[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] escl8r:
Security Policy Restricts use of Camera

Okay, I know the device error was different but the answer you gave the other guy helped to fix me. After I rooted the phone, I was getting the error when I click on Camera. I went into Settings/Security/Device Admins and lo and behold, I found where"Secure Settings" now had the power to control my camera access. After deactivated it, my camera worked again. Strangely though, I reactivated it again, expecting it to restrict access, but the camera now works with "Secure Settings" activated. Thank!

Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks in most to you and the XDA Community ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28984095#post28984095 ) I PRESENT TO YOU...

THE WORST APPLICATION AWARD WINNER IS......

THE FACEBOOK APP!

Why you may ask when compared to some other poor apps? Well here is my reasoning and I would love the hear yours :P

The Facebook Application for Android has been around for a very very long time now, since at LEAST Android 2.0 and through all this time Facebook and Android have been advancing with more functions and features at a faster rate then we can keep up to. Facebook claims to have some of thee best programmers and coders to offer, yet they problem is instead of fixing the issues on their applications and website they look over these and add new features, and break or "rethink" old ones. There once was a time when Facebook chat was reliable, and when people could easily understand how things worked yet now? Facebook is slowly becoming a mess.

I don't mean to say I hate Facebook, because though it isn't the best (or better then Google+) it is still decent and mostly enjoyable on a computer. The phone app however? It has seriously pained me to use. Back when I didn't know about alternate apps for Facebook, I would often AVOID checking and updating my Facebook thinking "OH I SHOULD SHARE THAT PICTURE.... But wait that'll take forever.... nevermind".

Facebook should think more about this issue... and they should take all their employees and tell them "Work on the website ALONE" then Facebook should come over to XDA Developers, and hire some very talented, and smart app developers, who are UP TO DATE on Androids features, and make a application that you should expect from a multi-billion dollar company.

What do you guys think? Any bad stories from the app? Do you think it will ever get better??

(PS: I know worse apps exist in the market and online, but this is partly a joke, but most importantly is that Facebook is a massive social network that should have MUCH better an app)
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
The app sucks I agree
[Nexus S General] sdhanjal15:
Used to go on Facebook a lot on iOS. But then when I moved to android and saw that Facebook was a joke I pretty much stopped checking it.
[Nexus S General] wviegas:
I use friend stream from sense... The Facebook app use 35mb of ram when used...
[Nexus S General] l2hbs:
I use Flipboard instead.

(I seldom post on Facebook)
[Nexus S General] Billchen0014:
FACEBOOK SUCKS!!! It is one of the worst apps ever! with so much cash, fb is really lazy at coding apps, check out Google+, much better experience.
[Nexus S General] alien_x:
Yep! Facebook app totally sucks. I used friendcaster a lot, its good n very fast but now I left facebook permanently bcoz of awesome google+ app :)
[Nexus S General] Kitch16:
The Google+ app just blows the Facebook one out of the water, shame people haven't learnt how good of a social network Google+ is. Facebook would end up like Myspace and Bebo if people weren't so scared of change.
[Nexus S General] osterizerblender:
I agree
[Nexus S General] jbruenig:
They should just buy out Friendcaster and make it their offical app...
[Nexus S General] chronophase1:
The only problem with 3rd party apps is you don't have access to friend's posts who have their privacy settings set up differently. They won't show up in your news feed. The mobile site OK, but still kinda sucks in terms of use. The reply box has become extremely buggy,never autocompletes words, capitalizes Is or makes contractions properly. It's a friggin joke, and I can only imagine how awful the app is by the responses given in this thread. I've heard the iOS one isn't too great, either. I think part of the problem is they are too focused on the desktop experience due to ads and a bunch of other stuff(half the time it doesn't load my feed properly on Chrome). I've started browsing G+ which seems to have improved greatly since I got the original invite. Sucks more of my friends aren't on it. Now I just use FB to coordinate events with people. haha.

They changed and many migrated to FB. It just seems whatever is trendy at the time is what people go for. A lot of people don't even know what G+ is, sadly. They're pushing a few commercials here and there and I know a TON of people have GMail accounts, but barely know how to navigate through the menus to find it, even though it's right there in the corner. Only time will tell, I suppose.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] edwardng:
What is the major difference between Linux kernel v3.1.10 vs 3.0.30? :confused:

What is the hindrance for us to push to latest version?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bevanweiss:
I don't have any direct experience in regards to the 3.1.10 vs 3.0.30 issues, however one thing that you have to keep in mind is that the whole device kernel is quite a complicated 'beast'.. so pulling in all the upstream changes from the main Android kernel may well cause some additional headaches with particular drivers (or just general hacks to get things working) that are specific to our phones.

The developers are still playing a catch-up game in regards to ICS, however I'm sure once this has been seated down a little more then they will move onto JellyBean also. I believe WildChild is already pushing in this direction. It all just takes time..

If you wanted to get on the tools (get the source, pull in the upstream changes, compile and test) then none of the developers would mind that in the slightest :D I'm also sure that none of the other users would mind either :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkc6196:
Hi! I just bought a used HTC Hero Sprint for my sister from my friend who rooted it. I'm trying to unroot it before I give it to my sister. I'm an owner of a rooted Samsung Epic 4G so I know about rooting and all that. However, the terms used are sort of different, such as RUU. I have no idea what that is since in Samsung phones, we use Odin to unroot. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions on how to unroot this phone with a stock rom with download links to files? Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shelnutt2:
Here is a link to the RUU. This isn't the latest release by sprint but second to last. The last release only removed the ##DIAG# menu from the dialer and fixed the exploit used to gain root.

Might i ask why you want to unroot the phone though? WHy go back to eclair (2.1) when you can run cm 7.2. It's faster, more stable and newer.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkc6196:
Well, it's for my sister and she doesn't know anything about rooting and so on. I think it's best to just leave it as stock. What do I do with the RUU? It will unroot the phone and give me a stock rom, yes?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shelnutt2:
Sorry forgot to give directions. Just plug the phone into the computer, and run the .exe linked, then follow the on screen instructions and it'll flash everything and you're phones back to stock.

With cyanogenmod 7(.2) you don't ahve to know anything about rooting or what not. THe phone just "works". Overall it'll be a much better experience for her. Just install the stable 7.2 for her and then she'll be good until she gets her next phone.

I understand your reservations about running cm7 instead of the stock rom for her. But run cm7 and install a few apps. Then restore it to stock, install a few apps and it's a night an day comparison.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkc6196:
Okay. I think it's already on CM7. I'll try it out for comparison with the speed and all. Thank you for all your help!!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkc6196:
Well. let's say I decide to go back to CM 7.2 because the stock is way too slow. how do I root the phone and what is the most stable version of CM out there for HTC Hero CDMA??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shelnutt2:
Easiest way is to do the following:

Root it with z4root

Install rom manager

Flash cwm recovery in rom manager.

Download cm 7.2, it's the latest stable release.

Download gapps.

Also download the eng-spl for hboot (note: this is optional but it's one small extra step that helps in a rainy day).

Reboot into recovery, power on + hold home key boots to recovery. In recovery, wipe data/cache, flash hboot from zip, flash cm7.2 from zip and flash gapps from zip. Reboot and you phone is brand new in cm7.2 :cool:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkc6196:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! :D I really appreciate it. I decided to just reflash CM 7.2 since it is stable and gingerbread. Thank you! :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkc6196:
Wait.. I'm not gonna unroot my phone at all. Does that mean that I should still flash the hboot thing even if I'm just flashing the CM 7.2 rom over what I have currently? I have a CM rom flashed but I don't know what version.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkc6196:
Nvm. I did it. Thank you. :D

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentose457:
If you don't use a launcher that rotates, you can use Wallpaper Wizardry from the Play Store to set the wallpaper to use the whole 1280x800 image. If you allow your launcher to rotate to landscape the image will be cropped and have black bars on the sides.

Not for another year or so... tower could be down...

So they a completely saying screw you to all the so called 4g phones even though for what 2 years we have been paying a extra 10 bucks per line?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
What? First off iPhone has no 4G and they pay the premium data charge too. You don't like it go pay $50 for the 5GB cap on AT&T. Second off Wimax will be around until at least 2015 with the current Clear unlimited use contract Sprint has. They may negotiate a usage contract after that if there are still enough Imax users out there. Sprint is putting all there efforts into expanding their 3G and 4GLTE.

If you have no 4G today op it is most likely a tower down for repair or upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] Tomcat5:
It was being wonky in Baltimore,Maryland yesterday. On a somewhat related note, how far is the range of a WiMAX tower? When I get WiMAX on the highway, I'm assuming through highway towers, 4G jumps in and out to the point where it's better to turn it off and let the retarded phone jump from 3G to 1x over and over because 4G drops to 3G at least every minute and can't be guaranteed to come back. I wouldn't really mind if they killed WiMAX towers. I don't get it at home and from what I can tell it's complete **** for people who can get it. I went to NYC for a weekend expecting the city to be blanketed in nice 4G goodness. Speeds were about 1.5x 3G and coverage was horrid.

[Epic 4G General] bstevens23:
Sounds like Sprint service in MN. Praying LTE turns it around and their promised 3G speed increase gets here sooner than later. My brother gets 25 mb down on VZW LTE.
[Epic 4G General] flastnoles11:
I get 9 mb down consistently on 4g.. some spots are horrible, but others get prety decent speed on wimx...
[Epic 4G General] frostedunit:
I can see a Wimax tower from my house, about 1000' away. Still have to go outside to use it and only get about 7 down.

I walk on toilet paper cuz I'm the s###!

I wouldn't call 7 down great, but I wouldn't call it bad either.. ;)
[Epic 4G General] frostedunit:
Wouldn't call it the 23 my buddy gets with Verizon.

I walk on toilet paper cuz I'm the s###!
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Wimax's maximum potential is 10 mbs... so 70% of the maximum potential isn't great? ;)
[Epic 4G General] frostedunit:
Was unaware that Wimax only went to 10. If the numbers between Wimax and LTE were as different then as they are today, I can only wonder if Dan Hesse knows how to read.

I walk on toilet paper cuz I'm the s###!
[Epic 4G General] Tomcat5:
Dude! That's slow compared to my experience with Verizon LTE. My city is fortunate to have steady cell signal but otherwise it's a small hick town that carriers don't care about. My VZW friend get 30 to 40 Mbps down on LTE. Closest WiMAX is an hour and a half away.

And... Why the hell would Sprint sign a contract with a technology that makes out at 1/4 of the technology Verizon was working on? Or is it that the bastards cap us?

Sent from my Phone with An App
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
So back to Wimax being shut down...

Sprint will have wimax working for the life of your phone. Even if they and Clear both switch to LTE, and even if they have to extend their contract with Clear to do it.

Just look at how long they kept iden functioning, long after they stopped selling the phones. Wimax will be very much the same.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I have got pretty decent 4G speeds in Baltimore, but not so much in DC.

Still, it has never been a real concern for me, as I use WiFi at the 2 places I go most, and 3G has actually been rather stable for me in both DC and Baltimore.

Like so many have said... its all... location, location, location...
[Epic 4G General] orlzzt:
You are correct, DC. I travel extensively for my job, and I see major differences in each city. And, the Epic being such a complex unit, it probably varies phone-to-phone. I'm gling to Cleveland today and tomorrow, and I have historically always had the fastest and best 4G connections in Cle. Likewise, in New York, I sputter and strain on 4G. Home in Orlando, its 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off.

If they are just turning off the lights on iDEN now, I'll bet we see WiMax for several more years. Think of all those OG Evo's they sold on opening day in June 2010.....
[Epic 4G General] Gavisann:
Ha, it's funny you mention it, but I noticed a stronger 4G connection in Tampa yesterday. I was in the same spot I always am when using 4G and I was getting a faster speed. I even when inside, where I normally don't get 4G and got a lock.
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Still 4g where I live pretty close to Baltimore. Waiting for LTE here to upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Yes, because Sprint looked into the future to see what technology their competitors would eventually use, and made sure to pick a slower one... it definitely didn't have anything to do with the fact that wimax was deployed months before lte, or the forward-flowing direction of time ;)

But on a serious note, back when Sprint chose which tech to invest in, early reports indicated that wimax had better buildng penetration (relative to the power input). What good is a fast data connection that you have to go outside to use it? Sprint went with the best option for their budget, so they could provide a 4G connection without losing their competitive pricing (or their profit - it likely would have been one or the other, with the same long-term result)
[Epic 4G General] jbryson16:
Kind of off topic but with lte will it be the same lte for all service providers or is the frequency different for each company?
[Epic 4G General] wireless.praying.mantis:
Each wireless carrier has there own band of spectrum delegated for LTE. As of right now, LTE wireless devices of a particular US wireless carrier do not have the ability to roam off any of the other US wireless carriers. One day, maybe but for now, no.
[Epic 4G General] Slackfag:
It really pisses me off that they are killing WiMax, even if there are better alternatives. I bought the Epic 4G, specifically because the salesman told me that we'd be getting 4G in the area soon; Sprint then announces they are killing WiMax.

No big deal I guess, I'll be upgrading and switching carriers to Verizon once I get out of this contract.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
1. Do not trust salesman.

2. 4G LTE will come to your area by the end of 2013.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Wimax will be around well past 2015 if you mean a real slow death. They are not expanding any further though.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Whatever the intentions were, in practice it is difficult to stay connected to Sprint Wimax indoors. Have to be next to a window, too, in most indoor locations. Outdoors it tends to disconnect at a drop of a hat. It may have to do with the frequency Wimax is deployed on, or it may have to do with spotty coverage. That is why people are readily jumping off Epic and Wimax to S3 and LTE (which does not yet exist in most locations) - even in places that have it, Wimax is very limited by its useful availability.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
True, things didn't pan out as well as they'd hoped. Some areas do get better coverage than what you've experienced (I used to support two xboxes and three laptops simultaneously for hours without trouble), but they definitley never completed the wimax network before they halted expansion.

But Tomcat was acting like Sprint made a foolish decision, which would only be true if they knew things that they didn't learn until after the decision was made. That's like calling him a bed wetter now because he did it as a baby ;)
