There is a new update in the market Facebook for android 1.3.0. Try it.

I have tired it, and its the same But should I turn on all the auto update, timescape, the one in side settings and the facebook app? or is this just too much

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!

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.

Same problem here. Every app I disabled disappeared from launcher except for Amazon MP3, and it's driving me nuts

You could "freeze" the app with titanium backup, which removes the shortcut icon and makes sure the app cant start. Big advantage is that you can still install OTA's. It comes with a price tho..

Freeze is the same thing as pm disable. And it doesn't work with Amazon MP3. It stays in the launcher and crashes when trying to launch it.

AAAHH Im in the same boat too, there must be a way..

If you have permanent root, and Titanium Bakcup, you should be able to permanently removed the app. Just go the backup/restore tab at the top, go the app you want to remove (Amazon mp3) and hold it for a while...there should be an option for forced removed the app. The phone will then reboot itself, and once rebooted you will find it is completely gone. The only down side is you cant update OTA anymore. But really who cares? very soon we will see custom ROMs popping up everywhere. I am pretty sure they will contain the latest updates.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I found this on another forum:
com.amazon.mp3/com.amazon.mp3.client.activity.LauncherActivity
Hope this works

[Q] It seems my Samsung tablet was hit by some kind of malware, how to check?

The symptom is, each time I switch on my tablet, I receive a notification in lower right corner promoting something like lucky draw, game, etc. If I click on the notification, it automatically starts downloading apk. The apk is always named like yyyymmddxxxxxxxxxxx.apk. I never run those apks, I guess they are not friendly. How can I check which app I installed is doing this?

First check what you have installed recently. Could be one of those apps give spam notifications. I saw something similar on my bro-in-law phone and that was because he installed some kind of "enhancement" program to make his phone run more efficient (it didn't help bytheway).
Also, since you didn't say what OS you're running, 4.0+ has the option to disable notifications when you go to settings>applications>app name. If you find its an app you need, then that might help.
If you thinks its beyond this, then install lookout or norton from the market.

It's not malware, they're called push notification ads. Just download "Ad Blocker" (root required) from the market and it will tell you which app(s) is doing this. You can also choose to delete it from within the app.
Pretty handy.

yes it just push notification ad. The problem is I don't know which app is doing this, and do not want to root my device. Is there another way to identify ?

Try installing "Air Push Detector" from the market.

my tablet is using 4.0.4 but i cannot find the setting you mentioned. in settings-application-application name, there is no notification setting.

i tried but there is no app found. i still get notification ad.

Can you upload a screenshot of this notification ad for us? Maybe even a list of your downloaded apps?

I don't have it now, I will load it when I get it next time.
However I have the list of apps I installed because I sent it to the author of push detector. How can I send it to you? I just don't want to post it here.
I have another finding, which seems odd to me: I set the home page of chrome to be blank, and I double checked that, but each time I open the browser it always opens a search page with a lot of informations (looks like a portal but I don't like it). How can I know which app replaces my home page with such rubish?
Is it possible the 3G provider does this kind of things? (notification ads and home replacement)?

No, your network provider would have nothing to do with push notification ads or homepage replacement. And as for setting your homepage in Google chrome, are you talking about the desktop version? Because I don't believe you can make that selection on the mobile version, unless I'm missing something?
BTW, you can send that list to me in a PM if you'd like.

Try this app, it will tell you every app that has a shady ad network and you can delete it. A friend of mine had an app that was creating a ton of shortcuts all over her home screens.

In Chrome settings you can set your home page. But it seems it's the 3G provider that replaces the home page for me.
I will send you the app list. Thanks.

I tried it but it also couldnt find the notification ad. It did find apps that have bi-app ads but they are numerous.

Yes, I do...the stock internet app...but I am getting this on multiple apps that want access to the internet. I get the prompt that asks for me to choose the app to access the internet and the option to make the choice always or one time. If I select once, the next time I get the same prompt.
I guess that I just need to select the app I want to use and also select Always when prompted.
I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this.
Thanks for your reply.
