When I visit a site, (especially xda) with the new nexus 7 it keeps refreshing constantly, like it'll load the page up but after like 10sec it'll refresh the whole page I think it might be the ads causing it to do it but its just a guess.
I'm Using chrome.
Yup I think its to do with the ads on xda, I just downloaded the app from the play store, solved that issue, but it really needs to be fixed, I made a post about it yesterday, its extremely irrigating

Perfect, It worked! I just tried the XDA 2013 beta 1024, and it works as well. Thank you very much for pointing that out.
Duplicated Thread
This same issue is also tracked at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382516. Any moderator care to combine the two?

Hey everyone. My first post and I'm excited to have changed from CM7 to CM10! Thanks to the devs btw for making this possible. Anywho, I've searched for this already on here an Google to no avail. I've installed the Facebook app on my IC2 and for some reason, it looks like entirely different than the original. Doesn't look the same. I've provided a snapshot of it so hope it helps. And it's not just the layout that's changed but even my cover photo isn't visible. Anyone know what's going on?

Im having that issue too, I just went back to friendcaster
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
mine did that when i came to PA, after a restart or two it gave me the option to update my facebook app and it went back to normal
Yeah unfortunately hasn't given me the option to update... yet. Hopefully it does in the near future...

I thought this was the normal look for mobile? I haven't seen any other versions.

I think it has to do with what the Facebook servers are giving you on cm10. I think its because jelly bean devices are all higher resolution than ours. It does it on the mobile website too, but if you change the user agent to iPhone on your browser it will look normal.
Phantom, parts of it look the same. But with the current version of Facebook for Android, I guess you could say that my layout for my wall looks entirely different. If you check it out on the Play store, mines doesn't look like that. Only the top portion seems to be okay. I don't even have a cover photo! But it's more of an annoyance than anything.

Yeah, I'm actually glad people know what I mean. I'm starting to agree with that. Probably explains why when I go to the Facebook site on the browser it sends me to the Facebook full site instead of the mobile. Hope they fix it soon!

So just thought I'd like to give a last update for this before I leave it floating in cyberspace... I upgraded to Global 4.1.2 JB and my Facebook layout came back. So basically everything is back to normal... I think. Maybe it was just a CM9 thing but cheers!

Sooooo.. one LAST update, I promise. Switched back to CM9 Psycho because CM10 right now was just too buggy for my phone. Everything with Psycho has been awesome, including camera. Anyways, that also brought me back to the original Facebook that I had when I started this post and it basically reverted but I rather have a stable phone than a distorted Facebook look. But I guess the problem just comes with CM9 altogether. Anyways, cheers! :silly:
i just use friendcaster its better all around anyways. may not be pretty but its hella functional. im sticking with that till we get a native fb app like we were promised.
I'm trying to use friend caster but the ads are killing me. I tried using lucky patcher to remove them but had no luck

Anyone download the new maps? I just received the update via the play store last night ... downloaded it and it's slow as heck! Runs much slower (fps-wise) than the previous maps. Also several features are hidden / removed...
Thoughts?
EDIT: Added APK

Map Caching still there
Map Caching is still there... but its an easter egg right now...
Search for "Okay Maps" and it'll copy it to the clipboard, aka the cache.

The first link below is for the Article about the Update for Google Maps. It also contains a link to the apk. The second link is for more information explaining about the features that are missing.
Google Maps v7.0.0
New Google Maps Offline Maps Still available
so this update removes Navigation and incorporates it into the maps app, then tells you that the "maps navigation" is in beta and to use caution. nice

Well WTH! I wonder why it seems so sluggish on my phone. I just ran a quick quadrant test to make sure everything is running up to snuff and got a nice ~5600 or so, so no issues there. Everything else seems in line, and the old maps ran fine too.
So you don't find the frame rate to be slow or anything? I wonder what the heck is going on with my phone. Perhaps I should reboot after updating..

I'm wondering why the features besides caching map data found in labs appear to all be missing. I'm particularly missing the "measure" feature that allows me to measure distance as the crow flies between any two points. I'm also bummed about the bigger text option disappearing. Obviously there are lots of cool new features and I love the new interface but wish they didn't remove features that were already buried in the labs section.

I hate it. I used Latitude and they retired it claiming you could use Google+ for the same thing. Well you can't. My Google+ locations (with everything enabled), just shows my icon against a grid. There's no map underneath like they advertise.

The above links work and you can also find it by going to the Play Store in a web browser and then clicking on the gear icon on the right side and then you will see the Android Device Manager there too.
This seems useless after I change my Google password (which would the first thing to do since thief has my phone as a authenticator).

The tablet optimized Twitter app which was revealed at this years IFA has now been leaked and is now available for download.
I haven't tested this but it'll work fine anyway.
*NOTE* If you get any errors of FCs while installing, uninstall the original Twitter app and then try installing this again.

My bad didnt saw that, its working fine now
I keep getting redirected to the play store and other websites when I'm on xda with my nexus 7 and on my phone.
Also every time I move a page up or down the page refreshes and I have to move the page again to see what threads are at the bottom of the page. It is getting to the point where I'm thinking of deleting my xda bookmarks and not bothering with the site on my tablet.
All other websites are fine by the way. I have avast installed and I'm using chrome.
Please help, thanks.
