Slow XDA

Has anybody else noticed how slow the site has been the past 24 Hours? I originally thought it was my ISP doing something, but going to work today the site was still painfully slow! They are on a totally different ISP!
Anybody??

Yep, same here.

Here too. And sometimes i got just a message with 502 bad gateway.

XDA is slow aswell here. I've had the same thing with other forums aswell. I think it happens because we live in a foreign country... idk.
Anyway, it really prevents me from posting frequently...

Same here
Almost 4 min to load any page
Also sometimes bad gateway error 502
EDIT: Now ok again

Sllllllllllllloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww......!
Very slow here, too.
Took over a minute to load the reply to thread page.

yep!
And sometimes my replys are duplicated, i have saw many duplicated posts this day!
Its on maintenance? i couldnt go to the home page

same thing here
yea i got the same messages with the bad gateway as well as super slow load times. im in the states so it cant be that u guys r over sea's. maybe its the servers. i wonder if any mods know

I´m sure they are aware, Mods and Admin are always keeping an eye here
By the way now it´s working ok, and let´s remember that if something around 5000 users or more are online at the same time, server starts to go slow.

YEP!
everything is fine now... we have XDA devs for more to go!!

I really hope someone is able to fix this.
extreme slowness
bad gateways errors
duplicate posts
Taking a forced coffee break after each page-refresh ain't that good for me

Yep, same here. Very slow!

Yes, its awesomely slow.
Hope its beeing worked on 'cause its unusable at times.

Same problems here...

Russia, Moscow.
XDA are ve-e-ery slow! Already few days. Many times I see "502 Bad gateway", more than few minutes required for loading page and posting answer and many times posted answers are duplicated!

does xda need some new servers? what is xda running on?

Still Slow
Hi today is the third day in a row that xda is very slow and unresponsive. i'm really not used tho that kind of behavior from this site.
I really hope that the admins can do something about the speedproblems.

Yes, actually around 5500 users online and it begins to slow down. Yesterday was a record breaker with 6270 users online.
Mods were aware, although Mods can't do much about the hardware system. I checked with Admin and indeed they were also aware of the situation. I know a short while back they were working on load balancing across the servers.

Server load too great
Yes thinking about it, every page takes ages to load and has for a few days. Servers have too much to cope with. Is there going to be any upgrade of servers ? The BIG positive is how much in demand this site is. Top work !

xda down?

why was xda down?

i am curious as well, what happened?

This is what I have gathered from twitter and other forums...
The sever(s) were bring updated/maintenance, estimated time was around 15 mins hence why we weren't informed. Clearly something went wrong in the procedure.

I was freaking out man. I was at work for a 9 hour shift. I kill a lot of time on XDA. I thought something went down and it got shut down or something lol.

It went off early this morning (uk) i too have been freaking all day.
Welcome back *hug*

Me too, even tho its my 3 day using it lol

I freaked out with the rest of ya. I kept checking throughout the day, and finally I did some searching and found out about the maintenance. Scary stuff man, scary stuff

they were all high on skunk weed and a fight broke out over the last cookie. maintenance was just a cover story....

Their was maintenance on SteadFast networks (XDA's Host), router upgrades. the outage went longer than expected. You can read about the issue here:

Psh, thats nothing. I was on a 5 hour car trip from Idaho today with my wife. Things would have been fine, but no xda made me cranky which made both of us cranky.... no fun!
glad the crack is back!

I was going through withdrawal without my daily dose of phone hacking crack

And surely enough my phone crashed completely during xda's downtime so I could not rely on users' input and had to figure all out myself
Ah well, reflashed my phone and wasted a few hours, but I was hoping to find a solution on xda and couldn't figure out why I couldn't connect...

Microsoft sabotaged their upgrade LOL
// if you'd come to IRC, you'd have known the status and reason, we found the reason soon. And so many jokes fell lol.

I felt a combination of being violated and deprived all at the instance i realized my internet connection was'snt to blame. .
XDA & New Members FTW.

We're working out a few kinks with the database setup and vBulletin's handling of master/slave database servers. This shouldn't happen to often, if it does, do let us know.

I was having every other link shoot me to the over capacity page about 3am EST. Thought for a minute I clicked on my Twitter bookmark lol. Excited to see the new plans in store for the site!

Damn, site seems really overloaded last days. But at least before it just worked slow. Now it won't even open (service unavaible).
I hope admins sort that issue out

Seems like the entire world is gettin' their xda freak on before the weekend.
I have been faced with the message. No biggie though. As long as I don't loose another day of completely magical posts.
good day.

Please rest assured that we are working to address these issues. We are aware of the overcapacity issues; it has happened to roughly 1000 user requests today.

Can you be more specific about "really"? Are you getting it once a day, ten times a day, etc?

[Q] Is ANYBODY having issues getting into Revolutionary.io ???

yes it is back up but you got to expect the hit especially with success stories about how everyone is rooted. You know people sit back and wait for other guinea pigs to try it out first....lol

Yeah, I cannot access the site right now either. I was able to root my EVO, but now i'm trying to root my wifes and I can't without the beta key.

Keep trying occasionally, or try later at night when there is less traffic , don't forget to consider time zones.

Galaxy Nexus - flawed by bad NAND!!! \data partition corruption issue

Issue: \data partititon become corrupt for no obvious reason.
Manifests itself through: Freezes followed eventually by (endless) reboots
When: Randomly when you install new apps (may be every day as it can happen only every other week/month), or setting up apps (like Twitter, mail, etc)
Temporary solution: Re-flash Samsung FW but lose ALL YOUR DATA. Attention: CWM restore will not fix the problem!
---- Here goes a link to the fabulous mskip's tutorial, you will find here everything you need to get it back up temporarily
I experienced this in 401, 402, 403 and 404, some were expecting better data integrity in 404... I confirm this is not the case
I would not go as far as saying that this is 100% the reason, but it looks like the NAND quality is craaaaaap! There is no external SD card, Android should be able to do a perfect job now at handling info and preserving quality of data.
I will contact Samsung and ask for a refund (if at all possible)... Disgusting thing to put such a piece of s''t on the market without proper testing and call it "flagship/pure Google experience". This is not an isolated issue, it happens to at least half of the people around and the others may have not seen it yet (it all depends on how often you manipulate data on the phone)...
Any advice, I am inetersted, have tried pretty much everything so far and did not solve the problem...

Overreacting? Glad you had a better sample, I bet you would "overreact" as well if you spent 500£ on a piece of junk losing all you data on a daily basis.
But hey, this is not happening to you, right ?
Community means lots of people, some are here to help, others just looking for a social life while trolling on this forum.
Sorry mate, I am trying to get through to the first category...

Umm, sounds like you need a replacement phone.

Your first post came across as a hysterical rant - this is the first I've heard of the problem so it's not affecting many phones, and ultimately Samsung are going to have the occasional dodgy NAND chip. Sounds like you got one.
If you'd had several phones and they'd all exhibited this problem you'd be right to be peeved, but it simply sounds like you've been unlucky and are pissed off about it. Have you even discussed it with Samsung's tech support or taken it back to the shop you bought it from?
And accusing an XDA recognised developer of trolling is not a great start to your time here.

I've not heard of other people having this problem with the Gnex? Who are these other people having this same problem? Maybe speak with them and see if a replacement phone might solve the problem. I really hope you can get this fixed and not give up on such a great platform.

Respect for your dev background (haven't used any of your ROMs yet), in all fairness I'm far less impressed with your communication skills... I must agree though, my message may have come across as too abrupt and you're right again, I am going to sort it out with Samsung...
Did not mean to get people horrified, rather to blow the whistle on a worrying and annoying bug and smth people may consider if they come across or consider a purchase.
For having worked in the mobile comm semiconductors space for years, I know just what sets apart a serious company from a me-too profile. Surprised to see Samsung having this king of issues. Normally they are ironed out easily though SW regression tests and HW stress processes (at least at serious OEMs).
I will let one of the moderators judge if my crime is so serious, your ego will survive, I'm sure I will come back when/if issue solved (or in good progress).

yeah, mine is fine. If it was a widespread problem I would back your corner, but I seems rather isolated. Rather then cause mass hysteria I would say you need to return your handset

This happened to mine. But only once.
Quite frustrating, as my phone is my alarm clock and it was bootlooping when I needed to go to sleep!
However, a reflash of the 4.0.2 stock images sorted it out, and no problems since. I'm pretty sure I caused it by pulling out the battery at some sensitive point in a reboot or something.
If this happens to you frequently, then you need to exchange your phone.
Also, I think this could be a pretty good resource as opposed to a rant if you put your mind to it. I'm not a developer, but I'm also not a total n00b, and it took me a little while to figure out how to fix the problem, when I had it. I'm sure there are people out there who would appreciate a guide.

In this thread, op is going through that time of the month, when was his own modification back fires in his face, his explosive emotions reek havoc on an online forum.
If you want to see a device with bad nand memory, see the HTC Desire S forum .
Also the reboots and freezes I used to experience on my device were application related. Device hasn't frozen, nor rebooted in about *looks at up time* .. 27 days .

... I was actually referring to a poll in another thread (link in this thread) concluding that half of the people who answered have experienced freezes and reboots... it may be biased somewhat by the fact that people who experienced the issue are more likely to vote than those who didn't... maybe an overstatement from me.

Get the odd reboot (Chrome seems to provoke, strangely) but zero data corruption in 3+ months of heavy use. (4.0.3 AOKP)
Sorry, no endemic fault that I can see here (from reading these forums) and if I were you I'd be looking for a warranty replacement. Refund will depend on your location and supplier and duration of ownership.

First I heard about this too. I've flashed tons of roms and mods and constantly installing uninstalling apps.
The GNex has been anything but non-stable. I think I've had to pull the battery once or twice since ownership. Never heard anyone complain about randomly losing all their data... especially not daily. Perhaps on a bad flash in CWM.
Maybe you should look into a super wipe that completely erases everything, deletes the partition tables and recreates everything from scratch. Maybe it'll help but it honestly sounds defective.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Thanks Player911... Interesting idea, was thinking as well to do a total wipe and sort of a sector-by-sector reformat, but could not find a way of doing it. Is there any tool that would allow me to do it? Maybe this will isolate bad sectors...

Will check shortly with Samsung folks, thanks mate! (what slows me down is the fact that I'm currently travelling to the US and the guarantee is only European and it's Sunday= hotline is closed in Europe).

Uhh, I don't believe my reboots are due to this. Just saying. That whole thread does not point to your theory as the issue. I'm gonna go ahead and call this myth busted and suggest you go get a replacement because this is just another extremist "my phone is busted but I refuse to get a new one" thread.
