Facebook apk

I know the Facebook apk that has best notifications is the 1.6.4. But does anyone have a previous version that has working notifications but faster loading fb? I'm always on edge so I got curious. 1.6.4 works great but on edge is also a pain.
I use the browser version in opera mini (Fastest fb can ever get) but I don't get notified about my notifications so I need the app :/

The updated version uses HQ images. Which logically take WAY longer to download. The notifications are awesome but the whole app consumes A LOT of ram. 15MB+. More than my launcher.
If I have an older version with working notifications and just lighter over all, it'd be really awesome.

My recommendation is to use Opera. Its way faster. Honestly the fb app just pisses me off. I get a notif and when i click on it..it takes ages to load.

Do you use Edge or 3G while using it? I'm looking for a version light on edge and working notifications :/
EDIT: I can't download from 4shared. It gives me issues :/

Hahaha.. And it's free too right?
I also delete my fb.. It's take too long to loading..
But 5 days without fb make me so boring n i've read all section and post on xda( galaxy ace)
I'm still alive just because my ACE still in my hand..

If you want a fast lightweight app which is easy on mobile data then get Tinfoil for Facebook. It's an optimised private version of the mobile Facebook site (No cookies in the browser). Although it doesnt support notifications, the dev has publicly stated that he is working hard on it. The more people we get to use this app, the more incentive it is for the dev to build the app to support notifications

Is this only with Fb or any other webpages ?

I have the same issue on the other sites but i think only where are pictures... but on fb lag is bigger.
P.s. i have that lag on tapatalk, too... on the page where are topics with pics of users.
Is there some app to record that lagging?

zScreenrecoder lets you record your screen .

You can't record the lags perfectly. And does any other browser lag? Like Boat or stock browser? Because browsers that are supposed to save bandwidths - ie UC/Opera are a bit choppy on any phones, IIRC.

I tried stock browser now and it doesnt lags. So i suppose that problem is the apps?
Stock browser and chrome are better than UC browser but they don't have a home and exit button. That's the only reason why I'm using UC.

Try Boat Browser then? I'm using that at the moment. And does have exit/tab restore and the whole jazz. Can vouch for the smoothness. I guess it's how the apps are, yes. At least with UC/Opera.

HTC 10 Lag

Hi
I face a heavy lag while google market update my apps, dose any one have the same issue ??
is there any solution for it??
If I unlock my phone and instal custom ROM the lag will be disappear?
Thanks.

It's normal I think. My phone lags also when installing a downloaded app especially heavier apps. Of course this lag is minor and doesn't keep me from doing what I have in hand.

I have no lag at all on Leedroid. You didn't give any details about what your running, so I would say it is some app or your setup causing it.

Not normal to have lag on this phone. I get lag on my 5yo tablet. Restart phone (sorry have to suggest that lately). Maybe try an app like ccleaner to clean up. Clear cache from playstore app. Lastly do factory reset and see if that fixes it. If factory reset fixes it, try to notice when issue begins again.

Do you have adoptable storage enabled?
I have a stock HTC 10 and don't experience this. If you have adoptable storage and a slow microSD card it's probably the culprit.

A5 Oreo weird animation performance

Everyone is talking about the better UI fluidity since Oreo update. I also was thinking that the moment I updated the phone and performed the factory reset. It was amazing at the beginning.
However, after a few minutes of usage (I don't use any accesibility services, and just a few background processes Wa,snap, insta,fb lite) the animations became laggy: pulling notification drawer, opening apps (especially for multitasking), scrolling.. it looks like an fps drop.. but it isn't really. Like I'm using the J3 or J5...
It's not that bad, but it's irritating me since MM and N were noticeably smoother. It was like this before & after factory reset.
Sorry for long post, does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas what to do?

Reflash?

I updated it via OTA. Knox and the warranty are important to me.
Are your animations perfectly smooth even after few days? They weren't pefect before, but now they are sometimes good and sometimes not.

I'm using oreo too but I don't experience such problems. Unfortunately, I don't know what your problem could be too. ☹ Maybe you could observe your CPU load & RAM usage when the phone starts lagging and post them here?

Okay so these are the same apps I was using since MM. However I don't know how to post CPU usage.
The problem is I feel like the phone isn't optimised like before. It's responsive and it's the same speed, but animations look bad. They usually aren't smooth enough and for example opening-closing instagram stories is like someone stabbing me. Can anyone check that who's using IG?

RAM usage seems to be normal. For the cpu usage you have to download a separate app e.g. AIDA64.
As far as I understand, the lagging appears everywhere, not only in the Samsung related apps (launcher etc.), is that right?

Not all apps. Samsung Internet, Messaging and Youtube work perfectly. But Launcher, Transitions, Recent apps, Notification drawer, Twitter, Instagram - they have tendency to skip frames.
The CPU usage is pretty fine, half of the units are sleeping.
The phone is perfectly usable, but I definitely prefer the old reliable animations. I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem.. :crying:
My biggest concern about buying Samsung was the fluidity since I was coming from Sony and it was pretty fine until now..I sometimes feel like having an OCD using the oreo firmware

If you just flash via odin, neither knox nor warranty will be lost, just make sure you flash your country's firmware.

I flashed it and wiped data. It's literally the same. Like I did nothing at all. The same applications tend to skip frames, and I still don't know if all phones are like this or not. If anoyone can also check whether Twitter swiping tabs is laggy on Oreo or Instagram closing stories - I'd be thankful.

It doesn't seem a software issue now. No, the a5 2017 devices do not tend to have those issues, all the A 2017 series are known by the excellent performance. Take it to warranty and hear what they have to say about that, it is not common for that to happen.

I am 100% sure that the hardware is okay. The performance is still excellent. The animations aren't optimized for me since Oreo. Do you know if I can flash Nougat or MM over Oreo without losing knox with the same carrier?

Not a chance, you may end up hard bricking your device as a downgrade with Samsung since Nougat is not being possible. Also your knox could be tripped, reason why I suggested to go to warranty. If hardware is ok, but software is not functioning, you may get a replacement or they need to do something about that.

Yup I tried that already on MM, it makes things worse, not for my phone but for all cause this phone isnt s series and can't handle fast animations, it can barely make these 1x smooth. 1.5x works more smooth but it's just too long.?

Not really but I think it got better. Try disabling every backup and sync option on Samsung cloud. If you dont need it at all you can disable/uninstall it via ADB - my phone feels better after I unchecked all the sync and backup options.
In Secure folder go to Apps and disable Google play services, Google play store and everything you can when not in use.
I also use Brevent. You can look it up - it uses adb permission to prevent chosen apps from running in the background. It's a great tool.
All this should help but won't fix some of the poorly optimized animations.

I have the same problem.
Anyone can solve it?

Pie ram Management

I Just updated my s9 to 2crli software
I feel like i have 2 GB of ram now
Cant hold any apps in ram, even with just chrome and messenger it happens to refresh
Is it just me or its a problem of Pie itself?

Yes it's just you. I tried testing mine just now.
Apps I left in the background:
Samsung internet on google website
Play store in a specific app
Galaxy apps in a specific app
Gallery in a specific photo
Facebook messenger in a spefic chatbox
Facebook app in a specific photo
Netflix in a specific movie
And now Im typing this stuff and tried to ope them again and they were all still in the same place.
What I'd suggest you to do is a factory. Senior member XDA Detection mentioned, major OS updates leaves bugs, requiring a clean fresh restart.
