[How to] Revoke granted GPS permission to facebook

It's annoying that FB start to use your location even you turn off "messenger location off" since last Fall. The app will activate GPS and other location service at background without notifying.
I'm currently using the CM9 Nightly for Milestone 2, and it seems the permission revoke function once appeared at CM7 is not included in this ROM. So, how to forbid the evil facebook to do bad things? I know an easier way is uninstall it! Thank you very much!

[Q] Any way to prevent Facebook app from sharing my location?

I have enabled location sharing from settings since I frequent use my phone for turn-by-turn voice directions and some pedometer-like apps to count my activity. I also like some Google Now functionality that enabling location access gives.
However, besides disabling this setting system-wide, it seems that the Facebook app always shares my location when I post status updates - and I find that extremely annoying. I scanned all app settings and could not find a way to disable location sharing from Facebook.
My question - is there anyway I can keep the system-level setting while preventing Facebook app from accessing location? I have not rooted my phone (Nexus 4) but will be willing to do so if that can help me with this problem.. Any suggestions?

Doesn't the LBE security software allow you to set permissions on a per app basis? I think you need to search for it on xda for the translated version.

Facebook doesn't share my location each update, I just checked a bunch of previous ones and they don't mention it at all.

Thanks!! LBE seems like it might do the trick... Will root my phone tomorrow morning and put lbe.

Rusty try checking in to some place once. After that it will always share your location for all posts you make. I checked in one without knowing this‚ and there is no way to undo it after.

Its under settings in the Facebook app

I don't see it under settings... Can you please elaborate? The only setting I see is for sharing location on Chat/messenger but that does not change the location sharing behavior on regular posts.
Any way‚ I rooted the phone but lbe privacy does not work with jelly beans (soft reboot on startup - several recent reviews on play store also says that).. So for now after resetting the phone I've not used the checkin feature on Facebook.. It's a bad workaround and I hope LBE fixes it's jelly bean issues soon.
Thanks again

Redmi note 2 problems

Hello guys,
I recently bought a Redmi Note 2 from China, I live in Romania.
I have 3 problems with it that I find very annoying:
1) Cannot open microphone in apps like google now, facebook messenger, Cortana.
This one is the most annoying.
I tried to:
-give permissions to record audio
-disabled permision manager
-wipe cache from recovery
Need desperate help with it. Please.
2) Cannot be reached at phone.
Friends told me that sometimes my phone looks like it's off when they call me.
Sometimes a rounded R appear on status bar. I belive it's related to it. How can I solve this?
3) Cannot use Google Play Store as my default app store.
I cannot use reset default at App Store (Xiaomi) because it's innactive.
I appreaciate any help, thanks in advance,
Andrei Savescu.

Go to xiaomi.eu and download/flash weekly or stable rom.
or...
..you can try any RN2 rom from xda.

Zuk Edge notifications problem

hi
I read a topic about the Zuk Z1 in this forum which users seems to have the same problem
I tried everything but nothing works.
For example : if I don't open WhatsApp, i don't get the notifications. I just try and retried with a friend, and It doesn't work.
It makes me crazy as i did everything, but litteraly everything :
- "Allow notifications" : yes, high priority, all you want
- "Permissions" : everything is granted
- "Battery Optimization" : disabled for the app im interested in + Google Play Services (i read that in whatsapp troubleshooting page)
Then i read the differents posts and I did this too :
- Autostart whitelist : to lets the app i want start automatically
- Accelerator : auto release memory DISABLED + (just in case) the apps im interested in, in "Accelerate protection list" to prevent them to be closed automatically by the system
I thought it worked cause soon as i did that and reboot, i started to receive instagram notifications and whatsapp to. It sounds logical to me that everything will work now...
But then i rebooted once again, asked a friend to send me a whatsapp, and i didnt get notified since i don't launch the app...
What can I do ? Please help i'm out of solution
I'm using GrossoShop ROM, based on 2.5.406 ZUI (android 7.0 nougat)... Its just so ****ing annoying...

Have you found a solution for this issue? Thinking about buying Zuk Edge but notifications problems would be a deal breaker. What is your thoughts on this phone in general? Do you like it? (aside from the notifications issues).

Cm notifications solved this probleam , pnf no root this two apps soled this problem

Aside from the notifications I ENJOY this phone so much : everything is perfect to me.
the only solution which work and doesnt cost me so much efforts is just to let the app im interested to have the notifications open : whatsapp, messenger, facebook, snapchat, gmail, calendar... if i let them open its working normally
CM notifications + PNF NO root are 2 apps ? can you tell me more i'm interesed ?
you are talking about this :
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksmobile.launcher.plugin.unread&hl=fr
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer.noroot&hl=fr (Push Notifications fixer) ??
- https://pnf-no-root.en.uptodown.com/android (PNF No root) ??
I don't understand really how to make this work all together. The first one (cm notifications) seems more to be for the "number notifications" showing on app shortcuts, and its for a specific launcher (CM Launcher), no ?
thank you

this phone is no 233 euros in alliexpress
it´s a bargain, i think this is a little better than normal zuk z2
when i used flyme in meizu pro 5 and had bugs with notifications i did this:
give all permissions that you need
then
had to be rooted
install busybox
reeboot
install pnf root
reboot
and i never miss a notification again
you guys can also try cm13 rom
maybe with drop of price zuk edge will now have more roms

I tried it : it didnt work.
I tried with whatsapp : if i close the app (from recently used apps), then i won't get the notifications since i don't open the app again. And this even if PNF No Root is activated and even setteld on "1 minute (drastic)" or "5 minutes (recommended).

Redmi Note 7 - Microphone issues (PIE 10 rom)

Hello to everyone!
After installing the latest available official version of PIE 10 rom on Redmi note 7 i discovered that in messaging application s such as Telegram, Facebook messenger, Viber - main microphone is not working. Person cannot hear me but in normal calls everything is working fine.
On 4PDA was found a temporary solution which is useful but it doesn't help me to fix the issue.
Workaround is - turn off the access to microphone for Google application and reboot device.
Maybe anyone already facing the same issue and know another solution how to fix microphone issue ?
Thanks!

I got the same problem with the headphones mic but when i talk without headphones it works fine , but if turning off access to Google application fix it then good untill the next update

It is a beta ROM so expect more bugs in the future..

Solution founded.
I tried to play with Google application setting but before changing settings I remove (disable) application from Google play store, clean cache, reboot. Install application with last updates, turn on Google assistant and voice matching. (Google app - Settings - Google assistant - Assistant - My device (on the bottom of screen), Voice match - on.
