Like many people I find it annoying that the forum users posting with tapatalk often do not turrn off the default spam, "Sent from my Nexus One using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk" which is added in to the body of the post. This forces us to read it over and over and over and over and over and over and over....... Here is an ongoing thread about this in N1 general ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669354
A couple of solutions mentioned in that thread and elsewhere are.... make it a policy much like searching before posting to turn off the spam in settings which by default is on. Add in a divider such as you see before signatures that separates it from the body of the post so that like signatures it is easy to ignore. Many forums have not enabled it because of the annoying spam and this forum could disable support. Others?
Agree, it's very annoying spam...
What about the default signature do you dislike the most? The TapaTalk part, or just its existence in general? We may be able to change the default signature or remove it for the next version. That said, he helps to let people know that XDA has an app. I can understand that it may get annoying.
Maybe if you change the font, so it won't be confused with the rest of the message. It's important to advertise the app.
Put another line-break in and maybe a "divider" (----) to make clear it's a sig.

It's ridiculous. Why does it need to be so long?
A) We don't need to see the device name. We can clearly see the forum they're posting in (and people usually put their device in their profile or signature anyway) so 99% of the time this information is completely useless.
B) The whole "mobile application powered by blah blah blah blah blah" is excessive. We know it's a mobile application. This entire site is about mobile devices!!!
Can you just shorten it? Something like this:

+1. The problem isn't the fact it adds text, but the fact that so much of the text is unneeded. IMO it should just be shortened and possibly in a variation of the font used in the post, like bold or in a different size.
Personally Im fine with just a divider such as the short one used for signatures. To me the bothersome part is that it appears in the body of the post and I end up reading it over and over. Signatures are easy to ignore even when they are fairly gratuitus because the are outside the body of the post.

Would tend to agree with you on this one. I like your shortened version "Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App". Think this would be more appropriate
Will work on this for the next version. Hopefully within a week or two.

It would be easier if I was the author of the app-- because I could make these changes much more quickly. I'm more like the guy who convinced the Tapatalk folks to make the app for the community.
Anyway, doing my best to get this done. Thanks.
Actually, I stumbled on this thread on accident; but I like the signature the way it is, which is the reason why I left it. Yes, it's a bit long, but it's a good way to get the word out about a fantastic android application. Is it difficult to believe that people who use this application honestly don't mind giving a bit of free advertisement for amazing products?
I don't see how the sig's length is a problem. Look at almost anyone's sig that lists off the phones they've used and it'll be easily 5-10x the length of the Tapatalk sig. Maybe tweaking it to be a bit shorter, like "Via the XDA Tapatalk app - Nexus One"; but still, honestly, compared to any NORMAL signature, it's nothing.
However, it WOULD be nice to be able to set what your Tapatalk signature is manually.

for me it's no problem that a good app is promoted and I wouldn't mind it at all, even if the current length would be preserved (or extended)
what I mind is the following: the location where it is printed into the message, there is only one blank line between post and tapatalk ad and I always read it because I think it's part of the post itself, but it's not
and that's the major diff compared to sigs (independent of their size and format): though signatures are also only separated by one blank line from the post they are always preceded by "__________________"
that way they are clearly distinguished from the post, you always know what's coming next and it's up to you to read or ignore it
so why not make the ad part of the signature (e.g. as a check-box in User CP, freely configurable text/format)? I would be much more happy then
but independent of how long the text is: as long as it's part of the post I don't really like it (and that's w/o saying anything about the app)
thx

^^^ This.
Put ___________________________________ above the signature and 95% of the complaints would disappear.
.
There was an update a few days ago, the changes in that build were, "v1.3.1:- Add Signature Customization". I'm not sure if this is related to some other issue or not. If it was supposed to addrress it then it was a failure. Paul and others are correct. Get this thing out of the body of the post and its all good.
On another forum I frequent people were asking for tapatalk and they refuse to do whatever it is that they have to do to provide support for it until tapatalk changes the spam. Good call IMO. I like this forum. The knowledge base is unmatched, the moderation is good. The brilliant little widget you added up in the top corner makes getting to a different section a breeze. That was the one complaint I had before, as more and more handsets were getting added it was starting to be a chore scrolling to the sections that interested me. Pretty much all in all a well hashed out forum. I guess considering the subject matter here it isnt a surprise that the number of tapatalk users is very high. Not sure if its something that anyone would really see coming but because the number is high the number of times you get spammed is high as well. I can only ask once again, please help us out.
On a personal level I dislike this kind of in your face spamming. No matter how good tapatalk is I will never use it until they change what they have to know is an irritant to many people. Not the kind of people I want to support.
The past few days I've been looking for a way to disable these messages on my end and I figured out a way!

I don't so much mind seeing other people having that in their signatures. I just dislike the fact that if I personally use the XDA app, it insists on adding an annoying advertisement to the bottom of my post *without my consent*. If there could be a way to turn this off, I would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: someone didn't do a little looking around to find the option to turn it off. xD

I use it for last minute edits for school. I'm usually adding stuff to my papers in class and then emailing them off.
I also use it for work when I get a report I have to edit and send off.
I will add that I mostly do these edits on my Xoom. Occasionally if I'm not near it ill use my phone but I do prefer the tab.

Just so people know, you will need to install the full version first. I installed the full version from the android market first. Afterwards, install the key version from amazon. Then open it up and it'll say the version is from the android market but it's unlocked via the amazon key. Works great.
Hi,
i downloaded a cool sms sound from a site someday...but since my nexus crashed i lost the sound
does anyone perhaps have it and willing to share it with me ?
it was an sms sound saying in a computer like voice "nexus"
Search tool? Google?
This thread is unnecessary.
I don't have the sound though if that helps.
So... go back to where you found it and DL it again? Or use one of the dozens of ringtone downloader apps?
I think I have that file too , I remember I downloaded it from nexus one forums.

Why does some user always pop up telling someone that the thread is unnecessary? A thread like this ends up turning other users on to a ringtone that you enjoy. What's the harm?? This is a site with tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of threads. It seems such a waste of time (and very annoying) to litter so many threads with that comment. Let's just enjoy this place. An extra thread won't hurt and it might help.
Look at how many threads popped up the moment Google began selling this phone in the play store. It's like 10 duplicate threads. And look, xda didn't explode!
FWIW I'm now using this ringtone. Thanks!!

i never use tapatalk,
i use the xda app FYI,

i find it pretty useful since i only have XDA as my active forum so why bother getting a 3rd-party app when you can download a version directly from XDA.

it's kinda rude, saying that XDA is doing it for bucks,
since they did this to provide users an independent forum app,
you justified the means without proper knowledge,
And to put it, Tapatalk is a paid app. And XDA offers free as well as premium app. So users who don't have Tapatalk has the option to get the free XDA app, if they have only registered on XDA for browsing the forums. Not many users are members of different forums.
i got both...but to be honest i only use XDA app now as this is the only forum i check. and if by me having the premium version helps support for the maintenance of the site, it is the least i can do for what i have learned from XDA over the last two years and the goodies that i have done to my phone to make it better
The reason? I find 1.50 € for learning english a very, very, fair price (i have both premium apps)

Reread your thread title and OP. Nowhere does it state that it's directed to people who use multiple forums, and you probably would have received different replies completely if you had made that clear. All you did was make the XDA app seem useless, which is wrong, because for people who only use XDA there's no point paying for tapatalk.

Personally, I don't see any difference between the two. They are identical to me, except that Tap can have multiple forums in it, obviously.
But I am having a problem with both and can't use any of the four forum apps I have purchased:
XDA Premium (phone)
XDA HD (tablet)
TapaTalk HD
TapaTalk 2
Don't get me wrong, I am more than happy to support the developers! I'm not bragging, but I have purchased about 300 apps in the last year and most of them worked fine without paying for them. I just wanted to make clear that this is not about complaining because of spending the money. I just sincerely want to be able to use them and I can't use any of the four.
What I mean by that, is that after scouring XDA and Google, I cannot find any help on how to view messages that I have received email notifications for, like when someone responds directly to one of your posts, or even when they post in a thread/forum you are Subscribed to.
I know that I can go into the XDA/TapaTalk (2) apps and go to:
LATEST >> PARTICIPATED
... But that doesn't take me to the posts that I have been notified about, like if I tap the link in the email and it takes me right to the message, ya know?
So I end up tapping the link and trying to view the messages in the browser on my phone, but since XDA does not have a mobile version of their web site, I end up double-tapping it to try to blow it up and then moving it all around the screen, back and forth, to try to read the message.
And of course, posting that way is Hell! It is very difficult to get it to go back up in the message and you can't even see a whole sentence, because it's blown up and the regular display is microscopic!
Does anyonne know how it is done? I love the concept of these apps, but I cannot believe that they would have left that sort of feature out, given that people would constantly be responding to posts they are notified about, right?
So I figure that I must be missing something. But I have looked at these apps for almost a year now (and recently purchased the new TapaTalk 2, hoping it had stuff the original doesn't) and I just can't find how to do this.
Does anyone know how this is done? Please?
Again, going to LATEST >> PARTICIPATED does not list/take me to the messages I am being notified about. The threads are in the list somewhere, I'm sure, but I'm hoping to do it like I do when I tap on the link in an email message. It would be really cool if you tapped on one and it opened Tap right to that specific message that you're being notified about!
I may have missed this answer somewhere in these forums, but I swear, I did scour them as best I could and I just cannot find this specific help! Nor did I find any help from the Tap folks, except how a forum owner could add their forum and a Google search produced the same result.
I apologize for the long message. I just wanted to make sure that I was absolutely clear, so that folks did not just guide me to "LATEST >> PARTICIPATED".
Thanks!!!

It would be really cool if you tapped on one and it opened Tap right to that specific message that you're being notified about!
I may have missed this answer somewhere in these forums, but I swear, I did scour them as best I could and I just cannot find this specific help! Nor did I find any help from the Tap folks, except how a forum owner could add their forum and a Google search produced the same result.
I apologize for the long message. I just wanted to make sure that I was absolutely clear, so that folks did not just guide me to "LATEST >> PARTICIPATED".
Thanks!!!

Big post.
So basically what you want is when you click on a link on any other app (mail for eg. since its giving you notifications). You need to clear all the defaults you have set around with your browsers. (do it from settings»applications»manage»here).
After that whenever you click on a link, it will show up a popup to chose the app to procede for the link. If the link is from xda use tapatalk (it'll take you to the post right away), if from other site, use your preffered browser. Again do not set anything as default as tapatalk cannot open other sites and you will need to clear the defaults again.

Dear Bruce Wayne,
Okay, I did what you said and it did not take me to the exact message. But it did take me to the same page, which makes it just a matter of scrolling down a few swipes up worth to scroll down to the message, which is certainly plenty good enough!
Plus, now I understand why this app's default posts per page is set to 10.
Thanks a bunch for your help, Bruce! I mean that! I can now, finally, use TapaTalk after a year of owning it! And that's because you took a few minutes out of your time to answer my question simply and plainly, without first assuming a certain level of knowledge on my part and I really appreciate that!
And I'm sincerely not trying to patronize you. As I said, I do mean that. It can be very difficult to get help, when so many people see a question as being "stupid" and you can't find anything on the web, ya know?
There was one thing I noticed though in the TapaTalk 2 app, which was that there was no option to "Quote" when responding (I wanted to quote a couple of sentences of you response when I replied).
Is there a trick to making it show that option that you know of?
If there isn't one, how would you know if it's responding to the message you're looking at on the screen?
Sorry to bother you again, Bruce! Last time, I promise!

That's for the XDA app. But that and TapaTalk are so close, that I yea, it just might help at that!
I'll read it and thanks for passing it on. I appreciate it!
How about the possibility of changing theme to the old one on the XDA portal? I'd like to change it to the old theme and layout, but there is no way to do that. I'd be fine with the new look if there would be a dark skin, but we're forced to use the default white theme. It would be nice if we could change that.
Another thing I don't like is that when u switch to the new xda forum look the quick links tab is gone, so there's no way to QUICKLY view all subscribed threads like it was possible before. That's pretty annoying...
I also found out that on the latest up-to-date chrome you can't press multi-quote. Well, you can, but it doesn't get selected like if you wouldn't press it. Thanks button works fine though. I'm talking about the new design.
Regarding the Chrome / multi-quote issue, it works fine for me using the latest Chrome.

If that's not planned, I might actually make a userstyle for it.

You can view subscribed, unread threads by clicking on "Settings" (which I think should be renamed to something better). If you want all subscriptions (even unread ones), then you're correct.

I'd love to see your userstyle. Especially for the old design as the lack of userstyle for the new xda portal is something that made me switch from your forum black version to the XDA 2015 theme.
Well, yeah, before you could view both read and unread subscribed threads, now you can't.
Does the portal not have a way to submit news tips now ?
I have an issue that I think needs to become known by all who support independent developers on Google Play.
Basically, Google's way to dealing with the EU VAT changes mean my income is dropping about 20%. (It isn't a great income to start with, despite my long hours of work.)
20% ! This sucks !
I explain in further detail in a post on General section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/dammit-google-dammit-eu-vat-policies-t3003275
