How come one of the largest phone-related sites for android users and more, doesn't have their own Mobile site?
It's no fun viewing xda-developers.com on the phone atm. It gets to big and have to zoom all the time..
And I know about the XDA app. But you only get 'boring' text there..
No images/videos etc.
I know alot of people would appreciate a more simple site to view the news on our phones...
So, how come?
Can it be fixed?
Im not talking about the forum now, only news page- and other pages.
Yes! that'd be great!
We have XDA app and Taptalk for the Forum.
And there are Wordpress readers.
I do want a mobile version layout for the portal though.
If you are a member on XDA, it's likely that you have android or WP7 - they both have apps which make the XDA layout suitable for mobile browsing.

Even the iPhone users have tapatalk.
Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
Forum Runner is also compatible with xda
Maybe you guys should read again?
Im not talking about the forum, I'm using the xda app..
Im talking about the Portal/News site.. And as i said, I know you can read the news in xda-app but you only get boring text.
We're looking into doing a mobile-formatted Portal. The forums with a mobile view isn't as user-friendly as the XDA Apps, so we're not likely to do that soon.
Yeah the mobile forum app. See there's a problem with that. Its search function can't find anything! Doesn't work. Completely broken. Useless.
Try searching for "launcher 7" I got not one relevant result and I know there's plenty of threads with that in title. No option for in post or title only. No choosing which sub forums. Quotes don't work. Its tapatalk based right? It looks and feels like it. I never get searches to work in that app either. That needs fixing. I can't believe no one for all the Google it, and use the search, responses has noticed SEARCH DOESN'T WORK.
Maybe connecting with xda-developer app can be a good idea too.
but without considering about that, it would be a great idea to make a mobile web, too!
mobile-formated portal.

Yes please! I've really come to enjoy the portal over the last few years and the information it provides to the extent that is is one of my bookmarked news sites. However, I've gone to 100% mobile for getting news and as a result, I mostly ignore the portal these days.
I may be wrong, but isn't there a simple plugin for generating a generic mobile view with image thumbnails/headers on top level and image and post text w/ comments on second click? It seems like most of the CMs I've looked at have something like that available... But I don't actually recall what is being used here...
There is also the downside of some plugins in that they do not give you any control over how a user selects which site version. The host server just looks at a user agent etc. and forces mobile content at them, even if they are using a tablet or larger screen. That never goes over very well...
YES ,this is good .
Then, I want to known if this site can be sufring by the mobile phone?
bump! lots of times the tapatalk app fails.. and the full view from mobile is a PITA
can keep track of every thing at any place at any time....
They should update the premium app for ics roms,
Now I know this can't be news....
https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/styles_mobile
Yes, that would be great.
I don't like to install apps in order to visit sites in mobile view.
the portal news can be read and viewed with GOOGLE READER and the xda RSS feed.

Who cares about the portal? I can watch the "news" sometime later when I get on a pc. What we need is the forums

That's why there are mobile forum apps. XDA app and Forum Runner.
I think we have too many customised scripts etc that would make the mobile version difficult to implement.
I don't know if this is a problem with the xda app or not. But when I reply to a post or even create one I am not being automatically subscribed to it.
Could a mod or admin of some sorts check out my account. Or have I done something incorrectly.
Thanks guys.

I +1 the op...
Even if I reply to posts on the site, I don't get auto-subscribed...
I have to manually subscribe each post from the app...
And I checked the options yesterday...everything seems to be in place...
(Even I was about to make a thread )

If you set the default subscription setting under Edit Options to something other than Do Not Subscribe then autosubscribe during reply or new thread creation should work.

That's the weird part...
After I had setup weekly notifs, I hadn't touched it since...
But from the last week, all of a sudden, I don't get auto-subscribed...
When I (re)checked the option, it still is set to weekly notifs...I toggled it to "no notifs" and back again, but still no solution...

Same here as OP. About a week ago, auto subscriptions stopped working. All of my settings are normal, and unchanged. I have it set to subscribe with no email.

Thanks. Glad I'm not alone here. Nothing has been changed in settings from me.
Maybe it has something to do with the new XDA 2013 theme?

That was my initial suspicion and the first thing our server guru asked about.
The issue has been raised and if he gets to the bottom of it I'm sure he'll pop his head in here and let us know.
Thanks for the heads up.

Testing thread subscriptions
Just wanted to confirm, this is just on the XDA app since the update? I tested via web and the notifications seem to be working normally.

I'm assuming this is related to app development?
I think you'd get a better response in the general Q&A forum mate.

I was just about to post a new thread about this. Subscribed threads have always worked for me. I never use the website, always the app. Since like last week, it stopped subscribing me. Someone, fix this!

This happens on my account, ever since I got it (which was a few weeks ago). It does not auto-subscribe to threads I reply to nor to threads I create; and, yes, in the options, it is set to "weekly notifications."
And, when I do subscribe to threads, it does not respect my notification type (instant, daily, weekly). I have it set to weekly, but my Gmail account is getting spammed every day dozens of times (popular thread, haha).

I gave up on it for now and I just use the XDA app with Latest, Participated to see every thread I have been on. I don't have any threads where I just read and never replied once so I don't miss anything this way.

Oh, that's nifty; I hadn't seen that on the app! Thanks!
--UPDATE--
Well, I think it's actually working now. I'm subscribed to this thread and a new one I just made, without doing it manually. Oh, and I realized why it wasn't respecting the notifications: just setting it to "Weekly" in options only do so for new threads, not old ones. Now I changed them all to weekly, *fingers crossed*!

This should be in About xda forum really, but a mod will move it across anyway.
I had a partial problem like this earlier, but mine just wasn't showing the images for buttons.
It shown the Thanks button okay, but the reply, multi-quote, edit etc. were just showing as writing with no image there.
That was happening on Opera Mini so I switched to Chrome and it was working fine again.

I'M not having these problems
Maybe it's because of too many members accessing the site at the same time....a slow internet connection or browser might add to it....i haven't experienced this yet...

XDA Advanced Search is Offline For Maintenance (XDA app "participated threads" too)
The XDA search server crashed this morning. Upon investigation, I found some filesystem errors on the server. It is running an Adaptec RAID controller with mirrored drives so it is very unlikely that there is actually a drive problem or any data loss. Rebooting the server and checking each drive status confirms this. At this point since this is the first time this error has happened on the server, I am inclined to believe this is more of a kernel bug problem rather than an actual drive issue.
However, this error resulted in a corrupted search index and therefore we are required to rebuild them which takes a few hours to do. While this is happening, "Advanced search" on the website will be offline, as well as the functions in the XDA App such as "Participated threads." Apologies for the inconvenience. I'll update this thread once search is back online.
Search is back up... nothing to see here...
Re: XDA Advanced Search is Offline For Maintenance (XDA app "participated threads" to
Bump... i guess search is down due to reindexing?
As search is down again.. may be people can read this thread.. or ask here instead of new thread..

Yup, server is actually offline completely, the hosting company is checking the hardware and will likely require a reindexing when it comes back up.

Greetings all,
after a long hiatus away... I'm back lurking around XDA ;-P
For a long while I was accessing XDA via Tapatalk app on android.
One day it stopped working, so I stopped coming... I hate using laptop for getting my Forum fix (although, this is how thread is being created).
Anyhow, I've just purchased a sparkly new mobile phone i.e. Asus Rog Phone 3.
So, I'd thought I'd DL the XDA app and get back in the mix.
Issue is when I try and login via app, Chrome and Firefox pop up on bottom of screen!?
I can however browse the forum via app as a guest.
I'm assuming there is an easy fix for this issue, I just cant seem to find it.
Help appreciated and TIA.

The app uses a browser to authorize the login.
There were some problems with Firefox, not sure status of that.
