Same here, I use JJ's ROM and no problems so far. It runs very smoothly, some minor 1-2 seconds lags when opening dialler for 1st time since few hours of inactivity, but apart from that all is working like a charm!!

i tried JJ again, this time facebook WAS NOT working properly... i dont know what i did different this time :S

Same problem here. No link to pictures, infos, etc in profile pages.

i'm having this problem too... :/
i am now using "fast for facebook" - not beautiful, but it works for the moment until the problem with the official app is solved.

people who have this problem, do you also have google+ app installed on your phone?

Nope

with cyanogenmod my facebook is working as it should.
but not with arconium...
so i think it is rom-related.

Facebook is working fine for me on Stock 4.0.4.
Roland

not working properly here... I can see everything but after a minute on it my whole phone is unresponsive, and when I tap the notification, the list appear in the middle of the screen and not on the top.. I have ICS rooter with official version.

i flashed the stock ROM again, it was working fine at first, but after 1 or 2 days, the problem came back...

Had the same problem with it on stock but after changing to FXP CM9 now it works just fine.

Any fix yet? This is seriously annoying...
Can we flash another facebook app or something?

Iam on arconium ics 4 , no cover photos, font is like 3x bigger and extremely slow

Facebook works fine for me when I use stock, now I switched to Arconium and it didnt work at all

Get a mirror - Skype video calling now runs on Desire

Update today
Yup. Tried it. Works great. U'll def need a mirror and an extra hand cos it gets tiring after a while.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
lol nice - I don't suppose anyone knows if it works on a xoom yet?
I'll be annoyed if it does as my other half wanted to skype to her friend but we had no camera other than the xoom and now I got a camera for her laptop as I couldn't convince them both to use googletalk
I bet Skype is still buggy though.

Yep. Major buggy. Couldn't get vid to work, mute and speaker buttons not working. Still have to sign in and out everytime otherwise it constantly runs (not a bug, I know, but a bloody big annoyance). Uninstalled to an earlier version.
i'd use gtalk if i had friends on gtalk... then again i have no friends on skype either
i'm still not big on the whole video chat to be honest anyway!
It's still got issues. Having to sign in and out all the time. Having to type password each time. Some online contacts don't show for ages. Getting missed calls without so much as a ring. But so far video was very good but as expected big drain on battery due to screen on(video) and skype seemingly running in background.
Overall I'm happier. Now where is that conversion kit to use the back camera as a front camera. What came of the OneMoreFace concept. We could do with something like that nowish.

tried it from my Desire (froyo) to an iPhone/skype.
I received the video from their end, but couldn't send out my video signal :-(
I'm on Reflex S and its no good, my video initializes but then as soon as call is answered, blank screen it just goes black, but I can still receive theirs....
Tried it today, didn't receive nor i could send my video.. Quite dissapointing, but fingers crossed they fix it soon.
Has anyone tried this on the stock 2.3. It didnt work for me.
I tried this on skype this morning managed to get it to work. Seems to look alright on the computer over Wifi. Havent tried over 3G yet. Audio quality does need improving though, but the video seemed alright, a bit slow but alright.
I can report that using InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.0.9, the new Skype version does not allow video for me.
I use instead the patched version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16323558&postcount=1028
version 0.6 based on the previous version.
seems to work really fine once you set the resolution to Force 320 X 240.
Cheers

it doesnt work for me either on IC 1.0.9
i think maybe cause its is an Ace S based rom (DHD i think ?)
Yup, I have Insertcoin 1.09 using latest v06 snq kernel and it seems not working.
works for me here with plain IC 1.0.9 and using v0.6 of the skype mod (not Kernel), but need to set the camera option to "force 320x240" otherwise it will not work.
Nice news, i will give it a try shortly
On my desire with CM7 new skype is not working properly. I can't send video.
Patched version mentioned by Biafolio is working on Cm7 Rc 7. 1 if black screen problem checked in advance settings. Thanks.

It worked for me either instead of version from the Market, but the phone unexpectedly rebooted two times. I guess it's some kind of a bug.
The most strange of all that I was not using the phone at that moment. Well I've uninstalled patched version and now I'm waiting for the next official release from the Market.

Question for Instagram users running CM9?

Hi there,
Ever since i've updated my Instagram, it won't let me upload any pictures at all and either gets my phone stuck or crashes every time. Want to know if any other P930 CM9 users are facing this issue or if there is any other fix around it?
Same here. Using the app for just browsing other photos seems to work but whenever I try to upload; it begins to stall and eventually crash. I tried cheating it by not using the filters and immediately uploading it but then it either crashes or takes forever to process and the photo ends up black or this strange black/matrix-y look.
I love the this RC, it's blazing fast compared to my stock gingerbread. With little to no problems since I've been testing it. Anyone know a work-around? Keep it up and thanks for the hard work.
p.s I'm using the P930 At&t Nitro HD.
That's exactly the same issue I have. From what I've read it might be an OpenGL issue... but I'm not going to pretend like I know what that means. Besides that, this RC is running so smoothly. Its awesome. Guess we'll just have to wait.

Neither the ICS leak nor CM9 will run the editing pane of Instagram. I've e-mailed the App developers, they said they will not touch an unofficial build. I've been through multiple updates for Instagram, none worked any better.
For what it's worth, it works in CM10 build 07/26 for me. Maybe you guys would like to update

I actually might try that, do you have any major problems using CM10? My only problems with CM9 is instagram and random speaker volume changes. (which can be deal breakers)
Well there are still some bugs in CM10 and a bunch of features haven't been forward-ported yet, but it's definitely coming along nicely. One bigger bug it has right now is video seems to intakill the OS and reboot after a few seconds.
Well, that was fast lol. Ricardo just put an update out that should fix video crashing. Man, that guy is awesome.
instagram doesn't work anymore with the latest nightly released 24-08-12.

Quick responses missing after JB update

Hey there,
I've searched both these forums and on the net, and almost nothing came up.
I'm running rooted stock JB right now (stock kernel as well).
I've noticed that every since i've update to JB, the quick responses option is missing!
When i receive a call, there is no icon/action for the swiping up.
The settings for the quick responses are still there and i can still change the messages, however i cannot use the feature...
Has anyone else experience it/found a fix?
I'm gonna flash to AOKP/CM/BAMF soon, so it's not critical, but still... very annoying!
p.s.
This is the only reference i found for it on the web:
androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/483105-galaxy-nexus-quick-responses-do-not-show-up.html
and it's pre-JB.
Quick responses works fine for me on AOKP JB.

Is there anyway to reinstall the phone app?

I'm replying with the very simple solution I've found incase anyone stuble upon this thread.
I've had the stock messaging app disabled, and that seemed to cause the problem...
So even if it's a "Phone" (as an app) feature, it relies on the built in messaging app, which makes a bit of sense

It's an ICS Rom, and an earlier one at that. Not sure when nit was last updated, but embedded videos were, or maybe still are an issues on ICS ROMs, if I remember correctly.
There's probably a fix by now, or a work-around.
Hopefully someone will pop in and hook you up
I will like to know also. That's why I'm stil on cm7. THERE IS NO OTHER ROM WORKING 100% than. Cm7

Gingerbread ROMs are the only ones that are fully functional, well Froyo, too, but......
