Great news everyone , the notification seems to be working again , recently I received notification from the app for PM and Quotes :victory:.

What I've done :

I received first the mail notification and then ( 2 min after ) I received the notification from the app.

The only thing I've done is wait for this notification without opening the app .

I opened the app at the boot and I closed it for about 8 hours , just that , without disabling battery optimization .

I don't know if I were lucky or something like that but I know most of the people using XDA Labs are missing the notifications , so if it can help a little bit , I'm happy to share this with you :highfive: .
[Android Apps and Games] adinechin:
Yeah, in fact it seems that something was solved on the server side : it seems to work better for some days, and when checking the logs, I no longer have error logs about the connection to the MQTT server :o
[Android Apps and Games] Venom0642:
Awesome not sure what they did , but been back on XDA Labs for weeks now, running with no type of delays at all, running smoothly ???
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Agreed - Labs delays have been minimal over the past 10+ days; when they do occur a quick visit to the web portal suggests a system wide issue that quickly dissipates. I don't use local notifications so can't comment there. ?
[Android Apps and Games] Raiz:
Yes , I hope it'll last forever :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks to all for your feedback, I can confirm no delay for threads and pages loading and no more issue with push notifications as well. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] vonDubenshire:
Is it possible to make the navigation bar for Samsung match the "dark" theme for XDA Labs?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Call me silly - But you're probably better off looking at Themes - ie: Substratum ?
[Android Apps and Games] vonDubenshire:
As much as I love customizing my phone, Substratum is just a hassle I dislike. I've used it multiple times and I eventually uninstall it from it being tedious.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Don't know what device you have - But Substratum is simply awesome for my devices - Both Rooted & Stock Unrooted - But here's a suggestion regarding your Nav Bar concerns - Try Navigation Gestures - Fluid Gestures etc & you can hide the Nav Bar entirely - Colour wouldn't be an issue ?
[Android Apps and Games] vonDubenshire:
I have a Note 8 and the Samsung black theme works to cover most issues. I use the Bixby button Remapped to turn immersive on and off, and the best gesture app I've ever used is the new one Samsung released! Surprised me.

I'm all for Substrateum but I do wish apps color matched the nav bar. Most apps do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Thebear j koss:
Blame google and their awful material guidelines that they never bother to follow. Most apps just pull navbar color from framework which is based usually on material light theme or material dark theme.
[Android Apps and Games] XunSuslo:
Sometimes, "Force English" option does not work.

p.s: I know that this is xda app, not xda labs app, but i can't find a thread for xda app (it's avaliable in Play Store)
[Android Apps and Games] adinechin:
As I understood, it is the same app, but Lab is updated first ;)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This is weird, it is the first time someone reports "Force english" option does not work. What do you mean by "does not work"?

XDA app is the Play edition of XDA Labs and it is indeed the same app but with the whole Labs Store portion hidden. So yeah, this thread is the right one for XDA app too. But we recommend to use the full version, aka XDA Labs, you can download it in OP.

Please read HERE for more info :)

Yep
[Android Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
is there a way for open partecipated thread at start of xda forum app?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
No. You have to swipe twice each time you open the app.

It could be possible to add a tasker so that it automatically swipes twice whenever you open the app but I don't think it is worth it
[Android Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
Or maybe add a simple option for open the desired startup page
[Android Apps and Games] albaniax:
Strange I get invalid username/password on login, but with the official app before I could login easily, any idea? (login is 100% correct)

If I choose to login with Google Account instead with a fresh account, it goes to the loading screen with green background and stays there.

Android 8.1 on resurrection remix rom

LG V20

Or does XDA Labs have a separate login to xda-developers.com? (makes no sense)

// Where can I find logs?

/// Nah I can´t login with play store app either (worked yesterday). Must be some server connection issue.

Now that I think of it, today before installing this beta, the store version was showing network error as well while being inside the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Request to [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] :o

Weird. Could you log the event? And try playstore version (I assume that is what you mean as "official") again whether you can login with same credentials. You said you have no issue there
[Android Apps and Games] albaniax:
I think I know why - must be some rate limiting, as I even get recaptcha sometimes (Albanian IP).

Now it works again, so not app related.
[Android Apps and Games] XunSuslo:
I mean that one half of the text is on the system language and another half is on English.

It happens in different parts of the app.

Take a look at the screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Do you use version 1.1.6b?
[Android Apps and Games] XunSuslo:
Yes.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I suggest you to upgrade to the full version of the app (aka XDA Labs), maybe it will work better. I'm not really sure since it's the same app (except the Labs store portion which is hidden in the Play version), but it's worth a try.

For me, the "force english" setting works fine everywhere in the app. I've just tried again with both XDA Labs v1.1.6b - debug version and with the Play edition v1.1.6b and it's OK as well. My native language is french though, not russian.

A question to be sure: Has the screenshot you have provided been taken when the "force english" toggle is set to ON or OFF?
[Android Apps and Games] XunSuslo:
When i took the screenshot "force english" toggle was set to ON.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK so this is weird... My only idea is to test with the full version (xda labs) then. Or maybe your issue is specific to the ROM or Android version you use... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] XunSuslo:
I've tested it for 1 day and i've not seen force english issue in xda labs app. Maybe it's just xda app issue.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks for this interesting feedback. I'm glad it works for you this way.

I don't understand why it doesn't work well with the Play edition (XDA app) though...

Anyway, it's all good for you now.
[Android Apps and Games] eliaspizarro:
nice but can't download attachments
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You can download attachments with XDA Labs, I don't understand how you couldn't.

About pictures, there's a dedicated button on bottom right to download them.

About other file types (e.g. txt files), you have to press the arrow icon on the attachment.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Recently I noticed that reinstalling XDA Labs involves restoring a backup that is quite large and takes quite some time. Then I realised that my installation of Labs stores XDA portal articles dating way back to Jan 2017. Not the images, but ALL of the text.

Couldn't this unnecessary load be shed by keeping only one month's worth of backup or foregoing backing up news articles entirely and just downloading new ones as they come?

The main problem is with install time and not with downloading the backup data, as that is just around 30 MB for me for two years worth of articles.

I don't think this is an issue with the Forum part as that always loads from scratch in a new instance of the app.

hello, xda labs app installed yesterday!

what i dont find/missing is a option to show only apps who can be found only on xda and not in google play, like mixplorer for example.

also, there are no way to order the apps for review vote/number of downloads, or im unable to find the option!

I think you mean you created a new account but left the old one in place:

https://xdaforums.com/member.php?do=getinfo&u=7544901

I assume that xda-labs is auto logging you into the old account.

Send me a PM and tell me the email address for the JavierLerma account.

We can sort this out but you might also need to clear the XDA-Labs app cache on your phone.

Hello [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

I know that it is written in #10-b suggestion list by Wood Man, but is it possible to implement the text formatting stuff on Telegram/Plus Messenger to XDA posts? When you select a text on Telegram/Plus Messenger, it gives you options to format it as bold, italic, mono or add a link (as in screenshot) independent of used keyboard. Is it possible to do this kind of formatting tools on XDA posts instead of using square brackets each time?
[Android Apps and Games] eliaspizarro:
https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=27466#downloads
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yeah you can"t download such files from a devdb download tab using XDA Labs, it's not implemented in the app, so you have to use a web browser to open such links and download those files.

Hi there, find some bug on g925f. It was same before and after root. Capcha pic doesnt appear if u try reg from app. Here...

Can't add screenshot too)) it says bad request. I did something wrong? Permissions are ok :confused:Huh?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
About the bad request error you get while trying to upload screenshot, yeah it's about permissions, members below 10 posts are not allowed to upload attachments or post links, please read here: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post74424549

About your "Capcha pic doesnt appear if u try reg from app." issue, I don't understand, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] xlsaisai:
I mean if you try register new account right from app, recapcha image doesnt appear, so it's not possible to do
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, thanks for the clarification. You're right, I can reproduce the bug. :)

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION], any ideas why we do not have the recapcha image while trying to create an account using XDA Labs? Please see the screenshot attached.

Sorry I can't take logs atm because my phonez haz no root and no computer available to do an adb logcat. If needed I will grab some later when I'll get home.

Thanks!

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION],

I took logs regarding the recaptcha issue while registering a new account using Labs and here below the error : 404 not found error, with this link of the recaptcha image: http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/image?c=SHUTDOWN:

So since this recaptcha link gives 404 not found error, I guess we need another working link to use this function?

I've also attached a zipped full logs in this post: View attachment labs_register.zip

Can you please look into it?

Thanks!

It's only necessary if you want to login with Google. If you don't want to, login with your XDA Forum username and password.
[Android Apps and Games] shinobisoft:
Being asked to login using Google DOESN'T mean unprecedented access to your contacts. It's just another way to log in to XDA. If you're uncomfortable logging in with Google, the log in with your XDA username and password as [MENTION=5124760]yochananmarqos[/MENTION] stated.

This version of xda labs doesn't support downloads resume? I'm having poor network while trying to download the latest kiwi browser but it will stop and start afresh just wasting my mb no matter the percentage. I'm on s9+ latest oreo. Please can any one help?

There's no download resume in the current version of Labs. But blk_jack planned to develop a custom download manager. More info here: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post71414801

Hello guys!

I've been using the XDA forum and the app for a long time. I never had any problems until today.

Since this morning I have trouble to log in via the XDA app. The problem exists only when I'm connected on my Wi-Fi. The app simply logs me off and when I try to log in again, it says that the password or the user name is incorrect. The internet works fine, it opens XDA news, or any other site with no problems. Everything woks fine even if I open the XDA via browser.

When I'm not on my Wi-Fi, but using my mobile data, all is fine and I can log in the app. I haven't tried on some other Wi-Fi.

When I open the XDA forum on my computer, it also works fine, so it's not up to the internet. It must be some app problem.

Does anyone alse have this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This is very weird. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work on WIFI only. But did you:

- try to clear cache of XDA app and then retry?

- try to reinstall the app completely?

- try to use full version XDA Labs app instead? (see download link in OP)
[Android Apps and Games] Masinac85:
Yeah, it's really weird to me too. I tried to reinstall the app, but the issue is still here. I haven't tried to clear cache or the full version of the app. I'll give it a try now, and give you a feedback.

EDIT: I just tried to clear cache, nothing happened. I installed the full version of the app from the OP, but the problem is still there. I can only log in the app using the mobile data. Once I switch to the wifi, I'm automatically logged out.
[Android Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
Any news about this feature?
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
News? I don't recall seeing any indication it was under serious consideration. Best use an automation app for this type of personalization.
[Android Apps and Games] djsolidsnake86:
App For example?

can be considered?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Eleo suggested you at the time you first asked to use a tasker app (maybe the app called "Tasker" or similar app), here: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post77708286
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Personally I would rather not see this type of customization as it is (likely) only of interest to a small community of and opens the door to a wave of 'knob and dial' requests that consume scarce developer resources and does nothing to enhance/stabilize core functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Is it possible that editing signatures will be available in the labs app at some point, I appreciate the work done already and don't want to sound ungrateful but I like to have the software info of my device in my signature and it's a bit annoying going into a browser etc. to change like 3 letters.

[Android Apps and Games] Masinac85:
Just to let you know. Everything worked itself out. I can log in the app normally over my WiFi. I don't know what happened, but the issue sorted itself out. ?
[Android Apps and Games] mine420:
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask for help for the xda labs app. But here it goes my issue is when links like the ones posted on the main entry page where blog posts are the links open to a browser and not in the xda app. It happens in both xda apps. In the phones settings menu the option to open links in app is checked. I have searched the forums and found some older posts of similar issues. I tried clearing cache and typical things. I think the issue is the format of the links is all the same. Here is an example of a link that won't open in app.

https://www.xda-developers.com/4gb-ram-enough-for-smartphone-today/#disqus_thread

How can I edit the app to allow these links to open in app so I do not need to login twice in two apps.

My phone is a Sony xz premium rooted and using carbon rom. Android 8.1.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This is not possible to open article links with XDA Labs, only forum links will open.

This is actually something that has already been suggested to be implemented in the app in the past: https://github.com/Wood-Man/XDA-Labs-Issues-and-Suggestions/issues/57

You can see the already suggested features list in post #6 :)
[Android Apps and Games] mine420:
OK thanks not sure why I couldn't find that in searching must have used the wrong search words. I thought it was a configuration problem on my end since both xda apps do the same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I've searched for "article links" keywords and the 1st result was the post which has been added to the said suggestion on Github. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zionator:
Dude I got same **** happening to me.

I installed this app on my phone then i tried to log in but kept getting the same invalid user or wrong password error so i uninstalled a d reinstalled the app multiple times but still same error then i went back to the old app and now it's doing it there as well. The only way I can login to xda from phone is via web browser.

I got note 9 running ketan's custom rom. This app has ruined something that now causes the play store app to give same error.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.labs.play

Did you find a solution yet ?

I fear a full wipe might fix it but I got to much **** on my phone and not much time to try.

Log the event. It could simply be some kind of adblock script. Without logs, your posts have no meaningful data to comprehend. And as long as it does not happen to everybody, it cannot be fixed on your end.
[Android Apps and Games] mccoffein:
Works like a charm on my Samsung Galaxy S7 :)
[Android Apps and Games] nezebilo:
It's not adblock. The same thing is happening to me and I don't have any such mods on my device. It works if I use VPN though. None of the xda apps work but I can access the website.

Otherwise Labs connecting ok.

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hello Mike,

First off, are you talking about XDA Labs / Forum app and its News tab (showing XDA articles)? Or the XDA Feed app (from another thread by blk_jack)?

Then, I have no such "Unable to resolve host" error in both of those apps. Weird!

Can you please take screenshots and logs if possible? :)
[Android Apps and Games] MikeChannon:
Yes I should be on the other thread, feel free to move it.

Haven't taken a log yet but the screenshot is more or less just as the text I quoted.

[Android Apps and Games] MikeChannon:
Well to answer my own problem:D I tried using a vpn in the US and it worked. Swapped back to no VPN and it's still working. So just gremlins I guess.

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK nice to see you can fix your own issues so quickly Mike. :p

Since it was just gremlins, there's no need to move the posts to the other thread I guess! :good:

I dont think it will consume so much time that simple option

dont know how use tasker
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
- every enhancement has a maintenance component

- sets a bad (imho) precident that consumes scarce development resources

- switching tabs is not hard (single tap)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Also, in addition to what has been said by Davey126, there are plenty of other small things (maybe not time consuming) which have been suggested in the past (see OPs) but they haven't been implemented yet because I think blk_jack do things by priorities and also and mainly if he has time and will for XDA Labs. I think it's just a matter of taking requests by chronological order and / or priority order. :)
[Android Apps and Games] resist:
For whatever reason, I'm not getting notifications from the labs app (though I do get email notifications as normal) . I've tried everything I could think of. I've also done some searching but anything I've found hasn't solved my issue. I wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
