[Q] m.xda-developers.com (mobile site) ?? - About xda-developers.com

How come one of the largest phone-related sites for android users and more, doesn't have their own Mobile site?
It's no fun viewing xda-developers.com on the phone atm. It gets to big and have to zoom all the time..
And I know about the XDA app. But you only get 'boring' text there..
No images/videos etc.
I know alot of people would appreciate a more simple site to view the news on our phones...
So, how come?
Can it be fixed?
Im not talking about the forum now, only news page- and other pages.

Yes! that'd be great!

We have XDA app and Taptalk for the Forum.
And there are Wordpress readers.
I do want a mobile version layout for the portal though.

If you are a member on XDA, it's likely that you have android or WP7 - they both have apps which make the XDA layout suitable for mobile browsing.

Even the iPhone users have tapatalk.
Herp derp Captivate XDA app.

Forum Runner is also compatible with xda

Maybe you guys should read again?
Im not talking about the forum, I'm using the xda app..
Im talking about the Portal/News site.. And as i said, I know you can read the news in xda-app but you only get boring text.

We're looking into doing a mobile-formatted Portal. The forums with a mobile view isn't as user-friendly as the XDA Apps, so we're not likely to do that soon.

Yeah the mobile forum app. See there's a problem with that. Its search function can't find anything! Doesn't work. Completely broken. Useless.
Try searching for "launcher 7" I got not one relevant result and I know there's plenty of threads with that in title. No option for in post or title only. No choosing which sub forums. Quotes don't work. Its tapatalk based right? It looks and feels like it. I never get searches to work in that app either. That needs fixing. I can't believe no one for all the Google it, and use the search, responses has noticed SEARCH DOESN'T WORK.

Maybe connecting with xda-developer app can be a good idea too.
but without considering about that, it would be a great idea to make a mobile web, too!

mobile-formated portal.

Yes please! I've really come to enjoy the portal over the last few years and the information it provides to the extent that is is one of my bookmarked news sites. However, I've gone to 100% mobile for getting news and as a result, I mostly ignore the portal these days.
I may be wrong, but isn't there a simple plugin for generating a generic mobile view with image thumbnails/headers on top level and image and post text w/ comments on second click? It seems like most of the CMs I've looked at have something like that available... But I don't actually recall what is being used here...
There is also the downside of some plugins in that they do not give you any control over how a user selects which site version. The host server just looks at a user agent etc. and forces mobile content at them, even if they are using a tablet or larger screen. That never goes over very well...

YES ,this is good .
Then, I want to known if this site can be sufring by the mobile phone?

bump! lots of times the tapatalk app fails.. and the full view from mobile is a PITA

can keep track of every thing at any place at any time....

They should update the premium app for ics roms,

Now I know this can't be news....

Yes, that would be great.
I don't like to install apps in order to visit sites in mobile view.

the portal news can be read and viewed with GOOGLE READER and the xda RSS feed.

Who cares about the portal? I can watch the "news" sometime later when I get on a pc. What we need is the forums

That's why there are mobile forum apps. XDA app and Forum Runner.
I think we have too many customised scripts etc that would make the mobile version difficult to implement.

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.

malware warning from chrome coming to xda

Content from security.rltk.us, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.
Is what I'm getting. anyone else?
I also got this. Xda needs to do something. I hope all the users have good paid antivirus. Not the the free or hacked kind.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I also got this message, but not on every page. I think it's because of some special ads on the side / top which might be untrustworthy?
Yar, getting it too.
i to got it but webroot showed nothing in the scan, weird?
I confirmed its from a new ad that Xda is running on some of their pages, If you enable adblock on xda (i hate doing that becasue i support this site) the warning goes away.
Granted xda needs to do something.

how do i do that?
The malware is just probably some add sites on which they embed php codes inside the image files for tracking page views. Pretty harmless to me

If you are a chrome user.. you need to add an adblock extension from chrome store..
Firefox means addon of adblocker ... well till this issue gets resolved.. later you can remove it..

can we make a better xda app?!

the current app is buggy, seldom loads, looks outdated, crashes, still talks about xda like a client website of a host app, doesn't support q&a format threads, doesn't support the news, wiki, doesn't format inlaid pictures correctly, etc... how is acceptable when we are building apps the likes of greenify and xposed?

XDA app login issue

Greetings all,
after a long hiatus away... I'm back lurking around XDA ;-P
For a long while I was accessing XDA via Tapatalk app on android.
One day it stopped working, so I stopped coming... I hate using laptop for getting my Forum fix (although, this is how thread is being created).
Anyhow, I've just purchased a sparkly new mobile phone i.e. Asus Rog Phone 3.
So, I'd thought I'd DL the XDA app and get back in the mix.
Issue is when I try and login via app, Chrome and Firefox pop up on bottom of screen!?
I can however browse the forum via app as a guest.
I'm assuming there is an easy fix for this issue, I just cant seem to find it.
Help appreciated and TIA.

The app uses a browser to authorize the login.
There were some problems with Firefox, not sure status of that.

XDA-app and login problem with the LineageOS browser

Installing the XDA app was no problem at all, but ..... the log-in seemed in first instance impossible.
Also no problem to visit the XDA website and no problem to vieuw in the app everything as a Guest.

What I learned: the app needs a browser to "Authorize" ....
Anyway my browser did not the trick AND everything was difficult to understand if you don't see anything
of the authorization process.
The browser even did not show any other screen than the log-in screen so there was no clue how to go further.
After this all ... I decided that possibly a second browser might be helpful. (After reading the mentioned links)
My choise became Firefox ..... (rooted device) which i made my default browser.... a simple solution wich worked immediately.
The result is a nice very good smooth functioning app. Thank you.
Made this thread, just to let you know this.
Hoping it might help someone the moment
the app is a wish, which it should be.
