I had them. They are default with h901 mm. Not sure about lollipop. If you are rooted you can uninstall them with a file manager, or use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall them. If u use Facebook ( I don't ) then you can always just install the playstore version.

I'm not rooted yet so I can't uninstall them. I contacted Facebook about this a few days ago and have not received a response from them yet.

Facebook is pushing updates to its app through these now for interim updates. It lets them bypass the app store for bug fixes and staged feature rollouts.

****tards at Facebook trying some shady **** as usual. The thing is, I don't even use their ****ing network, yet somehow, I ended up with it getting installed, and promoted as a system app overnight. Don't be surprised if they don't respond to your feedback, mother****ers don't care about anyone. All they want is to get information about you, which they could sell to who-the ****-ever they want. Immediatelly disabled all their spyware, and you should do the same.

You need ROOT to remove the Facebook garbage

All apps can be found in the /data and /data/data folders in Android but you need ROOT to access, alter or delete from these areas.

Hey guys there's a way how to get rid of these ****ty apps

Head over here https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/

This way you can uninstall any so be careful, anyway after factory reset all will be back as on new device.

These aren't Facebook! Well it is, but not directly. These 2 are system files that manage/download files that are connected or used by other apps on your phone. Say you're sharing a picture, hyper link, etc to facebook because that system app has the option to do so....that's what these 2 things do
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloshnmosh:
Actually, one of those two Facebook related apps checks the SHA sums of the installed Facebook app itself which I believe is to verify that a Facebook app from another source cannot be downloaded or side-loaded.

I believe that this is because the factory installed Facebook app has some configuration files which uniquelly ties it to the device it was shipped with as well as the phones owner.

I also believe that these Facebook related system apps only appear on devices where the Facebook app comes pre-loaded by the device manufacturer and is part of what Facebook calls the "Facebook Experience" and these embedded Facebook apps share your Facebook access tokens with the device manufacturer and others which allows them to access all your Facebook data.

Even with the Facebook app deleted these other two Facebook related system apps were still using data in the background.

I highly recommend users deleting their Facebook accounts and use ADB to remove Facebook and the other related apps from the user 0 account if they don't have root.

Why do they choose who/ what device to place their Facebook App Manager & Facebook App Installer process onto? Is it random or targeted towrds people that are labled under a certain unknown criteria. By the way I used to not have this on my phone but another thing I used to not have on my phone is a notification of how i am using a special version of android. Dunno what's so special about my version other than I know I deck out my ohone but android version is only changed when an update is ready for it. And yes two same phones on one family plan yet phones are so very different and other family members phone isnt a special version. But now the other device now has these two Facebook Apps as well. What's up? Oh yeah, off thst topic onto a new topic, my messenger was just logged into by an unknown device at 11:55PM. And no one just logs into my sh!* ;) therefore do we have a new Facebook data breach?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jack lamters:
If you've ever wondered what the Facebook.app.manager app is, or if you have it installed on your device, you're not alone. This app is a pre-installed app that comes on most Android devices. It's designed to help manage and keep track of your Facebook account and all of its associated data.

The Facebook.app.manager app is essentially a one-stop shop for your Facebook account. It allows you to see all of your account information in one place, as well as manage your settings and preferences. You can also use it to access other features of the Facebook app, such as Messenger, Groups, and Events.

Overall, the Facebook.app.manager app is a helpful tool that can make managing your Facebook account easier. If you're looking for an easy way to keep track of your account data, this app is definitely worth checking out.

Im trying to prevent my lumia 640 on build 10240 from updating. is there a way to prevent it from checking for updates? Maybe something in the registry?
[Windows 10 Mobile] kdskamal:
No. There is no way to do it. IDK why all mobile operating systems have started forcing updates on the users.
[Windows 10 Mobile] w.bogdan:
Why not? Isn't there already a way of altering the hosts file? Just add

0.0.0.0 update.microsoft.com

and the update should be blocked.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efirahola:
Hey guys i have an HTC one m8x Model: OP6B110, i dont know a lot about this cell phone, i had a Sony xperia z2 before. I need help to unlock bootloader and root the HTC in order to unlock aditional LTE bands. I cant navigate on LTE just 3g. Im running Android 6.0 and Sense 7, couldn't find any tutorial for this. Thanks in advantage.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wallee97:
Have had an m8x since launch and as far as I know the device is identical to the m8. So every guide for the m8 should work for the m8x
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
It should be noted that most guides are outdated at this point, and reference wrong versions TWRP (depends on Android build on the phone), SuperSU (recommend current stable 2.76) or mention firewater instead of sunshine s-off).

But otherwise, yes the process to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root the M8x is basically the same as the M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Vomer's guide, while dated, is still mostly relevant for what you want. You only need to do Section 0 and 1 in order to unlock bootloader and root:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/vomerguides-m8-bootldr-unlock-s-off-t2800727

I believe the only thing that is outdated in those section, is the TWRP version. You should use TWRP 3.0 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/

And somewhat obvious, the command to flash TWRP will need to have the appropriate file name (with newer version number).

Don't follow guide Sections 2, etc. They aren't necessary to unlock bootloader and root, and the info is not longer accurate (firewater s-off no longer works).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efirahola:
Dude THANKS A LOT! i was able to unlock and root my phone, now i need to unlock the LTE bands.

I have this: LTE band 3(1800), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800) - EMEA active on my phone, i need to unlock this bands:

- VIVA: 2100 download, 1700 upload, band 4.

- TIGO: AWS(B4) and 700(B17)

- ENTEL: 700MHz (BC12, BC13, BC17, BC28, BC44)

Mainly the TIGO bands. I was looking for any tutorial here and all seems to be outdated. If u can help me ill be grateful.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Root by itself doesn't allow you to unlock the bands on this device.

The only working method I know of to change the band support, is to get s-off with sunshine ($25 US) and flash another radio baseband. Even then, a lot of folks have still failed to connect to their local carrier's LTE network, despite flashing the radio baseband with the proper LTE band support (or even full conversion by RUU). Not sure why this is happening, and haven't seen any solution, unfortunately. And due to this, it may not be worth spending the money on sunshine s-off, considering the risk of not getting the result you want.

My apologies, I didn't read your OP well enough to realize that unlocking LTE bands was the purpose for your rooting (just that you wanted to unlock bootloader and root). Otherwise, I would have advised this sooner.

Root

is

needed to perform sunshine s-off. But there is a lot more involved then just root, and you may or may not consider it worth the $ to try.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efirahola:
Yeah that was the main purpose of this topic... i have read a lot of guides but anything works for me, dunno whats wrogn bc theres ppl who could reach that goal to unlock some LTE bands. I really love this phone but im tired to have just 3g or 2g thats is pretty slow here. If theres a chance to unlock just this 2 bands: AWS(B4) y 700(B17) without spending money ill be the happiest man. Dunno if i did well rooting my device, tought it will help to my goal.

Hi All,

I also have HTC One m8 dual sim and want to root the device running Android 6.0. I tried step by step instructions provided in this guide however I can not proceed as I don't have fast boot option under settings\power. I am not a techi guy so not sure how to proceed further. Appreciate any advise or link to instruction for my version of device/Android.

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I can't speak to any of that, unless you refer to the specific mods/methods, etc.. Are those mods for this phone (M8) or some other phone entirely? If you are talking about the mod for modifying the NV values, as already stated, this only work on the Verizon and Sprint versions of the M8 (versions that support CDMA networks). On all other versions, the NV values are locked, and will return to default upon reboot.

If you are talking about mods for other phones entirely, those methods don't apply to the M8. Every phone has its own peculiarities and nuances.

You need s-off to modify the radio baseband, that's the plain truth. And you need to spend money ($25 by sunshine) to get s-off.

One thing you can check, is look on the bootloader screen and see if its s-on or s-off; in the unlikely event that its already s-off (a small number come s-off from the factory, some will have been modified by a former owner or seller).
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] camcorder123:
So silly me decided to play around with the bootloader. Smart, I know. I was really just tinkering around with fastboot, looking but not touching. But I seem to have accidentally messed with some odd command known as "boot_mode". Typed in "fastboot oem boot_mode" only to receive a "FAILED (remote: Use 'fastboot oem boot_mode rf/wlan/ftm/normal')". So me being my curious and fearless self decided, "alright, what could go wrong?" After entering this command, nothing happened. Just got an "OK" message. When rebooting, instead of seeing the normal OnePLus logo, I get a few Chinese characters and an ellipsis. I can boot into TWRP a-okay, but upon booting to OOS, it either hangs on the Chinese characters or on a black screen. I'm used to Odin with Samsung, so I'm a little new to the whole flashing process - where could I acquire images to reflash? Would this even help my problem? Thanks for any help possible.

Thanks me, for embarrassing myself with a silly question. Ignore me, I failed to notice that the slashes are separating different options, not describing a directory. "fastboot oem boot_mode normal" was all I needed.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kondie:
Hi everyone.

I'm looking for some information in regards to flashing my phone. I'm running on an old Galaxy S4 SGH - i537 which does not have carrier support for anything past 4.3. Unfortunately, this has now become an obstacle as apps require 4.4+ for downloading. I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction in order to find out if my phone is rootable, and if so, what ROMs can I flash onto it?

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eureca:
So I just installed the latest nightly cm-11 rom found in Hashcode's thread. Everything seemed to work fine but Hulu and amazon video. Amazon video is just very slow though so I chalked that up to it being a real real old tablet.

Hulu doesn't play video at all. Outside of maybe a 2 second cartoon network sign before an episode is about to start. It just closes the app as the video is about to load.

I remember having a similar issue with a cyanogenmod rom on a nexus 7. I tried changing some of the HDCP settings in the developer settings but it still didn't work.

I noticed most of the new roms are otterx now. I rather not change to otterx since the tablet is just going to be used for hulu, youtube, plex and maybe netflix.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend an otter rom that has Hulu working?

Edit: I have tried a couple of roms they all just fail after the first boot after I install a couple of apps. All roms will eventually crash and not boot up again. If I rebooted before it crashed it would not boot up again. Not sure if that is a known problem or if this old tablet is just dying. It seemed to be working fine on the stock rom.

Just went back to the stock rom after trying like 7 otter roms. It stopped failing right away so not really sure what the problem is. Hulu didn't seem to work on any of the roms though before they failed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jomar Vazquez:
Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience with this device with you.

So, I bought this phone in January and it was the most excellent phone I've ever used, fast processor, good camera, a nice community backing it up, good audio, you know the rest.

But it wasn't until, like, three or four months after that and I began to have troubles with it. I'll try to list them up:

1. While using it for reading before going to sleep, it would lock itself as if I pressed the power button (and no, it wasn't because of the screen timeout because I have a very high timeout and whenever it locked itself it made the locking sound it normally does when you press the lock button). I guess it has to do with the position I usually hold it when I'm on my bed and about to sleep.

2. Vibration motor issues, the phone used to stop vibrating at random times, I had to give it a shake to start vibrating again, how can you explain that? How is that even possible? God, I just can't understand what was wrong, but I learned to live with it

3. Video playblack issues, it stopped playing any kind of video at random times and I had to reboot it so it could do it. For example, YouTube showed that there was a problem loading the video, Instagram videos would glitch and go black, Snapchat videos won't play, you open the video and it exits as if it has finished, Album app says "Cannot play video", Facebook videos would just show the preview and the loading would remain at zero, and so on... However, this got fixed when I updated to Marshmallow but had to live with it for at least two months until MM released.

4. Audio jack issues (first issue), when I plugged my headphones everything was okay, but when I twisted the headphones plug it would stop playing the music (twist the headphone plug, obviously not disconnecting it; let's say that you have a sort of L shaped earphones plug, you are going to watch a YouTube video so you put your phone in landscape, you rotate the earphones plug so you can hold the phone in landscape properly, phone detects as it was disconnected and stops the video).

And, finally...

5. Audio jack issues (second issue), the headphones would disconnect no matter what I do, even the slightest movement would disconnect it, this frustrates me because I listen to music A LOT, and I couldn't do that on my phone anymore. When trying to disconnect and reconnect the headphones the audio jack cracked and the plastic frame of the phone got unglued, and now I have the chrome audio jack and the plastic frame in my hands because I can't glue it back because it won't fit again.

The last issue just happened a couple of hours ago.

I am so disappointed of this phone, just when I though I have found the perfect phone for me, guess I have to try again with another brand... (not to mention I have seen in a lot of forums that this phone has a lot of issues in terms of hardware and software).

What do you think? Have you had any problems like this? Do you think I have bad luck?

What do you think I should do now?

Leave the comments, I will read them.

In 4 years of having Xperia phones I've only every had one problem, a cracked screen. I called the service desk and they gave me an address to send it to, I had a new screen in 5 days.

I doesn't matter if the phone was second hand or sold unlocked, it still has a valid warranty (two years in Europe).

Register your phone, you will need the IMEI number.

Then call Sony service and tell them you have a fault. They will talk you though some stuff, get you to try PC Companion, then give you a fault reference number and an address to send it to.

It's worth a try.
