I'm unable to download applications with this application. When I click the download icon the spinner just keeps on spinning. I decided to capture the network trafic and the server seems to give a 500 error.

XDA doesn't allow me to send link to image of the error, but here is a broken one:

I also keep on getting 408 errors:

More useful would be debug logs, but there are others with similar errors a few posts up, read some of the replies to them
[Android Apps and Games] laasonen:
Thought that it was backend problem, because of the 500 error. Properly functioning backend should never return 500 regardless of the request. I don't have access to ADB right now.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
What was your login procedure? Did you log in with regular login/password of XDA account? Or did you use the G+ button?

If you used the G+ button, please follow this and report later:

1- Uninstall XDA Labs

2 Install again XDA Labs 1.0.8b (debug version if you're OK)

3. Log in with regular login/password of XDA account

4- Test again the app: downloads, connectivity, etc.

---

5- If no luck until step 4, uninstall again XDA Labs

6- Install a previous version (1.0.7.1b or 1.0.6b)

7- Log in using regular login/password of XDA account)

8- Test again the app: downloads, connectivity, etc.

I ask this because [MENTION=5006695]antanisv[/MENTION] had connectivity issues (which could explain apps download issue too) and reinstalling the app solved the problem for him (HERE). I don't know what was his login procedure though... (maybe [MENTION=5006695]antanisv[/MENTION] could tell us?)
[Android Apps and Games] antanisv:
My log in procedure is log in using regular ID and password only, nothing specific.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Hello guys it's me again :p

Can you guys try logging-in using a VPN? (there are many app available on play store).

Maybe your ISP hates XDA in general :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] superGOAT:
This is clearly a backend issue. Which I have already stated. They just don't like hearing it.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This is actually just the way Android does Landscape mode full-screen keyboard. To my knowledge you can't change the colors. That said, the post/reply/edit (!) pages will all be fullscreen in the near future and will make typing a lot easier and clearer there.

This is somewhat short-listed on the to-do list

^ This. Another thing on our to-do list is a per-app selection to suppress both updates showing AND/OR notifications. This should solve the issue people are having IRT wanting to stick w/ Play Store versions of their apps.

Please email the GroovyAPKs email with any issues that relate to version/device mismatches of these apps. Right now we don't have super robust version targeting built into Labs, so it's kind of a one-size fits all and it seems like the maintainer of that accidentally uploaded the wrong version.

XDA Labs is actually easily theme-able (both with CM12/13 and Layers) and has a built in light/dark theme selection.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Version 0.60a is out! Download link in the OP devDB tab, or update in-app.

If you're thinking "Hey where the shiny new features at?!" you're not alone. They're coming, don't worry! We just had to make things a bit faster and a bit more stable. Hopefully with this release you'll be able to notice those changes.

Going forward at this point it's going to be about adding new things for you guys. Fullscreen post/reply is almost ready (we're in final stages of testing) as well as Edit post, a much needed feature.

After that we're going down our list of features and additions based on what's been suggested here, as well as what we've internally brain stormed!

Even though we're still in alpha, we're very close to beta and an official "hard" launch. Thanks to everyone who has helped test and answer questions in the thread on our behalf (especially [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] !)
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Could you elaborate on what that does? I'm being slow today... :(

As an aside, there is a noticeable amount of time when switching to a forum/topic and the read position is located. Not sure what Tapatalk was doing differently but they were very quick when doing this. Is there any prefetching being done or planned?

Yippie! And XDA signatures! My kingdom for a visible signature! :D :D
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Previously, say 2 apps had updates and pushed out notifications to you, the newest notification would over-write the old one and only show the newest. Now, it'll show you both notifications. This is a precursor to future features like disabling notifications per-app and grouped notifications (for multiple apps, similar to Play).

I'll have to ask the guys since I'm not familiar with how Tapatalk's API works. Labs uses a completely new non-vBulletin based API (originally created for XDA One) that's much more efficient. That said, it's not finished or perfect to any degree and even since the last version of Labs has been modified/improved.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben36:
Can we tell unread forums and mark forums as read yet? so I can re download and finally bin off Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I believe both will require an API change (in addition to the added functionality in the app), so no.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben36:
Aww man... I hate using Tapatalk. Lol. Are they part of the overall plan tho?
[Android Apps and Games] barisatay:
in login panel Google+ icon please change. Need new Google+ icon :)
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I have had a 'dislike' for Tapatalk for a long time now. I just as soon swipe to the end of a thread on the xda Labs app for now. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] maybeme2:
Got the new update. Looks good but disappointed that it didn't contain

A. Mark forum as read

B. Notification for subscribed threads

I guess they're giving the developers trouble in implementing.

That's what keeping me from moving entirely over to the app. ????

Something is wrong with the display of quotes. Perhaps it was that way before not sure but now I cannot distinguish between a quote and the reply while on the xda app. Take a look at this post in a browser and on the xda app to see what I mean. I'm reading in the black mode.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64334908&postcount=494
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
I am seeing quotes fine. But can't click your link from the app.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Yed, many quotes are looking fine. There is something about that particular post that seems to throw the app off.
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Seriously? That is a basic feature I (and I'm sure many others) require on any forum app.
[Android Apps and Games] chefbaker11:
Then DL a different forum app. Its in alpha still and things may change. Be patient. Not condescending.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
What do you mean "seriously"? The API was crafted custom for a relatively small scale app (XDA One) that never left alpha with a large, growing set of requirements. Considering the app didn't even have edit, which is a much higher priority requirement, I don't see how you could think that having a read/unread flag on an entire set of sub-forums per-user would be of higher priority.

Again, let me make clear, the ENTIRE forum API was created from scratch specifically for/by XDA and while most of the vBulletin API's features are finished, there are some that aren't.

That being said, we're literally working on adding it to the API today with plans on rolling it out very soon, but you have to understand that this project is very large in scope. There are a lot of things on our roadmap and while we're very much listening to user feedback, we're also prioritizing based on our available resources.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It exists because there's also a (surprisingly?) large set of users who use sites like APKMirror to get the latest/bleeding edge/not-available-in-my-country versions of these apps. What apps under the GroovyAPKs user provide are an easier way for users to download+update and be notified when they do change.

We're definitely interested in promoting XDA apps over other, play store apps. This will be reflected in the future and we're already working on features to filter out app/updates you don't want (like say from GroovyAPKs).

I'm also a big fan of Team Blackout and have been using their apps on and off for yeaaaars now. Anyway, we haven't made a huge push to reach out to developers YET but it's part of the plan once we go beta. :D:good:

That said I would like to give a big shout out to the app devs who are using Labs and especially the ones really pushing their updates out on it. [MENTION=2799345]M66B[/MENTION] is a beast and uses it a ton (for good ol' Netguard!). Any feedback we get from the devs alpha testing right now goes a long way and we do try to make changes based on their suggestions with a lot of features planned in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] ElfinJNoty:
I appreciate the reply and glad the feedback is being paid close attention and taken into consideration. Glad to see the progress and really excited that an official XDA app is on its way to getting a modern update with attention to the features the XDA community desires.

Yes TBO is awesome. [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5476501]Train88[/MENTION] and the rest of the gang are relentless in their efforts to kill Google's white UI #whiteuimustdie ;)

Looking forward to where this project is going. While I'm not familiar with all of those involved, I've already got a great feeling of what's to come :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] chefbaker11:
I get this from time to time...basically I click a link and I get this....sometimes
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Thanks for the reply, I didn't mean to be abrupt. I did not realise this app couldn't use the same method every other forum app uses to provide this function. I understand the development that goes into an API is vast.
[Android Apps and Games] reganEZ:
Umm

I cant download the app apk from this site. It keeps giving me error 410.

I have it installed in my nexus 7 but I cant update it to the latest version fro there either.

Any other ways to get this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] superGOAT:
The first thing I did was try and login over my cell network. Still didn't work. This is a server issue. Who ever maintains labs backend needs to troubleshoot it.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I'm just wondering why everyone is not concerned by this issue if it's backend related... I don't have such problem. :confused:

Btw, who is "they" exactly in your sentence?
[Android Apps and Games] superGOAT:
"They" meaning whoever is maintaining said backend. I'd love to use this app to update apks and modules but I can't and it's frustrating.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Exactly... We haven't done anything special for what XDA might love us more.

(well you definitely have contributed a lot be loved by Labs :p )

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

Patience :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Maybe "they" (backend guy(s)) are busy or on vacation or trying to fix something or whatever, I think they actually want and prefer hearing it, feedback are always welcome.

As said by [MENTION=7297761]SalarX[/MENTION], please have patience :)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
"They" are Randy Westergren and Dave Drager. Looks like everyone's on vacation at the same time. Or we haven't been able to get the backend people to hear us, because it's definitely an issue on their end.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I have no problem from a web browser, both PC and phone. From HERE.

Check my screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes I know, I was just asking it to superGOAT because it sounded not so polite and correct to say "They just don't like hearing it"... :eek:

---------- Post added at 10:54 ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 ----------

Yeah, we (at least MSF Jarvis, you SalarX and me) maybe have a special super XDA account with everything working good regarding connectivity and downloads! :p :D :laugh:

The more we contribute, the more we have working features! :p

---------- Post added at 11:02 ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 ----------

BTW, FYI I will be on vacation too very soon (August). Going to spend my summer holidays in Canada (Quebec)! It seems I want to be as near as blk_jack as possible! :p

Will be a long trip for me.

So I will be very busy with my personal life and won't be able to help here as usual. I'll need some substitutes! :D
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:

Well I've already said on the IRC channel me and FLooDW are holding fort while the red wizard is off enjoying the happiness of the awesome he cooked up for 1.0.8 :p I'm here for anyone who needs me
[Android Apps and Games] harsh.:
:p sorry. But I also have working everything good with even a slow connectivity :p 2mbps connection.

even with ZERO contribution :eek: -_-
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I am SO JYELUS of you. :/ My 2 Mbps connection doesn't let me download one measly app update in peace. Death to BSNL. -_-

[MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] The app download problem does seem to be related to speed, at least for me. My home connection regularly drops downloads. Today I updated an app with university Wi-Fi (SuperFast TM). Smooth as all hell.

Oh, and this problem just DOESN'T want to be logged by me. When I download normally, the connection drops. When adb logcat is running, it somehow always works. Even. If. It. Downloads. At. 10. KBps. -_____-
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Well I guess you can partially download the apps. (the downloads probably stop at, for example x%?)
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Try using a download accelerator.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Well not exactly speed... But stability, yes.

XDA servers probably don't support resuming downloads. That is why the moment you lose connection (even for a second), the download is cancelled.

No so long ago, the downloads would resume, but now they don't seem to...

It's some problem with XDA in general... Downloads expire pretty quick...
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
[MENTION=7297761]SalarX[/MENTION] Ah, yes. India will get stable Internet by 2050, probably.

... (starts twiddling thumbs)
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Well I wished we could do this... But Labs hand over the incoming downloads to Android Download Manager... And there seems no way to capture the link...
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Actually, there are different problems regarding downloads:

- some guys like you has downloads stopped at xx% (maybe network stabiliy related or other reasons). Everything else is working as intended for them.

- some guys aren't even able to start a download and also have maybe connectivity error messages. Some reasons are already known and are device setup related (use in-thread search function) and some other reasons are unknown yet (just read 10 previous pages and you'll understand there's currently maybe backend issues).
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Do you use Xposed Framework?

There's a module which causes downloads in the Android Download Manager to be diverted over to ADM.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Well haven't used it in a while... Is there a module?

Ohk Ohk

Thanks... Will try.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Good point about manipulating quotes. Not sure how it could be managed mechanically.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
It can't be, XDA just throws in text and a post ID in the quote, nothing can be done to that. That requires a possibly huge rework of the entire forum software, which risks downtime for the boards. Not gonna happen soon.
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Thank you very much! This solves one of the biggest problems of my life :)
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Are you certain you are allowed a vacation?

Anyway, be very careful on your holiday - people in Quebec do not speak French - according to my French friends the Canucks speak Quebecois (proper accents omitted) which you may find challenging.. ;)

Enjoy your holiday!
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
That's what I thought. If it where easy we would see that being done elsewhere.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Automated quotes which cannot be modified would also disable the ability to remove unneeded text from the quote (can we say OP?) without serious rethinking of the process.

Or, we could just add a link to the original which could not be altered..

Perhaps, as you suggested, we should leave well enough alone..
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
If someone alters a quote the OP is going to bust them in a heartbeat. Altering quoted text is very helpful, universal across all the boards i hang at and I have never seen it abused. This is a non issue.
[Android Apps and Games] :
I cannot resist, apologies for my bad meme. :D
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
No worries ;)

P.S. altered quote looks decent :D
[Android Apps and Games] :
Then there's the altered altered quote. ;)

Hello! I have some questions regarding the app, I'm.having issues uploading pictures, it gives me a "connection error" message. Also as well, I'm incapable of making post majority of the time, I'm surprised I'm even able to post this post. It gives me a failed post notification when it doesn't go through, please help, & thank you
[Android Apps and Games] SalarX:
Maybe cuz you're a new member and this some limitations? Does same happen on XDA website?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
About uploading pictures I recommand to use the gallery app. Other apps should work but I'm not sure.

Also, you should try this:

1- Be sure storage perm is set for XDA labs,

2- Then force close the app and restart it.

3- Retry picture uploads to see how it goes.
[Android Apps and Games] plutonik:
Broooo!!!!!!! Thank you I love you it's working, you da best!!!

So you're saying that Darth is a ninja who lives in the Wind Village, just kidding, in any case you would have to have played DragonFable in the past to understand my joke.
[Android Apps and Games] kruc Ire:
haha yeah, maybe not with his ex wife... but Vader is actually a really popular dude. for instance did you know Vader was actually against the evil empire... they had this whole pr thing going on. they owned the cameramen, the anchor women and all the networks and satellites.... no, I dont suppose you knew about that.

haha yes! guess you could say if anyone ever needed spoofing apps it was ol vader.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Actually, I know a little (barely anything) about Star Wars, so I know that Dart Vader is Anakin Skywalker (perhaps I had mispelled his name), father of Luke Skywalker, and former slave which was freed by a bet of a Jedi (I don't remember his name) that Anakin would win a race.

This pretty much sums up nearly everything of what I know of Star Wars.
[Android Apps and Games] kruc Ire:
A bet, you say...huh. interesting. I knew little of the mans upbringing. Did you know the death star is a myth?

"A myth? Ya dont say..."

A myth invented by his ex wife...the mistress of evil and keeper of light.

Hm, i can not download anything. The Download button starts wiggling but that is all. Sometimes i get the message "failing loading data" or something similar in the text Box. In Main menu it says "network connection problem".

Any suggestions? I tried WiFi and Data connection.

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It's a known issue for some users only at the moment. It seems to be backend related (not the app itself). blk_jack (the OP) is busy and MSF Jarvis asked one of the backend guys (bitpushr) to check what's happening but we don't have any info yet. He's maybe busy too.

Sorry about this.

For more info and to understand better, you should use the in-thread search with "download" and "connectivity" keywords.

Thanks :)

Nice to see you here mate! I went here to check if anybody else also has bug that they can't download any apps or xposed modules but I see I'm not alone here ;) about app updating itself, it works for me, but it's not ideal(sometimes it downloads slowly and after updating app is laggy or even doesn't want to open itself(clearing cache worked) but I really like this app, it's much better than million times FCing Tapatalk :D
