Keyboard very SLOW while typing on Twitter app - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello people. Im new on this forum but Im sure you can help me with my question.
I have a XT910 since October 2013 and my Twitter app (official client) had always run smooth. Since, like, March of 2014 (5, 6 updates maybe?), the keyboard runs EXTREMELY slow when typing, and i've noticed this only happens on the official Twitter app. I had tried three keyboards, the stock one, Swype and Emoji 7 i think. With the three keyboards i had the same problem.
What I did was uninstalling Twitter, and downloading Tweedle, the best client i had found ATM. The thing is that this app has less options than Twitter and I really need to use it nice.
So I'll wait until Twitter fixes this problem (on the Twitter critics on Google Play, a lot of people had commented the same problem).
Meanwhile I hope there is a fix for this.
Had already factory reset twice, installed CM11, now im currently in stock JB again, but no fixes. I hope you can help me.
Sorry for my bad english
Thanks!

I'm facing the exact same issue, it appeared after the introduction of the new twitter app (with the revamped interface). I have an Xperia L with Android 4.2 stock, and before the update everything worked smoothly... It's the only app that lags this phone tbh. I hope they fix this soon...

I think i have a temporal solution. What i did was download the Twitter 5.0.5 apk, this one is the first version with all the new last features and design, and it runs nice.
Now go to Google Play and disable automatic updates.
Download Titanium Backup and with this app you can unconnect the Twitter app with Google Play, so it wont ask you for an update (you need pro version of titanium backup).
Twitter 5.0.5 seems to run good on my Droid Razr, i hope this "fix" can help other people with different devices having the same problem. Keep the apk because if the app gets updated (by mistake)you can do the process again.
Thanks! I hope it works.

Great! Thank you for the work around. Do you know if I will need root to use that specific feature from Titanium Backup?

is "temporal" solution the same as temporary?

2.1 is so so slow

Not sure why so many apps are consuming so much CPU power. Like face recognition, home, other google stuff. It's been over a day and still theses apps are processing or whatever they are doing
Kinda disappointed with 2.1 atm.

I rooted my X10 and deleted all Sony dumb apps, no my X10 with 2.1 is Ok
I rooted mine as well, but haven't deleted the Sony crap yet. Could you refer me to a few threads here so I can do so as well.
I'm so close to dumping this X10 :/

Simply use Titanium Backup to freeze apps. No need to delete anything.
I noticed huge lag as well while playing with the phone for the first 15mins and thought it would get used to the new OS, it didn't. One solution I found, and worked for many people was simply restarting the phone. Now my phone doesn't seem like the same laggy X10 I had. For Titanium Backup info and instructions, here is the developer's official wiki: http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php if that doesn't help use the search feature on XDA, or Google it...
Also when deleting Sony apps be careful things like Mediascape are used for putting contact pics in your phonebook, etc. It is also the default mediaplayer so don't delete it. Same with Timescape, if you use your phonebook contacts connected from facebook, I noticed some data is taken from Timescape.
Somethings that I can confirm are safe to delete:
1. Moxier Mail
2. Wise Pilot
3. Creatouch
Before doing this, backup everything with Titanium Backup, no harm in backing up
Well I've been running 2.1 since the day it was released and I've rooted but haven't uninstalled anything and everything is running smoothly for me. As it is for my two mates.
It runs a lot faster then the Galaxy S 2.1.
I haven't come across any lag yet.

I followed the advice on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826491
i just installed the update but my phone kindda lagg..
any solutions on this?
Just wait for few minutes. New Dalvik VM is on its way so it is a bit slow to start . Give it ~10-15 mins.
Patience Required
I have done some research and testing, Found that mainly face recon, media apps, Google Sync, where draining power but leaving on phone overnight, charging it had finished processing all the pictures and synced data on my phone, of course you can remove apps but I wouldn't recommend any SE based ones as they all control certain parts to improve phone quality.

I was one of the first that got the oficiall 2.1 update and i stumbled upon something.
When i got it i just used google sync on almost everything. but then i realised i needed some apps that i had made a backup of by using MyBackup PRO. So i thought that "oh well, might just sync the contacts again".
Thats when all hell started to break loose on my poor phone, it was lagging like CRAZY, all the time. Didnt matter what i did, still the same issue...
So i formated and reinstalled everything on the phone, and everything was going extremly smooth. Like the first time experience all over again.
Then i realized "Damn, i havent restored my contacts" and then it hit me. All my problems started when i restored contacts using ANYTHING else BUT Google's own sync. Cuz once i was going to restore it using MyBackupPro it said something about not being able to restore cuz no Google account was found on contacts, but i already had logged in my entire phone with my google account, exxept syncing my contacts with Google.
So my guess is that they have incorporated the contacts too much with Timescape and Google Sync so if u use like Titanium Pro or MyBackup or watever backup program, it will give u issues with this update.
But its meerly a speculation from my side...
Other Point....
The other thing I did notice a lot of is the developer/Diagnostic tool this I imagine will be used to send logs and stats back to SE for 2.1 optimisations for newer firmware, Though it very random at times.

Yea, i'm curious what is it...
I think i'm going to freeze it with Titanium.
Also another process running is R2R or something.
Anyone knows what is it?
Yea, I was afraid I would have to start from scratch again. Not sure what else to do atm, but "home" is using a lot of cpu power.

Remove "Home" and use a 3rd party launcher (LauncherPro, ADW Launcher)
You will be surprised how much quicker they are
what can be deleted
There is much better way to clean SE garbage applications than manual delete
use SystemApp Remover it is commercial applications it can be found here http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/systemapp-remover_kbyr.html
price is 1$
it works great on rooted x10i
applications are uninstalled from phone as they were never installed.
Safe to uninstall:
Korean keyboard
Japanese keyboard
Chinese keyboard
Danish keyboard
TrackID
moxiemail
quadrapop
backup & recovery
facebook
Wise Pilot
Creatouch
playnow and two accompanying files
there are some others like e-manual etc. But search forum for more complete list and SystemApp Remover can backup applications before uninstall so you can restore them if things go south
for contact backup use SE sync it is a good one if you use other SE phones
that's my 2 cents
R2R

No, I was just wondering since it can cause issues. But for me Edge works with and without it.
Edge EX is also working fine for me on CM9 Alpha 0.6. I didn't do anything special, it just worked.
*ETA: Which version of CM9 are you running? Version 0 and 0.5 had an issue with some games that has been fixed in 0.6
Whole pack is amazing so far. Goo is just amazing and fun same for osmosis and edge is a nail biter. Haven't tried the last on but assuming its half as good as the other three your in for a treat its also the biggest at 150 megs. They all load and play fine on cm9 6

my only issue is that i noticed it doesn't show up in the android market as being installed. however i was able to get to an 'update' option which then said 'you cannot update this app because you did not purchase it'. is there a way to install apps thru the marketplace when you've purchase them elsewhere (sounds ridiculous to me).
i had this happen when i wanted to update an app that i had paid for thru the market quite a long time ago and i ended up clearing the market cache and reinstalling the app with no problems. however, this doesn't fix the issue with these games.

You won't be able to update through the market right now. Osmos and Edge have in app prompts built in to check for updates and allow you to download them. Updates for the other two will be posted to your humble bundle download url and they are working on making a Humble app that does install through the market and checks for updates
http://humble.assistly.com/customer/portal/articles/332858-humble-bundle-for-android-faq
Q: How will my Humble Bundle for Android games be updated? A: If there are any updates to the games, we will post them to your download page. There will be a timestamp, letting you know when the newest version was posted.
Also, the latest builds of EDGE and Osmos will have an in-app update feature -- if they notice that Humble Bundle has a new build, it will show a dialog box asking if you'd like to update. We're hoping to work with the developers to have this feature added to the other games.
Finally, we're beta testing a Humble Bundle Android app that will organize your Humble Bundle for Android games, and alert you when a new version is available. We'll be sure to let you know when the app goes live!

Short answer is go back to the same page you downloaded from and updates will be posted there.
If you want to check if there is and update you can check the game's Google market page. If an update is available, the update button will appear, but you won't be able to use it.
You can also check the Humble Bundle's Twitter feed as they have been posting there when updates are made available:
http://twitter.com/humble
Eventually, there will be a separate Humble Bundle app that checks all your Humble games for updates and downloads them if there are any, but that app is not out yet.

Facebook Authentication Fail

After taking the ICS update, I've been having some issues with a "facebook authentication fail" error daily. Has anybody else had this problem? It might be another sign to give up on Facebook...google+ works perfectly.
I'm running Nilsp BGS and I get that error also but only about once a week.

I had that issue too after flashing nils rom but not with anything else before. I was on various ics roms. Thought it was because of the ad block script so reflashed, disabled it and haven't had it since.

This will do it. Funny that it worked fine for ICS for so long until they updated a couple weeks ago. FB needs to hire our devs to make their apps.

FWIW, also encountering on an Arnova 10 G2 tablet. I don't think it's ROM-specific or device specific. It's a problem with the app.
It is certainly and issue with ICS as I have seen on other phone forums that this issue is there...
The last known version of Facebook that works is version 1.8.4 which you can find here on xda... Just search...
The version that sits on the phone after un-installing the updates is 1.8.1

Facebook's app is simply terrible. I bought FriendCaster Pro but even it doesn't display everything in my news feed for some reason.
Lately I've just been using the mobile site. Make a shortcut to it and it "feels" like an app
Actually, its a conflict between the latest official Facebook App and HTCs Sense Facebook App.
Basically, use the old version of Facebook or freeze/remove the Sense FB app. I removed the HTC version and haven't seen any differences in functionality or features.

Thats what I thought too until I removed htc facebook from my ROMs. Now if I install facebook from the market it does the same thing. So I don't think its caused by htc's facebook. I solved it by just not installing facebook but that solution only works for me.
Perhaps its also the HTC FB chat then. I removed both at the same time because I never use chat.
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many people with the same problem. #FacebookSucks

[Q] Facebook Messenger Crashing

Hi there, proud new owner here, a tiny bit dissapointed with washed out colours /Im coming from an unbeatable amoled screen of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7/ and not being able to sync my Jawbone Up /did anyone manage to find a solution for that?/, but my main problem is facebook messenger crashing. Does that happen to any of you? I¨m C6833 14.2.A.0.290. THANKS!
Oh, I think it actually might be due to a microphone not working properly, I am on UK C6833 with the lates firmware update. Just run the device test and it is showing me that "microphone failed" every time, also attempted some recordings and there's no sound. Does anyone else have a problem with mic? Should I have it replaced?

AFAIK, the device test tests the hardware connection itself as well as drivers etc, so if it's failing I think it's a hardware issue. I'd get it fixed on warranty if I were you. Who's your network?

Have you tried Skype? I mean, you could try it and see if it works there (do a test call), and if it does, it's clearly something with the messenger app and not the hardware.
And, this thread should be in the Q&A section and not general.

Facebook or more Apps problem with bootloader unlocked Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6806)
After factory reset my beloved C6806 (Sony Xperia Z Ultra ) and unlocking the bootloader through the Sony official unlocking procedure, I found my Facebook, Gmail, SMS and more apps started failing to run. Especially Facebook app, it just worked once after fresh installation. After restarting the phone, the Facebook app was no longer work. The screen kept flashing several times and then exited. I was never able to make it work again.
The only way to reviving the Facebook app was through clearing data in the app (Settings>Apps>Facebook>Clear Data). However, It required login to Facebook again then worked until the phone restarting. The same symptom repeats again, again and again. I am so frustrated because the problem of instability then extended to more apps. I had also tried to install Messenger or old version of Facebook App but there was no luck at all to solve the problem. The phone started running unstable.
I originally planned to install a custom ROM and root the phone in order to resolve the problems. In that moment, I had an idea and guessed that the problems might be caused by the bootloader. The I use Flashtool and lock the bootloader.
Wow La .................. All the problems are solved and no more problem existed.
If you have the same problem with Sony smartphone and the phone is bootloader unlocked, please try to relock the bootloader again. It may solve most of your problems.
Additional note: Some people have mentioned the problem of Xperia For Facebook. This is the hint for me to think about the source of problem coming from the bootloader. Sony's default apps have a habit to check the bootloader status of the phone before running like FOTA Update. No more update is avail for those unlocked bootloader Xperia smartphones. So do not use Official ROMs if you want to unlock bootloader. (However, many apps will stop running with custom ROMs like bank apps or Google Pay.) Please install custom ROMs with unlocked bootloader Xperia smartphone. Do not keep using the Official Version ROMs because this will be your beginning of nightmare.

........calm down. You can't base your conclusion on that vague investigation.
Stock rom is so old and abandoned sony haven't added anything new to it like blocking facebook.
Yes some app developers are starting to block access to rooted devices is different ways.
There is no signs that facebook ie microsoft is blocking rooted devices yet.
But recently google is implementing only a simple block so you cant download the app from play store. But you can simply install the apk manually.
You should try something else first. Like flashing a stock rom ftf. Wiping the whole phone after the unlock including internal storage and sdcards. Even if unlocking wipes the phone.

Sony Movies/Video app for Xperia X?!

Guys, Why the Sony Movies/Video app version 9.6.A.0.4 or any older version not working for our X model. It has features like Video minimise option and we can see every video thumbnails in single tab! Our X model has entirely different Video app. I don't want that app.
When i tried to install the above mentioned version app or any older one's the app closing even not opening for a second! Sometimes the app works when i cleared cache but the app seems to having a glitch and then it closes! Does anyone knows how to install that app without root?
I can use the app in my old Xperia ZR but it's not working in X!

Don't worry mate, I have a solution for you. Works perfectly on .97. It's kinda old but works perfectly.

You are installing it over the existing Video app. Uninstall it first.

I already tried disabling the stock video and video remote apps and then installed your app. Still doesn't worked!
Look for the problem on your device. Everything is OK for me.
Also, have you uninstalled the Movies/Video app itself before installing the mine one? They have different signatures, you know.
I cleared data and disabled stock video app and Installed your app but it's not installing. It says "App not installed". Mine was stock rom 8.0 with latest July Security patch!.
I once tried installing 9.6.A.0.4 and some below version at that time it installed but didn't opened for a second. But when i do cleared cache it worked for a little time and then the app had glitch and stopped working. I did this a month ago!

If you are unsatisfied, I can record you a video where I am installing this app to the same stock 8.0 ROM with July security patches.

The deal is not in kernel, but in libs + Android version. Guess there is a way to make the new Video app work, but it'll require root.
Also, there is no good and lightweight alternative to Video/Movies app, sadly.
No need man. I installed the Video app from apkmirror. I don't understand why your app doesn't worked for me but i installed the same version app you gave me, from apkmirror and it worked! Thank you very much man. I never thought I can use this app in X dual!
I don't know what the problem is. But the thing is latest Video app from apkmirror do work but the app is having a glitch sometimes it closes saying "app closed". But when i deny app permission like calling and clearing cache, these tricks do working for little time! See the app glithc screenshot below! Ignore the yellow light i just activated night light app!
Okay now i am doomed now i don't have the video rotate feature within the app! What the hell is wrong with Sony?! Sony apps are not working on Sony smartphones?! Why? Why Sony Why?!?
