Flipboard app lags? - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps (US Carriers)

Has anybody else felt that the Flipboard app lags on their phone, like when you are flipping up and down the articles in the pages, it's weird because it seems like this is literally the only app I've found that shows worse performance when compared to my dual core one x from before, all other apps the sgs3 rips through them.
Wondering if any of you had similar experiences with the Flipboard app? Thanks

No lag at all ....silky smooth.

Sorry you are having lagging issues, but its so fluid in movement on my T-mobile SGS3

No. I would look at the other things installed on your device. Flipboard has been lag free for me too.

It's not nearly as smooth as it was on my AT&T One X, either. I noticed it immediately when I installed it. I'm using Diet ICS 7.6.

Which Rom you using?
Edit: Just saw your edit
I don't see the point of this app to share pictures? Pixel~O~ Matic is way superior app with way more and better quality filters. Share to twitter and Facebook. Always could do this natively. Plus the app andmadeshare can share to multiple social networking sites at once already. I uninstalled the app after 10 minutes playing with it.

Don't see it on 2.3.7 rom.
i have a not compatible error in G play. am i the only one?. can somebody make a titanium backup. i dont htink it will be a problem since the app is free. Thanks in advance
edit: running stock 2.3.6
Lol slick mods rom is not compatible with this app. Its fine thought because its quite the useless app lol

Anyone notice that the android app is missing some of the editing features that the ios app does have.. Kind of a let down. Does anyone know of a picture app that will let you change depth of field? Thanks
Bummer it's not working on ICS roms right now, I've been waiting for this to be released on Android. Crashes and forces reboot on my phone right now Played with on the wifes gingerbread phone, works great looks great.

I flashed back to fb for it. If you like taking and sharing pictures its a really great app

It's a bug with ICS roms.

What is your favorite Galaxy S3 exclusive feature?

Of the many features Samsung included in the Galaxy S3, what is your favorite (or one of them) and why? Even if it isn't exclusive to the phone, I'm curious to know.
Personally, and I didn't think this would be one of them when I heard about it, I LOVE Smart Stay. I usually use my phone a lot to browse and read forums and other internet documents. My old phone was constantly turning off the screen while I read a long post. My Galaxy S3 never turns it off. One of the best features of the phone imo. It's all the little things that work together to make this phone so great.
So what is your favorite feature of the phone?

I also love Smart Stay, it just makes reading easier than having to constantly be touching the screen.
Personally, I love all the ICS and JB leaks I get to play with!!! Never seen a phone with so many so fast!

Any way to disable edge-zooming in the stock browser

It drives me insane when I'm using the device one-handed and trigger this "feature" when I scroll near the edge of the screen...
Same here especially when trying to bring up the quick controls.
Same here on international version

There seems to be no option. The browser itself is one of the best stock browsers I've ever used. But I want to punch sammy in the throat at times for not allowing that to be turned off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I agree I would also like it to be disabled. The other big annoyance in the stock browser is the double tap to zoom doesn't work (over zooms every time - naturally you have to be in desktop view to see this). There is a setting to alter it but it doesn't help. Firefox works correctly but I end up using the stock browser most of the time and just pinching.
I no longer have this problem. I was stock AT&T, then rooted, then running International ROM with a stock browser that doesn't have the edge zooming. Yes, it did annoy me when I had it.
Wow! You're right! I also changed to a different rom a while back but kind of forgot about the problem. I thought I was being more careful I guess. No! I forgot only because the problem was gone and didn't notice! Yet another reason to get off stock! Great info, big :Thumbup:

GS4 lag, weird discovery

So we all know the GS4 out of the box has some atrocious lag. Well I went through the steps to clear a lot of it out without rooting. Just stock, and changing some settings within the OS itself. But I was still noticing some small lag here and there. Well it turns out I put my GS4 on the charger and start using it, and I notice that there is significantly less lag, I unplug it, and then it goes back to usual lag. I have done this back and forth a couple of times, with the same results.
So could it be that Samsung ramps up the CPU when on the charger?

I never experienced lag on this phone until yesterday and I noticed google services was using uo my battery. Went to the google settings and there is a new option call android device manager and I unchecked all the location settings and lag gone. Also if you have google currents go into settings and disable background sync.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Checked that and it's completely off. I wouldn't put it past Samsung do that, we've already seen them ramp up the processor and gpu for the benchmark rests, my guess is that they lower the clock speed when not charging or maybe below a certain percentage.

No lag here. Sorry to hear that bro

It's not like it's everywhere, it's just in a few places, like hangouts, where my One never lagged, or sometimes a jitter when swiping through apps or home screens. Guess I'm just not used to it coming from the One. But there is a difference in performance when plugged into a charger and not.

Watch a movie on the one or play a game. Its night and day compared to the S4.
My cousin has the one. YouTube takes at least 2 more seconds, worse quality, and skips.
Games skip/lag, and loading time is longer for the One.
You gotta take the good with the bad with either phone.

That is true, the YouTube app is much more solid on the GS4. But one small thing is that I get this huge black bar at the top of my YouTube app when I switch from portrait to landscape. Anyone know how to fix that?

That's just the app itself. That's not even a problem. If something like that REALLY bother you, then you're EXTREMELY anal about things.
P.s. I think you're a ONE fanboy that came on here to put down the S4.

Crashes a lot less on note3 but still does funky stuff other than crash. Note2 was problematic. Lots of crashes.

The XDA app always sucked (especially notifications), so I switched to Tapatalk after it went free. The only thing I don't much like about Tapatalk VS XDA is that you can't "mark all as read" for certain sections suchs all the "Participated (Unread)" threads; have to either ignore or read each one one-by-one
XDA Premium is really bad. Hard to fathom how they put that out. I use Tapatalk Pro/paid whatever and it is pretty reliable. I had to start over the app every time I switch screens on XDA. It used to work okay.
Is not only on note 3, I have nexus 10, I have a same problem all time crashes...... Ironic.... Xda crashes and no body fix it

lol same here, soo annoying. I hate to ditch the xda app but thinking about using the Tapatalk app, I also really really hate the new layout/ui of the xda app. I have an older backup of the premium app (think it's like 2.2.1 or some shizz) and have always found my way around on that version. 4.doh! and above is confusing and a headache!
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda premium
I guess I'm in the minority, as I use the latest XDA Premium app daily without problems, and have for over a year. The only issue I have is that sometimes when I switch to another app and then back to XDA, it relaunches the app rather than going back to whatever page I was on, and even that doesn't happen very often...

Xda has been crashing ever since I've joined xda honestly they never get it right. It's a sight by developers For Developers Yet They Can't Get It Right lol

Does it just crash randomly, or is there a specifix action that causes it to crash for you guys? I'm real curious about this now, because as I've said, I've used it on 3 different phones and dozens of ROMs and I don't think I've had it crash on me even once.
