Tapatalk runs like garbage on VZW s3, anyone else? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

It gets to the point where I can't scroll down it lags so bad and then it eventually force closes. I've only heard one other person complain of this same issue with a semi solution of force closing it and clearing out cache in app manager, but it happens so frequently now. Ugh. Anyone else have this problem and maybe a possible solution?

yeah my xda app does the same thing (tapatalk hosted I think) I was wondering the same thing.

There has been threads on this.. i think the new version is broken..esp on picture heavy threads

Ran like crap on my Inc with ICS too. Just installed today's update of XDS, hopefully it's better.

Yes this is a dupe, something isn't coded properly in the app it seems. Hopefully the last update fixed it, I haven't had any issues since the update.
Edit: update did not fix it, mine just started lagging again.

Mine works great, even on pic heavy threads.
I've had the last 2 or 3 rapid fire updates. But I haven't had any issues w/ tapatalk ever.

Tapatalk has been ****ty for the last few weeks. The most recent update seems to have cured most issues, although I have the occasional lockup still.
Def not a gs3 problem though. My note and razr do the same thing.

Mine still slowed down after the update

When this happens to me I just kill the app and reopen it and its much smoother.
Sent from my Thrive using Tapatalk 2

Seems like when I ask it to do something before it's finished loading, it crashes.
Other than testing my patience, it's chugging along just fine for me. I rarely use it though.

It's the app and not our phones. Same thing happens on Nexus 7 using Jelly bean, which is super smooth in every other app. I'm half tempted to just use the website but XDA is a pretty heavy Site.

I have more of a issue that I saw the CPU used to jump to 30+% while idle

Not for me! I just came from the Motorola razr and tapatalk ran like crap on that! Runs like a dream on the gs3
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

This is why I use XDA Free 1.4.2
Didn't have any of these problems. I edited the app name so that it wouldn't bug me for updates and I've been a happy camper since!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA App

Tapatalk = garbage. Xda needs to get a mobile site so we don't have to use this trash.

When this starts happening, I suggest you go to the applicationxmanager and clear the cache for tapatalk. Clearing the cache has considerably helped the app perform fadter and smoother overall.

Little nebulous man... Was this an app?
Is it still doing it?
A screenie of battery usage would help.
The more info the better.

Indeed. You need to run Watchdog or something similar to find out which app or process is gobbling up your CPU/battery consumption. More info you give, the more the community can try to help...

Weird man. Never heard of it.
However what you can do is isolate when it happens.
Is it there on boot up?
When did it start?
What had you previously installed when it started?
Start with the latest app you installed, and start freezing/deleting apps until the process stops. I can almost guarantee you its an app you have installed. just got to figure out which one it is. Let us know what you find!
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
For now it disappeared after a full charge but I think I know what app it could have been. A app call data switcher to enable or disable my mobile data to save battery so I don't know why it would use so much?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I have had it appear a few times with a little usage. if you tap on it I think it has something to do with the sim card, so you could try a new one if this keeps happening.

The rild, if I'm not mistaken, is the radio layer or telephony interface/stack. What system version are you on, 2.3.5 or 2.3.6? Rooted, rom, etc?
rild includes the following packages: (?)
Sim Toolkit
com.motorola.phoneaddons
com.motorola.hiddenmenu
ConnMO
Programming Menu
Phone
Dialer Storage
com.motorola.setupwizard.phoneservice
Orientation Notifier
Have you tried factory reset and run stock 2.3.6 (no apps) and see if you're still having the same battery consumption?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I'm running stock 2.3.6 because im waiting for ICS instead of rooting and because of fear of bricking
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
This exact thing happened to me, same process...
What were you doing all day on your device when it started to happen?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Well it's an app, thats for sure. Could it be an antivirus program you use? And this is it's realtime protection that constantly runs in the background or something like that?
Sent from my ME865 using XDA
I had this same issue with my new Atrix 2 (running 2.3.6 and rooted). RXNDRV seems to be related to a service named "Rx Networks PGPS Seed Downloader", which per their website seems to be an app that downloads A-GPS data weekly. For some reason it's chewing up a ton of CPU time on my phone and using more battery than any other application. I disabled it and the battery issues went away.
i use a app called apptraffic free. it monitors wifi and mobile seperately. its helped me when i had a rouge app taking over.
Me too. Atrix. Sigh.
Atrix, brand new w/ AT&T, NOT rooted. Android 2.3.6
All you have to do is google "RxNDrv" and you come up with Atrix users.
It is not regular. My phone might be fine for a couple days, then one day RxNDrv will go for a drive and kill my battery in a matter of hours, and do that every day... then stop. It's. Really. Aggravating.
RxNDrv is a driver related to the gps function along TIDrv

Scrolling is very sticky

I've noticed that when scrolling through the XDA app that it is really sticky. Is it the app or my phone? I'm stock rooted with Google wallet & Google now running
Thanks

Haven't tried the XDA app, but Tapatalk is miserable. They are basically the same aren't they? I hate Tapatalk so much, but it's the only thing like it out there. So many issues like force closing, pictures not loading, lag and sticky scrolling like you mentioned. Don't know what to tell you. I've been dealing with it for almost a year now.

I've used Tapatalk as well and notice the same thing. I don't understand how scrolling text can be so sticky. It's so irritating that I tend to wait until I can get on my computer just to view the latest info.
The XDA just behaves poorly on our phone. I notice a good deal of lag within the app on a daily basis, general performance just isn't that good.

I'm not sure what's meant by sticky scrolling :-/
As in you can't throw the page when scrolling and it continues moving? Mine does as usual with Euroskank's build, unsure if that's related

Should I swap to ART?

So I've been reading through, some say it's fast, some say it's buggy, some apps won't work etc...
For those who have changed over... What are your opinions? Should I?

ART is still work in progress atm by Google and a lot of apps are not yet optimized for ART. So for testing and trying its good but as in daily usage i would stick with Dalvik for now.

Is it noticeably faster? Smoother? Better battery etc to be worth even trying?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I have found ART to be noticeably faster in app scrolling and overall load times. Poorly coded apps that have known to lag since the beginning of time now are smooth as butter. When I switched back from ART to dalvik I became somewhat disappointed because I got used to the phenomenal speed of the N5 on ART. The device still fly's on dalvik but is faster on ART, no question. Stability has been fantastic as well.

I switched to ART a few days ago and its been blazing fast and no problems. I've had 1 game that doesn't work but its not a big deal. Its stable and I'm gonna use it everyday
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
There is a thread that is starting to list apps that don't like art. I'm a hardcore tib user and art breaks tib, so I stay away. Performance is better, here and there, but I find using the right kernel and rom will match art smoothness.
My combo right now is psx and Franco. Very nice.
I switched to ART and the back key wouldn't work and nor would SwiftKey keyboard, so that's me back on dvalik lol

Likewise. Running for a week now,had to find an ART optimised version of whatsapp,aside from that I've had no problems. Phone is quicker,especially scrolling, and especially xda premium app! Having said that, I run my phone with very few apps on it,so I'm less likely to meet bugs than average I guess.

What specifically did you have issues with on SwiftKey?
I'm on ART and the only problem I've run into is the same as on Dalvik, which is pressing space does not automatically insert the highlighted word without first typing a letter.

Weird xda app behaviour

So b4 I bought my nexus7 I was using xda app only on my s4 galaxy.
Updated it to 4.3 and all worked smooth beside the xda app and the main point is that it behaves fail for the same problem for example I want to press quote on someone the xda force stop and I relaunch it and press quote again in the same person and get stop again. But when I would press quote on dif. Person everething smooth.
Now the problem appear on my nexus 7 4.4.2 (less frequently then s4) bit still the problem there.
Not sure if the problem have been discussed if so I apologize and your can point me or where to read so to close this threat.

KitKat Bugs?

Anyone notice scrolling w/in apps seems to look a bit choppy. I mean its still quite responsive just looks horrible. Any thoughts on how to remedy it
Also what other bugs are you seeing? Besides home button one.
Sent From My KitKat Ultra
Idk if I would say scrolling is choppy but I'd say that 4.2.2 might have just been just a miniscule bit more snappy than 4.4 is...
Benchmark scores (as unreliable as they are) would seem to verify this as my phone scores just a tad lower on almost every benchmark than it did on 4.2.2

Just had Dolphin Browser/OS completely lock up.
After restarting the phone and clearing cache from recovery I received a bunch of emails from Outlook which had arrived around noon without updating.
Dolphin browser, when scrolling a page flashes a white screen but that may be dolphin and not OS related.
If anyone is on the fence for this update, best to wait for a better build.

Good build
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this build, at least nothing rising to a known or systemic problem that I'm aware of. It's a pretty damn good build...one question / variable would be; how many of you are on the ART runtime?
My battery saver toggles itself off after a reboot. Anyone else? That's all I can think of.
I use ART. Also tried with Dalvik.
