Facebook widget (battery issue) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use facebook widget 5 minutes max each day....also i've disabled notifications and refresh interval-->never....still in About Phone-Battery use i get (60-85%) for facebook...wtf??...should i delete fb widget and use it as an app?
Also in Battery use
Maps (5-15%)...i never use them.
Display (20-30%)

Same here. Realise that Facebook widget is causing battery drain, took it out, use either the app or browser itself and back to normal. I'm using the I9023 version though.

Friend Stream painfully slow?

Haven't seen much written about this, so thought I'd throw it out there - for those using Sense, is your Friend Stream painfully slow when it comes to loading comments, posting comments, loading people's pages, etc? I love it for the widget and how easy it is to see twitter/FB posts on the home screen, but as for actually using it interactively (pretty much anything beyond just reading posts), it takes FOREVER and drives me crazy.
I'm still running stock, so maybe it runs better on rooted Friend Stream? Idk, I'm just perplexed by why it's so slow since most everything else is blazing fast. Every time I try to comment on a post through Friend Stream it makes me want to just use the FB app or the mobile site. Anyone else?
I use LauncherPro Plus and the "Friends" Widget, which works great.
Occasionally, if there is any issue with it not refreshing (which is not very often, but does happen) I just "restart" launcher pro and then trash and replace the widget. Always fixes it.
Maybe if your using Sense just trash the widget, force stop Sense, re-add widget?

Thanks for the reply, but the problem isn't that the widget doesn't refresh, it's that when I click on a post and then it takes me to the friend stream app, the APP is really slow. Takes like a minute or two for things to process. The widget has been updating regularly.
I'm on rooted stock rom and I feel your pain. Friendstream is horribly slow when you want to do anything other than read posts in the widget. I always end up using the FB app. Sucks, but I like the FS widget.

You just described exactly where I am with the whole thing. Love the widget, but have to use the FB app for interactive stuff. It's not a data thing b/c the dedicated FB app always refreshes and loads like *that* - but the friend stream app doing anything is...like...*thaaaaaaaattttt* (i.e. really slow). In a perfect world the widget and app would be one and the same, but oh well.
I'm having the same problem with mine friend stream app. The widget is fine but the app itself is dreadful!
Lol well at least it's nice to know that I'm not the only one. I guess that's why I started the thread, to make sure I didn't have a bad apple...well that and the hope that maybe someone would have a 'fix.' Oh well, I guess we just really have to treat is as ONLY a widget.
Does anyone have issues with Facebook no longer being an option to sync on the mytouch.
I have a black mytouch and I only have the option to sync Flickr and Twitter to my friendstream and I know for a fact that you could have Facebook because it worked on my white mytouch

You should definitely be able to stream FB through Friendstream. I only use it for FB and Twitter. Not sure why it wouldn't recognize it.
Yeah I factory reset and everything and still no go.

[Q] A lot of Running Apps?

I see that there are a lot of running apps running when I go to settings --> Applications --> Running
There are apps that are running even though I'm not using them, like Beautiful widgets, GTasks, Speaktoit Assistant, Engadget, and Maps. Like I don't have any Beautiful Widgets on my homescreen, I'm using other widgets. And I have no idea why GTask, Speaktoit, Engadget, and Maps are running when I don't have any notifications set for them. I keep closing them too but they keep coming back. Anyone know why and how to stop them? I don't think they're killing my battery, but they are slowing my phone down. Thank you
An app like juice defender plus lets you control what apps run in background. It is a paid app but I like it. It saves my battery

120 views of people saying haha and clicking back? Anything Facebook is a wakelock inducing, time draining waste of resources. Use the web Site or, better yet, cut the cord on the data mining myspace of 2013.
Yeh I'm sorry but I like to talk to people

Too long.
But other question: How do I disable this annoying auto-rotate, even auto-rotate is off in system settings? >.<
Setting accessibility auto rotate screen unchecked

Screen rotation is already unchecked.
Then try settings display and gestures autj rotate screen
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Unchecked, too. Every other app is locked, only Facebook Messenger keeps rotating...
Ask on Google play sorry I don't know
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Odd, mine doesn't auto-rotate once I uncheck the box in settings. As for texting via Facebook messenger.. that was recently added wasn't it? I tried sending a message earlier and asked if I wanted via the texting app, messenger..
Lol I reinstalled messenger and now it doesn't rotate any more...

If you already have Facebook app installed, why do you want to install messenger? You can use the messenger inside the app. At least is what i do .

faster + hopefully work as messaging hub
On the other hand, i don't use Facebook messenger very often. I prefer Whatsup for faster communication.
Menu => Settings => SMS/MMS => tick enabled

Google chrome battery drainer?

I've been using Google chrome for about 30 minutes now, and in my battery stats, shows a massive drain in battery caused by Google. Anyone wanna shed some light? And if I decide to download a second browser, can the Google search widget on the home screen use dolphin browser instead of chrome?

I've seen massive drain with Google plus but not chrome. I think you can use the search widget with dolphin because it works with aosp browser on custom Roms that don't have chrome. (I haven't actually tested it but the bar was there and the only browser there was aosp?

How to Minimize Blinkfeed Battery Drain?

I tried to like Blinkfeed but find that I don't use it, especially now that I use Apex Launcher. Seeing as Blinkfeed is baked into the OS, and that it can't be fully disabled, does anyone have thoughts on how to minimize any battery drain that the app may have? Is the most I can do simply to unsubscribe all feeds and remove it as a home screen?
Thanks for any guidance.

Not sure if there's a way to disable auto-refresh, but you can set it to auto-refresh on wifi only.
That will help a little.
I have the impression that it drains very little battery though - it rarely refreshes on its own and I usually have to pull it down to do a manual refresh.
