Okay I`m having issues when I have say just 2 XDA tabs open. Either on FireFox or Chrome.
Well anyway Say if I open another tab or refresh one of those tabs it will kinda freeze and sit there then load instead of a sec it should take to load it takes about 10 sec cause of the freezing.
Okay Before yal say its the computer..
I have restored my computer about a month ago, Still have the issue on a clean install.
Also my specs are not low for this to be happening
Windows 7 Pro (Legal Copy)
2GHZ Intel Core i7
8GB Ram
2GB nivida Geforce
7200 RPM hard drive
and so on.
But this happens on all computers even my main(my best) computer which are the specs above I have this issue on firefox and chrome.
Anyone Else?

XDA is going through some changes to the system, and as a result of the this it is causing some problems to the site, such as lag, loss of search e.t.c.. This will all go away when they have finished, but the new changes will be worth it.

If I can I`ll try and make a video of the issue
Heres a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbnehmReSks
When i go to your video, YouTube says "this action isn't allowed"
Regardless, get an ad blocker. It will solve your problem.

Occasionally XDA undergoes some slight changes and slows to a crawl for a short time. This is normal as the system is updated and search is indexed. However, if this is occurring frequently across multiple systems for the extended period you describe, then your video would help to diagnose the problem. If you log into your video's settings menu on YouTube, you should be able to set the video to public, or at least mark it as unsearchable. This way you could simply embed the video here or provide the link.

Honestly, it looks like a lack of RAM. Chrome is extremely memory intensive. It used to be lighter, but the recent updates that put tabs into their own processes made it more memory hungry overall. Five or six months ago was when that change happened, if I recall correctly.

I know what you mean. I occasionally have lots open as well, but experience no issues.
I have 5 tabs open now and had a dozen opened earlier when I was updating my radio thread. No lag, no issues. Similar to your specs except Win 7 Ultimate I got when I worked at MS last year. FireFox 12, up to the latest updates. I do have the ads turned off though in the same fashion the mods do as one of the "recognized" program benefits.
I have this in my guide post but thought it needed its own post. If you have a capped data plan then you definetely need to check this out.
It has basically turned my 4GB plan into a 20GB plan!
The SuperUser's Guide: How To Extend Your Data Plan
Onavo Extend lets you get more out of your data plan, so you can do more web browsing and apps, consume more music, video and photos on 3G without breaking your data cap.
After you install Onavo Extend you can go back to using your phone or tablet as before. In the background, data usage from all apps and web browsing is compressed so that you do more with your Android’s mobile data month after month. And, if you travel abroad with your phone, the money you save could be substantial.
IF YOU'VE INSTALLED A CUSTOM ROM:
Some ROMs and kernels are missing important networking support that Android 4.0 APIs, and Onavo Extend, rely on.
If you've received a message saying your version of Android is unsupported, or if the application always says "service paused", please contact us via the "Feedback" menu item so we can help.
Trying a different ROM or kernel should help as well
Be sure to post your results! Be sure to include which ROM you are using!
Woow !! i download the app now & i'll report back later

no worries, it works though. Look at it this way, what do you have to lose?
I have verified it is working for me with 3rd party data trackers, and Verizon's own data tracker.
The great thing about it is you can turn it on and off. It also turns itself off when you are on wifi.
After running it for a week while I was on vacation and used very little wifi I definitely noticed a difference. I watched a Netflix episode of IT crowd, and few YouTube videos and saved over 1MB of data.
I have used it with news apps, Facebook, twitter, Netflix, YouTube, radarscope, weather bug, instagram, and mms pics.
The only issue I ran into was on the local news 9 app. Some images appeared as black boxes. If I adjust the photo quality to higher the images appear just fine though.

Good review here, showing how it works and stuff:

may save you data, but I wouldn't trust any app that you have to give full access to your network traffic. Looks like spyware to me.

1 Megabyte?
I'm sorry, but i'm calling bull**** on that. There's no way on this planet that anything would compress a half hour episode down to that little.
I'm sure it probably works to some degree and compresses the data in a similar way to opera mini and skyfire and various other browsers that use proxies to compress stuff, but i think you may have read it wrong to come up with 1MB!

I agree, and even if it was why would a company provide such powerful servers that can do this sort of compression for free? There are only two ways the company could support themselves. 1. Advertisements 2. Sell user data like google does. I don't care about either so I'm downloading it.
I got a 10GB plan so no need for me but just out of curiosity has this worked for anyone?

Dakota0206 said:

Well, if you meant to say that you saved over 1 MB, that calls to question how you know this. Did the Onavo app tell you? Did you check the size of the netflix episode and compare your usage? Or some other way?
Also, a netflix episode could range from like 50 (if cropped for small screens/resolutions) to several hundred megs. Saving 1 MB in such a setting is hardly 5x the data, and shouldn't really be worth your time.
Now, I've come across this app before, and there are always people who like it and claim it works. What these people fail to ask themselves is HOW (the hell) it could work. If you think about it, about the only stuff on the web that isn't already pretty heavily compressed are html/text files. And they make up a really tiny part of your overall usage.
Also, compressing stuff is very cpu intensive. Unless ONAVO has a huge server farm somewhere, which processes every bit sent to and from every one of its users (not likely), the compression happens on the fly on each device. Even if that would work, it would really strain the cpu and drain the battery in no time.
Therefore, to quote a wise man, I wouldn't touch this app with a ten foot pole.
Sorry for the long post/rant.
No ones forcing you to try it. But its actually using amazons EC2 stack. Opera browser uses this same thing to save data usage.
Lol do you think this is some conspiracy theory? Onavo doesn't save any data, except if you want email compressed and then its asks for your permission.
Ya on video it didn't save a ton. But it didnt slow down the streaming either. Where I have noticed the most saving is text based apps like tapatalk and news apps.

Well, I should have checked how it actually says it works, mea culpa. Still, the fact holds that 5x savings is a pipe dream in real usage and savings are marginal at best. But if you wanna use it, knock yourself out.

Gameloft games are made for maximum profit, they're the EA of mobile gaming. They forced their employees to work long hours, while this is the norm for gaming industry, 120hours a week has been quoted. They have poor users policy as well. They will purposefully make older games incompatible with newer devices or take them off the market even though you purchased the game and the device can run it, to promote their new ones. They originally charged 99cents for Asphalt 8, but the game is designed as free to play, as in you play for long hours to gain points/money in order to progress or upgrade and utilize in game purchases that way, milking more money from its users that way.

Try disabling AdBlock or Ad-Away. I was also mad about this and the problem was a hidden AD on top of the Menu.
The game is stuttering on kit kat 4.4 builds, the car seems to going back on high velocity. Wierd.

Really? Well thank you for the advice and info but i will certainly not disable my ad blocker for a paid game to show me ads i haven't had before. Also disabling is not that easy in my case since the ad blocker is included within my ROM (ARHD for HTC One). In order to disable it i would have to completely reflash it which i'm also not going to do just for this insolence on the part of Gameloft.
In what way is this even legal procedure by Gameloft making me pay for a game first and patching it to unplayability with an unrestorable update later on?

Hey everyone,
I just set this up today and it worked great. I am a Steelers fan, but I live in Bengals country. That means I don't get to see many Steelers games, because they aren't broadcasts locally on TV.
So I used a GPS spoofing app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.fakegps.fre
And a Chromecast dongle hooked to my TV:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app
And the NFL Mobile app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gotv.nflgamecenter.us.lite
Enable "Mock Locations" in Developer Options.
Open Fake GPS app and enable a location where you know your game is broadcasting.
Open NFL mobile app and voila!! You now have access to the local games being broadcast on FOX and CBS for wherever you set your fake GPS location to.
You also need to enable "Screen Cast" in the Chromecast app, so you can mirror your phone screen to the TV. Set your screen timeout as high as you can.
I'm sure someone has already done this, but this was my first time, and it worked like a charm.
You may have to kill the NFL app to get it to switch locations as you change your fake GPS location. I always set my location first, then make sure my NFL mobile app is completely killed. Then just restart the NFL app. The new games should populate in the watch now section.
Hope this comes in handy to someone!

Chromecast part not working anymore just an fyi they blocked it
Got a work around!
I just got an Amazon Fire Stick and messing around with it. I installed koush's beta mirror apk on my note 3 and all cast on the stick. Connect it and then open up nfl mobile apk. The t would of course start saying it can't be mirrored etc. That's when you open up Multiwindow with something like chrome in the other window. Click back and fourth between the two and viola should be able to stream. It might take a couple tries and I had a couple of times where sound wouldn't catch up just shut beta mirror and reopen and try again. I cancelled cable due to never watching it but needed my fix. Of course it's a little laggy and not perfect but it's a work around that's watchable! I don't have a chromecast but seeing as this was two apks I downloaded and installed off the store it shouldn't matter. Hope this helps someone I k of its the end of the season but you should still be able to get probowl/superbowl/nfl now/nfl network etc to work and probably other programs that block mirroring I haven't tried but hey can't hurt. Who'd thunk touch wiz would actually be a benefit for a change!

Anyone get YouTube Module iYTBP for Magisk to work? I've never used this particular method before. I manually downloaded the latest ARM64 variant and tried the ones listed in Magisk downloads as well . I'm not sure if its just broken for our device at the moment or I'm doing something wrong. If some has another method for removing YouTube ads you be appreciated. Thanks
Try Youtube RED hahaha
Couple ways. YouTube Red of course which is what I use now. But I used to use pi-hole on my home network
Yea, their ads are getting out of hand.
Root it, then use an aggressive HOSTS file. This one is not bad http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
Remember to convert the format of the hosts to Unix. In Notepadd++ that is EDIT --> EOL Conversion --> UNIX
If rooting is too much, go with a DNS blackhole. Raspberry Pi Hole is the easiest.
Or you can setup DNS on a Windows Server, then import the domains from the hosts file using this: https://cyber-defense.sans.org/blog/2010/08/31/windows-dns-server-blackhole-blacklist
Another benefit of a DNS server is that you can log all the DNS lookup requests from your Pixel 2, iPad, Smart TV, etc. Then block the **** out of them.

I was having issues too. What worked for me was uninstalling updates for YouTube, and when it prompted to return the app to the stock one that came with the phone, I said yes and it finally worked.
The best adfree solution to YouTube IMO is this:
https://www.official-plus.com/ogyoutube
Not only do you get YouTube adfree - you can do picture in picture without YouTube red AND you get an extra button to download the video in mp4 or just the audio in mp3 if you wanted to! AND ROOT NOT NEEDED! 1st install MicroG APK, then install OGyoutube APK, give permissions, and done lol.
Best YouTube experience yet. Please give this a try, you will forget all about the YouTube adaway module.
BTW, I'm on Oreo 8.1 developer preview 1, unrooted, locked bootloader, stock recovery and still works great. Has extra settings and options not originally in stock YouTube too. And they're all handy =-)
P.S. I been using this for YouTube all week (just got my pixel 2 xl) and haven't seen a single ad yet.
Honestly, pay for it or deal with it. A lot of these creators spend hours and hours creating content for you to enjoy. Those ads pay for that time. And not nearly enough I might add. It's 5 to 20 seconds of your life or 10 bucks a month.
Guys, I live in Russia, so there's no way to legally use YouTube Red. Here's what I did:
1. Rooted with Magisk.
2. Removed system app YouTube.apk.
3. Downloaded modified YouTube iYTBP and put it into the system folder.
Magic! Everything works fine including picture-in-picture mode. No ads!

Anyone get YouTube Module iYTBP for Magisk to work? I've never used this particular method before. I manually downloaded the latest ARM64 variant and tried the ones listed in Magisk downloads as well . I'm not sure if its just broken for our device at the moment or I'm doing something wrong. If some has another method for removing YouTube ads you be appreciated. Thanks

Just use they're non root version and install apk and everything is fine. Doesn't matter if you're rooted or not.

Now the wall of "it's not supported in my country" and other excuses will come.
This is what society is now. Would rather rip everyone off to save themselves a 40 second ad

I was having issues too. What worked for me was uninstalling updates for YouTube, and when it prompted to return the app to the stock one that came with the phone, I said yes and it finally worked.

Lol well it's a valid point. I live in Canada and pay for Google play music, which comes bundled with YouTube red for those in the States. Why should I pay the same amount of money to get less features than someone in the States?

Because that's the way life is some times? Move to America so you can save $15 a month. See if it's worth it lol

Would you mind sending a link to the correct APK version to me for the Pixel 2 XL? I'm rooted with Magisk if that matters. I looked on their download site and there are like upwards of 8 files for just about every version of the APK.
