[Android Software Development] Coedy:
Had missed this thread until now.

I have lost interest in facebooks app recently. the push notifications come through for every tiny little event. The app keeps on chucking you into the browser, no photo tagging, no groups, no useful events, GPS doesnt disable when you use places unless you FC the facebook app... Its a steaming heap of sh't.:mad:

So I set about finding a better way of doing things.

I uninstalled facebook (and wiped it from system/app).

I uninstalled twitter (and wiped it from system/app).

Then I got syncMypix to pull in the facebook images for my contacts.

I changed my FB preferences on the website to send me emails for more activities (sent to my android gmail account for push notifications).

I added a bookmark for the mobile site (you spend half your time there when your in the app anyway!).

I installed tweetdeck for my wall and posting status's.

Since doing the above (and having tweetdeck set to update every 6minutes instead of every half hour like the facebook was doing) I have gained 5hours worth of battery per charge!

that's right, 5! I have not changed my usage at all other than using the mobile site more and having updates pushed 5 times as often.

Facebook, the overinflated, battery leaking, gps raping mess of an application that it is shall never cross my phone again... I'll keep my more useful and more frequent updates with extra battery thanks ;)

(of course if you use FB chat then you will need another app for that, but I dont).

Push notification clarification

I think some people are getting confused between the notifications systems.

First. to clarify:

THE NOTIFICATIONS SETUP WITHIN THE SETTINGS MENU OF FACEBOOK HAS NO BEARING ON 'PUSH' NOTIFICATIONS. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS ARE FAR MORE THOROUGH AND INCLUDE WALL COMMENTS, COMMENTS ON PHOTOS AS WELL AS EVERYTHING COVERED BY THE OLD POLLING SYSTEM SUCH AS INBOX MESSAGES.

You can have these unticked and refresh interval set to 'never' (AS i DO) and you will STILL receive notifications via the C2DM push framework as long as you are on 2.2 or higher. The only reason this settings menu even exists is because those not on Android 2.2 or higher CANNOT use Google's C2DM (Cloud To Device Messaging), so pulling information is their only option.

The PROBLEM lies in the fact that the push service seems to not work on some devices. NONE of my friend's with HTC Sense devices are receiving them, however I am receiving them fine (but for a few phantom missing ones) on my Samsung Galaxy S (see attached picture).

My friend also gets them on his Orange San Francisco running a Modaco Froyo ROM.

You don't even need sync to be turned on.

I think there is definitely a problem server side, but also some kind of conflict with heavily customized Froyo builds. Hopefully this will be fixed fairly soon....followed by some tweaks that bring the app even closer to the iPhone version - although that in itself has glitches and annoying bugs still.

Hope this is of some help.
[General Questions and Answers] irpwnz:
hey guys i am a newb to this forum and so far it is great. But I have a couple questions about my Matrix Pro WM 6.1 device. First off, I have Resco Explorer trial and Total Commander as my modding tools. How do I make the time show up in the taskbar? (I am a newb to WM OS too so am not totally familiar with the terms.) But i see that in some YouTube videos that people have the time in the top menu bar in WM. I have seen other tuts on how to get it by editing the registry but i do not have the TBOpt file in my device, Like I have seen in tuts and videos. I cannot use a custom ROM as I have a PowerPC Macintosh :( . My other question is about the plugin called "metrix" I went on my device and downloaded the newest version off of the developers website but when I tried to install the CAB file onto my device. I get a message saying "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions" is there a way to go into the registry and give it sufficient permissions? Guys I am a complete newb to everything PC( PPC WM all that good stuff) EXCEPT for the computer itself so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

im trying to root my htc desire, its currently running froyo and 0.9 bootloader, as you may know unrevoked cannot root and flash without a bootloader of 0.8 or below, are there any simple guides to downgrade?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vorbeth:
The latest unrevoked can work with 0.93 now (it just wont allow loading of custom recoveries)

But their are quite a few threads already covering downgrading.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_pepper:
Why would I be getting a system update available message with a Telus rooted Desire running Leedroid 2.1 (froyo). What will this update do other than what it says:

update: android OS update patch

enhanced multi inbox gmail support

improved RUS keyboard layout

size is 25.06 MB
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
the update wont do anything as you can install ota updates on a rooted desire with a custom recovery ..... the reason you are getting it is, leedroid is based on the official froyo rom, so i assume what ever update checker comes with that rom hasnt been removed
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr_pepper:
So should I be applying it or will I regret it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
the update will just fail if you have a custom recovery, but you can try :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidftwin:
Im visiting my friend at his apartment and his complex gets no reception. My phone kept shutting down and I was wondering if its possible that it was because it was receiving no reception (no 3G and no bars). He then plugged in his microcell and now I am receiving full bars and my phone has not shut off since. Can someone explain?

-update: phone just turned off with signal. this is getting ridiculous.

I downloaded Nfl live v2.0 from an app called My Market...I have sprint service and the app is from verizon...installs fine but when it loads it gives an error code that I have to be a verizon subscriber to use...any way around that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] storm180:
So I have been through a lot of the threads looking for the answers just to clarify before I attempt to do this again on my mt3g.

I have it rooted with Androot and it worked fine and I installed Rom Manager. Yesterday I did the backup rom command from rom mamanger and it backed up my rom to the sd card.

So today I went and selected download and picked cyanogen 6.0.0 and the google apps and then click on backup rom and wipe cache. Then the phone rebooted and it went to the black screen triangle with the exclamation point and nothing happened. I let it sit for like 15 minutes and nothing. So I pulled the battery and went back into recovery and got to the same screen and it didn't do anything. Now I read in another forum that at that point with the triangle I am supposed to hit the home and power button for it to continue. Is that accurate?

I tried to follow a tutorial for rom manager but it never mentioned anything about that screen with the triangle and yellow exclaimation point. Since I don't think it actually did anything after it rebooted I let the phone boot normally and old rom is still intact. So before I try this again I just want to clarify what I need to do after the point where it reboots and goes to that triangle screen. I really don't want to end of bricking my phone.

Thanks in Advance.

see if you can install ext2 tools again then see if you could uninstall the lag fix after that
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashmouth:
Just click on the yellow boot loader this will remove the lagfix then you can do it again...

That is all
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashmouth:
The boot animation should be green this will restore the playlogs. . Meaning remove the lagfix then you can do it over

That is all
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayprime:
I just had the same problem. I undid the lagfix took out the ext 2 and did a factory reset. Hoping for the stupid sep 20th gps lag fix hoax. it was still rooted after reset. Download one click again and it was telling me i still had a 5kb lag fix installed. It was also telling me something about playlogos1 bin. So i used root exp to get to system/bin playlogos1 removed it. Went back to lag fix it told me i didnt have it. Then i put it back. And it worked. 5kb=playlogos1 bin. Dont just delete in copy and past

I've read earlier posts that had the same problem I do, but most of them were old (and hopefully the problem has been fixed now)

Swype makes the messaging lag because the client has to load a certain amount of messages before you can start. is there a way to either fix this, OR make the client not load as many messages?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moschino02:
i experienced the same problem so had to ditch swpye a few months back, great substitute for typing making fewer mistakes savng time so if anyone does have a solution please let us know
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
nope, apart from regularly deleting your texts theres no way round it....

swype has its own issues with lag though whether its htc messaging or winmo messaging... even right now ads I try and type this reply swype is making me want to smash my face into the phone and scream "why wont you type? why wont you ducking type!!"

:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshoon:
Go to settings tab, then More.

then go to 'Personal', and go to 'Input'.

When your input methode is Swype, tap on the button Options.

In the options scroll a bit down, and look for the part called 'Operation'.

Slide the slider of Speed vs Accuracy completely to the left (fast response).

Then tap ok, and it should work better.

Let me know if it worked for you, because they told me here on XDA it can possibly work, but I dont have received enough text messages yet to test it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammett11:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammett11:
the best "solution" I've discovered is just turning off threaded messages. it's kind of frustrating, but there is no lag now...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrod21i:
I've found that custom keyboards are laggy for me too. The best solution that I have found is to simply make my phone faster. when I overclock or install a custom kernel on my phone, it usually decreases the lag caused by custom keyboards.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo84:
Good point, but it does not work everywhere. If you open a message from the sense preview it always starts the threaded view even if it is disabled in the inbox. Do you know a way how to disable threaded view there too?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammett11:
Yes, you're right, and no, I don't. I just have to go through all the shenanigans of clicking everything. To me, it's worth it to use swype, and it's still faster and less tedious in my opinion, than waiting for messages to load.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammett11:
Now I am using the ShapeWriter beta. It does not lag like Swype, however I really miss the vibration and a few other things. like swyping smileys.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtdRR:
For me, the lag only occurs when I use the newer version, 3.9.

If I use the older version of Swype I get no lag. Don't know what the version is but I attached a screen shot of it.

What makes you think it was someone at palringo that did it?
[Android Apps and Games] nikko1000:
more detailed explanation

Let me make this more clear for you.... I recently downloaded the palringo app....that comes from palringo....I got a message from my server that says an ip address in the UK has been searching through my accounts. So I tracked them down, and it went straight to palringo. The application stole my account info
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
@nikko1000

Actually your explanation isn't very clear.

What server? How did you get this message?

"searching through my accounts"? What does this mean? And what accounts: accounts of IMs that you have connected to your Palringo account?

What account?
[Android Apps and Games] nikko1000:
- ok maybe you don't get this...

1. I downloaded palringo on my android phone

2. I got a message saying that i can't log in on the app

3. I went online, and i got a message from my email, saying that there is suspicious activity on several accounts, coming from 1 ip address

4. I looked up the IP address, it went straight to palringo

5. I posted this up, and complained multiple times, and looked up other people having the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoHippie:
So what happens when you try to log into palringo via there desktop app?

You said you were able to check your email - so does this mean your IM accounts that palringo uses are still working?
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
You didn't answer most of my questions, but nevermind...

Why is it so weird and suspicious to you, that there were connections from Palringo IP, if this is exactly what Palringo should do?
[Android Apps and Games] nikko1000:
you're still not getting this - they showed that they logged in with their ip address, and changed information on mine, without permission, obviously meaning that they logged in, with the info that was given to them
[Android Apps and Games] nikko1000:
they showed obvious proof that they were trying to change my password, so i had to recover it through my cellphone
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoHippie:
Please describe the "obvious proof".
[Android Apps and Games] nikko1000:
unable to log into my account, with my password.....
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
Yeah, but this is how Palringo works - it connects to services from Palringo servers. So if e.g. someone guessed your Palringo password, then he got access to all your connected accounts and all connections were from Palringo IP.

I mean: that may not be a guy from Palringo, but anyone who got access to your Palringo account.
[Android Apps and Games] nikko1000:
this is not a random person, my password is practically un-guessable.... its a 20 letter code.... example : XAO352Fs3934HOe93kdj..... and who would have access to my account? i don't share my password, or my cellphone
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoHippie:
1. WHICH Account? Do you mean just your palringo account, or all the IM accounts you are using with it?

Here is my guess of what's happened.

You installed Palringo on your Android device, started up and everything looks normal.

Now ONE (or maybe more?) or your IM accounts is indicating there was some weird activity.

You went to whatever IM account and noticed a bunch of connections from the palringo servers. (This is OK and actually not a problem - as that's how the palringo service works)

Thus - your handheld is probably logging you out and logging you in again over and over - which causes your IM service to think there is a problem when there is not. Either your 3G is going off or your wifi is going off - prolly when you put your phone in standby.
[Android Apps and Games] nikko1000:
that is probably what happened.... but how do you explain the fact that my password was changed on facebook, and gmail?
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoHippie:
Good question. It *does* sound like you hacked somehow - but I seriously doubt that anyone at palringo had anything to do with it.

Either someone got your palringo username/password and then changed your passwords to gmail and facebook via that (if you even can) - or you were hacked some other way.

I would take a close look at your home computer (or any other machines you've used lately) and make sure you have no virus / trogans / mailware etc on those because odds are that's actually where the hack happened.

Have you had any luck recovering your facebook and gmail accounts? What a bummer I know how bad that sucks.

[Android Apps and Games] xatrekak:

[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I'm still waiting to see actual evidence.... Otherwise, as they say, pics or it didn't happen.
[Android Apps and Games] sfreemanoh:
True...but they're also registered to the corporations/individuals assigned to them by the ISP. For instance, if you ping yahoo.com it'll resolve (at least here, right now) as 98.137.149.56. If you then do a whois by IP, it'll show the OrgName, which is Yahoo.

Also, however it happened, it appears he was "hacked" in one fashion or another. Probably a trojan with a built-in keylogger, like someone else mentioned. Since it's a 20 character random password (and seriously, that's just not necessary...it just makes your life difficult logging in each time) the chances are pretty slim someone guessed it or got in with a brute force dictionary attack.
[Android Apps and Games] evohack99:
I'm saying a trojan with a key logger, or your computer savy 5 year old, I'd go with my first pick though.
