[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] regarding the MSF Jarvis link, I've checked both download manager and package installer, and they both don't have any toggle-able permissions. Selecting "all permissions" from the menu does show sd card modify permission on both.

Curiously enough, an app adjacent to Package Installer called Package Access Helper does have Storage as a toggle-able permission, though activating it hasn't done anything.

Time for logs?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I feared this kind of answer... I'm not surprised since when I tested XDA Labs on Android 6.0.1 (RR), I also didn't find this toggle for DownloadManager app... But in my case everything was working fine regarding apps downloads.. You're not a lucky man I guess :(

But last idea for you:

You previously said you tried to download apps without luck (it stops at xx % etc.), right?

Could you please check if you have apk files with weird names in your internal storage in Android/data/com.xda.labs/files? If it's the case and if those apk are valid, it means downloads worked (DownloadManager) but they just didn't get installed by packageinstaller... In case you don't have apks in that folder, it means Downloads failed.

Just a thought from my knowledges.., but it worths to check :)

Also, maybe bad news for you but I remember an old issue not related to XDA Labs and only concerning some devices/android versions. Some new reading for you:

- HERE

- HERE

- HERE

is it still relevant [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]? I'm getting confused about this today, maybe a memory overflow in my head :D

Yes maybe but I think I won't be the man who will analyse your logs since I'm not a dev :) I sometimes try but I'm not comfortable with this.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Nooooooooooooooooooo. No apks in com.xda files. :crying:

Though now that your linked posts mention specific devices (LG) I should mention I'm on a Xiaomi Mi5 running Resurrection Remix based on 6.0.1.

Anyway, thanks for all the help, [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION]. I appreciate it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks for confirmation... Sorry for you.

You're welcome about my help.

Now I think I'm out of ideas... :(
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
So I'm using adb logcat to document the problem, and I select the app update and the download starts... And then finishes. And the app installs.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Never mind. Try it with the second app. It starts, sputters a little, I become hopeful... but no. It, too, betrays me and finishes. And of course, the app installs.

*pulls hair out*

I swear I feel like the boy who cried wolf, now. I have no more pending updates left. I'll try it again when one comes up.

Meanwhile, there is a txt file containing 10k lines sitting on my desktop that is incomprehensible to me.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You seem to be in the same case than [MENTION=6443279]BRoy_98[/MENTION] at that time. Magically fixed?

Then, I guess it's a temporary server side issue? I really don't know but the good news is you're obviously not concerned by this Android bug if it works now :)
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I really do HOPE it was a temporary issue server side. Otherwise... well, technology and superstition don't go well together, but I might be tempted to just keep reporting problems to XDA this way and see them get magically resolved. :p
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It seems your logs in your 2 latest posts don't show enough info... Don't know...

But to answer your question about attachments, no you're NOT limited to 1 attachment, something is wrong with your phone or app/way you're using to pick/upload files or maybe with the size of one of your your files which is too big (there is a limitation per file type like on XDA website, check my first screenshot).

Also, which app/way do you use to pick/upload files within XDA Labs? I already saw that some apps don't let us upload files correctly within Labs (for instance I can attach files using Total Commander but I can't using Root Explorer).

You can see in my second screenshot that I can upload more than 1 file including zip and png files.

In addition, you can read those posts:

[Android Apps and Games] angle409:
Can you add next page and previous page buttons in the top navi bar?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
No need to add those buttons since you can swipe left and right to change page. :)
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
That error before shouldn't happen again. In fact, that issue prevented the download from even starting so if it starts, times out, etc, that's just the issue of connectivity.

So it just sounds like a connectivity problem. Like I've mentioned before, Labs just uses Android's native DownloadManager, which takes care of *everything*. However, it doesn't auto-retry or anything like that, you have to restart the download manually. I could add in listeners to check if it times out and have a notification or whatever to let you restart the download, but a bad connection is gonna be a bad connection. We're just spoiled by Google Play I guess since it handles all that stuff natively without using DownloadManager.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I don't remember when this was fixed. Did you workaround the Android bug? How did you get rid if it? I'm just curious.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I wanna delete this post. How do I do that?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You can't yourself, only moderators can do it.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] so I guess the common action is to just edit the post and write (deleted) or something similar?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, that's it!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I did work around it. If the user has SSL certificate issues on downloads it'll fall back to regular web. Since we're just downloading APKs I'm okay with it affecting such a small percentage of users with regular http as a fallback for them.
[Android Apps and Games] klark1kent:
Am I missing it or is there no sort by date feature...this is the main thing driving me to mobile browser instead... Could be used error
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
sort what by date? Threads, Apps, News?
[Android Apps and Games] klark1kent:
If I use Xda labs (or free) instead of the reg mobile site and I go to a subscribed forum. Lets say T-Mobile LG v10 General.... All of the threads appear to have no order as far as date. If I use web or another app... I can see most recent threads

Edit. Nevermind. I realize now that labs displays the original post date versus the reply date. I think ....that's why the dates appear to be Random
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
I got nothing. Grab the debug version at the beginning of the thread and post the logs it creates so the dev can look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] cyrusct82:
Great app.

But I have one request.

Can we have an option to subscribe an entire device like for example Htc one entire forum not per categories (development/general/q-a/etc.....)
[Android Apps and Games] Deathtsukuyomi:
The app is amazing, it's very fluid on my OPO. So far i haven't experienced any major problems just some lag when for example I was scrolling through some images... :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] hokiealumnus:
This app is excellent. Thank you devs for making it happen! Tapatalk has been going downhill and becoming more and more frustrating as time went on. It's great to have this to turn to. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Remotiv:
Maybe its a stupid question. Im using LGG3 D855 and the newest debug version. Download is still not working. Where can I find the log File to post?
[Android Apps and Games] JoeBear1975:
Awesome, thx y'all
[Android Apps and Games] ShrekOpher:
Got a question: is there a "mark all as read" option?

Its a really handy features for when you follow device specific forums.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] corphish:
Great app!

Already released both of my apps here.

Although the app is alpha its working great.

Anyway here are my suggestion to improve the app and overall experience :

Download count for apps in their respective pages. Also it would be great if. in the developer control panel, we could see download count for each apps separately.

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] mrolle:
Great app, but i think that some bugs are present, so how much time do you think that you will need to update?
[Android Apps and Games] :
It's an Alpha. There may be a bug or 2. ;)

And we don't ask for ETA's on xda. It's just plain rude. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Remotiv:
Can you pls answer my question? I like to upload a log file.

[Android Apps and Games] NotATreoFan:
This only works if rooted. He may not be, and his question revolves around the built-in feature to create debugging logs.
[Android Apps and Games] zowpow:
I guess this isn't completely relevant to the app, but is there API documentation?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hi,

The built-in feature to create debugging logs ? Sorry but I don't know it and I don't find anything about this in this thread. Could you please guide us ?

In post #2, blk_jack talks about using logcat method.

Also, in post #3 he wrote that only difference of debug version vs normal one is that it logs more verbosely.

So, am I missing something ?

I wanted to help with what I know possible to do...
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Some facts:

Android has a system log.

You can access this log using the logcat command in a terminal session or via ADB.

If you have no experience with this or with running shell commands, then you can use this app from the Play Store to view and save logcat output: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat.

So, install the debug version of XDA Labs, reproduce your problem, use the catlog app to save the logcat. Zip the output (if it isn't already zipped) as the output can be quite large, and post a reply with the zip file attached.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks but I know all this. It's exactly what I've answered to [MENTION=6164240]Remotiv[/MENTION] user.

This is one of my post I asked him to read : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=63799967

My question was not about catlog if you read carefully my previous post :)
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
:)

So can you clarify what it is that you're asking?

I've not used the debug version of the app but I'm guessing that it produces more verbose log information.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, debug version logs more verbosely, this is also what I've previously wrote mate.

NotATreoFan wrote there is a built-in log feature in xda labs app. AFAIK it doesn't exist because xda labs doesn't produce output log fikes itself, we need adb or catlog to grab logs. This so-called built-in logs feature is what I wanted to clarify.

Am I clear ?
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Thanks, that does clear things up. I can't help, though, as I've not used the debug version of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] e_M_c_E:
Hi all.

I have a question..

Where are the downloaded apk's stored?

I mean the updates of the programs or modules downloaded trough the xda-labs app?

I am asking because I have problems with the apps updating trough the labs. When I tap on the update button nothing happened, but when I tap on the download one, the app is downloading (I see that in the status bar) but after that app won't update. And I don't know where those downloads are stored?

I already tried data and cache cleaning, xda-labs reinstalling etc. but sadly, nothing helps.

My phone: LG G3 D855 with Fulmics 5.3 rom,

Xda-labs v.1.0.6.1b

Thnx in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Internal storage/Android/data/com.xda.labs
[Android Apps and Games] e_M_c_E:
Thnx! This works for me :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, now we know downloads work for you, but if you follow this linked below, does apps installation work through XDA Labs?

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post66163577
[Android Apps and Games] e_M_c_E:
Permissions are set up ok, I've tried that already.

Seems that the bug appears in the latest xda-labs version. In the "1.0.5" updating worked ok.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I'm not sure you're facing an XDA Labs bug.

Did you grant root access to XDA Labs (when you go in Xposed tab)? If you didn't, did you at least enable unknown sources?

Related post HERE.
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
BTW it's about time that we should be able to save on external SD... has been mentioned a long time ago, but not on the road map.
[Android Apps and Games] e_M_c_E:
Yes, the phone is rooted, xda-labs has root access granted, unknown sources are enabled.

BTW.. I have read entire topic.

BTW2.. When I downgraded xda-labs to the previous version, apps updating works again. Only in the latest version won't. Tried both install methods - dirty upgrade and clean installation. The results are identical. In 1.0.5 apps upgrading works, in 1.0.6 don't.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks, good to know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Whenever this feature comes out, I believe and hope that it'll be toggleable since many would either have no SDCARD or would prefer their internal storage to the measly, for ****'s sake, slow SDcards
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
BTW, if you have read the entire topic, you probably know that providing logs is very welcome to help blk_jack mainly when iit's not a reproductible issue by the dev.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] harsh.:
Hey hey hey

I don't have internal storage

So all apk downloaded by XDA labs are stored in SD card only:D:p
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
We're talking about a configurable option to force it to sdcard for people whose phones do have internal storage.
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I'm just wondering what the difference is between the XDA Labs app and the new XDA app in the Play Store?

The 3 sample images for the XDA app in the Play Store looks exactly like the XDA Labs forum.

Any plans to add a next and previous page button to the forum navigation buttons? When I'm reading through a thread it's a bit cumbersome to have to hit the page drop-down and type in the next page number after every page. The older premium app had them and it worked wonderfully. Next and previous page buttons alongside the first and last page buttons would be a huge timesaver. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:

[Android Apps and Games] westhaking:

After first installation of XDA Labs, did you see the tip at the bottom of the screen? Check my screenshot attached.
[Android Apps and Games] stephendt0:
I'm finding that most of the time when I try to click on a link from Google for example, that links to an XDA thread, labs will attempt to open it but it will fail and come up with a toast that says "error parsing URL". Any ideas why this may be occurring?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Maybe some of the links you try to open:

- are not forums (could be DevDB links). It's not a bug. Related post HERE.

- are automatic threads generated by QA bot. This one is an issue (backend related). Related post HERE >>> Fixed on september 2nd 2016, was a backend issue.

- are threads with zero reply (credits [MENTION=6552280]MSF Jarvis[/MENTION], related post HERE). I guess also a backend issue as said by blk_jack.

- maybe more reasons...

[Android Apps and Games] Auraxion:

How to remove unwanted threads from participated section?
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
Neither are possible.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
Can I expect in future?
[Android Apps and Games] nathanchance:
The first one is possible from the app itself but [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] may choose not to implement it; the second one is not even possible on the main XDA site, meaning it would need a backend change so it's less likely to happen but still could.
[Android Apps and Games] Auraxion:
Can you add a follow up or notifications to user in case the download stops when the user has unstable wifi?
[Android Apps and Games] akahed022:

[Android Apps and Games] iluvatrix:
using Labs on Nexus 6 stock unrooted rom. i have shut off all Notifications within Labs app but there is still a running service called PushService. what's the deal with that? have tried killing / stopping it via Running Services but it comes back after awhile
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
XDA labs uses PushService even with notification OFF. It's normal: apps and forums updates are displayed in the app even with notifications OFF (shown in Navdrawer). If you disable notifications, it will only not be shown in status bar.

In addition, here is a quote from a previous post by blk_jack about PushService. It's not recommended to disable it:

"This isn't a good idea and I would never recommend it. PushService handles a lot of things including downloads. If you disable this service the app may crash or at the very least prevent you from downloading any updates, apps, mods, etc."
[Android Apps and Games] Auraxion:
you know, google could help. However I think the PushService is used to send notifications for other apps. Its a general service.
[Android Apps and Games] iluvatrix:
ok, understood after reading the earlier reply
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
Any news on an update guys? It's been over two months since the last one...
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
No, not even I am expecting
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
There is no need to ask for ETA, next build will come when ready. blk_jack never leaves us without any news.

2 months without update doesn't mean 2 months without work.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
If an app is not getting updates then it can only be one of three reasons

1: "Don't fix what's not broken"

2: "I'm planning the biggest release till date"

3: "I'm bored of this project"

I'm ruling out 3, and 1 may be partly true, since there aren't any bugs yet that hamper my usage of the app greatly.

And with blk_jack, who knows, 2 might just be 100% the case :D
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
That's true he doesn't, I was just wondering about the development because it seemed a little weird he hasn't pushed an update in awhile, ah well the longer we wait the more stable it'll be when the next version drops, i've been having some xposed issues with xda labs (already posted about it though - unable to open xposed modules through labs and labs sometimes showing modules disabled even though it's enabled), for the meantime i'm using a separate xposed installer just to handle modules so there's no real rush and i was just finding out.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I also think we can rule out #3, otherwise my recent great and unique XDA Labs title is useless! :D :laugh:

But number 2 sounds good. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Zeyn Karim:
Hahaha i'm hoping it's number two, "since there aren't any bugs yet that hamper my usage of the app greatly." as for that i do have a problem with xposed but i'm using a seperate installer to handle modules (read my post above to Floodw) other than that everything's great.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It's not "a little weird", no worries man.

We all know there are some issues to fix and features to implement. The purpose of my post was just to say that asking for news is quite useless since blk_jack will inform us (he always does) when needed or when ready. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
There's constant updates in the back end.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
About this ^^^

It's weird you have this bug because it's supposed to be fixed since v1.0.5b. The fix is called "[fix] Falsely disabled Xposed modules". I was the guy who reported it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66448088&postcount=2724

blk_jack told me to send him the file called modules.list from the folder /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf

I think he fixed the bug after he saw modules.list content + the logs I've sent him before. After blk_jack did something, I confirmed at that time the bug was fixed regarding YouTube AdAway xposed module.

Maybe an additionnal fix is needed, dunno...

Whatever happens, you need to post which module(s) is/are concerned and some logs if not done yet. :)
