Running ef02 stock and was wondering what we should freeze in bloat freezer after the jump update.

Both of the DRM services (just look for DRM) and system updates (after you've done any manual updates you're wanting). These tend to kill battery a bit quicker.

Anything you don't use, and then some.... I delete dozens of apps I don't use
ie live wallpapers, live wallpaper picker, gmail (I use yahoo), gtalk, email (I use touchdown), media hub, samsung apps, .....
Anything SNS if you don't use it, along with the aforementioned DRM and updates.

Most common example:
Facebook contacts merge from the app into your phone contacts as an SNS account.
Social Networking Service

This happens to me on 4G as well. There are times I send e-mails from it and people never receive them and there are times I never get them. Then sometimes it works perfect. I switched to a 3rd party e-mail app. It never fails me. I am using Kaiten but its a paid app. Try K9 on the Market. You can make it black themed and it works well for many.

I had this prob few days back, I turned syncing off, then back on. I then reboot the phone and bam! It started working again.
P.S. Under Applications>All. I also cleared data/cache.

Settings->Accounts and Sync. On apps, select All, and choose Gmail, clear cache and data on that one.

I have lost some faith in G-Mail. I don't understand why I can get a 3rd party app like K9, add my G-Mail account to that, and people receive the e-mails faster than using G-Mail itself. If someone can explain why this is, I would appreciate it.

I think it depends on many factors, we all have different apps, different roms, kernels, and also different qualiies of reception.

Can you be a bit more clear? I'm understanding bits and pieces... what I explained over clearing the cache was your answer to your question previous to your last post.

Hello guys!
I am actually one of the few that enjoys Samsung's SNS thingy - I open up a contact and see their Facebook status and whatnot.
I also change ROMs often, and I end up reinstalling or restoring all the SNS components, which forces me to re-join contacts, manually delete duplicate birthdays and whatnot.
Is there a replacement you know of? I mean, an independent contacts app which syncs to Google and Facebook (and possibly Twitter, LinkedIn) and does the contact management externally? That way, whenever I install a new ROM, I will just restore this app and have my contacts as they should.
Any help would be appreciated!

I tried googling it but didn't find any. Can you post the market link?
I am trying to replace the stock contact app altogether - it may sync with Google, but I want it to be rom-independent. Like Dolphin to browsers and GoSMS to messages.
Have a look at this:

It doesn't help, and I even bought it...
No solutions, eh?...
contacts by contapps ltd (search contapps) in the market.
SmartR contacts beta by Xobni in the market.

Tried them both. They both don't help as they just display the existing contacts - so I am still required to use Samsung's SNS to sync the Facebook data. My point is to stop using SNS but remain with the same functionality.
I'm giving up
Probably forfeit the need to use the SNS features.
What apps are you removing after rooting? I want to get rid of as much possibl
Use Titanium Backup and freeze them, don't delete.

If you know which you can delete that are not needed by the system or other apps that you use then go ahead and delete. Otherwise, freeze them until you know you do not need them.

What I did which was recommended on this site was purchase absolute system. With that program I back up my apps before deleting them. Il give ya a list but I plan to delete more, just want to run with what ive deleted so far for a few days to make sure theres no issues. So far I have zero issues and love my phone even more now. So far what ive deleted is....

I will post a rooted stock rom tomorrow that has most if not all crap removed. You can flash it right over your current setup without wiping.

Because they know when you have over 500 million people that no matter how bad your app is they will still come back to the site.
I have stopped using the app. It drives me crazy. I use friendcaster and website. The app is so slugish and acts stupid around 99% of the time.

Faster facebook. Goggle it on the play store
Lol I don't like Facebook enough to get a dedicated app for it. From what I have seen though, their mobile site is really poorly designed like they are trying to force you to use one their app. I assume Friendcaster is much better than the official app.
Don't forget that the latest update also added FB camera and FB messenger apps. At least mine did. Now I have 3 FB apps. WEAK.

Yeah they changes the name on the market. I believe it is called "fast for android"
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Yeah, I've deleted the Fb app too--don't like the increasing bloat and I'm really annoyed by the their spammed camera and messaging apps. Tried Fast for Facebook, and as much as I'd like to support their xda-friendly devs, it doesn't seem to update all that well or display photos and such.
OTOH, the mobile web app, it seems to do what I need without bloating up my phone. For a light Fb users, it does the job.
Yep... Agreed. I absolutely hate the facebook app.

That was the last straw for me, uninstalled it. They've removed the extra launcher icons now, but the app is still terrible.
A lot of times it will turn on my GPS when I enter the app, and never let go of it.
It's terrible cause it's Facebook. I hope my boss doesn't read this

The facebook app comes pre-installed on the Sony Xperia Ion. It also has some kind of system wide integration. I happen to use facebook and figured I'd give it all a try. Timescape is part of that integration with a fancy widget and takes up half a homescreen. My battery life hasn't been that great (10 hours in a 8 hour work day where I barely use my phone at work) and most distressing the phone was getting hot. Too hot to handle comfortably. Especially while charging. After many attempts through setting management and battery managers (which I've always felt we're unnecessary if the settings were customized for battery life) I found the problem. The facebook app itself. Not sure what version but it was the latest for this phone at this time. Not only does my phone now run cool as a cucumber, I expect much better battery life. Oh, and my phone's CPU no longer runs pegged most of the time like it was. So there it is. A tip for anybody finding their new Ion to be running warm/hot and draining battery at a quick rate. Remove the facebook account and use a browser instead. The current facebook integration is problematic on these phones.
OK I try thk....

Can you please give more detail about what you did? I don't usually get such a low battery time, but today that I was in a LTE area for most of the time the battery went down a lot faster than usual. Did you just remove Timescape from home screen and set it not to sync automatically, or you also had to remove your facebook account from Facebook inside Xperia?
I removed the account. The app itself is un-installable. I don't log into it either. I use the browser and set up notifications through sms.

I delete the account. But we can not delete the app while the phone is not rooted but greatly improved the battery and not heated as before

That helps greatly. Facebook was wiggin out for me through app and browsers, wtf??? This better be corrected with an update soon, not cool. I deleted the account so now it seems to be ok through stock browser & Dolphin. This is a huge unacceptable bug far as Im concerned. Especially when the damn app and integration come imbedded stock. FIX IT SONY. eb
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium
Mainly the "Facebook" integration has to do with Timescape, notification & sharing. I myself won't be using the app w account integration until it's fixed.
Perhaps we could fix this ourselves if they would let us. Cant wait until we root this damn thing, very frustrating. eb
