Facebook panel - XPERIA X1 General

Hi All,
Does anyone else find the Facebook panel a bit slow? I've just installed it and it's taking forever to do anything... It also won't let me "comment" on people's status updates. Any way to get around that?
Thanks all

Are you using WiFi or 3G? I don't think commenting on people's statuses is a big deal though, maybe we'll get an updated panel someday.

I'm using 3G... but it has sped up quite a bit now (i think it was just because i was loading it for the first time).
I can comment on peoples status by using the internet explorer anyway
Does the facebook panel push through updates of when someone emails/messages/writes on wall etc?

No, it has to refresh (manually,every 1/5/60 minute intervals depending on your settings).

You should install the updated facebook panel. It is much faster.

My FaceBook panel wont show my friends/pix!!!
Is there a hidden setting or something? Is it a WiFi only thing? I have the updated one. It loads me in the center, but thats all. When I do into the menu, to "Friends", it shows them with pix.
Thanks in advance.

New Official Panel: Evernote

New Panel from SE: Evernote.
Eh.. Links and description would be good?
Anyway, since you won't, I will.
Remember everything! Evernote turns your mobile phone into an extension of your brain:
Take notes, snap photos, draw sketches, and record audio. Evernote keeps it all in sync and always available.

not really my cup of tea but it's better than no new panels at all ...
thanks for the link ...
Sounds like a limited version of footprints, without the fun bit, the maps!
Hmm, that actually sounds usefull. Well, at least, if it weren't for the ultra slow panels.
I'll check this out in a sec.
[Edit] Heh. I like it. Although the INK NOTE is the only one i can imagine myself using, its pretty neat. Thumbs up for S.E. this time!

So basically Evernote stores things on server?

panel-free version :
http://www.evernote.com/about/download/#a-mobile
I use Generic_SE rom with the official R2A update. I tried 3 times to install Evernote panel but it stopped at 50% every time, then you don't hve a choice to cancel it. You must softreset youre device.
It doesn't work for me!

It's not, Evernote is first and foremost a noting program. There is also a PC client. It's like OneNote Mobile with ink support.
Can you tell me where these notes are stored?
I mean I never ever used this software before, is it storing it in the internet/server?
I checked it out and it's pretty sweet. (the panel-free version, of course) This seems like a great option if you want to work on a document both on a PC and on the X1 without all the hassle of syncing/attaching/etc. One unfortunate thing is that is seems like once you close an "ink" note, you can't re-edit. (But I have Screenwriter, an awesome handwritten note program)
it actually updates the panel image too! is this a first?

The Sony Ericsson panels are updating the images as well. If you change the layout or background the images on the panel manager change as well.
ive been using the panel free version of evernote for a while now.. it is pretty cool... very handy...
gonna check out the panel now.. sort of like dashwire.. i dont like the panel, but i like dashwire... i have a feeling i will have the same thoughts about evernote...

yeah but if you take a picture with the camera and send it to evernote, then go back to the panels screen while it's in view you can see a small version ( thumbnail ) of your picture on the evernote panel.
Hello to every one.
I am quite a new user of Evernote. I created and account and then I installed this panel. While i was connected through USB I did not have any problem to connect with the Evernote server.
Today I tried to connect through HSDPA to add a new note but there is an error while I am trying to login
Error occured while interacting with Evernote Service: The server name or address could not be resolved Error: 0x00100006

First, I thought it was a connection problem, but all panels are connecting normally (facebook, youtube, spb). Also, I can browse internet through IE or opera. I googled it but no results.
Does anyone have the same problem?

Is your phone connected with the USB cable to your computer? I had the same problem, but once I removed the USB cable it connected instantly.
I've had the same problem. Dunno if you guys are still looking for a solution, but if you are; you can find it here.

Keep track of data transfer (GPRS)

Is there any way to keep track of the amount of data transferred through GPRS.
I currently subscripe to 200mb transfer per month, so I would like to keep track of this or it could become pretty expensive for me
If you google, you'll find a couple of commercial ones, but I found this for free a while ago. To be honest, I haven't a clue where I got it from, but it was definitely free.
Ave it!
Thats exactly what I had in mind!
Thanks alot!!

You're welcome
It's a good app - very basic, but does exactly what you need. If I remember correctly, it also ensures that it's always running, until you manually stop it, so if you reboot your phone when it's running, it starts when the phone boots up again.
This looks pretty cool.
Shame it's not got a nicer looking icon
Scary how much data browsing full web pages uses but this device is just sooooo good at it

Yeah it sure works perfectly.
Nice to be able to set the date when it's supposed to restore as well.
Actually I don't find it in the task manager, at least not as a program, so it's no risk that one closes it unintentionally, which is great. It's really super
+1
Thanks
it'S a trial version ... go to "about" and it ask you for a serial number.
It most certainly is.
Well, as long as it's not a trial that will expire it works just fine for me, I don't need any other functions.
I seem to be getting red crosses in the connections is that normal?
That happens when your connection isn't active. If you start surfin the cross will probably disappear
Seems to work so far. 25kb just for email (imap4 headers) and weather update But again the problem that the connection doesn't disconnect by itself after 60sec (seems to happen when I update the weather, otherwise it seems to disconnect fine)
Did you do the tweak so it disconnects?
Remember to disable all auto-update, including weather and TIME!
Then it works with the autodisconnect.

Pictures in Gmail??

I can't believe that even on my beautiful sleek Nexus One, I can't view embedded email pictures. Does anyone know why this is? And if not maybe some one knows how to fix it? This is actually ridiculous if you ask me, its the Gmail app that has been made by Google for a Google operating system on a Google phone but it can't display embedded email pictures? Whats going on here?
It works fine for me... Did you push the "Show Pictures" button near the top of the email?
Sometimes they show up for me. Usually they don't though and I always press 'show pictures'. I love the phone bit its the least of my issues: I can't send mms to any phone bit android, I get 'uportal error' on a common site that the iPhone 3g and 3gs access no problem, and I often get a quarter of an inch of orange load bar when clicking a link in the browser which sometimes is only remedied by a phone reset. I have loved all 3 of my android phones though and Its google we're talking about. They are all about te internet and I trust they are diligently working to improve te average, albeit fast browser experience.
I just read my post and good God this keyboards tough to type on.

Change your user agent like I suggested your other thread, and use the speech to text. ; )
I have pressed show picture, all i get is a question mark in a little blue box and i can see the frame of the picture that is spoused to be there. I know im not the only person people. Don't make me feel like im the only one here..
Currently, the gmail app does not support embedded pictures in emails. When you see pictures it's because the person attached the picture to the email. The only way to see embedded pictures in an e-mail on your phone is to log into gmail through the browser. This has been like this since 1.5 and has been submitted to google numerous of times. Hopefully they will fix this problem.

I have the same issue as OP and have since I can remember (since I got my G1 on pre-order) and clicking on "show pictures" and clicking on the blue square does nothing for me on my G1 and my Nexus.
/agree with mgorman.....
Embedded pictures is working just fine in the Gmail app, had some ad-spam from Direct2Drive, Apple, Impulse etc in my inbox just now and they all had embedded pictures. Clicked show pictures and it worked like a charm, this was also over 3g network.
As far as I know I can't take screenshots with an un-rooted phone, so I've attached a picture.

You can use the Android sdk to take pictures of the phone:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Make sure USB debugging is on, plug in phone to PC
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools -> ddms.bat​
Not sure what you guys are talking about. Embedded pictures work absolutely flawlessly on my phone
Ah of course via the SDK. Been developing for Android for some time, but I've only been using the emulator since I've been too lazy to actually hook up my phone

Good video. Any comment on any noticeable lag throughout the phone, whether it be opening/closing application, scrolling through menu?
And any comments on GPS use? People have been complaining it doesn't pickup signal very well, and the cursor hops.

ill make a video with those questions, but i can tell you now. the samsung widgets like the feeds one which has twitter facebook myspace causes lag. the friends one causes lag, the rest is ok.
I disabled those that caused the lag and everything was fine.
The GPS i have had no problems as of yet.
Thank you!
I have never used an android phone, so I just had a few more questions.
Is there a way to sync 3 email accounts (hotmail, gmail, outlook) into the one inbox? So from the home screen I can click on my mail account and it will display one inbox for all my emails, or do I have to click on each inbox seperately? Also, is there a widget, or a way to preview email from the home screen?
Im not liking samsungs overlay and im concerned by the lag its causing.

The gmail how i have it setup is with the gmail client stock to android.
But if you use the other email client for exchange, hotmail, yahoo etc. All those could be in one inbox. Meaning you click the email app and you see all the emails from all three account there. You would be able to distinguish them if u look on the left u see colors showing blue for hotmail, green for yahoo etc.
And yes there are widgets to show a preview of an email on desktop.

How do you disable them?
is there any way of getting the SMS/Phone notification in lock screen to tell you who has called without opening the phone to see? ie my Iphone will tell me i have a new SMS but also that it was from "chris" or whoever...
im also concerned about 8.28 and the 6 second delay to return back to home screen, the whole phone seemed a little laggy which im hoping is due to just launching the LauncherPro app and the phone readjusting ?
i have asked this in another thread but if anyone could test the game emulators and see if they actually work that would be awesome....

basically, remove them from the home screen. and to make sure use a task manager like advanced task manager and check to see if its not there. if it is there have it set to autokill

Facebook app update

Just downloaded update and seems lot closer now to look like the iPhone one. I don't use Facebook app much so anybody notice any major differences since last one?
yep.. it auto updated this morning for me.. and its much nicer feel to it.. also like the little photo slider at the bottom.
wish they would implement facebook chat though
Much better, only thing I miss is to see who liked smth, option to slide to next picture when viewing pictures(it is so stupid to me to touch next and previous button) and chat

FB chat through the AIM client seems to work fine for me. But yes, it would be nice if we didn't have to run another app alongside the proper FB one.
Has anyone tried syncing contacts through Facebook rather than Facebook for HTC Sense? Since this update I have two Facebook accounts in the Accounts and Sync settings. If I try to use the new one it doesn't seem to work. It offers a new contact link but doesn't have pictures or anything attached to it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
while we wait for them to put chat on the app in the mean time download go chat the ui is good it looks like google talk
I can't believe items in the notification menu still take you to the mobile version of the site in your browser and don't stay within the app.
Apart from that, I like it.
Partial Wake usage withe the new 1.3 client
Check the "Partial Wake Usage" (*#*#4636#*#*): with Facebook client 1.3, no contact sync and autoupdate on "never" i have 100% usage (on facebook app)
A definite improvement... wish they'd change the horrible icon though.

Yep, I've just uninstalled the update.
Would this be because of the 'new notification implementation'? I did, for the first time ever, actually receive a notification whilst I had it installed!
It's using way to much of the cpu, too bad since I really liked the update but I need to uninstall it aswell Battery is more important!
Do people think a fix will come out for this? Surely this is an error, it uses way too much battery!

It has to be some sort of unforeseen thing. I would hope to see an update to fix this soon.
Mind you, I'm not overly impressed with the new features- was expected something far bigger and better.
I just wished, they can have a widget like the one on iphone where it displays the notifications on a corner.

Thank god I now know why my phone as gone from 100% to 0% in the space of 6 hrs.
Thought it was the Froyo update but can see now it looks like it's this new update.
Has anybody emailed them yet to inform them of the excessive battery increase?
Yes I have already mailed the developer
Sent from my HTC Desire
I installed it when I first saw that the 1.3 was released and I haven't noticed any difference what so ever on my battery usage. I don't use any taskkiller so I haven't killed it of.
is there any fix for the battery-usage-of-death issue ?
