If I remember correctly, the forums code automatically "fixes" the video url so it becomes "..-mobile-mobile-..."
I thought JoY fixed that but apparently it's still a thing.

After the latest update my phone freezes for a few seconds after I go back from Twitter when I open it through Awful App, is this a thing?

Edit: major lag going back to the awful app from any app apparently

So I guess it's not just me. Or you if you came here to report this :v:

It's also slow when just toggling to the app switcher and back as well as to the reply screen and back.
I'm guessing it's a webview update or something but hadn't had time to investigate.

Settings > device and navigation

Maybe we should, instead of automatically using tablet mode, instead show a pop-up once that asks the user "yo is this a tablet y/n?", then use that to populate this setting initially.

I looked it up and we calculate the screen size in inch. Everything above 6.5" is considered a tablet.
:allears:

I guess we can update this to like 7.0 but lol if you buy a phone this big maybe you should be stuck with tablet mode.

Google just needs to get rid of Tablet Mode, because that poo poo's ugly, dumb, and useless on an actual tablet.

Instead of looking at screen size you should probably just look at aspect ratio. A tablet will not have anywhere near the kind of aspect ratio that a phone will have and tablet mode is built around a screen that is more square.

Tablets are usually around the standard 4:3 and 16:10 sizes, while modern phones are typically around 20:9. Maybe use both stats? Large screen and square aspect ratio?

Works fine on my phone running 6.0.1. So, the first question is, do you have an update for Webview?

I get the same thing on mine (Moto G6 Play) but it very obviously got way worse after my system update a week or so back. Same as a lot of other apps, so I figured it was related to that.

My Pixel 3a was fine until today. I installed the March feature update thing this morning. Think webview updated last week though.

I'm seeing it on page load as well as app switching

Is there any way to throw OP a few bucks for their work on it?

what OS version and Chrome/Webview version are youse all on with the slow problem thing

In the import picker it's Internal Storage > awful and it should be in there

But it looks like if you hit Export and you haven't granted write permission, if you say yes it doesn't actually do the export - you have to hit Export again after granting the permission

that said it should pull in your prefs from the online backup when you install the app? doesn't hurt to export the settings just to be sure. All that stuff's pretty old but as far as I'm aware it still works?

A10 and whatever the most current chome version is. It doesn't happen for me right away, it will take on or two threads until I notice the slowdown when coming back to the app.
I also noticed that it happens in the previous version as well, I have an old beta build of 3.6.8 and it does the same thing.
I checked and there is no error in the web console. Haven't checked the logcat though.

Oh and it's just when you tab out on the threadview , anything native is fine.

oh right guess I should update that emulator from 9 :v: love that there's no info on what this new update involves

I'll have a go at profiling it and see if I can spot anything
