Please don't flame me if I've overlooked this: is it possible to search within a thread using the XDA Labs app? I wanted to try to find a string within this thread but am presented without any option to search, at least from what I can see. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Secondly, would it be possible to make the long press back and forward buttons from within a thread take you to the first or last page, respectively?

Lastly, I've encountered a bug when trying to reply to PMs. For some reason the toast "sending failed" message appears. I need to copy text and create a new message in order to send it. Just wondering if others have noticed this.

Thanks for your time,

--Mike

1. Known limitation. It will be added asap (maybe with the APIs 2.0)

2. It already does it....

3. I had that issue too. Probably blk_jack will check it
[Android Apps and Games] XxMikeMasterxX:
Thanks very much for your reply. I am very much looking forward to the next release. This app is worthy of the even the toughest critics. But what do I know - I'm just a noob.

I feel like an idiot regarding the long-press. Haha happens to the best of us. Right?

...right?

[Android Apps and Games] Manuel15:
Yes, it can happen to everyone. Don't worry ;)

[Android Apps and Games] stunned:
I don’t understand your hostile response. I politely offered a feature suggestion, even gave my reasoning why I would think it would be good addition. Didn't request or demand (english is not my first language, but I'm pretty sure I just asked a question) anything.
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
It would probably be good to add to your profile what country you're in. I know it can be difficult when English is not you're native language but your request does not sound polite to a native English speaker. It does sound a little demanding. :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Manuel15:
Yea, it a problem when people have to write in a language that's not your native one. I.e. I'm italian, and sometimes it's difficult for me to write things in English "in the right way". So I know it can happen if non-native english people write something in english, it can be misunderstood. (Probably I made grammatical errors in this post too)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Backup apps and data with Titanium Backup, which I'd be surprised if you don't do already, flash new rom, restore apps (and data for XDA Labs) and no sign in required.

And if you aren't using titanium backup, I would think signing into one app would be the least of the work you need to do after flashing a rom. ;)

:good:

I'd say you did pretty well! :)

My Meizu M2 Note was detected as Sony M2 ?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Here is a reminder for everyone.

If your device is not correctly identified in "My device" section, there are a few possible reasons:

1- Your device is NOT listed in android-device-names-registry > parsed.devices. In this case, XDA Labs can't know the device name to show up in the app if the ro.product.model of the build.prop is not known by the app itself.

2- Your device is listed in android-device-names-registry > parsed.devices but it has been added after the latest version of XDA Labs was released. Meaning it's not taken into account yet.

3- Your device is listed in android-device-names-registry > parsed.devices but there is a possible glitch/bug (already happened and reported in the past)

In any cases, you can try to manually change your device by following this procedure.

Like stated in OP#2, anyone who notices a model missing in parsed.devices file can add a pull request (or ask here in this thread if you really don't know how to do it yourself on GitHub) but it will need to wait next version of XDA Labs to be taken into account.

Hope it helps.

I keep getting a 'Post creation failed' error every time I try to reply to someone in a thread. Google Pixel 2 XL, stock, running latest XDA Labs app.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Can you post using a web browser in that thread?

I know the Google Camera Mods forum has been set with particular perms at the beginning and then it was supposed to be open for everyone. I don't recall where it's at now...

[MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION] could you please refresh my memory? Also are those perms OK using XDA Labs / XDA app now? Is something need to be fixed on the Labs back end?

[MENTION=1101274]sourbear[/MENTION] you'd need to provide logs maybe.
[Android Apps and Games] MikeChannon:
Anyone should be able to reply to a thread in "Google Camera Mods" but only the Team can post new threads.

I haven't tested in Labs but if folk are having a problem replying in "Google Camera Mods" via Labs then it'll be a matter for blk_jack

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks Mike :)

I have posted in the "[GCam] Google Pixel 1 / 2 / 3" thread with success using XDA Labs: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78422595&postcount=76

Can't you post in ANY threads using Labs? Or just the one shown in your screenshot?

[Android Apps and Games] Nebrassy:
When downloading an app from the labs app or the website a temporary link is generated and given, it works for most people, but for slow connections like mine (1 Mbps) it's a problem, for example, I was trying to download a 22 MB app, it kept failing on the labs app so I tried downloading from the website using Chrome, but it also kept failing on 16/22 MB downloaded, eventually I used ADM which also failed then I generated a new link and finished the download

The temporary link expires too quickly and that should be fixed

First, the app should use some way of authentication and use a different method to download that never expires

And temporary links on the website should also be changed, either extend the lifetime of each link considerably, or make each link only available to the IP that requested it, and make it available for hours.
[Android Apps and Games] sourbear:
It seems to be only that thread as I just successfully posted a reply in a ZTE Axon 7 thread but couldn't reply to you in the GCam thread. See screenshot below. And if this reply right here works too, then it's definitely only the GCam thread.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Can you please test to post using a web browser instead of xda labs in the GCam thread to see if it works?

IMO:

> If it works using a web browser for you, there would be definitely an issue with Labs and only logs can help.

> if it doesn't work even using a web browser, it would be a perm issue related to the xda website itself. So maybe an xda admin could help.

Do you want me to delete your test post from the GCam thread or is it fine?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Not sure I understand your request but maybe this post could be useful for you: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post71414801
[Android Apps and Games] Nebrassy:
This is in part of what I want.

The problem is that, when you request to download an app, a temporary link is generated for you to download that app which later expires, but it expires too quickly, not giving enough time to complete the download on slow connections

This problem affects downloads from both the app and the website, and I understand the reason to prevent hotlinking the apk, but that temporary link should either take longer to expire, or make that temporary link ip specific, like you request an app to download, a temporary link is generated which can only be accessed from your current ip for say 8 hours, which many download sites do (mediafire etc...)
[Android Apps and Games] sourbear:
Yes, please delete it.

Where do I find the debug version?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:

[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
This is probably the same issue I and others were having with app downloads and slow net speed which was discussed ages ago and which led to the proposal of a custom download manager by blk_jack.

From what I remember, no one raised the idea of the links being temporary and too short lived as being the reason for the failed downloads.

If this is actually the case, maybe there's no need for a custom download manager at all. The fix proposed would remove that need.

Why can't i start a new thread using xda labs? I'm using oppo a3s
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Where do you want to create a new thread? Which forum/section? Please give us a link.

You can absolutely create a new thread uing XDA Labs. Maybe your issue is related to XDA permissions.

More info would be needed in order to help you :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chronic Zaman:
I can't post a new thread anywhere. I already allow the apps permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION], [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION],

could you please read the above quotes and tell us what would be possible on the back end about apps download temporary links expiring too quickly? Those with very slow internet seem to not be able to download big apps because of this too short expiry delay.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I meant XDA users permissions, not apps perms. :)

Please provide an example of "anywhere". You would have to provide a precise example (a link please) of a section where you can post using a web browser but where you can't using XDA Labs.

The ideal thing would be to provide logs.
[Android Apps and Games] Chronic Zaman:
I can't post a thread in general when I'm using this app, I can when I'm using a browser.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
You mean start a new Thread or post a reply? Depending on how many posts you had when you were unable to start a new Thread - It could be related to xda rules for new members? ?️
[Android Apps and Games] Chronic Zaman:
Start a new thread... I can post reply on the app but can't start a new thread no matter what I do.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Think that there is/was something preventing new users with less than a certain number of posts (10 I think it is/was) on Development Threads - That may have changed? It was intended to prevent various Riff-Raffs from being annoying lol ? ? ?️
[Android Apps and Games] Chronic Zaman:
Like I said, I can do it in a browser. The enter button for the app doesn't respond when I use the labs to post a new thread
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION], This "new member rule" is the reason why I asked [MENTION=8383985]Chronic Zaman[/MENTION] precise example of where thread creation fails exactly for him/her. In a dev section? Or elsewhere?

Members below 50 posts shouldn't be able to post in development section, no matter if they use a web browser or XDA Labs. Please read this: Want To Post In Development?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Where do you want to create a thread exactly? Which section of XDA ? A development section? Can you please post a link of the section where you want to create a thread (as already asked previously)?

If you don't tell us where you want to create a thread using XDA Labs exactly, we can't help you unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Also, [MENTION=8383985]Chronic Zaman[/MENTION] If you think this is not because of any XDA rule for new members (e.g. 50 posts rule to create threads in dev section), and you think you face an actual bug, please provide logs.

Edit: I'm spamming the board bros!!!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Yeah unfortunately I'd bet dollars to donuts that almost no new member reads the "Want to Post in Development" post.... ever. Should be compulsory for new members to read & acknowledge that they read - understood & agreed with it. ?️

That's not my problem, because I tried first posting in "Questions and answers" forum using XDA Labs and it didn't worked, right after that I tried posting using a browser and it worked.

Who's allowed to update apps on XDA Labs? Specifically referencing AdAway here. PerfectSlayer is the current maintainer. See this post https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2190753&p=78465587
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Lol you stole my question xD

So I'll ask another one instead. I've been trying to create a post in a thread (using Labs) and it failed multiple times. Here's the log from the event. I've used Labs to post in that thread multiple times in the past successfully.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Anyone with an xda account can upload their own apps and it will be available instantly. They have to create a project, edit it and upload and enable builds.

AdAway on Labs is linked to MrRobinson's xda account, so it means only MrRobinson is allowed to update this project and upload new builds. But PerfectSlayer could use his/her own xda account to create a new project and upload his/her own version of AdAway using PerfectSlayer's account. That implies MrRobinson would have to agree and to delete or disable his builds from Labs to avoid confusions. Otherwise, MrRobinson would have to upload PerfectSlayer's builds using his xda MrRobinson account. Makes sense?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks for the logs! As you know I'm not the dev, so I can't do anything besides reading them a bit (what I did here) and tell you thanks!

If it worked well in the past and no longer now, I would bet my Santa hat it's a back end glitch considering the XDA app has not been updated since March.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
Speaking of devs, whatever happened to [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] ?

[Android Apps and Games] Emil Borconi:
Not sure if it's the best place to ask, but I guess it's a start.

I'm using XDA Labs to publish apps, and I have a feature request, it will be very nice if we can see some stats per app.

I can see a total number of downloads, but that's a total for all my apps, I will really like to know, how well each app is performing, how many downloads per app and how many purchases (for paid app). I've noticed that updates are usually counted as another download so at the moment the number offered it has absolutely no meaning...

Happy to support this in any way needed (development or financially).

Thanks.

I see what [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] says about stats, and that's true, I was refer to Labs only stats (mainly because almost all my apps are banned from Play Store so I only distribute on Labs :D )

Hi, for some reason xda lab load my subscribe thread really slow. Takes like 5 min or more. If I use the legacy see it doesn't have that issue. Also, sometimes posting in thread it says failed then I try on mobile browser it works... Can we fix / optimize the load time? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
In most cases the loading time is related to the backend of XDA itself, so it's not a problem of Labs per se.
[Android Apps and Games] andronikal659:
That wouldn't make sense though because the Samsung browser on my phone loads instantly and other xda forum apps but not xda lab. Also, it keeps failing to post in thread. Whereas the mobile web browser works flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I think there is / are application(s) dedicated to XDA Labs on XDA servers, aka Labs back end. So as said by wolfcity, a Labs back end issue would be in order here, but maybe just for some users.

I can't notice slowdowns for threads and posts loading on my end.

About your "post creation failed" issue, I think there is an actual issue with XDA Labs for some people posting on Google Camera mod forum. Already reported here but no logs provided so far.

I think there is definitely a forum perms issue somewhere in the matrix regarding people using the Labs app, but just for some users maybe (I've tried and I can post myself FYI and I've noticed a few others posting here with XDA labs IIRC). Weird. For the record, the Google Camera forum has been set with wrong perms at first by the admins, only the GCam team members were able to post in threads and to create threads, but then it has been changed and now anyone can post in existing Google Camera threads but only team members can create threads. Maybe something went wrong here and Labs is affected? I'm just assuming here.
[Android Apps and Games] andronikal659:
Ah ok. I understand. I thought you meant xda forum back end. No worries. Thanks for clearing up.

For the posting issues, maybe it's just me. When I create a new post it ask to continue from where I left off even though I don't have anything. If I say to load, it loads whatever I tried to post that failed. Anything I can do to clear it? Maybe you're right, I don't think other thread had issues. Need to double check. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] pedro1977:
In addition to a thanks button we need an agreed / agreement button so when someone states a solution/ ststement you can agree with them o)
[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
I just use thanks as an agree button.

Hit Thanks if you agree.
[Android Apps and Games] pedro1977:
Why would you thank them when you don't have the problem and haven't asked them for help??
[Android Apps and Games] Badger50:
Many times I don't post a comment about a particular problem, resolution, or situation. However, hitting the thanks button signifies my agreement with them for that particular situation :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] shaqman89:
Seems like me and at least 7 others are doing so above ?

Thanks = agreeing.

But sometimes the thanks daily limit might make it hard to thank everything that we found agreeable, especially if visiting loads of threads, so I see where some cases that thanks = really agreeing rather than just simply agreeing like requested above.
[Android Apps and Games] Kpuer:
A good idea ,it seems very rare.
[Android Apps and Games] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Actually I get what he means. On many other boards there's a "thanks/agree" button, as well as a "solved" button which can be used by the OP as a marking for the best solution to his very problem. Though it comes in handy in times, it might be contradictory on other occasions. I'm torn between supporting and rejecting such an idea. According to my experience your solution is the best we can have out of both worlds, as the thanks per post indicator on the right column within a thread will lead everyone to a possible solution imho.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Thanks! As to the images, D'oh! I should have realized that. I'm planning an update to that thread anyhow and will change to on-site images or another host.

As to the issue with quotes/mentions not being refreshed: I've had some time to test.

This may be a problem with the actual user profile and or data store on the server rather than a bug in the app although it could be an obscure bug that only appears under certain circumstances of the users account.

- New quotes are not shown since some time in October or November 2018 on any of 3 devices.

- The devices are all running September builds of LOS 14.1 (w/LOS SU). The most recent XDA Labs quotes/mentions on the devices (before testing clean install) are from July, September and October depending on the last time each device scanned for new quotes.This is an incidental indicator that this is unlikely to be a problem with the ROM itself since the dates of last successful update of quotes/mentions across the 3 devices flanks the date that the ROM was last updated.

- Quotes which had previously been scanned for and loaded before this issue started appear but newer ones are not loaded.

- In a clean installation of XDA labs no previous quotes are shown (an expected result which is the point of this step - logged). Attempts to refresh yield "Network Connection Error" - "Force Refresh".

The issue has been reported by very few if any other people, and since it may relate to an individual user account I'm holding the log in case this should be reported elsewhere more privately. Should I sanitize and share the log here or is there an other route to take this this issue. Thanks again.
