Unable to update Facebook app?

I may have run into a weird bug. I cannot access Facebook in the playstore, and when I look at the version that came preinstalled on the First, it's version 3.0, whereas on my HTC, it's running 3.2.
Anyone else running into this?
It isn't a huge concern, as I'm giving this phone to my grandmother who doesn't even use facebook, but, I just find this endlessly odd.

That shouldn't happen. Have you tried visiting the "my apps" section of the play store and try the Facebook app that (should) show up there?

It doesn't show up anywhere. Not in the my apps section, and not when I search for it in the play store. Even on the desktop, the web version of the play store says its incompatible. It's a bit weird.

I'm getting the same thing. I just took a screenshot.

Hmm, Maybe this SKU of the first has mistakenly been blackballed from receiving facebook updates in the play store? If anyone has any other colors, I'd like to know if they are experiencing the same problem.

Same issue. Blue version.

I have a black HTC First and was able to update Facebook to 3.2.1. However, this update was supposed to add the much need Favorites Bar (Dock) to the Home launcher. It is not working for me.
Anyone else seeing this?

MMS Compression

My wife and I are new One owners and I just noticed that when we send pictures to each other, the resolution gets knocked down to 360x640 and I am unable to zoom in. The original size is 2680x1520 so this is a huge drop. The issue is present when viewing the picture from the text and if it is saved to the gallery. Max picture size is set to 2m in settings.
Anyone else have this issue? Workarounds? I don't really want a 3rd party app.
I had an evo for 2 years and it never had this issue. Maybe because it was rooted? I'm on Sprint, not sure if that matters.

While in Messaging app, go to Settings>MMS and make sure Maximum Message Size is set to the highest setting (1M).

It's been set to 2m since the beginning. Any other ideas?

No, I stated this the first week I had the phone and no one else seemed to think it was an issue. I'll post the link to the threads and also to someone else that was having the problem.
Hopefully with it spreading more we can get it fixed.
Incoming MMS are at a lower resolution then other peoples phones?
For those of you with a T-Mobile HTC One, I would like some help with a test
Is no one else besides me noticing the small MMS pictures?!

Thanks for the links. There has to be a way to change the compression settings. What about root and custom rom?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

This really sucks. There's no reason my pictures should be automatically shrunk down to 32kb when I have it set to 2mb max.
Has anyone been able to send decent resolution mms pictures with the stock messaging program?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

I'm really hoping that when we get the 4.2.2 update it will include a fix for it
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I noticed this for the first time last night and I couldn't believe it.
I tried a few things to fix it and couldn't believe that I wasn't able to resolve it.
I am astonished that this is a legitimate "problem" or downfall.
Crazy!!

Yup. Having a picture reduced to 32kb and ~320x600 when you have the max mms size set to 2mb is absurd. My old Evo 4G didn't do this.

This is seriously terrible
This phone is amazing, but the fact I can't send MMS without it getting compressed to no hell is starting to become a dealbreaker. No, I don't want to use GoSMS, I hate the cluttered interface and I like the simplicity of the stock app. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I tried to modify my own MMS.apk on the HTC One X+ but had no luck. Now I see the HTC One has the same issue. What gives?????????

I still haven't found a fix yet. Any word on a workaround for rooted devices? Maybe the 4.2.2 update?

I haven't found one either, I'm hoping for one on the update. I tried the Google edition rom. My wifes Nexus 4 gets the pics w/ no compression so I was hoping the GE would fix it

Gallery Photos Sync

So I got my One yesterday and the first thing I noticed was the gallery syncing my friends' photos. I am chill with that, but I want to know how I can change the first rectangular thumbnail that says 'friends' cuz it happens to be a picture of Lil Wayne that someone uploaded and I don't want to be stuck with that. Any ideas?

Try pulling the screen down to refresh it should change to another pic in that tile.

Already tried, didn't work.
The thumbnail stays the same.

You could try clearing data and cache for the gallery app but in any event it will eventually change itself or it should anyway mine updates itself to a different picture now and again... I tested with a refresh before I posted a lol bit ago and it changed then but doesn't now.

I feel your pain, ugly f**ker ain't he.

Some Apps going into tablet mode

Hello. I'm using ARHD 10.3. When I use the app ultimate guitar it zooms out so much that it looks like the app recognizes this phone as a tablet. It also happens with a few other apps.I've attached a screenshot. Anyone else experiencing this.

1. Why do you open a thread for this? Next time ask in the arhd thread.
2. I dont have this issue. Did you mess with the screen density?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Are you sure this is ARHD specific?
If not my guess is the app is written in something like jQuery mobile (not native) and it sets layout depending on resolution rather than device-width and I'd report a bug.

I don't think its ARHD specific. World of Goo, Angry Birds, and Connectbot all load in what appears tablet mode on my One, Connectbot in particular comes in with text about two millimeters high. It looks like the text is coming in at a set pixel height and because of the One's pixel density the text is too small to be readable.

Screen on notification

Is there anyway to stop the screen on Notification? I am rooted and I will happily delete a file or modify code if someone knows the answer.

What do you mean by screen on notification?

Sorry what I mean is when the screen turns on when you get a text message. I do not want the screen to turn on when I get a message.

Open messages. tap menu, settings, and then more. About midways You will see an option to preview message. Make sure that is not checked.

No that just prevents me from seeing who texted. I need to disable the screen from turning on

I did some surfing and found that the screen coming on is an AT&T variant exclusive and cannot be disabled. Sprint's version as well as Verizons does not come on. The preview option still lets it come on, just does not tell you what the message says. So you will just have to live with it unless you want to sell yours and get a Sprint version.

While that's not happening lol. Maybe I can find the build prop line and edit it. Thanks though. If anyone else has figured this out please let me know.

That does not control if the screen wakes up or not when you get a text. That just controls if it shows on the status bar and yes that is stock even for AT&T. His issue is the phone wakes on text and he does not want that. At least not so much that the screen lights up. That feature is an AT&T feature and cannot be disabled with an AT&T ROM.

It seems the attachment in the pic has the option for turning the screen on setting off. I like the stock tom and do not want to change it. Is there a way to just side load the mms.apk from his rom?

If you want to install and use safe strap then you can load and use the xnote ROM. otherwise due to the bootloader being locked there is no side loading on this version of the Note 3.

The post above yours by solarenemy (quoted below) seems to imply that sideloading mms.apk from another rom wouldn't even solve this problem (I don't know whether or nor mms.apk could be sideloaded - I think it could be, via the usual rigamarole for changing system apps):

This sounds like the sort of thing that should be possible using xposed framework... Though I don't know if any modules exist yet which do it.
Flashing ROMs would require safestrap, and could surely get what you want even within the limitations of the locked bootloader - but this is, I think, more dramatic than it needs to be to get what you want.

Your right. There was an option in Wanam. I would have never have thought to use that. Thank you so much.

I had the same issue with Note 2 and now with Note 3.
Fortunately I use Google Hangouts to handle my SMS/MMS and the issue does not occur with Hangouts app. I know its not a solution but I could not find a proper way to disable this with the default messaging app.
On a side note, I still have issue with Calender reminder pop-up which turns the screen on and there is no way to disable it. I have 100s of calendar entries synced through my Google Calender which has one of the default reminder set as pop-up on web interface which triggers the full screen pop-up on phone as well waking the screen.

Solved

In either case. There was an option in Wanam which gave me the feature in the mms settings.
