The big update finally hit android users. It's way faster. !!!

Doesn't seem any faster at all. I can't tell one bit of a difference. I have a 25 mbit connection and it still takes ages to load photo albums. Still a horrible app.

Idk dude every update that Facebook claims to be "faster" and have "less battery consumption" just seems like bull. It sucks battery no matter what and the app is no faster and completely identical to the mobile site. In fact if you just set your profile to send email notifications it notifies you on everything instantly

Supposedly the app is a complete rewrite to be Android native...Testing it for myself...I've been a big fan of FriendCaster Pro, so I hope they took a few notes from them
I love the new ui. No problems on my end

It happens a lot on the xda app, and noticing it alot on instagram. I see no data activity for 10 seconds then it will animate and data will load whatever im browsing. Dont use facebook or twitter. Infact I never used instagram till yesterday and its doing same thing as xda, which is what I browse with the most. I thought it was just the xda site but I guess not. My wife hasnt noticed it in hers but i will be trying her phone out now that I know its the phone.
Surprised I havent found other complaing. Maybe I need to swap this thing out

*#*#4636#*#* will get you a ping test - choose "Info," then "Device information," which is actually telephone information. You can also get an app "Hidden Menus" from the Market which will save you the effort of keying all that in
*#0*# works to get into the Service Menu to test the rest of the phone out.
I am wondering if it's a modem issue. Any ideas if we have any other modems and can we flash modems from the first Note? I saw dagr8's thread on modems but no Att modems available to download. They are all bad links. I think they were having issues with them. I also saw someone posted a newer modem but it needs to be packaged in a zip.

I need multi view so I can watch and run ping the same time as browsing. I have to switch over to pinging app when I see no activity and buy the time I switch over its pinging away. It stops pinging when I am switched over on another app
A while ago I started encountering a problem with the YouTube app. 95% of the time when I load up a video it buffers every 15 seconds. I kill the app, toggle my wifi on and off, go back to the app and it loads the videos normally quick for 20 minutes, then it starts buffering again... I tried deleting the app cache and data, uninstalling and reinstalling, changing wifi frequency to both options and yet it is not working. I know it isn't my Internet because I can stream video from the browser with no problems, every other app works fine with the connection except YouTube. Any ideas to fix this issue?

Ever since a few updates ago it's only gotten increasingly harder to load up a video. God forbid your on 3g. Also check if the video is on HD. If it is turn it off in the bottom left corner when it's in landscape and it'll load no problem and it'll still be pretty clear. If its on HQ it should load after a few seconds with maybe just one buffer

Do you not see my connection? I can stream a 1080p video without one buffer... I guess the app is just messing up lately like the other guy said, that's why it's buffering.

Was having issues with my AT&T OG as well.
So it does seem to be more server/app side.
While it may suck, I'm glad I'm not the only one with the issue.

So we all know the GS4 out of the box has some atrocious lag. Well I went through the steps to clear a lot of it out without rooting. Just stock, and changing some settings within the OS itself. But I was still noticing some small lag here and there. Well it turns out I put my GS4 on the charger and start using it, and I notice that there is significantly less lag, I unplug it, and then it goes back to usual lag. I have done this back and forth a couple of times, with the same results.
So could it be that Samsung ramps up the CPU when on the charger?

I never experienced lag on this phone until yesterday and I noticed google services was using uo my battery. Went to the google settings and there is a new option call android device manager and I unchecked all the location settings and lag gone. Also if you have google currents go into settings and disable background sync.

Checked that and it's completely off. I wouldn't put it past Samsung do that, we've already seen them ramp up the processor and gpu for the benchmark rests, my guess is that they lower the clock speed when not charging or maybe below a certain percentage.
Sent from my GS4
No lag here. Sorry to hear that bro
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
It's not like it's everywhere, it's just in a few places, like hangouts, where my One never lagged, or sometimes a jitter when swiping through apps or home screens. Guess I'm just not used to it coming from the One. But there is a difference in performance when plugged into a charger and not.

Watch a movie on the one or play a game. Its night and day compared to the S4.
My cousin has the one. YouTube takes at least 2 more seconds, worse quality, and skips.
Games skip/lag, and loading time is longer for the One.
You gotta take the good with the bad with either phone.

That is true, the YouTube app is much more solid on the GS4. But one small thing is that I get this huge black bar at the top of my YouTube app when I switch from portrait to landscape. Anyone know how to fix that?

That's just the app itself. That's not even a problem. If something like that REALLY bother you, then you're EXTREMELY anal about things.

Haha this is funny because I had to log on the computer to reply because my app won't load right now. It seems to work a little better when I'm not connected to a wifi network, though not by much (bad network connection isn't the cause).
Mine stalls and won't load half of the time too. I usually just hit the back button, then re-open the app and it loads on the second try. Slightly annoying but still faster than using the browser.

+1 this. Idk what the deal is. Half the time it won't even load period if I am connected to any WIFI source. I get a connection fail. Even when I use the data network it hangs half the time. When I do finally get it to where I can actually reply to something the message only posts 1/3 of the time. Otherwise I get a "you do not have permission..." blah blah blah. I don't even receive notifications anymore. The only way I know if someone responds to anything is when I get an email notification in Gmail. Idk what happened to this app. It used to be awesome.
I use wi-fi 90% of the time and don't have trouble loading any other app.

hey man no problem, I'm like you, I rip all that crap out!! lol even the custom roms, but sometimes when I miss calls at work, I don't bother just dialing the voicemail and next thing you know, I get the message over a week late lol gotta love the space it all frees up too and speeding up the phone and saving battery life for sure
again good posting up of the pics for people to actually see and follow along
