XDA App Subscriptions

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

facebook notification center

hello
I am pretty new to xda (in terms of activeness) and this forum is absolutely awesosome and top class!!
but I miss facebook like notification center here when a user logs in , of course this is not a networking site but useful things are good to be adopted....
nyway this site is a great treat for me!!

You can subscribe to a thread, and you will get an email that someone posted in it.

In addition to what Jaszek said, XDA Mobile app has a notification feature, where you can configure it to send alerts and notifications to your status bar, when another member replies to a subscribed thread. I use it myself, and it's rather convenient.

didn't observe that till now!! will use it..
nway it would be even more convenient to have notifications like
some x replied u
some y quoted ur post
some z thanked for ur post x
instead of cluttering up ur email
just my opinion!

But it would clutter up XDA... There's not enough room even with my 2-monitor setup for that... 1080p screens wouldn't leave enough room!

get the app Tapatalk, and you can get almost instant notifications for your subscribed threads, and PMs.
the tapatalk chrome extension will only notify of PMs
and last i checked, so did the official XDA app for android.

Nevermind

Chat heads for FB Messenger, anyone get it to work?

So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one

When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

I had to uncheck 'Hide Statusbar' in Apex for it to work correctly.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.
I'm running 2.4.2 I've restarted the app and phone several times and reinstalled too

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

I do not have "chat heads" option under notifications where sound, vibe rate, etc. So there for I can't enable it because it is not there to enable.

I have the same problem as everyone else. I read somewhere that it has to do with the actual Facebook account.
Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.
My long press selection options

Jayv81 you are right. It is related with the account. I key my gf sign into her account on my phone and the chat head option showed up. WTH! as soon as she log out, the option is gone.

I found a modded app that works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232307
I tried this one and it works just make sure and un install all current Facebook apps. Also I'm not a fan of the Facebook home and I uninstalled it after testing the linked method. And it still works.
All credit goes to theos0o

This does it. Finally! Thx

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

I don't think you can unstack them.

Try Logging In To Facebook Application.It Worked For Me

If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works

New gmail layout..any way to multi select/delete inbox

I know this is a general question but it applies to any Android device but since im on a s4 ill ask here.
Since the new Gmail update with the new Colorful interface look,which I find useless.... is there a way to multi select all emails in the in box ,to delete instead of long pressing one by one?

Clicking on the colored letter / picture will select the email (as if it were a checkbox).
You can also disable the new look by unchecking 'Sender image' in settings.

:thumbup:Nice, that partly resolves the lengthy one by one delete process, but I sorta meant like a multi select/select all at once, then after just uncheck each one you want to keep.
But I guess only way is to check each email one by one .
Thanks though :thumbup:

Ah, yeah the app doesn't have a 'select all' feature. I suppose the app is designed to cater to users who keep more e-mail than delete.

You can long press on one email then select many.... It will highlight all and you can then delete several at a time.

Falcon pro back again

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

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'.
