XDA and Tapatalk problems - About xda-developers.com

Hey, the search function on XDA on desktop isnt working for me at all.
Also on Tapatalk, same problem, and my "latest/participated" posts arent showing up. I can't find a thread about a downtime alert or anything.

We are aware of this issue. The index of our search database became corrupted so we are rebuilding that. It takes a few hours but things will work after that is back up. Should finish up pretty soon.

WM6.5 Facebook app available as cab, running fine on Touch HD

See following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489379
Works fine on my Touch HD. Using Dutty's Extreme 2.1 ROM. No configuration required after install. Slight issue with the error "101: Invalid API key" thing but this is minor. A definite improvement on SkyBook.
Would be great to have this available from a seperate tab on touchFlo3D.
what the hell, seriously, you linked to an external site, that linked to another external site that linked to XDA-Developers thread?
what the bejeezus didn't you just link to the XDA-Developers thread in the first place?

Yeah, OK. I promise to be more diligent in my link posting next time!
I've now updated the original post.
It's working fine for me on Duttys 1.9 rom.
Not bad, needs a bit of work.
a bit slow
works fine on the original stock rom, but is a bit slow to perform tasks inside the applications like scrolling the pages up and down. maybe due to the 3g speeds in optus in australia. will have to try using the application in wifi.
I haven't tried this app using 3G but with WiFi there don't seem to be significant speed issues.
tested it out, looks gd, but when i sent a msg, said API error, how'd i know if the msg sent at all??
try it (im on dutty 1.9 xtreme)

Sorry, but I have to laugh
Thanks for the info!! installing now!!!
Thanks bro....works fine for me...
Far from perfect but it gets the job done, I kind of still prefer the look of http://iphone.facebook.com despite the decreased functionality.
great little app, a bit buggy but it can only get better and the UI is better than anything else I have tried on the Touch HD
left this running in the background overnight and this morning it comes into focus full screen saying "internet error" every 10 minutes or so.. closed it for now but may not like being left running.
I like the idea... would be nice to be able to drill down a bit deeper into the information it gives you before diverting you to the full website - no major advantages to using this over a shortcut on your internet tab imo.
facebook app not updating! HELP!!
i have the facebook app from post#1 it worked at first but after hard resetting my touch pro (for other reasons)and reinstalling it dosnt want to update any of the tabs when i hit update i have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with no change...does anyone else have this problem? is there a fix? i waited too long for a FB app please HELP

[GUIDE] Beginner's Guide For The HTC One X

Hi.
This is the guide I made for the Desire S forum to help newcomers to Android and HTC. It turned out to be quite popular and helpful, so I have given it a tweak for the One X and put it here for your benefit. It’s in .pdf format so you can download it and read it on your phone at your leisure.
Again this is only for people coming from Nokia, iPhone, Blackberry etc. I’m pretty certain that this device is going to tempt a lot of people away from them. If you’ve owned an Android before this will all be known to you.
Hope it helps!
P.S. This dropbox link will expire every couple of months. If you have problems downloading, let me know. I’ll get the link refreshed ASAP.
Link updated 9th May
Download link: http://db.tt/K7U6Z76L
Updated link so it should work again. Let me know if it stops and i'll refresh it.
Think I posted it too soon for most people to find. This is a VERY busy forum.
Happy to help.
I probably fall under the list of people who do not need to follow this guide. But alone the fact that one of the first things i read was not to install a task killer goes to prove that this is well worth a read for 'noobs'.
Hahaha! That was one of the first mistakes i actually made on my android phone, i installed a task killer.
Oh! Gotya Facetrap, i'm so installing that.

If it's even a little bit helpful then I'm happy!
I simply adjusted it from the Desire S guide I did.
I would like to have people post their new-comer stumbles and discoveries here. God knows I went through enough myself. Two years ago I thought an apk was an assault rifle!
If they are worth the addition then I'll periodically update this guide to include them (giving credit to the sources of course) and it should grow into quite a useful starting point from people finally putting their iPhone down.
It'll help me improve and evolve this beginners guide to help other newcomers from tripping on the same hurdles as us. We all started somewhere!
Note: This is not meant to include stuff on rooting, unlocking, flashing etc. This is already covered in sufficient detail here on XDA. This is just about getting started.
To be honest, i really enjoyed this guide.
It's actually really helpful. Love some of the Apps you've listed, much better than the "top 50 android apps" i've encountered using google search.
The power management part was also of help. Didn't know of the "*#*#4636#*#* part.
Thanks!
Great guide, however, the wifi sleep policy advice can be confusing. Your guide says to set wifi sleep to "never". However, the option on screen refers to staying awake, not sleeping. Users should actually select "always"
Easy to work out but it may confuse noobs.
nice!!
thanks for the work and share!!
Handy guide, soo is tasker your app? Cmon you have to be some sort of benefitery
I actually heard about Tasker from an AT&T rep when I went in to change my plan. Awesome app, and this guide helped me learn about the loveliness that is exit task. I actually made a separate profile to undo what my work profile did. Good to know I can just make an exit task . I learned something today, woot! Once my battery test is done, i'll mess with it a bit more. Running the test because I am curious, battery runs fine for me so... 10min in, only 3% down.

That's how it used to be worded on older android phones, which of course caught me out when I switched to the HOX.

Yeah some Roms have features that take over from Tasker. Sense 3.5 had that power management for battery low. It's gone in sense 4 (apart from that hidden menu but no one knows when it kicks in) so Tasker resumed that roll. It's just handy for filling the gaps in a Roms functionality, if like me, you can't write a line of code to save your life! Things like gps off when exiting navigation, and underclocking when using navigation AND charging (which makes my phone run VERY hot).

[Q] How exactly do you fix GPS on CM9?

I'm on CM9 A5 about to ugprade to A6.
However, my GPS won't lock. Navigation keeps saying "Searching for GPS". I have a trip I need GPS for in about 2 hrs and it will suck if I cannot get it to work.
I searched and it's something about flashing to gingerbread? I couldn't find any clear instructions on what exactly I would have to do though. How can I do that from CM9? Would I loose my data? I spent 2hrs configuring tretchbucket and stuff, hopefully I won't have to wipe in order to fix my GPS.
Can someone explain please?
Dont take this the wrong way but I am not sure where you were searching because the answers are associated with the CM9 thread and clearly noted unfortunately in too many places throughout the web and this section of the forum...
All the questions you have asked are all answered in the directions.... Gotta change up your words when searching which may help... This is part of the install guide section under tools
Not trying to flame just that this question is an easy one

Thanks! I tried the flashable zip, however the GPS didn't lock.
I followed the temporary emmc boot, locked on using that, and now my GPS is working flawlessly and locking very quickly.

Interesting concept searching.....:good::good:
sometimes even after searching it is still hard to find the answer to a question. it is much easier and more thorough to have a conversation with someone on the forums about the problem/question.
but then there are also times where it is very obvious that the person did not try searching for their answer.

Chrome problem.
I thought I'd throw this out there. I prefer chrome as my android browser but in crashes in any AOSP/AOKP variant. I search this thread and no one has reported and I understand not everyone uses chrome and I wouldn't expect you to. General internet search reveals some similar issues without a resolution. I tried clearing history and app cache. Using default input and alternative results in same outcome.
In a nutshell, chrome is OK until I try typing, such as good search or URL, then freezes and FC.
If anyone has a suggestion it would be appreciated as this is the ROM for me, and I've tried them all (because I'm a flashaholic)...my name is blah, blah blah.
Just a shot in the dark.
Thanks.

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled chrome? what about boot and reboot? My kid had a problem with a game he dl'd from the Play store until I told him to reboot. That seemed to clear the issue.

[Q&A] CyanogenMod 11.0 | Android 4.4 KitKat [UNOFFICIAL]

Let's try and put all the questions here so we keep the Dev thread clean.
Sent from inside the time vortex
Aren't bugs supposed to be posted in the dev forum? To me the Q&A forums should be like "How do I find the freaking developement options" or "What is ART". Seems silly to have a Q&A about a rom thats in developement.
Yeah but people are asking the same questions over and over

New bugs that haven't been reported 100 times already, and that come with and ONLY THAT COME WITH a logcat showing the log of error should be posted in development forum.
Silly or not, this is a strategy for moving non development questions out of dev threads that has proven effective on XDA and that has specficially been appreciated by Albinoman since he started building CM for the HTC Sensation over a year ago.
This will also hopefully cut down on the number of "Wow! This ROM is awseome!" posts that litter development threads and make it hard to find real issues. Because he is a particularly awesome Developer, Albinoman gets quite a bit of those. Posts like that and repeat reports of known bugs, and even reports that say "everything works great" do little more than bury useful development related posts that would be useful to a developer. Albino has previously expressed his frustration over this in other threads.
So please, everyone please use this thread for all the questions, reports of smooth operation, and appreciate posts about how awesome Albino is.
And for that matter, (this is directed at everyone) if you all really love Albino's work so much, toss him a few bucks. He has worked countless hours trying to sort out everything from major issues to tiny annoying bugs to keep your phones running far better than they did on the day you first took them out of the box. Send a buck or two (Or twenty!) his way to thank him for his hard work.
Click below to donate to him....(Yes, this button donates to Albino, not me)

Question
So I downloaded 11/13 and so far the only thing that I can't get to work is the auto rotate function. I tried to change it in stetting by turning it on and off by that has not seemed to get it to work. Any ideas?
Lastly I was playing a games (Clash of Clans) before I flashed my phone i backed up everything via titanium backup, once I got done flashing and installed the game with data it wouldn't start were I had left off. It just wanted to initiate a new game. Could this be due to compatibility with the game on 4.4? Or am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks

I don't think Titanium works with 4.4 yet. So any of your save data in Titanium will not be able to be restored....yet. Ephisis on yet.

If it can be done go to Camera, hit the menu button, and look for the settings menu in there. (It's all icons so I can't tell you what anything is called.)
But that option may not be added to the camera yet.
When I was on the SGS4G forums we put questions in its own Q&A thread and it worked really well.
BTW anyone else having issues with the sound search widget?

Are you to running ART or Dalvik? Titanium will not work using ART. Many bugs going on with ART as it is experimental and it had been recommended by all the developers I've seen to stick to dalvik for now

Mute not working
I am unable to post in the dev thread as I do not have a high enough post count but I am having issues with mute on the ROM. While on a call if I push mute, the button lights as if it is muted but I have confirmed that it does not actually mute anything. This can be rather awkward to say the least. Looking through the dev thread, I saw one or two people mention the same issue but it seems to have gotten buried in all the other posts.
Anyone have any ideas or can we get this added to the bug list?
one suggested solution is formatting the SD card to vFat
I formated my SD card to vfat but still won't show up.I guess any other suggestions would be appreciated. But not a big deal to me

Did you mean that you aren't able to access external SD?
If so, I had the same problem until I updated to 11-15. Think it was fixed in update.
BTW, remember to change File Manager access mode (File Manager app - in general settings) make sure to change from Safe Mode to Enable Root Access Mode.
I thought the ROM still had that bug until I found root access option lol.

Its possible that its not a rom issue. The proximity sensor on the S4 is known to foul easily from dust.
But it also cures easily by hitting it with compressed air into the speaker grill. Its certainly worth a try.
