Xda mobile app ads

I know that the new xda update includes adds and other stuff, there's fine.
I was wondering, if possible can xda make a paid app without ads? I would defiantly buy it. It would be nice and xda be making money too.
Please post here if you would like that and maybe we could get one.

hey dude every time i try to log on to the APP it tells me " need administrators permission to login...? " what do i have to do?

We added an ad so that we can continue to provide the app free. Surprisingly, we have gotten a lot of messages from people willing to pay to remove the ad. So, we are considering this, perhaps with a premium version that also adds new features.
Thanks for your input!

We're working on an update that should fix some of the issues with 1.3.1. In the mean time, try reinstalling, or rebooting your device. It works fine on my Nexus One with 2.2.1.

I agree with the no ad concept for a fee.
We are constantly bombarded with ads daily from every other medium so when I see ads, I uninstall.
In this case, XDA remains on my device because this is the best forum on the net, period.

it still asked me to ask taptalk admin to let me etc

I've been searching for a thread to report or compare bugs in the app. Is there one?
good day.

Didn't know ads bother people so much. Games I know, but these ads are not bothersome at all.
Hypothethical question for the devs which would make you more money someone with who buys a $2 app or someone using an ad supported app. Just wondering

I would definitely buy it. The last thing I want to worry about is hitting the next page button and getting a 9.99 jamster charge on my bill because the ad captured my mobile number because of the app permissions or something like that. Thanks for the great app though

My carrier disabled third party billing to my account, but I think XDA uses a reputable source for the ads in the app (likely admob or google), who wouldn't allow someone to billl you $10 through merely clicking an ad.
But I'm sure Svetius can clarify which service generates the ads, and while it pays to be cautious, I reckon you're unlikely to get something like that as an app advert (though I am sure someone will try it some day...)

Very helpfull.."found it"...
I can't find the thread - could someone give me a link?
I have no access to a PC at the moment and it's very hard to search with the xda-app through all (sub-) forums by hand and also the results in the search-feature for "xda app" gives me, let me say, a "few" hits more back...
BackToTopic:
+1 - Would also pay for no ads!

[Q] Any new/used phones, etc., for sale on xda?...

Hello everyone... Any new/used phones, etc., for sale on xda?... I have looked all over for a link for devices for sale, new/used, I know there must be some phones, etc., for sale on the xda site somewhere, I think it is probably staring me in the face and I just keep missing it... turning into a phone addict like everyone else here, now I want to add more toys to my collection, or at least just see what is out there... and it seems that I should maybe start at xda, where everyone has multiple phones... any help is and will be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!...

It's interesting, as I have Polaris Office installed on my Optimus 3D, and it works really well. It came as part of the Promethius ROM.

im surprised google allows such app to be uploaded to the play store..
what happened to their qc..
and iinm polaris office is a stock rom app

I think it asks for your google to access your google drive.

The provided URL is not working but apparently it seems to be Polaris Office.
Well, it came built in with my One X.

Pretty lame that they are making fake apps...

Google does not 'allow' publishing to Play Store. They only scan the app for malicious code and publish. It's up to the users to decide if they want to give the app access to the features is requires or not. Google treats the users of their services like adults that can make their own choices alone, unlike Apple which treats them like children that are allowed to access only what Apple wants them to access.

Hi I'm a noob here and with anything android - so according to the noob video I found this thread, it's an old one so I hope that's ok.
I recently downloaded a free game called URBEX via amazon onto my kindle fire - the crippled android - anyway I really liked the game and browsing for something similar found what looks to be the very same game being sold by a chinese developer. The name of the game was only slightly different 'Arbex Escape' but the screenshots are of the URBEX game. Is it likely this Arbex is totally fake, I didn't see any point in downloading it to see but there are complaints about it not working on amazon and itunes where as URBEX has good reviews.
I looked up the so called developer of 'ARBEX' Zhiqiang Huang and Beth Ho, and it looks suspect to me but for all I know developers may allow resale remarketing of thier work somehow? I'ts made me look at the world of apps in a far more sinister light or am I just paranoid?
Doh, just seen it is an HTC thread, i'm not far off the mark though am I, I have got one of those too, and newly flashed and rooted, Very Many thanks to this site.

Tapatalk HD (beta) - For Tablets

After browsing this forum, and the top 10 apps thread, Tapatalk is obviously hugely popular. However there doesn't seem to be any mention of Tapatalk HD which is now out in beta from the Tapatalk forums.
I didn't know if everyone was aware of it and already using it. I did search these forums and there are a couple of threads....but not in Nexus 7.
I hope you guys find the HD app as great as I do
EDIT BETA 6 is out.....http://support.tapatalk.com/attachments/tapatalk-060-apk.7286/

I'm testing it right now and is awesome for tabs
Thx for share.

Haha. Can't edit.
It also rotates to landscape and backwards/upside down. My smartcase fold is at the bottom.
Kinda awkward. Never used Tapatalk before. I guess it'd be good for multiple forum handling but I prefer the XDA app specifically for XDA.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Lame, you have to register to get the beta. No thanks. You think you pay for this thing and they turn around don't tell you jack about the HD version.
To be honest, I have not been impressed by the lack of features and integration with some forum options. Also some of the patches have been poor and affected performance and even still the little pic for each forum you are subscribed too does not show up right away like it used to.

Just downloaded and installed it, it feels similar to the Tablet version of the GMail app. Would like it if it was possible to use in portrait mode as well as landscape , but still looking good.

I have to say as a new Tapatalk user and having heard many people saying how good it is im thinking, am i missing something here, there are only a few small categories and when i searched for a forum im a member of , and even posted the actual URL it brought up a list of TECH websites including funnily enough XDA and the forum i wanted was a music forum so it's not that good from what i can see, i had to just log into the forum the nornal way via Chrome.
Am i missing something here about Tapatalk, it really doesn't look that good and, i certainly wouldn't be paying for an app like this in the market unless they came up with far more categories for forums.

If you want a forum included in tapa talk, just contact the forum admin and request they include the tapatalk plugin. Its actually very easy for them to do... if they want to do it that is...

Well i suppose i could do that, but personally speaking i think it would be a lot easier if you just typed the forum URL into Tapatalk and it had the ability to save that particular forum so you wouldn't have to contact them and it just saved from there on in.
Not to mention the severe lack of categories available.
Overall im disappointed to be brutally honest. :/

The fact is the forum needs the plugin so that the app has permission to post/interact with the forum
If it just automatically worked, that would be HUGE security risk and anyone could potentially post/act as an admin... It needs to communicate with the forum so it knows your level of access

Thank you. There are many Google links, but the best points to an xda thread that I've read many times. That thread has a link to a thread that describes how to get pinch zoom working, and I've contributed to that thread. My problem is that I can get flash"working", but only on other sites, not Amazon prime. The AP videos will start, and I can even pause and resume, but I don't see any video. I've tried many flash versions, many browsers and many user agent settings, but haven't found any combination that works on 4.1.2. Any thoughts on where to go from here? I'd like to find someone on JB 4.1.2 who has it working and get their exact settings.

I think it's an Amazon thing that prevents playing the movies on anything other than a Kindle, even if you pay for Prime, which I do, and I am pretty sure that I should be able to watch the movies I pay for, in addition to the Prime membership fee, on any device I want. (rant over).

Though Amazon does let you watch movies on other devices like Roku etc, but thats not what all of us here care so much about

On JB 4.1.1 it was possible to watch Prime on a Note 2 by installing Flash and setting the User Agent to desktop. That is according to reports in the threads about installing Flash on JB. It seems that something changed with 4.1.2.
