EBay app very slow - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Anyone having issues with the ebay app?Works great on my oneplus3,nexus 6p and my wife's nexus 6..Its super slow on the lg v20.

I noticed it on mine too! What a pain. I guess it's a nougat issue? Not a problem on my v10... I'll check it later just in case but I wasn't having problems before.

I assume both of your tried to clean the data and the cache of the app, right? when i had my phone, ebay was perfectly.

I was having the same problem too, the app was updated earlier and took care of the lagginess

I had noticed this too. Glad to see I wasn't alone.

I just updated EBay app and in their "what's new" description it says improved performance for Google Pixel. I'm guessing that is their way of saying its now working better with Nougat.

same, I guess it wasn't up to date with nougat

I have the same issue. Going to check out the update, see if it helps.

Same issue here on Nexus 5 with pure Nexus marshmallow. I m an intensive user of the ebay app... I found that after sometimes, eBay app tend to slow down and It s heavy for the system. When my phone start to lag (nexus 5 on M pure nexus is a butter experience) if I open recent apps , ebay is always in the list. If I close ebay phone go back to the butter experience. Due to this fact, and to others like the missing search option to search an item in the whole europe like in the mobile site , I decided to remove ebay app like I done for Facebook and Facebook messenger... Those 3 apps will never be reinstalled on my phone. It takes me an year to find what was slowing down my phone between the 200 apps installed

News from OnePlus and Cyanogen on battery drain and new update

This is what Steve Kondik posted on OnePlus forums:
Just a quick update on the power issue in 30O..
Two issues that ended up in the build were identified and fixed. They weren't affecting everyone and were subject to hardware variations and timing, but our engineers worked quickly to get them resolved. The first issue was a very low-level system bus problem, while the second was a problem with how the proximity sensor is used to prevent false unlocks from gestures and double taps. We pride ourselves in the performance and low power consumption of 11S, and after these fixes our lab tests show improved numbers vs. 25R! This will go out as a small hotfix as soon as it's approved. Additionally, we are preparing another update in parallel that brings a few new features, a beautified lock screen, audio enhancements, polish on the new features in 30O, and of course bug fixes.
Both of these new builds are in the final testing and approval phases. I can't give any ETA because we are subject to third parties, but you should see the power hotfix in the next couple of days with the bigger update right on it's heels.
To ensure this doesn't happen again, we are bulking up our automated test systems to cover more cases, more often. Being a startup is both a blessing and a curse- while we can move fast on issues and updates, we are still building our automation and infrastructure. We depend on your feedback to tell us what we're doing right, as well as wrong! Additionally, we are working hard to reduce the time between updates even further so that they are more manageable.
Hang in there for just a bit and that unkillable battery will make a triumphant return.

I dont have that issue, but hope it will help you guys that have it.
Nothing new on this right? Just checked the thread not long ago and it was still in testing.
It was post 4 days ago, nothing new?
It's an old post. Fix still under test and would be released when approved internally in CM. Been waiting for the hotfix since past few days.
This drain is so damn annoying. Been thinking of rolling back but really need the speaker phone fix that came in this update.

I wonder if we go back to 25r if we will have to go to 30O then apply the new update or will they have a "new and improved" fixed 30O? BTW is your ability to have a different wallpaper on your lockscreen than on your home screen broken also?
I'm lucky if I can get 4 hours screen on time... Given I don't get good service for 8 hours, but still. I tried all the "fixes" out there. No luck.

Using the battery monitor widget I noticed my drain to be around 250ma with good signal and screen on, and well over 650ma when no signal. So keep in mind that lack of signal can triple your drain :/

For me the OPO forums are a little chaotic, too much thanking and begging for invites
Btw. Someone posted this as a workaround for the battery drain. Dont know how true it is but if you are willing to try...
Flash the Franco R13 kernel*
Quote*
Just pushed r13 which has a newer Touch Panel firmware from CM. Touch sensitivity seems much improved, which is a VERY welcomed plus. Also added support for PS3 controllers via OTG. I'll add MultiRom support on r14. Enjoy
Works fine with double tap to wake and capacitive buttons disabled. good battery life so far

or try and flash AK CM11S version, maybe latest _31b14 w/o changing back to 25R or smth else, (just to give a try as it is easier to change the Kernel than the ROM (you know...restoring stuff ))

Pandora 5.7 Force Closing Constantly

Ever since the update to Pandora with the refreshed UI, it FCs and locks up my phone any time I run it. If I leave my phone alone, the songs will play like they should, but as soon as I unlock my screen, the first song that played when I opened Pandora is still listed as the current track, and the "Wait or Close" dialog box is up. And then I have to pull my battery, because nothing happens when I hit either Wait or Close.
Is anyone else having this issue or know of a solution? I'm on a Verizon rooted/busyboxed/debloated S5 and Pandora worked perfectly with it until the update. So I'm doubting that it's the phone.
Thanks,
Z
I'm having the exact same issue with Pandora on my S5. Not too happy about it either since I pay for Pandora One and primarily use Pandora through my phone. I emailed them today about the issue. I'll update this when I get a reply from them.
There's quiet a few 1 star reviews in the Google Play store after the most recent update, complaining about the same issue, so the problem seems pretty widespread.

Pandora 5.7 is malfunctioning on rooted S4
Same issue on my rooted S4 running hyperdrive, except, it continues playback but it black screens when touchresponse freezes! I also have to battery pull and it sucks! Pandora Dev's!!!! Quit trying to be like IHeartRadio!!!!!! you guys were the first! just keep it simple and try not to sacrifice sound quality, speed or selection for appearance...no one cares when they use it on their phone...We set the station, plug in the AUX cable and walk away! that's it! one more thing, I know it's not because we're rooted because there are many people experiencing the same issue who are not rooted and customed rommed!!!! I would suggest that you investigate what it is with samsung phones that are interfering with your new "5.7" build?!?!?!.... sounds like most of us samsung user's are going to switch over to IHeartRadio or Spotify until you fix this trainwreck! Thanks.
I got a reply from Pandora support last night, asking for some more info (android version, phone version, carrier, etc) and further description of the issue so that they can forward it to the engineering team.
I responded this morning, so we'll see how long it takes to hear back from them.
Sickbox9, I forgot to mention in my original post that my s5 is rooted (but not running a custom rom). Like your said, I highly doubt that's the issue tho since non rooted users are having the exact same problems.
same problem here. I am running an adblocking hosts file and I thought that could be the cause.
has anyone tried rolling back to 5.6?

Don't side load from what I read it hasn't come for the 6p yet because of some issues that are being worked out. I haven't checked to see if they pulled the images but I would just wait for the OTA. I also read that dp5 is really laggy on the Nexus 6

I don't remember what site it was it was 4am and I was just having coffee and It came up in my Google now news feed. The post wasn't about that I read it in the comment section after the post. Also I see some people on here who did sidload it and are having problems with recovery and some apps. So personally I am going to wait till Google fixes it.
maybe they are actually trying to fix the slow-motion bug that has existed since release on 6.0. after a day or two, slow motion records very choppy. the small group of people who actually notice the bug think it will never get fixed. oh well....

I sideloaded DP5 to my 6P on Monday, and I can confirm that it's borderline disastrous. It's way slower and jankier than the last couple of preview milestones, and there's general bugginess that I didn't see in the last two builds. Additionally, I've had way more crashes than I experienced on DP3 and DP4, both of which were mostly stable. I hope the OTA delay means they are working out a few kinks, because I would hate for this to be what Google considers "near final" software.
Thanks for the heads up.

I'm sure that is what the delay is. I was thinking it was a OTA issue but then I saw your post a a few others. This is the first android phone I have ever owned that I didn't root right out of the box. I'm too tired to do all the flashing and deal with the bugs and all that. I didn't even opt in to the dev preview till dp3. With that said all my previous experience has taught me to research before I update or install new software and wait till it is mostly bug free. This phone just works. I won't have to root it till Google stops supporting it and I have to go with cyanogenmod

Could you do us a favor and let us know if/when the OTA pops up on your device? It would be nice to compare build numbers to see if Google is preparing an updated build for release.
Curtis Bond, Thanks for the very helpful post! I feel a lot more patient waiting for DP5 now.

Hey guys, I got mine around noon in Philadelphia, PA. Prior to that, I was experiencing the same issues you guys were in that my OTA was not showing up. Happy updating!
Me too I got mine at 12:30 pm in new York. It now says android 7.0 instead of Android n npd90g is the build number. I just finished with work so I have to test it out but so far it seems to be really good and snappy. And yes they fixed the toggle switches back to what they should be.
I just checked and OTA was ready to download. Installing dp5 now.
Downloaded and running....

Google disabled the option to reply directly from lockscreen. Now everytime you want to reply you need to unlock the phone. What's the point?

LG V20 on Sprint - hanging/freezing/performance issues

My first 5-6 days with this phone were pretty solid.
Now, once or twice a day the phone will just start hanging, and eventually freeze, requiring a battery pull.
This will happen randomly. No particular app that I can pinpoint is contributing.
I have noticed it seems to have occurred some times when either an email or text is arriving.
It also has happened without an email or text coming in.
Of course it may be an app. I am dreading a factory reset, but think I need to. Then will load the apps fresh from the Play store instead of transferring them from my previous Note 4 like I did initially.
I searched online regarding this issue....there are only 2 YouTube videos from users. One said he just had a bad phone, exchanged it, and is now fine. Other comments pointed to Facebook app vs using the Samsung 256 gig memory card (from Note 7 owners, which is what I am actually doing).
Any tips on how to stop this vs how to capture what is causing this is appreciated.
FWIW: using the BlueMail and Textra for default apps.
I've noticed this too using the sprint version. I have to reboot the phone to fix it

Sometimes it is hung up so much I cant reboot and am forced to take off my case and pull the battery. There has never been an overheating issue for me.

Same thing started happening to me - week 3 with T-Mobile variant.
Thanks for heads-up on this potential issue, I'm on day 2 of this device, and it seems fine thus far, but I'll be on the look out...perhaps a reboot once a week like the Samsung devices will help.
I'm still unhappy about Sprint leaving out the lg gallery app, and the content lock with this app. I tried the side loaded lg gallery apk, and although it installs okay, the lock feature doesn't work!
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
Never had this happen, on sprint, had the phone since before the official release
Am on T-Mobile. I was having to do a battery pull once or twice a day. I gave up and did a reset and reinstall. Never had an LG phone before and tried out the Backup and Restore program. Worked fine although I didn't try reinstalling any of my Exchange accounts for fear of corruption or deletion of emails, calendar events, contacts.
Was happy with the speed of the reinstall. Especially with the sms. I have about 16,000 sms and mms. When I got this phone I used that and it took almost 6 hours to restore those messages. With the LG backup and restore, everything took less than 3 hours.

Probably after it is available as a final for Nexus devices...AKA 2017. Even Nexus phones are beta-ing until 2017 probably.
I've had my Sprint model since day 2 and it has never done this.
Looks like it might have been Lux and its persistent notification that was responsible for the slowdowns. I disabled it and everything seems must faster.
Lux? As in the app to control brightness?

Never had any lag or freezing on mine either. Have had since sprint release day, didn't restore or transfer anything over. Everything was setup as new, just transferred sd card with music and pictures.

Yes Lux the brightness app. I noticed the worst lag when pulling down the notification drawer and thought it might be related to Lux's brightness widget, which seems to have proved to be the case. Disabling its notification privileges and haven't seen any lag all day.
Never had even a moment of hesitation since owning the phone (Verizon).

Pixel XL 2 Owners beware..

So today I found out that the latest version of Swipe for Facebook (I think, pretty sure) created major problems. Pixel launcher would constantly crash, phone became semi useless cause of that. Then a couple reboots later, screen would go black after unlocking pass code. So I had to factory reset it. I reinstalled swipe and bam Pixel launcher crashed. So I used Google assistant to open Google play store and Uninstalled the app. So far no issue. My phone is a Google version and unlocked bootloader.

It is that simple. Plus it smells more like a problem that the developer of the app needs to resolve, rather then being beware for the "pixel".
So report it to the developer instead of just ranting here, I think that might be a lot more productive. Or don't use it. Either way, not a "Pixel" issue....

I think this is a good thing to post. If the phone has to be factory reset from this, it isn't just a program crashing.

actually, i have had issues where it was the programme's fault for the un-usable galaxy nexus (back in mah day (puts teeth back in)), i was able to pull the apk off via other methods. and soon after an update to that app was pushed. cant remember the app, but it was a big company. turns out, it was several devices that had this issue with similar chip types or something along that line.

actually, i have had issues where it was the programme's fault for the un-usable galaxy nexus (back in mah day (puts teeth back in)), i was able to pull the apk off via other methods. and soon after an update to that app was pushed. cant remember the app, but it was a big company. turns out, it was several devices that had this issue with similar chip types or something along that line.

I'm not saying it wasn't a problem with the app. What I am saying is that it is not a run of the mill app crashing, where you just uninstall and everything is good. Having someone or now two people mention it took a factory reset to fix things after installing the app is useful. Then people can decide to take a chance or wait.
Ignore them, uninstalling swipe made my pixel great again so we know it's not fake

He probably lucked out and got the 7.2.1 update instead of 7.2. From people's response here as well as reviews on the Play Store, this **** was no joke.
This was horrible for me. For some reason even though my phone was setup 48 hours prior cloud backup did not back up my texts. So because of **** testing on a Play Store app I lost all my messages. I'd like to know exactly what the **** did the developer do to cause this. I've never seen a Play Store app this damaging before. I've honestly never had anything like this happen on a stock device. Only back when messing around with ROMs and mods.

Yeah, crazy. I've never seen this happen on a stock rom before either. I actually enjoy friendly Facebook better than swipe. Seems to work better with notifications and seems smoother than when swipe used to work.

So true. It's amazing to me that with all of Facebook's resources and with how much they rely on mobile users, that their mobile app is still so f***ing terrible. I was having some lag/stuttering issues on my LG V30 and after uninstalling facebook and LG's built in facebook installer app, my phone started running buttery smooth and hasn't hiccuped since. Now I just check facebook occasionally when I'm in front of my computer.
Uninstalling it from your phone immediately shows you how little you need that crap feed in your life.
Facebook is and always will be coded like garbage.

Ya very true. But ya know some of us can't live without it. I'm now using Friendly Facebook app. Seems to have no issues. I did email the dev team for swipe to let them know though.
