Anyone else notice that the most current update to Flipboard (Build 210, Oct 25th) now runs constantly in the background, even after it is closed? Does anyone happen to have an apk for the version just before this one?
Yeah it happened in one of the last updates. I've posted a Play Store review with 1 star, that this behavior results in instant uninstall of my phone. I've gone back to Feedly now for RSS, who offers great experience.

It's because of the audio functionality that has been built in. It has ZERO effect on battery life from what I've seen.

But it eats ram I dont even use the audio feature. I have also written review warning that I'll stop using the app if they don't fix this.

Interesting - just wondering, why do you suspect its bc of audio? My audio player and podcast player both get cached and then quickly disappear even from cache

It isnt using RAM enough to affect anything or Android would have shut it down. You choose to uninstall it if you'd like but it's having no real negative effect on your system so i see no need for them to change anything.
I'm just assuming so because that is the only change this update brought that could have caused that kind of behavior. As for why they didn't code it to cache itself, I can't speak to that except to say that Flipboard is coded first and foremost for iOS and then Android so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't just overlooked or if their devs are still learning the ropes of Android.

I've got the latest market version installed and I don't have this issue. Flipboard is in my running tasks right after I back out of it, but after a while it drops out of the running apps list. It's still in my processes list, but I assume that's so it can periodically update my feeds.
Can you add the option to use a dark/black theme throughout instead please (kind of like pulse), this would be a great feature for night time, especially AMOLED screens.

1381You know how Flipboard was exclusive only to the Galaxy S III? Sure, you can stand in line and wait for the official launch for the Android app, but since we are all buddies here...
It's simple, I just had a Galaxy S III lying around and I extracted the .apk using AirDroid. So, there you go.
Woot! My favorite site has covered me - http://blog.gsmarena.com/flipboard-...gs-cool-news-feeds-to-non-galaxy-s-iii-users/
About the S Voice, I no longer have the phone with me. But I'll try my best to get it again and extract everything you guys have asked for. Stay tuned.
