I had an issue with favorites and reinstalling the app fixed it.
Have you tried that?

Favorites are listed in both the premium and free version of the XDA App, but no forum posts, listings, or content when a favorite is selected. Please fix.

Same issues, no posts and wouldn't load unless uninstalled through settings-applications. Then reinstalled and it works, pain to have to readd favorites though.

The new update to the premium app is terrible. It's so bad I reverted to a copy of the free app even though I paid for (and prefer) the premium one. It's not right that they just leave it like that.

What's so bad about it?

The only problem I really have with the update is that now, pictures aren't displayed full-screen. It was annoying before when a resized picture would be really blurry, but now I can't see any pictures, and that's much more irritating. They're way too small now. It's just a thumbnail, basically, and it makes screenshot threads completely infuriating.
Oh, another thing, with the notifications for subscribed threads, it will only notify me after the first check, and not on subsequent checks, if it's making subsequent checks. For instance, say I get a notification that 2 subscribed threads are updated. The notification will say that there are 2 subscribed threads. Now, say it's 30 minutes later (or more; I just used 30 since that's how often I set the app to check) and there are 2 more subscribed threads. Instead of updating the notification to 4 updated threads, it still says 2 even though I never cleared it the first time. For a real-world example, I went to bed yesterday and woke up with a notification for 2 updated threads, but when I opened the app, there were 6 or 7 updated threads. These were all updated within a period of 12 hours, and my XDA app is set to check every 30 minutes. For some reason, after the initial check where it found the updates, it never checked again, or if it did check, it didn't update the notification.
I hope this is a clear enough description. It sounds kind of confusing to me, but I can't think of a better way to explain it.

I was getting nothing but empty screens in every section, not just the favorites section. It took three uninstall/reinstall cycles to get it functioning again. It still doesn't show favorites but I can live with that (for awhile) but the whole empty app thing was disaapointing

Also had problems with blank screens in favorites and couldn't add a xda premium app shortcut to my home screen anymore.
After a long press on the home screen and selecting it from the shortcut list I got a white screen.
After uninstalling and re-installing it still won't generate a shortcut, but launch the app instead when going through the steps above.
The only way to add it as a shortcut was to long press it from the app drawer.

Delete reinstall works great.

+1 on the favorites issue after update. I delete and readd them then old ones sometimes reappear, requiring another removal, but without fail the newly added favorites will always show empty subforums at some point.
Keep having to revert to an old backup of XDA app if I "update all" from the market.

Same issue here with the favourite forums being empty. Can't even delete them. Well, you can, but they come back when you refresh. I deleted them and re-added them and it worked, but after a restart I was back to blank favourite forums again.
PLEASE, if the devs see this, let us know what's gonna happen.
Thanks

Delete Stock Bookmarks

Hey guys I am having trouble deleting the stock bookmarks off of the stock browser. I have tried long pressing the bookmarks and hitting delete on the context menu and i get a toast message that says: "This bookmark cannot be deleted", thanks in advance guys.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

download a different browser and delete them through that browsre and you should be good

I figured it out. I downloaded Bookmark SB and allowed me to remove the stock bookmarks. Thank you for the help though.

You can also use kies air to delete the stock bookmarks.

I used Slinky1914's method and downloaded "Bookmark Sort & Backup" from the Play store (got the free version). Worked great and you can obviously reorder your bookmarks. Got rid of the stock AT&T Bookmarks (which remained after I switched to ClearROM).
I saw another post where someone said they used Kies to delete the stock bookmarks, I looked and looked but could not find anything in Kies that would let me do anything but backup and restore network setting (which includes, among other things, bookmarks).
Maybe someone who has used the Kies method could explain a little how they did it, otherwise Bookmark Sort & Backup is a quick and easy fix also.

Shush! Is a an app that silences your phone for a certain amount of time. Say if you're going to class for an hour then you can silence it for an hour. If your going to watch a movie you can silence it for two hours. Really helpful for people that can forget to turn their ringer back on.

the only thing I use ROM manager for is to backup a ROM. It'll reboot into recovery, backup the ROM, then revolts when its done. You can install .zips from it. It does have ROMs available to download but its scarce. XDA site is much better. As far as I know rom manager does not install apps. I use titanium backup to back up my apparently plus the data within them so when I flash I don't have to download everything again

I don't get why people use the stock browser
Dolphin HD is by FAR the best browser for android.

I thought the same thing, you should try Maxthon browser though. It's faster and you can install themes on it. My go to now.

Two frozen Google apps return

Two Google apps -- Play Books and Play Movies & TV -- keeping returning from the land of the frozen. I go back into TB Pro and refreeze, and within a couple of days at most they are back. All the other Google apps I've frozen remain so. Is there something else on the list I also need to freeze?

When I disable them in app manager they come back after a reboot as well. I think its tied to the play store or something that keeps activating them.

I checked on Play and on app manager for auto update option and don't see one. Odd that only these two are persistent despite freezing. I have the feeling there's another item on TB that needs freezing as well to fix this.

I got sick of this and since I do not want nor need them, I just deleted them

Ah, the more brutal approach. If that worked, and you have no regrets or issues as a result, that seems my only course of action as well.

Why you bother to freeze them or delete? It's part of former Google Market. Do.'t see benefit from deleting it. Can you share your thoughts?

Basically, I have four pages of icons under apps, and many of them are for services I have no interest in and will never use. I'm not trying to save space...I think there's 11 GB free, but I find the clutter off-putting.
Not sure I understand the part about Google Market. Play is just the same thing renamed, isn't it? Plus new look and feel.
Anyway, just de-cluttering the UI.

Yup it comes back now.. Use menu - > hide applications or you can stick them all in one folder and hide just that folder

Clipboard

Is there anyway to clear the clipboard on the Galaxy S 3? I am no longer able to copy and paste and everytime I try to on the stock internet browser or Google Chrome it crashes. I read online the crash is due to the clipboard being full but I'm unable to find out exactly how to clear it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

If you hold the mic button down on the stock Samsung keyboard a pop-up will come up with choices, one of those choices is your past saved clipboard. You can delete them by holding down on each one and hit delete.
Good Luck

I ended up rooting my phone and deleting the clipboard through root explorer. That seemed like that was the only way to do it rather then wiping my phone.

I have not rooted mine yet and I also use Swiftkey 3. I cleared my clipboard by holding down the mic on the stock Samsung keyboard and several possibilities popped up and one was the clipboard and clipboard history. I simply long pressed on each clipboard I wanted to delete and hit delete. It worked just as I described. Maybe you didn't click the proper pop up. Could you see the past clipboards you had used? I had about 5 I think that I deleted.
Good Luck,
Vinny

Nope I couldn't see the past ones, but I did follow it step by step like he said. I did find out that that the GS3 has a bug when it comes to the clipboard and a ton of people could not delete it unless the rooted and did it through root explorer. Im happy now, the clipboard is clear, im rooted and I can always use root explorer to fix the problem if it happens again.
