Facebook 1.3.0 keeping phone awake

If you updated to Facebook 1.3.0, have you noticed it keeping your phone awake? I updated and Spareparts is showing its wake lock time higher than Android System over time. I'm using Darchdroid 2.7 with uv kernel.

I also had 100% awake times with it last night, needless to say, uninstalled until fixed. What a disappointment...

I updated to 1.3.0 and I do not have this issue. For what it's worth, I disabled all syncing and notifications in the app settings
Edit: I realized I haven't opened Facebook since the last time I rebooted. I recently opened it and closed it. Indeed, the partial wake bar is rising slowly but surely...

Having the same issue here on a HTC Desire, had to uninstall the update.
Partner doesn't seem to be having the same issue on her Legend though, which is strange (though, the facebook for HTC sense program is keeping her phone awake, , I don't understand how so many developers are falling into this hole - It's starting to become a serious problem with Android)

Same issue here on the desire. I uninstalled the update, back on 1.2

Fresh made A post about this on his page. I have 1.2 if anyone needs it.

facebook has confirmed and is working on a fix: http://www.androidcentral.com/facebook-confirms-battery-drain-latest-android-update

Just uninstall the update through the manage applications menu, once you click on Facebook you hit manage space and then uninstall updates.

Status/notification bar disappears

My status bar keeps disappearing. It pops back up for a moment, every few seconds, but then disappears again. It's like the device thinks it should be in full screen mode or something. I first experienced it after installing ever note, which went to a full screen display after I logged in. I un installed ever note and re booted twice... the second re boot seemed to fix it. But it just happened again when I launched the xda premium app.
I also notice that it no longer says my name, just "my kindle", in the status bar... before disappearing again. Maybe that element of the launcher is stuck in a cycle???
Anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?

I'm seeing the same thing. But, I think it might be worth noting what I have done to mine that may be affecting it:
1) Rooted
2) Installed Google Play
3) Removed my ads (unofficially)
I found if I go to the kindle management page on Amazon.com and change the name of my kindle, it does push it down to the kindle. However, it loses after some time again.

So far I have not rooted... just side loaded GMail and Google maps. Amazon cs was not very helpful...told me to swipe down and hit sync, but the problem is that I can't access sync or any of the tools in the status bar

OK, the root was what I assumed was causing it. If you haven't really modified yours, then it might just be an bug. Perhaps an update will fix it.
Anyone have a completely stock KFHD and noticed this?

Did you get the OTA update?
I had no problems stock and running fine rooted now with Google apps. Might want to restore to stock and test each app you install.

I did a cold shutdown and power up, and so far its doing better. I'll see if it decides to act up again. Fingers crossed.

I think it will do it again for you...I'm having the same problem. I have _not_ rooted, but I have installed Google Maps, Google Drive, Google Mail, Google Maps, and Google Play Books...along with the Google Framework and Google Login. I just noticed this behavior today.
Yesterday I was able to get the Google Framework working with my apps by installing Google Framework and then reinstalling all of the apps that started not working. I'm wondering if it is having Google Framework on the KFHD. I needed Google Framework to get Google Drive working (which is working quite well now).
Be nice to get the status bar back. When I shut down (not sure how to do a reboot), the status bar shows up. Then after a while...it goes away again.
UPDATE: It seems that after I shutdown and restart the notification bar is fine until something tries to write to it. So whenever I get a new notification, it seems to crash the notification bar. I did install USAToday last night. I've uninstalled Google Framework this morning and I'm getting the same behavior. It would be nice to know what is causing it.
---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------
I uninstalled in the following order:
1) Google Framework
2) UsaToday (since I just downloaded it last night)
3) google Drive
4) Google Mail (when I uninstalled this my notification bar _magically_ came back and has been working ever since.
I don't have time right now, but I will probably reinstall everything to see if I can reproduce the issue and then see if running GMail fixes the issue. I noticed that something was doing a notification which caused the bar to disappear. I wonder if it was some issue with Gmail.... I'll report back later tonight...unless someone else with the issue can verify things.

I'm having a hard time reproducing the error. It hasn't recurred since yesterday afternoon. It may be noteworthy that the last time the notification bar disappeared, I opened GMail to send something and the bar reappeared. It has remained since then.
Go figure... I wouldn't worry too much about it being a Google framework issue, though. At least a few people have reported the same problem on the amazon forum.

I went through a factory reset today, and redid everything I did previously. The only difference is I did not install the GoogleLoginService.apk as I had before. Thus far I am not experiencing any disappearing notification bar. Things have been writing to the bar all morning, and I have opened every app on the device without an issue thus far. I'll report back if it decides to disappear again.

Well it is happening on my kfhd as well. Guess I will have to do a reset as well but rather not to tell the truth. Maybe unregister and reregister or is that the same thing
Update: just went into gmail and after closing, the bar is back! WT.

I tried the unregister/register and it didn't help. I realized that I did not install Gmail this time either, another difference from last time. Perhaps its the culprit?

I have a very good feeling it is gmail. I did not have this issue until after I installed gmail and the notifications started to come in.
That is when I started to see on instances the notification bar disappearing. Going back to the original carousel, opening gmail seems to have fixed the issue. In the play store, it says that it was updated for 7" tablets (most likely for nexus 7) but perhaps not having the proper support for the KFHD7. Uninstalled gmail and everything is back to normal.

It has been two days since my status bar disappeared. After opening GMail, it reappeared and has stayed without any more problems (knock on wood).
So... don't despair, GMail can work with the fire!

my kindle is rooted
this happened to me today after i installed accountsandsynsettings apk and allowed gmail to syn opening gmail has returned the notification settings. oddly it was when i got an email at two 2am that i noticed the notification bar disappearing tried shutting down the kindle then turn on but will not fix . but since i open gmail its back.

It definitely appears to be caused by Gmail. Just turn off notifications from Gmail in the app settings and you will no longer encounter the issue.
Sent from my KFTT using xda premium

I had the same problem. I went into "Settings" and there is a section to manage Notification settings. I just turned off notifications to apps I didn't need and the problem stopped. I didn't go as far as figuring out which App was responsible but it seems that certain apps can screw it up.

Same issue. Playing with different scenarios. Worst case I will re-install from scratch.

Again, Gmail is a sufficient cause.. there may be other apps as well, but if you disable Gmail notifications it will most likely solve the problem

Thanks man! I did exactly as you described and my notification bar is back. What is causing it to disappear?

Amazon and google not playing nice. Gotta remember that you are sideloading it onto the KFHD.

[Q] Location Issues with Non-Google Apps

Since yesterday I've been experiencing issues with location features on non-Google apps. Specifically:
Waze boots then FCs.
Facebook can't find my location when I try to check in, but CAN find my location if I tap the location icon when writing a status update.
Google apps are unaffected. Navigation works fine and check ins via the G+ app also work properly.
The only things I've done since the last time I used Waze or Facebook was to install Rootkeeper and attempt to install the latest OTA. The OTA installation failed at the bootloader so I don't think any system changes were made.
Regardless, I've since uninstalled Rootkeeper and flashed the odexed, updated stock ROM that viperboy posted but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am also experiencing issues with my location update. This started after the update was installed on my device. My phone reads "current location" but never updates. I have rebooted many times but no fix.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium

I am encountering the same issue. I justed restored my One to a unrooted stock state last night. This morning ran into the same issue of Waze closing when trying to launch it. Also noticed that the location displayed on the phone now says ""My Location", Yelp and Foursquare will not display useful info unless I get a GPS signal. Foursquare shows me results all over the globe (Tel Aviv, Sai Paulo) and when the map appears in Yelp it is off the coast of West Africa....

Well looks like a factory restore has resolved my issues. Thank goodness for Helium.

Factory reset worked for me as well. Thanks, Helium!!

I hate to do a factory reset when I just setup my phone. I'm not rooted yet so I can't make a backup.

Works fine for me. Don't forget to go to the app info in settings and make sure the "show notifications" checkbox is checked. Then don't forget to go to the settings within the Hangouts app --> SMS --> check notifications. If all else fails, uninstall updates and reinstall from Play store. Good luck!

Perhaps the texts from Sprint's network aren't playing nice with Hangouts? Stearic, can you verify if you're on sprint or not? I know Sprint's sms system is slightly different than most other carriers. If this is a Sprint issue, then there really isn't much you can do...

I'm on verizon. Txt's from both other vzw users and from google sms. Where are both these "show notifications" options at? You mean both for the email section and sms section in hangouts? Those are both set for me and i still don't get any.

I had this problem when I first installed it. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why I wasn't getting any notifications. I had go sms installed at the time and even disabled notifications from that. Still no dice. Finally I uninstalled go SMS completely and it finally started working properly. My advice if you have any other messaging app uninstall it even if you don't use it.

Twitter notification not working

I'm using a non-rooted Nook HD and I have Twitter installed and up to date. In previous versions I have been able to receive notifications on my status bar, but it doesn't work anymore. My sister has the Nook HD as well, but her notifications work. I've made sure notifications have been turned on within the Nook settings AND the app itself.

I uninstalled it by holding the app until the uninstall message came up, so yes I uninstalled it first

yeah so I looked into it and discovered that Android tablets aren't compatible with push notifications right now. Which is weird since in the past it had worked. Whatever, thanks for the help!

Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handmark.tweetcaster. Works great on the Nook.

No, their official online page just says this:
Enabling notifications on Kindle Fire or other tablet?
Notifications are not push compatible on tablets even if Twitter for Android is installed.
The notification setting relies on the sync setting and sync Interval to determine when the app pulls for new mentions, favorites, retweets, new followers, direct messages, or Tweets.
Notifications will only appear when the device is active; no notifications appear when the device's screen turns off or goes to standby, but will appear in the status bar once the device is activated.
Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rk.tweetcaster. Works great on the Nook.
