General Android-ness

[m-in-m]

My Facebook app news feed has stopped working. Don't know why.

EDIT: Ah. There is an update. Installed and working now.

Stupid question but where did you find this update?

It's in the Market, though I don't know why the app doesn't indicate an available update like the others do. It's Facebook for Android and when you download it, it will indicate that your existing app will update and your user settings kept.

Thanks - downloading it now.

Apparently the T-Mobile 2.2 update has been withdrawn because they were sending out the German version!

Not that it makes a lot of difference apart from a couple of odd small apps and the logo on bootup is the wrong colour. A bit of a cock-up but nothing major

2.2 now available from O2. Installed fine on my phone, took about 20 mins.

Guten tag!

Was fine on my phone but other half's was stuck in an HTC Sense force close loop. Two hours of trying to fix later and we eventually installed the APK of Launcherpro via HTC Sync and were able to access settings that way. Needed to clear all HTC Sense data to clear the problem.

Yay I now have 2.2 on my O2 work phone and also now see that the latest stock we have had delivered at work already has 2.2.

Listened to a podcast today for the first time since upgrading to 2.2 and was pleasantly surprised by a sustantial boost in volume! I'm normally struggling to hear spoken word over traffic noise when I'm walking along-side roads, but it certainly was crystal clear today.

If anyone signed up for the Orange and T-Mobile network sharing, mentioned back on page 10, but hasn't heard from their network as yet, you need to go and sign up again, using the updated pages and then the do the "text back yes" business that they've added on to the method of applying.

Yes, I applied a while back but got an e-mail about it and had to sign up again. Seems they're being very careful about their customers turning on the data roaming so they can send picture messages on Orange and then racking up huge bills next time they go abroad!

It seems to work pretty well, I managed to get full bars at work which was unthinkable before. I'm not sure if it was a first time thing but it did seem as thought I had to take it out of any reception first before it would lock onto the stronger Orange signal. It includes 2G data too, which the reports weeks ago said it wouldn't.

I'll be interested to see how it goes, I can't see a way of telling whether I'm on an Orange signal or a T-Mobile on my Desire - the network name on the lock screen doesn't change and I've tried the test menu, the Antennas app and the network status screen in settings.

Yes I got my sim update "turn your phone off and on again" texts this morning and since then its logged onto "Orange T-Mobile" rather than Orange.

Haven't noticed any major difference yet although there is still no reception in the basement at uni. Will be intersting to see if reception improves at home and at work.

I've just noticed that one way of telling whether you're on T or Orange is that Orange uses EDGE so you get an 'E' rather than a 'G' in the data status of the phone.
Even when I manually switch to Orange I get no other changes
