[L5-II E450] Small but anoyng issue with new FB Layout - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends, as you know facebook is rolling a new Layout for they'r official APP.
I hear it is server side, so as long you have Android 4.x, you can roll back older instalation, uninstall and download the older FB APP APK, you can do all that and the new Layout still will be present.
The Layout is fine exept for one small but big issue.
At the buttons on top (Feed, Notifications, Friends Request) it dont display the Messages button.
I dont use FB chat, it is aways off and now exept for the push notifications i cant see if i have new messages on the APP, i need to check then via the options menu.
That is very anoyng for my use and a very deal breaker.
I tryed 3rd party APPs but none seens nice too.
Is there a way (as it seen to be server side) to roll back for the older layout, or add the stupid messages button??
Thanks for all, here what i mean:

It is not an issue for this device... We are not developers, so maybe you could ask for an explanation in the comments of the Facebook app in Google play..

I don't know, do not use Timescape... I only autoupdate from the facebook app. Maybe you have to set the one inside settings to auto update.
Hm, well still not working. Search around and alot of ppl got the same problem :-(

I give up with the FB app notifications it still isn't fixed on the new version that has just come out.
I just set it to e-mail my phone with the notification. Get it pretty quickly from there.
Also on a side not - if anyone has updated to version 1.3.0 can you get your phone to go to sleep properly???
Also can a mod please move this to the apps section.

Why are you asking that? It seems to me battery drains since I updated facebook, but I do not know how see if my phone is sleeping properly. I installed more apps when i get the update and i cannot be sure it is because or facebook or another one.
Did you noticed that as well?
For me it is definately the FB app that is doing it. I can see it in the app "spare parts".
It was fine before I upddated it to this version now my phone won't sleep.

I have this problem as well after updating. The battery drains too fast. I just uninstalled the update and then it's back to the previous version that's preinstalled on the phone.
Done the same here :-( hope they fix the problems asap!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The same. Just revert to the preinstalled and everything is ok.
Was wondering why my battery was draining fast today. Thanks for the info. I'll remove this terrible update now.

It's probably not so much an X10 problem as it is an application problem.
As for me, there's no preinstalled FB app, so, I'll just work with this one.

Ooh, really? Sweet, thanks!
Gotta say, I like the new version, but the battery thing kinda sucks. Old one, here I come!
I have no issues with the phone not sleeping, I only check the app a couple of times each day, no auto update just manual, and I kill it after use.
I like my phone to run lean lol
Well at my x10 it kill my battery, but my girlfriend got x10 mini pro, and that work ok. Use a bit more then 1.2 but not so much.
But on my x10 its a batterykiller :-(
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I do not use task killer/manager so i cannot do that. My phone works better since i don't use them. And I check facebook many many times a day, so manually kill the app is not a solution for me.
Anyway it does't work in landscape mode, at least initially... so
This update is a crap for me.

List of changes after gingerbread update.

Is there an official list of what has changed, been fixed and improved?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
- added an "auto enhance" feature to the camera. not sure what it does yet, looks like it boosts the contrast and saturation a tiny bit.
- added a quick settings menu to the drop down bar.
- added a "tell HTC" error reporting feature. looks much like windows error reporting. can be disabled in the settings>about phone menu.
- changed the way the app menu scrolls. now scrolls a page at a time instead of smooth. RSI inducing when you scroll fast, but easier to find stuff.
- screen looks better to me, not sure why though.
- camera quicker to focus in low light.
- gallery is faster
Im seeing a difference in camera quality for the worse.
Auto enhance seems like its a fith wheel as you can acheive the same or better quality through adjusting some of the settings.
Has the text message app been fixed?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Text message app seems to be working fine now.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
also added:
new power control widgets. they look awesome! go to widgets> all htc widgets and scroll to about 50 out of 77.
I have also noticed the sound quality has improved on the video camera.. i can now actually hear things when playing back a video.. before i just got an awful low muffed sound. Anyone else noticed the improvement?.
The new scolling is a bit of a pain if you have alot of apps installed but if you change the view to list mode you can scroll down the list as before without the stopping and starting.
The speaker also seems a bit louder.
My texting has been fixed (was stuck on the buggy 1.74 for months!!)
My wifi is fine (although alot of people are reporting theirs has either got worse or no wifi connection at all)
Weather app now has sound on it
The phone seems alot more smoother too.
I'm running my HD on the stock rom and radio (unbranded on vodafone) with official update (2.36.405.8)
Not tested the GPS yet.. been raining here so i'LL wait till it clears up before giving it a whirl.
Battery on mine seems slightly better.
Improved the application management menus, seems to stop the running apps alot quicker than before.
Personally i'm loving this phone again.
In previous stock ROMs, pressing the search button on the home screen brought up the HTC Search application. Now, Google Search is used.
Not sure if this change was introduced with GB, or it was made earlier and I didn't notice, but... Gmail app now has copy/paste
However, still not possible to save attachments
Sound effects on weather widget, also clock and Facebook widget.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I noticed all the above plus better battery stats graph, and better manage apps menu. Also as stated about the Facebook widget/app they finally fixed it from before when you would load the app, click on something, and then back out, it used to make the thumbnail pictures disappear to a white box, but now they stay.
Can now enter title and middle name in People app....
And can paste number into the dialer - this is a particularly helpful addition for me.

One other change that I'm NOT liking, is the unread count dissapears from the sms and HTC Mail widget once you have gone into the app, even if you don't read anything and come out anything. No longer displays any count.

Google Search is used to search your phone. Just go into Menu->Search Settings->Searchable items.

Found also that with the HTC mail app, when I get Outlook meeting invites now I can see the proposed time and date etc before accepting. Sooooo needed was that as I had no idea if I could actually attend or not when clicking ok.
Can also see my Gmail IMAP account in the HTC mail app listed in accounts now whereas before the only way to get to its settings was through the mail app itself.
Don't use GMail itself due to the horrible interface. Never gotten on with it.
Found that if you want to move an icon too on a full screen you can - drag it over another icon and they swap places. Unsure if that's a new one but I remember on my Desire you had to remove an icon first to make room then re-add. Even Nokia had that one covered with crummy Symbian.
Compared to 1.72 also it doesn't crash, at all. The older version used to just reboot itself all the time, in my pocket, on the table - properly got on my t1ts. Made me regret going from 1.32 to that horrible ROM.
I've also found that videos I could not play before that I'd recorded now play. God knows what was going on there but the update seems to have sorted that.
App management is faster - gives you a list of what's installed almost straight away, icons and all whereas before it would sit there calculating for ages.
The volume is noticably louder too on ringtones and notifications. Again was much needed as it was so quiet before.
All in all I'm pleased - the only thing I've found is when the phone is fighting for signal it EATS the battery with dialer jumping right up in the usage stakes. I think it's a mobile data thing - turn that off or switch to GSM only and it's happy.
While recording the video you can zoom in or zoom out even during recording. Earlier this was not possible and you could only focus while recording.
Also after restarting the phone, the duration of being run on battery, in the Battery use does not reset, while earlier it used to reset with each phone switch off.
here are some highlights

Thats always been like that has it not? A little tip though, if you are search for an app then open the app drawer and then hit the search button so it specifically searches through your apps only.
So if you know whatever your looking for is only going to be in a certain area hit the search button after you get there. I don't know if that's new or not but i just found it and it is very helpful rather then searching the whole phone.

Messenger Chat Heads!

Hi I installed the latest version of the Messenger App and chat heads doesnt show up in any options. How can I make it work? It really looks like an amazing feature, thanks in advanced!
Has anyone sent u a TXT or message. Didn't show until I had one incomming

You have to be on the Facebook messenger app and go to setting and activate the messenger app as you regular message, now if you want to have the chat head, either way for a person to send you a message or, in message app hold down a pop up will appear and press on "pop out chat head"

I found that the chat head only appears if i leave my "home screen". my girlfriend sent me a message and nothing happened until I opened the browser or any other app. When i did that the chat head floated on to the edge of the screen. If i leave the app it dissapears!? I have tested with Nova Prime, SSlauncher, Buzz launcher and the stock TouchWiz launcher. The same thing happens.
Very strange.
A quick restart after update and checking it in settings (of the messenger app) might work out.
It doesn't work if you have your status bar hidden or apps that go into full screen.

An account issue
So I've identified it as a Facebook account issue. Chat Heads doesn't on my phone with my account, but when I logged in with a friends account chat heads worked fine.
Such a bummer... when I logged out of their account and logged back into mine the functionality was locked again and chat heads is no where to be found as long as I use my account.
Tried using the re-signed APK versions of Katana, Orca, and Home from Paul at MoDaCo. Got home to work, but chat heads wasnt available...so I uninstalled. Home is...well...meh.
Really wanted chat heads, guess i'll just wait for a fix i guess...

Contacts display problem

Well i have been using galaxy fones for quiet long now. and this problem is again irritating me...
When you open contacts it shows the contacts saved there in, apart from that we have an option saying "contacts to display" option to exclude the contacts we do not want to see. But time and again i have witnessed that once I select "customised list" it again goes back to "all contacts" the moment i exit contacts app. and again starts messing up and displaying whole list of fb etc etc, which was not part of "customised list"
Any suggestions why??
I have the same problem with my i9505, latest firmware...
It's a very anoying bug of some sorts.
Same issue here. Honestly, Touchwiz is junk compared to HTC Sense and these small bugs and software issues prove it. Not only that, the aesthetics of the UI is not up to standard.
Unfortunately, I do not know of any fix, but I would recommend to install a 3rd party dialer/message app like Contacts+. Not everyone has this issue btw, only certain S4s.
