Facebook has confirmed that its application for iOS devices was consuming battery unusual way iPhones due to a bug that the app enter loop wanting execute functions without getting an answer.
As explained Ari Grant, chief engineer of the social network Facebook profile, the problem identified was that the application was still active and when it crawled out, because somehow believed he had pending tasks to execute.
“The first problem we encountered was a loop in the CPU of the code of social network. A loop of CPU’s like when a child goes on a auto and asks How long? How long? How long? with an answer that does not result in any progress towards the final destination, “said Grant.
However, that was not the only problem your device to drain the battery faster, but there was a second conflict: audio sessions that were open. According to Grant, when you reproducías a video, but not will activate the audio, and then you closed the app, for a development problem this option was enabled, as if it were reproduced in the background, but the executive said that nothing was playing and that was a mistake.
“The issue really was not doing anything while she was awake in the background, but using more battery power by simply being awake. Our solutions will solve this problem,” said Grant . With rumors that were a problem with the geolocation permanent executive said it had nothing to do with this.
Grant did not say whether this problem, besides draining the battery, also towards the app consume more data than it should.
The latest update of Facebook in addition to solving these problems has allowed an improved tool for Web and mobile search, which allow the app show you people, friends and pages that are talking about the issue for which you ask him.
