Is it just me or is the search function on the xda app useless? Any time I search for something it points me to random threads and when I go into the thread I see nothing about my search.
Anyone?

LOL normally its good for just matching the thread title but this is pain specially if the thread has 1000 posts in that case you are out of luck. Mostly you will see page number narrowing it down and matching search field highlighted. Why not use google's cache? "XDA <search string>" always worked as I mostly rely on google's crawler to even find my thread/post.
Indeed. Search in this site is just too primitive.

I am using the app and can't find subscriptions. The closest thing is Profile --> "View all posts by MPG187" but that doesn't show if anyone replied and view all topics only shows threads I started and not other people's topics I replied to and it lists old topics at the top, could it have new ones at the top?

Have you tried the favorites tab?
I'm looking for this feature as well. In the web format of the forum, i have it set so any thread I post in is automatically added to subscriptions. So I can quickly see if there are any replies to the threads I am interested in by going to the user cp page. It would be nice to have a user cp page for the xda app also, instead of having to favorite every thread you post in.
Edit: apparently, favorites in the app is the same as subscriptions. I just noticed my posts made on pc (thus are subscribed to) are automatically showing up in the favorites tab. But posts made in the xda app are not automatically subscribed to, or added to favorites.

As this thread is 8 years old, I imagine the whole thing has changed since his post
why am i being directed to random advertisement when using google's search engine to find xda forum?
im typing xda forum on search engine, when the suggestions are listed and i click ed on the first one, i dont go directly to xda forum, but to some advertisement.. so what i did, i typed the complete address... [forum.xda-developers.com] it wasnt used to be like this...
That is an issue you need to take up with Google.
XDA does not control what shows up via a Google search. Best bookmark the site, or ignore the sponsored links and use the "real" entries in Google
I typed XDA into google search and clicked the first link and it brought me right to the front page.
There are Google ads that appear on top of the XDA Google search. Just try to avoid them if they are annoying. Glance at the URL to see where it's taking you.
Does anyone have any suggestions for VOIP calls on the evo?
I'd like to have some sort of google voice integration with it if possible. I visit a few places with no cell signal that do have wifi access. Anyone used any good span services for this?
Pardon my lack of thorough searching... this xda app doesn't seem to lend itself to searching very well...

You can always use Google to search for answers, then tag xda at the end. It is easier than using the native search function

I use "site:xda-developers.com (search criteria)" in Google to search xda instead of the native search app.
When I try to favorite a forum and exit the the app then enter it again it doesn't save it.
Its not only that though; When trying to post a photo in a post or topic the app says, "you need to login before you can post photos", when I am logged in.
The app also says to contact an administrator if this error occurs again, which it has over and over, so if there are any admins out there I'd love to report the issue.
Thanks!

Shoot them an email through their market page. I have had many issues with the newest release as well.
-Can't upload photos
-crashing when reading threads
-videos/photos not showing up
-app crashing when viewing a photo-
app crashes when grabbing thread URL in app
I'm guilty of not actually attempting to debug these issues in any way, but none the less they are all there and can be replicated with ease.
I'm having the same issue also

You could use the tapatalk app instead.

Dear xda-team,
is there any possibility to filter the news page by multiple tags?
I would like to configure my account (web and xda premium app!), to only show xda news and forum-links.
Basically make use of the new news section as if it were the old
There is just too much noise within the linked articles and the xda premium app just shows the xda news, not forum-links anymore...
Thanks!
[If this question was asked somewhere else, please integrate my post into that thread, could not find anything with the "uncommon" terms xda, news, portal, new...]
*bump*
Any answer on this or please a hint where this question / suggestion will get a reply?
@FosCoJ,
Please use the feedback/recommendations thread for your requests for new features - they'te more likely to get noticed that way.
