Looks like XDA has been hacked. Check out the address the link is trying to forward to. Somebody's going phishing, it seems...

I got it too, even on tabs already opened to a thread on XDA. Very odd. I killed them quickly

*** Apparently already reported and known. In this case it was a mistake in the coding.

Getting the same thing in one of my computers here at work. The one where I´m writing now doesn´t show the warning, though.

I got it too on my HTC 4G LTE using stock browser.
I suspect it's a scam popup ad. Very clever.

It was a slight goof by the admins and has been resolved now.

Yup, it's sorted out now. This was a coding error. The real XDA won't show this, and there was no hack etc...

Grindr for Android url

Admin note: link removed in response to take-down notice from makers of this product. Please refrain from reposting. Thank you for your cooperation.
Very cool. Thanks!
Installed, went to set up profile, program force-closes every time I click "edit name." As much as I like Grindr, I think I'm going to uninstall this.
[before anyone asks, I did fix permissions and restart the phone.]
J~
is this what i think it is?
If it doesn't force close, it just says there's an error.
Ahaha, just what I needed. Not! Lol I should prob Google a app first before blindly downloading

Yes it is, there a problem sir? :]
I've been running this for a couple of weeks. I have the same bug in that I can't edit any of the free text to add a name, headline etc. Chat and pics seem to work ok though. I have a funny feeling that grindr are trying to censor information about this alpha as nothing seems to show up about it on twitter etc.
Does anyone know - or can anyone find out where the settings are stored for profile - are they on the phone or on the grindr server? If on the phone perhaps a config file could be hacked.
When it doesn't force close, I can't get it to even sign on to their network. I'll have to stick with scruff for now
I have a feeling settings are stored on their server, since they were working on letting you use the same profile on multiple devices.

You know, you could just NOT say anything. Much better for everyone
I'm not gay, but intolerance is just so ****ing wrong, PERIOD. You have a right to free speech in america, but maybe you should sit the next few rounds out.
To the mods that see this, I apologize. I had to.

Soon I got this message..is it from sprint IPHONE5?

lolz. It's spam. I do find it intriguing that they are still calling it the iPhone5 and not the 4s. Click on it...if you dare... Mwahahahaha!!!
EDIT: if you get text messages or phone calls from unknown numbers, don't answer or interact in any way. Google the phone number, it usually gives some more information. IF YOU ANSWER, REPLY OR INTERACT, IT MEANS YOUR PHONE NUMBER IS ATTACHED TO A REAL HUMAN BEING. Which means a LOT more spam.
Also check for any apps you recently downloaded that may be causing this.
Not too sure if a Addons or Airpush detector from the Market would help determine if one of your apps is in fact the culprit.
It's not an app. This is going around. I got one too.

Virus spam. Do not reply.
Yeah, a few of us got this over the weekend. It's either spamming a list or known cell numbers, spamming every number in the hopes of getting a mobile line, or it's due to malware that people are installing and which is then scanning their contact list.
End result it the same. Junk spam most likely trying to build a new botnet or phish data. Avoid at all costs and block if on google voice.

I downloaded the Addons Detector after I kept getting these notifications (although mine had a star icon on the notification bar). Found out that it was a theme in Go Launcher that was sending the garbage. Great detector, there's a bunch of options you can choose to filter what you want to look for (eg: advertising, analytics, licensing, push notifications, etc...)

Images on XDA

Hey,
Does anybody know what kind of images XDA can manage in particular gifs? Does there have to be a certain size or something? Just wanted to know because I have had some trouble with frozen gifs only on xda. Wondering If anybody knew. I have started to make my own and upload them to xda but it stays frozen.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
EDIT: As an update, your images cannot be too big or it will not play on xda.

I'm sorry. But please respect other members... it's wrong to call anyone douchebags just because you don't agree with them. And the number of posts is not really relevant here imo. So please respect other members.
Please give credit where credit is due..
If you can't even search how can I help you??
Thread closed because it seems the OP was trolling himself with another account (sammysung12). yes that's right. Both accounts are the same person

great site but

It's the worse site i use when on a phone. BY FAR.
Ad central, videos that launch by themselves. slow.
And that blank white page that keeps popping up.

here you go
We do not allow uploading of apks of apps that are closed beta for donators as it can be considered warez. Link removed.
EDIT: thread reopened, however if another person uploads the apk again, the thread will be closed for good.
I signed up for the beta...I'm very interested how well it works. Anyone here actually like it better than the standard keyboards that everyone is used to?

I'm using it now. It's takes a few texts etc to get used to it but once you do I find it a lot quicker. It's basically a condensed qwerty keyboard. Can't see me changing any time soon tbh. Hope this helps.

I was a backer, and still waiting for my beta access - which should come before people who are signing up to the website.
Thread closed. I can't believe nearly 10 of you asked for a link to the apk because someone offered it.
