Issues with Google Maps and Facebook app

Postby cube » Thu Sep 08, 2011 2:47 am

Hey guys,

Last time I had a problem you guys were of great help so hopefully it'll be the same this time :) I've made a quick search and couldn't find the answers... sorry if this turns out to be a double post. I run the latest 2.3.3 stock update.

- First issue: Google Maps updates itself every time I turn my 3G on and go in the market. I went though the Maps' options, couldn't find anything to stop it. Went through the market options as well, and could only find notification options. Went through the phone's general options for applications, no luck there neither. I don't use my 3G that often, but with a 500mb limit, it's really annoying to see 8-10mb downloading every 2 days for google maps. Same issue with the Rogers Account app but that's a few kb so I don't really care. I tried "droidwall" but that didn't seem to work.

- Second issue: Facebook. I've installed everything from scratch - 2.3.3 and then all my apps again, including facebook. Then I started having this annoying reminder to sync my phone contacts with my facebook contacts, which I don't want to... so I disabled the sync. But the reminder kept popping all the time so I decided to erase the whole facebook app and use the browser (dolphin) whenever I wanna check it out. But... surprise ! Once installed, you can't erase it. So I'm wondering if there's a way of doing that without having to hack the phone or whatnot.

Thanks in advance :)

I can help with the Google Maps automatic updating but not the FB as I don't use FB.

Google Maps update: Open Android market and select my apps, now find Google maps and select it.
Just below the green title box there will be:

UPDATES

Keep this application up to date automatically.

Allow automatic updating.


Next to this is a check box, uncheck it.

Job done! ;)

I get facebook synch failed notifications and when I touch notification, it days I have already allowed... Frustrating as all hell. I use facebook android, mobile and through browser depending on what I want to do at the time. Not sure what to tell you. Disable timescape through applications maybe? Good luck.
