BlinkFeed and Facebook problems - Sprint HTC One (M8)

Ok so I am seriously annoyed right now. The reason my note 3 is sitting collecting dust is because I loved my m7 so much that when I had the opportunity to get a m8 I was glad to change over again. One big reason was missing my BlinkFeed. My problem is every time I click a Facebook post in BlinkFeed it opens to my Facebook app but not the actual post. So I have to back out and click the BlinkFeed link a second time. I can deal with that but if it is a video someone posted I can't get past the error when I try to open the actual video. It tells me post is not found. But if I go through my Facebook app and search through to find it again it opens.
Is this normal? I am bone stock 4.4.3 and haven't bothered rooting yet

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.

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

Ad blocking apps make Pandora skip

Im new to android so take it easy one me. I just converted from iOS to Android so i got lots to learn still.
I have a HTC One Running viperROM with Wolfpack kernel.
I have noticed that while running Pandora (haven't used any other music apps) i get a lot of stuttering (Skipping) throughout the whole time it plays no matter what song plays. I noticed it stopped skipping when ViperBoy sent an OTA update (1.0.3). i looked at the change log and noticed that he Improved hosts file code.
Now i went and added a bunch of new apps to my HTC One and notived it started to do it again. After going crazy for about a day i started looking around for the problem and noticed that i installed an ad blocking app (adfree) that happens to mess with the host file. uninstalled it and the problem was gone.
after this i decided to download other ad blocking apps and it did the same with all. (Adaway & Adblock).
I don't know if someone already brought up this issue anywhere else on the forum since i did do a search and nothing was really found.
I just figure i would give a heads up on this situation just in case some others are having the same issue.
(Remove or disable ad blocking apps and Pandora is working fine.) hopefully that helps some of you.
This was a major piece of discussion in the viperrom thread.

Google's new messaging app Hangouts

Any one have luck updating gtalk to hangouts, I suppose if your rooted it's probably simple but if your unrooted as I am than the talk app is a system app bloatware and hasn't updated to hangouts

OP asked how we'd go about this if we aren't rooted. Curious about this as well.
You can do it via the play store through the webpage.
Says i have hangouts installed but its not in my app tray..when i hit open from the play market hangout app page it opens Talk
Same thing happened to me...just install it from the play.google.com site as @robfactory said above. Fixed.
installed from web to device and rebooted phone
I'll be sticking with talk. Hangouts is a bit......how do I say it..... IT SUCKS:what:

This is how I did it. Still had a shortcut for Talk in one of my homescreen folders, but just deleted it and replaced it with Hangouts. I like it.

Hate to say it bud, but step one for anything XDA, is root your phone .
Stay on the stock ROM if you want (god knows why, less battery life, slower phone, less secure phone, still the same phone and functionality, but that is your choice to stay on the ROM it came with), but you should add root capabilities. You can stay on the same ROM, only downside is I'm pretty sure there is no way to stay with your current setup, HTC Dev unlock WILL wipe your existing settings, widgets, profiles, apps, etc. But you can flash just the small root package and modify nothing that the phone came with originally. Rooting your phone is required here at XDA (lol not really, I just say that). Anyway, sorry I don't have anything useful to say about the app, but trust me... You want root Besides, you can deny root access to anything. Who is SYSTEM anyway? Why does he have all the powers and I haz so little?
P.S.
Do it.
I am getting this...

I believe the update was pushed today, I saw it in play store as the actual update and it worked fine for me. I got the error message in the previous post once, but restarting the app fixed it. I do get my contact list disappearing quite often.
So far I feel the contact list could use some managing, I miss seeing my talk list and seeing who's online but I suppose I could try it out some more. There is a decent amount of emoticons added, but everything feels very basic and minimalistic. Not quite what I was expecting, could be because it's early on.
All in all, still feels like a beta.

Facebook App with "Ongoing Notifications"

Hello Everyone
I was hoping someone could help me. I saw a facebook feature on my mothers phone that I'd like on my own.
After a LOT of googling and searching around i've found out that the name of the feature i'm looking for is "Ongoing Notifications".
If i'm not mistaking, this is something that was released in a version of Facebook that was only available on the market for a short amount of time before they suddenly removed it again. Ironically, my mother (that pretty much NEVER update her apps) managed to get that update within the short timespan it was out. I live nowhere near her, and therefor i'm not able to backup the app from her phone and just install that on my own.
I THINK it was either version 3.6.1 or 5.6.1 (pretty sure it was the latter), but searching around I find no evidence of 5.6.1 being a valid version number.
Does anyone have the version of facebook i'm looking for installed on their phone, and would be so kind as to back it up and upload it somewhere? I would be eternally grateful, cuz this is annoying the crap out of me :cyclops:
//Espen
Edit: In case people don't necessarily realize what the feature actually does, i'd like to update this a little.
"Ongoing Notifications" adds a facebook bar in the phones notification center (dropdown menu), and an icon in the top left corner. It displays the same as your standard browser notification bar does, when logged in.
It's version 3.6.1
Let me upload it.

Took 4.3 ota, strange connectivity issues

Anyone else having problems? Real slow access to a lot of Google things, was getting timeouts to play store. I'm on at LTE in the Philly area BTW. Pandora was giving me problems, but other things were fine and I ran a speed test got like 35/20mbit which is plenty fast.
Idk if they're related or not…

OK, that's even weirder because I was rooted on 4.1.2 and had both of those lol. I'm on a Dev edition and I ran the ruu to go back to stock and bring it up to the latest to see how it is. I had to lock it to get the ruu to run and then unlock it to get the recovery/root reinstalled

Just had another issue hitting play store. Rebooted and it was fine albeit a Lil slow.
Before I rebooted it was 1bar of LTE and after it just stayed on GSM/HSDPA or w/e . I still don't know if its my phone or att

I'm having issues connecting to Play Store (connection times out) and Facebook (same issue) on LTE with 4.3 OTA, regardless of APN settings. AT&T network here. Drivig me insane.
Browser usually works though, as does Speedtet.net. Go figure.
