[REQUEST] Word With Friends ICS Fix

---

Seems that Words With Friends will freeze without FC on ICS. I've tried this on several ICS roms all with the same freezing result. Any ideas on a fix?

Its a problem with words with friends.....there is a lot of people running ICS and Honeycomb on different devices that are all having FC and other problems with it

If its freezing after every time you play a word, right after the ad, try pressing the lock button, then unlocking your phone. Its annoying, but it keeps it from freezing, for me at least.

I had this problem on superlite. After the ad, it would freeze with a black screen, and i'd have to close it with the task manager and re-open it.

Awkwardly enough, reflashing the ROM fixed my problem. this seemed to be repeateable cause it froze up on my when i tried smoothie as well. but a reflash fixed it there =\ not sure whats going on with words with friends.

Sorry I no longer play words with friends, but draw something doesn't freeze up on me. I have played it on both Team Perfection, and Sky ICS.

Did you ever find a solution to this? Did you try reflashing your rom as recommended by other responses in this thread? I have flashed almost every ics rom, some a number of times, and it always occurs. It is the only thing keeping me on GB roms now that Embryo has (almost completely) solved the ICS tethering issues on the skyrocket.

The only thing I can think of left to do is email Zynga and ask them to fix their app to make it compatible with ICS. However, I am running ICS on a TPrime and it has never occured, so can't be sure it is just ICS. And it appears that not every phone has this issue on ICS. However, do a search on XDA on "words with friends" freezes (put words with friends in quotes, then add freezes) and you will find a lot of posts on this topic for various phones, but it appears to occur most often on CM9 roms on various phones as well as ICS skyrocket roms.

Mine does this as well, and the app says there is an update, but when I go, it says my phone is not supported.

I was having this issue as well, and even though I hate doing it, I found a full words with friends w/ no ads apk and side loaded it.

Removing the ads fixed the freezing issue.

That is the only recommendation I can offer.

As someone mentioned, if you lock your screen right before the ad, that usually saves it from freezing as well.
