I haven't actively used Facebook today, but so far I'm seeing around 4%/hr dropoff, which is about 1-2% higher than usual. But it's not insane, and Spare Parts shows that Facebook is barely visible in the partial wake.

I wonder what the difference is... Maybe when you use it, maybe it gets into some loop or cycle?

I see it is "running" in System Panel, but just like many things, it always is.
[Android Apps and Games] davidalves:
Hi folks,

I'm a developer at Facebook on the Android team. First off, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We have identified the bug that is causing this battery drain and are working on a fix now. As soon as the patch is ready, we'll push out an update. Thanks for the quick feedback and for your patience as we get this fixed!

Thanks,

David
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
\o/ Thanks for looking out! We'll let you know if it's fixed. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] splmonster:
Thank you very much... It's appreciated that you guys are noticing the forums.
[Android Apps and Games] marclile:
I agree, thank you. I was actually very shocked when I saw that Facebook posted on their wall that they found the problem and were working on the fix. Shocked mostly that they admitted that there was a problem. Very cool that they didn't just try to ignore it.
[Android Apps and Games] akusaru:
Just wanted to throw my two cents in here...

I'm not experiencing the battery drain that everyone else seems to be.

I'm running the unrevoked 1.47.651.1 rooted release. My Facebook app is configured not to sync and the notification update interval is 1 hour.

I'm attaching screen shots from SystemPanel.

If the developers have already found the issue then maybe my post is a non issue. :P

[Android Apps and Games] Vulpix:
I'll see the light when the Android version stops opening up the FB website everytime I touch a notification, instead of doing it all within the app. If I wanted to see the website, I would have just gone to m.facebook.com instead of downloading the app.

When I rooted my G1 (UK) , I have sth confusing because my Build number is DMD64, so I didn't know whether or not downgrading my phone. When I tried to downgrading my phone with Dreaimg-RC7, it said that " not allowed". How do I solve this problem??

DMD64 does not require a "gold card". Well, the US version anyways... I had DMD64 on mine, and the basic root instructions from the unlockr worked fine.

Follow those instructions... READ EVERYTHING FIRST!!! If you have any questions, or need help, just ask.

In other words, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS PRECISELY and BE PATIENT!!!

[Captivate General] cross_fire:
Hello all,

I just bought my Captivate last weekend, so far I like it a lot...one issue I have is there is a tutorial within the settings but for some reason I cannot get it to start. It says touch "begin" to start tutorial or something like that and then does nothing.

Anyone else have this issue or know how to get it to start? I really haven't done much with the phone since I got it aside from download a few apps.
[Captivate General] iamjonso:
I just tried mine and it doesn't work too. I waited for minutes thinking that maybe it's loading something in the background, but nothing happened.
[Captivate General] cross_fire:
Ok thanks, thought it was just me. I was interested in checking it out as there really is no real manual...the quick tip booklet was helpful though. Guess I'll have to wait and see if this actually gets fixed.
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
I wish I could remember where I found the manual, but I can't. The size is larger than what's alloted on the forum so I can't attach it. Here is a link to it on mediafire. I take no credit, I'm just passing along what someone else has shared.

Hope it helps.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
I just updated to Froyo (Fresh 3.1.0.1), and I made several Titanium Backups prior. When I created a backup in the past, I would copy and paste the TitaniumBackup folder from the sdcard to my desktop just in case anything ever happened to my phone.

After updating to Froyo, I went to reload all my data, but Titanium failed to recognize the backup after I cut and paste it from my desktop to my sdcard.

I'm not so much worried about the apps as I am about the SMS and what not. How can I get Titanium to recognize the backup?

Thanks for your help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
did you mvoe the back up before you installed titanium? i have moved it after a few times (as i back up mine as well) and have run into this problem. I ussually just uninstalled and reinstalled titanuim once the folder was backa nd it worked fine.

as a note if your back up is from a 2.1 rom. make sure to go through the list when you tell it to restore all and uncheck 2.1 specific system components (ie checkinService_update 2.1, googleTalkserive_update 2.1) this reduces problems as well
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
That worked. Cheers, mate! :)

And I appreciate the heads up on the system components!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
Ah, just noticed one thing didn't work -- perhaps I deleted it from the backup file.

Which files do I need to restore to retrieve my SMS?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
what application do you use for SMS? i believe it stores it under "accounts" it has a tiback up icon I could be wrong cant test it for sure. Normally mine updates itself to current after getting a message or 2 (i have google sync on) so i think something is synced elewhere as well maybe some one else knows a little more about this. Glad you at least got some of it restored.

Same here,,, but i had this on other ROMs Pre-Froyo maybe its a bug with Astro??
[Desire General] falconchips:
I don´t think so. Yesterday I had no problem under Ecclair. I´ve noticed this bug just after updated to Froyo. And if it´s a bug with Astro, it would be such a coincidence that the same occurs with Es fileexplorer and other stuff like this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] khawasli:
Hi guys,

I did my homework and checked Google :) could not find out how to restart the HTC sense via command line... the reason I want to do that is because I wrote a script that hides applications from the drawer by moving them to a different folder. But the problem is that I need to restart the Phone for the hiding to actually take effect... OR I can simply restart the HTC sense.... does anyone know the command for that?
[Captivate General] phishie:
Has anyone else notices that once the Captivate hits 10% battery (or maybe it's less than 10%) you can no longer use the "Music Player" application?

Any way around this?

I wanted to continue using the Music Player in order to drain the phone to 0% but couldn't once I hit 9 or 10%. I could use Pandora though.
[Captivate General] rurouni572:
Yep, stock music player will not allow you to listen to music under 10%. I'm sure music apps will let you though. I'm using mixzing and it's pretty good. A bit choppy though if you let it update your album artwork all the time.
[Captivate General] phishie:
I wonder if the stock app can be hacked to disable this annoying "feature". Other than that I actually like the stock music app better than the couple other market music apps I've tried.
[Captivate General] candymann:
It also affects the camera and video player--which is annoying. I mean, I realize the battery is low, but I might still want to take a picture, or listen to music. 10% of the battery remaining should still be plenty to listen to music for a while.

Any apps outside of the stock ones don't prevent you from using them though. Guess I need to find a camera alternative.
[Captivate General] rurouni572:
The only reason I chose a third party music app was because my Captivate skips and stutters when playing music and I heard that mixzing/double twist don't do that. Otherwise I'd stick with the default player because it's pretty good.
[Captivate General] behrouz:
Are you sure its not another program interfering with the function of the music player? I multi-task with the music player in the background often, and never had any skipping.
[Captivate General] dontshakepandas:
Do any of you guys using the music player have problems sorting your music by artist? How much music do you have on your phone? I like the stock player too, but its useless to me since it crashes every time I try to sort by artist.
[Captivate General] rurouni572:
I'm pretty sure it's not another program that's causing the skipping. There are lots of posts about this on androidforums and most people are not running any background apps/used ATK to kill more resource intensive apps. I'm wondering if there are hidden system processes that make it stutter like that.

In general I listen to music at work. I'm not surfing or multitasking on my phone. I'm only listening to music. Yet it still skips/stutters. I wonder if background processes like syncing or something is upsetting the music player but I doubt it. Besides, it just shouldn't skip to begin with.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
This needs to be disabled, and now. It does the same thing to the camera, and I was at a concert last night and it wouldn't let me open the camera because I had less than 15% battery. I didn't give a **** about my phone for calling, I wanted pictures of the last 3 bands playing. To make it better, it had been bright as hell all day, and the last 3 sets were as the sun was finally going down and they had really cool stage setups that I would have loved to have been able to take pictures or videos of.

F*** you whoever thinks they should choose FOR ME what I should do with my battery. This is bull****. I'll use every last drop of power taking pictures WHILE listening to music if I want.

If I sound a little annoyed, it's because I am. I had seen this before, at least for the music player, but wasn't thinking about it. I watched my battery all day to make sure I had enough to get pictures of all the bands playing, and 15% was enough for a couple of pictures for the last few bands. So yeah, I'm annoyed. I don't know if this is a Samsung thing, or an Android thing, but it needs to be gone.

Forgive me if this is a newb question, but I've searched the forum a few different ways and couldn't find a real answer.

Can I use any kernel with any ROM, or should I only use the kernel (if any), associated with that ROM?

If I download and flash the CM6 Nightlies, do they come with the kernel built in?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikevillarroel:
Every rom has it own kernel, but you can flash another one if you want
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
not all kernels are compatible with all roms.

All roms should come with there own kernel however if you choose to select a different kernel make sure it is for the correct version of the rom (ie 2.1 vs 2.2) also some roms have other needs and you may see a separate version for them (ie netarchys has always had a separate damagecontrol kernel). If it matches versions (2.2 to 2.2) and you dont see a note on the page about a certain rom you are probably ok just nandroid before installing jsut in case.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slinky1914:
Well someone in the Development thread applied and says he lost root and is trying to get it back. I suggest if you do apply it to do a nandroid before you apply it. I cant guarantee that will bring you back to what you backed up, but better safe than sorry. One of the devs got the update and is gonna make it root friendly soon.
[Desire General] Bully74uk:
Im reading about a fair few people who can't upgrade their unbranded handsets today.

Ive also heared a few noises that the update may have been suspended !

Yesterday was fine, I posted a walkthrough and link to a useful guide for debranding over on the android forum and most people were reporting back with success however today, two or three have mentioned that after debranding and installing a generic Rom they are getting the 'no update available, your handset is up to date' message when checking for the 2.2 update

Combine that with the thread on here about no update for unbranded T-Mobile and im beginning to wonder if somethings going on.

Most unbranded handsets will have most likely been updated by now so it will be interested to see if any more people who haven't yet done so are still offered the update.
[Desire General] josdehaes:
don't know, but maybe they want to fix the issues before they roll out to more users.

And she is unbranded no root stock 2.1 ROM. so sure something is going on in the HTC lab. :confused:

It's wierd :confused:, I have an unbranded Desire with a Virgin sim in it. when I tried the check for software via mobile internet, nothing, said I was up to date, when I tried it via wifi, it updated seamlessly... No issues with wifi or GPS so far either. Best of luck to you though..

[Desire General] kevinsmbuk:

[Desire General] josdehaes:
the funny thing is, wifi worked directly after the update (Sunday) but stopped working yesterday.

I tested GPS since I read other people had trouble with it, and indeed, no location fix for me.

I sent a mail to HTC support, hope they fix it soon.
[Desire General] popkid:
they may have stopped it, but today isn't the first day I've tried it...

it didn't work on Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday either...

Pauly (op t-mobile thread)

someone over in t-mobile thread says you can't force the update through the check for updates button anyway, you need to wait for a service message?

Perhaps they are only sending the message out intermittently and I've been unlucky enough to be out of signal each time?
[Desire General] josdehaes:
I got the update by manually checking on Sunday.

hmmm, thats that theory done then... contradicts HTC tech support apparently, but I'm not surprised by that :)

if it is unbranded, try occasionally. it worked for me.
[Desire General] reaperSKD:
Maybe they did pull it. It updated last night by checking manually on my de-branded T-Mobile desire. I've had nothing but problems with froyo. Switching home screens seems laggier, as does the browser. Also, my biggest problem is the battery life seems to have gone terrible for me. I unplugged at 8:30am, its now 6pm, and I'm on 50% and I haven't used it at all as I've been in work. With 2.1 I'd have 80+% left.
