Why

Could someone tell me why there isn't any

native

unofficial facebook client, only web wrappers?
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Because Facebook has a very exclusive and limited API. Only the official Facebook app can access feed data, which is the main part of Facebook. Using the API for any small thing involves sending a request, and Facebook typically doesn't view a third party alternative as a valid reason for offering the feature. In the end, that leaves us with nothing but the website, which you may notice is also heavily limited. Facebook is pushing for more people to use their app, and is slowly trying to remove features from their mobile site.

This is unlike reddit or github, where they have very extensive API's and actually promote the growth of alternative apps.

I seem to get a notification bomb when I get notifications from frost. I think it may be a glitch with my new phone Moto X4. Will try to capture it on video. I will be trying a factory reset if it persists. Also. I turned off messaging notifications, and changed the tone for standard Frost notifications... Unfortunately it changes my unrelated text messaging tone, but not the Frost one. To clarify, setting a tone in Frost settings seems to have no effect on Frost. Rather it affected my text message tone only.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Are you on Android O? In that case, notification bombs were a bug on 8.0 that have been addressed on 8.1. Oreo also changed the way how notifications can be customized. I have fixed it to allow you to customize message channels for sound, and I have fixed the sound bomb myself. Both will be included in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] Zero Computing:
Yes I am on 8.0. I am hoping Motorola rolls out 8.1... But so far they've been laggards concerning the situation. I also noticed some issues where updating the notification tab manually it will hang, at first it was sparse, now I can't even refresh it. Just stuck at like a tenth of loading. This has been in the last 24 hours. Is there a way to provide logs in a non root way? Not to sound like I'm complaining either. I love the app and want to see it succeed. It's almost as if the app can't connect to however it pulls notifications in. Double checked mobile.facebook.com and it works fine.

About to 'go pro' to help support your development efforts. Just have to secure permission first.

To clarify, it's still updating the notifications every fifteen minutes, and I can get to the notification tab from the android notification but I can't manually refresh.

Edit: I tried rebooting... And it started working again... I don't know what a reboot may have done that force stopping didn't do other than clearing temp cache I suppose... Maybe that was it? Still if it comes up again, what should be my course of action to getting some information on it bugging like that?
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
You are referring to the tab in the main activity right? Tapping the icon in the tab bar should always allow for refresh. The way notifications work is that I will first try to parse it myself. Given that your actual notifications still work, there's no reason this page wouldn't either. If it times out or if it can't parse it, it will revert back to the website.

To send a bug report, either click the email button in settings and give me details (preferred) or post it here.

For notification sound, the fix has been pushed to the beta channel.
[Android Apps and Games] Zero Computing:
Yes the main tab. Like I said a reboot fixed it... Though it would just hang at a tenth of the progress bar. Before rebooting I checked mobile.facebook.com, upon seeing it was working I tried changing from my two different routers and then to data, it just hanged. It hasn't happened again, but I'll let you know. I'm in the beta channel, and have experimental features checked. Will try to see if the update is available to me yet.

I am about to purchase pro. If I uninstall, or factory reset, will the app know that I have pro still? Also, I will further report any feedback in the email portion in the app. Sorry for breaking the pattern.

Nevermind, I see that it does indeed say restore. I purchased pro. Thanks for the awesome alternative to Facebook native app.

And so far I haven't been bombed since the update. You're a boss, kind sir.

Hi again! 100% completed the Swedish translation now, including the other project you linked on crowdin, woooo! ?

Referred a friend to this app and now it's not on the play store!!! Any downloadable apk files of it anywhere?
[Android Apps and Games] diavol90:
Apk?
[Android Apps and Games] Zero Computing:
I don't know what happened to it. I just bought pro the other day too. I hope it didn't get pulled. I enjoy it very much. Thankfully I still have it. Hope this project didn't just die.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
I've been using it for about a year and loving it. Now I want to install it on another phone and can't find it on the Play Store. Noooo!

It's the best FB client I've used.
[Android Apps and Games] Zero Computing:
Copy the apk from your apps on the other phone.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Thanks. Already done that.

[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Hey all,

As you have noticed, Frost has unfortunately been pulled down from the play store due to violations of forwarding traffic to a particular site (m.facebook.com). I'm not sure if this was picked up by the Google team themselves, or if an opposing app decided to flag me for this reason. It is pretty upsetting that only I have been flagged, but either way, it seems quite unlikely that it will go back again. I considered filing a request to address this, but I feel like it would be a never ending battle, and frankly not worth my time.

The good news is that the app is fully open source, and that I have an apk source you can download from:

https://github.com/AllanWang/Frost-for-Facebook-APK-Builder/releases/tag/v1885

The version above is the latest release as of this date.

The bad news is that pro will no longer work, since it isn't bound to the play store. For existing users, it should be just fine, so long as Google continues to honour the payments.

So what is going to happen with Frost? As of now I'm not sure. I'm a full time university student and I haven't been able to devote as much time to Frost compared to the summer, but it's not a project I plan on ditching soon. I still use the app myself, and Facebook is a relatively important means of communication. For now, the most likely route seems to be a main release to F-Droid. This will mean that I have to remove crashlytics, the bug tracking (closed source) library, but it may also mean that I will go fully FOSS and release everything for free with donation options.

Given that Frost has become quite mature, and continues to live on Google Play for those who have downloaded it, I think the pro version will continue to be a worthy purchase for those who got it, if even to support the development. However, if you feel like this change affects your decision and you've bought it after March 1, 2018, you can feel free to reach out to me with your purchase token and I will refund you.

As a final note, Frost was never meant to be just for the money. Unlike some of the other applications, I don't inject ads in the free version so I can benefit from the user base. Frost has always been about offering a better solution, and in helping other developers in the process. My activity here will increase again when summer break is here, and for those of you who stick around, prepare to see more great things to come.
[Android Apps and Games] Zero Computing:
Fantastic news! I was a little upset. So is that latest version newer than whatever was uploaded last to Google? Do I lose pro benefits if I switch to that app? I really like my custom theme. For now I will keep what I have which is 1.8.3, if there's any significant advantage to the one you linked, I'd be interested to know.

Furthermore, how does Swipe get away with it?
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
If your play store version is 1.8.3, it's the same build. For others, I released Frost incrementally, so depending on when you updated, it could be 1.8.3 or it could be older. The changelog is [here](https://github.com/AllanWang/Frost-for-Facebook/blob/dev/docs/Changelog.md#v183) so you are free to decide which build you'd like to use.
[Android Apps and Games] Nicole:
Unfortunately I know of a Dev who tells all his users to flag all apps that are a concurrent to his...

I know that because I translated his app before I understood what kind of a guy he really is, and I told him so and he kicked me out of every group that was related to this app...

I'm so sorry for what happens to you, you don't deserve this [emoji22]

After accidentally discovering this app, I've temporarily frozen (literally) the standard Facebook app.

I really like how this Frost for Facebook looks and feels.

A real shame though about the whole Play Store issue.
[Android Apps and Games] asdfasdfvful:
Hey all, a few big updates.

1. I have just received and accepted an amazing opportunity to intern at Google this summer. This means that I will be able to work on some projects that may affect Android as a whole, but it also means I will be unable to work on Frost (during the internship period) to avoid conflict of interest. I may still be active in communicating, but just note that this may be a reason for inactivity for that time.

2. (Edit 2018-11-11) Frost is currently released on Github, and has a slack workspace. As this is a popular post, here is the link to the github for more info. Future changes will be updated there
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] ajpettit:
So now that we've courageously broken free of the burdensome shackles of the 3.5mm jack I guess we got to make the move to bluetooth. Every adapter I see seems to have an inbuilt microphone and none of them make use of the inline mic that many headphones come with does anyone know of any adapter that doesn't need to be dug out of a pocket to reply to a call?

PS: before anyone mentions the Sound Blaster E3 yes it has a mic input but only if you split the jack into separate mic/earphone jacks and only when connected to a pc via USB. I've asked elsewhere and this has come up once or twice.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Tidbits:
I am confused. What do you need an adapter for Bluetooth? Can you show an example?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] ajpettit:
So that i can plug my headphone into it to listen to tunes here are some examples https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-bluetooth-headphone-adapter/
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Tidbits:
Ah ok that explains a lot. The way I was picturing in my head confused me lol.

I have not seen any of those that have inline mics with a single 3.5mm.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] radon222:
There are good number of bluetooth headsets with mics that you get for the same or less than the price of those. Or if you have a set of wired headsets that you're really attached too, why not just use the USB-C ->3.5mm that will be included in the box?

LG G6 variants H870+US997 can have bootloader unlocked and be rooted with general ease.

Not completely correct. It depends where your US997 comes from. US Cellular US997 devices can't currently be unlocked.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
I do like everything about this phone except battery size. Its sad that google did not upgraded battery and it remain 2700mAh which is rather poor for this price range . Would it give at least 4 hour screen on time with this capacity ? If not then what else phone you will recommend with camera as good as pixel 2 ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] giant22000:
I would expect similar to slightly better than last year's Pixel battery life. My opinion is based on what I've seen from next gen devices from the beginning of Android.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
I have the Z2 Force. With my usage between the Z2, S8+, Note8, and my Nexus 5X they get similar numbers with the 5X being the lowest overall time. Z2 Force did a lot better than I expected and people thought the battery was way too small.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
I have not used normal pixel though pixel XL was great in battery but what was the average screen on time for last year pixel with same battery size?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
Yes I have also used 5X and excellent camera but very poor battery as i was getting maximum 2.30 to 3 hour screen on time so have returned it . 6P has no good reputation about battery either.

we dont have z2 force in here and i assume its camera is not as good as you get from note 8 or pixel..By the way if you have used boht note 8 and s8 plus then which camera is better between these two?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Redrockzz:
thought because of sd835, amoled display and 3520mAh batterylife will be nice but we will see in reviews.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
I am not much of a camera guy. They both look better than the Z2. I give the Note8 the edge because of camera tricks you can do cause other than that I can't tell the difference between photos. Personally if you like photos you can't go wrong with either.

The Z2 has those mods going for it. Personally I use 2 mods. The projector and the battery. With the battery I get 3 days of usage between charges. The projector I use it to watch something at night in my bed. Great for my neck lol.

Personally if I can get 6 hours of SoT per day is all good for me.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
6 hour screen on time is excellent and few phones can give this SOT with consistency

I had s7 edge before and was happy with battery(5 to 6 hour SOT on 4G) but still photography was not as good as on Pixel or even Nexus 5x/6p .

I don't know why high end phones don't look at battery department because all midrange or low end phones coming up with 4000mAh aand 5000mAh capacity and that also on 720 p screen . I don't mind extra weight as long as battery is excellent
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
Sadly that's the problem. There are people want thinner, waterproof, and lighter phones. There has also been no strides is battery for the hardware department. There's some promising projects but the costs currently isn't worth it.

Ironically the only reason why I got the battery mod for my Z2 was because that phone is lighter than the 5X.

The original pixel would last me a solid day. I don't watch a lot of videos though so... If you're a youtube fanatic you're probably screwed.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
yeah, pixel 1 is 2700mah and it seems ok..honestly, i get the same battery life out of this (if not better) than i did my v20 which was like 3200mah
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
I don't know too much about YouTube on mobile usage, but generally video playing doesn't requires too much finger input and that's what consumes more battery. And I don't consider YouTube in WiFi to be so battery killer.

What really kills my battery are video calls......I never had a good battery with video calls.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ndonnine:
I don't think your statement about YouTube giving you better battery is accurate at all. In fact I think that's completely false. Almost everyone review site uses screen on while running video because streaming , brightness, and video all eat up your battery quicker than say a static e-reader image.

For instance, almost every review site uses video run down tests on the phone. The run down tests usually knock a battery out in half the SOT.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] thesebastian:
You are right, I don't know too much about YouTube because I always use it via WiFi. I should had mentioned "video playing" (and not YouTube), so I don't bring the battery consumption used by LTE modem into this. I'll edit my post.

Now, in my experience browsing (tapatalk, whatsapp, chrome, all the apps that constantly requires you to be touching the display) consumes more battery than a video (at least a local video or movie downloaded in your memory).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Large Hadron:
It's about the same capacity as last year, and the s835 seems to be rather more efficient than the s820/821 judging by other manufacturers' results, so I expect it will be fine.

Hi,

I've looked all over the web for a solution to my problem but I'm unable to find one. Put simply, I had SDHC cards working with my phone this morning, I decided to upgrade to the latest firmware given out by Orange - now I can't use my SDHC card anymore. I've tried the same method as I used previously to make this work but I'm unable to replace SDMEMORY and SDBUS dlls as access to them is denied.

Please advise.

[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note Questions & Answers] kysan:
Hi everyone :)

The last week i updated OTA nougat on my lenovo k6 note, and after that i lost my connectivity (4g/3g etc).

To try to restore my phone i downgraded (flashed) 2 stock firmware:

- a wrong stock rom ( lenovo k6 k 33 my mistake...)

-After that i flashed a correct version K53_S123_170216_ROW_QPST via qfil, and then i manage to recover the dual SIM IMEI (just typin the IMEI number in my k6 note box) with this tool (qualcomm-smartphone-write-imei-tool-v1.01) via diagnostic menu , but the connectivity wasn't restored completely.

- In about device it says : Baseband JO.1.2.c2-00099-8937 unknown.

-The Sim 1 detect 4g but i can't enter to internet and it can't make calls. but it can receive calls and SMS.

-Same as for SIM 2, it can receive SMS but can't make calls.

I tried to do the following:

-Re flash stock firmware, and make a hard reset (didn't work)

-i made a xQCN backup from other k6 note, and i reflashed with qpst and changing the IMEI didn't work.

I don't know what else do :(

Thanks in advance for your answers.
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note Questions & Answers] ImSSin:
Sorry i cant help you but let me tell you what i did when i faced almost the same problem.

I am a lenovo k6 power user (k33a42). After upgrading my stock rom to latest nougat update through OTA my device went into bootloops. Unfortunately i had no backups so i reflashed the stock rom. The device started working again but then i found out that both of my SIMs were not working (No sim indication, no IMEI number, no network). Tried everything i could but later decided to give it to the customer care as it was still in warranty. It took them 4 weeks (4 WEEKS!!!) to fix the device and later told me that the motherboard was faulty. So if no methods work out for you, my only advice is to go to the customer care if you still have the warranty.
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note Questions & Answers] kysan:
yes, i still have warranty, but first i need to know how re lock my bootloader before giving it to customer care :).

Thanks for the reminder i didn't consider that option.
[Lenovo K6 / K6 Power / K6 Note Questions & Answers] ImSSin:
Oh thats simple if you have proper drivers (ADB & FASTBOOT) installed.

Just boot your device into fastboot mode. Connect it to the PC and type this code in cmd:

"fastboot oem lock" and press enter (without quotes)

The device may restart but if it doesn't just type this code:

"fastboot reboot"

If everything goes fine, reboot the device to bootloader again and check the bootloader status by typing this line in cmd:

"fastboot oem device-info"

It must say that "bootloader unlocked: false"

Done!!

-G955U locked to USA carriers version

-G955U1 is the Unlocked version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
You can use ODIN to flash U1 firmware for a bloatfree experience, but that WILL NOT carrier unlock your device. It has to be unlocked by the carrier. Either by calling them direct or paying for an unlock service. But if your phone is paid off, your carrier will unlock it for free.

Of course. Search the forums and carrier switching thread.

That's a half truth. You CAN purchase the U1 model at Best Buy, but only if you specifically ask for it. They also sell the carrier versions for ATT, Verizon, and I believe Sprint.

The U1 can also be purchased directly from Samsung, as well as the carrier versions.

Yes the U1 works with ALL major US carriers. I.e. Verizon, Sprint, ATT, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and all their MVNOs.
