Has anyone found a way to run multiwindow on Pokemon Go (or any other app that doesn't naturally have it) without root?
Won't work, don't cheat.

Server Lag from so many people playing. What what I've analyzed is the app doesn't cache very well casing unnecessary server load dude to be Niantic, they just such at making applications. I've seen some 10 year olds make better games.

Anyone know of anything? I've spent a good part of my day trying to find an alternative to Mobile Defense with no luck. I would rather not put all my information out there and txt messaging would be a good alternative to using an internet connection. SU access is no problem.
So you want to turn on your GPS by sending a text message to your phone?
check out the app on the market called wheres my droid, its free and does what your asking i found it last night so i am not sure if it does what it says or not but its worth checking out.

Yup, that way if I ever lose it somewhere I don't have to worry about the GPS being off. If that happens you're stuck going by what towers it's pinging and that will give you a 3-5 mile area.

Where's my Droid is what I was going to use to get it's location. Only thing is the GPS has to already be on for it to work.
ah i didnt know that, like i said have only had it since last night, but id say that with SU access you should be able to do anything so im sure someone with more knowledge then me can come up with an answer but i doubt that it cant be done.
I've read (and I could be wrong) that leaving GPS on all the time won't kill your battery like you'd think. It only uses resources when it's actually getting GPS data, which is signaled by the GPS icon in your notification bar. I've been leaving mine on all the time for weeks, and I still get 36+ hours of normal usage just like I did when I was clicking it off all the time except when I wanted to navigate something.
And then you could use Where's My Droid's GPS feature.
Try Lookout and see if it suits your needs.
Only have one window open and my internet seems to be draining alot of memory and cpu usage and setting of my watchdog. How do i stop it? Recently cleared all the cache and cookies.
I would also like to know if I find anything out I'll let you know but in the mean time I think it depends on what you are viewing like facebook is an extremely large site with a lot of traffic.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!
are you positive it is your internet. many process and apss run in the background so just because you only have internet open at the moment does not mean it is the internet for sure causing the problem.
what watchdog message is comign up when it goes off?
What browser are you using
are you using 3g or 4g
do you always have mobile data (3g or 4g depending on what you are using when the drain is happening) on?
Do yo have a process monitering app such as system panel?
I am going to assume you ahvent gone to that detail yet. I highly recommend getting the paid verion of system moniter if you are having this kind of issue as it lets you run a history of the top apps using cpu/power. it also lets you see a nice battey graph and shows you all process running wether they are active or inactive and how much cpu time they are using.
It makes diagnosing these kinds of problems much easier.
Stop using the internet. This should solve the problem.
Seriously though. Browsing the web with your EVO does all the things that suck the most battery. Graphics, 3G, 4G, Wifi.

It happens in both 3g and 4g. Watch dog pops up and says internet usage is at 71% would u like to close it? I say yes.
I have systsm panel lite...sometimes it works but alot of time it doesnt. Your most common apps just reopen up it seems like. Thank you for your help.

Ahhh this is the answer i was looking for ( fart noise ). Pay$ 40 extra a month for internet usage and to be told not to use it. Thats like buying toilet paper and never wiping your ass.
I've noticed that a couple apps don't seem to work over the 4G connection, namely Evernote and RssDemon. They don't think I have an active connection.
They both work great over 3G and Wifi. Syncing RSS feeds over 3G is slloooow.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Not with those specific apps, but with Dr. Web antivirus this also was the case...it wouldn't update over 4G. All you can do is comment or write the developer and ask them to fix it. It's a relatively easy one, I would think.
Did they fix the antivirus?

Yes, in the last update. But there were some app updates where they didn't. You have to be persistent sometimes. Heck, an old Netflix queue app I used had a WiMax specific setting way before they did, heh.
Just wondering, because I've been fracking with this tablet for a few days (since the great Staples sale) and so far have had zero luck getting the GPS to work without wifi. Anyone had any better success?

Hi
To use the device without wifi you need to install a navigation app, I use navfree with this app you can download (cache) maps and zip codes. Run the app with wifi on, check its function then disable the wifi, you should find the navigation will still be working. I always start the navigation app with wifi access as it needs to contact its server, once completed your free to go, sans wifi.
I use Fastergps.apk by Dominik Schurmaan with this app you can select your GPS region this worked for me when my GPS would not lock on to any satellites.
hope this helps
I also just got one of those Staples deals on the Archos 80 G9 ($125)
I was recommended to use a GPS app called "Sygic" (it in the Play Store) - there is a one time charge for Map for your region - but it works rather well - no need to a 3G connection or WiFi.

Yes, I installed Sygic in my G80 G9 4B ( bought in Staples ) and it works great but the maps is stored in internal storage so there is not much memory left ( the maps and database is about 2 GB ).
Is there any way to put the map in external Micro SD card?
Umm, I know that. I've tried Navfree. I've tried Sygic. I've tried trials of several others. NONE of them work. They didn't under Honeycomb and they don't under ICS.

Do you mean that in the sense of "I've already figured it out," or the sense of "I've got the same ****ing problem" ?

I wouldn't have posted if there were useful information to be found from search . On the few posts that exist, I've tried their suggestions, and they do not work.
I'm also completely unable to use the internal GPS.
No matter how many hoops I jump through, how many incantations invoked or rituals performed, I cannot get a satellite lock at all, ever.
Here is the solution I've settled on and it works really well for me.
TBH I'd still rather use the internal GPS so I live in hope that one day Archos will fix this issue once-and-for-all.
No trouble here
I used the GPS with G Maps right out of the box. I had to pre-cache my maps over wifi but it satellite locked quickly with the app turning on and off with the screen as I went. This was before I flashed and it works just as well now.
Worked so well I took Maps off of my Xperia Play. You just have to set Maps to cache data over wifi and look at your route in detail ahead of time. Done and done.

I got the new Samsung s6 phone. I'm having a problem with lag issues using data and not wifi.
What it does is this, when I click on Facebook or Instagram it takes a long time for it to load the new incoming information. if I am on wifi then it loads right away. I went to the Sprint store and they said it has to do with the 4G and the new Samsung phone s6.
I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I actually tested it out on a different phone at the Sprint store and I have the same results.
I'd love to hear some feedback before my 14 days is up.
I'll try to explain it a little bit more, when I click on Facebook and then I pull down on the screen to refresh Facebook I'll get the wheel of death it will last a long time then when I click on someones picture or video it'll take a long time to load it finally loads.
But compared to my s5 it just loads right away. Newport
I'll give me another example I click on Instagram then I click on me the screen and pull down so it can refresh my Instagram. again I get the wheel of death and it takes a long time to load. another example if I click on the search button for photos it takes a long time to load everyone's photos there's some type of lag issue.
When scrolling through my pictures and information on Instagram or Facebook takes time to load everyone's stuff that's why I'm thinking it's some type of lag issue and it only happens when its on data it does not happen when I'm on wifi Thanks
I think there will be a update soon I read here that others have the same issue 14 days go by quick, don't think Samsung wants a **** ton of phones back.
Dumb question but did u update instagram and Facebook in the app store. My instagram was actin weird also and i went to the app store and it had an update that it never notifyed me about.
i have this same issue. i live next to a tower and can get 20mb down with a ping around 45ms while on LTE. i open facebook/instagram and it takes forever for new content to be shown. i switch over to wifi and boom, nearly an instant load of content.
if i open the interwebs and go to facebook.com/instagram.com, the sites load with no problems.
I see an issue with notifications while on LTE/3g/cell network. when i get back on my home wifi, notifications start pouring in.
i have uninstalled the updates, reinstalled the updates. I removed myself from facebook beta program, all with no change. facebook/instagram are in system apps and cant be removed - thanks sprint, hello root.
I have the same issue, however not limited to Facebook and Instagram. Basically its from within any application other than the web browser. Google Music, Tapatalk ...all the same. Basically anything that is in a self contained app will not load in a timely manner.
Several people over at AC have reported having the same issue. Sprint is saying that it is not a known issue and is not currently being addressed. Seems like this phone will have to be returned in the next few days. Having a smart phone that cannot run any apps seems a little pointless.
In the same boat (ugh)
On my S6 I can barely do anything on specific social apps outside of the house. Web browsing is OK, Twitter is OK, can even get decent speed tests, but Facebook? Good god, I can NOT get the Facebook app to reliably refresh when on LTE. App works flawlessly on WiFi mind you. As it sits there forever the phone just gets hotter and hotter as it tries in vain to refresh. Oddly enough I have no issue getting to the Facebook web site. It is only the app itself that seems to be blocked or extremely throttled. Is there some sort of proxy Sprint is trying to send FB data through? I'm trying to figure out what the issue here is as it is very frustrating! Tried nuking the app data and setting up from scratch to no avail.
the only thing i can think of is that facebook, instagram, and the other problem apps all can not be uninstalled meaning they are in the system apps area.
if someone with root access could move the apps over or delete and reinstall the apps in to the regular app area and check if it gets better.

You might be on to something. The built in "stubs" for these particular apps shouldn't have any affect on downloaded updates but maybe, just maybe, they are somehow? Mine isn't rooted but god I hope someone out there is willing to try removing them!

Changing my post now. Facebook and instagram are being a pos after reboot. Same issues as described above. With stub removed and newest updates for both. I think its a radio issue. Nothing really loads on data.
Unfortunately, I am having the same issues on the Sprint Network. I'm currently on my 2nd S6 since last Friday. Both phones are having the same issue...extremely slow on the sprint network... works great on wifi only. When not on wifi, I can't open facebook (just hangs) or linkedin (force shuts down everytime) and in general, my spark wheel is constantly spinning and zero to 1 bar at LTE. I never had this kind of problem with my S3. Best Buy looked at it, Samsung rep looked at it (couldn't connect to it via usb because it wasn't showing a buyers code?) and I've talked to Sprint twice. Everyone tells me there's no known issue with the phone. Sprint is telling me to take the phone back again.
I only have 6 days before my 14 days are up. For the first time ever, I'm thinking iPhone 6, which sucks because I've always been on Android and love the camera on this phone. How long could it take for this to get figured out? What to do....
I don't think it a radio issue. I can get 20mb down on speed test but facebook wont work then immediately swap to WiFi and it loads fast plus the other apps work OK while on cell data.
Also, I have seen threads in att about this same issue

do you happen to have your MSL? if so, could you try and remove the sprint proxies from the phone in ##data# menu.
i want to root my phone but I want to make sure it will not trip Knox and ruin this Samsung pay hype coming up

I actually had already tried that before I made my first post in this thread. Have had my MSL since the day I got it thankfully. And no, your cell network settings have nothing to do with Knox and will never trip it.
hmm, i set my phone to use CDMA only and it appears that facebook/instagram loads faster versus LTE
Possible Solution with LTE
I think I found a temp solution for this issue that works. You will need to disable the LTE Band 41. You will need you MSL from Sprint to do this.
Make sure you have the LTE access on in the mobile networks settings
dial ##data#
click on EDIT
enter MSL
find LTE section
find Band41 Enabled
click to disable - green checkbox goes away
restart phone
enjoy
I am still getting 20mb down (i also live next to a tower) at -65dBm
my method after i got the MSL was to turn off b26 and 41. restart phone. still the same issue. turn on b26, restart phone, wooh! it works. turned on b41, restart, damn. turn back of b41, restart and back in business. i did a few restarts already and seems to be holding.
Anyone have a real fix? Band 41 being enabled/disabled has zero effect on it.
sprint has a thread concerning the same issues with HTC M9
