[Android Apps and Games] fd.svensson:
This isn't funny anymore. As a new tester of this awesome app I'm trying to start reading from the end of last year. Just like you shall do if you would try a new ROM. Read before ask.

Now I know that an app in this dimension must be overwhelming for only one person to fix and if he started 4 years ago, maybe a little tired and must be with his family when he still has one but.

I comes to the beginning of this year and suddenly I'm watching Xposed app's and wallpaper and I haven't yet rooted my phone ?

Today I have Mi Max 2 - Android 7.1.1 - Miui 10 Global Beta - SwiftKey keyboard Beta - over wifi 5Ghz

Tomorrow same phone but with Havoc Treble (HardRock83) with an Pie ?

Just had to tell you people. Oh ? almost forgot to tell that it has happened at least 4 times.

Be back tomorrow Sunday, here in Sweden the time is 19:20 and it's Saturday ?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Tell us what now? ?

When I click to attachment on my post, XDA Labs app restarts itself. Unfortunately my primary phone is unrooted and secondary phone doesn't have access to internet (broken wifi antennae and no data on sim card), so all I could do for now is to share a screenrecord here:

Post of interest: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v7-0-0-t3894244/post79030330

The attached image was captured by camera app, edited via screen master app and uploaded to the forum via XDA Labs app. I am sharing the same image, its info and its metadata. I also uploaded it to GDrive in case somebody wants to test the event.

Image of interest:

Can anybody try whether they can reproduce it? If not, I will try adb logs tomorrow to find the culprit.

My device: Xiaomi Mi A1 - stock firmware - unrooted/locked bootloader - no custom recovery - latest february patches via OTA for AndroidOne device - XDA Labs 1.1.6b - no theme or overlay is present (substratum doesn't work unrooted on Android Pie). Those are all that comes to my mind as info. If needed more, I can provide it.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I can reproduce the issue on your post of the RR thread. But not only your post, also on the posts above yours which contain image attachments. I'm wondering if the culprit wouldn't be the big posts by Robert7x with logs in hide tags before and after your post in the same page.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Yes. Exactly on my post and no other. I tried from the attachmenton post above and I dont get the issue. I am not sure about whether long logs on post could do that. Since I have seen even longer posts on mods threads where quoting a post with embedded {code} would make stuff appear 2-4x longer than it is.

But I guess it is easy for you to test as you are moderator and can edit users' post and remove the {hide} tags for short time to test.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I can reproduce the crash on other posts in the same page on my end, like this one: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-3/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v7-0-0-t3894244/post79029138

Can you see now [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION]? I have copy pasted those kind of big posts around one post of mine with an image attached and I can reproduce the crash on the Labs thread: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post79031037

So I def think those big posts trigger the crash. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:

[Android Apps and Games] fd.svensson:
I tried to tell you that in the start of the new year the app pushed me to the front page. 4 times.

I still have the app from Google play, so I can raed from that app instead.

I haven't changed to Havoc yet, since my wife used our only PC / TV.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Keep in mind that you are not addressing or hearing from a single person or entity (no less a paid support group) but rather a community comprised of many users of the app and developers in general (not necessarily of this app). In that context a statement such as "I tried to tell you [some time ago]." is meaningless.. and not likely to be well received but for the tone. Something like "my previous report got no reply but the issue persists. Here are the details. Is there anything else that can be done to escalate this?"

As to the issue: A bug or problem report would start at least with a clear description of the issue, then follow up with a walk through (detailed list) of the specific steps taken to reproduce it, and a log that was captured while you reproduced it, and if applicable screen shots.

That "the app pushed me to the front page. 4 times." gives people who would try to help you little to go on. Try filling in the expected details, at least with a more thorough description of what is occurring. If you've previously posted details then link to those posts in a new post that includes any new information.

[EDIT] I've got a log that shows many java exceptions and other errors at the time of the app restart.

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Interesting. Even though I'm seeing the symptoms after a different workflow it must be the same issue, but the timing of when I first experienced it does not line up (without other factors). I've never had this occur before now so there must be other factors if it is the same issue as what was reported in 2017. Logically what could be different? Echoing your discussion with [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION], perhaps something in specific posts or specific user signatures and bylines. If I have a chance I'll try to test and triangulate down to something more specific.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Note: The previous post may represent another symptom or issue so I've left it intact rather than edit. I don't see why the 2 replies were stitched together as if consecutive even though there was a post and several minutes in between. I've never seen this before either, even on days when the posts are flowing faster.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Flagging something that might be related to some sort of maintenance or server state, or maybe the return of an old issue:

When opening Labs to Forums, "Network connectivity..." issue reported in drawer upon what otherwise seems to be a good connection. From within app going to labs causes error to disappear. Error remains gone upon return to forums. Confirmed on WiFi and mobile data (which was a significant distinction in a previous iteration of a possibly similar issue).

[EDIT] The error message does not go away when opening to Labs as previously stated. That's turned out to be 1 anomalous result among many across 3 devices and 2 Android versions.
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Same, here. Network Connectivity warning but forums load correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Same here.

[MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION], could you please look into this connectivity issue on the Labs backend?

Seems like an unexpected response code 503 for token check from server?

And full logs attached.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] slamdunksaliby:
Is the latest beta or official version the best way to go? I am not able to download the app either because the link is down.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Latest beta is the best way to go IMO.

Links are not down on my end. From post #3:

- Standard build: http://imgs.xda-labs.com/apks/XDA-Labs-1.1.6b.apk

- Debug build: http://imgs.xda-labs.com/apks/XDA-Labs-1.1.6b-debug.apk
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The network connectivity issue is gone on my end
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Mine was gone when I thanked you, but within seconds network connectivity warning back. Sigh
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
After I've seen that network connectivity warning for a while I was logged out from the app the last time I opened it. Logging in was a bit strange (didn't leave the login screen) but at the moment everything is fine again on my side.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You are correct, network connectivity issue is back :(
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:

[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Network connectivity issues should have been resolved since March 9, blk_jack reported in the Telegram group that there was a cloudflare related snag that was causing problems.
[Android Apps and Games] rognlorie:
I don't know if this is the correct forum but when I tap on my device this is the options I get or a few of them any way! It says I have an essential phone but well you can see

Yes it's the correct place to ask.

Device auto-detection doesn't work sometimes depending on the Device/Firmware.

You can manually change it, try this like shown attached.

You are right, it works fine. I typed "Essential Products PH-1" when I tested, that's why I thought it didn't work. Sorry :o

[Android Apps and Games] ekeluo:
So I use XDA labs app, to view the forums (typing this) and update certain apps (MiXplorer, Kiwi, Ruthless launcher, etc).

I recently updated my Lenovo P2 (P2c72, rooted with magisk 18) to CrDroid 5.2 and noticed a strange behaviour: when I trying to install available updates (after successful download), the screen...hangs/freezes? It doesn't really freeze though cause I can go to the app switcher and switch to other apps, but I can't return to the launcher (I have nova, Ruthless, pixel & trebuchet installed, all behave alike). Apps that show overlays (fast finder, sesame) are then inaccessible. Basically, the install screen short of takes over the top display layer. I've resorted to using MiXplorer's built-in update system for now, as this problem seems to be peculiar to launching an installation from XDA labs app.

Anyone else have this problem?

Currently on version 1.1.6b.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Yes. I noticed the same three times about a month ago with my Xiaomi Mi A1 on stock pie firmware (AndroidOne). But then it stopped happening. I just updated MiXplorer again, and it doesn't happen too... I am clueless as I haven't even modified the system/theme (no root no magisk no substratum and no overlays of any kind). So yes. I had it happen to me about 3 times, but then it didn't (and now it doesn't too).

P.S. The one weird behavior I could notice when the issue was present, was that when I tried to install the update first time, the update screen (second attachment) had the "install" button greyed out. And I had to cancel and retry to install. And after I installed it the second time, the installation finished screen (with "done" and "open" buttons) got stuck in background. There was no way to get around it until I rebooted. This happened for all three events. And it happened exclusively on MiXplorer app installation page (no idea whether it is anything significant) but that could be not important as I tend to update apps from playstore mostly and there are only two apps that I update through XDA Labs (MiXplorer and GetTube). No idea whether it is helpful at all but just wanted to vote for "it happened to me too"

XDA provides download server for xposed modules, that is why the repo is on XDA Labs. I dont know whether it is the same for magisk modules

Apologies in advance if this isn't the right place for this but I've had the XDA Labs app on my new Note 9 for around a week or 2 now, and the past 2 days, device care keeps flagging it up as high background battery usage, any ideas on what's going on?, Or is it just a mistake from device care?
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
I'm not sure if this is related to some "recent" reports (spread over the past year) about issues with PM in Labs but not browser.

Unable to send PM from Labs, tested on 2 devices, One LOS 14 and the other LOS 15. Send button does not respond. Compose, send; What step might I be missing? If not then [MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION], perhaps you could coach me some more about how to push along this report and the previous one about the back-end issues with my profile (still no new quotes listed in Labs with error upon refresh). I can no longer use Labs without being in a browser at the same time even for things that Labs can handle.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I just sent you a pm from xda labs about a minute ago. Did you receive it?

As far as I remember the main culprit on XDA PM issue was to not forget to put a subject text. If you had a subject too, then I guess you could pull up logs to see what is happening
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
D'oh. Subject. Hanging head in shame. Yes I received your PM. Thanks. :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:

I'm pretty sure it's device care which is a bit too annoying :p

I never had any battery draining issue regarding xda labs.
[Android Apps and Games] TheInfiniteAndroid:
I haven't seen any noticeable battery drain, however I did just notice this:

Seems the labs app is staying active in the background basically from the moment my device comes off charge, this is intentional right?, I just want to make sure as other apps don't report this kind of background activity, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Well, I can't fairly say that it's an issue with Labs because I once knew to enter the subject and forgot. Also, the words "Message Subject" we're right there begging me to fill in the field and I ignored them. As alternative to an error message it might be easier to have it say "Enter Subject" or "Subject Here". Thanks again [MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION] for the advise and test.
[Android Apps and Games] iamnotkurtcobain:
I think an AMOLED Black Mode would be nice for this app :)
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Once I dig up the old log or create a new one and connect it to our past posts about this then perhaps you could guide me as to where to send it. The issue is somewhat unique because it seems to be a Labs specific issue but apparently in relation to only one user (or maybe a small group) so there are few testing points. Since last mentioning it I've un-subscribed from over 100 threads to no avail. Hypothesis: Corruption in user account data or some dependency, causing unread quoted post refresh failure.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, the more efficient way would be to contact privately bitpushr (via Discord is an option) and explain your issue considering it's more likely to be a backend issue.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
We all agree and it's in the roadmap, but it hasn't been a priority so far. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
There are also substratum themes like Swift Black available which include XDA labs. Just for information.

One thing I'm missing from the app (and XDA in general) is the possibility to bookmark or save a specific comment in a thread to be able to go back to it for reference.

Dunno if this is a request for support (if it's somewhere already) or a feature request (if it's not).

All my devices (since KK) have warned me that XDA Labs was "always running" , but a quick look at the numbers and I'm not worrying. Yeah, Labs starts at boot and will keep doing it's thing without boot- mgmt, but 17 MB over 3 hours is a LOT less than any Google app uses just to boot up initially, and I couldn't stop those apps really until I installed Play Services Doze Enabler (borrowed from Magisk, kickin' ass on LOS 14.1) .

No, there's no way in the app itself. Only solution would be to send a PM to blk_jack or bitpushr. Only a very few people have access to the the Labs backend.
