Had scroll jerkiness issues on HTC one m7. Turned off hardware acceleration, killed app and started again. Seems to have fixed it.

Same and I can't really reproduce it. Sometimes it works flawlessly for a few hours, sometimes it logs me out every 30 seconds. Clearing data works for a short time, then the problem reappears. :smith:

Nexus 5 / 5.1 (I also have an ancient Asus Transformer where it never occured)

My gut tells me the loading failed is a result of forums crappiness and the logging out is a bug in awful but it's just a hunch

I have embeds turned off in my forum settings (and in the app, I guess) and it's never logged me out.

I get loading failed sometimes if I use the task-switcher to switch back to Awful after it's been sitting in the background for a little while. Never been logged out by the app either, though. Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7inch on 4.4.4 (lol @ that name)

This checks out since I have zero issues and have everything disabled to save my battery (and my hands because my phone gets hot when using awful with all that poo poo turned on)

The latest update is fuckin' weird on my phone. The forums list and thread list in a forum always display as half-screen-width columns which makes them really loving difficult to read on my S3. Any way I can go back to the old full-screen display style?

Are you in phone layout mode in the options? You might need to close and restart the app to get it to kick in, or maybe just rotate the screen or something

The app hasn't been logging me out for the last 10 hours! It really seems that activating the webm embeds was the problem. I didn't use this very often anyways. Thanks a lot! :v:

For some reason the app no longer prompts me to display gifs inline anymore. It always wants to display them in a separate browser window. Updating the app didn't help. What do?

Check Settings -> Posts -> Always Open Links and see if it got switched to on accidentally.

I do this to myself all the drat time and if you ask me the option should be removed from the context menu and should be just in the settings.

Ugh. I upped the shadows to make it more similar to what Google actually uses. Do you have hardware acceleration disabled in the settings by any chance?

I noticed that somehow Settings -> Device and navigation -> Hardware acceleration got turned off on my Turbo. I don't remember touching it.

Turned it back on, and everything is super smooth again. :shrug:

Scrolling down to the bottom of "Device and navigation" turns off the setting for me. Turning it on and then exiting settings without scrolling down fixed the lag on all themes as well.

Yep, that did it for me too. Makes sense because I went through all the setting recently just to see what was what. I don't think I had actually touched them in at least a year before that.

Can confirm, making the Device and Navigation pane scrollable and then scrolling down to the bottom turns off hardware acceleration for some reason.

E: scrolling toggles Disable GIFs Animations off as well it seems

Ok the preferences thing is google's fault. Let's all blame google
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=26194
Should be aight next update, so that would be a good time to go through and check everything's set right!

This might explain why people are getting weird layouts (like tablet layout on phones) and maybe other stuff you're not meant to be able to turn on...

I'll clarify what my problem is. With some threads the app won't load new posts. It will say new posts were written, I can even have written one of them in the app, but it will only display the last page I viewed on the app from however many hours or days earlier. Refreshing or restarting the phone don't resolve the problem.

I've had 10-20 logouts per day before I disabled the embeds. Since then there has been virtually none, so I suppose it's highly likely.

On the other hand, I've had them enabled and don't have the same issue. But I'm on a stock Moto X 2013, and no one who's actually having the issue is willing to part with the model of their device or the Android version they're using. My guess is they don't want to be shamed for using a Samsung device or a niche XDA nightly.

Not true. I already wrote it last page: Nexus 5 @5.1 :colbert:
