[Q] Facebook Issue

Anyone ever issues with facebook app timing out? My wife's bionic keeps saying connection lost, tap to retry. My bionic does not have this issue. I wiped cache, restored to factory, uninstalled and re-installed facebook.
Works for a bit then the problem keeps creeping back up. Any ideas?
The phone is stock and we are on verizon. I am wondering if I should flash the stock image over itself again.
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Luis

Its been happening to me a lot lately, even on stock (but rooted).

I had the issue on my bionic, but it seemed related to Verizon's network. I connected to WiFi and it worked. I haven't had any issues since I did that yesterday.

I have issues on wifi and mobile data ... I wiped cache and forced stopped facebook, haven't had any issues in a few days.

I have the same problem, and it seems to be related to the facebook app itself, not the phone. It's always been rather slow and buggy, but a few versions back, this connection timeout problem surfaced.
Half the time, I just use the web browser. It's significantly faster.

They updated the client today. Not any netter in my experience. I'm starting to use the browser version instead.

I've been noticing this issue for about the past 3 weeks to a month ago. It is extremely annoying.

Haven't seen this issue yet, but curious about it. I had issues when I did some changes in the Battery & data manager setting. Try turning data saver off and see if problem still happens. Personally I don't use that setting, had to many issues trying to listen to Pandora for long period and having it shut down Pandora during standby with that setting turned on. I beleive Facebook would do the same during standby.

Same

Moto x is freezing up

My moto x is rooted with stock ROM still. Have had no problems for the last like 3 months I've had it. Then yesterday it won't open apps and even the launcher freezes up. I'm still on 4.2.2 as well. Any idea why it would just stop working right? I haven't downloaded anything new either. I haven't had enough time outside of work to search myself. Any help is appreciated.

Additional info: my phone for some reason has no recovery. SuperSU is crashing and disappears sometimes. I am at a loss and do not want to try to factory reset or anything unless I absolutely have to.

Optimizing apps after every reboot

Since switching to ART runtime every time I reboot the turbo android optimizes apps which makes a restart a very time consuming task and takes a toll on the battery. Any suggestions?
Also my first topic post.

I had the same problem,.just switched back to Dalvik for now...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app

why do you need to reboot your phone so much?

Same problem and switched back to dalvik

I have had two cases in which the phone has reset on it own. Other times when I have had connectivity issues with data or Bluetooth a reset is typically the quickest fix.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app

I had been running art and had that same problem. For me it was 70 apps. I switched back dalvik.
I'm thinking it probably had to do with apps that aren't compatible.
That's just a guess

That's how ART works in 4.4. Its not a problem, just a reality of the runtime until Lollipop. Every device does it IIRC.

It's been a while since I've ran ART, but I definitely remember it doing that on my S3 when I did use it.

That's not entirely true - I think optimization of apps while on ART during every boot might be device specific because when ART first became available, I switched to it on my Droid MAXX and optimization was done only once, during the initial boot, never after that.

same was the case on my Droid Razr Maxx. Only optimized apps the first reboot after switching to art and never again.

Just sold my S5 as I'm buying this phone today but wantedvto chime in. I was running ART on the S5 and the phone only optimized the apps on the initial restart. ART was confirmed enabled and running without this reoptimization problem. This is probably a Moto issue.

That's true and even on the droid razer maxx stated before your post they also never experienced optimization on every reboot like this droid turbo.

I have a 2013 X ran art since day one. Never had that issue

In a quick test it feels like having more RAM... Apps are not closing in multi task.... Of course needs more testing...

I am rooted in KitKat and tried the app. Apps still close and ram left always stays above 220-230. Its like I have not bought a phone with 1gb but 768 mb ram.

Do all the Moto G 2014 units suffer this or just a few? I am still in the middle of deciding which backup phone to buy.
Would appreciate further feedback.
Thanks.

Its not an issue if you don't multitask. It may be if you like to switch between different apps.

All 2nd gen phones have this problem. If you don't have too many apps installed that runs in the background or if you don't multi task, it may not be a problem for you.

Okay I tried the app and put the settings to aggressive and I can confirm that it works. Also, I don't think it's placebo

It wasn't working for me. Can you try to open multiple apps and see if free ram ever goes below 100 mb
Sent from my XT1068 using XDA Free mobile app

Yeah well earlier the RAM never used to go below 200mb, but now it reaches the lower 100s,110-120. So I'd say that's an improvement

Are you able to multi-task efficiently?
Please can you try opening a browser and then open up your camera and click one or two pics and then go back to your browser and see whether it reloads or not?

Hmm I guess you're right. There still is a problem. The browser automatically did have to reload the site I opened up before clicking the pictures.
Damn and here I thought this could be solved via this app

Me to but Motorola should take full responsibility and tell us what is going on with g2

Almost there
I used it for some hours.... it really improved multitasking, less launcher redraws and less app killing. But it isn't a miracle, sorry to say.
Before Moto G 2, I had a Moto G 1, and it has better memory magement.
And before that, I had a Razr D1 (Motorola 1Gb ram, single core, Jelly bean) and it was even better for multitasking....
Really disappointed here.... I wont recommend Moto G anymore,,,,

I came from galaxy s2 and I'm disappointed with multitasking. I will wait for lolipop update but if nothing will change I will sell that phone and buy Lumia because I'm tired to flash custom roms.

is it worth rooting?

Previously I've used Samsung devices, which I root the moment I get them. I've tried stock and its horrible, rooting is pretty much necessary. But then I got this phone and its got just about everything I wanted in a ROM on my Samsung devices. What has been the experience of you lot? Is it that big of a difference?

It's just like everyone else says. 100% personal preference.

I root all my devices primarily for Xposed framework. It's something I pretty much can't live without. The stock ROM on the X is near flawless as is, so I have no desire to flash a custom ROM, but Xposed gives me the little flourishes that I like that aren't offered by the stock ROM.
Aside from flashing ROMs on your Samsungs, were there any root apps that you grew accustomed to using? Maybe Titanium Backup? If so, then root. If not, don't. You'll have an amazing experience either way.

Couple random little things, like viper4android, but your sentiment was the general mimpression I had as well.

It is all personal preference. I used to root for the Roms, but the Moto X 2014 is nearly perfect on stock. I still root because I like to be able to install an ad blocker and be able to reboot rather than just powering off.

Although I initially rooted my X on KitKat for xposed, I believe its perfectly good even left as stock. I only rooted after moving to Lollipop to reduce the DPI as that's the one thing about stock X that really gets on my nerves. Everything else is gravy.

I thought you could do this with an adb command and doesn't need root? Pretty sure that is the case.

It is, yeah. But I've always been more comfortable doing it via apps or build.prop editors..so..
Besides, I tend to change it around quite a few times till I've settled on one that suits me best. I'd rather not be tied down to a computer to do it. Rooting is just a one-time hassle so I prefer it that way. Plus, greenify, adblock, etc.
