I'm using Facebook for Android and people that posts pictures in the news feed all I see is an empty box and when I click on it, the picture tries to load and all i see is a black screen. If I go into manage applications and clear data/cache it usually fixes the issue but goes right back the next time I open facebook. Does anyone else experience this or know how to correct this issue?
Not sure what's going on. Mine's working just fine. Always has. The only issue I have is with opening notifications (sometime's requires a double tap or even a triple tap, and I don't get the same notifications as I do on my laptop). But as far as your issue goes, maybe try uninstalling and re-installing it? Could have possibly been a bad download, maybe. I've had that happen before. An app wasn't working right, so I took it off and then put it back on, and it worked fine.

I just noticed that when I go to app settings from my computer I don't see that Facebook for Android is listed in there so maybe the permissions aren't set up correctly? Can someone please verify if the app is listed there or not?
I already tried to uninstall/reinstall no success.
The facebook app for android has always been a FLAMING pile of trash. It has gotten slightly better over the years, but not by much. It's about the only think blackberry has a step up on android with lol. It's always SOMETHING with that app. The latest for me is i will get notifications, but then when i click on the status or whatever that the update happened in, i have to hit refresh to actually get it to show what was posted. GARBAGE.
Yeah, the app its terrible. I've recently learned that deleting a post is possible, but only if you swipe the post left a certain way.
Regardless, I just use dolphin and go to the website directly using desktop UA.
Ever since i posted here about my issues Facebook has been running flawless

Hello everyone!
Let me start off by saying that i'm actually using an unrooted, officially update nexus 5, updated to the latest 5.0.1
I have no problem whatsoever, battery really seem to have improved, but lately i've been getting a strange behavior
After a period of use (it goes from a couple of days to a whole week) the phone oddly slows down when i press the middle button, to return back to the homescreen.
For example, if I'm using the facebook app, and watch a couple of videos along with opening a few external links, when i press the home button, the whole home "loads" from start. I mean, i literally see nothing for a second, then it slowly loads widgets and icons. After it's been loaded, everything works flawlessly again, but if i open facebook again, use it for a while and press the home screen, it loads again.
Mind that i have no custom drawer (i tried Themer, it gives me the same error, it says "loading homescreen" when the problem appears) but the problem is still there with the stock homescreen. I tried force-closing the apps i used, thinking about a memory issue, but to no avail. I have to turn off and turn on the device, and everything works wonders again.
Is there any app that could help me with this issue? I'd like to understand why it's doing this and which app is slowing down my phone.

I am not Sure whether this is 100% sure, But have heard that there is a memory leak issue in lollipop. Which might be the reason of ur problem. And the oly way get enough memory is to restart. But again, I am not Sure whether the above information is correct though.

I've heard that too, but it's strange that it has appeared only now. I haven't had this kind of issue ever since i updated it.
The FB app is just real buggy. My personal theory is whatever that app does exposes the Lollipop memory leak.

Yep i know about that, the FB app is just horrible script-wise. Nevertheless, i've never had THIS problem. And even if i forceclose it, it doesn't solve the problem anyway.
Several of my apps does not show up when I hit the recent apps soft key. Of the apps I frequently use that does not show is Facebook, Messenger and Dolphin Browser..
Anybody else experienceing the same issue?
This is quite annoying... Am I the only one who have this issue?
I couldn't tell you (don't remember) what apps were guilty but I've noticed the same thing with several different apps.

I did a check just now, and actually most of the apps I tried did not show up when touching the recent apps soft key. It's also not consistent which apps does not show ?

The recent apps is literally the apps that you accessed most recently (not most frequently). Depending on your Chrome setting (if you are using the Chrome browser) you may have your tabs out in the recent screen as well.
The list will always change, depending on what you looked at last and in what order
I just went to the three apps you mentioned in sequence, and they show up on my recent apps screen.

I know how the recent apps view is supposed to work, so that's not the problem.. As I mentioned in my last post theres some inconsistency in wich apps does not show, but some of them never seems to show. It also sometimes happen that I'm unable to remove all apps from the list. They show up the next time I hit the recent apps soft key.
I'm on build number:
MMB29K.G930FXXU1APB4
I see, that's odd. Not sure what to make of it. I am build APB5, maybe that matters. Verizon pushed out an update last week for March security and to fix wifi issues, if you are on Verizon give it a shot and see if it helps.

I'm from Norway and my phone is not tied to any operator. I am also on the latest update available in my region. I guess I could try to do a facory reset, and see if it helps. But I don't think I'll bother anytime soon..
Problem solved
It seems like i finally found a solution to my problem
After investing a whole day doing several factory resets and installing of apps and settings in different order each time I tracked the problem down to an app I use, called Sidebar Plus. I installed this app and its settings with the help og Helium and all of a sudden some of my apps refused to show in the recent apps view. I then uninstalled Sidebar Plus, did a reboot, and all of my apps now show up in the recent apps view as they should
I now have installed Side Apps Bar - Edge Sidebar instead, and everything seems fine :good:
Hi everyone, ever since the update, my apps stop running in the background when I close the app. Example: I don't get Whatsapp notifications anymore unless I open the app and keep it open. If I close all open apps, I will no longer receive any of the notifications for any of them.
I went into the battery settings disabled battery saver mode but that didn't do anything.
I would appreciate any help you could provide.

It's apparently one of the issues with the latest OTA update, where closing all running apps will terminate the background processes associated with the apps closed. Prior to the update and the Close All button being added to the recent apps list, I don't think it had this problem (I don't use Whatsapp, but my Skype and Discord notifications still come through even if I don't have them on my recent apps list).
This is a little frustrating. Noticed that I wasn't getting any notifications from tasker, pushover, textra, hangouts, inbox and etc.
Also noticed that pushover will not update unless it is off of wifi. All my other devices receive notifications on this wifi. IE nothing blocked.
I have had to open all the programs that I want to receive notifications from, open. Not the best work around.

I noticed that on occasion there will be small text under the new button that says "long press to set up apps that could run in the background" I do it but it doesn't seem to do anything, maybe free up some of the RAM but that's about it. I'm wondering if there is a bug and if it's supposed to show something.
Has anyone else tried the long press?
As of now all I do is keep a folder on the desktop labeled background apps. It helps big time when I accidentally tap the close all button. But my solution as of now is to keep things open that don't seem to work in the background. I've been experimenting with what works and it seems like in some recent app updates they begin to work without being open. I know for sure that facebook and now facebook messenger work without being open, as well as some google services. I have a memory clearer app that I use when I'm not using my phone so it clears whatever it can without killing the apps. But that's what I have as of now, trial and error to figure out what I need to leave open and what I can close. And I strongly recommend the folder, I have had many times where I accidentally close everything and forget what I had to leave open.
It's a bummer though, I just bought the phone and then this update came out. Kinda kills the excitement of getting a new awesome phone if I have to deal with this frustration :/ Other than that, it's definately a nice step up from a Samsung S4.

does it misbehave after rebooting? or all the time?

Misbehave as in not show anything after a long press?
Yes, nothing happens anytime I try it. After reboot, the first time I pull up the running apps is when I get the prompt. After the first long press after a reboot, the prompt is gone. If I have an app open and then I do the long press, I am taken back to the desktop, but no matter what I try, nothing seems to happen after the long press other than being taken back to the desktop if I had an app open.
I have the same issue, I thought it was a Internet connection issue (see my thread) but after digging deeper realised my background apps werent running after closing them and the long press option does nothing.
I have the same problem. Any solution?

I've just installed the new update and it looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.
I'm baffled, I've been using my phone for a long while. Just within a day or so I start getting this notification with every reboot;
"Apply your phone settings" / "Click to apply your web setup". I haven't done any updates, except a couple non-HTC apps. I've tried searching for it, but very little comes up, and HTC site is not helpful.
I installed a NAND backup I had from a week ago, the message still pops up. I can't find a setting for it, and can't determine what app it's related to, except it might be related to HTC Sense. Can anyone shed light on this? It's annoying to have my phone behaving without knowing what it's doing.

I know this isn't helpful but I'm having the same issue. I'm using the HTC One remix though. Just started a couple days ago with all reboots. I don't use HTC sense I use a different program so you may be onto something with that. Yes it's very annoying and I'm curious to know what's really causing this.
Next time you get the notification, instead of tapping or dismissing it, long-hold on it (a few seconds) and it should tell you what app is doing the notification.

I'm receiving the same notification repeatedly i.e. "HTC - Apply your phone settings - Click to apply your web setup"
When I hold down the notification, the App that pops up is "HTC Get Started", which is all very strange since my phone is @~ 5 years old, and I have not made any firmware updates recently.

Yes I found that out as well and also have had my phone for almost 2 years now, quite sure I don't need to go through the "Getting Started" setup haha. It hasnt shown up anymore for whatever reason. Must have been some bug or glitch.
