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.

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
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.
Can someone post Google voice and now to see if its run on ics

An article I read a couple days ago said that Now requires you to adb push a couple files over. After that it was supposedly mostly functional.

Post Google Voice?
I know it runs on ICS, I been running it on mine for the last couple of weeks now, installed it via the marketplace, didn't have to do anything besides install it.
It works pretty seamlessly too, text messages/voicemail-transcripts go right to my messaging app, and the voicemail configuration works too (missed calls going to google voice instead of the carriers). And can send/receive text messages thru it as well, and did try calling out of google voice twice.
The OP probably means the new Google voice search that's part of Now, I'm assuming. There's an apk on the SGSII thread that's somewhat functional but I got a parse error trying to install on my G2. Also the voice search doesn't work.

You mean the same "Voice Search" that came with my rom ? The one where you click the mic next to the search bar then speak and it does a search?
Its called Google ears or something check out the forums it should be somewhere on here or check xda TV they have the link on one of the videos
Edit: here's the link to the page good luck! Back up the flash the zip or just push files there's also apks

This is what you are looking for. This is not my work and I am using it on an HTC One S.

It is a bit buggy but everything works for the most part except voice. The development is moving fast though so hopefully we will have something fully functional soon.
here you can find it.

Falcon pro is a Twitter app which is very popular on android.
Today Verges posted an update regarding Falcon Pro and its future. In short, the app is now free and available as a direct download from http://getfalcon.pro. You'll need to side load the app if you decide to download it from the site. You can enable side loading of apps by launching your Settings app and going to Security, then checking the box next to "Unknown sources."
Simply making the app free and releasing it for all to download outside of the Play store doesn't solve the token issue, though. In order to get around the limit, you'll need to find a hidden custom log-in screen.
Start by tapping the falcon on the main page, then tap and shake your way to the custom log-in notification. If you're not patient enough to try and figure it out, or you just want to use the app without jumping through hoops, you can find instructions here.
The workaround is brilliant. By allowing users to create their own Twitter application keys and in the process their own tokens, anyone can log in to Falcon Pro and use the app to its full potential. Visit this page on Twitter's developer portal and create your own application. The app name you use will show on every tweet you send through the app, so make sure you pick something that shows off your personality. Before we go on to the next step, e-mail yourself the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.
If you want clear instructions feel free to ask

It works fine.
Make sure you have a callback and that twitter is allowed to login through your client. I read an article on androidpolice.

Falcon Pro is not working at my college connection (hotspot), though it works on my home wi-fi connection. More of a network problem. Anyway to resolve it?
For those who are experiencing 'crash when open' uninstall 'lucky patcher'.

Hi all
I don't have Google Now installed.
But when I want to use Google regular search, either from the search bar on top of homescreen or from the app drawer, Google Now keeps trying to install itself. Can I permanently remove Now? And just have regular search?
It is almost like Google Search is advertising Now, but I don't want it ask me to install Now every time, I just want to go straight to search.
Even hitting the microphone opens the Google Now install window, then I must hit the back button to go back to regular search.
This is for CM10.1
Thanks
Heeter
Uh Google search is Google now, that's the evolution of search, the only way I know to not get Google now is to search from Google Web page if you install Google search it is all your going to get.

Interesting and I've never noticed that before but I've never not had a reason to.
Looking at the app, Google Now is what Google has built their app around. You can go to your browser and do a search without getting this issue correct?

Perhaps try turning off the history?
It says it "may" disable functions such as Google Now, but I doubt it can be disabled. Search from webpage is my guess.
