What the heck is wrong with Facebook app?

Using cyanogen rom and Facebook keeps loading and never opens unless I reboot. This phone is fast why can't it open Facebook?

Pretty much.

After two attempts at theming it, I have declared it the worst written app on android.

It seems the only way to make it work, potentially, is to build a ROM around it

just use m.facebook.com

it seriously is the worst refutable, if you can call it that, app

The app is so freaking slow, you are probably better off with out it opening.
Maybe after the IPO Facebook will have enough money to afford to have someone fix it.

The annoying part is that the iOS app works flawlessly. No love for Android :-(

Agree with the above. Does anybody use slacker radio I think it works alot better on ios also but my GN is definitely faster in the same area's as my iphone 4 was.

Its probably the WORST app EVER. Someone should go take a **** on Zuckerbergs chest tonight.

+1 for m.facebook.com. terrible terrible app. Of course, just like Spotify, Android takes a back seat with the devs. Anyone know why this is? I would assume with Android being more widely used they would at least try to make the android apps functioning.

I have an iPad and use the Facebook app,; trust me, its crap on that, too. It loads a little better than the Android app, but it kicks me out the application constantly. The teams in charge of the mobile apps are doing a poor job.

Mind Map app

Didn't find any recent posts on this so I thought I'd post. Does anyone have a favorite mindmap program for their Note2? I really liked Thinking Space on my Note1 before it was acquired by Mindjet.

There is an app from Mindjet that works pretty good on the Note 2.

I use it for free. Just use an app like DropSync to keep the /mindmaps folder synced, and go into the settings of Mindjet and disable the nag screen. No account with Mindjet is necessary.
All I paid for was the pro version of DropSync.

iSheep have different mentality. At least where I work... "But... wait... how... Wait a minute, I can jailbreak and do the same, just watch me"
I am not holding my breath.

I work at JCPenney's and with former apple bigwig now running the show here, its amazing how many problems I encounter daily with CR-apple devices...
I just want to pull Ron Johnson aside and tell him to invest in XDA Devs to manage competent android devices... been waiting months for any new app, and the ones we do have have are in serious need of updating(months overdue)... to think how fast devs get things accomplished for practically nothing on XDA, while apple devs under contract with JCP take months to get anything done is a travesty

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

First, be sure to have both apps opened. Then, on one of the apps touch on the typing area, to bring up the keyboard. Write at least one letter, and it should be able to float around. I tried to make it float without writing a single letter and it won't. Maybe it's just me, but it worked as described. :thumbup:

I'm assuming your phone is rooted. If so can you upload the keyboard apk? If not I'll just download a stock rom.

I wouldn't be surprised if a jailbroken iPhone could do that. And it'd be worth more in 2 years - and it'd still be getting software updates too, which I'm almost positive our Note 2s won't be getting in more than a year. >>
However, one thing the Note 2 can do that the iPhone will never be able to do is use a stylus like the s-pen. Sure, you can use a stylus, but it's like drawing with preschool crayons.
Just thought I'd be the voice of reason here lol

I don't have a note 2. I have an iPod touch and an Atrix 4G.
Apps on the iPhone can't resize. There is no framework for it. Even if it were possible the screen is too small.
Also I haven't seen any alternative keyboards.
The iPhone has a solid, simple, smart experience, however it does not have the potential of Android. An iPhone looks nicer, works seamlessly but isn't as capable as an Android phone.

[Q] What changes did Verizon make to the HTC One?

I'm thinking about getting the HTC One but I want to know what changes Verizon's made to the device. Hardware and software changes. I currently have the Galaxy Note II and I'm disgusted with what Verizon did to the phone. Removing the WiFi toggle and replacing it with an ongoing WiFi notification that can't be disabled, removing Blocking Mode, putting their ugly logo on the home button, and making completely unnecessary changes to UI.

nothing to the hardware i dont think.
the software is raped with verizon stuff, per usual.
nothing a little root wont take care of though.
its a great device .

Also rooting this phone is very easy

none
All Verizon's bloat can be wiped out with root and a custom ROM, and it is so easy to root. Just download rumrunner, find your build number, right click in a exe file and let it go.
Get the device, i've had it for 6 months and really like it.

Think again. VZW deleted the FM App, but even if you reinstall it, you'll find that they also disabled the ability to have the headphone cord act as an FM antenna.
Result: instead of listening to any FM station in your location at no charge, you can run up Verizon data usage by an app like TuneIn.

So to this day the most updated HTC one for Verizon has an unlockable bootloader and is root able? I have the galaxy s4 and am considering buying one off contract but only if it's not locked down like the Samsung s4 is.

The specs are so close it doesn't matter... The Samsung is slightly better on paper but lags sometimes with bloated touch wiz and I think it's locked down right now.

Yes us s4's on Verizon are locked down. But we get to play around with some Roms due to Safestrap recovery. Last question. Anyone know the off contract price of the One? Only one I can find is from release day.

How to remove ads

I like the retail note 4. The screen is fabulous and its fast. However I cannot get by being inundated by the advertisments. Some are full page when I open aps and others flash at the top or bottom of the screen. Very distracting.
Is there an ap or a way to eliminate or at least remove most of the ads. Please be specific. I have gone back to my rooted, unlocked note 2. Will return the 4 if I cannot resolve this issue on the retail 4.
Unfortunitly I do not want to spend 700 for a DE note4. Thanks

I have a 180 day free trial code for the Pro version that I haven't activated yet so if someone wants it let me know.

until there is Root, there's not much you can do about it. Adblock Plus works if you're on wifi, but I noticed that it sucks more battery power and makes the phone run hotter than usual.
My solution was to sell my Retail note 4 (since with all the rebates, I only paid $100 for it), and buy a DE Note 4.

A cheaper (temporary) solution would be to use your apps in 'Airplane Mode,' assuming it is not too much of an inconvenience :good:
I usually do this when there is no paid version for an app/game :3
In hindsight I guess that it's pretty obvious lol but I'm going to leave it here anyways

I posted a link to it up a few posts, I was using it before I got my DE and it works, I did not notice any increase in battery usage either.
I still have a 180 day trial code for the Pro version if someone wants it.

I made thread covering adguard and works great. Developer even jumped in thread to explain. It creates it's own vpn.Only way to block ads on a unrooted device. Adblock will only work on WiFi without root. AdGuard works on both WiFi & Cellular!

I'm liking the free version so far. If you don't mind passing along the key for the pro version, I'd happily take it. I've been impressed with it so far.

Got to admit it, Adgaurd is working awesome. I activated the the pro trial version and it's blocking everything MOAAB or Jrummys ad blocker did. Ads and themes are the main reasons I root. No I just need a dark them and I'm set. I'll probably end up getting the one year license if we don't get root soon.
