I have a related question: My screenshots are saved in .png format and it seems to be impossible to load them up to labs, I have to change the ending to .jpg in a file explorer. Would be nice if both formats were supported.

Sorry if this question has been answered before, I searched the thread but didn't find any answer, only issues with uploading both formats.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I have no issue with uploading png images, here is one png file attached.

Maybe your issue is more max size related? Size limit should be the same as on the xda website. Please check the size limit per file type in this post here: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post75943095
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
You may be right, the png files are more than 500kb.

What makes me wonder is that the attached screenshot (changed the ending to .jpg) has a size of about 380kb which should be to big too (limit for png and jpg is 256 kB following XDA size limit).

Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Sorry, wrong screenshot. This is the one with the file ending changed to .jpg.

Edit: The error message is kind of strange too:

" This JPEG image has the wrong file extension" regarding the fact that it's a PNG.
[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
I'm wondering if that's just an error message issue, in other words, no matter the image type, it says JPEG. If so, it would be better to pull the extension from the name as a variable and input that into the error message.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yup, the JPEG text seems to be hard coded and it would be better to set a variable for the extension indeed. Also blk_jack would need to add this error message (with the said suggested variable) on Crowdin since I can't find it in the strings to translate.

Getting bad request trying to upload pics any ideas
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
and a walk-though of how it was reproduced when capturing the log might provide clues.

All i did was try to upload screen shot do u really need a walk through after in didn't word I changed .PNG .jpg and sized it smaller got same result everytime

No issues uploading .png snip on XT1768. Stock 7.1.1; XDA Labs 1.1.6b.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I believe the main reason of that post was to ask logs, shown as the gif in attachment (a word play; log(s) can mean the outcome of software events (the real usage in XDA), the logarithm in mathematics, and the part of chopped down tree (as the attachment)).

You should provide:

- Your device info (as in brand, android version, custom/stock ROM)

- App version you use (I believe latest is 1.1.6b)

- Which service you used to upload image (Standard DocumentsUI, Stock File Explorer, MiXplorer and etc)

- Logs for failure to upload (you need to have debug version of app for verbose logging and take logcat from the procedure or use the matlog procedure I shared previously)
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Regarding to my previous post I recognised that if the limit for png files (256kb) is approximately reached the upload fails as expected but for jpg Images (same limit) it's possible to upload files over 500kb. Attached a 574kb example jpg, uploaded using F-Stop gallery app.

Edit: Ok,there is some kind of resizing happening, if I download the same screenshot it has only 169kb.
[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
I've learned this the hard way on my time at XDA after being told (off) by devs for not providing them. The reason logs are helpful is because they typically show the exact error message. Sometimes things aren't reproducible, sometimes they are temporary glitches, sometimes it's something on your specific device. The log points them in the right direction; otherwise, it can be a wild goose chase, especially if they can't reproduce the issue. It's also especially helpful to give step by step what you did that causes the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It also creates a papertrail. If I'm given a log I can save that log and add it to my todo list to look through. Where as some post # I would have to bookmark and often I forget those.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
A part of this "to do" list is somehow made by wood man in posts 6 and 7 :p
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
It was just a reminder to include some basic things that are typically expected with problem reports. To [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION]'s point I was primarily referring to a log, but also, although attaching images is a basic task there may be variations in the way it could be done.

It is a general expectation that logs and descriptions be included with bug reports and those things are so frequently forgotten that the reminders to include them may be humorous (at least an attempt at humor) and brief as mine was. Please don't take that as insult or as some deeper criticism. It's better to have a brief report that gets filled in later than none at all so, thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] skullkid383:
That is fine if it made log of it but it didn't that's y just posted that and others with moto e4 have no problems doing it personally I think it has something to do with having my old account being merged to this new one but they sent me here in moderator thread
[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
Maybe a device specific issue then?

[MENTION=278202]the_scotsman[/MENTION] Have you heard of someone getting a bad request when trying to upload pictures because they had a username change or something? Maybe a permissions issue?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
A random link in case it could help:

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post75340103

And attached, a screenshot of OP #2 about the username change matter.

Maybe users who have their username changed face file upload failure within Labs?

Or maybe it depends on which storage is used to upload files? Internal SD or external SD?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
This is 1 of 2 possible factors I'm curious about, not necessarily because it seems to be a likely suspect but because it is one of the few possible variables in that work-flow and should be easy to test, and eliminate or confirm as a factor. The other hypothetical factor was the use of an alternate file picker but I don’t know if that is even possible in this case, and so dismissed that as a possibility.

Hello, labsters!

I think I figured out why my 'Watch list' within the 'App' section is not available for this account.

Already discussed here: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post73855344

My best guess is that login cookies/tokens (or whatever is used on forum engine) are somehow messed up and here is why.

I used to login with different browsers/this app manually or via G+ account. Meanwhile, I deleted initial Google account but continued to use

the same credentials for manual login. When I first encountered the problem and asked for help, developer and others willing to help couldn't reproduce an error. I moved on and started to use web version of this app for occasional peak at the 'Watch list'.

What got me thinking about session cookies/tokens is latest installation of this app, this time on Android-x86 for PC. I decided to register a new account for a 'desktop version' and realized that I could do this with my phone, too. Clever, right? :D

Yes, it worked, but guess what? This account is still messed up, no matter what app version or device I use.

Hopefully, mods could solve this with a few clicks. Just don't wipe my list of 50+ subscribed threads, please! :angel:

Finally, I think it's not just me and my account that counts. It's important for other users who would use different login options.

Cheers!

Hey guys :)

I have a suggestion for future releases.

I think whatever content is inside

sections should have emoji disabled/removed.

I had to open a browser window to copy a command because of that and I thought to post about the issue here.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Eleo, your second embedded link about the list of all API limitations is wrong, the correct link is https://github.com/Wood-Man/XDA-Labs-Issues-and-Suggestions/labels/API limitation

The rest is fine :good:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I actually asked for feedback about this new way to list issues and feature requests on GH, but besides you (today), MrWasdennnoch and Davey126 (they were OK) , no one did any feedback, so I left it as it. If you know a better/professional way to do it, feel free to suggest something. Or if you think the old way is better, please just leave a post to say it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Of course I was ok with old way. You still could have the github for people who would like to contribute (though I dont think it will be possible without app getting open source... which I dont see it in anytime future). So I suppose github page might be not used in near time. And right now github is 2-3 pages per issue type (api limitation, backend and etc) and hard to browse or search in page (because cannot view all of them on one page). Maybe it is easier on a faster PC/laptop... but not for me.

And I know it is OT, but:

Today I opened XDA forum page on laptop and it showed a grey empty screen. Tried many times different pages until I realized that it was because of adblock plus. I tried to only disable "ads that have trackers", but it dodnt solve. Then I allowed ads with trackers and chose to allow only "acceptable ads". But this didnt solve it either. I had to allow all ads that have tracker and even non-acceptable ads so that webpage could open... and webpage got super slow and super unresponsive. Even some ads were more fluent than scrolling or typing on same page. I couldnt find anythimg related or announced recently about this. I remember I used XDA forums page with adblock plus at least 2-3 days ago. So is it how it will work now? Either ad-free payment or super slow?

:(

Could there be anything done for people who want to share stuff rather than take and leave? Because with such webpage it will be too hard to use forums on PC. I will need to upload my files to phone and use it to access forums.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, if there are other complaints in future about the new GH way, I may bring back the old way. I just need more feedback.

Yeah it's OT indeed, no one (including me) can help about this in this thread, if you continue to face this issue in the next days, I'm pretty sure you know where to post :)
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Hum - generalising from a single data point? Here is another: no issues with a different ad block solution on multiple devices. Me thinks your laptop needs a reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
This problem seems to have something to do with substratum. When I have Swift Black theme enabled (but not for the XDA app), I seem to have more difficulty uploading photos to a thread. When I disable all layers, I can usually upload photos and screenshots without an issue. However, I am not 100% positive this is cause/solution. Still investigating...
[Android Apps and Games] Ashraf Iraqian:
i am fixed it already!

And i am not using substratum Theme engine because my ROM doesn't have OMS.

[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
You know that substratum can work on devices that aren't running Roms with OMS right ??

Sent from my SM-G955W ??
[Android Apps and Games] grossdm:
I think this should be a high purity priority item to add to XDA Labs.

As you know, other client apps that give access to apps/repositories filter (sometimes optionally) based on the device that is running the app.

That said, if I want to download an app from some website the system requirements are clearly listed.

The FDA Labs app not only doesn't filter the apps displayed, it doesn't even list the system requirements.

This forces a user to do the filtering task for the app!

Doug®
[Android Apps and Games] Ashraf Iraqian:
of course , and i think you meant the "Legacy mode"? if yes , many substratum themes dose not support it.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I didn't specify Legacy because Substratum also works for Stock Unrooted Samsung S7 / S8/S8+ / Note8 & S9/S9+ using SungStratum or Andromeda ??

Apologies for the OT.

[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I haven't looked into the back end of this at all so I could be entirely wrong, but I suspect you're logging into two separate accounts.

What sometimes happens with Labs is people go to login via Google and end up using a different email than they had already on xda. As a result it creates a new account with a new alias and email address.

If this isn't the case I can look into it further but it's so common I thought I'd mention it first.
[Android Apps and Games] elocnix:
Thanks for chiming in, blk_jack.

No, it happened before I created second account.

I was testing Labs on Android-x86 when I realized there's something wrong with this one.

Honestly, I don't need two accounts and I'd like to use this one.

Obviously, English is not my mother tongue, and sometimes it's hard to express exact thoughts. :eek:

I have version 1.1.6b of the app, and I'd like to search the forums of my device for a specific keyword. I thought the Search Plus would have this feature since I know you can do it on the website, but it appears that you cannot search specific forums with Search Plus. Am I just missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
No, you are not missing anything. Search plus is global search. That is the way it works. You can add more keywords (your device code or etc) to narrow down the result to your device.

Hey there ,

i got a feature request, can we please get rid of the black navigation bar ? and make it colored or white ?

Thank you in advance and sorry if this has been asked before, i could not find anything related to my request via search.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
I'll down vote this one as I hate the 'candy store' look of most apps. However, the ability to set theme preferences would likely satisfy all parties assuming such cosmetic tweaks don't take away resources from addressing functional enhancements.
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
Hmm okay to make this more clear, i don´t mean changing colors of the app in general, i mean just make the navigation bar the same color as the status / action bar color ( like Grey 900 #212121 )

Or if one using light mode it switches to a white navbar to match the theme, maybe this can be adjusted via an auto-night mode.

Anyway , i just want to get rid of possible "navbar burn in" on my new pixel and i hate immersive mode (tho i´m currently using it) :p

Hope my request is easier to understand now.

edit: heck make it a premium feature, i gladly pay for this !
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Wow, that's something I haven't worried about since first gen plasma panels! I sure hope the latest gen OLED derivatives are immune to this characteristic in all but the most extreme cases.

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I believe there are many apps to "theme" navbar regardless which app is present in foreground. Have you tried those?
[Android Apps and Games] EternalFlame:
I tried some of those, but they are sadly not very reliable and i´m not very comfortable using an 3rd party app to theme just one app,

because i managed to get rid of every app that uses a black navigation bar except for xda labs, as you know probably,

it´s the only true working and aesthetically pleasing xda app that is out there IMO.

Tho i´m rooted in any case, i got "Granular" = (immersive mode app) to fix this issues in the mean time. (It´s just a little annoying to use)

This wasn´t also a "do it now and forget everything request" ,just something to add to the "maybe will be added in future updates list" :angel: :good:

I don't know about Android 4.0.4 but I've just tested with my old Motorola Defy running CyanogenMod 10 (Android 4.1.2) and it worked fine with XDA Labs v1.1.1b (one version released on feb 2017 which was already installed on my phone).

That said, I upgraded to XDA Labs v1.1.6b but the app now crashes on start (even after app data wipe). I think latest changes made on libs trigger issues with old version of Android. I'm maybe wrong but I think blk_jack won't work on debugging issues about those old versions of Android. If he does, I can provide logs.

Just curious. Did she say why she doesn't want you to root the device?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Please take this as friendly advise from and old dog (or an old monkey as the case may be). The reason you cant root the device is, IMO, because you have sensible parents. For the same reasons that they might not want you to have root on your device (your on-line protection from spam, scams and jams) you should consider limiting the amount of personal information you share in forums such as this, restricting the sharing of such information to PMs and situations where it is necessary. You are better spoken and more polite than some of my curmudgeonly cohort and you've introduced (at least to me) a unique but real-world usage case for why someone might need to use an older Android OS without root, so again please take this just as friendly advise.
[Android Apps and Games] pendragon666:
You laugh, but that is probably true. She proly payed someone to setup something and does not want him to find out or mess it up. How would she even know if he is rooted? How does she even know what a root is? So many questions...
