I tried twice with the 1.3.1 version. Partial wake time is 100%. I even totally disabled notifications, but no avail.

I'm a professional software dev, Unix/Linux expert, not a noob.
[Desire General] sbdags:
1.3.1 works fine here. No battery drain.

I did uninstall first and then update to 1.3.1.

Try that.
[Desire General] josdehaes:
Ok, tried again. This time I deleted all app data before upgrading. Could not uninstall completely, as it's a system app. Drain is indeed gone now.
[Desire General] williap:
Ok tried above but battery still going down quicker then an hooker!!!

Doing my head in now.
[Desire General] josdehaes:
Maybe it's some other app? Have you checked on the battery history page? Type *#*#4636#*#* on phone app. Then battery history, and take partial wake usage from first combo.
[Desire General] EroThraX:
No problem here, over 35 hours up time with MCR r7 Froyo with Facebook 1.3.1.

Partial wake working perfectly.
[Desire General] @MARK:
It is working fine on my Desire as well

BUT

On my wives X10 Mini Pro, the battery was dead in about 4 hours when that one normally lasts a good 2 days plus on a charge. Uninstalled and back to normal.

Something isn't quite right is it?
[Desire General] htcd2fan:
Well, after a complete hardreset of my desire an an overall fresh setup (hey, just took ~4 hours ;) ) of everything facebook 1.3.1 works OK regarding battery consumption.

BUT: no matter what time i set up for syncing with facebook (not the contacts, but things like news, messages and so on) it does just not work.

HTC Facebook for sense works fine, getting updates every hour; facebook 1.3.1 for android just won't work. i always have to enter the screen i wish to update, open the menu and press refresh (or what it's called in the english version, as i'm on a german (FroYo Stock-)ROM ;) ).

So, i now have set the update-frequency to "never" and disabled notifications; this way the app should stay pretty much out of my system unless i manually start and use it...

btw: what's the real point in using the FB app? I still can't really see what it does more than the facebook-integration in HTC Sense / FriendStream - only difference is, that HTC's Facebook-integration works just fine out of the box... ;)
[Desire General] madd0g:
I've seen from experience that the best combo is :

Facebook ap - notifications ON, contact sync OFF

Facebook for HTC - Contact sync ON, Feed OFF

Same for Twitter

Official Twitter - notifications ON, contact sync OFF

Twitter for HTC - Contact sync ON, Feed OFF

Because it seems that HTC's implementation of Contact sync works the best with existing contacts and there are no doubles + everything links fine together.

Hi.

My first thread here, thanks for all the work you folks putting in making our Galaxy a greate phone. Hope I dont start a thread that are already existing.

Yesterday I falshed my phone with the I9000XWJM2 firmware and experiensed something strange in Kies afterwards.

It told me that there was new firmware I could choose to install!! I havent experienced that before.

Is this a way to get back to the original firmware? I know from the FAQ that there are no way to do it, but what happens if I get KIES to install firmware?

Best regards,

Jens
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] closer66:
hey jens are you sure kies offers you firmware ? or just update for KIES i mean update Kies destop software ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jensk:
It only shows up after I installed I9000XWJM2 and before SAMSET 1.8, as far as I have seen so far. Will try again tonight when im back from work.

I can see that other people in here is talking about new KIES version. I will check tonight whatever its firmware or KIES that it want to update.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quinckekorotkoffqk:

Hi,

I'm currently running one of the modified versions of the official 2.2 HTC release for my Desire. I seem to recall that it is possible to upload videos directed to you Tube by selecting the "share" icon when viewing the video in the gallery. When I tried this now, I got a host of sharing options, but not you Tube. Is there perhaps something I am overlooking?
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
Or maybe the ROM your using

what ROM is it BTW??
[Desire General] kolaf:
I've tried two or three of the ones based on the official 2.2 release by HTC found on this site (leedroid, neo-something, and one by some Spanish guy starting with r). They all lack the YouTube sharing option. Is not think they remove anything from the official ROM, just route it and add some bits and pieces...
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
Has this worked on a previous ROM by any chance??

Hello excuse, you could tell me how to replace the init file? I tried to follow the explanation at the beginning of the post, but I could not mount the file ubuntu.img, in any way. I tried with a live ubuntu, but it did not work. I tried to mount the. IMG file with magic disc but can not mount it. I guess not enough to replace the init file in the destination folder? I tried but during boot change the resolution, and the screen remains fixed on a keyboard in the middle where you can not interact. As was the case before ... Could you explain in detail how to replace the init file, or at least to run on the touch rhobuntu elf?If you want to write me a pm. Thanks

But after installation there was a big key board on screen which i managed to drage down with stylus. but what I feel is the resolution need to be changes as it is showing everything so big.

Also, I tried to make a call to this device, we get ring at device from which I was calling, but there was nothing on the device on which I install rhobuntu. also I could not make a call from here. Can you help me in these cases.

Found something while starting rhobuntu, you may be interested to know.

I can't go to recovery (home + power)

Please ask if you need more information. Though i'm still a bit of a newbie (otherwise i would not have "bricked" my phone)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
That's a recovery screen. You should have flashed the Hero recovery, not the Sapphire/Magic one, since that's what the new radio requires.

Hold down Volume and press power. Does you phone go into fastboot? If so, flash the latest Hero recovery or the modded Sapphire/ new radio one from http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fileshare/Sapphire-32A-Updates/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] UniChaos:
No, i have tried VolUp, VolDown and both. Still goes to the "install" screen and crashes. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
If you can't get into fastboot (volume down+power), recovery (home+power), or get the phone to boot normally, I think you've pretty much bricked your phone. If it's under warranty, try to take it back. If not and you've got insurance, tell them the phone is in the bottom of a lake, if you don't have both, well that just sucks.

Copy/Paste is a built-in feature: select some text, e.g. in a textbox or webpage, click it and hold your finger there for a little while and then a context menu should pop up letting you copy the selection. Next, inside any textbox where you can type manually, click into it and hold your finger there to bring up another popup letting you paste your copied text.

Btw, this is the development forum. I dont think your question fits here.
