Full reset or CWM wipe?
yes i did a full wipe, but i did a titanium backup and restored my settings and the app. Could it be anything to do with that?
You checked whether blocking mode is switched on?

Tend NOT to trust any backups, integrity/compatibility wise...
Go for the clean sweep and try again
I always install facebook from scratch after a data wipe. Whenever I've restored it, notifications don't work or they come very late. Other than that I've never had a problem restoring apps with Titanium. Also when restoring with Titanium, only restore USER DOWNLOADED apps, not system apps.

Edit: Randomly started working straight after submitting report to facebook.
For about a week my facebook app hasnt been working properly but i thought its because they are planning an update so i let it be. But now, after the update, its still the same...
All i get when trying to check a feed or profile is this stupid loading screen..
Ive tried the basics eg. Wipe cache/data, uninstall then re-install.
Any ideas?

The updated facebook app appeared this morning and is a vast improvement i have to say, i may even start using it again over m.facebook.com in my browser.

Sounds like too much hassle for just getting an app to work.
I checked the mobile site just now and its also f***ed up.

I've restored my backups from the app 'My Backup', and all my apps are still there, but I thought it was supposed to save my apps settings too? I've lost save games, opera bookmarks aren't there, whatsapp conversation logs gone.The phone just installed these apps and games as though they'd never been used before. I've also had to redo certain other phone settings that I thought My Backup was meant to take care of. What's up with that? Isn't the idea of a backup app to get your phone to be exactly as it was before a reset, including exactly where you left off in any given app or game?

I think you need root for that app to restore app data and settings.

Yes you need root to back up game data and other settings
Damn. Well thanks guys, at least I know. So if I rooted now, do the backups I currently have saved contain my settings, ie, can I still get my settings back, or would the phone have to be have been rooted before the backups were created?

I believe you'd have needed root privileges prior to the backup, to read from the /data partition.

ok, well final thought, what about kies? I did a backup on that yesterday. Does kies restore user settings?

For apps? No. Kies wouldn't back up app data/settings anyways. Even if you DID have root.

Ah well, such is life. Still, I noticed my memo app was empty, something else My Backup didn't do. Fortunately kies just restored all my memos. Not that I'd generally trust kies for backing up other things, it's so unreliable.

Indeed. I tried using Kies for various things (including updates) for about 2 weeks, but generally found it useless.
So I've read the homescreen / re-draw lag posts & Ive tried everything suggested with no luck.
Problem is my GS3 lags constantly, bringing up messages, contacts, app drawer, everything. On the lockscreen the ripple lag is like 2-3 seconds, its getting extremely frustrating. Ive tried checking in OS monitor for a CPU lockup but theres nothing I can see that would be causing it.
Im running Omega V3, Apex launcher, on Vodafone Australia.
The other issue im having is my browser is f/c ALL the time, pretty much everytime I use it, it locks up for about 10 secs then returns to homescreen with the message saying Interent has stopped working.
Have reinstalled ROM twice, its runs super quick until I reinstall apps from Titanium Backup, then it just drags. Would there be a conflict with an app / data from my GS2 backup? Is there a way I can run a log to check? I have Android Assistant, and have checked the log, but im too much of a noob to know what to look for, although it seems to be running a lot of debug lines but I dont know if thats normal..
Thanks in advance.
The restoration of backup sounds like the cause. I recommend you restore the apps one at a time or in small batches. That way you can figure out which app is causing the problem.
my apex launcher is usually fast , but i've aswell that 3sec lag when i push homebutton.but that happens only sometimes.
ive also ticked that option to keep launcher in ram...
iam using omega rom and no bloatware or s voice

Thanks for that. Thats what I was thinking, or more hoping!. Maybe not the app itsself but perhaps the data...
I will do another full wipe & install tonight and check.

Exactly what I was thinking. Do your fresh install, then restore the apps only and see how that works out.

Thanks man all sorted. I think an app, most likely APex, was trying to force a certain screen resolution..
I have also had problems with titanium restoration. Also solves the problem.

Afternoon guys,
So i've just updated from ICS (XXDLI8) to JB (DLJ4), used the download from samfirmware and Odin, then factory reset in the phone so that my internal SD was completely fresh/new, all good so far, but afterwards, when I tried to restore the backup I had made in ICS of my SMS/MMS, instead of grouping all my messages together in a single thread per person, it had a separate thread for each individual reply... giving me over 4000 threads O_O
Has anyone else experienced this? If not, I guess there might be a glitch that occurred during flashing with Odin and i'll just re-do it in a bit
I did the same thing but mine worked perfectly. Just try again and good luck
Hmmmm
Ok, so i've just wiped and re-flashed the ROM with Odin, restored my messages and the exact same thing has happened, every message has it's own thread... I was hoping a re-flash would fix any glitch but it doesn't look like it!
Anyone have any ideas?
I had the same trouble with all JB Roms I tried, asked the same question and got no answer/fix. So for now I'm using CM10 based rom's and no trouble.

It's a bit frustrating! But at least it's only SMS/MMS rather than something OS breaking haha. I guess i'll just have to live with it!
Wow, finally I have found this thread....... oh, and I guess im not the only one having this issue then.
Yep, same here. I flashed a rooted stock rom (DLJ4) too and same issue here. I restored all my messages but the conversation/threaded messages are no more.
I did reflash a few times but to no avail.
Can someone please advise me and the OP.....
Many thanks

Same ROM?
Also, I have just recieved a few messages from someone and all three messages show up seperatley!!
Forgot to mention, the SMS app I am using is the AOSP (google)one.
As you guys have figured out, My Backup sucks sometimes for backing up and restoring SMS messages. I flash various different Sammy JB ROMS fairly frequently. I would suggest using a dedicated program. I've always used the free app called SMS Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu, and have never had any problems.
Use titanium and use the .xml restore methods in future
AOSP SMS on Samsung based ROMs has that issue. Happened to me on Dragon ROM when I chose AOSP messaging. Worked fine when I flashed again, this time with stock Samsung messaging app. Try reverting to Samsung stock messaging and check. Who knows, it might resolve the issue. Good luck.
Alternatively, you can use SMSBackup+ to backup your messages and call logs to your Gmail account. Works like a charm for me. You won't need to restore the messages as they are just a click away.

Really appriciate the responses guys.
Just to clarfy a few things.
I have been using "SMS Backup & Restore Pro" (for a while) and it has always restored my messages without any issues (threaded messages restore properly). These were usually ICS Roms and "AOSP" JB Roms.
So I'm guessing its not the app itself. Having said that, I will try the app someone mentioned a few posts above- which links to Gmail. Sounds good.
Also, the person that mentioned about Titanium backup, I think you might have the answer.....I usually restore all apps and settings via Titanium. When it gives me the option for XML or Snapshot (I think), usually I choose XML but this time I chose Snapshot. So, I will reflash again and restore with Titanium but this time choosing XML. I will let you know if this works.
Finally, the person who mentioned about reverting to Stock Samsung messageing app, I have tried it but still get the same issue.
Thanks to all of you for responding and for your suggestions. :good:
I will get back here once I have reflashed. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you
ok guys.
I have flashed a few different Roms now and still have the same issue.....even with the samsung messaging app.
This is really frustrating me now!!
@ Slaphead20, can you advise me on how you did the .XML restore?
I tried but can not seem to find the option.
The option after I flash a ROM where it asks me whether I want to choose XML or snapshot doesnt seem to have appeared with the Roms I have been flashing. (Omega/sotmax & Haldric)
Hi, well tbh I just tap on the titanium loss for each one and restore, so I'm going to check in the preferences menu and see what I might of set up to get it working.....back in a bit!

I can't find the exact setting, so it might be a case of having to delete the titanium app settings backup that it creates on ext sd and re configure the app, but in the menu there are two relevant entries but I'm not messing with them to experiment as all is working for me......and if it ain't broke........ ..
Well, i'm at my witts end with 4.3. I'm having problems receiving text messages, wifi connection issues and batter drain problems that didnt exist until after i updated to 4.3 I have tried every possible solution i can find, and am having no luck resolving any of my issues.
I'm considering a factory reset. I am rooted, and am running titanium back-up. Since I have never done a factory reset, i thought i would check in with you guys and seek some advice and get the easiest most painless way to accomplish it.
Any advice is appreciated.

There is no magic to it, back up your apps and let it fly!
Yes, you can prepare a little more than that.
I personally use Apex launcher. If you use that or another that is not stock, you usually have the option of backing up your settings and desktops before you reset.
Also, if you like to keep your text messages, I like to use SMS Backup/restore.
Make SURE all of your contacts are saved to Google and not your device only.
when using Tibu..make sure you backup all of your user apps using batch "Back up all user apps"
Do NOT use the back up system data options.
You are assured to have issues when restoring.

I've done a factory reset on my S4 with Hyperdrive, and the result was a fresh rooted phone with my custom ROM. I suspect you will have a similar experience and not need to re-root and/or install your ROM again. Google should remember what apps you had installed and ask you if you want to restore them, but if you have anything important saved in the apps you will want to restore them from a backup made with Titanium (or a similar app). Good luck.
