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?

Apps changing UI? How's that even...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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)

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.

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.

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

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.
Just came a crossed an app that disables the tegra 3 screen dimming function which causes the washed out colors. The app is nvidia tegra prism toggle...used it and noticed a big difference but MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APP

it's been sad many times,i think there's also a 3ad somewhere of prism toggle by nvidia.Anyways,if you don't want to buy the app,you can use the tricksterMOD app and by disabling smart-dimmer in the proper tab,you do the same thing (echo "0" > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable)
EDIT ehi,but it's warez!!!!!!!!!!!PULL IT OFF!
thanx guys, trying this out,,steve

there is no problem with the display. its a power-saving feature which doesnt save any power from what i was able to find out.
problem is that it washes out your colors. its extremly visible when you watch video for 10-20min and then press HOME. it stays like this for good 30+sec. after that it goes back to normal. watching a lot of movies, its visible whether I have this turned ON/OFF.
What do you think will be the next update for the GNII to improve it to be more like a tablet? Any ideas?
Swyped by Me & My GNII
I was wondering the same thing, but to be totally honest with you, it's already like too perfect. I really don't know anything else that can be done to it to make it any better except maybe, being able to use the voice feature on it without being connected to the Internet? Just my 2 cents.

I really doubt they will enable tablet mode, they have tablets for that. That and for most people the screen is still to small from the tablet UI. heck even the Nexus 7 runs the same UI as the Note 2 does

I don't know, I think the whole phablet thing had many hesitant about this phone. I sincerely hope you're right though. I love CM10, PA, and other similar ROMS but they take so much time to get fully functional. I just hope there is Dev out there who will jump in and take it on for our Sprint variant.
the note II is anything but perfect. I have a lot of "gripes" with it.
first 320dpi. seriously? is that a joke I could not root it fast enough to get it going at 240dpi. Ahhh so much better
burst mode is borked. the huge delay built into the implimentation on the Note II renders is useless. as a temp fix use best shot its instant but only 8 shots.
on my S3 I can assign my favorite upload method (imgur for pictures youtube for video) as defaults. just tap the imgur or youtube icon and its going
this is GONE in the NOTE II I have to tap share and scroll to my selections EVERY TIME. very annoying once you got used to the S3 way.
toggles are gone. so I can't turn off mobile data etc.. on the Note II easily from the pull down like I can on the S3.
Things that I'm curious about right off are:
1. What color is the dialer? Is it still white or have they changed that to dark?
2. In the "Internet" app (not chrome) can you "Open page in background"?
and bonus
Have you experienced any problems with files (moving, naming, editing, accessing, coping info back and forth from interral to external, ect...) on the MicroSD card through a downloaded file explorer app (ie ES File Explorer)?
Hangouts now uses the emoji from the Samsung keyboard instead of Google emoji. Kind of annoying.

Same thing, internet seems to be the same, no difference.
Most of the notifications are white, kinda liked the green battery.
Camera shortcut in lock screen
The font in notifications is different
Can't find much else
I was hoping to see a fix for the messaging app. When backing out of a text message it can take up to 5 seconds to go back into your message list. It's really annoying.
Checked- still does the same thing. I can't believe a 3rd party app can do this better. Unbelievable.

I noticed the reception is better now:laugh: No seriously what with the full bars!! I always have full bars even when I know im in an area where is barely reception. and Yes the dbm meter is displays the correct reading but the bars are way off. I tried with the international Kitkat rom and I got the same result. Looks like its a kitkat thing across the board. Kinda reminds me of AT&T and Apple saga over the inaccurate iphone reception meter.
