Facebook app lag

Is it just me or is the facebook app lagging really bad?
On older versions it was a little faster.
I'm using fasty rom.

Yep I do like the older versions the new one sucks.

I believe it has a memory leak. I've seen it climb up to 44mb of ram. I emailed the dev but never got a reply.

It's an absolutely terribly coded app. It's basically the web interface with terribly memory management issues. It's hit as high as 55MB of RAM usage on my phone. I recommend just making a bookmark to the mobile sit and using that through the browser. It's essentially the same experience until we can get a decent Facebook app

Also the notifications are a joke.

Try these instead
a wrapper for the mobile site, really good overall.

Replacement app, UI is not amazing but at least it works!

Yeah the Facebook App has always been extremely slow for me. Takes upwards of 30+ seconds to sometimes refresh news feeds or to change sections. I've opted to use the mobile site version instead now... and guess I'll give friend caster a try!

It rarely notifies you, which is extremely annoying.

Facebook app is one SORRY A$$ excuse for an app...i really don't understand how they have that many people working and the updates just kept getting worse and worse...now it's just a huge battery hog and doesn't even do what it's supposed to properly...all those negative comments in the reviews and they just lie complacent as if nothing's going on....i swear it's a ruse by Zuckerberg showing favoritism to Apple probably...a-holes

Thanks for the TIP on the Friendcaster. that works very fast. now adding to my tablet as well.

One other tip I'd offer is looking into Tinfoil for Facebook. It's essentially just a cached, Sandbox'd version of the mobile site, but there's a dedicated app for it, and it does run fairly fast on my phone!

Friendcaster is lightyears faster and more efficient than the Official Facebook App.

The facebook app is utter crap. Way too slow!! Better off using the browser.

Installing friendcaster on ICS port for captivate.. had not used before, lets hope it works
Edit: It apparently works!

chrome beta

Is anyone else here using the chrome beta regularly? I have been really enjoying it except for one issue which is noted in the documentation involving fonts resizing if the screen rotates, otherwise I am very impressed with it. Also check out the screenshot, both browsers have the same page loaded.

I am, it's a phenomenal browser! I wish there was a way to install it on GB though.

I love it, but check the cache. After two days mine was at 83MB..

IMO huge improvement over stock HTC browser. Seems to load pages faster, and I really like the way the implemented the tab browsing.

The only downside I found was with the address bar periodically disappearing. Nothing that can't be fixed by closing it in the ics task manager.

That's funny , its the other way around for me chrome pushes 100mb and the stock pushes 10

I would like to see some flash support. Other than that great browser.

I tried it 2 different times and i think it sucks.Im having trouble with the ICS browser but i will deal with it instead of using chrome.

The one thing I don't like about is page caching, I mean when I go back it reloads the page again instead of just showing the cached one... Is there a way to change that?

Multitasking

Do we know yet if htc has fixed the multitasking in the one. I had an x and x+ and the thing could not have more than a couple apps open at one time. It was quite annoying going into your mail app from the browser and having your browser reload when you go back into it. This drove me nuts.
If htc fixed that on the one I will be first in line to get one. If not then i will take a pass.

I read some article (hands-on) and it said multitasking is great, the phone just flew between apps

This is one thing I am looking for as well. I can't stand the multi tasking on my one x. It is completely useless. Couldn't even switch between two apps without having to reload them. I had also heard in one of the hands on videos I believe that they said the multi tasking had been fixed as well. But I'm still waiting for a thorough review.

there are loads of videos of the new multitasking I think it shows 9cards like Web os style or bb10

lol, did you legit just copy and paste Ddot's post?
But, yeah, I have the SGS3 now and it's nice to actually have multitasking compared to my HOX. I miss the non-pentile screen so much and I will definitely be pre-ordering one of these.

Lol hey I knew that post looked familiar! he was just quoting without the quotes heh. Yea I have the hox and my buddy has the s3 and it absolutely drives me nuts that he can actually multi task...I almost stopped using the button on this phone as it is near useless.

i read that it is limited to the last 9 apps you have used (which is more than enough i think)
so hopefully that means they have sorted it but could only get the last 9 working.

I'm fine with the last 9 working, as long as they are truly staying in some sort of saved state and pull back up to where you were at without reloading I'll be ecstatic.

9 apps only? With 2GB of RAM? A complete TRAGEDY!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

The problem is if those 9 apps are actually held in RAM or not. The HOX showed plenty of apps in the recent app list, it's just that they had all been killed already so it re-loaded from scratch.
Hopefully HTC have learnt, and if not then 2Gb RAM should make a difference too
M.

very nice

Any one get the ONE already can give some view on the mulitask performance?
If you you open several APP, like web browser and other APPs, when you switch back to web browser will it reload the pages?

Seems to work flawlessly none of the nine apps refresh

The phone will not have any multitasking problems with 2 gigs of RAM.
One X had only 1 gb, that's why it sucked with more than 2 apps open.

1g shall work fine for multitask, but one x has special handling to deal with multitask that cause it a problem. It killed app when memory still very much.
So we need ONE user to give their feedback on how good it is now.

Can someone with the One make a video and post it up please.
Go to Youtube Desktop version, play the video to 1 min in, Press home, go into email app, Press home then go to task Switcher app, Click on Youtube and see if the video is still at 1 min mark or it refreshed.
Its a deal-breaker for me

This would be interesting to know... Its not a deal breaker for me as memory management is fairly easy to modify with root. But it will still be annoying.

Root never fixed it on the one x for me despite tweaking

Choppy scrolling in Facebook app

Anyone else getting terrible performance from the Facebook app? I've had much better scrolling with my HOXL. I've now begun using the Web touch version, since it's working much better.

Yeah same here. Only app I notice it in though. Was better on my HOX too

Same, been using atrium instead

Probably an issue with FB app not optimized for the S600 It kinda is the first phone to release with this SoC

Me as well. Also seeing lag in play store. Anyone else?

Someone mentioned that enabling gpu rendering would fix this but don't know if it's true. Don't really use Facebook.

If you think that's bad, you should try Facebook Home. I actually like FB Home (leaving a shortcut in the app drawer to Apex) but when I tried it on the HTC One, it was so choppy.

[Q] need for speed most wanted

I am getting a black screen. Did a Google search... Looks like this is an issue. Can't find a fix for this for the HTC One. Any help would be appreciated . TIA

Most of the time if a game or app is broken for a particular phone, it's up to the app developer to fix it.

Can't post the apk, but if you Google NFSMW Nexus 7 MOD you'll find a version that works for our phones.
It doesn't have the blur effect and it doesn't run completely lag free, but it's definitely playable..
Aside from that, don't expect a fix for it...this effects the DNA as well and they haven't fixed it for that phone yet. How long has it been?

Thanks
Won't hold my breath for a fix then. Thanks.

After the crap EA has been pulling with their games on all platforms, I wouldn't expect much anyway. They've gone to hell a while ago. Hopefully their new ceo corrects things.
