Is the app down ,I click on it and it just sticks on the XDA logo ,website forum obviously working ok ,but the app seems to have an issue
Upgrades on the server side can cause outages. Try again after some time and update to the latest version
Much of the app seems to have suddenly shifted. I'm not sure I understand many of the changes especially as it's not been updated for 2 weeks
Seems to be working for me.
i gave up on it the last update broke it
i just use website now
are you using the old version....new:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.labs.play
The app works so-so. It could definitely use tons of improvement. It's good for push notifications. Every once in a while, clicking on a push notification will start launching the XDA app but then it goes away. Relaunching manually from the app icon works fine afterward.

Same here. It just doesn't want to load. Using the website now too.
I gave up on the app almost as soon as they released it. It is a mess. There is a thread for the app, seems backend changes made this recent mess.
Check out the new XDA app! Let us know what you think [App rolling out now]
The new app is just an upgrade to the current XDA app, so you should be able to just go into Play and hit "Update" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.labs.play The app is rolling out now, and will take hours to get to...
forum.xda-developers.com
I watched the New forums conversion and the app was behind on development. I decided then to only use the website and not the app in Beta!

no....read the thread psted above the new version is messed up
I thought it was just me. I switched back from iphone and didn't realize how much xda has changed since my older android endeavors.
I have not been able to use the app since 11/2 when it updated on all of my devices. It just hangs at the XDA logo. Have cleared cache, force stopped it, cleared data, and even uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still doesn't work. There are plenty of comments on the Google Play Store with complaints about the app not working but the app developers seem to be ignoring the comments including mine. A little acknowledgement from the developers about it would go a long way.
App never worked for me. Never loaded anything.
We've got a thread about this very crash in the xda app forum (2/3 of us are on pixel 6 pro and at least one comment in google PlayStore was a p6p too)
Latest update Broken App
So the latest PlayStore update has broken the app on Android 12. On my Pixel 6 Pro it worked fine on previous version but now it freezes on XDA logo and app never loads. Tried clearing cache/data. but no difference.
forum.xda-developers.com
Yesterday this app would just force close after I opened it, but today it seems to open but it won't keep me logged in. How the hell can an app made by this community have so many problems? This is baffling to me.

I had this issue, I have a pihole and turning it off solved it. I am able to get back on with my pihole enabled after that. It was just the initial launch. So try disabling any ad blockers.
I had to delete app data a couple times yesterday because it would get the XDA loading screen and then go back to the home screen.

how do I update apps like Amazon, photobucket, etc.? I can't update them from the market since I didn't download the from there in the first place.
download it from the market. Just try it. Download it, dispite it not shown in the market as an update. Once installed the phone and your market will see it as an update.

First time I logged into the market, it autoupdated all the junk. Goggles and visual voicemail won't update but that's it.
Yeah, I didn't even find "Visual Voicemail" in the marketplace anymore.
I'm pretty sure that T-Mobile might have pulled it from the market entirely.
Anyway, I can't seem to update Google Goggles either. I've tried several times, but it never seems to actually update and install the latest version.
Would it be safe to use Titanium Backup to remove that system application? Or is that not even possible, considering I've read that people have tried to remove the "bloatware" but it just seems to reappear after a reboot.
Any insights?

Damn, no more HD2 huh?
Yeah you can remove the bloatware from your device. Well, disable not remove. Read on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Ha.
No way, Jose!
I still have my HD2, it's just collecting dust on my computer desk right now.
I thought about using it as a fly swatter, but that seemed too dramatic!
KIDDING!
But yeah, that thing is legendary, so I couldn't just be rid of it.
And thanks for pointing me in the right direction man, good lookin' out!
If you don't want to disable the app which is very easy to do over terminal emulator, try freezing the app with titanium backup. That way you can see how your phone will work with it disabled. For example if you freeze/disable the stock messenger app no messaging app will work after that until you unfreeze/enable the stock one. Same thing with youtube. If you freeze the app and download the newer one off the market it wont work.
Some 3rd party app depend on the stock app to be functional. Let me know if you need help disabling an app. I'll make a video. I <3 my new camera. I traded a gun for it.
I can't seem to update Goggles...
I've disabled the application, then tried to update it from the marketplace, and still nothing manages to install.
I have successfully updated every other system application through the marketplace, with the exception of Goggles.
How can this application be updated properly?
Have you tried to enable it then update?

Rather odd. Have you changed your LCD density at all? That will cause some market apps not to show up if they are designed for '240' density.
If you haven't, try going to Settings > Applications > All > Market & uninstall updates and clear your market cache. Reboot your phone and give that a whirl.
Yeah i already tried that with the same result. Its super weird i dont know why i cant see it in the market its like its hidden or something.
The YouTube app has been acting very weird lately, as of last night it would crash randomly and not show my subscriptions. I guess the last update they made screwed it up as I have been seeing more and more postings about this.

Yep, I noticed the exact same thing. I noticed that my 'Home page' was cluttered with stuff that is not relevant to what I watch as well.
For some reason youtube in the market does not support our phone. Maybe its because of us having a bigger screen? If you have appbrain it will show it as in need of an update if you go to update thru appbrain it will take you to the app on the market but at the top it will say device not supported. The only work around to this I found was to find out what was the latest version and I googled the apk and installed it.
From your phone open the browser and head to https://play.google.com/store. (Tip: You may want to clear data and defaults on browser and Market before doing this.)
Search for “Google Wallet.” (If your browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. Just stay in the browser.)
When the results come back, tap on the Google Wallet icon.
Tap the “Install” button from within the browser and then sign into your Google account. (Again, this is all from the browser, not the Market app.)
Once you have signed in, you should be redirected back to the Market page in the browser.
Tap the back button until you are prompted for the Market or Browser again, this time choosing the Market.
The Android Market should open to the Google Wallet page with an option to install.
**Note 1: It has recently come to my attention that you will have to change to a Google build (although some custom ROM's are fine) in order for this to work for you.
**Note 2: If you are an international user, you must be rooted and have the app MarketEnabler installed. You can use T-Mobile or you can use my untested method of using AT&T as your carrier and may not need to take any of the steps above.
**Note 3: I highly recommend installing the older apk from the Themes and Apps subforum.
**Note 4: If Google Wallet throws up a banner that says "Unsupported Device," it's nothing to worry about. It's because you're rooted!

I tried clearing the data on the browser, but not the market. Trying now...
I had to clear data and cache on market and browser and try a couple times before it actually got around the "this item is not available for your carrier" message in the Market app, I had logged in on market.android.com, then after choosing browser for the app and it logged in, hit back and the chooser came up again then used Market and it opened straight to the install prompt and worked

The procedure I used was actually posted on engadget yesterday, but OP's is pretty much the same... don't know if they fixed it by now but it did work for me overnight. It's basically logging in on the browser then getting lucky when you back out and choose the market instead it goes right to the accept & install screen instead of the first app screen where it has the info for it and says "this is not available from your carrier"
It's working for me. My problem was I was clearing the browser data after every failure. It seems like the first time will fail every time, but if you sign out and start the browser process over without clearing the data it works.

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can help. I flashed PA_d2att-3.60-12JUN2013-050113 and pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130719-signed today and now I'm not able to download all of my apps from the App store. I was able to get a good amount of apps, but when I tried to put on Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, I was getting the Packet File is Invalid message.
I cleared the play store cache from within android but that didn't work. I tried rebooting into TWRP and clearing out all my cache's and that didn't work either.
I saw someone link a 'market fix' app and I even tried that. Nothing seems to be working.
Suggestions?

I'll check for new ones. I took that right from the first post on the thread on here. Maybe I misread something....
ahh yeah I saw 3.6 stable and completely missed the 3.69. I'll try it tonight when I get home and charge this thing back up. Hopefully that works.
Just tried installing apps again. This time over wifi rather than LTE. They worked. Weird. I could understand if no apps downloaded over LTE, but I downloaded probably 20 or so and only a handful didn't work.
Oh well. I'll stick with this ROM for the moment and see how it behaves over a few days.
Thanks again for pointing out there was a newer one.
Temporary fix anthill Google fix on they end
Unlike other solutions that I have seen, this actually works: Follow the below simply step carefully to solve this problem
1.download this VPN software(hideman) http://www.mediafire.com/download/4b5mato1mtb7vrk/net.hideman_2.1.apk
Or you can still download any other vpn software that can change your ip but I used hideman
2.After you have installed this software on your phone,open it and click on country of connection and choose United State then connect
3. Now open your playstore and download any app
This is just idea from : http://www.droid-life.com/2013/08/0...-is-invalid-error-for-many-during-app-updates . I did not take credit for it.

This is driving me crazy!!!
When my phone is off sitting on a table and it rings, the screen does not come on. Just sound. I thought it was the theme, so I removed it from the dialer app and that didnt help. I removed the update in the Playstore and the screen comes on again when it rings. I removed auto update for the app, but what could be the reason the updated app isn't working for me?

Your issue has been reported by several others as well. They are doing the same thing you are to make it work. Would recommend you log complaint on play store under the phone app and see what happens. I truly think Google does this to jack with the themeers!

Stock, but I can't take it anymore, so I removed the update and installed Simpler dialer. I can't even disable the stock dialer or the screen won't come on. It's just been removed as default at this point.

I don't know if this will help or not, but a couple weeks or so ago, the Google phone app was giving me trouble with themeing. It was due to the fact that the theme was actually ahead of the Google update(go figure). So another user figured it out and linked me to the phone app on apk mirror. So I uninstalled the phone app, downloaded the apk mirror version from December 14th, installed it, and it worked great with my theme. What's more is that even after the update from Google, I'm not having the issue that you are, or many others for that matter. Here's the link if you want to give it a go. Can't promise anything, but what the heck :good:

I installed it and applied the theme and it worked. Since the latest update, it doesn't. The version you posted is different than the one he did. I'm half tempted to try it, but at this point I have all the updates off the phone app and using a different dialer and it's working.
Also, how are you uninstalling the stock phone app...all I can do is uninstall the updates and disable.?

I uninstalled it using my root explorer. I just delete the apk, reboot, and gone. Have to be rooted though. If nothing else, just install the apk, then if you wind up with 2 phone apps, just disable or freeze the bad one. Or, just do what your currently doing. The updates aren't that big a deal anyways :good:

Just tried it. Once I apply theme, phone won't light up. Deleted 3rd party dialer, removed theme from dialer you provided. Now I'm using the Google dialer you gave me in stock white blinding form. A bit pissed...
I have the same issue. In my case I have a gear s3, and if I disconnect the bluetooth, when the call is coming the screen turn up normally, but if the gear is connected, the screen stays black..Additional, when you take a call or do a call, the sound automatically is route to the bluetooth device, I have to habilitate the sound in the phone manually. I think it was with the January update or the phone app last update, because other people have the same issue in their android devices. The solution for now is go to Play Store, search Phone app for Google, uninstall the updates, then go to settings in the phone - Apps - Phone, and clear the cache and data, force stop of the app. The phone app come back to another version (12.1...) which doesn't have this issue, after that the calls working normally. I hope for a fix from Google...
