Facebook update 1.5 just rolled out, and added chat and push notifcations. However, mine do not seem to be working.

If I heard correctly, froyo isn't supported, since its only 2.2+ that has cloud APK support. Not 100% sure though.

I am currently running CM6.1 on my Dinc, which is based on 2.2.1, so I'm wondering why this isn't working.

[Droid Incredible General] talktoanil:
1. not working.

2. If its REAL PUSH, why do we see Time Interval settings ?
[Droid Incredible General] csseale:
it means it has push for chat notifications....I don't know why we can't get it for the whole app
[Droid Incredible General] JetBomber117:
Other people have said that it is working for things like comments and messages, and I've even seen a few people with push working on evo and inc, so I'm confused why it seems so hit or miss with people's updates.

EDIT: Ok, yeah, push is working for chat. Hrumph. If that's all they added, this is pretty stupid.
[Droid Incredible General] TheWizKid95:
+1, the whole app actually needs a good rewrite!
[Droid Incredible General] lemaj5:
Push is working for comments, messages, chat on my DInc, so it must be hit or miss;)
[Droid Incredible General] NickTheCreator:
Ya I got push working for everything, time interval settings has nothing to do with it. I've been getting replies wall posts everything instantly in the form of a notification and its really nice and usefull
[Droid Incredible General] Erickomen27:
Yeah, I'm Running MIUI And I Have Push Notifications Working As Well
[Droid Incredible General] Goalieman009:
it's working for me but killing my battery at the same time. I had it on to refresh everyhour apparently and Facebook has been running in the background for over 3 hours which keeps my phone awake.
[Droid Incredible General] JetBomber117:
Well, then it's looking like maybe its a CM6.1 specific thing, huh.. lame. :/
[Droid Incredible General] Paul600k5:
My Dinc, stock 2.2, is receiving some things via instant push and other things at the interval update. It's stupid because if it would just push everything, I could turn the email updates off but I can't figure out what is consistently pushing yet.
[Droid Incredible General] bbuchho90:
Nope. I'm running Redemptive Rev. 2.1.3 and all i'm getting for push noti's is chat. And one message, but ive had MANY facebook notifications since updating, and none of them have pushed to my phone. The dev's for FB for android need to redo that entire app, imo. Compared to iphone's fb app, its a joke.
[Droid Incredible General] csseale:
ditto.....
[Droid Incredible General] Valbuhdee:
I was getting notifications for everything: comments, messages, wall posts, chat, etc...that is until I rooted. :(
[Droid Incredible General] keith.mcintyre26:
Same. On Cyan nightly 184. I'll get no notifications pushed, sign on via pc, and see 3 IM comversations. Irritating.
[Droid Incredible General] CleverName:
No notifications here either. It seems like chat rapes my battery too.
[Droid Incredible General] Jes7er:
Facebook is wrecking my battery. There was no issue before I actually launched the application, but ever since, it's been keeping my phone awake.

My phone's been unplugged for 6 hours, running 36.1% of that, with the screen on for 6.4% of that. That's about 2 hours awake, and almost a half hour of screen time. According to spare parts, facebook has kept the phjone awake like 6 times as long as the next offender, Android system. The rest of the apps on the list are little slivers.

This is with Facebook Notifications turned off in settings, and I'm like 75% sure I had signed out of chat.

I hadn't changed the default number of backups in Titanium, so I only have one backup of Facebook, which is from like the day after the update came out. Can I just uninstall it? Or will **** hit the fan?

Actually anybody know where I can find an APK for the last update of facebook? That worked fine. If I uninstall updates and then install that APK over the version that came on my phone it should be fine. I froze it for now in Titanium.

EDIT: I was able to downgrade back to facebook 1.4. Go either the Market or Application Settings, go to facebook, and uninstall the updates. Then install this over the version taht came with your phone: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/download/temp/1288808520_Facebook_for_Android_1.4.0.apk
[Droid Incredible General] Goalieman009:
I've been having the same problem. some days my battery is fine and other time Facebook suck it dry. if I'm signed out of chat too.. i dont get it
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
I also am having no luck with any type of push on my DINC not even the chat is working for me and the battery life sucks like everyone else says. Everyone needs to email the devs and give them a ear full!
[Droid Incredible General] misterctw:
What version of MIUI? I'm running 12.11.1 and I am only getting chat notifications. When I was running Uber DesireZ I would get notifications for everything.
[Droid Incredible General] Valbuhdee:
After looking at my settings on Facebook, under the Notifications tab, I saw that HTC Sense was not checked for permission to send notifications. After checking that I now receive all notifications. Apparently some people also have to check something called Android Sync. I did not have this, however.
[Droid Incredible General] SirBindy:
Have my time interval set to "never" and I'm getting push notifications for comments and likes and whatnot.

[Droid 2 General] a42887:
Does anyone know the location of the PRL in the file system (without having to hook it up to PST through the Serial Emulator)?
[Droid 2 General] cellzealot:
You cannot access the part of the EFS that contains the nvm directory where the PRL is stored. This has been the case for all Motorola handsets since the V3m.

The only way to pull the PRL is via DIAG mode NV access which can be done without the virtual serial port if you have the right Qualcomm diagnostic drivers.
[Droid 2 General] bladearronwey:
With a bit of effort you could probably access the EFS with either cdma ws or qpst, though I haven't used either program in a couple years. Used to be able to do it with bitpim in most cases as well, though it's hard to say what kind of compatibility you'll have and i'm not even sure if they are maintaining that project anymore
[Droid 2 General] cellzealot:
You can't access the part of the EFS that contains the NVM directory.

If you haven't tried in a few years then your information is extremely dated.

You cannot read or write the PRL without NV access.

The OP wanted a method that does not involve using a virtual COM port for the modem.

All of the methods of reading/writing PRLs including QXDM, QPST and CDMA Workshop require a COM port assignment.

The one method of NV access that does not need a virtual COM port is RadioComm, but it doesn't have a specific way to read and write the PRL and must be done by pulling the raw hex data from seem 0101.

The problem is that the PRLs have grown over the years and are now larger than 4kb, which is the limit of the size of a single SEEM element that can be read using the STELEM/RDELEM module in RadioComm.

So, if you try to write the PRL as a SEEM element you dont get it all and your PRL is corrupt as a result and your phone will not boot until it's fixed.

Hey, I'm using a ginger bread theme on cm6.1 and I am trying to make it look a much kilter ginger bread as possible until the evo actually gets a gingerbread rom. And u wad wondering if ous possible to get the 3d app drawer from either 2.2 or 2.3 without using launcher pro. And if it is possible, mmm maybe post it? Lol. Thanks in advance!
[Droid X General] MacdaddyDC:
Here's the background: I have a droid x, rooted with the latest z4root. Previously deleted some of the bloat (and yes, completely deleted with no backup).

As most of you know, I cannot use the official ota update from verizon (continually fails to install whether I keep root on or off). Currently have system version 2.3.15 mb810 verizon.en.us and (if it means anything), android version 2.2.

To further complicate this, I have no access to any kind of windows machine, pure Mac only.

Here's the $ 64,000 question; can I simply revert to a factory wipe (to reload all the crap I deleted), update via the official update and then reroot via z4root? Do I need to make a backup of some sort and if so, using what? Or, am I going to lose all data to date?

Any help will be greatly appreciated by this very non-technical, wanna-be rooter.

Please, no flames regarding the winbloze ...

Again, thanks in advance if you have the patience to try and help me. I'm terrified of bricking my phone.

PMs are fine, too
[Droid X General] mbh87:
Factory reset will only delete user data, it doesn't reinstall stock apps.
[Droid X General] milan616:
You will lose your apps and data with this method, but it's the cleanest way to do it. If you choose not to wipe data you may end up with an unstable phone. To be honest since you're coming from a stock image rather than one of the "roms" around here you might be able to get away with it. Just skip step 6. I'm still going to go with the clean route though.

Make sure your phone is fully charged!

1) Get Titanium Backup and back up all your app data.

2) Get Droid X Bootstrapper and install it.

3) Get Rom Manager, goto Download Roms and get the stock 2.2 image. Remember where it downloads to!

4) Go into Droid X Bootstrapper and reboot into (clockworkmod) recovery. In recovery you use the volume up/down keys to go up/down, the camera key to select and the back button to go back.

5) In recovery go into backup and restore, and make a backup. When it's done hit the back button to get to the main menu.

6) Choose to wipe data and then also wipe cache.

7) Go into mounts and storage, mount system and data (you'll know they are mounted because the option will now say "unmount system")

8) Choose install zip from SD card, and pick the image that Rom Manager downloaded.

9) Reboot system

If you get stuck in a boot loop, pull the battery out. Put the battery back in, and then hold down the home and power buttons until a triangle with an exclamation point pops up. Press the search button to get into the stock recovery. Wipe data/cache.
[Droid X General] Acid'sMark:
Try the sbf file for your version. Way more simple than the post above and you will be able to upgrade with the new OTA.
[Droid X General] pjsockett:
Why bother getting back to a stock .15 build in order to update when you can just go straight to the 2.3.340 and get the same result quicker without having to unroot and then reroot?

My Droid World has all of the necessary pieces in zip files to upgrade the bootloader, kernel, radio, and system. Just flash them in the order that they appear on the post restart between each update.

[Droid X General] milan616:
He has a Mac.
[Droid X General] pjsockett:
They aren't sbf files so it doesn't matter, it can be done entirely from the phone. It's just a series of zip file that need to placed on the sd card and installed via clockwork recovery.
[Droid X General] milan616:
Whoops! That's what I get for only reading the first half of your post :D
[Droid X General] Vlambo:
I've downloaded all the files and moved them to my SD card. When I reboot into recovery and select update.zip I get an error saying it can't find the file. I don't see update.zip anywhere on my SD card. Do I need to have this on my card before installing the .zip files?
[Droid X General] citanes-26:
Are you using the droid x bootstrapper and rebooting into recovery , also mounting system?
[Droid X General] kdkinc:
use the "choose zip file" option instead of the "update zip file" option.

seems the same but is different .
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
I know this won't effect most people, but I know it has others. So, just an FYI for all the chefs and lay people, there is a massive problem (supposedly anyway) with EVERY FroYo leak that Samsung has put out. And as a result, it seems to effect all of the custom roms.

What is it? The android_id number is the same on EVERY device with that rom. This doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is if an app (like Kik Messenger) uses that ID as part of other things.

How can you fix it? Here are some instructions (assuming you use root explorer):

Make sure to change the bold part of the command. This can be just some random 16 character hex value.

Props go to Hanness for his original post that lead me to a solution.

For chefs, here is a bug report about it.
[Vibrant Android Development] texasrocket:
Or you can just download android Id changer from the market. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
I wouldn't have offered up this solution, if that actually worked. Tried it on even a stock rom, and it fails. So, no, you can't. It doesn't request SU permission till AFTER the app tries to make function calls. Which causes the whole process to fail. As such, that app does NOT work to fix this. And SQLite Editor doesn't work either, because it doesn't seem to see a DB in the folder.

I spent lots of time yesterday (had to flash back to stock when I broke it) and a bit today working on this till it finally did work.
[Vibrant Android Development] texasrocket:
Lol how you gonna tell me it doesn't work? I use it everytime I install a custom rom. I have to use it because if I don't imobsters doesn't work and I always play that game. If it doesnt work for you you have to get busybox from the market and install that then use android id changer. So yes you can.

One more thing you do is get your original android Id that you have on your stock rom and use that one with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
Agreed! I use it every time I flash for storm8 games to work.
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
What.The.****. You're pulling a rabbit out of your ass and telling me that I can't tell you it doesn't work, but yet, it doesn't work. Pot. Kettle. Black? Yes. God **** XDA is such **** now. All because of people like you.
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
And sure enough, installed it, fail. ****ing fail. Instead of coming into a thread as if OMG EVERYTHING I SAY IS GOING TO BE RIGHT!!!!!!! and posting, sit, think about your post, and make it in a helpful manner. You could have asked what the error was, you could have done other things. Like, you know, just make the god damn suggestion about the BusyBox thing. But, alas, this is falling on deaf ears.
[Vibrant Android Development] texasrocket:
first of all calm the **** down. Xda is **** cause of people like me? look at your post. your a little kid throwing a ****ing tantrum. I told you how to get it to work and you start talking **** like that? Xda has gone to **** cause of people like you who can't read instructions and come here and flame people who give suggestions to get it to work. So instead of throwing your little tantrum go read up.

So instead of telling me it doesn't work as if that is a fact when I know it ain't don't get your feelings hurt when someone else proves you wrong you little crybaby
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
lulz telling me about throwing a tantrum, but you come in and post **** like this:
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
What error are you getting? The process I use is dloading id changer onto the working 2.1 rom. Open it. Copy the id (exactly as it reads) onto a paper or other source. Dload id changer and busybox onto new 2.2 rom. Open id changer, type in old id. Click "change id". Has worked flawlessly for me every flash. Thanks for providing an alternate method.
[Vibrant Android Development] texasrocket:
Yea cause my first post was me telling you how to get it to work and then you come in here cussing at me and telling me xda has gone to **** cause of people like me. please, I was just giving suggestions and you went all bat****. anyway I'm done.

Yea, but only those who included their phone no. in their facebook's profile. To see the complete list of your FB's contact, including those who didn't include their contact no., you can find them through "people" > "online directories" > "facebook".

Ohno, I'm so sorry! I realise I'm using Facebook for HTC Sense all the while. I had to manually link the my contacts. :(

Sorry for the confusion!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
Oh I see. So what's the process like? Under Accounts and Sync, add a HTC Sense for Facebook account first is it? And let it sync?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpf16:
I would use Facebook sence. The reason I say this is because it should suggest auto links for your contacts. However I still found it got a little confused and was better to link manually. Also it will give you more options with other HTC features. Also if you then use Facebook for android make sure you chose not to sync contacts. This is because your contacts will get two lots of Facebook info, one from sence and one from android. Found that a right pain.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.ink:
Yea, I think that's what I did. Under Accounts & Sync > Facebook for HTC Sense > Sync contacts.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
This will auto sync the phone contacts with the Facebook one? Or need to manually sync?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burning_aces:
I use both, as I've had issues syncing at different times. As long as the names are similar or there is something similar about the contacts it will ask to link them, least it did for my 300 contacts on the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joss-21:
Hi,

I've had the same problem which I can't resolve.

I have both a "Facebook" account and a "Facebook for HTC sense" account. I can sync the facebook account to my contacts in my cellphone (HTC DHD) just fine. All my contacts will be sync'd and it will get me their pictures from facebook, however those pictures are zoomed in and of bad quality.

Therefore I chose to sync "Facebook for HTC sense" to my contacts. It gives me better pictures (except there is a Facebook logo on them), and it writes their last wall post in my contacts list.

The issue is that it doesn't sync all my contacts (which are in both my facebook friends and my phone contacts of course), I have 2 or 3 people missing...

I looked on the Internet for hours and didn't find any solution. It's either all the contacts with bad pictures, or most of them with good pictures but F logo on them.

If anyone gets more info about all that, please answer.

Thank you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eozen81:
I could not understand the exact logic difference between Facebook & Facebook for HTC Sense and also Tweeter & Tweeter for HTC Sense and how to sync them (both or only select one).

All I want to see my "Favoruites" widget update my contacts status on a regular basis from facebook or tweeter (whichever one is most updated).

How you guys use this?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blinque:
Agree with this 100%, I prefer using the official Facebook app, instead of Facebook for HTC Sense, however I'm thoroughly annoyed that the picture qualities are awful and zoomed in.

Googled it up and found that Facebook app was update in version 1.4 to allow high-res pictures to be linked to the contacts, but for some reason on the DHD even though the Facebook app is at version 1.5 the image qualities are still terrible.

Anyone managed to sync their Facebook contacts/pictures to their DHD without using HTC Sense and still getting good quality images?
