Nope lol. I've been google stalking it but can't find it anywhere.

I signed up.. Still waiting. I'm sure once they start sending out links for this it will be on here.

I also was able to sign up before it was closed. No word yet. Hope they're not c*ck blocking on us custom rom users.

I also missed the signups, but I hope I can get my hands on the beta version because the one they have in the market is killing me!

Any update

It's been released...

did u actually get a private beta version sent to you? 1.6 is available in the android market and its practically unchanged

Just the one that's on the Market, I guess 1.6 isn't the beta we are looking for.

Has anyone installed the update? Many comments in Market about problems since updating to this version...

Guess not! I have the update installed, no problems but there's nothing new.

Still loads of bugs,
Cant get into friends with a force close.
Messages broken, they don't sync properly.
Also to rub salt into the wound, the have FULL access to your text messages with no legitimate reason. Poor effort. Might have to find the 1.5.4 apk.

I'll keep my 1.5.1 Works good even with friends. Anything after was a nightmare.

Im using Cyanogen V7.1-RC1 and seems like LauncherPro doesnt sync my Facebook events to LauncherPro Calendar widget or normal Calendar like it used (Theres only option to sync contacts in settings) before.
Not sure if the problem occured with Nightly build 119 which I used before, but Im pretty sure it worked with that, and ofc. with Sense based roms.
Is the problem now with LauncherPro or with Cyanogen? Or maybe even with the Facebook app?

Argh!!! Its all changed!! Suddenly about 15 mins ago it seemed to completely reload and now looks "improved" For the record, I previously force closed and cleared cache / data so this is just weird.
Cons:
Friends still force closes though
Pros:
Filters on friend feed.. Yay, finally get rid of pages of stupid game updates.
Looks and feels smoother. (I'm on Wifi though)

If you are having problems I really suggest running a fix_permissions from RM or from terminal, it solves most of my problems for me. I updated a few days ago but it suddenly changed for me too. The new news feed is pretty nice and I love how I can like comments now. Pages seem to be so-so but better than nothing. Chat actually seems to be working!
I don't use launcherpro but if I'm not mistaken, it uses its own client completely separate from the official facebook app so the new update shouldn't be affecting anything.

[Q] LG G3 SMS App so slow and laggy

Hi People, I came from a G2, and I'm very impressed with G2's messaging app, its so fast, launches right away. But when I upgraded to G3, G3's messaging app is painstakingly slow...so laggy, what is wrong with G3's messaging app? I tried installing a third party handcent sms, still the same, too laggy. is there a work around?

Stock messaging app indeed is incredibly slow. Replaced it with Textra and now all is fine again

What is it slow at doing? I see no difference in the speed between the G3 and either my M8 or Oneplus One.

I am using chomp and it is almost instantaneous.

Mainly initial opening is very slow.

Trying to reply to a text quickly, when on the move is horrible.

Right, on mine it is pretty instant and the same as my other android phones. The only thing that was slow opening on my G3 was the gallery and that is much quicker now that I'm on H

Thanks, I tried go sms pro, it much faster now than stock sms app
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app

I recently got the G3 and i instantly noticed this not so much on initial launch of the app but when selecting a thread within the sms app there is a delay on displaying the texts
While using a 3rd party app is a viable option i like the stock messaging app maybe if there was an option to keep in memory would solve this

I already sold my G3, was so disappointed with the messaging app of the G3, I bought Go SMS Pro, it's zippy for awhile, then suddenly, begins to lag like the stock G3 sms app. was so disappointed and sold my G3, then bought an Xperia Z3...

SMS lag
Problem is from keyboard,
Using Google's solve laggig issues on lolipop

Problem with Facebook photos on HTC 10

Hello, may be a silly pointless question but it's annoying me already. The past 4-5 phones I've had never had this problem only when using the HTC10.
So what it is when I'm looking through a facebook photo album I can't seem to swipe through the photos properly I have to swipe right from the edge of the screen to move to the next photo. Has any one else noticed this? thanks

Yes it does this, but that's not a HTC issue. It is a Facebook issue.

Strange can't be that. It doesn't do it on my missus s7 or my old Moto X Style or my OPO. Only the HTC 10.
All I could think is the pre-installed facebook is different. May have to root and remove. Plus cannot get on with this stock TouchPal keyboard. Lol.

Yeah Facebook is the only app I have that has this issue swiping right or left in.

What version is your Facebook app? I uninstalled updates after one of the recent ones started crashing. I'm back on 80.0.0.21.65 (the one that downloads and installs when you click the app icon for the first time) and have no issues swiping through albums.
The newest version in play store is 81.0.0.22.70

Hi guys. I am having the same problem and it is driving me nuts. I have the lastest Fb version, i tried to delete it but it demands me to update the app every single time. Swiping only works from the bezzel to the middle.

Has anyone figured out how to fix this problem??

I had this issue on LG G5, Xperia Z5, S7 and HTC 10. Facebook issue definitely. Cannot see how to fix it.

for me its fixed now

which rom (and messenger) to use?

Hi all,
Please help me. I'm tired of MM, went back to Lolli and google play services is still eating a big part of my battery. I have 2 gmail accounts and facebook + messenger. All syncs are off, only the one for mail is on.
I noticed that google play seevices appear mostly when I'm on mobile data. And I don't know why, a nice while ago it was nowhere and I had 4.5hrs of sot in general, now it reaches 3hrs mostly.
Since we didn't have a lot of options for modded roms in the early life of the G4 and honestly I didn't really need one, cause it was flawless, (Sometimes I could reach 6hrs of sot using opera mini) now I'm lost and my question is: which ROM should I flash, that's clean and got rid of all of these sh*tty google stuff? The best would be a kdz version.
Or what sould I delete/disable etc? It's fvc*ing annoying.
And one more question, messenger is also a battery hog, and it wasn't like this before, and I don't really use it that much. Any ideas which version was better? Sadly I hate using it from browsers, chat enabler and fb lite are also awful for me.
I like this phone, and I don't want to sell.it, but the good battery performance is really.imortant for me, I'd like that 4,5hrs of SOT back.

to get rid of messenger.. you can use the latest beta or stable version that has built in messenger facebook app but no video call or voip calls. just facebook app with no messenger.

i dont know am on stock rom with locked bootloader.

i use social media vault pro app . 5 mb app and inbuilt features are Facebook with inbuilt messanger +google plus + flickr + twitter and all other social apps you cant even imagine.
I am using CAMUX v3 ROM ( Mine device bootloader is locked , so i do not have other options) which is smooth and xposed and V4A preinstalled . Battery life is not that good 3:30 hrs SOT but i am quite happy because i am not a heavy user.

Yeah that is good in my view. On my G2 i was getting about 5:30 hrs sot (KK) & about 4:30 hrs sot on LP after using exposed and Kairi awesome kernel (Standby time 30-40 hours). on the other hand in G4 we have to deal with a larger screen with increased PPI density .i think Its good if your standby is >20 hrs. Everybody knows G4 sucks in battery management section so it is not a big deal.

SMS APP for android phone

hi,
been away for quite some time as I have switched to iphone 6 plus and iphone 6s plus.
just bought the new note 7 and want to know if anyone can share what is the best free sms app for android phone or namely note 7

If you want the option for end-to-end encryption I'd recommend Signal.

I have been using the stock messaging app since I got the phone and it's not bad at all. I have always used Textra on my previous devices.

I've been using go sms pro. I've tried others but keep coming back to rhis one

My choice was always default or Chompsms"android"/Bitesms"ios"

I used to use Hangouts, and switched to Google Messenger a few months ago. I'm enjoying it thus far.

Material messenger. Fast. Pretty. Fluid. Closest thing to iOS messaging as far as aesthetics go

I've been using Google Messenger for a while now. It's decent but it does do the sound alert even when you have it open. I dislike this a lot and wish it just did something subtle like iMessage does but I like the clean interface so I keep it. I will say that Textra is pretty nice. My personal opinion is that Hangouts should GDIAF but that's just me.

Textra, best by far imo. Fast, neat features, customizable. Enjoy

I really like YAATA. It's very customizable.

Handcent (also called Next) SMS is my favorite. I actually DL'd and installed a bit older APK I found on google because they borked the newest update to Next/Handcent SMS somewhat, so I am using the previous version before the update. I installed all my themes I have been using for several years for Handcent and it looks and works just like I had it on my N2, N3 and N4. I really like the "private" option to put some contacts texts into a private folder separate from the main text screen. This app is so much better than messenger + or the stock sms app IMHO.

i've actually used all the sms apps mentioned here. I'm now using mood messenger. Pretty good..cute animations too hehe.

can you install all mentioned sms apps and tried them or it will crash as all will try to alert when there is sms received ?
or i must download try one for few days then delete and download another and try and see how it goes ?
sorry for being lazy to try but if anyone have previous experience, can share their experience.

I've been using android for years and while I know there are a lot of sms apps, it still surprises me how many different opinions there are on which is best. I most recently have been using textra on my note 4 and I enjoy it. But with the note 7 I decided to see if I could find a better sms app. Still looking, but thats why I came here. Textra is worth a try though.

I think you can try them all, but it will clog up your notifications with several different ones running. I disabled the stock messages app and the messenger + app and only use Handcent/Next SMS. I have tried a few others before but for me personally I really like the features, look and feel of Handcent/Next. I hear lots of people who like Textra but I personally didn't like it more than Handcent. You can try them all out for yourself though.

I like signal but they simply suck when comes to MMS. They lower the resolution on images waaaaay too much
