As you might have noticed, the built in Forum search is down. We are currently working with our provider to fix a hardware issue on our Search server. Until that server is fixed, search is unfortunately unavailable. We do sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, however we are at the mercy of the server gods
Thanks for your understanding. We expect the search to return by Noon EDT of February 26th (today).
In the meantime, the Google search facility on the site still works.
You can search using this box:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

The same problem...now got it
Is this going to finally resolve the problem of the site's search being unavailable for several hours every night?

Yes please. That is quite annoying. Usually happens after 12am EST and I at first thought it was some feature that XDA incorporated for whatever reason.

That is the intention, but as we all know, as soon as external hosting companies get involved, things tend to go wrong

This is definitely not a feature. The reason is the for backing up the Forums.

Thats absolutely the intention, however things did not go as planned. Our server provider was not able to fix the problem.
We've brought the search functionality back online as we realize how important it is to everyone. However this does mean that search will be down from 12AM EST to 2AM EST. If everything was fixed by our provider, it would only be down from 12AM EST to 12:25AM EST. [daily] Unfortunately that is completely out of our control but we are working to fully address the situation.

25 minutes is considerably more reasonable than two hours a day. I'm glad you guys are fixing it. This was the only serious drawback to the site that I've ever really noticed.

In the last couple of days all my iPhone-toting friends have been showing off their Places app which logs their location to their Facebook profile, along with a map link. Apparently it never worked before, but now it does.
It's a total load of cr*p, but in the interests of showing them that Android can do anything the iPhone can (usually better), and also to shut them up, I'd like to know if there's some way I can have that functionality on my Desire. Just so I can do it the once and say "It's a waste of time which is why no-one on Android uses it"
Any ideas?
Android user can also use this feature if you go to the facebook mobile site with your browser. However I have no doubt this feature will pop up in the next facebook app update.

Just below the inbox button.
I think the places thing could be a security risk. Even if you don't put your location, a friend can tag you as being in a location. The only way out of this is through changing privacy settings to opt out.

This is odd. I don't haver this feature. Maybe it's country specific.
I'm using 4sq and it updates my location to both facebook and twitter.

Pretty sure its location specific. I was in the states a couple of weeks ago when they were trialling it there. Came back an it wasn't available in the UK until recently. Still in a testing phase I believe. Will no doubt have a bigger roll out with the next update to the Facebook app.
At present it's only available in the US and the UK, the rest of Europe will receive it soon.
As above it'll probably be in the next Facebook app update, whenever that comes along...
i just made a page for us who seem to get left till last by facebook .. its on facebook.com/pages/Equal-Applications
i suppose its kinda encouraging them to make our apps good and not just focus on ipods
hope people that feel the same jump on and add their views
So today I applied a couple of updates and I "think" that Beautiful Widgets was the last prior to seeing "Geolocation Problem: Location does not exist"

Google Maps. Open it and then you should be okay.

What the deuce!!!! Never have had to do that before.
Thanks for letting me know najaboy, would have never figured out the reason. Would have fixed it without knowing as I use maps all the time, just wouldn't have known what fixed it.
OK, spoke to soon. It didn't pop up but this time I got an explanation somewhat... Still don't know how to fix it:
I just got this message for the 1st time (traveling on business). I just closed this message, and it picked up the right location immediately. I have it on airplane mode during the day since I can't get signal where I am during the day, so the phone + GPS might have been in a confused state.
I got the message once yesterday, and now since 3am EST It keeps giving me this error message. Even with GPS on AND opening Google Maps.
PS - Also, I read on Androidforums something about checking the alternate geocoder, but that option is greyed out for me.
PPS - I changed from Accuweather to Google Weather and it seems to be working now.
I have the same issue .. switching to GOOGLE for weather seems to fix the issue but I dont think it is providing the correct location as accuweather did
any fix?
Interesting, never seen that...I kinda want it to happen just to be like, ha, I don't exist right now.
I have the same problem with something fix for me
First of all I'm sorry for my English as I'm from Thailand
I got the exactly same problem and I tried many way to fix it out and what is work for me is
I go to application, Manage Application, and clear the Data for Beautiful Widget
Then I remove the home widget and Add the beautiful home widgets again and set the weather service for Accuweather then thing just come up and the problem just fixed
This is work for me.
Cheers
This is a year old thread bud, safe to say this isn't a common problem.
I know its capable since the update before last but getting it to actually work is a pain.
It will set a calendar event but it doesnt seem to get any of my date and time information. What it will do is set a calendar even for the next half hour block and then put the time/date and subject in the description.
So "Create an event for Thursday at 6 PM for a Haircut" I will end up with an event in fifteen minutes titled "thursday at 6pm for a haircut."
This seems to be the only feature in Voice Actions/Google Now that I cant seem to get to work. Everything else understands what I want wonderfully.
I did some searches but all I get back are old threads about how it wasnt supported prior to the update and/or doing it through the text trick.
First say set event for Thursday, wait for day to open and
Then say the event or type it out.
This should come up

This works for me ->
"schedule a haircut for Thursday at 6pm"
Thank you! That actually worked.
Edit: Tried it a few times, works reliably.
No problem! Would appreciate it if you can press the "thanks" button for me.
Ah, was on "XDA Classic" theme and it doesn't show the thanks button. Updated and thanked.
******Update******
So I have my replacement phone and my old S6 Edge was messed up! I posted a comment in another thread about slowdown and terrible jank and stuff. This new one I just received is quick. There's some animation issues, but for the most part it's a night and day difference between my old one and this new one. Anyway along with that I used GPS Test app and compared the two. The new one didn't lose "Fix" for over 5 minutes. The old S6 Edge lost it 17 times in 5 minutes.
It appears to have been a hardware issue.
So my GPS is messed up! Anyone else having this issue?

This is not ideal. The S6 Edge is broken... at least mine is. Sometimes it will work flawlessly for miles, then have a hick up here and there. Other times it's a mess.

Awesome, I'll give it a try now, but before I do, did you restore the phone or set it up as a new phone?

i always just start off as a new phone
Factory Reset and Restore along with wiping cache partition. All failed. I'm still not getting GPS.
I called T-Mobile and they sent me a new GS6 Edge NDA. Should be here today, if this is also broken, I'm unfortunately gonna leave the S6. I heavily rely on GPS. It's more important to me than a camera. Yes I'm hinting at the M9 lol, but even then I'm not entirely sure I want that phone either.
Dammit Samsung/T-Mobile
We went through some basic troubleshooting and I am on "high accuracy mode" and location services enabled, etc.
Anyway here's more screenshots on my way to work, first pic shows it not working, it found me for a second when I got to "Pecos" then it found me completely using GPS, then lost me again. The last image is me walking to work. I have a 10 minute walk from where I park in Downtown Denver to work. The entire walk it was searching for GPS. That's the last image.
My co-worker with a S5 introduced me to an App called "GPS Test" and he was able to get 18 GPS sites, I literally have none. So something is definitely wrong with this one. I will go home and test it out again on the new phone and see if there's an improvement.
Have you found any solution to ur gps issue? If you have sorted up, please let us know. My GPS status app also could not find any satellites
Ever since the new forum came about, I've been getting daily emails from [email protected]. I've tried unsubscribe multiple times, unchecked every box in account settings, and made a ticket request there (seems that request went into a black hole) but I KEEP GETTING THIS SPAM MAIL. It goes straight to my spam box now but seriously, can these things get shut off?

The forums & update to Xenforo are definitely unrelated to the XDA Depot stuff. This is actually a totally separate company. I'll reach out to those here with the relationship to Stackcommerce to see if we can figure out what is going on.
