Facebook badge notification missing - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

I remember at some point before some software updates the Facebook app used to be show notifications via the little round badge on the top-right of the app icon. It hasn't been working since I did an update (not sure what version it was). In the app permission info this function is still listed there. Do you guys have the same issue too?

Not sure how this is related to the xzu.... Are you using a stock ROM? If so get rid of the xperia social media bloat and download them manually from the play store.

Brah I think you're the only one who uses that on this site.
Anyways I'm not sure if you can downgrade an update, but what you can do is flash an earlier version of your ROM and then disable/ignore the updates
So knowing what version of Android you're using would help.

Thanks for the suggestion but I wont go as far to flashing/downgrading the rom to get a feature back. I am on the latest 5.1.1 build.

[Q] [APP] Netflix works but won't update

2.3.4 fixed the weird green bar and red offset on the netflix app, but it doesn't seem to want to update even though it persists with an annoying update popup
try manually installing the newest APK.
Where would I find it?
mediafire.com/file/o9duiefnon2ojjt/Netflix.apk
Try This. It's working fine for me. Sorry for the non-link. Still not up to 8 posts.
Actually. Try this one. I think it's newer.

danjbry does this version just skip the checking for update process?
The latest posted version seems to be the updated apk. No more update request for me. THANKS!

Yep. I had both of those in my folder. One of them will ask for an update. The other will not.
Sorry to be difficult. I didn't keep them separate and didn't know which was which.

Thanks for the updated file, for some reason it is not working in full screen for me ? is there a solution to that ?
I don't know. I've not had any issues playing full screen. Are you talking about letterbox or bars on the aide? Mine doesn't even have the option to view it in a smaller window.

It may be what you are watching. I am a big King of the Hill fan and those don't play fullscreen, but if I watch a movie it does. Just depends on what you are watching....atleast it is for me.

Or did ATT rip it out and put in their absolutely terrible att drive app.

So apparently you can only get into car mode when you connect you one to their car dock. That's the only way to do it. It's in the user guide.

What I thought was funny was that I loaded Nova Launcher on my phone. Then all of a sudden I had 4 apps that weren't there in the Sense launcher. Now I have "Car", "Flash Player Settings", "PDF Viewer", and "Polaris Office". So, you don't have to be rooted. The apps all work. But for some reason, Sense for AT&T is hiding the apps. Use another launcher. It'll be there.

Yes, you can even just download one of those widgets that just launches apps (I use Circle Launcher or More Icons Widget) and it shows up in their list.
It's there. Install quick shortcutmaker and create a shortcut to it
Can someone just upload the apk from the international version?
It's on the phone already. You would just need to "unhide" it by using another launcher or one of the apps previously mentioned.

Or we could just do it the right way and install the apk (if someone ups it) and it will add it to the Sense Launcher.... instead of Installing another app and or launcher.
Get it?

[update]
This breaks after reboot. Then tried uninstalling updates from app manager... and it completely uninstalled it... without root access.
Doesnt make sense. Possibly do this for all bloat to get rid of it without root...

I loaded ARHD several times and could not get the camera to work, it just hangs when launched. Were you able to get around that? I figured this was AT&T specific.
Download the newest 6.0
There was an issue before with the build that caused camera and WiFi issues.
Should be fixed now tho.

Suspicious app called MtkCamera

Rooted my phone using the Vroot method and did some surveying with permission manager, xPrivacy and I stumbled upon a mysterious app called MtkCamera (com.example.cameraroot). I have no recollection of ever installing this app. I find this suspicious because I use permission manager on other phones running ICS and never have to deal with this app before. Considering all the apps listed are installed from Google Play Store, I decided to restrict all permission and uninstall the app. Check out the permissions list.

If root fail then we see toast notifications that restore successful and this app we can see in multitask... I think it is for reverting back if root fails...

I'm not convinced. Looking at the network permissions, it doesn't make sense why it would need to control network access.

If you not sure if you want to remove it yet, put it behind a firewall

or freeze the app

I rooted with Vroot, installed english SU and then removed the Chinese SU using the vroot app and I don't have the app installed.
Removed it as soon as I saw it. Better not run it, and remove it does nothing to the root.

Sure, but what does it do? Does it steal your contacts? Send SMS'? Log your IMEI? Log your keystrokes? Or is it nothing out of the ordinary? Who knows!
I could decompile it myself, but I have no idea what to look for, so that's a complete waste of time.
We can make a game out of this. Post what you think it does, and we'll see who wins The winner gets an Xperia Z1 (image from the internetz).

A quick Google search reveals that "MTK" is MediaTek, a Taiwanese semiconductor company that's in the smartphone business, so I guess that's something? Still doesn't tell us why MediaTek's camera thingy is installed on some Ultras, though.

So the reason some people do not have can be simply because they do not have a TW firmware. Have a TW firmware and got it after vroot. But where would be the point for vroot to put a malicious apps on your phone when they can do anything they want while rooting your device? Maybe you should not take your phone with you on the bathroom, they may record you hahahaha.

So you don't find the following permissions suspicious?
Change network connectivity
Connect and disconnect wifi
Full network access
View network connection
View wi-fi connection
Pair with bluetooth devices
Allow wifi multicast reception
Call me paranoid, but I think this is a spying app...
this app with us from the beginning.
this is what I found -platform for the bottom and top of the camera for a detailed explanation of the process and the introduction of the frame code
that does seem suspicious.
Is the view that this root method is trustworthy?
Trying to weigh up if all is well before I root.

I do not remember my phone saying this app updated. When I check the play store for Samsung Push Services I only see a Uninstall option no update. So I am guessing I have the update installed for better battery life but I am not sure how to tell. It does not look like you can open the app.

To apply it you have to go to the themes app that came with the phone. Them click on the tab that says "me" on the bottom right, then click customize and click on text and your downloaded font should be in there.

I'm in the UK. But did you click on the tab that says Me on the bottom right of the themes home screen or click on customize whatever you downloaded with the other themes manager should show up. Maybe you could reboot or close the stock themes app and reopen it so it can refresh. I didn't have to reboot though.
