Hide last activity? - About xda-developers.com

How do I hide my last activity on my profile page?
I enabled invisible mode but it still displays my last activity, although some users don't have this info displayed...

I can't see your last active date, so I guess it always shows it to you, but not everyone else.
Try viewing your profile whilst logged out (if that's possible).

Anyone with SMS time stamp showing wrong?

For example: Someone sent me a message at 5:00pm, but Desire time stamp says that message is sent at 6:00pm, or sometimes it would say 7:00pm...
How to fix that? Date and time on my desire is configured correctly...

what time did u receive it ? at 5 ?
Yep, at the same time when it was sent...
I've just made some tests, apparently it's only affecting some networks. Is it possible that network message server is set to wrong time?

Can't find it too . But, as I recall, my girlfriend had that option turned on, and I wasn't able to reply her because she was on other provider.
I've goggled that problem, and apparently it's showing a lot on WM devices...and they have some sort of fix...
I have the same Problem here. receive messages are never correct
had the same problem before..my sms conversation thread not showing the correct reply & response chronologically..what i did was to disable the AUTOMATIC (use network-provided values) under SETTINGS-DATE & TIME..also switched to Handcent app to manage my SMS..now it's displaying correctly
there is no solution for it.
I just got a used P1i about a week ago and noticed the SMS timing problem right away. What I did to solve the problem was to set my home zone to Vancouver( i live in vancouver and currently on Fido network), zone of interest to Reykjavik and finally set the current time zone to Buenos Aires. Once everything is set, then i manually adjust the time and date to Vancouver time.
My phone works fine for me now. Hope this will help you too.
cheers
download handcent from the market, it's a better messaging app than the stock one and it also fixes the timestamp issue
and best of all, its free! =)
There's an application on the Market called "SMS Time Fix" that automatically catches any incoming SMS and lets you apply a time offset to fix that... if anyone's still looking for a solution.

facebook for android app | push notifications "fixed"

Hi all,
Sorry if this is old news - but its new to me!
Whilst doing some random googling i stumbled accross another forum where a chap had posted a "fix" he had found regarding the lack of push facebook notifications with the official face book app.
Up untill now it has been the one feature for me that has really let android and my phone down.
I am not sure of the rules on posting link to other forums so I will not do that, though I will run throught the basics below.
This worked for me as well as many others on the other forum. Notifications are instant and I have the polling set to never in the FB app.
You need either a blackberry phone, or to download a blackberry phone simulator to make this work.
1) log out of the FB app on your phone
2)from home screen goto settings, applications, manage applications, facebook and clear data and cache
3)log into your facebook account on a blackberry phone and enable notifications on it. Then log out
4) log into facebook on your PC, goto Account settings (click on down arrow next to "home")
5) click on "notifications on the left hand side"
6) scroll down towards bottom of page and click on "other applications" - click on this, you should now have "facebook for blackberry smart phones" - make sure there is a toick next to this
7) log back into the FB app on your galaxy
8) go into setup, uncheck notifications, then recheck notifications
9) set refresh interval to never
10) that should be it
This honestly works 100% for me and other on the other forum. The notifications are instant and it even shows different icon in your notification bar for different types of post (ie wall post or message)
I am running CM7.1 and FB 1.7.2
This seems to work on a wide range of handsets/android platforms.
I dont know how this works. One suggestion is the permission/software the blackberry enables on the FB server is generic for mobile devices and that it is somehow "mising" from the FB app,
All i know is it works for me,
I take no credit or responsibility for this,
I hope this helps somepeople out as it was driving me nuts!
again my thanks to the original poster on the other forum
regards,
anthony
off topic but, i never installed the app because it requires practically every permission in existence, really don't trust it, knowing facebook's privacy issues
fair enough,
but the one thing that has always ruined its usability is the lack (or poor at best) notifications.
untill now anyway (for me at least)
regards
This worked for me for a while. However, I've stopped getting notifications again
forget the original facebook app, use friendcaster

I found friend caster just as bad to be honest,
is facebook really that hard to write a good app for ?

Did it stop working after an update for FB?
Try this login to your FB account and go to "Account Settings". On the left hand side click "Notifications". Scroll down and you should see one near the bottom that says, "Other Applications". Click that and in there you should see "Facebook for BlackBerry® smartphones" If there is a check mark in the box, then un-check and hit save. Then re-check the box and hit save again. You're done and the notifications will start working again. If there is no check mark then add it and click save. Viola FB notifications should be working again.

PMs turned off for some ?

Can users turn off accepting of PMs ? I sent a PM to a developer maybe a week ago. When I looked at my sent items, it doesn't show up. Then I imagined I backed out without hitting the right button, maybe I didn't it from my phone and something glitched, etc, etc. So today, I sent a 2nd one. I'm 99% sure... Checked and it doesn't show up in sent again.
Finally, I sent a 3rd PM, subject "test", and it also doesn't appear.
Yes you can turn PMs off and alot of developers do do this due to hundreds of pointless pm's

A good way to test if they have disabled PMs is to click on their username and choose send PM. If they have chosen to block them, you'll receive a message stating this.
And you also need to enable a setting allowing sent pms to be saved (in User CP)

That's what I'd expect if someone has blocked or turned them off. That's any person's right to do so, of course ! I would hope the system would let a sender know too...

I've never had to enable a 'save sent PMs' option on any vB site. If it's an option, I presume it's already on by default.
I have plenty of sent PMs currently too, so unless it was turned off since the last ones I sent previously, it should be okay.

[Q] How do you disable/remove AT&T Address Book?

Every time I open my address book (or at least the first time after a reboot) I get this AT&T address book verifying subscriber status popup that takes a while to complete. I have no interest in ever using that service so how can I disable the check and just stop using it at all?
I'm guessing that the answer might be root and remove bloatware but I'm hoping there's a way to just turn it off without rooting. Don't worry I'll be rooting sooner than later but for now I'd like to just get rid of that annoying delay.
I havent got my phone yet, should have it within the next 3 hours, but have you looked through the settings, and opened up the AT&T address book app and checked the settings within that app itself?
Yeah. Not seeing any settings for it or actually any AT&T Address Book App at all.
Yeah i finally got mine a few hours ago, but i dont see any options to disable it either.
I'm guessing this will be one of those annoyances that only root can salve.
Not sure about the s3 but on skyrocket I checked out the programs.. scrolled down to sync and disabled..
Rebooted and never got the error again.

Where exactly did you "check out the programs.. scroll down to sync and disable"?
I don't see anything about AT&T address book anywhere.
I have the same issue. Every so often when I go into my phonebook I have to wait for it to check the AT&T Address Book. So now there is a huge lag to access my contacts.
Why do carriers think they should be mobile phone designers? I wish they'd just leave the designing to the people who are good at it.
Over 10 years of buying my own phones out of contract for a reason. I've only had the phone for a few hours. I wonder what other lame surprises await....
Ok, I seemed to have fixed it. Not sure which action it was because I was just doing everything I could to make it stop.
First thing I did was to turn off AT&T phonebook in my online account. Log into www.attwireless.com. Under MyAT&T tab, mouse over "Wireless" and select "Usage & Recent Activity". Scroll down to "Members Shared Usage" and click on "view details of the number you're working on. Scroll down to "Minute Detail" and right under that is "Phonebook" with the option to turn it on or off.
At the same time I was doing a lot of flailing around in the the phone. I was Settings page in Contacts and I deleted all the AT&T BS contacts it auto inserted into the phone.
I rebooted and it stopped trying to access that AT&T phonebook. Hope this helps.
1. system setting
2. app manager
3. click on the phone book
4. force stop
Now it will stop and the icon will be removed from the app list. You can do this for all of the apps that will not uninstall till we get root.

In step 3 when you say "the phone book" do you mean the app called Contacts that has an icon that looks like a phone book? When I disable that app my phone dialer icon disappeared making it so I couldn't dial out. Had to re-enable it.
Otherwise, I dont have an app named Phone Book.

No.
My AT&T and YP.
I was trying to disable the AT&T Address Book as well. I found out you disable AT&T Messages. Works like a charm.

I can confirm this method mentioned by Phoenyx worked. For me at least. No more AT&T Addressbook confirmation dialog when I go to Contacts. :good:

Yes, I just tried this as well instead of what I posted earlier and it also worked. I didn't know there was a phonebook option in my online AT&T account.

I just turned off the AT&T phonebook as you described and the pop-up goes away. Didn't need to do anything else.
Thanks!

Hi I just got my phone the same thing happened. I let it load (the second time it happened the first time I hit cancel). I got a page that was basically an ad for att's backup service, I scolled down to the bottom and clicked on close (or whatever the button did say). Now when I start contacts no more "checking subscriber status etc".
I have not rebooted yet but will and if it comes back I'll post, if it doesn't then at least on my Galaxy SIII it was a one time event.

Samsung Pass login popup on every XDA page

Not sure if this is a Samsung bug or an XDA bug, but I get a popup from Samsung Pass on every page asking for my fingerprint to login. I am logged in, as evidenced by the dark theme associated with my account and the fact I'm posting this. Although up top in the right it doesn't show my profile pic, which makes me think maybe it's an XDA issue...
Definitely an XDA issue, something changed today and now it keeps logging me in every page I visit using the 2015 theme, I disabled auto login with Lastpass and it has stopped doing it, but seems the forums are requesting a login each page
