i wonder how would it do with the Battery? is it gonna be battery friendly or a totally drain???

Im hoping it doesn't, because when they updated a little while back, facebook was 15% of my battery use!! now I only use it when i need it!!

Facebook isn't really eating my battery at all and already tried the chat it's great. Now we don't have to find another app just to use chat in Facebook.

Since it supports push notification, it should save battery on froyo.

So does that mean that we will have to have a 2.2 ROM for push notifications to work for the FB app? I'm still on 2.1 but looking to jump to 2.2 soon.

I'm on 2.2 and push notifications aren't working for me. I have them enabled of course and if you notice it has options for "Friend Requests, Messages, and Event Invites."
I have had a couple wall comments and comments on my pictures and got no notifications. How stupid is it that you only get push notifications for those three things and not comments on your stuff?

I can't even download it

The new update stopped my widget from working. I'm on Froyo.

The app seems to love locking up and freezing my phone. I'm still on JI2. Anyone else having these issues?

How can notifications be PUSH if there is NO option to select PUSH, I only see time intervals ? WTF

mine's working fine, but the push notifications still not there. i'm on macnut.

this is a big step for android facebook...yet somehow, it is still utter garbage. and now that it has chat (which i will admit is a nice feature, except you cant stay permanently logged in), the only thing holding it back is that it STILL only notifies you of messages, events, and friend requests (no wall, likes, photo tags, i.e. none of the important ones)
i still firmly believe that Bloo 1.5 is the best Facebook app available to android, even though it is no longer on the market. It provides ALL notifications (you can set time frame for how often it checks) and a perfectly functioning chat feature, and birthday reminders, and you can opt to always be logged in to chat unless otherwise specified.
If anyone is interested in the .apk, let me know and ill post it. (it was free, so its not considered warez, right?)

Facebook for blackberry was the best pretty much everything that happened I knew about it very quikly have not enjoyed facebook got android at all hope it gets better
P.s. I finally got it to download and I'm not impressed lol

Not sure if it is specific to the Market app or if it on Google's backend, but the 'trial' period for paid apps (return window) is now only 15 minutes instead of 24 hours.
Pros & Cons
So, it shortens the time for refunds, could be slower than previous version... Any reason I would have to hurry up to install it
? Sooner or later google is going to shove it down my throat doing a forced automatic update most likely
worked for me
thanks

The new market UI is sooooo much worse than the original one... The HUGE part of a screen occupied by a green useless bar is horrible. The screen size for the list, the thing I'm more interested in, is much smaller. Carousel for featured apps - I'd much rather see the apps in the list than swiping them.
This's just my opinion, of course
Im really liking this new market app. I think its a very clean ui and I don't miss the tabs at all. Reviews and related and developer info all on one page. Seemed as fast as the last version.

While i like the overall look of the new market i agree, you should have the option of hiding the carousel. Definatly takes up to much screen/app list space. Would be nice to be able to slide it up/down much like the notification dropdown.
Also think the 15 min trial is not enough time to test so apps, i.e. Location based apps. Say you DL it indoors/area with no GPS signal and by the time you can get outdoors to test you realize app doesnt work because of a defective GPS ;-). I think trials periods should be developers choice with a minimum of 30 mins

Have cm6.1 Beta3 installed and get nothing but fc's. If i clear data through manage applications I get it to present terms and conditions and after I accept I see the new UI for a sec (if that) before it just exits and fc's repeatedly.
tried it and it's looking good. but seems a little bit laggy.

[Q] Messanging icon...

Question about an icon in my text message log... when viewing all of my messages there are two contacts names with an "x" in a circle (icon) on the far right side of the column. Anyone have any idea what this means? I googled it can't find anything...
By the way I'm using unamed 1.3 rom
I'm pretty sure you are looking at their google talk status.. You should also see green and red circles for friends who are signed into gtalk.. It's not an issue and I don't know how you would get rid of it if it bothered you..

Here's the thing... it doesn't do anything. Also... why wouldn't it show up on all the numbers? Neither one is on Google+ and the only other accounts I have are FB & Twitter and everyone in the message list is linked to both.
i'm pretty sure thats their google talk status. If they're signed out of gtalk, it will appear as grey or an 'x' (depending on the rom or theme you are running). I can't think of anything else it would be. As as test, look at their contact in your address book, it will probably have the same icon. If not, i'm at a loss as to what else it could be.

Thanks for the feedback! As stated above neither person has Google+... not only that Google+ does not sync with contacts in any way as far as I can tell.

you dont need google+. if you signed into google talk at least once on your phone, then that icon may appear. no google+ needed.
Gtalk and google+ I think are not the same. Gtalk is connected to your gmail account because everyone who uses gmail is on gtalk. So my guess is that you have their emails and they use Android or previously used gtalk/ email you through gmail. ~ my guess.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I dont think they are the same, but I dont know that for sure. However I have never even opend the app, so that eliminates that I think. I looked over the user manual, didnt find anything there... Im using unamed rom, I dont think its rom based.
Nope, not ROM based.. Ask those friends to sign into gtalk, their status (the grey circle) should then change as well.. I'm 100% positive it's gtalk related because I have grey, red, and green circles by many of my contacts.. I'm just not sure how it got picked up with certain contacts of yours if you say you never signed into gtalk on your phone..

Draw something crazy unstable on leaked ICS

Is it just ICS, or did I screw up my phone?
I'm not really sure what you want to know. Post a screenshot or give a discription of the issue.

No it's not just you, mine is crazy too with this update. For one it's the update from Draw Something (there's crazy ads now) ,combined with the ad killer built in the ROM, not a good combo. Just my opinion.
Really hate the new update. Ads are so obnoxious. Zanga screwed it up badly.
It ran fine for me but deleted it after the new update when they requested access to my email. I declined and uninstalled. They decided they were going to email me anyways so I sent back a nasty email. They replied back with instructions on how to unsubscribe and I responded back with a picture showing no hyperlink on the unsubscribe. Zynga is a evil company and wants way too much access.

Wait a minute, what?!?!??
Access to your email, how? As in, your email address and email password?
And for what reason?
I dont play Draw Something so forgive my ignorance or I would look into this myself.
Definitely 2 to 3 times the ads now... I have stopped playing.

Just giving a warning. Freezing, force closes, crashing, etc. ICS may be a bad idea for draw something addicts. The new version of draw something was rock solid on GB before I flashed.
Or pay .99¢ and get ad free. Works on ics for me 100% lag free.

The top app is Facebook in Wakelock Detector. It's the main culprit but I have even disabled the Notifications from the FB app and also disabled it to autostart using AutoRun Manager + Greenify it whenever I don't use it.

I've tried Greenify and it doesn't work all that well. Facebook is one of the apps it just can't hibernate and it always starts up again.
I found a workaround though, but it depends on how intensly you depend on Facebook.
I installed an app called App Quarantine. It puts apps (even system ones) down to sleep without any chance of them starting up again without your consent. The thing is it's not as simple as with Greenify, since when you Quarantine an app, it dissappears from the phone. Icon, widgets, shortcuts, everything, it's like you don't have it installed.
The thing is you have to set a widget from App Quarantine for the app you quarantined and then the widget comes out in form on the app's icon, with a lock on it. If you want to use the app, you just click on the widget and then it comes back to life and opens. If you're done using the app, you click the icon-widget again and it locks it, and that's it.
I use it on the Facebook app and it doesn't come back on eating my battery, however the "downside" is that if you rely constantly on FB notifications and such, you won't get them since the app is quarantined. However I set my Facebook account up so that everytime I get a notification it sends me an email, so via email I'm still "getting my notificacions" even though the app is quarantined.
I guess it depends on everyone's usage of a determined app, but FOR ME it has gone well and saved me a lot of battery life since I've quarantined a bunch of apps that I just use or check a couple of times a day and that are major battery drainers if not controlled.
Thanx for ur suggestion. I'll try the app too.

[APP] WearNotifications: Show full text of Notifications

Hey there!
I recently released an application to show the full text of messages that were shortened before.
It works by replacing the Notifications with Notifications from my app that use either "BigText" or Stacked format to show you the full text.

Be nice to be able to set the text font size in either stacked or big text.
Also, what about a left swipe that then shows all stacked cards fully opened out? I suggest this as if you have a lot stacked cards, it can be a pain to expand them.
Not sure about the Big Text option as it seems difficult to distinguish where one message ends and a new message begins.
Cheers.

Sorry guys! I just uploaded a fix.
Not sure how easy is it, or whether the app itself needs to do this, but is it possible to add 'reply' options to apps such as fb messenger, whatsapp, skype etc?
Unfortunately this is impossible, as there's no way to do this. The app developers from WhatsApp etc. have to implement it themselves.

Yeah, it’s updated to the last version. I’ve done the last update just three days ago.
I can read the full text, now. But only if there is one message. If they are more than one, I see only the beginning of them — few words. But thankfully I’ve finally got how to bypass the stacked messages’ issue with Wear Notifications.
A very useful and helpful APP.
Thanks!
