I dumped everything - disabled 'Facebook', 'Facebook Chat Widget', 'Facebook for HTC Sense' and 'Fb Chat'.did you disable the app completely or just the updates from it? i still want to use it haha and havent had a chance to test the battery using the stock version yet
So is there a consensus as to whether or not you need to disable Facebook altogether to regain battery life, or can you just uninstall all updates?
As it stands now, I've disabled Facebook, Messenger, Facebook for HTC Sense, and anything else related to FB. It's still too early to tell about my battery life, but I really do want to have Facebook on here for numerous reasons, among them my photos for my contacts.
Any consensus?
Newbie here. I don't have the option to send a text when I choose not to accept a call. Is this not an option in Sense 3.6? That's a nice feature and I'd like to use it, but I don't have the third option at the lock screen. I do have the option in settings but it looks like the old one since their is no custom option. No biggie, but am curious.
Has anyone else experienced the white screen with green "HTC" logo coming up every time you close anything (apps, settings, menus, etc.)? I did not have any errors during the update but that screen comes up more often than not. It lasts ~5 seconds and then I am able to see my home screen. I've tried shutting down completely and restarting...no change. Any advice??
^that happened to my other phone
To clear this Sense/desktop restart problem.... i went to .... Settings - Developer Options - Don't Keep Activities (uncheck/clear this box)
Good wishes to you!
More like everyone else... there is an issue with Maps 6.10.0 and the 3.14.605.12 firmware. Uninstall updates on the Maps application and if you want something newer than stock, side load 6.9.2 or use Waze.I been having issues with google maps. EVERY time I open it my phone re-boots. I think this has been happening since maps updated last week
anyone else?
WY... this won't help you now, but perhaps someone yet to do the upgrade. I made copies of several files in the "sdcard" folder (which we all now know is not the actual SD card) and put them in a file on the "ext_sd" (which IS the actual SD card). I copied much of the "Android" folder (which has a lot of data including settings for a lot of the apps), some from the "data" folder, some from the "DCIM" folder and many of the folders created by the various apps that I use (where they store their own settings). After doing the upgrade, I then pasted those folders back into the "sdcard" make sure not to replace any files when I got the warning asking if I wanted to replace an existing file with the same name. Most of my apps preserved their settings or I was able to use the apps "restore settings" or "restore from backup". Saved a whole lotta rebuilding time.
Can you tell me how to do this?
Folders that were specific to downloaded apps, launcher pro (or other) backup folders, there are a bunch of downloaded app specific folders in Android/data, you might have camera pics in DCIM... that's most of what I copied.
Can you tell me how to do this?
I saw this and was curious if you are using Launcher Pro on ICS without any problems. When I upgraded LP would constantly crash so I switched to Apex Launcher which is good but I miss Launcher Pro.
Same here. LP is running great on a global ROM i am on. No issues. Smoother and faster than Sense, still!working great so far. no problems. in fact, perhaps smoother than past LP experiences pre-ICS (on original Inc and original Razr).
Not having either of this problems... I did nothing special and both phone/dialer icon are where expected and SD card mounts with no problems.
A few things of note:
Contact links... gone (had to relink, done automatically except a few)
Facebook settings... gone (had to disable notifications and relogin)
Power Profile (High Performance, Standard, Economy)... gone
Sleep Profiles... gone
Camera save directory... back to default
CDMA/LTE set back to default (I had it set to CDMA only)
Just a few things I have seen in poking around for a couple minutes. More to come as I find them.
