[Q] OH SNAP! - Off-topic

Anyone else getting a lot of crashes with Google Chrome in the XDA forums? Starting to drive me nuts and it seems to only be happening here.

Not here but still prefer Opera 11 as my default browser

Er... No. Chrome seems stable... what are you doing that's causing it to crash? Any extensions that might be dodgy?

No extensions but it is the dev build.

Same here Ive gotten a lot of crashes
One of my colleagues actually works for Google and is on the chrome team Ive reported this to him and he says he will be on top of it for the next release.

... I still use Firefox - no issues here.

A little old perhaps? Stable Chrome for the mass market is v8, and that one talks v6?

Firefox 4 beta. Works better than Firefox 3 for me.

I use the canary build of Chrome. Since it includes features too unstable to be included in even the dev channel it does crash, but I haven't noticed more problems than usual accessing XDA. I also have both Opera and Firefox installed but find Chrome way faster. Just my very humble opinion.

Facebook App Update 1.3

Having issues downloading and installing, can someone post the apk please?
Really, no one thats looked at this can pull and post the apk real quick?
I was coming here to find out the same thing.
Also if anyone knew if it has sync (I'm unsure as to if the official one has it on any of the android versions since the version I'm using has it but it was from an apk I got here on xda).

Oh whoops. I read your post as "it doesn't have sync" lol
Haha ok I figured that might have been the issue, looking back I could have worded that better to make it more clear.
Seems the app has major battery drain issues though (which went back to normal after I turned notifications off, sync is still on though), so be aware.
I grabbed mine from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/facebook-for-android
Can anyone give me a reason to use this app instead of the FB touch site? As far as I can tell, the touch site does everything the app does, and even more.
The main reasons I use it is for the contacts sync and the (not very good) widget.
How come when I click sync now for my facebook friends it doesnt update their new photos it shows their old photos in contacts
anyone have an idea

[Q] How to make Chrome Beta to work on the Touchpad

Anyone remember how to make the Google Chrome Beta to work on our touchpads?
I know the answer is somewhere in the forums but i tried and failed to find it.
Im running the latest CM9 nightly btw.
Installing it from the Play Store works for me.
There's some odd graphical glitches that occur if it hasn't been closed for a while, but I also get those on my Desire HD, I'm guessing it's just an instability with some 4.0 ROMs.
From what I understand, It works if your DPI is set to either 120 or 140. Anything else will cause it to force close.
never, just updated chrome beta to the stable, and it works fine

This. It's been happening to me for the last two releases. Before that, it worked fine. But ever since the second to last beta release, it's been producing lots of graphical errors and crashes, especially when loading or scrolling pages. Anyone not experiencing these or have any ideas as to how to correct them?

Some reporting an issue, Others saying they are fine...
It's working for DancherBoi which is someone I regard as reliable as far as reporting experience is concerned so it may be nothing to worry about.
I've received the update however still haven't noticed any significant changes.

It is really hard to notice changes to Chromecast updates easily. Most likely it is bug fixes and updates for the upcoming SDK. There could be some more apps coming soon and this is being done in preparation for that.

That is actually a thread I started and After I posted that I stopped using the android app on my phone and it started working again. Since then I have not had a single problem with the app or the chromecast. My second chromecast has not updated yet either.

I'm betting the issues some had were not update related but related to Google Services being on the fritz that day.
Recieved the update earlier today. Not noticed any significant changes as yet, though connecting does seam faster as well as sending s stream from YouTube and Netflix. Not tried out Avia yet, but will be later today, will update with anything further I noticed. The main observations though is an overall speed improvement, though this could just be me imagining things not based on anything concrete.

What did it gave us before? What will it give (or take away) now. Good or bad? if bad for non rooted users, can "we" keep it in "our" rom?
Will it be problem now for Koush?
I have my CC setup to go to US Netflix by blocking the DNS request and setting Unlocator's DNS's on my router. It has been working fine, but last night and tonight I have not been able to use Netflix on the CC - when I try the Netflix screen displays for a while and then it says "Unable to Connect at this time." I just noticed that it has updated to 15250. I'm not sure when the update happened but I'm concerned that it has broken our workaround...
EDIT: It is working now. I connected to the internet by watching a video on Youtube and then went back to Netflix and it worked, without changing any router settings.

Likewise !
destroyed most of my chromecast usability
Since I got the update, I cant cast my computer via Chrome. It just sits with a blank screen. Audio is cast, but no video. I've tried multiple computers. Trying to read up on it. The only issues I could find is a known router issue w/ upnp and the comcast router/modem combo. Wish I could go back. It was working great before.

The last Google Cast update was 3 weeks ago. It would of already updated automatically by now.
Oddly, I received the update last Friday and did not have issues.
Now today I am unable to cast a tab from my CPU and I am at a loss as to why.
I checked my router and everything looks correct, I have restated my CC twice and that has not fox the issue either.
Just going to wait and see if letting sit for a bit might fix whatever is wrong.

Lots of lag

Hello. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing studders while using the Note 4. It seems like its mostly the keyboard and in the tw ui. I know this shouldn't be happening with the amount of RAM and 805 processor.
No lag here. Prolly some rogue app you have.

Are you rooted and have xposed installed? If so, read this: http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/f...es-when-using-xposed-your-galaxy-s5-0157344/#
I had the exact same problem, and this solved it 100%. And the beauty is, you can reinstall xposed and it's still perfect.

So you seem to own the Moto X and Xperia Z3 as well. And from your post history, you have issues with those too lol. Are you using all three phones?
I get review units and I try to report all bugs I find. I just odined back to stock and the lag seems isolated to the keyboard now.

Sounds like trolling to me. There are already approximately 5 other threads on this topic already. You should at least try to participate in one of those instead of starting a new thread.
I have no lag.
Lot of threads on lags....I really wish people would just stay with those threads...even if you are asking the same question, atleast will all be in one place...
I had lots and lots of lag... I unmounted my SD card, disabled the always WIFI thing (not sure what its called).. and lastly I manually searched for tmobile network and selected it.
Then.. NO MORE LAG. It worked for me. so I am really happy now.

There's something wrong with your phone if it's lags on stock. Especially the keyboard. I've had mine for about a week now with no lag whatsoever.

[APP] CAF Snapdragon Optimized Chromium (v46)

I've got tired to look for links of new builds for Chromium browser optimized for Snapdragon, so I decided to build my own.
The build is for v46, sources:
https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src/log/?h=m46
The Build uses SaberMod, O2
Browser includes:
- PowerSaving mode
- Night mode
- Ad blocking
- Google Sign-In with Bookmarks/Recent Tabs sync
Download:
Folder with builds:

Probably not likely to include Google Sync, though :/
so is this actually faster then chrome beta?

One can decide for himself.
In Octane benchmark:
Chome beta score: 8470
My build score: 9941
Version from Nov-9 (20151109) includes Google Sign-in.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=43195
Force Stop / Clear Data is recommended if you have some issues.
Awesome, works great, sign-in work, noticeably faster than Stock or beta Chrome !

https://www.chromium.org/
Chromium is the open-source project behind the Google Chrome browser.
Code Aurora Forum provides an optimized for Snapdragon CPUs version of Chromium,
but only as a source code https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/chrome4sdp/chromium/src/log/?h=m46
I compile apk based on these sources.
Really great! Thank you for this.

I also read some where that skipping the initial sign in when starting browser and then signing in in bookmarks solved this problem but I can't confirm it, I haven't tried it.

@VadimTk I have been using the 9/11 build for a couple of days and I just wanted to say again thank you. I have used so many browsers over the years and I have never been as happy as I am with your build. It is so fast and stable, it makes me smile when I use it. I really hope you keep compiling this! Thanks a million.
Sent from my Nexus 6
So Many CAF v46 builds are going around during the past month and this one is the best and actually the fastest. (I just finally found this)
According to vellamo it beats the v42(stable and faster than many v46 builds) which is the faster by 25 points.
Going to be enjoying this for a long time.
Thanks
anyone not getting push notifications and having issues after installing this? this is the only thing i did last when all of a sudden i'm not getting push notifications for hangouts, gmail, or anything anymore when i'm on LTE..only when i'm on wifi does it work, and verizon has NO idea what's wrong with it.
like i'm wondering if giving this permissions maybe messed with something in my google account? bc my note 4 has the same exact issue when i swap my sim into it..no push notifications. wtf.
What's up with the flashing red box around the browser like when a download OK box pops up or some other situations. It happened in chrome beta too before but not anymore.

The only thing I noticed that bugs me if in the address field when typing, it's hard to see what you're typing. It's dark on dark. Otherwise no issues.
