Hi all

Having this annoying problem with some apps stopping and starting after a period of time. Facebook and some Samsung games for example. Facebook doesn't load properly but once you turn the wifi off and on the problem is solved. Same story with games.

Searching on Google is fine. I've deleted and downloaded the apps again and the problem is still there.

Help would be awesome.

What is the 'period of time' you refer to? Hours? Days? Do you reboot your phone daily?

I have not noticed this problem with facebook (don't play any games other than chess) but I also reboot my phone every morning while it's still on the charger.

Android phones really need a daily reboot to clear out all the crap running in the back group and clear out any little leftover conflicts. It also makes for maximum battery potential.

Also, are you using the Active App manager widget? This will tell you what is left running and you might be able to find the conflicting app and kill it off. That would be helpful as well.

Facebook comes up with an error saying cannot load feed. You turn the wifi off the back on then it's fine. When playing the game it won't continue in certain places reset the wifi and it works. No real time. Just does it randomly.

I reboot the phone and it appears again not long after.
