Letters are bugged on my facebook app, its not bugged all of the time but after like 10 mins of using it gets bugged.
You may have a RAM issue. Facebook is an insanely HUGE app at over 250MB and for nothing really apart from data-mining and spying. It is just a glorified Webkit browser, so there is no need for that much code. Install Facebook Messenger Lite from apkmirror.com as it is only 20MB. Use an actual mobile browser for the Facebook website for posting and such. It may be that your device cannot provide enough resources, or there is a RAM error at the top end so you start getting corrupted fonts as the app uses up more and more memory. Just a guess.

For all the BlackBerry had in getting their Blackberry Messenger ready to compete against the likes of Whatsapp on Android and iOS it stills remains a poorly coded app. After their last update things really took a turn for the worse as i noticed that for my Nova Launcher seemed to redraw itself more regularly on my Galaxy Note 3 which has 3GB of on board RAM. On checking the Application manager i found the culprit which had managed to use over 300MB of RAM, rebooting my phone seemed to solve the problem but three hours later and a few messages sent it had managed to use 210MB of RAM, which is ridiculous considering that this is just a mere chat app not a graphics intensive game, comparing it to the other chats that i had on my phone like Whatsapp which used about 10MB of RAM and Facebook messenger which used just a little above 24MB.
uninstall it.
usless.

I really considered uninstalling it but I use it quite often to communicate with a few people (about 20 )

I've been struggling to get the AOSP Browser to work properly on the new TW update. It installs and launches okay, but force closes upon pressing menu. I've tried side loading it in system/app (with a couple other dependencies) and installing Android Browser from the play store. Has anyone succeeded in doing this?
On the same note, I'm having a similar experience with installing Google Talk. It's a superior piece of software when compared to hangouts so I'd prefer to use the better option, but it too encounters issues upon being side loaded... Mainly, it cannot connect to my account upon opening.
Any information would be great. Thanks in advance!

isn't chrome the new aosp browser? Plus 4.3 has the old aosp browser pre installed (the one that has the globe as the icon).

Nope and not exactly.
Yes, it is known that Google has replaced the AOSP browser with Chrome, but the two are very different in their rendering engines and plugin support. Chrome likes to do a lot of weird things, like size up text randomly. It also doesn't support flash.
The browser that comes with 4.3 TW is closer to the AOSP browser, but has been massively reworked by Samsung. It can only hold open 16 tabs at a time and has caching issues which forces me to close it via task manager before it will start loading pages again.

Thank you for informing me on that! I use to love chrome but now that the aosp/TW edited asop browser syncs my chrome bookmarks I stay away from it.
Since no one seems to have a answer for you if you give me a market link or whatever link I'll see if I have the same problem.
Seems Google is abandoning support for what used to be the ASOP browser and Android 4.4 support for the old browser has lost some functionality because of built-in engine change from Webkit to Chromium.
Here is the market link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
Google's been making a number of questionable "improvements" to its app catalog that have resulted in a less user-friendly experience. New maps, Hangouts and Chrome are not as good as their predecessors. Hangouts and Maps specifically are quite laggy and buggy.
If they keep butchering their core apps then I'll probably start looking outside Android... I dunno... Despite these steps backward, Android is probably still the best option.

Yeah menu crashes the app for me as well.
I've begun to hate using chrome (and xda because of chrome) because every time I go here, or to Android authority chrome gets some link from somewhere that's always like yourdailytopdealz or some crap and it deletes history of the page I was just on. Its very annoying and I would use another browser but all of my passwords and stuff that I've probably forgotten are in chrome so can anyone help me?

Has anyone noticed that when actually using the Google app, it is horrendously slow and laggy? Scrolling is especially bad if you look up an actor or musician...It's really the only app I have noticed this with, and unfortunately its one of the most important.
I've tried this with stock, BitOBSessiOn's kernels, ect, and haven't seen a difference. I'm ready to ask Nvidia what the deal is...
Is this just me, or is anyone else running into this? I might try a screen capture later
Google app/search bar? Hell no!!
This is the first thing I deactivate on all my devices.
Google app is essentially a spy app. Everything you do is monitored.. thus it slows down the performance of your device.
If you need to search use Chrome, another browser or a file explorer like normal people.

Thanks for the input. Putting the whole spyware / free services / ect argument aside, I like using Google's services, they can spy on me if they want, they'll be bored - I just want it to work correctly.
"work correctly". How? when the app is monitoring and slowing down everything else?
Alright so, I've really gotten upset with Facebook ads. They are not only invasive (I play one game and get a ton of ads about random games), they are waaaay too frequent! Every 3rd post in my feed is a game ad.
I'm sick and tired of their ******** ads and want them completely gone.
I have AdAway and rooted Note 8. It doesn't however kill ads on the official Facebook and Messenger apps.
I have also tried a few 3rd party options like Friendly, Phoenix, Maki, and Swift.
All those apps are so-called 2-in-1, as in they have Messenger integrated into Facebook app. Most of them also have Adblocking which is great, but I have a problem with these apps.
First and foremost, it's because they constantly load something. You go to messages, click on a message: 1 sec loading, you go back: 1 sec loading, you click on the same message: 1 sec loading, you go to another message: 1 sec loading. It's very frustrating.
Second, none of those apps have material and fluid theme/animation. They look like something created in 2013.
Facebook/Messenger official app looks so much better and do not have the annoying constant loading. This leads me to believe that these 3rd party apps are created with Snapdragon -200 in mind.
Please, give me alternatives
