on every 3.5 sense rom I flash, I have an issue where Facebook from Friendstream doesn't work. There's no icon for it and I can't get it to do anything. Other people report this works fine in the ROMs so I figure it has to be something on my phone.
Is there a certain preferred Radio or CWM version or something else I'm missing? I'm mostly a GSM guy and am a little new to the Evo.
How are you installing Facebook? I was having issues when I would set up Facebook through the initial set up so I had to start doing it from the app itself. also try to uninstall if Facebook is already there and try to re-install.
I had this issue with the calendar for awhile and it somehow resolved itself.
Another thing that worked for me is removing the widget and adding it back.

Hey there,
i installed swype and it was just nice.
but badly, it deleted all of my passwords: w-lan, mails, dataconnection, facebook, etc.
i uninstalled it, because all programmes didnt remember the pw's again.
so, everythings just like before, but not facebook app.
is there a way to "reset" the app or cache, so that it will save my login again?
thanks.

From what I've read, its an issue that they haven't fixed just yet. Which version of FB do you have?
its version 1.007.
maybe reinstalling the app could help?
DN41
There is a newer version out, 1.1.0.17
Download it from Marketplace.
thanks.
i'll try that
DN41
edit: installed new one...doesnt work too...
it must be a setting which was overwritten by swype...
Yeah, i've read swype has issues, although, mine is fine since it came installed on my USHD2. Try uninstalling swype, and see if it works. My FB accounts auto logs me in.
as i told, i did uninstall it
but doesnt change anything

Mine stopped saving loggin info the minute I installed swype
Mine stopped auto-saving a couple of weeks ago for no reason. And I had Swype installed long before that. Actually I haven't had anything new installed for a while. It just stopped working.
You guys should check out the Facebook thread for more info and updates on the app.

I stopped using it anyway.
I use touch.facebook.com
It's way more advanced than the app.
had to do a hardreset because of another issue.
as i thought, everthings fine again and i will not install swype anymore

I don't have swype but the facebook app still won't remember my login.
If I quit the app then my login credentials are gone. Gotta retype login and pass again each time.
Any thoughts?
P.S. I'm on a stock ROM and the FB app is the latest version.
nope sorry. had same issue, only help was performing a hard reset.

Well, I havent dont anything different with facebook.. BUT today I clicked on the application and now it is once again saving my login info. the only thing I have done to my phone in the past several days is UNINSTALL PALRINGO and REINSTALL a newer version.
hmm.. I just checked again and YES it is still saving my info. I wonder what caused this to start working again...
hi,
has the problem been fixed ? Anyone has any idea ? My facebook still unable to save login..
Since i have updated my Rom to 1.72, its been fine :S

Same here. It seems a lot of users are having this issue. It seems its a recent issue. Something changed on facebook login requirements? There are a few threads on here reporting this issue.
same here.For me I think Swype crashed it, but some people report its caused by deleting some temp folders like using the auto clean up in SKTools or something
Reinstalling from Omarket worked for me. Was mentioned in another thread.
Alright, so this is a tricky one. I can download and install ALL apps from the marketplace, except for any relating to weather (mainly Weatherbug, but most others don't work either) I had Weatherbug prior to switching Android versions, so I was wondering if the old version could somehow be causing this.
As I said, I can install every other app I find on the marketplace, just not Weatherbug or any other app relating to weather. Which I find to be rather weird. Is there any way I can possibly "clean" my android without deleting everything in order to perhaps erase the old Weatherbug I used to have, assuming it's still there.
If there is a install-debug app or something, could I use that to diagnose the problem?
I've also tried installing the apk from email and it still doesn't install.
I've already master reset my phone, and the issue persists, so don't bother posting that as a solution.
There has been an issue going on for weeks where media playback stops working. Nothing plays, not even YouTube or media via the Flash Player. The YouTube player just says touch to try again. The Flash and Media Players error out saying the format isn't supported.
Not even the Camera or Video recorders work (gives a generic error message). The only way to get it to work is to power the phone down and back up, until it works again.
Dunno what the issue is. Is anyone having the same issues?
Stock 2.2 KB5 never modded phone with the stock SD card and the only 3rd party apps I have installed are the obvious ones (Twitter, Facebook, Engadget, XDA App, Google Apps, Beautiful Widgets, etc.). Prolly have < a page of 3rd party apps installed.
N8ter,
I was having a similar issue with YouTube and Pandora. After a certain time neither would work, Youtube would give the error message to touch again, and Pandora (or any other music player) would pull up the song it was about to play, then skip it and go to the next one, and on and on. The issue wouldn't go away until I restarted my phone.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a fix for it. I tried clearing the data, cache, etc. with no luck. I have a hunch that it might have to do with an app or a program the runs data in the background or with data itself, switching between wifi and data, or with flash. Of course I could be way off too, who knows.
Right now I'm running Bionix NextGen 1 ROM with Overstock kernel and so far the issue has not come up. Keeping my fingers crossed, and hope our fellow xda'ers have a solution to this problem.
I'm wondering if the OS is shutting down a needed service or something in the background. It's been happening since before KB5 update, but I haven't noticed it being so bad until recently because I put all my music on the Vibrant and it happens when playing audio files as well...
Oddly, ringtones and notification tones still function.
Hi N8ter, DO you have the twitter app installed? I ask this because my sister was having the same issue a couple of weeks ago (we both have vibrants running bionix 1.3.1 ) i really didnt know what was going on so I kind of ignored her issue. It was not until I created a twitter account and downloaded the twitter app that I started having the same problem. I removed the twitter app from both our phones and we havent had the issue for weeks now.
Its odd i know but it worked for me...
You know what, I have been having the same problem, and yes, I do have the Twitter app installed. I hope that is it (I'll try to report back here after a few days, but due to the sporadic nature of the problem, I won't be able to know whether that works). thank you for the suggestion.
I can't really believe that the twitter app might be the problem, but it has been 24 hours without the twitter app and I havent had to restart because my media files/you tube are unrecognizable. I read it somewhere else on xda. I will follow up if it seems that twitter is not the problem.

Yep. I just went to the T-Mobile site and found:

I just removed the Twitter app and reinstalled Seesmic for Twitter access (not big loss, it's not like Twitter had C2DM support and the phone natively syncs contacts and pictures anyways...).
I'll see how it goes.
Thanks guys... I never had media on my Vibrant until recently (the HD7's external speakers make the Vibrant sound like a Surround Sound system - don't even need headsets for this phone!) and the issue was starting to make me want to beat a baby...
Thank you so much everyone. xda ftw!
I recently noticed my phone really chewing threw the battery when I was running through the news, Twitter, etc. But, when it was just idle, the battery hardly moved at all.
I think I finally narrowed it down to the latest Twitter update to 3.0.0. I normally only sync my Gmail, but somehow the latest Twitter made some changes that really put the hurt on my stock battery. Go to Twitter> Menu>Settings>(your username at top under "Account Settings") and uncheck Sync data, and scroll down and change Contact settings to Don't sync. For good measure, I changed Sync interval to 4 hours before disabling it. Since doing those changes my battery hardly moves when using Twitter. Before those changes, I could literally watch the percentage count down while on Twitter.
Thought I'd share this in case anyone else was experiencing the same thing. I was sort of surprised because I usually make a point to only sync with Gmail and then found this app going crazy. I was tipped off to the app when I noticed my soft key lights coming on and off while using Twitter and then I used System Tuner Pro to help narrow it down.
Hope that helps someone.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling. You may need to reflash your rom. I've noticed that sometimes my battery drains quickly and overheats after restoring a backup or flashing a rom, or installing an app.
I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. If that works, great. If not, then do a nand backup and reflash the rom. If that doesn't work, do a full wipe and reflash. If it still doesn't work, then ****... I have no idea.
Recently I am having notification delays with my S7 Edge G935F. I have read through some posts on this forum and other sources and can't figure it out.
Here are some of the problems:
1. notifications are often delayed for more than thirty minutes
2. if I want to manually check notification when it does not pop up, unlocking the screen does not make the notification show, I have to actually launch the specific app to see the notification
3. It is more than just not showing the notification, when I am using some instant messaging apps (like WeChat), I can't see new messages coming in while the app is running in the front. I have to press the home button and get back to home screen, then re-enter the app, then the messages show up. This happens to many other apps as well.
4. Other things go wrong as well. For example, my Android Auto was set to launch whenever I get into my car and car bluetooth is connected. It is also delayed, by more than hours. It often launches long after I finish my driving and get back home sitting on my couch.
5. Downloading new apps from Play Store has problems as well. It downloads to 100% and just stops there, it does not start installation. I have to use Settings->App to kill Play Store and re-open it to "refresh" it, then it starts to install.
6. After installation of new app, it does not show up on my screen or app draw inside my launcher. I can see the app installed in Play Store. I have to kill launcher and re-open the launcher to make it "refresh" the app list then I can see new app inside the app draw.
I have also tried a lot of ways to fix it:
1. change app to not battery optimized -> didn't fix it
2. update firmware -> didn't fix it
3. factory reset -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
4. flash to a different firmware (official ROM in different regions) -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
5. use third-party ROM (Lineage OS) -> completely fix the problem, but too buggy to use
I can see the general idea of what's going wrong, some events happened (connected to car Bluetooth, new messages coming, app finished downloading, new app installed, etc.) and the system is not responding correctly. I am not very familiar with Android development but I feel like something is wrong with the "event handling" or "event raising" inside Samsung's Android system.
Please post reply if you have any idea or are facing the similar problems.
EDIT:
The phone is on Android 7.0, Build Number NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQER
You've stated that flashing the custom ROM solved the problem, so maybe you should try flashing a different rom that's a bit more stable.
From personal experience i can recommend the SuperStock rom. It's stock (obviously) and it's debloated and very stable with pretty good battery life as far as i remember.
there is some info about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/want-to-root-custom-one-stay-stock-t3631098?styleid=18 (ignore the root part).
Hi,
did you find any solution to this problem ? cause i got the same problem, and i'm going crazy... few months already and can't figure out what is the problem...
the temporary fix i've found is disabling the "google app" in application manager... it fix the problem but i can't use any Google app features (and i like using them...).
I've found few ppl experiencing the same problem searching on internet but no one with a real fix...
if someone more experienced can help debut this it would really mean a lot...
I think it is the battery optimization setting. You may check the settings>battery>advanced settings>optimize apps. You need to keep the apps un-optimized if you want the notifications and sync.
Also, you may check if Sync is on or off.
If these two does not solve, factory reset if you are on stock ROM. If on a custom ROM, you may check a different ROM
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually none of this works... The only thing that "fixes" the issue is disabling the Google app in the application manager... That's why its so weird...
The problem started around July/August 2017 for me...
As i discovered that disabling Google was fixing the problem, i assumed that they'll correct it by updating the app... But only one update of the app was ok, all others would make the problems reappear...
Messing with battery optimization settings doesn't change anything for me... Factory reset as well... The problem comes back as soon as the google app gets updated...
Try clearing cache and deleting data from the Google app the time the problem occurs
already tried... doesn't help at all...
