Multiuser was finally enabled. Great news on that front.

With the update to 4.3 comes App Ops! Now we can restrict individual apps from accessing personal information.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/app-ops-brings-granular-permissions-control-to-android-4-3/
It is with misfortune that this functionality will be removed if our devices get updated to 4.4.2.

4.3 update install failed
I downloaded and there was a button that said install/restart. Clicked the button it disappeared, but nothing else happened. Didn't install 4.3... restart did nothing. If i try to download system update, it tells me the system is already up to date. I don't see the update file in downloads, could it be somewhere else. Any thoughts?

I understand that on most android devices the update goes on the cache partition (which is only viewable with root).

Thanks for the reply. I'll check with dells venue support forum to see if they have another option.

Same thing happened to me.

I got the update...mine is on 4.3.....software version shows 3830_V1.16. The only addition i can see is the multiple user option...OH AND IT BROKE the ability to sync with exchange for emails (using built in email). pain the the ass cause i got this to handle work stuff while lounging around and not having my laptop. Many other users are complaining about this issue but so far i have found nothing for a fix. I like the built in email and hate to have to buy an app just to get my work email now. grrr

I use the stock email client for my work email and it still works like a charm. Where else are you reading that people are reporting this problem?

I have the same email problem with my Hotmail: 4.2.2 worked flawlessly, but now 4.3 will not connect to Hotmail using the stock client. The workaround solution is to download and use Microsoft's official Outlook app from Google Play. You'll have to use the Outlook client to send and receive mail, but at least your email will start working again.

Hotmail settings that work

Buggy Facebook?

Well for the past few weeks, if I try to update my status via the facebook App, I get the message:
104: Incorrect signature
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only way to get "around" this is to log out, and log back in. But having to do that each time is beginning to get on my wick.
Any fix for this chums?
microsoft swears they are working on it.
Just another reason I use android daily now on my hd2. Facebook on windows mobile really is only available via the internet explorer or opera, twitter seems to work quite well though

Just tested mine and it seems to be working here? Takes a while to update the status but definitely working.
The problems which I have been facing were as follows:
1. With the "previous" version (1.48.405.2?) of the official ROM, though I had checked the box "store password" I would have to re-enter username and pwd everytime I went to facebook via Sense shortcut. Very annoying
2. Lately, since the update to 3.14.405.2 I also can't update the status, the only status update I got was "Hobo2009 installed Facebook for Windows Phone"

Has Facebook v1.8.2 broken your push notifications?

Mine are dead since the update...
How can I fix them? Maybe using an older apk?
Thanks,
TD
Nah mate mine still work, just make sure refresh is set to never but notifications are turned on. I get em roughly 20-30 secs later than the actual website

Yes that is how they are set, as they were pre 1.8.2,and they used to work flawlessly. I also tried rebooting, and logging off and back on in both Facebook and Facebook messenger, still nothing
Got the same problem.I stopped getting notifications after the update.Only get them via google mail but super late.Reading the comments on the market it seems that its happening to many people.Guess its a hit and miss thing weather the update works or not.Some people are also uninstalling the update and going back to the previos version untill its fixed.

I went to http://www.apktops.com/ and downloaded v1.8.1, then I placed the apk into my phone via kies air, doesn't really matter in which folder. I went into application management, cleared data and cache (just to be safe), uninstalled facebook. Then I went to the folder where I placed the v1.8.1 apk, clicked on it, and installed it. I haven't received a pm yet, so I can't say yet if it did fix push notifications.
Still not working anymore.... I'm so mad at this....
I went back to 1.7.1...current versions are too buggy.
I tried everything, I
Cleared cache and data for Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Go Facebook Widget
Uninstalled those 3
Reinstalled Facebook only, different versions, v1.8.2, v1.8.1, v1.7.2. Tested with FB only, nothing
Reinstalled the latest Facebook Messenger, still nothing
Reinstalled the latest Go Facebook Widget, still nothing.
I'm out of ideas really...
PS: my mate with GS2 with official XILA2 (android 2.3.6) says that his galaxy's notifications are also dead, but he has them just fine on his Transformer tablet with honeycomb
Facebook app is pretty bad period tbh comparing it to the iphones . Sometimes randomly it would give me nasty wakelocks.
i heard ads are coming to it soon :-/ lol
looks like an iphone but powered by android!!!
Noone else has any idea about how to fix these?....

http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/how-to-enable-push-notifications-in.html
I just uninstalled it all together. will try an older apk.
I must say I got push notifications to work by logging into my facebook on my mums blackberry then logging off. Maybe thats whay I still get the notifications? Wish I could help mate but if you know someone with a blackberry then try the idea posted above
Yes I did that trick with the blackberry emulator like 4 months, ago, and it worked just fine till the last update. I've since tried to revert to an older facebook apk, and redo the blackberry simulator trick, but they still won't get back on
So...refresh interval slould be "never" and notifications "on", ok?
That's my options in facebook aplication. I deleted app data in setting, but still no push working.
If anybody have a solution, please help.
Thank you...

Facebook Authentication Fail

After taking the ICS update, I've been having some issues with a "facebook authentication fail" error daily. Has anybody else had this problem? It might be another sign to give up on Facebook...google+ works perfectly.
I'm running Nilsp BGS and I get that error also but only about once a week.

I had that issue too after flashing nils rom but not with anything else before. I was on various ics roms. Thought it was because of the ad block script so reflashed, disabled it and haven't had it since.

I've been having this problem daily as of late, been on cleanrom 4.5 for months but this just started happening a couple weeks ago. Bump for a solution...
Yep, having the same problem on stock and locked Rezound, It's effing annoying!
hmmm.. i've been having somewhat of a similar issue as well. whenever i try and share a photo to facebook, it says you must sign in first (which i already am in the android app) so it takes me to what looks like the app but it just STAYYYSSS on the facebook app bootup logo forrrrrrrEEEVVVVVVEEEEER! idk what to do.
Running Viper Rom sense 4.0
go to Settings > Apps > All > Facebook > remove Updates, I was having the issue too and read on another forum to just remove the updates

This will do it. Funny that it worked fine for ICS for so long until they updated a couple weeks ago. FB needs to hire our devs to make their apps.
I'm having this issue too. Will try clearing data and updating again.

FWIW, also encountering on an Arnova 10 G2 tablet. I don't think it's ROM-specific or device specific. It's a problem with the app.
It is certainly and issue with ICS as I have seen on other phone forums that this issue is there...
The last known version of Facebook that works is version 1.8.4 which you can find here on xda... Just search...
The version that sits on the phone after un-installing the updates is 1.8.1

Facebook's app is simply terrible. I bought FriendCaster Pro but even it doesn't display everything in my news feed for some reason.
Lately I've just been using the mobile site. Make a shortcut to it and it "feels" like an app
Actually, its a conflict between the latest official Facebook App and HTCs Sense Facebook App.
Basically, use the old version of Facebook or freeze/remove the Sense FB app. I removed the HTC version and haven't seen any differences in functionality or features.

Thats what I thought too until I removed htc facebook from my ROMs. Now if I install facebook from the market it does the same thing. So I don't think its caused by htc's facebook. I solved it by just not installing facebook but that solution only works for me.
Perhaps its also the HTC FB chat then. I removed both at the same time because I never use chat.
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many people with the same problem. #FacebookSucks

Mine did that also and when I logged in again i had to set my sync options again. On the last time i told it not to sync and it has not done it since.

This "seems" to have fixed the problem for me. But I am now anticipating it to stop working since I said that :laugh:

About to give up on the EVO LTE... which ROM(s) fix the stock mail app?

I'm a HEAVY E-mail user with one Exchange account, two IMAP accounts and two GMail accounts synced to my phone. I'm running the latest version of MeanROM which I mostly enjoy but the stock mail.apk applet has been completely overlooked. I'm convinced very few users maintain EAS accounts or bother with the stock app but it's pretty key to me.
It doesn't appear the 1.22.651.3 base or Sense 4.1 did anything to address the oversized font/zoom issue with the stock mail app nor did it fix the "Display Images" button on every message with HTML content. It also broke the ability to display links but that's a different issue altogether.
Which ROMs have addressed the stock mail applet or am I stuck with +20pt fonts on an otherwise gorgeous display?
I know CM10's default email fixes the issue (and bonus--you can flip through your emails without going back to your inbox). Of course, it also forces you to input your pin every time you want to use the phone, but that's a minor bug.
Links inside of emails NEVER worked for me on this phone, even when it was bone stock.
Clickable links in an email (and text messages) on a mobile device is patented by Apple and that may be the reason why they're not working in the stock mail app.
I can't speak with authority, but non-clickable links in email may be an intentional move by HTC to avoid getting sued.

I thought the meanrom had this fix??? I've never had any issues on mine. Then again, I run the stock w/goodies rom; 1.78 to be exact. I've had nothing but good luck with my email; even with meanrom.
Mikey just put up MeanRom 3.8 and I think he might have fixed these issues. Download it and try it.

Or use K-9 email because it's amazing and by far the best email app in existence.

Thanks for the notice-- I tried it and found no difference to mail. Links are still disabled in plain-text formatted E-mails and the too-large font issue remains. IMAP accounts don't auto-sync either.

I feel your pain.
Unfortunately you might just have to go with CM10, if this is you use Mail on your phone this much. The one feature lacking from the CM10 version is the inability to set an update schedule. But everything else is at least comparable.
And, just like with the Sense version, there is a version that bypasses Exchange security so you don't have to use a PIN to unlock your phone every time.
+1 on CM10
Thanks for the responses. I'm surprised few ROMs seem to address this. I'm going to try Stock w/ Goodies or CM10 next... Are there any glaring issues to look out for?

Have you used K9 mail? The logo is stupid but the app is amazing. It always is on top of "best email app" lists. Give that a shot before changing ROMs just for the sake of the email app.

I thought about K-9 but that was back when it still had the Gingerbread UI. I still do.t think I should have to maintain a third party app for basic functionality that HTC borked from the factory.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? Or will I just need to find a new mail app?

[Q] Email App - Folder Notifications

I read that KitKat on Sony brought enhancements to Sony's stock email client.
Can anyone confirm if, using exchange, emails that get pushed directly to folders will trigger a notification yet? This was a big flaw in the past that none of the other manufacturers had and a main reason I didn't stick with the Z1.
At work, I have about 45 folders. Most emails I get automatically go to their pre-designated folders via Exchange rules. With Sony, I'd never get notification of a new email not going to the inbox, thus making the phone useless for me.
Any insight would be of great value!
Im quite sure it does, i have all of my folders from my gmail account
I dont know if the emails will show up like they are supose to with "pre-designation"

Dont think it does and most of the inbuilt clients doesnt support notifications to folders (that are setup by MS Exchange rules). Hence I resorted to using TouchDown or Moxier Mail. Both supports this and works really good!

Nope, got mine on thursday (Sweden) doesn't work. I have meanwhile "worked around" the issue buying thirdparty software like touchdown HD from googleplay. That will do for now. Still embarrassing that Sony can't fix this.
Im having the same problem. It sucks that Sony can't fix this.
