I'd totally do that. However, my problem is I'm forced to use the app since I'm trying to purchase some apps which the mobile browser doesn't support and redirects me to xda lap app every single time.

A great app that I'd like to see updated with more features and more up-to-go and a problem for people in countries sanctioned by Google and others that sends network error messages on the app's home page and the search field.

Will the new app be open source?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Please pardon some ambient rage but on one side of me is the labs app where the quickest way to interact in a thread is to keep the app properties open and force close it as soon as a spinner seems too persistent (2-3 seconds) then reopen app, re navigate, and post. That's a terrible way to treat a database but it takes 1/3 the time to post something. On the other side is the website which, this time with no scripts being blocked, is requesting captcha then going to a bad request error.

Gaaaaah! I'm certainly not the only one who feels that the new iteration of interface cannot arrive soon enough.

[EDIT] I can edit this post in the Labs thread but not this pst in the MiX FAQ thread where I am asked for non-functional captha.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65157363&postcount=6

Is that captha cr@p a byproduct of the post being too long or containing invalid characters or certain types of links?. I have no way to edit that material even when obligated to make changes. Again pardon my frustration but if anyone know a way to work around CRAPtcha I'm all ears.

[EDIT2] In one of the seemingly failed edits the changes were posted which is ironic because in a previous iteration of this problem things went the other way and a big post was lost (to be later recovered). I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead today.

My understanding is reCAPTCHA can be avoided by having to maintain smaller posts (trust me, I have to deal with big posts in the private moderator forum). I suggest you to split your posts and it should be fine. If you need assistance to do this by adding reserved posts for you in your thread, please PM me, I would be happy to help, me or any other Moderator.

Months/(years?) ago I think this reCAPTCHA thingie was not implemented on he site... If I remember correctly, it was set after heavy and repetitive DDoS attacks that were ruining the site for days... Our huge XDA based on vbulletin is/was very hard to maintain and it has been running like this until now.

Hopefully the new XDA based on XenForo will be live before end of October and those issues will be gone.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Thanks for the explanation. That's consistent with what I've seen as the issue occurs with long FAQ OPs and not with other shorter posts. I appreciate the offer to split posts and might take you up on that but for now I should be okay since I was already doing something like that for different reasons (using OPs as index for many posts within the thread).

That's also consistent with what I've seen, and coincides with the beggining of my ranting in this thread about cloudflare and other scripts.

Indeed

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] svetius:
No, it will not. The new app is made by development firm Audentio and they own the code, however they're also very diligent about providing updates and support (we're paying them on a retainer to make sure we have their full attention). So whereas Labs was mostly worked on by one guy, blk_jack, with the new forum app we get a team :highfive:

That said, as mentioned in this portal announcement post, we might be willing to open source Labs if we can get a group of devs together to take over the development and planning of it. We've already gotten a few people to express interest and we're working to coordinate a group.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Your proper representation of the term reCAPTCHA juxtaposed with my accidental and intentional abuse of the word as craptcha reminds me of a silly old word-game joke for children.

Q: Two birds, PETE and his twin brother rePETE, were sitting on a fence when Pete flew away, so who was left?

A: rePETE

Q: Two birds, PETE and ...

That's a pre-technology bootloop!

when i can try to login labs says password user wrong but i i have also used the option to recover password
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
FYI, XDA is moving to a new infrastructure and a new app so there may not be much purpose to troubleshooting app problems at the moment. You can review recent pages of this thread for some information about the upcoming changes. Meanwhile I would suggest that you use a regular desktop web browser to make sure your credentials and login are OK or reset them. Then after you have your login working OK in web browser you could continue troubleshooting the app... But keep in mind that this will change in the next few weeks when the update occurs.

[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Sorry guys, bit of a rant ahead regarding recent developments.

I can't help but look at this line and feel that XDA has been quite hypocritical here. XDA prides itself on hosting custom ROM development communities, and repeatedly calls out companies which don't release kernel sources for their devices on time. The 'name and shame' technique.

Yet you guys promised to open source your OWN app and didn't do so for FIVE WHOLE YEARS. What was the point? Why not just say it was closed source and be done with it? Why mislead users into thinking the app was going to be open sourced "shortly", for an increasingly ludicrous definition of "shortly"?

And now this app is being abandoned for what looks to be half a year, to be replaced by yet another proprietary app.

I refuse to use the new app. I will be uninstalling XDA Labs in 10 days and will use my browser to access the website instead.

Thank you, and again, sorry for the rant.

[MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION] I recommend you remove XDA Labs from the list of FOSS apps installed using NanoDroid. It will stop working in 10 days, and was never FOSS to begin with, anyway.

[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
There will be a new app, but it's currently in beta and so not released publicly yet.
[Android Apps and Games] 92millmac:
I'm also having trouble with this particular issue... I'm logged in Labs, but when the drawer opens, under my username it shows "network connectivity issues", although the news threads load fine. When I go to the apps screen all the images load but when I select any app, it doesn't load descriptions, no screenshots load or reviews either. I was using adguard as vpn and I saw where it and similar apps were causing issues so I reset all the settings in adguard back to default and uninstalled it, but the issue remained. I've tried uninstalling Labs, wiping cache and reinstalling but to no avail.... thanks in advance, and a huge thanks to all the dev's on XDA, you guys have been super helpful every since I joined the community, you guys are awesome! :)
[Android Apps and Games] jwarrior319:
I believe its a result of the ongoing transition to the new system. They did say labs will be somewhat active/supported yet but they also need to find a dev team willing to keep working on it so i guess it may be down until then.

Just when I was curious why XDA Labs has been abandoned for over 2 years already (after revisiting the app that I haven't touched for a long time), I find out that there is going to be a big update soon. Man, I remember my nerdy days when I was browsing about hacky stuff for my past devices...

Nice to read that it's going to be revived I guess.

Hi,

I've enjoyed participating in the xda forum's for quite a while now, I recently installed the xda labs option on my android tablet. I'm having an issue with seeing a notification in the menu on the left side of the page that says: ' Network Connectivity Issue', so far I haven't found anyway to get rid of that notification. Has anyone else experienced that issue & if so how did you fix it ?

Thanks

Update: It looks like I really need to look around more in the forums more often, I just came across this: https://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=530 it really sounds like a positive move at least to me.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
To make things a little bit clearer: XDA Labs won't continue by itself. One main problem has ever been the fact that labs is almost a one man project with a little help.

So just complaining about an app everyone gets for free and that someone has made in his free time doesn't help at all and XDA labs will only exist, being supported and updated if some developers are willing to work on it.

Quoted from the XDA article ( https://www.xda-developers.com/big-changes-to-xda-forums-are-coming-soon/ ).

So there's a forum update on the way also a new mobile app.

If XDA labs will exist beyond 2020 depends on the willingness of people to help.
[Android Apps and Games] sd_shadow:
There haven't been any updates, but the site is scheduled to shutdown today and be down for sometime.

[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
I'm not sure if the plan was to mention it here, but once it's released, I'll try to remember personally. Although with all the great people that follow this thread, I'm sure someone will beat me to it.

As for the new app being better than Labs, it will be regarding using the forum. I think the goal is to have parity with the website as far as post features which Labs doesn't have. As for the other features of Labs, some might not make it over, but they are thinking of trying to find developers to continue those features.
[Android Apps and Games] lekiaM:
So for the time being we have to use XDA via Browser? As i read correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] Raiz:
XDA works fine when using the app from the Playstore. This post was posted using the Playstore app. But remember that 0400 GMT on the 1st of December XDA will go on read-only mode, so you won't be able to post with your browser either

[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
The biggest drawback for me using Chrome and the new website instead of the labs app everything is marked unread I don't know where to begin I'm just going to mark everything read and start over. This is going to take some getting used to. You need a section in the menu for subscribed threads on that menu instead of all them devices and all them threads and stuff for ME I didn't see one useful link anywhere in the top 2/3 of that menu. It would be a lot more user friendly. I did find the watched link finally. Just an old members first use impression.

Ps The new site does look nice!

Are you still seeing this? Read/unread was broken but it's working now. Only issue is the difference in boldness between read and unread on the dark theme is too subtle, but that's on the list of things to fix.

I believe all posts/threads are marked unread, as you view them they are being marked read now, but ones you viewed in the past are still marked unread.

I just marked every thing read a few hours ago, to be done with it.

They developed an app actually, by a third party company, the same company who designed and developed the new forum. So a new app has been worked on in parallel and it will be available very very soon.
