Want to get rid of Facebook from your Xperia X? - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I'm no fan of Facebook at all, to be honest I hate it thanks to all privacy matters mr Zuckerberg inficts upon us, and as you all know Facebook comes preinstalled on your device. In general these kind of applications are hard to remove from your device. I found a way to remove Facebook from my device and, after all, it's pretty simple.
Download and use File Commander from the app store, start the app and go to internal storage. Type in the search box Facebook and delete all the results File Commander finds. When you go then to Playstore, you will see that Facebook is disabled , but after this action, Facebook does not show up anymore when you press the apps button on your homescreen. This will also save your battery, cause Facebook is always running in the background. Hope this helps,
kindest regards, kuzibri

Or... you can just disable it in Settings.

You're entirely right, but disabling is something else than completely removing the app. Even after disabling it, it still uses your battery, also it will still appear in the list when you press the app button on your homescreen. On my device it's gone and checking battery usage by FB tells me that it did not use the battery after removal. Furthermore, removing FB also removed FB App manager and FB update manager.

Here is what i have after disabling FB app in Settings.
<Screenshot below>
According to what i know since JellyBean, system apps (FB in this case) are located in either /system/app or /system/priv-app, which is not accessible by File Commander by default. Only by deleting FB's APK and data files (which cannot be done without root) can it be removed from your system.
And you cannot install a modded FB either way.

Disabling is something Google put just purposely for this effect.
It removes from the homescreen. And it will not show up in your battery.
Perhaps you have confused it with "Force Stop".

Disable Facebook and all system apps containing name facebook and that's it.

Hi guys,
thanks for all your responses and advices. I can only speak for myself, but FB is indeed entirely removed from my device. How do I know that? Connected my device to my laptop, started My PC and went to the internal storage of the X1. On my PC I enabled "show hidden items" and I was able to see all maps on my device. Opened every map in order to see if there were any FB related files, etc, but found nothing. Then I selected Internal Storage and typed in the search box for Facebook and related items and there were no results at all. Also, since I removed FB, it saves me on a daily basis 8% to 10% of battery drainage. Now I'm able to use my X1 three days without charging instead of two.
This means also that you can remove FB from you device via your Laptop by enabling show hidden items.
kindest regards, kuzibri

You just removed Facebook data in /sdcard/Android/data folder, but the app himself is still there, under / and without root You can't remove anything from there.

Root using towel root then uninstal and unroot ur device

Using file commander searching for 'Facebook' only a ringtone file appears ! As you imply I want to remove every Facebook reference on my phone. I used the 'Clear Data' option within Facebook & freed over 27Mb of space. Now I want to free the remaining 28Mb being used (presumably by the software). It sounds like that is what you achieved, so I'm interested in duplicating this on my phone (with more success than I managed). Please advise (thanks).

[HELP] Trying to find a solution to apps running in background. Any way to stop them?

First of all, I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BILLIONS OF TIMES, SO BEFORE YOU REPLY WITH "Search the forums" READ THIS.
I have been looking for WEEKS trying to find an answer to this,and no answer given on any forums are what I am looking for.
I have an android phone (sidekick 4g) and there are apps that run in the background when not necessary. Now I know some stuff need to be aways running for the phone to function. But I also know that apps like Facebook, Market, Gmail, T-mobile's Media Store, MyYearBook, Maps, Aptoide, etc don't. When I force close them, they just start up a few seconds later. I've tried task killers and got the same result. I've read the "Why you shouldn't use a task killer" articles but everyone keeps saying different things about it so I'm confused.
Like many others, I want my battery to last at least half way through the day. The above mentioned apps (and some others) DRAIN THE BATTERY WHEN RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN I DON'T WANT THEM TO.
Please does anyone know of a way to fix this?
My phone is rooted, if that matters.
Also, "freezing" the apps don't help cause then I can't use them when I actually want to.
Thank you very much in advance anyone who can help me out!

Applications running, doesn't mean cpu cycles are being used. Sitting in memory is no different then a song sitting on your sdcard. Your issue with the battery has to do with processes using cpu cycles. If you have applications that update, force updates manually.
Just having apps in memory isn't your issue.
Use the features built into the os, find out what apps are causing the problem. Look at the settings. If you have looked at your settings, then you have one of three choices. Open bugreports with the application developers, don't install the apps causing problems, or upgrade your phone.

Thank you that makes sense.
I would think those apps would use battery because it pushes notifications for the app (like new messages and stuff). Does that not use battery?

It does use battery because to process the notification it needs to use the cpu. If you force applications to update manually. Your batter would be better. Check into battery saving tuts. All that information has already been discussed plenty. Won't change in this scenario either.
The more apps you have updating information the more data and notifications are being processed.

Also, I have another problem, if you know anything about this kinda stuff. The Facebook app icon just (like 10 minutes ago) disappeared from my home screen, and it's not in the app drawer either. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still having the problem. I can only open it by manually searching "facebook" in the google search widget and that's when it gives me the option to open the app. It's really bizzare and I have no idea what's going on.

Sounds like a issue with the rom or launcher. Try installing another launcher from the market and see if the application is installed. If its there with another launcher then its your stock launcher, if its not then its the rom.

[Q] Cannot Download Files/Attachment

Hi,
Recently my rooted NT (1.4.2) does not "download (save)" files or attachments from either browser or emails anymore. With email attachments (on gmail app), there are still two options "Download" and "Preview". However, both open to a list of programs to open the file but no option to actually save the attachment. Download option used to prompt for filename to save.
Can someone please tell me how I can reactivate the "download / save" option so that it works properly?
Since the problem exists both in browser (Dolphin HD) and in email (gmail app), I think it is an issue with a general setting rather than an individual app setting.
I did install and un-install a couple of "printing" apps (Samsung MobilePrint and Cloud Print, which did not work for me) recently. Don't know if they caused the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help on this.

Yes - they most likely did. You have the 'smoking gun'.
Since the NT is a 'locked down' os, not meant to do things, and the 'side loaded' apps broke into that... if you wish to save/keep the os, my thoughts are you need to visit B&N and get it re-loaded. There are other options.

[Q] Ace increasingly getting slow

My GT-S5830i is increasingly getting slower and slower.
Andriod: 2.3.6
Kernal Ver: 2.6.35.7
Build: Gingerbread xxmd1
Various apps running 195MB used - 32MB Free
The 3 major app memory usage, Facebook @33MB, Weather Channel @16MB, Android Antivirus @24MB
The rest as far as I know are standard Android system apps, the only duplicate app I can see are 2 Google maps each @5MB. I have tried un-installing one or other, but they restart themselves.
Any tips of improving access speeds to various common apps, such as txts and phone contacts etc to dial. Also photo's which are all stored on a SD card as are all videos, sounds and etc.
thanks

See don't use Facebook app it slows down our phone go for another one
And delete those system app's which you don't use for more detail (how to )follow these Guide
By doing these it will free up some Memory .
thanks,
visited the link and looked at all apps on my phone to compare..
i have uninstalled the Facebook app and added a shortcut instead. For all the green apk's to be deleted, although listed and most are not used. Cannot delete any, only clear data or force stop. Yet when looking down the app list, some have restarted such as 'maps' and 'email'.

Do as @Envy-X told
First Root your Ace and then Delete those unwanted system apps by any Root Browser
It will delete that app permanently.
OK
What else could I gain by Rooting my phone.

http://gizmodo.com/5982287/reasons-to-root-your-android-device
But essentially, you get to run the root apps and their specific features

[Q] Control processes without root

I would like to have the maximum of control on running processes, but I feel I have not enough control, so I hope you can help me
I know that being root, managing processes and disable "autoruns" is a quite easy task but unfortunately my device is not an easy to root phone
Furthermore, I saw that Android (4.1.2 Jelly Bean) performance is very bad when you have many apps installed or you used many apps recently. Yes I listen about the internal management and I am aware that it is not a suggested practice but since I want to have control on what is happening and i have serious concerns about the algorithms to free RAM (maybe bull****), so I prefer to do it on my own risk
What I am doing is go to
-Settings, Application manager, Running, "Show cached processes"
- Settings, Application manager, Running, "Show services in use"
Identify what apps are in use and i don't like, then go to
-Settings, Application manager, All,
select app and Click "Force Stop"
Doing it my device has a better performance however, some apps still going alive after some time, for instance: Email ( I saw other in the past)
Using "Autoruns" app and checking "email" app I can see with changes of state can start "Email" however, sometime "email" is reenabled after be manually stopped but none of previous conditions happened.
How can I kill "email" or other app and force to stay off? (disable it and install other email app is not a valid answer)
I would like to use email/others as an standalone app, I mean use when I want and have out of memory when I am not using.
Besides, the autoruns, is there any scheduled task or something like that to open apps?
Of course I want to root my phone and I am waiting until someone will find a proper way to root, in fact I think that an android without rooted is like a car with square shape wheels
I think I found the cause for "mail" app being executed automatically, today it went alive after select "flight mode"
Now I would like to control Google play services, I am seeing some of these being executed continuosly, can they be killed? how?

more info about processes, mem and autostart
I am still fighting with Android and how it manages processes, now I am sure that my main problem became each time I went into flight mode or it is restarted.
But it is not only Email being executed and being using in memory but other processes that I am not using doing that, such as:
(Mem. on OS monitor- Mem. in "service in memory"(android settings))
Event: Connectivity changed
-youtube 22.2MB-6.2MB
-Google play services(com.android.gms) 26.8MB-12MB
-Maps 20MB-4.9MB
-Factory Test (18.6MB -3.4MB)
Event: after Startup
-youtube 22.2MB-6.2MB
-Software update (18.0MB-4.3MB)
-Internet (com.android.browser) 18.9MB-3.3MB
There many apps which are executed after events like previous but they are closed after a very short time, but I am frustrated about those which are not unloaded.
Regarding "Email" app I decided to use a free email app and as Email cannot be disabled, so, I removed the accounts associated to email app, however even without accounts configured, it still being launched and wasting resources. can I avoid it?
What do you think?

It's not possible to do what you want without root, unfortunately (unless you're talking about normal apps, in which case you can uninstall them to keep them from running). An alternative would be to use Greenify, though it won't be fully automatic without root either.
What about editing the startups rights?
Has anyone used APK permission remover?

Apk permission remover never stops an app from automatically starting. It only helps in removing the permissions we see during installation.

Facebook messenger issues

Hey ever body I'm not sure if anyone else is having the problems I'm having with Facebook messenger but I've tried clearing the cache memory, uninstalling re-installing and nothing helps I actually have the same problem with my PC . When I go to send a message it has taken as much as an hour to send sometimes it doesn't send at all and I've googled my butt off to no avail. I'm hoping someone here has an answer as to how to fix it my S8 is still on 7.0 and it's a Sprint phone if you have any ideas you can either post them here or email me at [email protected] admins sorry if I'm putting in the wrong section
Thanks in advance,

Try these
1st
Settings: Applications: 3 Dots in right corner: Special Access: Optimize Battery Usage: Change view to all apps: Then turn off anything Facebook related.
2nd
Remove accounts and re-sign in
3rd
Verify Sync is enabled and data isn't restricted for those apps
4th
Make sure data saver isn't enabled within Facebook or Messenger app settings
There could be a ton of reasons for this though. If non of the above resolves then most likely it's either carrier data/service related or FB servers. If none of this resolves and it continues much longer I'd suggest opening a support ticket with Facebook as they could get a better idea of what is causing the delay.
O and having multiple active locations signed in can cause you to miss out on notifications and even have delays in sending/receiving messages.

Closing apps isn't a problem nor would cache/data. It would be settings related, account related, or some mixture of both.
FB says to first try removing accounts, wipe data/cache, remove apps (FB & Messenger), then start over. The article was done back in KitKat days but that is the best way to start in narrowing down the "why" aspect.
The article that follows that points to VPN and ad blocking as a potential culprit but I would think that's unlikely in your case.
FB services app including update manager came preinstalled on S7/S7 Edge in which I once had your same issue for a week but using package disabler I wiped those, uninstalled app (FB & Messenger), rebooted, followed by installing again. Fixed the issue and until now hadn't thought of it.

So you are unable to remove Facebook or Messenger accounts?
Settings:Cloud and accounts:Accounts:Facebook:3dot in top right corner:Remove.
Did you try the lite version of the messenger?
