Unable to install new Facebook app, does anyone have a copy? - EVO 4G Themes and Apps

Is anyone able to back up and extract the apk for the new Facebook app and post it? For some reason it keeps failing when I try to download and install it form the market on my EVO with the latest Fresh Froyo ROM. Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. I uninstalled the old version with Titanium backup, rebooted, and was able to install the new version. A mod can close this thread.

I for one am glad this information was here. I was having the same problem and it gave me something new to try. Thanks!
Update: This method worked for me as well.

I would highly suggest not installing it
It is a HUGE battery drain due to be defective, they have recognized it and a fix is in the works

i have no had this happen yet not saying its not there enough proof it is ... but my batt life seems fine

It's been acknowledged, even on the front page of androidcentral.com
You may be lucky, but the app is faulty.

Same here. It is at the top of my partial wake lock list, but the bar was barely longer than my other entries. Not seeing the huge drain using the app.

They updated it with a fix a couple hours ago.

You guys are right, Facebook acknowledged a battery drain bug and released 1.3.1 last night to fix it. I downgraded to 1.2 before the fix was released, and I was able to install 1.3.1 over that this morning from the Market without any tricks. I had been getting noticibly worse batter life since installing Froyo and I assumed it was the OS update itself. However upon hearing about the Facebook bug I realized that I installed that the same day I installed Froyo, so I'm hoping it was that all along. We'll see how my battery holds up today.

Anyone see a difference with 1.3.1 update? Is it fixed or better?

I had to do the date forward trick to get it to download. It downloaded and installed 100% successful. My phone is stock as the day I bought it. Some people say they have seen "failed" install from being rooted, but it still installs.
Testing, and will report back.

Just set your calendar one day ahead.
I just want to know how this update would effect a rooted phone.... i am currently running SRE 1.3.1c
It seems like anyone with a rooted phone might get an error, but it still installs fine. First impressions is actually really good. The phone feels a little faster. The videos are smoother and so is the gallery. When I opened maps it found my location instantly instead of getting the %waiting for location" message. Accuracy was 1000 meters, but I didn't turn on the GPS.
Also the signal strength and internet speed seems much faster. And stronger for me

Just updated mine. Gps is a lot faster! I can even get a lock when indoors now.
I can no longer access the gps menu through the dialer though.

The OTA update now allows me to go into the three button recovery mode. I couldn't do this before.
Does anyone know if we have an unlocked Captivate on another carrier, will be be getting the update? If not, how does one go about getting it?
Installed fine on my rooted phone gps seems snappy but I can't really test right now. Media scan still taking a while but the phone is less laggy while it's running.
So far so good considering I was ready to ditch this phone yesterday. Temporary rage reduction for me.

Downloading now....
Dropped connection during d/l now I cant get it to d/l at all even after a rommanger restore.
I manually checked for a software update on my rooted Captivate, and after downloading and rebooting, I got a message saying the update was not installed.
Mine isn't even showing an update available. I've set the date forward to tomorrow, the 24th, the 25th, 26th, 27th, none show an update available...grrrr...
Any link to the software other than OTA?
Update not installed but baseband version changed to JH7.
I don't notice any difference on a factory-software phone. GPS still does not work indoors at all. I'll try in my vehicle later.

Same here, on the white screen after installing the update it got to 50% and failed. Check my firmware still says jf6 with 2.6.29 [email protected] #2 kernel
I just went to download it on my sister's phone since hers is still factory stock, unrooted, etc...
Nothing at all. Didn't even download the update. Now I can't check for another 24 hours.

OTA Update 1.132.405.6

Just checked my system update and there is a new one available.
System Upgrade 1.132.405.6 (18.1MB)
-Update: Improve screen control and Youtube client performance connection.
I'm guessing the youtube part is perhaps a solution to the crash error in the latest youtube update when you try to go back from landscape mode viewing. Screen control improvement possibly a Proximity Sensor fix?
Yet to download it but will try tonight on WiFi and update on what else seems to have changed.
just checked my had and found same update,,,here goes hope it fixes things and dont break anything (battery should last 5 days with new update )
wishfull thinking
Same here!
I can confirm this fixes the Youtube bug! Don,t have the prox. sensor issue, so can't check this!
+1 Fingers crossed
If you can't see it in the update section of your phone I've uploaded this RUU and others to:
http://mcgh.ee/DHD
Have just installed it, has made a definite improvement to the proximity sensor. Not holding my breath for the next couple of days though.

got it here and it fixes youtube, one thing you have to say about HTC is that they sort out software issues pretty quick .The phones been out about what 10/14 days and 2 updates already , while some say there should not be faults, i look at it that at least they get their finger out and sort them
I like this "bug solving speed" too, compared to 5 months of solving 2.1 bugs in case of Motorola Milestone (which was extremly annoying as one of the bugs was a random reboot bug).
Nice seeing some updates but the sync problems on Exchange 2010 are still the same. I cant use the phone without this feature.
Yes, the Exchange Server 2010 Problem is still unsolved :-(
update, same as all, you tube fixed. i didnt have any issue with sensor ever so...
Can confirm that this update has new radio version: 26.03.02.26_M, HBoot remains at version: 0.85.0007
VISIONary still working nicely. I guess we will see exactly what they mean by "SCREEN CONTROL" in the update as the days move on.

Me too, I thought it was my signal at first and restarted the phone twice, I'll wait until I get home and use the WiFi
Just out of interest are people doing hard resets of the phone after an update? I had to do it after updating when I first got the phone and it solved a lot of the problems I'd started getting since the update but it just seems like effort to do it each time without a decent whole phone backup and restore facility in place.
yes confirm the update did download and install normally....I don't have the prox snsr issue, but seems to fix the youtube bug....
all go here.....love my device....

There's definitely a major bug somewhere in OS

My phone no longer reboots itself or freezes. It hasn't now for over a week but what tends to happen is after about 2 days of use it starts to lag and slow down like crazy. After I reboot it, its again super fast and smooth.
Its almost like there's a memory leak somewhere that is causing this and maybe certain apps cause it more than others? All I know is this has happened twice now and a reboot makes a huge difference.
Also and not sure if this is related but my GPS stops working until I reboot too. I think it's some app I have on the phone that's hitting a bug in the OS and causing this.
Maybe if it gets bad enough it causes reboots like people have been having?

I had the same thing happen last night...GPS would not start no matter what I tried until I rebooted the phone then it worked fine. I agree, there certainly gremlins in this software.
Here's hoping something is coming soon (see my post about the new software update message!).
I wonder if the bug is affecting phones differently. My only problem is my dam wifi. Will not connect under any setting. When it does connect little to no data can be sent. Some else posted this also.

Agreed.. I've been following that thread.. The first clue was "some apps came up missing". Then a confirmation, and then another... and then I bookmarked the thread and decided to have some patience.
Yes good idea me too!. You'll also notice a bunch of people saying it made no difference. So not even worth the risk IMHO!
This just happened again to me. Did you have anything installed that checks location frequently? Shopkick maybe? Have you uninstalled any T-Mobile apps? I'm wondering what causes this since I don't remember having this problem before.

The only thing I'm aware of is Weatherbug, but it's been installed almost since I got the phone (I have it set to track my location).
Um...that patch doesn't patch any kernel files therefore it won't do anything about crashing.
Yeah I noticed this yesterday, navigation refused to start, and things were being klunky, a nice reboot fixed it up!
I notice after a few hours/days things like the add widget menu start lagging pretty bad.
All the more reason to hope hope hope for CM7 with the quickness.
Do you still have Telenav installed? I removed it so not sure if maybe somehow it's related.
I have Shopkick installed, Weatherbug Elite, Beautiful Widgets which I all believe use network location services although none use GPS except Shopkick.
My guess is that the network location API has a bug and crashes so that's why GPS stops working because when it stops working, the GPS can still be turned off and on and apps report it's on but they don't get any response.
I don't use GPS often enough to know how long I've been having this problem. Apart from this, the slowness over time is the main thing I've noticed.
I think weatherbug might be causing weird issues. Ever since I updated a few days ago, when I reboot my g2x and my nexus, I'll get a little box stating it cannot update my location. Altough it does update my location, lol! My GPS will still turn on though!

I have not rooted as I didn't want the restoration hassle if I decided not to stick with this phone so yes, I do still have Telenav installed. My Weatherbug (free version) does turn GPS on to follow me.
After last nights GPS failure to start, the phone gave me fits late morning/early afternoon. I had no bars with an "x" and yet had a data connection (without 2G or 4G shown) at very slow speeds. Rebooted several times and had other similar odd behaviors.
At this point, I am giving serious consideration to ditching the phone before my 20 day trial is up and holding out for the SGS2. My TW Bionix running Vibrant works flawlessly with the single exception of flaky GPS. The big problem with SGS2 is the 4.3" screen...I really don't want a phone bigger than this so perhaps the MT4G might be a better choice.
Decisions...decisions...
OK, now the re-boots are starting. My GPS once again failed to start tonight so I tried to toggle it and it wouldn't turn off/on. I also normally leave bluetooth on all the time and I tried turning it off as well and it wouldn't turn off. It finally did turn off and when trying to turn GPS and bluetooth back on the phone slowed WAY down then re-booted.

[Q] New Google Maps flickers on CM10.1

Some of you may have noticed that the new maps app flickers on MT4GS running CM10.1. I reflashed gapps with the old maps, turned off auto-updates and it still updated itself. It is just useless.
Does anyone have a solution? I doubt google cares.

Saw you mention this in one of the dev threads as well. I'm running SilverL's Unofficial CM 10.1 and haven't personally noticed this issue, while I saw someone else back you up with similar problems.
Maybe you pulled a map update I haven't seen yet? I'm showing version 6.14.4(#6140400) Web
Are you higher? Do you have a lot of layers on maybe?

Yes, version 7 is out. auto-updated earlier week on my phone. dev threads? i don't recall, posting anything, I don't think I have permission to post there.
Anyway, I figured it out. I reflashed gapps, but it doesn't contain the maps app, and that's why it was ineffective. I uninstalled version 7, and pulled the version 6 apk from a friend's phone and installed it.
I also turned off auto-update in play.

Sorry, saw someone mention it, thought it was you! Glad to hear it was sorted, I'll be sure to avoid a map update if I see one pop, but I haven't yet. Maybe it was causing issues outside of custom roms and google stopped pushing it until they got it sorted.
interesting, i was also having this issue.i was on the jellykang rom 1.8 and changed to silverL's 10.1 unofficial cm and im seeing a version 7.0.1 and it look like its working fine. ill report back if i see anything messing up again. but looking at android polices coverage of this update release reported that there were several versions getting pushed all over the place so maybe some work better than others..

Interesting. I finally popped for the map update yesterday, and after reading this I figured I'll give it a shot. I like everyone else definitely had issues with the map, the jitteryness, the menu icon on bottom left slightly off screen. I uninstalled and reverted to 6.14.4 from my backup and it's just fine again. Hope this does get fixed, the new map looks nice if it was working. Wondering if you really are issue free or just didn't notice anything real quick.
It did seem like as I was playing with location options (use network for location, gps radio on or off, let google always allow access, having a gps lock or not) sometimes it seemed like it would smooth out for a second or two, then get all glitchy again. Wonder if any official JB handsets are getting the issue, I think I know what I'll google next.

yea you were right, i just did a glance look at it and didint really dive into it that far. i checked it out again and it is still all messed up so nevermind ..
are there any custom roms that dont have the issue i wonder. maybe this can help narrow down the root cause. unless its just an inherent problem with the app as it stands today. it almost reminds me of this issues i was having with ingress when i was on stock.

Unfortunately it seems to me to be an issue with all of the 10.1's at least, and from my googling before, it seems likely specific to our device, just not sure why
Anywho, I'm pretty OK with maps 6, it works, and still has separate navi app, and is what anyone with earlier than android 4.0 is stuck with anyway.
UPDATE: So I tried the 7/22 update that I got hit with, and it's weird. Initially it seemed OK, aside from the menu button still being half off screen. After fooling around for a bit with menus and settings, it got all flickery again. It seems like it heavily had to do with overlays/prompt dialogues showing up. The box would kind of disappear aside from the outline, but still respond. After fooling around quite a bit and disabling boxes from asking again, eventually everything seems to have evened out. Now I haven't actually done any kind of navigation or heavy use, but I've been using v 7.0.2 now on and off for a few days, and the stutter hasn't come back. Wish I had a more definitive way of what I did to get rid of it, or if it eventually just smoothes out on it's own, but for now it seems like I'm good with the new maps on a CM10.1 rom.
Bump for update, anyone else experiences with new maps?

Im running PACman ROM v22.4.0, same issue as you guys with the new maps, and navigation is a stutterfest.
I'm on jellykang 1.8 and that's definitely happening to me. especially in the navigation app
Since others are now finding this thread outside of just us DS users, I figure I'll share this idea from a dev thread:

I hadn't, but that's a wonderful suggestion, wonder if anyone else has?

So something for others to try/chime in on?

Hrm, I'll try it. Just loaded maps now, it was sketchy, disabled and seemed fine. Turned back on, and it was still fine, this one seems to be crazy inconsistent.
It wotk fine on my device
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk 2
possible workaround?
I found another workaround that seems to work for me:
Turn on the "Extended Desktop" (or "Expanded"? I'm on German here). And it's gone. Strangely the flickers don't return when I turn it off again.
Extended Desktop Option has to be activated in the settings, if it's not available in the power switch menu.
Counter perspective
I've just been working with the newest CM builds for the MT4GS, and I don't encounter any flickering. This is with a complete wipe prior to installing however.
same issue with HTC G2 on CM10.1
Hello,
I experienced the same issue on my HTC G2 with CM10.1. I had to revert to Maps v6...the v7 would sometime work fine, but most of the time I had some part of the screen flickering and the navigation feature was not usable at all (the animation would not work). I first thought it might be because of the overclocking. but I tried with stock frequency and the issue persisted.
My wife's Sony Ericsson Mk16a also has the same issue but on a custom stock rom..

I'm having this problem too. I don't have snapchat or any of the other applications that have been claimed to cause it.
I haven't installed any new camera using apps so it's probably due to some update. Stock rom, was happening on stock kernel, is still happening on linaro.

I'm not sure if this helps or relates to your situation but I had that problem about a month after installing jishnu's camera...kinda came out of nowhere one day. I deleted the app/ mod, rebooted and reinstalled it and haven't had the problem since.
this is a nightmare, as it is unpredictable, with no solution, and not addressed by google.. Even after a factory reset, it ends up coming back.
I got this 2 days ago, first time ever. And I have been using my camera consistently.
First when I start my camera, I get Unable to connect to camera, so I rebooted, and camera works again, but at the end of the day, I saw the high memory usage. I rebooted the phone again yesterday and it seems fine again. Buggy...
And this process have no "Report" button like Google Search or Google Maps have, so I have no way of reporting this issue to Google.
One of the culprit is Yahoo! Messenger's voice/video plugin... Or any other apps that will use the camera..
If you were trying to upload a picture but failed in the mid way... this might occured as the app will always trying to upload the pic eventhough it got failed..
Per my similar topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564457 the culprit for me seems to be an update to Skype pushed out a few days ago.

hmm, now you mentioned it, I did install skype on my phone a while ago.
Let me uninstall it!
Since I removed Skype I've had zero more black screens; I'm pretty confident that this is the cause for me.
Negative Guys....
I'm sure that is not third party apps that is causing that drainage,
Why in the world suddenly all people are experiencing this batt drainage with many different apps and blaming them?
I have the problem with weather channel and the mm-qcamera-daemon, others with skype, others with yahoo messenger and so on, this problem suddenly?
I believe that google is working on that problem but not saying anything about it.
Please read all these reports in these 2 links and after that tell me that I'm wrong.

I know that some people just uninstall an application and then it works again as before, but later on the problem shall arise in a few days or something, I've read this. Let me uninstall it and let you know, maybe it was an update that caused the problem but I got The Weather Channel that said it was something similar to mm-qcamera.daemon and I uninstalled it and the same problem, I deleted the cache and davlik cache as well and it did not work, I have rebooted several times and it seems that I have to do a nandroid restore and see what happens after that.

I am not actually blaming them, just want to find out HOW to make sure this doesn't happen to me. If it involves uninstalling Skype, then let it be.
This is definitely a OS process, its whether there's a bug in the OS, that was triggered by Skype, OR its that Skype is not using the API correctly, either way, the "solution" for now is just to uninstall Skype.
/Skype/any other apps that's reported here/

I would agree with this. I've frozen Skype with TiBackup to see what happens.
reboot with clearing cache did the job for me
