I discovered a service named Z7Service that bombards my phone with hundreds of messages per second. I can't see how this could be helping the phone's performance...
There are 2 APKs relating to it:
/system/app/Z7.apk
/system/app/z7-rel-UI.apk
But before going ahead an uninstalling it, I would like to know what it does and why is it there.
Any idea what this Z7 is?
Looks like an email client.
There is a thread on droid forums about that apk. I found it with a google search for "z7.apk". I would post the link but the site won't let me

Thanks to you I found the following two references:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-general-discussions/2154-push-email-system-seven.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753855
Were you referring to one of them?
Based on all the hints I received so far, I decided to gamble on uninstalling 2 packages that have an identical name ("Social Hub") but different icons (one with the stock Android icon, the other with an envelope).
I am no longer bothered by this flood of messages and the resulting slowness of the phone, so unless something surprising happens, I can safely assume that Z7Logger is part of the "Social Hub" package.

Hopefully this is a short lived thread. I couldn't find anywhere else more appropriate to post this, if there is somewhere please enlighten me. I'd appreciate it if someone would post a download of the 'notes' widget, since I can't download it from the usual method! I looked all over the inter-web and no one has ever posted a link to it (unsurprisingly) so this is a joyous occasion for the few of us that can't download it from htc directly. Gracias!
hopefully someone will post it before the thread is deleted.

If you go Add > Widget, then select the option shown at the top of lot of the list of Widgets (Get more HTC Widgets). Download and install the one titled 'Notes'. Then simply add the widget to the relevant screen.
Also, 3 banana (found via Marketplace) have a good note taking app that has a nice widget, and it has a lot more features not available in the HTC notes widget.

Well, thats not an option actually. I'm running a hacked desire rom on the nexus. so far, widgets cannot download. anybody want to post one?
Here you go mate!
Hope you'll be able to install it, I haven't tried doing it manually, myself.
Anything that syncs with Outlook notes??
I really need to have my notes synced with Outlook: do you know of any app that's capable of this?

Since it probably doesn't have an install script, I reckon you'd have to bake it into the rom and reflash..
or perhaps try pasting it into the system/app folder and rebot.
Sorry to hear that. It wasn't in /system/app though... I found it in /data/app/ IIRC (hope this helps)

Hi Guys
Long time reader of these forums and have used the guides provided here numerous times. This is my first time post and it's a bit of a noob question but after looking around the forums, I haven't been able to provide a concrete answer.
I remember reading about Facebook integration with Android 2.0+ but could someone clarify how vanilla android interacts with Facebook? I am a huge fan of HTC Sense being able to pull down my friends info into my contacts. Also is there a way by which I can back up all my apps and contacts so that when I've flashed a new ROM I can just restore the data?
Again I apologise for the basic questions, but I couldn't seem to find any solid answer through my searches and I'm itching to put 2.2 on my legend.
Much appreciated
Linking Facebook and Google-Contacts works in 2.* as far as the names are the same. Ihaven't found a function like in sense where you can directly point to a specific FB-contact and link it to a google or phone-contact as you want. Regarding your second question, your contacts will be saved @google if you use a googleaccount, for backing up your settings and programs go with TitaniumBackup but your handset has to be rooted for this.
Thanks ^_^ I realised what I'd asked about the contacts only after I'd posted it >.< but all the same thanks for the info
Just btw, which fb app are you using (this goes to everyone) ?
Not a single one I tried so far was good enough.
I have the official fb for android but it doesn't display message whole threads when they are too long and when i click on a notification, it opens up in the browser.
Then i tried fb browser, but that one can't open youtube vids. It tries to open them itself instead of opening them in the yt app, but I'm unable to click on the play button.
the rest is either a copy of these 2, or comletely useless.

I just stick with the default android one...the lesser of the evils out there. But I agree with you in that the apps aren't as good as they could be. Who knows, maybe Facebook will announce some android related news at their mobile event today
I'm using the official one. There is an update, just installed it today. There is now finaly places and when clicking in the notification, no more webbrowser with touch.facebook.com is opened.
Just updated fine for me on Myn's.
The update includes:
Groups - support for those new 'small' groups
Places
Improved notifications - view the comments without leaving the app. This is huge - it actually seems to work.
Overall, the app seems to work much faster and be snappier over 3G.
Really wish I used facebook.. So over it now, but I bet our phones do a great job with it..
cool, thanks for thanks for the update.
Yeah the app is near perfect for me and just as enjoyable to use as the iPhone app.
Places works great, just used it, actually..
Just needs push notifications and chat.. Though I simply set facebook to send notifications to my push gmail account and BeejiveIM works great with Facebook chat.
It's better but still "meh".
This, and cards, are the only place where I like Webos better. In facebook for webos...
You actually get notifications in the notification area when you have new notifications on Facebook.
Why can't we have that?
I'd also like the ability to delete posts and comments and the ability to "like" comments.
Yeah...why they can enable push notifications is beyond me. Its on the iOS, webos, and blackberry apps...android really gets left out.
I also wish they'd improve the update status menu/area. The 1.5 line thing that they have now is very hard and doesn't allow for a very long update...their mobile website is better.
Thanks for the update info!
It's an improvement for sure.

I know that. I'm saying I should be able to delete posts too.
Also, I should be able to like comments like I can on the site and delete my own comments.
Don't know why you can't via any facebook app on any platform.
"Cannot retrieve notifications" error...

Whenever receiving an error of any kind, after updating any app of any kind, you should clear any data/cache that is associated with the app.
If that doesn't work, then take the step of uninstalling and then reinstalling.
That usually fixes problems after updates.

You can delete your own posts on the app I just did it now to make sure I wasn't just imagining it. Just hold down on your post and it gives u an option to comment or like, or remove post. I found it in the last update. Don't know if its been around longer than that...

This was in the old app as well. Doesn't look like it's changed. You can only remove posts that you've done from the app, which is nice, but sucks that you can't do ones from your laptop, ect.

Actually, I just tried and you CAN remove comments ON YOUR OWN POSTS but not comments you make on others posts.
You also CANNOT like comments.
You CANNOT delete wall posts though.
I think the next added feature should be orientation options for the main app screen. For some reason you can view comments, pictures, and just about everything else in landscape, just not the main screen.
Otherwise loving that I don't have to open the browser when I want to read a comment
I just read a news article saying that the new Google search update is supposed to allow us to use the "ok Google" hotword from any screen, including the lock screen. I downloaded the apk, but can't get it to do anything different on my Verizon s5. Has anyone else gotten this to work? Does it require the phones to not be rooted, maybe?
It doesn't work for us yet. I did all the steps as well but unless it is pushed for your device it's a no go
I thought it was supposed to work with all phones. Too bad, I would have liked the lock screen functionality.
According to AP, it's being rolled out by account. So we wait.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/06/25/apk-download-google-search-v3-5-14-brings-ok-google-hotword-detection-to-any-screen/
I guess I missed that part. Why offer a download link to the new apk if none of the new features will work anyway?

They may have only realized that after the article was written and the .apk was offered. There may be other subtle things that have been improved, speed for example. I think one of the comments mention that the acknowledgement "ding" is different.
if its the one in the new android L then my rom should have it.. ill hafta check tho.. i kno i added the android l launcher and velvet.apk from android l to my rom..

Other things do seem to be subtle and to work, just not the 'OK,Google' detection from any screen. When you go in to set it up, you have to say that phrase three times so it recognizes your voice. However, it never registers so you have to back out of that screen.
Any update on this? I just received the Google search update and it doesn't allow the ok Google voice command on any the screens. I still have to open the app to use the voice setting

I got it today too. This always happens to me, I download an .apk from Android Police and usually a short time later Google Play will tell me I have an update for the same version number. So, my thought is that nothing has really changed and we are still waiting for Google as they roll the function out by account as mentioned in the article.
Thanks for the reply. Bummer
I don't know if I was late seeing this, but the search from any screen feature is available in my Google search settings now.
