Hi guys, I seem to be having one hell of a lot of re draws recently, intact after everytime I close an app or unlock my phone I do have root and I wouldn't say I use massive apps either, just stuff like gmail, messaging and browsing plus occasional droidsheep or fun apps. But there is no way it should be re-drawing this often. My launcher is ADW EX, so please could I get some help guys? Thanks very much :')

Haven't seen much written about this, so thought I'd throw it out there - for those using Sense, is your Friend Stream painfully slow when it comes to loading comments, posting comments, loading people's pages, etc? I love it for the widget and how easy it is to see twitter/FB posts on the home screen, but as for actually using it interactively (pretty much anything beyond just reading posts), it takes FOREVER and drives me crazy.
I'm still running stock, so maybe it runs better on rooted Friend Stream? Idk, I'm just perplexed by why it's so slow since most everything else is blazing fast. Every time I try to comment on a post through Friend Stream it makes me want to just use the FB app or the mobile site. Anyone else?
I use LauncherPro Plus and the "Friends" Widget, which works great.
Occasionally, if there is any issue with it not refreshing (which is not very often, but does happen) I just "restart" launcher pro and then trash and replace the widget. Always fixes it.
Maybe if your using Sense just trash the widget, force stop Sense, re-add widget?

Thanks for the reply, but the problem isn't that the widget doesn't refresh, it's that when I click on a post and then it takes me to the friend stream app, the APP is really slow. Takes like a minute or two for things to process. The widget has been updating regularly.
I'm on rooted stock rom and I feel your pain. Friendstream is horribly slow when you want to do anything other than read posts in the widget. I always end up using the FB app. Sucks, but I like the FS widget.

You just described exactly where I am with the whole thing. Love the widget, but have to use the FB app for interactive stuff. It's not a data thing b/c the dedicated FB app always refreshes and loads like *that* - but the friend stream app doing anything is...like...*thaaaaaaaattttt* (i.e. really slow). In a perfect world the widget and app would be one and the same, but oh well.
I'm having the same problem with mine friend stream app. The widget is fine but the app itself is dreadful!
Lol well at least it's nice to know that I'm not the only one. I guess that's why I started the thread, to make sure I didn't have a bad apple...well that and the hope that maybe someone would have a 'fix.' Oh well, I guess we just really have to treat is as ONLY a widget.
Does anyone have issues with Facebook no longer being an option to sync on the mytouch.
I have a black mytouch and I only have the option to sync Flickr and Twitter to my friendstream and I know for a fact that you could have Facebook because it worked on my white mytouch

You should definitely be able to stream FB through Friendstream. I only use it for FB and Twitter. Not sure why it wouldn't recognize it.
Yeah I factory reset and everything and still no go.

I see that there are a lot of running apps running when I go to settings --> Applications --> Running
There are apps that are running even though I'm not using them, like Beautiful widgets, GTasks, Speaktoit Assistant, Engadget, and Maps. Like I don't have any Beautiful Widgets on my homescreen, I'm using other widgets. And I have no idea why GTask, Speaktoit, Engadget, and Maps are running when I don't have any notifications set for them. I keep closing them too but they keep coming back. Anyone know why and how to stop them? I don't think they're killing my battery, but they are slowing my phone down. Thank you
An app like juice defender plus lets you control what apps run in background. It is a paid app but I like it. It saves my battery

I know you tried a detector. Did you try Airpush Detector? That one had never failed me.
Tried that one, shows nothing.

That's it... most of it are from legit companies or Google... no idea what this could be from!
Also, the ads are for apps from the playstore - "sexy cutie (live)" and "run run bear" (both of which appear to be made by the same developer).
Thanks for your help!
It may be widgetlocker, try to uninstall it and see if you get it again

Same here, intermittent but annoying.
choosing the notification takes you to the Google play app page
Edit:
Might be GoKeyboard, I think it started after i turned it on.

Sorry. Just looked at the pic. That it's not push.
Got rid of widgetlocker and it looks like it's stopped!
I paid for widgetlocker so this is ridiculous!

Are you sure? I have widget locker on my Droid x and my kindle fire and I don't get spam.
sexy cutie - spam
I don't have that widgetlocker, but I receive this spam,
Did anyone solve the issue??? I have uninstalled GO SMS Pro, but seems like something else making it appear in the notification bar...
Go to the Play Store and download Lookout's Ad Detector. It should scan your apps and tell you.

I am guessing the same, could be Go Launcher or Go Keyboard. Coz i also have them installed.
Absolutely Go Keyboard. I used Addons Detector - Notification Monitor, and it showed:

Ditto. I use Go-SMS as my texting app and used to use Go Launcher on my GS2.
It is the Go stuff eh?
Welp, Bye bye go... eat my ass.
Thanks guys.
I already have Appex and Go Launcher installed. Appex opens with my phone. I also like Go Launcher and would like to test some other launchers like Nova. I was wondering what happens with the launchers that are not open. Do they or any of their services run in the background ? Do they anyway affect battery or cpu performance? Is it wise to have three or four of them installed?
Any opinion on the matter would be much appreciated...
they needa Little bit resource,but no worth worrying about. ithink.

Every launcher has notifications and sometimes the automatic updates could be set as default. So keep that in mind when you don't use a launcher, it should never show in the running app list. What I do to make sure, I freeze the app. Of course, you need to be rooted for that.
hope this helps

Hi,
Anyone can recommend the best android launcher for my parents? What I want to do is lock down everything except few apps like phone dialer, contacts, sms, camera which I would like to put on the home screen and that would be it, and nothing else can be accessed What happened was they would get into anything unknowingly, and messed up everything, even changed the language and turned on alarm by accident.
Thanks in advance.
