Belongs in q & a. Try reinstalling otherwise its probably just the app. Could b because of the dispute between Facebook and Google

Sorry, I didn't want to clutter q and a anymore, and since it was an app issue I felt that it should be posted in here

Though i understand your thought process. The q a section exists to be a clutter box.
The android fb app is trash. They hate google. Why would they strive to improve the experience of a direct competitors product.

Just rooted, Now what?

This is the first time I have ever been near or used an Android phone. I got my i9000 a few days ago and have started messing about with widgets etc. I have been reading this forum for a few months prior to owning an Android phone as technology interests me. I was following a home screen thread and realized I had to root my Galaxy S to be able to take screenshots. Then I found the One Click Lag Fix app that was on the Android market. The lag was something that was really bothering me and now its running really smooth.
So now I have root what else should I do to my phone?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
A couple apps I use that need root access: mybackup pro and root explorer.
Have fun
I'll be sure to check them out. Anyone else?

This is what I thought too. Apart from backing up to the average user, there doesn't seem to be a lot to do!

Flash roms, overclock cpu, clear app caches. Modify system apps (eg make browser fullscreen).
Anything really.
Clocksync - if cell-network time sync sucks.
MarketAccess - if you can't purchase apps on market
Autokiller or Minfree manager - to keep memory tidy (less necessary on the most recent firmwares)
Screenshot - should be obvious.

Google Android apps found to be sharing data

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11443111
Apologies if this has been said already.
Good post!
Some apps gathered and despatched location information even when an application was not running and some sent updates every 30 seconds.

First of all, anyone have a list of the apps? And secondly, could the above be the reason that alot of people running Android suffer worse battery loss than others?
u can find a setting like that next to the gps switch in the settinngs menu

Dunno, but explains high data usuage. 1gb plus for me on moderate use

Nope, apps on the android market are not vetted or checked.
You are expected to check the permissions an app uses, and decide to install or not. When one of our team published an app, it appeared within seconds on the market available for install.

Very informative.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Im not so much annoyed they are getting information from me. At the end of the day there is very little information they can take.
BUT:
I am annoyed that apps are doing things I have not asked them too. Thats the single most annoying thing an application can possibly do!
I want my phone to do what I ask of it.
Not what some developer wants... What are they? A bunch of little steve jobs?!
Im glad the devs here are trustworthy..

Don't really know as I haven't used that function with the app. Someone will likely come through with an answer.
The app is getting more problems.... I now have to login everytime I open this app.... what's happening!?!?!?!
It also Force Closes if you try to search.
For the freaking XDA app, you'd think they could round up a couple people who knew what they were doing...

XDA app works......but FC's when I sign in

maybe someone can help. I have XDA app ( free and premium applies to this) and I am able to read posts as long as I am a guest. when I sign in it seems OK as I can browse the threads. but when I try open a post the app force closes on me.
I have read some people have no issues with this app and some do. I have a wifi only xoom. I'm wondering if the issue is limited to this model and works fine on 3g model?
if anyone has any input please let me know here. thanks

I never had a problem with it on my 3g version but once I switched to wifi I got the same issues as you. Xda, slacker, pandora and many other apps just won't work on my wifi xoom....very frustrating as I use all'of those apps often....in the end its not just you
Same with me. It also does not remember my sign in and I have to sign in every time. wifi xoom
Has anyone contacted the developers of Tapatalk?

The more people that contact them, the better chance it will get fixed.
This problem does not occur on tapatalk, only when using xda app (for me and a lot of others). Tapatalk works fine excet for this weird blur on long OPs.

Yes. Once you get into the xda forum from tapatalk app its almost identical.
I don't do software, my brain isn't wired that way, but I will look at the two and see what I can find. Sometimes I get lucky. Will update OP if I find anything.

Been following some forums here again after a break due to the frustration from the format change, so I thought I'd try installing the XDA app again - and I'm sorry, I find it completely unusable.
The old app was very user friendly, brought up your participated and following easily - in the new app, even when I search the forums for a topic, it brings up a bunch of unrelated cr*p. Now, perhaps the forum I'm looking for is in there somewhere, but I don't have time for that.
No doubt there were good reasons for the new format and new app, but not gonna lie - they aren't apparent from this user's perspective. Uninstalled again.
