Facebook News Feed Issues? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been having some strange issues lately with Facebook on my N4. Over wifi it operates like normal, refreshing my feed quickly and normally. But over Straight Talk T-Mobile it refuses to update 95% of the time despite 4 bars of HSPA+ For comparison, Instragram updates immediately and numerous Speedtests show my normal 5-15mb/s.
Tried wiping the cache and uninstalling to no avail. Anyone having issues? This just started about a week ago.

What radio? Probably unrelated but I had similar facebook issues on the .33 radio over LTE. Downgraded to .27 radio and it fixed my loading issues.

Any chance you've exceeded your Data Cap for StraightTalk, from what I've seen straighttalk isn't exactly the most reliable for data usage.

By the way when you say update, are you talking bout with the screen off, or when you're actually in the app forcing it to update?

For me it's when I'm in the app trying to update it and I know im not outta data so I'm thinking it's the app

Course at the same time I never considered Facebook to be all that reliable on the mobile side, so if all the other apps are working fine and it's just facebook that's crapping out it seems to re-enforce my feeling about their app. (I mean it even crashes on iOS every so often).

T-Mobile Straight Talk really doesn't have a data limit. Or I've never gotten close to it. As I said Facebook is the only app that does this. And even then 1 time out of 10 it'll update like normal.
I'm thinking this is some bug with the latest Facebook update. If anyone has any other thoughts for fixes let me know!

Facebook app is weird

+1 on this issue. Actually +2, since my wife has the same problem.

Same here with me and my wife. The only way I can get fb to load is to close all running apps via the multitask button then reopen and it goes.

Same issue here on the Facebook app, I've tried opening and closing it a few times and eventually it will refresh.

I believe it's definitely something on straight talks end because if you try to request the desktop site of facebook in chrome, it doesn't load either. I also am having this same issue.

Just a follow up, fixed using common sense. (shocking really)
Downgrading to 3.2 works like a charm. Can't post a link but look for the V3.2 APK on Android Drawer.

No its not. I've never experienced any of those problems out of the box.
Sounds like you've got a poorly behaving app running and slowing things down. Grab an app called OS Monitor or similar and see if you can see anything running up the CPU.
My NS is the snappiest, most responsive phone I've owned to date; it's even better than my Galaxy S i9000 on Froyo.
Its gingerbread

google now: frequent "no connection" error since i/o

Ever since the Google i/o update for google search I'm frequently experiencing a "no connection" bug with google now. The rest of the services works fine but Google Now can't connect to the internet. Rebooting fixes the issue but it reappears after some time. Am i the only one with that?
It happened to me once about a day ago, but that *might* have been because my internet was throwing a hissy-fit.
Out of curiosity, what was the Google i/o update?

They've added reminder settings and some new cards. Go to settings/cards to see what the new ones are
I'm having the same issue. Since the update, Google Now losses connection at least every other day until I turn off my WiFi/mobile data and turn it back on.
Assume a big fix week be on the cards (excuse the pun) but it's a pain in the meantime...
Same problem here.

I had this problem show up randomly after a few months without issues. Wiping the Google search app data solved it for a day or two then it came back.
I finally solved the problem by simply wiping the Google search app data, then turning Google Now OFF then ON. 6 weeks without a problem so far.

Same here. Not sure when it started, but it seems to be ROM independent, I had it on PA, PACman, Smooth, and now on Vanilla Rootbox. All clean installs/full wipes. Drives me crazy.

This is happening with me too on my Nexus 7 with 4.3. Tried turning Flight Mode off and on but this didn't help. It appears to be intermittent and can go away without intervention.

Nexus 4 restarting at random times since 4.3.?

My Nexus 4 does get hot (who's doesn't) and when it does, it likes to restart. This hasn't always been the case, only since the 4.3 update. It happens on Snapchat, Instagram, Google+, XDA and others. Any ideas why? Anybody else?

Hi,
Mine is getting hot, but never rebooted.
using instagram, google+, xda, facebook all this and all good.
The reboots occur to my device but the device doesn't get hot, probably related to the JSS15 deadlocks?
So why you don't came back on stable 4.2.2?

Mine does on snapchat
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Mine does this at random times (recording video, typing a text). Happens every 2-3 days since I upgraded. Going to wipe it and put 4.2.2 back again.
Mine is running great doesn't seem to hut down anymore. 4.2.2 always did while charging and Wi-Fi.. Not anymore

Mine only reboots on Skype video calling, but that has been confirmed on Skype forums to be a known bug with 4.3, also it doesn't seem related to heat.

Hangouts - Supper Laggy

Is anyone's Hangouts super laggy in the beginning when it's loading all the SMS's?
Whenever I close all my apps and start it up again, it takes like 5 seconds to load up. Maybe not too long, but obviously with the processor we have it should definitely be faster. Anybody suggest a fix if they have fixed it, or just somebody experiencing the same?
And by laggy, i mean it's just a white screen until the sms's are loaded, and then it's smooth as butter for me.
-Side note, My WIFI turns ON randomly even though I don't touch the phone.... odd.
You have to realize that no matter what kind of power you throw at it this phone is 3 version behind in android now. Optimization is the key thing here.

4G LTE Constantly Timing Out

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone can help me with a fix or tell me why my 4G LTE keeps timing out. I'm Rooted on Stock 4.3 with unlocked Bootloader and the latest TWRP Recovery. I have the correct APN set up and enabled and already flashed the 33_84hybridLTE_enablerV2.zip. LTE/GSM auto (PRL) is enabled in Phone information. I have the 4G icon and faster speeds of course, but when streaming video from apps like YouTube or Vevo or even when I'm downloading apps from the Play Store, videos constantly stop every few mins and downloads sometimes pause and go really slow as if I was on Edge. I tested my speeds and on average I'm getting 6Mbps down and 3Mbps up, sometimes as high as 13Mbps down and 7Mbps up so that should be enough speed. What gives then? Thanks in advance for your help.

I've had something similar happen but only on versions before kitkat. I never figured out what the issue was but a restart always fixed it. Sorry that's not much help. It was a very weird, annoying issue without an apparent cause.

Yeah I noticed that a reboot temporarily fixes it, so this doesn't happen to you anymore on KitKat? It's ok all input is welcomed, I'm just glad I wasn't alone on this LOL.

I think it's happened twice on kitkat when I was on the initial image release. I've since upgraded to the KRT16S version and haven't had it happen at all. It happened regularly on jellybean. I'd try the S version of kitkat and see if that helps. It's definitely better for me.
