Yeah I figured that out a while ago. I'm not sure how people are differentiating models now though; doesn't make sense to me.

Edit: huh duplicate post? How? This happens sometimes, labs bug?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Post replies have been lagging like crazy and the site seems exceptionally slow. Chances are it's a back end issue if you haven't updated Labs lately.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I am pretty sure that this is a backend issue in general, as I my connection via XDA Labs has lost some of it's stability (over the past hout, I have been unable to connect 3 times, at random intervals, regardless of connection interface) , and I am using Labs regularly.
[Android Apps and Games] HaoZeke:
Anyone else not getting the mentions and post quotes updated?

Email notifications are still much faster and reliable.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Nope. I get updated
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
Your view is not uncommon, in fact similar complaints got signatures totally banned on Android Central quite a while back.

And that is why there should be an off switch for "view signatures." Some really like them, some really hate them, but it's not fair to enforce either opinion on everyone.

As a feature request on a beta app I m not expecting a developer response anyway, beta work generally involves a lot more bug swatting than implementing new features. Just thought I'd throw it out there.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Well, sadly by switching off signatures you cannot evade tapatalk users with such byliners as explained in post below from one one page earlier:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK but bylines from tapatalk is not on topic here.

We can't avoid those bylines from tapatalk users when using Labs. As you told yourself, it's part of the post. Only solution has already been told by mods, just report users with problematic bylines, there will be warned if it's too much.

The original feature request was to allow showing WEB sig or not within Labs by a toggle in settings. I don't have any opinion on this feature addition, but if it comes (I have big doubts), I will switch it OFF for sure to avoid spam pics or text on Labs.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Add Labs to the not optimized list in App settings (Special Access -> Battery Optimization). Otherwise Doze and Android will suppress Labs because we don't use Google Play Services for notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:

Has anyone else noticed that since the switch to HTTPS, clicking on forum links in labs automatically opens the link in a custom chrome tab and renders it in a weird way, like this. Those links previously were handled in labs itself.

Oops I missed that conversation, sorry.

Hey these links open in labs normally. Huh.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
They're HTTP links. A few posts above there are HTTPS links. They'll probably open with a browser or Custom Tabs. :P
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
I just opened the HTTPS links in chrome and other mobile browsers. It appears the same rendering issue is present on the mobile site itself. Don't think it's labs issue.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Seems fine on my end.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
No problem with rendering here too mate:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Check to see if it's a mixed content blocking issue. Since the forums just transitioned to HTTPS there could be components which are still HTTP and may be blocked.

In particular from your screenshot it looks like the CSS files aren't loading.

The browser will tell you if this is happening though so dig a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] tag68:
broken quote

The display of my posting for Chainfire about an error rooting is fine in the browser, but broken in xda labs.

Is that related to the https thing? For me it does not look like that is the cause, my guess would be: I used an unusual string for the quote source. It is outside the forum in my messages. This seems to make xda Labs get a hiccup in the quote.

Should be (and is in Firefox browser):

Can anyone confirm or is it just me?
[Android Apps and Games] veez21:
It often happens to me in pc, i just change my dns to google's then it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
It looks fine to me except for the second quote heading. I think Labs is expecting a real post id, not some freeform text.

[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Yes I saw that too. A user showed the p.m.s on the public forum. But all I could see from xda labs was 2 quote of his own message, and I though why did he do this. Then I opened it in browser from 3dot menu and saw the actual quotation of his and mine messages.

But when I quoted p.m.s from xda labs, I didnt have that issue, I copied each text one by one and pasted them to a post and posted it. It was seen as string of p.m.s from both xda labs and browser.
[Android Apps and Games] veez21:
Strange, only happened this time.(my profile pic)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I can confirm https links (and still http) can be opened correctly with labs now with 1.1.0.1b test build. Both from Labs and from an xda e-mail notification for instance.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION], as a developer I would like to simply add a link to my F-Droid store and GitHub repository so that I do not have to update the app every single time but redirect users to get updates from elsewhere. Please implement this feature, otherwise XDA Labs is a great idea, but currently pretty much useless to me.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
As somebody who has used fdroid himself and likes what they've done there, it would have to be more complicated in order to work well. We would possibly have to setup defaults or meta data to augment APK fetching simply because of things like release channels (alpha, beta, stable) and Changelogs.

Right now the vast majority of Labs users are also forum users. App devs simply haven't been reached out to much yet, so we haven't particularly implemented a lot of developer specific features since our resources are limited and we want to have a minimum viable product for beta that appeals to the most amount of people.

That said, I really love the devs that are using the platform currently, even though it's in its infancy and there is so much more to add and improve on. We'll be making a large push to get developers on board once we're in beta.

But come on man, Labs is useless because you have to take a few minutes (at most) to manually upload an APK to the dev console? That kinda talk doesn't help anybody, especially when your needs are an edge case and the app is still in alpha.

Please have patience. We're listening to feedback but we have to prioritize carefully to provide the best product we can to the community.

You would think a developer would be more sensitive to the importance of providing gentle and proportionate feedback :silly:

Ok I'm still getting automatically subscribed to any thread i comment on but my xda settings say otherwise looking on both my mobile and laptop

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Why does this app "forget" my login info from time to time? Most of the time it goes right to my subscribed threads as expected but once in a while it has no clue who I am...
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
That's really strange, never seen or heard of that happening. But, uh, logs?
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
I'll grab the debug version when I get home and will have them for you next time it happens..
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Could you please elaborate a bit ? What does "it has no clue who I am" mean for you ? Sorry, I think I didn't understand your issue :) I would like to reproduce if I can.

However, I never had unexpected behaviour, besides known bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
This only happened once before so it is certainly a rare event and I'm not sure it is, in fact, an event.

The first time launching the app I enter nylimited, my xda handle, followed by my password. Subsequent launches no longer display that login screen or ask for the info - this is what I call 'remembering me' . Kinda like using cookies in a web browser.

Yesterday, when I launched the app I was again greeted with the login screen and had to reenter my id and password. This is what I meant by being forgotten.

I cannot make this behaviour happen at will and perhaps it is intended (to reautheticate periodically). I am now running the debug version so if it happens again I will be ready. BTW, I assume nobody wants the complete log, correct? When submitting logs is filtering on "xda" or similar text recommended?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks for clarification :)

If this happens to me, I will pay attention.
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
I have seen the forgotten username issue twice. Both times a couple of days after the app updates. That is the only time it happens to me, so I just ignored it.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This forgotten login problem (or similar) already happened to me with Tapatalk... Maybe it's not xda labs related, but server side ?

Btw, sorry to compare with Tapatalk. :D
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It technically could be entirely reliant on the backend actually. If your refresh token is rejected or invalid from the auth server it will force you to login again.

That said I had the app on 5 different devices with multiple versions, logins, etc so I if it was a common issue I'd probably have seen it by now.. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] TonikJDK:
You know, the last time it happened I know for sure there were backend problems.....
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
The forgotten login sometimes happens to me when I open labs with no/bad network connection available. Interestingly, after closing and reopening the app with enabled network it remembers my password again.

Doesn't happen on WiFi as well.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It didn't happen to me with Xda labs yet but yeah I think bad connection was what caused this forgotten login issue with Tapatalk too.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
Both of my occurrences were while on WiFi. Don't remember details of the first but the second one would not restore the login till I reinput my info again.
[Android Apps and Games] Trandaa:
Hi there,

I want to ask, if there is some settings for signature. I had noticed there's a option to turn it on/off, but no where to set it.

I'm sorry, if it was already mentioned here. I'm slightly lazy to go through all posts :angel:

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
You can set it on the XDA website in your user control panel. However, you still won't see it on your mobile device, as the labs app hides signatures to save data and space.

So I can't seem to find any mention of this via search, but emoji do not show up when quoted.?

Edit:

Interesting, throwing an emoji in quote tags works fine...
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Why use those? These should be pretty much enough
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Interesting, the emoji in my post shows perfectly in your quote...

Also, if those emoji were fully sufficient, the many other emoji would not exist, but I guess that's just a difference in people's use case.

EDIT: maybe it has to do with the use of multiple emoji back to back?

????

Testing multiple emoji theory.

EDIT: well, that's dead in the water...
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I know. I mean for communication in forums should be enough. Maybe not enough for a talk with a mate/gf/parents/arch enemy and etc. If those emoji were not sufficient new ones would've been added to xda forums, dont you think?
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
I personally disagree, but that's fine.
[Android Apps and Games] EvoWizz:
Hi :) Thanks for the last update :)

Feature requests : Would be great for devs of apps to be able to report that kind of reviews please.. (see the pic in the attachments) :/
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
emoji's are deleted when you reply from the website (check my screenshots)...but they are kept when you reply from Labs. That's why you can see a difference!
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
OK, I see. I don't really use the website anymore because Labs is a great replacement, so I probably would not have thought of that myself. ?
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Has it changed lately? Because I remeber when I quoted a post with emoji and then post it, the post gets stopped right before the quoted emoji and everything after the emoji (including my answer to post) got deleted. Is it possible this still happens with some other unsupported emojis (maybe from tapatalk or so)? Mostly after that I try to remove the emojis from the quoted post
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
That sounds like a great compliment! :highfive:

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I think it has changed on the website on the end of november or the beginning of december 2016. I think it was done to avoid breaking reply when a post ends by an emoji

---------- Post added at 16:45 ---------- Previous post was at 16:32 ----------

EDIT: I'm really not sure of what I'm saying about this new behaviour of auto-deletion of emoji's when using reply button on the website, maybe it has always been like this since emoji's support :)

...but it doesn't matter since we're talking about Labs here :)

[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This looks like the web forum is displaying the XDA CDN cache of the original image (The one you explicitly linked) where as Labs is trying to display the original image (which is a facebook image). The original is returning a 403 Forbidden error and thus not displaying in Labs, where as the web one still works because it's using our cache.

At the moment the API isn't returning the images cached from our CDN, and I'm not sure how the XDA image cache CDN works, maybe [MENTION=5136613]rwestergren[/MENTION] can shed some light on how web users get our CDN cache.
[Android Apps and Games] coal686:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]: This is a good idea. Do you or an admin have the ability to delete them, specifically that one if it's reported?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
At the moment only myself, bitpushr and rwestergren can delete reported reviews. In the future we could/should allow other moderators (forum mods, etc) to moderate them and implement a report review flag into the app itself.

Because Labs' backend is completely separate from the Forums, only a very select few people have access and there aren't proper interfaces in place to let anyone who essentially isn't a developer use them easily.

I've gotten feedback from a few mods saying they'd love to be involved with Labs if the possibility arose and I personally would love to have something like a small Labs team assembled to help deal with things like reported reviews, bad apps, etc. Again, this is my own personal opinion and like I said we would have to create a few interfaces to enable "Labs mods" access through the Labs backend.

As the userbase grows we're figuring out what we need to put more resources and effort into. The past few months I've been working on a few things other than Labs (that will eventually tie back into Labs) so that's why there's only been this recent release since November, but we're constantly having meetings to discuss Labs and what kind of role the app will have with XDA going forward. The good news is that the userbase continues to grow at a fast and steady pace so clearly there are a lot of people using the app.

As always, if anyone wants to discuss this kind of thing (as well as Android in general, development, etc), join us on IRC. It's linked in the OP. Even though at times I might not respond right away, I get every single message on IRC and not only will I respond, but other users in the channel will respond too!

With all the respect in the world, this sounds to me yet another example where differences in web (browser) view are thrown in as a reason for the XdaLabs display issues.

But just as I've posted a page or two back, why or how does Tapatalk do things so differently and can get those things displayed properly? Maybe it would be worth looking into...

I really wish I could use XdaLabs as my main Xda app -I really do. But those long lasting layout/display issues with multi-quotes, no (easy) in-line pictures and no spoiler/hide option working is what prevent me to do so. I use multi-quotes and multiple in-line pics all the time and I need them displayed properly.

Again, please don't take this the wrong way: I mean no disrespect here. I'm just disappointed that a recent trial of Xda Labs didn't 'solve' the very reasons I put it aside a long while ago.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
To sum it up, most of the issues with labs are due to the XDA One code. The tag rendering system is effectively broken and difficult to add to or modify, and the solution is a massive rewrite/refactoring that would take months of effort.

As for why Tapatalk uses the web URL for your example image, well that's easy. It uses a completely different API (based on the web forums).

The good news is multiquotes across multiple pages is on the radar, but the rest will require more time or more resources working on Labs. Inline attachments (images) is not possible without API changes (as are a lot of features people want) and I simply can't do those things myself and getting the backend changes done isn't easy because XDA at the end of the day is run by a very small team.

I'm the only one working on the app itself and half the code (again, most of the bugs) wasn't even written by me. Things get fixed and added but there are limits to how much a single person can get done and it's not exactly a fair comparison when you're comparing an app coded by 1 guy with the flagship product of an entire company (Tapatalk).

I didn't take what you said as disrespectful, but believe me that the issues we suffer from are very much on my mind and things I would love to fix.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:

Hi,

A couple of hours ago I created a new DEVDB thread for the Resurrection Remix port to kccat6, https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-samsung-galaxy-t3534296

While the thread shows up in the web browser just fine, it does not show up in XDA Labs, neither in the parent forum, nor in the "Participated threads" section.

If I use Search, the thread shows up, but when selecting it I get a toast message "Cannot parse thread URL".

I've tested this on 1.1.0b as well as on 1.1.0.1b with the same result.

Is this related to the https switch or is this something which can be rectified by a moderator?

Thanks in advance,
