network with 4G coverage everywhere
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
For cdma phones yes, the 2.17 base was an excelent base for GB roms. Us poor GSM users had a crap base which when even overclocked was probably still slower than the current ICS.. for example low 2000 quadrants and 24fps nenamark :(

I just wish there was a way to use the 2.17 base roms on GSM, I would certainly use it. :good:
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
ICS runs fine on my phone. And I'm easily getting at least 24 hours per battery, as opposed to 12 hours with GB.
[HTC EVO 3D] akiradavis:
ICS definitely has better battery management. However, for me personally, I don't mind having less battery with more performance since I have multiple batteries I can just swap out. A perfect balance is what I look to achieve. ICS beats GB in terms of battery life but I have to give the best performance title to GB.
[HTC EVO 3D] 00mpollard:
Wait until HTC release the kernel sources and we get custom overclocked kernels, will speed it up a little ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
Considering they haven't yet, what makes you think they will?
[HTC EVO 3D] unvivid:
There hasn't been an official ICS release? (For CDMA at least). Generally its been a 90 day or so time frame for source release. We should see GSM source in the next couple of months. While HTC isn't the fastest at releasing they haven't ever failed to release source that I'm aware of.
[HTC EVO 3D] js593:
Disagree with this post 100%.

Even though im running a GSM version, i can tell you right now that the phone is 100% different then the GB version. Its faster, smoother, and runs far more efficient. (ive only got 200 mb used of ram, when my GB version was running around 400-450, and i still have to remove junk from my ICS version once i root it.)
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
Again this is for the GSM version, it may not be true for CDMA phones as i doubt you have one to compare...

I myself believe the fact that their phones run worse on ICS then ours because the same thing was happening to us on GB...
[HTC EVO 3D] alanmv567:
I think for me gb gave me problems with youtube....always skipping in the middle. But going to ics has fixed that. Everything is smoother. Battery life to me isn't much of a problem since I have about two extra batteries.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
ICS runs way better than GB did. side by side comparisons of Eternity 1.4.2 vs inbREDed 5.2 verify that for me in an instant.

apps load faster, menus react quicker, etc. I'll never go back to GB and can't wait for an Anthrax kernel for this.

I do wish that the Sense 4 ROM's had 3D and 4G though, because those things run really, really nice.. *sigh*
[HTC EVO 3D] akiradavis:
Interesting feedback, thank you everyone. This is definitely "food for thought".

Whats your feedback on game performance? I usually find myself playing one of the Rockstar or Gameloft games I have purchased and I feel ICS framerates drops much more than GBs.

I feel that since GB's kernel source has been released, devs were able to tweak it for maximum performance under heavy load vs a stock kernel which would be somewhat conservative on performance.

And yes I do have a CDMA version but input from GSM users are welcomed.
[HTC EVO 3D] xblackvalorx:
Hate to be the one to say it but the second our devices are graced with JB performance and battery life will not just reach the best balance yet, but take both to new levels.

Were in developmental limbo right now, and shortly enough new JB roms will start pumping out, keeping users happy for quite a while
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Not everyone will jump on JB. I know I won't. I have good 4G coverage and want to keep that, especially since my speeds have been going up. and I want to keep 3D. So if those aren't present I'm staying on ICS
[HTC EVO 3D] nolimit06:
I really wish we had a stable build of CM7 for CDMA to play with, htc holding the source on ICS kernels has made the ICS dev basically come to a crawl and it saddens me lol... My old Evo4G had a new ROM out everyday it seemed and IMO CM9 was more stable there than on the 3D. Nothing against the wonderful devs here as it's not their fault htc is being stingy with source. :P
[HTC EVO 3D] xblackvalorx:
Many who use cm9 will lol
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Do not compair roms just on benchmarks... ICS is waaaayy better than gb even without overclocking. Solo many more features in ICS made it impossible for me to go back to GB
[HTC EVO 3D] kylew1212:
I don't actually have an evo, but I've been using an HTC hd2 for a long time, until yesterday.

I was running the latest ics version mostly just to be on the bleeding edge of technology. Their were a few things I really liked more and reasons I wanted to run it because of, but mostly i wanted ics because it was new.

We also had gingerbread roms that were blazing fast and worked almost perfectly. In all honesty they were amazing.

Then ics came along. Many of the drivers were not there for our device and the devs start working like crazy to fix them or write them, just whatever needed to be done.

However even to this day ics does not run as well as gb did. It is very stable, not a lot of fc's but it still has some. In reality its just not yet the same quality gb was.

I think that until HTC releases the kernal source like for the evo and other phones that ics will not run as good as gb. In no way is this in offense to the devs. I just know that its hard to match a companies time and man power when your doing something for free.

In short, unless their is a lot of official support I do not think ics runs as well as gb either.
[HTC EVO 3D] kylew1212:
I agree completely. It was the same with the hd2.

When I bought my phone it honestly had the best hardware of any phone available at that time. But hardware can only do so much... the software was junk ..windows mobile 6.5, it was so slow that I couldn't listen to music and text at the same time. The phone would lag at each key press and almost crash.

I personally know two people that will probably never buy another HTC because of that.

I'm not saying that the evo is like that, but I am saying HTC should wake up on stuff like that. Releasing their kernals in a timely manner and all kinds of things.

The hd2, and the evo are both great phones. It doesn't take much effort from a company like HTC to make them into something great.

I should also say that I personally am highly unlikely to buy another HTC phone as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dnst:
There is some very good input here, well-founded opinions on both sides. One thing i would like to add is that if you talk about the gb based evo you have to discriminate between custom and stock and apparently there are also differences between gsm and cdma.

I ran the stock gb firmware since I bought the device back in April and then switched to ICS via OTA Update. The overall performance i.e. in the user menus and on the home screen is way better. On Gb the spinning of the screens wasnt that smooth as it is now. So I wouldnt say it is necessarily the achievemnt of the developers over at HTC who have done such a great job. They delivered a base upon which our devs here built fantastic Roms on, that are celebrated by some people here with a good reason.

So as a conclusion I would say that the ICS Roms for the evo will exceed their gb equivalents in quality if only the devs will be given the same possibilities eg in the fom of kernel sources.

Battery % Theory

[HTC EVO 3D] despotovski01:
I use ICS since the first leak (May 3), and I personally wouldn't go back to GB. Here are some of the reasons:

-ICS has better battery life. I haven't ever experienced a huge percentage drop with a reboot. My battery lasts almost 2 days (1d~15h) with moderate-heavy usage (2h+ screen activity, music), whereas with GB I could barely get a day of the same usage. I'm talking about stock HTC kernels.

-ICS is smoother. I can finally run live wallpapers and not experience lag, all thanks to hardware acceleration. It needs improvements though. Maybe Jellybean is the solution, no?

-Improved browser. The browser on ICS got a lot smoother.

-...

Although ICS brings numerous improvements, it has some downsides as well. For instance, the camera is terrible. I'm not talking about the UI, but about the picture and video quality. The pictures have a weird pink tint, and the white balance is really poor. Even the LG GT540's camera beats it. On Gingerbread the camera is much better.

[HTC EVO 3D] Mazzstrikers:
I agree too!! I actually like GB way more than ICS. Smoothness is one thing, Fb has a way better app compatibility. Almost all the current apps and games are compatible with GB, but the old apps and games are not backward compatible on ICS. Sad, cause many of my favourite games force close on ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Can't tell about the speed, but I know app compatibility is an issue for me. ICS is great, but a few Army apps won't run on it yet.

[HTC EVO 3D] Wired4Fun:
I have had 1 problem with ICS:

My only complaint so far with ICS is that I can find no way to stop a download if I don't want it. I started to download a ROM on wifi, forgot about it, and left the house to go to a party about a half hour away in the sticks. While in the car, I noticed my phone getting really hot, and realized that it was only about 50% through a download, but now it was on 3G mobile data, and this was gonna take forever. Problem was, I couldn't figure out how to stop it!! There were literally no options for this. It wouldn't slide to clear. I couldn't stop it in the task manager. I even tried rebooting my phone, and when it came back up, there was the download!! WTH?!? Out of desperation, I went to settings> apps > All, and tried stopping all the download services (Download Manager, Downloads, etc) and clearing the cache. I finally had to turn off mobile data just to get it to stop getting hot, but now I had NO data! VERY FRUSTRATING. For what it's worth, I was on CoolROM ICS, but I have noticed this same 'feature' on other ICS ROMs.

What am I missing here? Why is there no simple setting to stop a download??

...and please, BEFORE you answer, please don't offer me your best guess. It is so frustrating to read answers from those that have never tried the answer that they are offering, especially when it's wrong. I am just asking that if you are going to offer a response, please at least know what you are talking about, and hopefully you have also actually experienced the 'solution'.
