[Q]Facebook Alpha Not Loading Due To ART? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently i have started to notice that the last 2 Facebook alpha's have been experiencing severe loading issues when signing into the app and also when opening the app these loading issues would stay on the below for 20mins+ with full Wifi connectivity etc. I could not understand why this was happening until i changed back to Dalvik and noticed the app started to work like it should with no loading errors whatsoever so im assuming its an ART issue that was not present untill the last 2 updates. Has anyone else had this issue?

You're using the Alpha. Stuff like this is bound to happen. Sometimes things may break and it'll stop working with ART until they fix it again.

I've the same problem, every time they update the app I have to wait for the app to setup again, it takes for ever.

This originally happened a while ago with ART, but then they fixed it. Looks like it's back. I had it stuck at that screen all day (terrible wakelock), and it finally loaded when I left it onscreen and turned the screen off for a while at night.

If it was completely an ART issue, it would not load intermittently as it does. If you clear the cache on the app after FCing it it will load eventually.
It's just sloppy, bloated poor coding by FB - nothing new.

[Q] Stock browser closing unexpectedly

Has anyone experienced this or has this been discussed in any thread for the TF? But my stock browser often closes unexpectedly with no force close message and returns to the home screen. When reopened, it forgets the recently the opened pages. Very, very annoying..

I got this a few times last night. It happened mainly on large/busy sites. I think this is an issue that will be rectified with the future 3.1 update.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Had it happen once or twice in the past 3 weeks. I think it is just an HC stability issue.
It seems to happen to me more often after I updated to the latest Adobe Flash 10.3.
Ditto. It has happened here every once and a while... But not enough to bother me.. I assume it will be addressed later.
This happened about 3 times yesterday evening while I was browsing. I don't know if it is related to a HC stability bug, or an Adobe Flash bug, although I'm more inclined towards the former, because I can browse perfectly fine with my Atrix on Flash 10.3. Also, I noticed a strange thing for the first time yesterday: When the browser crashes with no FC message, and you restart it back again, I get a screen filled with banding and multi-colored interference. Only way to fix it is to restart. I hope all of this gets taken care of with 3.1, because the browser experience really leaves something to be desired on 3.0.1 in my opinion. It just does not handle any heavy pages at all, let alone any embedded videos or just videos period.
happens when you try surfing to gmail
If you would like to see it crash 100% of the time, go to your gmail and try to open a message
It also freaks out in Gmail main page.
I was having browser crashes as well until the sudden disk space full error. After my factory reset the browser crashes have gone away. I wonder if they are related.
I got it twice in 3 weeks. It happened both times on Yahoo's ain page.
Happens to me also but never loses its place.
3.1
i first noticed this happening last night, 2nd night after updating to 3.1. never happened before that. i don't have the screen timeout on so the screen will stay on so i can see my moves list at a glance on a website. after about 10-15 minutes of not touching device it will just suddenly return to the homescreen and if i open browser it has to reload the page. i thought maybe it was something to do with the built in android memory management auto killing the browser, since there doesn't appear to be any flash on the page.
i too am having this problem.
Stock browser is where it started, so I go Dolphin HD and it still happens. So its not the browser itself it would seem, since 2 different browsers both do it.
There HAS to be a fix for this...
Since the 3.1 update I'm seeing something different - The browser simply stops responding after a while.

I to am having trouble with my browser. I am experiencing it ceasing to function aftwr awhile as l as frequent crashing when I load it. Crashes all the time if I type anything or use the menu if Ido so before it finishes loading my home page.
When your updated to 3.1, click reset all in the settings menu. Then when it's finish go into the browser settings and set plugins to be on demand. I'm able to run well like that it is flash that kills it, soon as you click the flash content to enable it on a page it may crash.

phone miniapp popping up randomly

Is anyone experiencing random pop ups of the phone miniapp ? It happens to my several times a day, both with the tablet on or off. Quite annoying.
P_
Yes same here.
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda premium
Im also having this issues now. It just randomly popups after unlocking. This happened after installing an update from samsung apps.
just an update, afer uninstalling those 2 updates from samsung apps. The mini phone app stopped popping up. Tested it for the whole afternoon.
Unconfirmed. Downgraded the Samsung app application, and for a few hours I was OK. Just when I was about to confirm it was working here it pop up again.
Nope it did not work for me. I still have occasional pop up of the phone mini app, even with the upgraded firmware KL3
i also experienced this when i was on DXKL1. Then I flashed my GTab+ with DXKL2. I also did a factory reset, cache wipe, and wipe dalvik cache. Then it never occurred again. I am now on DXKL3 and I still haven't encountered it.
same here as well..
i also get sudden popups from the phone mini app. no other mini app does that and some times when it keeps showing up more often i restart and it becomes less frequent. i was bugged about this ever since i bought my p6200 and kept trying to reproduce the situation or take note of the time it occurs and the conditions of my tab at that time. i have gone through 3 software formats since i got the tab (not related, just fooling around ) and i became less and less optimistic of spotting a pattern to the problem.
after reading this thread i checked samsung apps and turns out i haven't even opened it since the latest format but i had on several occasions witnessed the phone miniapp popping up.
i've just updated the samsung apps and will report if the problem arises again. i hope it doesn't though, lol
Yep, it does happen even on DXLC1. Whenever it happens, i found that going to the settings & ending contacts from running apps helped solve the problem though.
Cheers!
Sent from my GT-P6200 using XDA Premium HD app
is the "kill the contacts app" a temp. fix or a fix for the general problem
btw..i had the phone app popup on me today twice, so no go on my scenario as well.

Netflix and Hulu issues

Ive noticed an issue over the last few days on my Surface with Hulu and Netflix both. Both are closing about every 5 mins. It will show in recent apps and re-open and keep playing as it was. it is however getting somewhat annoying. I haven't found anything else mentioned elsewhere. Is anyone else having the same problem?
No issues

no issues with that either. You might try uninstalling and reinstalling the app? Maybe doublecheck your wifi connection? Just watched the daily show with no closing or issues here.
Hulu pauses a lot
I was having issues with Hulu pausing a lot during streaming. I don't use the app anymore, i just stream directly through IE and it works perfectly.
Just an update for all. I noticed using it this morning, while not touching any of the screen or the start button that it went back to start screen and the device vibrated like the button was hit. The behavior continued until this evening when the start button stopped working. Called up tech support and the guy had me go through a hard reset. To do this, hold down power (while the surface is on) for 30 secs. Then hit power to turn it back on. No data loss at all. Booted back up and the device is working properly now.

No text

Hi,
Is anyone else having an issue In Hangouts of text not appearing when typed.
I'm suffering with this on my N5 and the only way to rectify it seems to be a reboot. Its not a major inconvenience but it does strike me as odd that it only seems to occur in Hangouts and not in other G apps or 3rd party apps like Whatsapp etc.
If anyone else is having this problem or has found a fix for it do let me know.
Thanks,
Jim
I've had it happen a few times over the past couple months. I normally just go back to the conversation list, and it fixes it.

Question Has anyone installed android 14 beta on google pixel 7 pro

what problems do you have, if any, and is it worth installing?
Its not worth it! It's a buggy mess right now I would wait for beta 2. Just look on reddit and you'll see all the problems it has.

Only bug I've seen is the modem. I'm on wifi most of the time anyway, but the signal strength
isn't as good.
Oh, I did have another bug. The app bluemail was crashing when it opened it. Emailed the
failure report to google & the app developer. Less than 24 hours later the app developer
sent me a link with an updated beta app that fixed it.
It is the biggest bug party I have ever seen.
Couple bugs that happen to me currently:
- Online banking app no longer works.
- Home screen is just glitching and all apps disappear.
- a lot of Status Bar Symbols missing/ or glichting
- Screen can't be opened with fingerprint sensor, for whatever reason.
- And yes, many apps are not updated for Android 14 yet.
Wallpaper and style not working/crashing here and sometimes a bit lag. The rest of the problems mentioned here not on my 7 Pro. Fingerprint, modem, all 102 apps (some are new betas), including banking app are working without any problem. Provider: T-Mobile
Before you enrol:​The updates that you’ll receive as a part of the beta programme are pre-release versions and may contain errors and defects that can affect the normal functioning of your device.

So be careful and make a wise decision

In addition, dark mode will not stay on; you'll have to toggle it once an hour or so. I would say it's an Alpha.
Probably I must be the lucky one that everything is going well! Battery for me seems longer and it doesn't warm anymore when watching videos or dimming my screen as during A13 Qpr... the only issue so far for me is the usb-c audio not working.

Maybe i'm lucky too, but i'm having no issues other than when i sometimes go to compose a new sms, the app (google messages) freezes and causes system wide freeze until i lock the screen with power button and then it's back. Hardly ever send sms these days anyway. no biggy

Installed the 14 beta. Not faced any problems so far, apart from "com.android.qns" crashing every time I boot the device. But it does not affect the cellular connection.
Battery OK, no other app crashes.

I reset the app data for QNS and the crash went away for me.
