Develop Bugs

Disappointed with new xda app.

Just downloaded, and now whenever I open a thread it opens on the first page!
Edit: now last page.
I know there's a paid version which includes options for which page to open on as default. But to me it's not cool to take this functionality away from the free users or at least don't downgrade our experience with this I assume vastly unpopular default.
Edit: last page is definitely an improvement over first but why take away this feature from free users? To me this just says you can't come up with enough new features to sell your product to paying customers.
Needless to say I'm installing and restoring a backup of the old version.
Edit: yep, I'm still rolled back.
Also the market won't open your page for me to lower my 5 stars, but when it does *shakes fist*
Edit: the page opened, & I lowered my rating.

Agreed. The last update remove some features and functionality and now there is no free version in the market. Guess I will restore an older version.

Made me buy the premium version, so...their strategy is working.

App was pulled due to a bug. Could be this one - I'm not sure

Ahh, was wondering why it wasn't showing anymore.
Had to re-add all my favorites, wasn't listing threads within saved sections.
Get well soon XDA app.

Thanks! The one I managed to update to is the described even though it had already been pulled!
**Hope the fix reinstates this functionality as standard.**

Can someone post the apk of the old xda app? I'm getting somewhat frustrated with the new behaviour...

It's a transparent version of the old one.
I cannot find the thread I got this from so I can't properly credit. Needless to say thx go to the dev.

Yeah thats not gonna fly here. just sittin on the old one and will till thats taken out. Haven't herd any reason why that would be needed at all.

Maybe a new design team has taken over, with a new team leader trying to make his mark in the world. I may have just made him up, but I hate her.

They should have left it alone, it worked fine. I hate the new app!!
AHA! found an old Titanum backup of the old app!!

Yeah, rolling back to my backup as well. C'mon xda.

I understand that the paid app had more features, but I don't like out that the free version is a downgraded version of the previous (also free) version.
I don't mind paying for android apps, I often do and I even donate voluntarily to xda members, but the problem here is that I don't like the principle of removing features to get people to buy the paid version...

XDA WP7 app needs an update

Well kinda think the app needs to be mangofied. Multitasking support, quick app resume, more stability and speed, theme options, plenty. Just thought I'd make this thread to gain traction so post ur support.
Seems like support is dead so would XDA allow some members to work on this app. I'm pretty sure plenty of mems would like to do this and it shows great community support.

I also agree that the xda wp7 app needs updating. The post edit feature doesn't work well on my samsuung focus.

+1 the app is a bit laggy at the moment, could definitely use an update.

The Android Premium version recieved an update not too long ago, so there's still hope. There are some things that should be improved:
- 16 Bit banding, which is said to be app related rather than OS related (though I doubt that).
- editting a post never works flawlessly, since you can't really scroll down to the bottom of the message box. Happens in larger quoted messages as well.
- scrolling should definitely be improved a lot. I've rarely seen apps with such horrible laggy scrolling.

There's only one version on the market as far as I can tell. Come people let our voices be heard.

it needs a free version too. Howardforums offers their app for free but not this site.

Yeah I paid for the app to support xda but the app is subpar. Probably the only app that lags for me and I have over 100 apps installed

It's very bad, needs a major fix.
Why not do something like touch.boards.ie it works so much better and faster than xda.

+1 for that XDA APP is a must!!

yes, this xda app is the worst performing app on my phone.
The inability to scroll to the bottom while creating a long post is quite aggravating.
It's embarrassing that a developer forum has such a crappy app.

Its just a skin over board express right? That all would need to be updated first.

XDA didn't develop the App, it's basically a stripped down version of Board Express, IIRC, just like the Android app is a Stripped Down Version of TapaTalk. You can pay to have them produce a customized version just for your forum.
And yes, that app is terrible. A ton of paid apps are basically unsupported these days, I guess since the Developers made a good chunk of cash and don't feel hte need to devote anymore of their free time to it.
Birdsong is another example. Literally unsupported right now.
Should start a Sticky Thread for apps that have fallen out of support to tell people to avoid them, IMO. Can't support your app, you don't deserve good word of mouth, IMO.

Yeah, WP7 badly needs a proper Tapatalk-style app. Board Express is awful and the developer has gone AWOL.
If I remember correctly, I did see something on the Board Express website about reskinning/rebranding costing $999 or so. I could be remembering it wrong, and the info is no longer on the website...but damn. If a few gullible fools did that, no wonder the guy has disappeared. Talk about making a fast buck.
I totally support the idea of a thread for abandoned apps...given that the quality of reviewers on the Marketplace is fairly low it's often hard to tell whether an app is any good, especially if the trial is heavily stripped down or doesn't even exist.

YEA ABANDONED THREAD WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. aLSO $999 THOSE BASTARDS.

[Suggestion] - Premium version with no ads

Is there any thought going on to have a premium membership without ads for xda.
I know majority wont agree but would love to browse the forum without ads and help the community with a premium version

thanks. But i am aware of the app. But how about when using my computer ?
Currently i prefer using the app all the time becoz i can have 50 posts per page , viewing pics is better and so on.
I wish some of these features were included in the web version, atleast as a premimum feature.

You can set 50 posts-per-page in the browser, it's in the User CP somewhere. I love it, all those 100+ page threads magically turns into 20-pagers.

Ads.. They are on everything.

(NEW) FACEBOOK INTERFACE - "Newsfeed"

Hello Note 2 users!
I bring great news.
Facebook is planning to offer a update that allows the user interface to become "clutter-free" on your Android device. Aka Newsfeed.
It's not officially open to the entire public yet, and you will have to sign up to join the waiting list.
Word has it that there are android users already being switched slowly into the new UI. I imagine that this new feature would look great on our phablet.
https://www.facebook.com/about/newsfeed
You will need to view the page on your desktop or in desktop mode. Scroll to the bottom to join!
Go get em!

I didn't install this, and it's been fantastic. It's everything I've always wanted in a Facebook app. Absolutely no hit in battery performance, too. Great work!!!

I've found that whenever FB does a large change, they lower privacy settings.
When they announce something new I look at it with a great deal of skepticism because I don't want to inadvertently start spamming my friends and family. I also don't want non-friends and family suddenly knowing my shopping habits, where and when I'm not at home, etc.

Just update the facebook app to its current release. I just compared my Facebook app to the website the op provided and It's the same feed style that the OneX is showing.

Next Launcher 3D free today only

So I stumbled across an awesome deal today but it only lasts today. This will get you next launcher 3D full version. Only catch is that if you want it on a few devices you have to do this for each device as it wont download as full. So use titanium etc if you want to keep before changing ROMs.
So to get it download the light version. Hit the menu (3dots on far right) go to preferences, select "about full version" then hit activate don't worry if its greyed out just hit it. Next just enter username - nextlauncher3d and code - appoftheday
All credit to slickdeals where I found the offer enjoy

Yep I grabbed this as soon as the appoftheday notification appeared by 3pm UK time it was off and had been replaced by a different app.
It's certainly a fun launcher
