Flashing pictures on FB - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Anyone else suddenly experiencing this? Just started one day. I'm about to reset and see if it fixes anything.
What I'm experiencing is opening facebook and either getting a white screen for a long time, when I scroll and load a new page on news feed and then scroll back up it finally loads. But when pictures loaf they are just Grey unless I'm scrolling over them then the.picture flashes in and out. I've uninstalled updates and its the same... I've rebooted its the same.

I think it has to do with the last Facebook app. Right after I installed the last update, I've been having the same problems.

Its Facebook and their crappy app.

Thank God I'm not the only one. I thought I was going crazy. My wife's atrix isn't having this issue.

I have been having the same issue for about a week.
Please make sure you report it to Facebook (they cant fix it if they don't know its broken).
To report it:
In the Facebook app, hit the menu button on the phone, tap About, and then tap on the "Please submit bug reports by clicking here"
this opens a web browser where you can tap "Somethings not working"
On the next screen, scroll down to the bottom where you tab "report an issue" which expands the selection, and then you can tap "please let us know"
From there enter you bug report.
Thanks

Either that or there is an email link for the app in the Play store to submit issues. Or do both. The issue isn't present on my Xperia P only the ion. (can't test the Xperia S its getting the yellow tint issue fixed)

Even the mobile site is acting strange , who else is having problems it's not loading the pictures

mobile site works fine for me. sometimes the app works fine for me as well. i used to think facebook is being retarded again but seems like it's not facebook's fault this time.

I have the same problem.

I too have this issue, however... I have found a constant. When I open my Facebook app, and its loading the feed, that's when my pictures flash. If I scroll down to essentially load those next few pictures, and then back up, it stops. Every time.

Wonder why? Dont have this problem on my Xperia S

My flashing pictures issue seems to be getting a little better, doesn't do it right away now, will start flashing after I scroll down and more images have to load. I do not have auto update turned on and has not done an update for a while.
My version is 1.9.7 anyone tried uninstalling the updates to see if an oldre version would work?
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

Yes.. didn't change. Even reinstalled updates and uninstalled again. Nothing.

Just my 2 cents, but might it have something to do with the stock Facebook Timescape app? Maybe they are both trying to access the same information and creating a bug in the FB app.

Tried without authorizing Timescape. Same issues. nd it's only the app itself for me. The mobile site and full site both work fine.

I've actually switched. Now using timescape and.pulse to check my facebook. Flipboard is OK but doesn't show the entire feed always. Timescape will just have to do till the app is fixed

I too have been experiencing this, and it seams to have gotten worse in the past few days.
Sent from my LT28at using xda app-developers app

Yeah, it's a huge annoyance to me. I don't even really attempt to open up the app on my ion. Until it's fixed, I will continue to browse facebook on my BlackBerry Bold. I keep hoping for another update to be pushed out to see if this problem will be resolved.

Select a certain app and a different app opens??

I selected the music app and yelp will open instead. In order to fix this i have to restart. I'm on 4.0.2 GSM.
Anyone else having this issue?

Try going to Apps/All/Music/Clear Defaults or Clear Data. Go to Yelp and do the same.

It happens from time to time with my LTE Nexus. It's an issue with either the launcher of the touch driver becoming miscalibrated. Either reboot your launcher (or if that doesn't work) reboot your phone. It will clear the problem for a while.

I have this issue frequently with the stock messaging app. I never have to reboot. Just force stop the app and it will release.

I've only had it happen with music app... had it happen on ICS on my dinc too

This happens mostly when you are in an app already, and then open up an app via the pull down notification. Then when you exit that last app you are pressing home instead of back. This there is an app running on top of the app u are trying to use

You don't have to restart your phone at all. Just swipe away all apps in the multitasking tab. Job done.

That's really strange because it works for me on 4.0.2 (it worked on 4.0.1 as well).

Lol actually happens to me with the stock messenger app and this premium xda app. All the tine in fact just now lol. I just swipe both apps away and reopen. Funny bug. must have something to do with the multi tasking orders.

App showing different looks

Hi,
I've been experiencing a very weird issue lately. Yesterday I opened whatsapp and the UI was different. The contact list option was at the bottom along with 2 other options, which is otherwise at the top right corner. I thought maybe its a newer version but when I checked today, the ui was back to the older one. I checked on Google play in case there's an update which somehow got mixed up, but there wasn't. Then I remembered it had happened before with Facebook. A month back the fb app showed a different outlay which went back to older one the next time I opened it.
Anybody has an idea about it or anything similar?

Changed your DPI lately? Certain DPI will, if coded in the app, change the layout. I.e I'm using 240 DPI and the messaging app has 'new message' at the top rather then the bottom for standard 320dpi, same as gmail labels and options have shifted to the top also.

Do you have Force GPU rendering turned on?

yup i noticed it with facebook several times, even took a screenshot of it .. i always thought of it as a "version in preparation" , and thought it was only a fb thing

No I haven't tinkered with the DPI. Most of my settings are default. I've an unlocked galaxy nexus and have't rooted the phone either.

Yesss! This is the exact same UI I saw once. Similar thing happened with whatsapp. I wonder what this is.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I had that same Facebook UI the other day!! I thought the app updated.
Weird. Now it's gone.
Actually u can replicate it with fb. Just log out while u're not on ur news feed or timeline pages, for example visit a friend's timeline, and then log out, then log in again. It may not work every time, but i seem to be able to replicate it that way
P.s. usually the ui changes to the old one (the regular one) spontanously after a few clicks.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks @rayiskon. I think I reinstalled fb when that happened. I guess your method would also work. However, the different whatsapp ui was actually better and more convenient, don't know why they changed it if it really was an older version of it.

Gmail bug?

I am noticing that if I am reading an email within the Gmail app and swipe left or right to view the previous or next message I get a counterclockwise circle indicating the message is downloading but it never does. If the message was previously downloaded I can swipe into it fine.
Anyone else?

So weird, same thing happening to me... I hadn't noticed it. I think you legitimately found a bug.
I think it is a bug. The images are actually downloaded in most cases, but just don't show until you back out of the screen and quickly re-enter or force another action that happens to make them appear.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Happens to me too. Maybe try the latest 4.2 gmail leak or whatever it was?

I can also confirm this happens to me... but I found that turning the phone from portrait to landscape fixes it. Weird.
Same thing here
Same thing here. It's annoying because there's no alternative (like a button or similar).
Have to go back and click next e-mail every time...

Camera Lag

I have been turning on the camera app and having it sit black with all the app buttons (settings, flash, etc.) not working. 5 seconds later, the screens shows what the camera is pointing at and the settings begin to work again.
If it freezes, i click the home button, hold the home button and clear the camera app, and open the camera app again, the camera will work.
Anyone have a similar issue?

Try going to application manager --> camera and clear data.

any way to get rid of clear defaults message?

every time i click a link in youtube it pops up with the message
clear defaults
clear default app settings by going to settings, applications, manager, all
even if i tell it to open with the youtube or internet app by default and select every time it asks me this same question every single time.
is there any way to stop this from happening? obviously, it is a touchwiz thing because its never happeend on any other devcie i've owned. so annoying.
It was on my nexus too..Obviously not running touchwiz.. seems to almost be a bug with the note. When you select to use that app every time, i would think it shouldn't come back up. .I've noticed it too
