[Q] Twitter app - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The standard twitter app constantly crashes on my Galaxy Nexus - does this happen with anyone else? Tweetdeck doesn't exhibit this behavior but I would like to use the generic twitter app.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

No issues myself, bar it not notifying when it should

Mine doesn't crash per se, but it is still not optimized for ICS as far as I can tell. Like hitting the home button does not take me completely to ghe top of the list.

I wonder why it crashes for me...I am running 4.0.1 straight out of the box ics. Frustrating to say the least.

Yeah I am getting crashes sometimes as well, usually when I scroll through the list of tweets, always opens back up and runs fine after the crash

News360 for Phones widget does not work on GN/ICS!

I'm pretty sure it's a ICS issue since both myself and a friend with a LTE Nexus have same issue but wanted to know if anyone got this working. The News360 for phone app works perfectly when launching the app directly and the widget displays fine. However, when I try to launch a story from the widget I get a black screen and the phone starts getting unresponsive. I have to hit home a bunch of times to get out and then eventually the app crashes. I've opened something on their GetSatisfaction page so if you are having this issue please go there and vote it up so they will hopefully fix it. It's a great app and the widget looks/works great on our GN but we just need it to be fixed.
Thanks.

Weird Memory Issue

I have a memory issue with my GNex. It started maybe about a few weeks ago, when I was using Google Chrome. I'd be browsing for a bit, and when I hit the home button it brought me back but it had to reload the homescreens, like it was using up too much memory or something. Lately, it's been getting worse. I can load up facebook, scroll down a bit, hit the home button, and it'll have to reload the homescreens. I've tried looking at the apps I've had running in the background and closing them, but it doesn't fix the problem. Anyone else running into this who uses Chrome? Its not a major issue, but it's annoying. I'm not sure if it is Chrome causing it, but it only happens with Chrome.
I have a VZW Nexus with stock, unrooted 4.0.2
Try downloading the all watchdog. It will tell you if one of your apps is using more memory than it should.

Well, I downloaded it, but I still get the reloading of homescreens when I hit the home button on Chrome and got no memory warning or anything. So I'm not sure what is happening then.
I think they made the memory management a little less aggressive in later builds (4.0.4).

PAC-Man ROM problems

This is the first time I have used a PAC-Man rom, and I have spend a half hour trying to find a couple of settings. If anyone else is familiar with the ROM, and can lend a hand, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Ok, first off, where to I set the screen timeout? I don't see the setting under the normal settings->display options.
Second, I found that when I look at my recent apps, I see a little app bar with Apollo music player, camer, calendar, calculator, twitter and a couple others in it. Is there any way that I can customize these shortcuts? I play all my music through Google Play Music, and would love to substitute Apollo for it.
For now, that's all I can find (or can't find) wrong. Finally having an S-Off One is really showing off how awesome this phone is.
For the display timeout. Settings>Display&Lights>Sleep.
As for the bar in recents, I'm looking for a way to customize it as well.
Have you noticed any problems with WiFi or loading videos at all? For some reason I can't play Videos through the web or app for YouTube. And my WiFi seems to run at about half speed when I run a speedtest, compared to other devices.
I had problems for a while with YouTube, but without really doing anything it started working (I may have rebooted due to problems with my home screen). I haven't seen away to customize the shortcuts on recent apps yet either. Have you guys charged at all? Mine phone got pretty hot.

I've been running the ROM since we got rumrunner, and I've noticed my phone actually runs cooler while charging and normal use.
I just happened to wake up in the middle of the night and checked it. It was cooler than usual like you mentioned. I dont know what the deal was.

Have you had problems with a laggy launcher at all? Sometimes when I return to the home screen from an app, none of my icons or widgets show up until I hit the app drawer.

I still have yet to figure out how to change the recent apps. I haven't noticed my phone getting hotter than normal, so I'd check to see what apps you have running.
I also haven't had any issues with YouTube, but for some reason, Google Search doesn't want to work. It just looks like it keeps trying to load and nothing ever comes up. It states that a new version is available, but when I try to update, saying that the "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again." So, whenever I need to search for something, I have to go into chrome and search, which is a pain.
I updated to the 10/13 nightly and it seems to be running pretty well. Battery life is a bit better too. In the PACman thread it sounds like the 10/14 nightly didn't quite build right.

PAC-Man seems to be the best of all worlds. Unfortunatly, I have had little luck with it on any phone I have tried it on. Works great on my Samsung 7.7 tablet but tried it on my GNEX and S3 and I would have constant issues. Very laggy and random reboots. Some apps also did not place nice with it on the GNEX and S3. I have not tried it on the One as Vanir seems to be running really good.

I did have some issues with lag, but after switching to Nova launcher I haven't had any problems. It does sound like the most recent nightly has some fixes for the laggy launcher. Other than that minor issue, this ROM has been pretty stable.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

[Q] Text selection lags

Hello,
Ive noticed in some apps, and in particular Firefox (and i believe Gmail), that selecting text sporadically LAGS on my Galaxy S3 running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3.. to the point where dragging the markers to the left or right is delayed by several seconds.
Has anyone experienced severe text selection lag? Any debugging steps?
Ive undergone many app updates, and updating from C 10.1.0 to 10.1.3, without change. Happens sporadically it seems. Does this happen on stock rom? I haven't been stock for a while and can't go back.

I have been on stock for a while and so far I haven't had that issue. Could be an issue with your keyboard app or just a plain bug.
forgot to note, I do use SwiftKey keyboard
It did it again today in Firefox, and I noticed it was not fully zoomed in (eg: normally when you select a textbox the page zooms into that field). clicking the textbox a few more times until the page zoomed in in Firefox 'fixed it'... hmm

Facebook app force closes frequently

I've had my G3 for 2 days now. It is not yet rooted or tweaked aside from available options within the stock ROM. Everything seems to be working perfectly except Facebook. It works about half the time. but the other half it will open, freeze for a second, then just close. I've attempted to reboot the phone as well as even uninstalling/reinstalling the app to see if it solves it but it continues to happen.
My guess is that the app is having an issue with the extremely high display resolution. But if that were true I'd imagine other apps would be experiencing similar problems.
Any ideas?
that's odd, facebook has been stable for me
Now I can't even get facebook to open. it just freezes and hangs there. Hitting the home button a few times finally gets it back tot he homescreen to kill the app but it happens again every time.
what version are you using? mine is 14.0.0.0.11
14.0.0.0.11
What's funny is I just switched from DALVIK to ART. Not only is my phone SIGNIFICANTLY snappier now, but Facebook is now working flawlessly. :laugh:
...of topic
For those looking to eliminate all lag:
1) Go to Settings / Developer Options / Select Runtime then select "Use ART" and approve the change. The phone will reboot and optimize your apps (which takes a few minutes) but it's well worth it.
2) Go to Settings / Developer Options and change "Window animation scale", "Transition animation scale" and "Animator duration scale" all down from 1x to .5x
After doing both of these my G3 now feels as snappy as my completely optimized Nexus 5 was.

If you BETA TESTER of facebook android app it can possible. I'm on beta stage of app that i receiving continuously updates for app. For now if i touch or tap to see comments app shutdowns. It's only allowing me likes. In prev. beta versions it wasn't allowed to browse albums of pages or friends. This is common problem on beta app. Otherwise the only way is seems to mail dev. team.
Thanks for the response. Since posting this thread I've actually gone back to my Nexus 5 and sold the G3. I was running into the same force close issue with facebook on the Nexus 5. I opted out of beta and now just use the stable version of the app and have no issues.
And for anyone wondering why I switched back. I realized after about 2 months of use that I just wasn't going to get used to the 5.5" screen. It's simply too big for me. That and lack of development support really had me missing my Nexus 5.
