For those who are using this app how was your experience?
Considering you are using internet yes it consumes more battery, about RAM well yes IMO. I suggest using Fast Facebook. So lightweight and data loads fast.
I use Facebook app with my background data off.
I experience little battery drain.
It is much more better than the previous versions for sure.
cause i have seen on running process that there is "Facebook" or "upload manager" and eats up around 30mb from ram even though Im not online and I exitted it. So is that process or service really drains battery and ram?
Its both. Try my suggested app. If your into simpler UI with fast loading performance with same FB app feature then FF must try

thanks I'll try that. But if my gps is on. does it record my location? "...near..." everytime I post? cause facebook app does that. Does FF does the same job?
Pretty much all features of FB app So yes.

I guess you'd need to "Check-in" to make that work
Opps please note that of the buttons on the bottom parts. Choose the one with checkin icon or the one with pin one Im sure you will be confortable with it as you use it

You guys seen their new website? Much, much better! I actually like how it looks now. Check it out.
For those who don't know, not that there's many who don't, it's a site where you can get ringtones/wallpapers/etc. for your phone 100% free, no catch, no bs.
www.zedge.com
Can you tell me what is the point of visiting their website? If I want to download a wallpaper or ringtone, I'll just use their app, why care about what their website looks like?
Because there might be people that rather have a bookmarked site over an app
What do you mean? I still don't see the point of bookmarking or visiting their site.

is easier if you install their App from Market
then you can pick sounds / wallpapers directly from it, and sets it into the system settings
Yeah for sure the app is a really handy one. Use it all the time when i get bored, and there are no new roms to try out.

Completely agree, thanks for the post. I would much rather use my laptop to find what I want to download before I spend 2 hours searching the mobile app for it. Not all of us have blazing fast 4g!
I had a look at their website, you guys are right. It is much easier to browse through the website, however one thing I find strange, how come on their website they don't separate ringtone from notification sound?

I'd imagine because on most phones it doesnt matter. I remember back when I had my Moto E816 I could only use certain file types for a ringtone/notification/alarm/etc., now you can use pretty much whatever you want.

They should add a remote install feature to the website, obviously requiring you to have the Zedge app installed on your phone. That would make it really worthwhile using the site over the app.
I do agree that the site is better for browsing, but the app sets things for you. We want the best of both worlds.

Stock rom or custom? If custom, which rom? Reason i ask is i remember it being a little sluggish too, but on 4.2.2 it seems much better.
It will lag until Facebook decides to get their **** together and make a proper app. I can't understand how they went from making the app HTML5 and then into NATIVE Android code and STILL lags this much??

If you're suggesting that they use the same programmers for every single app they have then that would be true, but the FB iOS app suffers no such lag and after releasing the app for so long on Android, you'd figure they would have improved their coding or hired a small group to program in Java/Android especially now that FB is pushing for mobile revenue...

There is a fix, indeed
If you're on anything beneath 4.2.2 - settings -> development -> advanced -> tick the box for "force GPU rendering" -> done
4.2.2 hides the development settings by default, so to show them, -> settings -> about -> software information -> more -> click on the "build number" 5-15 times, rapidly to uncover the 'development' section of the settings menu
Let me know if it works!

LOL, I like the sound of that bit.
I have LG Optimus 4X HD since 2012. It was good until I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 (official). Severe battery drain, game lags, heating etc forced me to install custom ROMs. First tried CM, better than stock but not as good as I wanted; then tried MIUI V5, much better than both stock & CM. Never tried custom kernels though. I even tried other Chinese ROMs (based on stock) to see if better. Battery, UI etc were more than satisfactory with MIUI but lags in games and sometimes hanging while opening apps were still frustrating. Then one day I saw "Performance Booster" somewhere & gave a try with free version first. It drastically changed the performance then I installed donate version which improved overall experience. As mentioned in the app it didn't improve benchmarks but improved phones performance for sure. In other words, it saved my money from buying a new phone. Now I don't need new one as I have 'Huawei Mediapad X1' for reading, games & watching videos, which I bought here in China for less than 300$ (it's 400 Euros outside China).
So what is it? I don't try to be rude, but at least you can share where we can find it or something. I know Google it's a good friend but I don't know what exactly. BTW thanks for share your experience

What the title says. Write your findings and differences.
OP will be updated thanks to your contributions and suggestions. Special thanks to all contributors.
This will help in an easy way to locate what has changed for our beloved Note's.
1)-I find fingerprint sensor much more accurate.
2)-I personally find that phone gets a little warm while charging (N910C)
3)-Phone app seems faster but had 2 hangs to closing the line. Red button was not responding.
I had a clean install.
4)-You can now change colours in folders in the app drawer and homescreen.
5)-Now third party apps optimized for LP can write to ExtSDcard.
6)-a. Settings-security-trusted agents : enable smart lock
b. Smart lock now appears under settings-security.
7)-MISSING: RAW implementation is NON existent in N4. Samsung dropped the ball. Oops.
8*)-"Recent" apps remain after a reboot.
9-) Added battery drain. Internet hogging apps keep continually connecting.

Everything has improved in every way possible for me and the spen even works on games that it didn't work on before :laugh:

always nice to get an update. about to install, need to quick charge first. I had wifi-calling on all night, hence my battery was at 1% when i woke up. which brings me to my next point: i hope this update fixes the cell-standby bug. I don't think I'll use video calling much if it means my battery life tanks due to enabled VoLTE. It's been reported, on other S6 variants that got this "latest TW" update, that RAM management is better, so i'm looking forward to that possibility. hopefully the experts here will check out all the minute code details regarding RAM and let us know if RAM management is the same or not.

My battery life seems to be a bit better with this update.
I just plugged phone into smartswitch and saw the update. 50% through right now. Wonder what's up with it, and hopefully battery life is a little better. I'm pretty sure being an avid user as I am, and the apps that I run don't help.... But, my s4 got better battery then this phone does =/ I'm also probably going to have to get a replacement, because my camera is all wonky, and making weird noises.. All in all, I'm fairly disappointed with the way Samsung rolled this phone out. I'm trying to stick with Samsung, but they are making it very hard.
anywhere to get the file? i'm rooted so no ota update for me...
Memory management still sucks balls. Everything else in the update is legit though. Seems like there is more bloat than ever.
