Develop Bugs

[APP] Words with friends

Out now in the market, but has major issues right off the bat, notably no sound or notification settings. Sort of ridiculous to launch without those!

The lack of notifications kind of sucks. Been playing it and aside from those, there doesn't seem to be any other bugs.
I do get a visual notification in the status bar but without audio, its a pain.

It keeps giving me a force close error. Anyone have any idea why? ive uninstalled plenty times, and even cleared the data. problem persists.

Email the dev

After using it for the past few days, I do get FC's on a fairly regular basis. Not so much that it makes it unusable, but definitely enough to make it annoying.
I've read some other threads and this is one of the 'bugs' that needs to be ironed out. Hopefully they have an update for these bugs soon.

It'll get updates,don't worry.

The first time I installed it was plagued with all kinds of crazy stupid bugs and connection errors.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, and notifications etc. are working so far. Haven't used it a ton yet.
I can say that so far the UI etc. really isn't very good. and FULL PAGE ADS after every turn? extremely annoying. Considering how annoying they make it with ads, im surprised theres no paid version too...

I'm sure there will be updates. Question is when. Did take them a while to get the game out on Android.
I read on their website that a pay version without all the ads will be available in the future as well.

Update now available via the market...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Update fixed many issues with closes and errors, and gave options menu for sounds and notifications.
My current issues are:
1) Even when phone is on silent, the game sounds still play
2) I'm seeing some pretty serious battery drain issues since installing the game, even though I have the notifications push at 30 minutes. I've used other scrabble-type games for a long time with constant push notifications and never had battery drain like this. I feel like the crazy amount of ads really wastes lots of battery.

The update has definitely brought on some improvements but there is still a ways to go.
I still do not get any audio notifications. The visual popup works in the status bar but nothing audible. (Yes sounds are checked in settings and volume on device, both ringer and media is up)
I'm not getting as many FC's as I was before, but that doesn't say much as they were all too common at launch.
I have also noticed the battery drain. Not sure what exactly is causing it. Over the last three days my game play has been about the same. Day 1 drain was very bad. Day 2, it was normal. Day 3, very bad again. We will see what today brings...

maybe i'm missing something. I can't get this thing to stay open at ALL. it always FC's on me before I can even do anything. I've tried on both CM6 and CM7.
Any ideas? I've emailed the devs twice.

Seems like a mixed bag for everyone. I'm sure they've gotten 10's of thousands of e-mails. Gonna be a while before its stable gotta just wait it out.

I can get audio notifications when it pops into the status bar, only it doesn't seem to be effected by the sound status of my phone, so I just turned it off for now.
I have also noticed battery drain. I've been making maybe 20-30 plays per day maximum over a few games and my battery is just tanking. Words with Friends shows up in my battery status chart as 3%-5% of battery (which in itself is bad that its actually a quantifiable amount of battery drain), but I know its gotta be draining more, even with notifications on a 30min timer. I've been using WordSmith (very similar) for a few weeks now with push notifications and way more plays with no effect on my battery life so this is a Words with Friends issue.
I should also note that the last few times I've opened the app, something regarding the banner ad at the bottom of the page crashes, and blankets the whole screen with an HTML error. Sometimes it disappears and the ad blanks out, but other times I can't do anything about it. I don't think this is related to running the adFree Android app, but who knows with the level this app is running right now.

So you think it has something to do with adFree? I'm not sure about that as it works sometimes and not others, and it used to work fine before the update and now it doesn't. Cuz sometimes WWF will load just fine with a black bar at the bottom (per usual when u have adFree installed) and I can use it fine. But i'd say about 2/3 the time I get the full-screen HTML ad error. I haven't seen this happen in any other app ever and I've had adFree for several months now. Really weird.
Decided to just uninstall. Really not worth the hassle.
Noticed instantly after uninstall my battery stopped draining. Hope they fix the issues.

I had the same problem. What I did to fix it was to go into AdFree, and hit the "Revert" button, and that seemed to fix the weird HTML errors. Hope this helps!

Adfree was causing issues for me to, I had to revert my host file and reboot for it to work again.

that's lame! I'm noticing more and more apps using the same kind of ads that wwf uses, so I hope AdFree gets an update .. =/ i hate having ads

Galaxy Note 2 lagging after a few days of use??

I got my phone last monday and today my phone was lagging while swipping through home screens, app drawer and even in settings. It was like project butter was shutdown and I was back to the epic 4g. Thought kind strange giving the specs on this phone.. I have stock jb and no root.
After a restart everything went back to normal.
Just curious, does this happen to everyone here? Is this normal to happen after 2-3 days of use?

You must not be actually closing apps just hitting home I assume but if not then idk the problem

Yes I did close them... I even tried force closing all. Not sure why the phone was struggling a little.

you didn't enable power saving mode by any chance?
also, android should be fairly good at managing your memory. i believe google doesn't really recommend task killers because whenever you kill tasks that the OS needs, it'll just reload it, which itself consumes resources (maybe more resource than letting the process simply idle). so just leave those processes alone.

Are you running SetCPU? Make sure it didn't accidentally severely under clock you. That happened to me once and SETCPU was running me at 200 mhz for some reason.

I would double check on all the apps you've previously installed. I'm still on stock JB unrooted as well since released day (Oct 25), not once I've experience any lag that yours producing. Heck I've loaded a bunch of games and apps now my main storage is down to a gig, even then I haven't noticed any slow down. This phone is a beast thats all I can say.

Yeah, thats unfortunate because if anything the phone should speed up after a few days of use. Why don't you just keep it to the 1 thread you started in the GT 7100 forum? You already got 4 pages of responses there. And post a video of what you're talking about because the phone should not lag at all with power savings off.

I didn't strat a thread there... just replied to one and it was a different are of problem anyway..
Guys.. I didn't install any task killer, I just force off using that long pressing home button and going into running apps, the phone, no power saving mode on, still unrooted and very few apps. I use Android for 3 years and I looked all the places to make sure settings would not be causing this and it was not.
Really weird problem... it's fine now I just hope it keeps running this way by tomorrow.. I'll let you all know, if anything I'll make a video if I can reproduce.

Don't close the apps down just back out of them because you'll lag more when your phone sits there trying to open them all up again and cache them. But I agree its a strange problem, if this occurs againit might be something very specific.

That's strange. Yeah I would pay close attention to the problem and if it do come back, then maybe you probably have a bad note II. You never know, not everything are created equal. In that case I would take it in for a repair person to check it out.

Is there a way to know if all cores are running on stock Android?
I've also seen some sick battery life in this phone, but not on mine. Yesterday I got 12 hours with about 3 1/2 of screen, with few and short phone calls. What I used the most on this phone was the internet and the browser..
Not sure if these are related.
EDIT.... I installed CPU usage Monitoring and the 4th core stays off most of the time.. when I opened videos and messed with more apps it started working so I'm answering myself on that. Also, I played a video with the pop up function and the cpu only gets to about 30% and not even on all cores... wow.. the processing power here is really impressive.

nope.. still faster than web download

Strange. I just downloaded an app on my note 4 and on my wife's G2. Her G2 blew mine away in how fast it downloaded the app.

I have actually been shocked at how fast mine is over my 3 to be honest..
Sent from Note 4 on Tapatalk

Yes I actually have noticed it. It's greatly delayed before it actually starts to download anything. Sometimes takes a full minute. One it starts it usually downloads it quickly. I also have the wifi going to sleep while the screen is off issue and will be getting my phone replaced though. (It still has the delay on LTE with no wifi though)

I did a factory reset and it seems to be working as expected now. I'm going to install all apps I previously had, set it up as I had before, and see if it starts delaying again.

[Q] S6 Edge Lag and stutter

So I got the S6Edge and its suppose to be lag free most of the time, but mine lags when typing and sometimes misses letters I type, also the touchwiz launcher sometimes freezes and switching apps lag and stutter, google chrome and the Samsung browser aren't smooth at all, they suffer from freeze and lag, what can I do?
Will flashing stock firmware remove lag?
Start ing to regret this phone, I paid $1000 for it and there's lag..

Yes thats what im thinking also, this supposed to bw the fastest phone amd t still lags . I had the Nexus 6 , Moto 2014 and the Htc m8 all of them with zero lag. From Galaxy s6 edge I take out the camera and everything else is a fail.

I don't have these issues. I would go ahead and start fresh.

I have no lag or stutter at all. I'm rooted.
The only issue is a not so good battery life but it's been fixed by using airplane mode at home where I literally have no signal and depend on WiFi calling anyway.
If you had to update via OTA then I suggest you re-flash the stock ROM as that doesn't seem to have issues while the OTA might have introduced a few

Yeah mine does it too. I'm very close to returning my phone. I have gone through two so far, my third one will be delivered today. If this has stutter as well along with GPS issues, I'm done. I have less than 7 days left in my buyers remorse period. So It is now or never.
I may try the M9, but I honestly think I'm just gonna use my iPhone 6 until the Nexus 2015 or Note 5 is available.

I was in your boat too. Try the suggestion above. There is something with the update they pushed that is not only killing the battery but makes the entire phone lag. Follow the thread posted above and clear cache and do a full reset. I was literally going to go get an M9 2 days ago before I did this. Entirely different phone now. I got 15 hours today with over 4 hours screen on time and zero lag.

Okay cool I'll give it a try. On another note though it appears to have been hardware issues. My GPS was broken so it kept seeking location which dropped my battery way down. It also just couldn't find my location. I have cleared cache and done all that jazz with it and even used GPS Fix to no avail. So far this new replacement seems to be doing the job.
I'll take a look at not doing the OTA.

Just to clarify once you do the ota update you will want to power off the phone and then hold the volume up + home button + power button. Once booted into clear cache and then do a factory reset.

Just my two cents, I think this is a memory leak issue. I've seen the phone start to get bogged down but with a quick restart, the smoothness returns as it should. I'm hoping that 5.1 will fix this memory leak.

If all else fails try this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3079176
Helped clear up a lot of things for many people. My main issue was fast battery drain. Seems to be a lot better now. I'm a pretty heavy user so this helped me.

I would go ahead and start fresh.

App restarts / kill

Does anyonr have a problem with your device like on me. Basically I play games, it will lag hard and kill the app and i have to restart again the game. On Fb messenger and other apps, whenever I'm typing, it will randomly restart the app..
I'm very confused, it wasn't doing this before march update.

I feel like I"m having similar issues....perhaps since the April 2018 Security Update?!? I first noticed that Words With Friends kept bumping me back to the "select a game" screen, and then I noticed that the Yandex Launcher would crash regularly (and restart). I switched to the stock Pixel Launcher, but it seemed like things were restarting themselves -- even articles within Google Now. Just really odd behavior. What really gets me is that most of these issues appear to happen MUCH more frequently at night than during the day, which is f*cking nuts, I know.
Not quite sure what to do.

I don't know how i did it. But i re "flash-all" my device. Like 3x and got no more problem. Do not sideload it.

I think it's the April update.
Have two on family account, and both are 100% stock, no mods. They both occasionally reboot Messages, Maps, and a few other apps....
