Xda app not working? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having connectivity issues with the XDA forum app or Tapatalk?
XDA works fine through a browser. But Tapatalk and XDA apps take forever, if at all, to load. I usually get a failed to connect message.
Doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or data.

Yes and it's only just recently it's been happening for a few days but I thought it might be a server issue so I'm only just now looking for a real solution. Clearing cache and dalvik in recovery seems to fix it temporarily. For anyone who hasn't experienced it: hitting reload or starting app will give a "unable to connect to forum. Please contact your administrator if this problem persists." This occurs on both lte and Wi-Fi. Also it may be related: I'm unable to watch videos on chrome browser or javelin browser. It's really strange. Setup: HTC m8 rooted a-on tmobile arhd 7 and elex 17. Most things stock with kernel.

Yup I always get an xda app error message. Annoying.

It's happening on my son's sgs3 as well. Both with XDA APP and Tapatalk. So it's on XDA's end.

Here is something weird. Installed ad-away and it's working 95% better. Idk

That is strange...I don't have it currently and usually do. I'll install and inform if it improves.

Do you need to be rooted to install ad-away??

Yeah the xda app is crap, half of the time I get the connection error on a perfectly stable connection, and mostly it won't load all threads etc...
:/
I've got adaway too.

Xda App is actually the worst app known to human and our alien brothers.

It's been fine for a while. I installed adaway again but not sure if it's that our maybe they just corrected a forum thing. Using tapatalk btw.

I gave up on the XDA app a long time ago, it's absolutely terrible and beggars belief that for a forum with so many skilled people on, whoever is behind this app needs to put some serious effort into improving it.
Stick to the Tapatalk app, not perfect much better than the XDA one.

My went back to being a piece of s**t again. It was just coincidence I suppose. It only works 15% of time with Tapatalk or XDA APP. It's funny a development forum app is plague with bugs.

Yes,awful lately

Plus one!!! It has been almost a week now that XDA access via TapaTalk has been terrible. I hate using the browser, so I hope both XDA and TapaTalk get it together and resolve this stuff.

The XDA app is made by Tapatalk and non of the guys you on about don't work for them.

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the App? Cleared app data? Multiple things you can do.
Yeah. Ive tried both! Im ablut to factory reset

Seems like a Facebook issue.... They've been pushing updates thru network and not the store.... Which is against TOS, so it could most likely be on the apps end.

Is it note3 specific? No issues on s3
Crashes a lot less on note3 but still does funky stuff other than crash. Note2 was problematic. Lots of crashes.

I'm getting them too.
when i click a post it chooses one above and in order to click correct i have to click on the line at the very bottom of the post or it freezes and crashes
The XDA app always sucked (especially notifications), so I switched to Tapatalk after it went free. The only thing I don't much like about Tapatalk VS XDA is that you can't "mark all as read" for certain sections suchs all the "Participated (Unread)" threads; have to either ignore or read each one one-by-one
XDA Premium is really bad. Hard to fathom how they put that out. I use Tapatalk Pro/paid whatever and it is pretty reliable. I had to start over the app every time I switch screens on XDA. It used to work okay.
Is not only on note 3, I have nexus 10, I have a same problem all time crashes...... Ironic.... Xda crashes and no body fix it

lol same here, soo annoying. I hate to ditch the xda app but thinking about using the Tapatalk app, I also really really hate the new layout/ui of the xda app. I have an older backup of the premium app (think it's like 2.2.1 or some shizz) and have always found my way around on that version. 4.doh! and above is confusing and a headache!
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda premium
I guess I'm in the minority, as I use the latest XDA Premium app daily without problems, and have for over a year. The only issue I have is that sometimes when I switch to another app and then back to XDA, it relaunches the app rather than going back to whatever page I was on, and even that doesn't happen very often...

Xda has been crashing ever since I've joined xda honestly they never get it right. It's a sight by developers For Developers Yet They Can't Get It Right lol
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Does it just crash randomly, or is there a specifix action that causes it to crash for you guys? I'm real curious about this now, because as I've said, I've used it on 3 different phones and dozens of ROMs and I don't think I've had it crash on me even once.

XDA app acting up

Hey all! Anyone having issues with XDA app?
Having troubles clicking on a post to reply....usually it highlights the one above. If you find the sweet spot near the bottom of the post you wanna quote/thank then it finally works.
And I'm getting tonnes of force closes.
This is happening on my t989 and my N7. So must be app related? I've tried tapatalk, but after the last update, the edit function seems broke. I make way too many spelling mistakes to tolerate that glitch. LOL
Just wondering if I'm alone with these issues??
Thanks!!

+1 I almost thought it was my ROM

Actually ...I looked on play store. The ratings lately complain of both these issues. Come on XDA devs ....set an example for the rest of the app world. LOL
This is an app for a development site, and you can't iron out your own apps bugs.
If I could edit my posts in tapatalk....xda app would be gone.

I'm glad you posted this because I thought it might be just me. I really can't fathom why XDA hasn't updated their app in a stone's age.

Xda premium the most buggy app on my phone

Does anyone else have this problem? It only loads half the time I've been through multiple reinstalls on multiple different roms and it's still super unreliable.... I think it's ironic that the xda premium app is so buggy

Haha this is funny because I had to log on the computer to reply because my app won't load right now. It seems to work a little better when I'm not connected to a wifi network, though not by much (bad network connection isn't the cause).
Mine stalls and won't load half of the time too. I usually just hit the back button, then re-open the app and it loads on the second try. Slightly annoying but still faster than using the browser.

I notified the mods several times last week. Everytime I turned xda on it would say connecting to servers for 15 minutes.

+1 this. Idk what the deal is. Half the time it won't even load period if I am connected to any WIFI source. I get a connection fail. Even when I use the data network it hangs half the time. When I do finally get it to where I can actually reply to something the message only posts 1/3 of the time. Otherwise I get a "you do not have permission..." blah blah blah. I don't even receive notifications anymore. The only way I know if someone responds to anything is when I get an email notification in Gmail. Idk what happened to this app. It used to be awesome.
I use wi-fi 90% of the time and don't have trouble loading any other app.

I noticed the same thing on tapatalk at times when accessing the xda site. From what I can tell it mostly has to be on xda end as I have no problem accessing other forums that I am a part of.

It's across the board. My kindle fire, rezound and gtablet all have the same issues with xda app. I have gotten so used to loading and reloading I barely notice it now. Minor annoyances!

Same
I'm experiencing the same. Doesn't load on first try, slow on second, a little better on wifi. The irony...
It's crazy that one of the top downloaded paid apps is this unstable... It's like bitstrips when it first came out but worse.... Because I paid for it
