update FACEBOOK 1.9.. sooooo damn smooth!! update people
I got fed up waiting on the Facebook app to be good and finally bought friendcaster pro. The interface, speed, and options are leaps and bounds better. And push notifications with pop ups that actually work better than the official app IMHO. Another one to keep an eye on is fast Facebook which is still in beta but very promising.

App got quite the overhaul it seems, despite the sparse changelog.
First thing I tried though was contact sync and it still tried to sync all my contacts instead of existing ones, so I guess that's still broken.
I am so pissed that Facebook is shoving crap down my throat.
I don't want a Messenger and Camera app installed with Facebook.
Tempted to uninstall it now

Seriously...
It's bad enough that I have two camera apps (Fx Camera and Instagram) now you give me another one? Stop with these redundancies and make your app more cohesive and streamlined FB.
I'm still sticking with the mobile site.
Facebook is like a virus. They called their new shortcuts 'Camera' (like Google) and 'Messenger' (like Google). What's next? Calendar and People?

They can't be disabled either. Unreal.
The most confusing thing has to be the messenger. Do they want us to use the dedicated messenger app or the one in the FB app because now there is a shortcut for both in the app drawer
Facebook need to get slapped. All there apps sucks on android. Going to get my hands on apk of facebook . Then rip that **** right out of it... Hey mark. Hope Ur reading this..

It is seriously smooth and improved. Not a fan of the "camera" app, but I already had their Messenger app installed so this just replaces it.

Yeah they want you to use the new one I'm assuming. Although it just opens the FB app and moves to that tab. If you close it then open the FB app from its main icon, you just get taken to the messenger tab. Might as well just use the app only and hit the tab manually. At least its not super slow anymore so it'll be easy.
Honestly they can instantly remedy this by giving us settings options to show/hide the Camera and Messenger app shortcuts.
Can anyone explain how I can just install a facebook apk that doesn't include the shortcut icons?
If not, im removing facebook from the phone and using the web version instead.
far out I wish facebook wasn't used by so many people because I hate it.

I deleted mine and couldn't be happier, I'm a decently social person, but I just find it a waste of time, but that is just me.
As for the a unified app, that doesn't have those shortcuts, I think I might be able to edit the apk, I'll give it a try.
Its so stupid to have two messenger icons... plus a extra camera button... is this why FB bought instagram? Just to have their own camera shortcut?

since instagram released, i have been using fb less and less.
So Facebook loads up quicker now? I've noticed after using facebook for couple of days, it'll load slower. Tried it on two gnex, same result.

Let me know how you go
I just uninstalled the app, and will use the mobile site from now on.
Is facebook also having the age-old wake-lock issue? Back when I installed it (Literally 2 months ago) I always had wake-lock issues under BetterBatteryStates called something "katana" even with manual syncing. Probably the reason why I hate the app so much.
Still doesn't load my news feed. Stupid app. Back to friendcaster!

The interface was different for a second (messenger icon on top-right, able to post a status update without navigating to a screen outside of the News Feed), but then when I went to post a status update it FC'd and reverted to the old layout.
What?

Same for me as well. Weird.
Did anyone have the slow gallery problem on Galaxy Note II? Specially when changing wallpapers using the settings. Is there any solution to it?
My gallery has suddenly gotten extremely slow too. Started yesterday. Tried clearing the gallery cache but that didn't help. I did some searching and haven't found a solution yet. If I do I'll let you know.
Very slow gallery

Mines been like it for ages, slow to the point of unusable, searched and searched but no solution at all, its really annoying now, tried differant Kernels and rom's but no luck.
Through Settings/Application Manager/All/Gallery I cleared the cache. I then used a file manager (Total Commander) to manually delete the .thumbmails directory. I also turned Facebook Gallery syncing through Settings/Accounts/Facebook.
My phone automatically rebuilt the thumbnails and after maybe half a day Gallery sped up to it' usual speed.
haven't noticed any problems on my end, seems to be as fast as day 1

Mine is slow as ****e as well. I assumed it was something to do with the Facebook galleries.
I use Quickpic though instead.
ETA: lbloo's solution worked for me although I had to clear data rather than just cache on mine.

I did it. Cleared cache. Cleared all files related to Gallery. But still it is very slow. Specially while changing wallpaper and picking picture from gallery. Thanks anyway
Now it appears that after doing above steps and I cannot select a picture for setting wallpapers. (Long pressing on screen and selecting wallpapers from gallery does not show any pictures, only place holders for the pictures. )
I have like 6400 photos on my SGN2 and i can't feel the slow init

I found it really slows down when using a custom rom. Redpill kernel made a difference though and speeds things up again.

but i just flash it with the official stock firmware and restore it to defaut factory settings. what am i doing wrong
After factory reset gallery speed improved. But still selecting a wallpaper from gallery by long pressing the homescreen is toooo slow.
I was also having a horrendous experience with the Gallery, the page would always jump up to the top and be extremely slow to load.
Solution: I used Titanium Backup to freeze the "AllShare Service", now it's all smooth!

This did the trick, AllShare is apparently trying to look at the photos to do something with with the "Change player" option, disable Allshare (which is useless anyway IMO as it's far too slow) and it sorts it out, gallery is MUCH faster and the multi-second hangs are totally gone.
AllshareCast keeps working which I actually _do_ use.
Hopefully Samsung will fix this in the future to make it useful, but for now, disabling AllShare with TB does the job.
I don't have this issue with my phone but I don't either keep more than 300 pics or video in my gallery. But I use to clear gallery data through sdmaid app

Under settings and accounts, tap the account to choose which items get synced; Picasa is one of them.

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.

Thanks for you suggestion for Boat browser, for now it's great, fast, no lagging, have flash support, exit and home button. Thanks again.
Hi, I have the latest Samsung Browser aviable for my A5 2017.
The scrolling is smooth everywgere except facebook mobile, where it gets choppy and very laggy, everywgere it is working smooth.
Any solution?
It also doesn't happen always, there must be something that triggers it.
I think it's because of Facebook not the browser. Happens to all my devices in any browser.

It may be caused due to insufficient RAM. I recommend using apps from GPlay store : Facebook or Facebook Lite .
Sorry, but theres no way that Facebook crap going to my phone...
