Facebook

Is everyone getting the force close?

I'm not sure if there is a particular issue you are talking about. I haven't had any force closes with facebook recently. What exactly are you doing when it happens?
Try clearing the app data/cache for Facebook in Manage Applications under settings.

Working fine here on gtg's Rom.

Ever since the update on the market it has been on my evo and inspire.

which Facebook are you using first of all (?)
Facebook for HTC sense doesnt seem to work right for me. (issues loading refreshed views... i get 3 mo old status updates)
facebook ap in the marketplace version 1.5.0 works fine for me but has no video upload capabilities.
facebook for touch does not work properly for me, not sure where i found this one but i cant get it to work right.
Hope that helps, goodluck.

I've been experienceing force closes with facebook version 1.5.3 on cm7 latest nightly. I had also experneiced them with the Inspired Saga ROM aswell. They are pretty random as i can't seem to reproduce them. So i was also thinking its app related.

I use flow and go chat

Google Talk Video Chat - HTC Sensation

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.

On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?

I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?

So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

worked fine for me sensation to pc
frozed on sensation to iphone

second try it freezes have to turn video off than on to get to work for few more seconds

Heh, well I guess they'd rather it be unavailable than defective... Thanks for the info.

force it to stop, back out of the item to the list & then select it again. sometimes you have to go out & go back in for the uninstall to actually select

Android 4.3 CM10.2 624MB

I am using android1234567 cm10.2 rom and have noticed that since being built with linaro.
I have been getting a robotic sound when making calls.
I need to turn the speaker on and off for the call to sound normal again.
this is something I used to get on albinomans cm10.1 and only started getting the issue with the 26/8 build of android 1-7

mms? google gallery?
Hey all,
first of all, android1-7, congrats for a great and super-fast rom!!! I really love it, especially the 624 version (yeah, chrome finally works ok ).
However, I've got some (minor) problems (and still cannot post in the original thread):
1) mms is not working for me. tried sending it to myself and after 4 days still nothing. any solutions?
2) i'd like to have google gallery (photosphere ) -- tried downloading it and installing and after a while it just says 'App not installed'. It worked on 4.0.4 rom; have tried two different apks, and still the same ...
3) i cannot change the maximum cpu frequency in 'performance'. it just stays at 1.5GHz. How to do that?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
cheers

My voice calls work perfectly normal since (one of the) the first build(s). Did you do the full wipe?

Try to use a root file manager to rename gallery.apk under /system/app and install the 3d Gallery apk for HTC One play edition. This works for me but the photosphere is not as good as that in a new Nexus 7 probably because of less memory available.

I did a full wipe when first coming to this ROM. Now for every update I have been wipinig cache and dalvik only.
I just flashed the latest 27/8 build so I'll see how this goes I guess.

I've been having this problem for months now even with a full wipe. I thought it was just phone. It didn't bug me enough to fix it.

Its OK when I make the call but when I answer a call and it goes straight into robot voice it can be annoying.

Oh. Mines only when I call others. I've never had it happen when answering. You could send a bug report to the dev and post in this thread and probably get a better response. Sorry man I can't help much :-/ maybe if you did a full wipe(everything besides sdcard, not just phone reset) and reflashed the newer version of the Rom. I doubt it, but I hope that helps haha

I do also get it when making calls but I can deal with that. Anyway so far it hasn't happened on the 27/8 build.

Full clean install of 3/09 and still have robotic voice issues when making calls.
Is quite frustrating to have to press loudspeaker button twice to correct the audio being heard through the speaker.
This for me is way more frustrating than a buggy camera.

That's a rom bug wait to be fixed

I don't know if this problem is rom specific, but..
for me to use usb tethering in windows I need to update the driver every time I want to use it.
then to get mass storage device back I again need to update the driver to recognise the phone.
this is something I didn't experience in the stock sense rom.
seems like the signal the pc is getting is confused and cant assign different drivers for different outputs from the phone???

I noticed that since 9/15 build the camera focus does not focus correctly

Just had a totally random reboot

Issue Adding Facebook to BlinkFeed

I found it weird that the phone shipped without Facebook installed. But after downloading and installing it, I was prompted to authorize HTC Sense. I did that, but I still cannot add it to BlinkFeed. If I check the box, it holds for a few seconds before unchecking itself.
Anyone else have the issue? I am running the semi-nightly betas from the Play Store.

I did.
However I did succeed in adding Facebook about an hour or so after this post. I had to uninstall Facebook completely, and then select the option to download it through BlinkFeed. It redirects to the Play Store and after installing again it worked as expected.

I know it sounds strange but had the same issue added out through the tv app and got it to work.
