There's one more thing I've noticed and would be grateful if you could try to reproduce it. When I go to S10 "Roms, Kernels, Recoveries and other development" and try to scroll down, it shows "refreshing circle" for about a second and then I get "No items to show" black screen... Screenshots and logs attached.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes I can reproduce it.
[Android Apps and Games] jwarrior319:
Same here. Weird.

Im on 1.1.7b-rc1 debug
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Added to GitHub as issue #109: If scrolling down to the end of some subforums, it ends up with the "No items to show" screen

Note: this seems to be the same kind of behaviour than this other known issue about PM box: If scrolling down to the end of the PM list it gets stuck in "nothing to show" screen and it's impossible to reload

Getting logged out by app then can't log in when on P2P VPN but ok no problems logging in when on obfuscated VPN. Only started happening last 1 -2 weeks. S9 on latest CSK4 Soldier312

Is this problem with my configuration or at XDA-cloudflare? Annoying problem that's been reported before, but did not find solution. Thx for any help.
[Android Apps and Games] thimprfct:
hi there,

in xda labs when I enter my device model number which is tagged to my thread in the search window, xda labs always crashes.

doesn't happen with other device model numbers.

now I ask myself if xda labs crashes on everyone's devices, if they put in the model number of this device to get to my thread.

so they wouldn't find me.

problem persists since 24 hours.

my thread has been moved from one forum to another. can this happen then, is it normal?

logs & screenshots later (awake too long??)

thank you ?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This crash case in search plus screen is already known, thanks a lot for the offer but logs won't be needed since this crash is fixed in the WIP version.

Hi, in the xda labs app, at every post / comment made by me i dont have that pen that anyone have so i can edit my post, i cant see neither a delete button for comments or posts.

Also, i dont have settings in this app so i can change my avatar or my nickname. Ty
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Your nickname isn't changeable, not on Labs nor on XDA at all. Moderators may be able to do that if a good reason exists.

Changing your avatar and all profile settings/changes has to be made on the XDA website, open it in a browser, the easiest way would be on a PC but it's also possible on a mobile device.

XDA Labs isn't made for those changes.

About the edit button (pencil) can you provide a screenshot? When the post has been written by you there has to be one on the bottom right just next to the thanks button.

A delete button for posts doesn't exist, posts can only be deleted by moderators.

You can only delete the content but therefore you need the edit function.

[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
Strange. What's the build you're using? It should be 1.1.6b (debug). You find the version number when you tap on the hamburger menu on the left top and then tap the 3 dot menu next to the gear icon.

Where did you download XDA Labs?
[Android Apps and Games] zandander:
Anyone having an issue where xda labs signs you off when not in use and won't let you log back in? Says the network is unavailable. Any clues?
[Android Apps and Games] meduzaAI:
Its 1.1.6b

I downloaded through the official XDA from Google Play Store.

I tried reinstalling, same thing.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
I'm wondering if it's related to the fact that your name looks like a piece of coding. You'll also notice that quoting you shows your name as &lt

If XDA Labs can't tell that your post was posted by you then it won't allow you to edit it.
[Android Apps and Games] meduzaAI:
Maybe but I dont think so, but the name is surely also another problem ( in quoting and etc )

Why i say that ? Because if i use forum managers app like Tapatalk i can edit my post.

Or maybe an moderator can help me with changing the name to see if this is the problem.

The name on the app is also coded.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Just PM me and tell me your new username and I will make this happens.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
I assume that you can also successfully access, edit posts, etc forums using the web browser, right?

Which comes down to the issue being only XDA Labs not handling your user name properly.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Now that your username has been charged to meduzaAI, could you please try again and edit one of your posts through the app?
[Android Apps and Games] meduzaAI:
Lets try it here.

EDIT: Yep, the name was the problem, good thing to know.

Its kinda strange thing that coding texts make errors, im sure it can be fixed in the base scripts of the forum.

Thank you for your help and time.
[Android Apps and Games] golden7:
Yes. Posted a few days ago. Annoying problem. Others posted earlier in year. No solution that I found. No responses either. Looks like it's a XDA-Cloudflare setting by XDA to block some VPN IPs. Not all are blocked. Try different VPN access protocol.

Doesn't make sense.
[Android Apps and Games] zandander:

Tried this app, but i think it has to much bload / clutter. It just should be an app for the forums.

Yes i know you can set an extra icon for just the forum part, but i personally think it's stupid to have to icons for the same app.

Please don't shoot me, because this is just my personal opinion
[Android Apps and Games] VictorLapin:
I'm basically with you, but I suggest to make parts of the interface switchable. Don't need Xposed modules - switch it off in settings. Same with apps, XDA news and forums (maybe someone don't need forums as well :p)
[Android Apps and Games] kin9nothin9:
since to many users are asking to decrease features from xda lab, may i suggest to keep xda one as a light version and xda lab as it is now, full version?!!

it is just a suggeztion
[Android Apps and Games] stunned:
I hope apps and Xposed will be separated to own app. Forum app is enough.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben36:
Labs forum is nicer than one tho
[Android Apps and Games] EMK2000:
Suggestion:

Can the app be installed automatically with root permissions? Since when I click Xposed page, I have already grand you the root permission, so it would be nice if the app can be installed in the background.

Question:

Apart from bit corn, can I pay the app by credit cards or PayPal? (I haven't tried it yet)
[Android Apps and Games] svetius:
Few things there. First, over time we will be allowing apps not allowed on the play store. That includes apps that can modify your system, adult apps, and so forth. Second, for apps like Hangouts and Facebook and even YouTube, we will be uploaded early releases. Often times there are new versions of apps on the way out but Google releases them in staged rollouts that can take days or weeks. With Labs, you can get the update right away. Great example from the past would be Hangouts 4.0, with its redesign, which a lucky few got very quickly and the rest of us were left waiting. With Labs we will get the APK and push it down to your device very quickly. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Vuska:
So where's the downloads go ? Which folder ?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Downloads go to internal phone storage in \Download\XDA One.

[MENTION=6199355]Beat_Slayer[/MENTION] already answered HERE and I can confirm it. I've just tested.

It's weird you can't find "Xda One" folder on your phone man ! :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] Vuska:
Really.. Nothing..

I just try again.. downloading apps Dev Check.. and i cant find the file.
[Android Apps and Games] stunned:
Hopefully this can be completely disabled. I don't want the app to scan my apps and push updates.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, sorry I didn't understand you talked about apps downloads (I thought it was files downloaded from xda forums).

Now you can check in phone internal storage in \Android\data\com.xda.labs\files if you find your downloads :)
[Android Apps and Games] TrevorAshley:
Dope app, keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] pulser_g2:
No automatic updates are done in Labs right now - you always get to choose if and when you want to update.

I've had 4 updates sitting for a while now, and I had to go and manually approve the update to happen.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
So this is to address the whole concern/suggestions about splitting up the app. This is also to address posts that claim having both the forums and apps/xposed/wallpapers section of Labs is bloated.

First off, we are looking into making it so that you can disable or at least hide various parts of the app depending on your interest. The goal here is to create a better XDA experience, and while there are users who just primarily use the forums, there are also users who heavily use Xposed or who use Labs to get the latest apks before Play pushes them out.

Separating all those things out would first off make a ton of different apps to install, but also make it harder for us to maintain and develop for.

Second, and this is how the app currently works, each section of the app is handled using Android's native memory management. What that means is that say you're in the Apps/Xposed section and you switch to Forums. When Android needs RAM, it will automatically stop the Apps/Xposed activity and reclaim that memory. This means that sure, if you go from one to the other, they're both in memory right after that, but Android will appropriately clean up depending on what it needs and what section you're actually using.

This allows us to have a Forums and Apps/Xposed section in the app and to effectively hide one of those activities in the user interface and never load those activities in memory.

Right now if you enable the XDA Forums launcher icon, the app will load the Forums only and unless you go to Labs proper, will not load that part of the app in memory.

This doesn't address the issue people have mentioned where they want to disable the Labs part entirely and only have forums (with 1 launcher icon), but it does address the fear I've seen here that imply simply having an Apps/Xposed section the app is using up memory or causing "bloat".

So in the cards the idea of being able to disable/prioritize sections of the app you use most is definitely something we're considering and putting a lot of thought into.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
We actually already forum links for apps. The ones typically from Play don't have forums (or links), but we can talk about potentially including this, though I'm not sure what the conversation will revolve around.

Heard this request from a few people, I'll update the roadmap & include it.

Auto-root update is something we've mentioned as being on our roadmap, will update the OP with it.

Performance optimizations are literally mentioned in the OP as something that's coming. The app itself isn't that heavy though and will use 0 extra battery when not actually running for the user and even still should be just as "intense" as any other app that has a bunch of graphics and data.

So even though the app has push notifications it isn't actually scanning your apps and there's no backend database of the apps you have installed.

We're using MQTT, so the app subscribes to the app via its package name and then when an update comes out our backend server tells the MQTT server to broadcast a push notification to all the devices that have subscribed to that app.

THAT SAID, we are planning on adding the ability to control your push notifications (I believe it's mentioned in the OP).
[Android Apps and Games] VictorLapin:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] my thoughts exactly
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
Nice good luck for the future
[Android Apps and Games] stunned:
Also dividing Store/xposed and Forums to own apps would allow to put Forums app to Play Store, which was at least a plan with XDA One app. I believe Google won't allow any 3rd party app stores to Play store.
[Android Apps and Games] DumF0rGaming:

[Android Apps and Games] mrrocketdog:

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]: Very little detail :

I've noticed font size of post edit/creation is smaller than font size of thread view (I think 1 px difference), could we please at least have consistent size in both ?

Would it be an easier fix to increase font size in post edit/creation screen only and for now ?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
They should be the same. I'll look into it today though.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
You've not updated the in-app changelog since 0.68a Debug, but the date and version number is updated, so I'm guessing they're global variables. Add that to the list as well.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
That's not how the changelog works. It fetches it from the server itself upon deployment. Test builds aren't deployed, etc.

Working as intended.
[Android Apps and Games] Folie17:
This app is well well well made! Awesome!
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
That's awesome to know, never knew what was intended to be the method of functioning of the app

I've also noticed another minor problem (I use 1.0.0b RC4)

1. I've thanked your post like in the first screenshot.

2. Then, I've scrolled up on the page to read previous posts and I saw endless spinning button on one of

previous post which is on the same page. You can see it on the second screenshot attached.

I can easily reproduce it, if it doesn't happen on your phone(s), i will provide logs if they can help.

Maybe it has already been reported on IRC, I don't know....
[Android Apps and Games] :
The spinning thanks is due to your thanks limit being topped out. :good:

(As far as it appearing to spin on your post, I think that's a graphical glitch, just noticed it too.)

Edit: though I can't reproduce it at will. Strange.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks but I already know this spinning thanks behaviour when thanks limit is reached. :)

What I mean is that my issue happens on one of my previous post on the same page, not the post of another user I thank.

It also happens before I reach 8 thanks limit. You can try yourself :)

Yes, it's only this graphical glitch I talk about :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
I can't seem to reproduce it, but I've seen it. Must happen under a certain circumstance.

If I see it again , I'll take note of specifics. :good:

(Its not happening now, only spinning on your post, cause my thanks are used up.)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
FYI, it also happens when we "un-thank" a post.

The conditions to reproduce (in my case):

1. quit xda-labs

2. open xda labs and I go in the last page of a thread where I have more than one post on the same page. It's a condition.

3. I thank or "un-thank" the post of a user (the last one of the page, maybe a condition).

4. scroll up to see my previous posts and I can see the spinning thank on one of my post.

I can reproduce it everytime. As I said I can provide logs to blk_jack if necessary for this minor graphical glitch.

[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
It's a bit tough as [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] already mentioned on IRC because the comments are powered by DisQus who have a separate API to deal with.
[Android Apps and Games] silentvisitor:
Oh :(

Thanks for info :good:

Btw can I get hold of 1.0RC somewhere other than IRC ?

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You're welcome man, it's always a pleasure! :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Don't think so, but what's the abhorrence to IRC?? As soon as you log in, the topic will show you the latest test build and the changelog. Only have to click and download. It takes me 1 and a half minutes to start a download while seeing the changelog on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
That seems consistent with this: A user who's name contains [ as first character and ] as last character, and for whom PM message threads in Labs but not web browsers misinterpret the brackets and mess up the quote-threading (which happens to use bracket to differentiate sections). File as FWIW.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I guess you're referring to this: https://github.com/Wood-Man/XDA-Labs-Issues-and-Suggestions/issues/64

I remember RC called [] AL [] with broken quotes. But I don't think [] AL [] had the missing edit button issue. :confused:

But yeah man, I had the same thought as you when this issue related to the username containing < and > popped up.

As a side note I hope this app will revive someday. I miss the days I was testing and debugging actively. Well I have other duties now. Though I'm glad you and others are still around. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Good memory! Yes, although to your point they did not have the issue with the missing button, just the broad similarity that some characters some places can cause a scramble of some type. Not surprising in threaded messaging but more unusual to be associate with a UI issue such as a missing edit button itself.

[Android Apps and Games] pawloland:
The xda lab app and xda app can't load any news. It started happening today morning. I asked on xda discord server and I am not the only one, so I assume that something is happening on the 'server side'. Can you look into it, or tell what are you doing and when news will work again?
[Android Apps and Games] emanuelrv:

[Android Apps and Games] pendragon666:
Articles posted on christmas day are the last ones the app will load. I can't get any new ones.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The fact that the news feed hasn't been updated lately (last one shown is from Dec 11th on my end) doesn't mean the app is abandoned, it means it is an unexpected server side issue IMO. I have reported it to the server admin. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Nx Biotic:
App updates to xda labs are carbon dated

Anyone asking for updates or the source code give up, not gonna happen. Android 11 will probably block 3rd party app installs so development will probably halt at that time.

On a side note... Please work on the console side of things. Like possibly adding a 24hr window of adding a new app or a pending window so the apps list isn't spammed by themes and icon packs and the good apps lost below. Seems like people have gotten into a tendency of just upping the version number of their app so they appear at the top of the list more frequently.
[Android Apps and Games] pendragon666:
Thanks for the info. The reason I asked is because the last time this was updated was nore than a year ago.
[Android Apps and Games] Spookymyo:
No updated news feed for me either
[Android Apps and Games] mathuaerknedam:

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes I can confirm. The server admin did something on the server side to fix that. We're still unsure if a long term fix would be needed but it's OK for now. We'll keep you informed.
[Android Apps and Games] pawloland:
New articles are indeed being loaded, byt the oldest one that is accesible via news feed is "[Contest] Join HONOR Watch Face Global Design Contest! Big Prizes Are Waiting For You!". After that one, older articles aren't loaded. I would count this fix as temporary solution, because it is impossible to scroll to older news.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Here it goes till July 26. I guess the problem is on your end.
[Android Apps and Games] pawloland:
I strongly doubt it. I reinstalled xda app, tried loading news feed while being and not logged in and did it on different devices. All the times, the oldest news was the one mentionet previously. Did you clear app data? What I'm assuming is that it's working for you because maybe your app cached it previously, and now it isn't downloaded from servers, but loaded from memory. It's my assumption, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You are right, news feed is stored in app data, that's why we don't have the same oldest news. I tried to wipe app data and the oldest is now from 3 days ago but it was from Sept 9th before data wipe.

BTW there is no bug, only latest news articles are stored in the app and it has always been like that. It is not related to the latest issue which has been fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] pawloland:
Good to know. Was it really working like that? I think I was able to load older news, before the last issue. I may be wrong though. Taking adventage of the opportunity, could it be added as feature (if it for 100% isn't a new bug), that older news could be additionaly downloaded from server, while scrolling down? Something like infinite scroll, simillar to reddit, fb or ig.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
That explains a lot. I purchased my p3a XL on November 27 (previous screenshots were from my xiaomi mia1). And installed XDA Labs approximately 1-2 days later, with other apps (clean install, not restoring backup). I have news since November 29 (other than "sponsored" news on september same as you). And I was curious why one device has older news than other
