Facebook App Problems

So I let my little brother sign into the Facebook app on my phone and thus the problems. I signed him out and logged in with my stuff, but I'm still getting updates in my notification bar from his account and when I click them, it just takes me to the app with my account logged in and doesn't show me anything new. I've tried clearing out the app data and even uninstalling/reinstalling the Facebook app to my phone with the same results. Anyone else had the same or similar problem, or have any suggestions about how to fix it?

Bump as I've not managed to get this fixed. Hopefully will get some more eyes on.

I dunno Don. That's an odd one. If you've cleared the data it should have done the trick. Maybe something gets stored to the sdcard. I know that during the installation a notification gets stored there. I wonder...

That's kind of on the lines of what I was thinking too but I haven't been able to find anything on there that seems linked besides the sound. I'm going to keep working at it and I'll post any progress I make here for future reference.

Download the appropriate Desire HD RUU from this forum with your PC, connect phone to PC and run the RUU. This will reset your phone to factory fresh state.

a really strange thing happened to me....
i had to have a factory reset since the camera app just decided it didn't want to work properly. started with not playing back videos, then while recording videos it would just crash to home screen and in the end it just didn't start at all. lol
anyhow. i had the factory reset and everything went great. but i noticed that every app i had previously installed started coming up in the applications list. i only had to restore my contacts and the phone was just as before. even the wifi list was not cleared. i had every other wifi installed already..
another good thing that came out of this whole thing (well, the menu buttons still go off and on whenever they please...) is that the battery consumption is awesomely lower. i mean, i had to recharge the phone twice during the day, but now it stays on for about 24H even if i'm gaming on it for some time....
strange things....
oh, forgot to mention that it's a non rooted, stock rom carrier free phone
(i wish i could root it but it's all SO complicated and the risk of bricking it leaves me with stock apps like facebook/tweeter/stock market etc eating up the battery juice.... oh well)
sorry for the lengthy reply..
Cheers !!!

Yeah, your previously downloaded apps and some settings are stored in the cloud. If you don't want them back, during the initial setup, skip the Gmail account setup. Then open Gmail and add your account back. Your apps and settings should not be downloaded again.

The Apps and other things come back when syncing with your google Konto. Nice Feature BTW

[Q] Phone is not saving pictures anymore. After I reboot, they disappear...

Anyone know whats going on? I guess this has been happening for about a week. All my old pictures are there, but when I reboot, any new pictures I took will just disappear from the phone
Im also on EC05 / Syndicate 1.2. Never had this issue before though

Ok I did a full wipe... and now it deleted ALL of my pics... Whats going on???
All the folders and other things remained intact, but all my pics from the DCIM folder are gone. Even other pics like icons saved in a download folder are gone.

Always backup your card fire this reason. I had to odin back to stock and then root and reload srf. All my pics stay now. Not sure what caused it. Thought it was because it is a new sd card.

By "full wipe" you don't mean "Factory data reset" under Settings -> Privacy do you?
As far as the original problem is concerned is the issue that the files were actually gone from the SD card or just that they didn't show up in Gallery and what not?

When I said full wipe I meant through CWM, so it shouldnt have wiped my pics out like that. I did do a backup thankfully though its a couple months old so I lost a bunch of things.
Its the same SD card Ive used since November or so. I guess I will format the SD card fresh and then copy over what I had saved.

This problem has returned for me with new pictures. I dunno.
Is everyone having this using a theme?
I think theres a broken framework.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I'll ask again... Are the files being removed from the SD card or just from Gallery?
No clue with SRF but "Media Storage" should be running (Settings > Manage Applications > Running Applications).
Clearing the data for this app will clear out Gallery/Music/Video/etc (just the displayed items, not the actual source files). The media scanner should run (scan) shortly after booting and display a notification.
Not sure how to manually fire off the media scanner but if the files still exist and simply don't show up for you then this would be my first troubleshooting step (searching Google for "android invoke media scanner" pointed towards some apps/methods).
Maybe this helps, maybe it doesn't

Get widgetsoid 2.xx on the market and put a widget for media scanner always come in handy plus it also has a lot of other cool switches like ringer and flash light

It's deleting them. It's a problem with themes. When I switched back to SRF not themed the problem stopped.. I also didn't have an issue with Emotionless Beast.

Pop the card out and put it in a computer. See if the pics are on the card that way. It's possible they are on the card but whatever program you are using to look for them isn't finding them. for instance, if you are using Gallery and you have disabled media scanning then it will never know about new pictures.

It deleted them off the SD card permanently. I have no idea how it was able to do that. Every image no matter where it was saved on the SD card was wiped out.

Go into cwm and wipe cache and dalvik.

I tried that after I couldnt save my new pictures several times as well as trying fix permisisons. Nothing worked. I finally did a wipe of everything in CWM and reloaded Syndicate 1.2. When it loaded up all my pictures were gone.

Yeah I started about this in Q&A a couple days ago.
It cant just be a coincidence that its happening to us all at the same time.
Must be something were all trying out thats mmessing it up.
Only thing I can think of that I flashed last was that Heinz theme (which is beautiful if I may say so myself).
Whats the last thing you guys flashed before you got that problem?

Theyre completely gone. They dont show up in the gallery, file explorers, or when mounted to my computer.

I lost alot of pictures I took with my girlfriend on the 4th

I think this started after I installed some new themes- it was either Blue Myst or Shake + Bake. I didnt realize my pictures werent saving since I didnt reboot my phone for a while

Yeah the Shake n Bake is the Heinz theme I meant. Maybe thats what caused iit since The Root said the same tthing as well..
Shame because that theme is gorgeous.
We should all ttry Odin-ing than just flashing SRF 1.2 and a kernal and see how it goes for a few days.

Photos not showing up in the gallery

Whenever i take a few photos with the camera they show up in the gallery for a minute or two then when you go back into gallery they dont show up but astro can see them fine, ive tried clearing data and the cache for gallery. Is there any fix to this?

Get quickpic. Been using it ever since. I hate gallery lol. Quick pic is 10 times quicker

I've had this happen on occasion, usually they show up again if I manually rescan media using Spare Parts.

Thanks guys I'll try both of those things. Another little annoying problem I've been having is with my ringtone, I go into the htc music app and find a good song and trim it etc etc, ringtone works fine for a while, then whenever someone calls me later on, it goes back to the default quietly brilliant app!, I even made my own custom sound set etc. I'm not sure what to do with this one and it's really annoying.

Not trying to sound like a smartass but you don't have it plugged in and set to mass storage mode when this happens, correct? Had a friend almost throw her phone out the window because it did what you're describing and well... see the previous sentence.

I did a factory reset and that solved my issue. No more disappearing photos. It gets pretty annoying though!

Highly recommend QuickPic, as the previous user suggested. It's totally reliable and the dev is great with support.
Stock gallery is prone to issues... I haven't had it installed for months.

One more thing to add. The only thing I don't like about quickpic is that it doesn't show my picasa albums like gallery does. I seriously doubt most people use picasa as much as I do though
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

if you want to use gallery, run first rescanSD. then you pics will become available again... it will not last for long. as soon as you exit and go in again, it will not be visible again...

rescanSD for some reason has never worked for me, i've been frustratingly going through astro shortcuts to my photos until recently.

Bringing Epic in for service - how to conceal email?

So, yeah, I'm going to see if there's anything specifically wrong with my Epic in terms of the abysmal data speeds and nonexistent GPS I've been dealing with. I've pulled the SD card out but I don't want the folks in the Sprint store to have access to all of my email. Is there an advisable way to conceal my email (and contacts, for that matter)?

Remove the account from the phone when you bring it in

You can backup data with a nandroid and factory reset. After they are done, restore the nandroid. (assuming you are rooted)

If you really want to be secure, you can use an app that backs up your contacts to SD card (plenty non rooted ones on the Market) and then do a factory reset.
You can also just remove your email account, there is an option under "Accounts and Sync" located in Settings.
I don't think they will be looking at your email though, but I understand your privacy.

Not to my knowledge their isnt. You will probibly have to go into Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset and that will wipe your phone back to original but you will lose your apps and MMS. There are ways to back those up as stated ^^^^ but as far as you email and contacts. those are backed up through Gmail. Also from what ive noticed you cant just delete your gmail account off your phone.... Well at least mine wont let me. you can unsync it but then can easily check the box if they wanted too. Good Luck

This is way off topic but i noticed in your sig marcussant that Sprint updating isnt working? is that why my phone says error when tring to update my PRL?
PS. sorry to OP for going off topic

as far as I can tell, the issue with simply removing the google account is that one can't do that unless there's also another google account linked to the phone. in my case, contacts, email, market, etc. are all linked to one account, so the phone won't allow me to delete it. I would imagine creating a replacement account would work, but I can't be bothered. the simple fix I found was to change my gmail password so that the gmail app can no longer sync. now my inbox is empty on the Epic and that's really all I wanted.

There is an app in the android market called app protector plus. It allows you to lock any app you desire. It requires the person to use a pin or pattern password to gain access. It will set you back $1.50 but is well worth it.

But if it's just linked to the phone lock that won't work for him. You have to give them the password when you give them the phone so they can work on it.
I brought my phone in for gps issues back with ec05 and all they did was a factory reset.
Make sure you tell them you don't want it reset! That's is sprints goto plan with a phone is to reset it and go from there.
i'd really think of throughing cwm on quick, making a nandroid, odin to stock ec05, let it update to ei22 see if the issue is still there, (I'm sure it will be) then bring it to them. When they can't fix it you can quickly reroot it and restore your backup.
If you can't or just won't back it up fully try "my backup" in the market and backup what you can. Trust me, if you hand them that phone they will reset it first thing they try.

This app is separate from the phone lock pattern. It only locks the applications you set to lock out.
See here for some demonstrations...

And since your running stock, don't worry about it, sprint already knows everything you do on your phone, e-mail, data, you name it, through CarrierIQ. Your data speeds are slow, and your gps doesn't work because sprint is so busy using it to look through your phone and see where you are.

For me when I bring in my phone I use launcher pro to hide my apps I don't want them seeing under general options in LP

CIQ is disabled by default, but with a service always running looking for the call to activate. Read k0nane's thread about it.
To OP: your best bet is to start over from scratch. ODIN EC05, don't accept the OTA update. Update your profile and PRL, then run GPS. If it all works, then flash the update or accept the OTA. After that finishes, test those 3 again.

I've actually done all this...I was rooted and running ROMs for months. There wasn't any real data speed improvement and battery life was lackluster with most of the ROMs, so I flashed back around a month ago in order to be able to bring the phone into Sprint. I've just been dragging my feet on it. Also, the GB I'm running is from the flashed update made available here, not the OTA.
