[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
They're not actually, but they are cached in the local app database. This means that list (and any unread status) isn't even fetched from the server. It's also why it loads so fast once you click on a top level forum.

It's been this way since XDA One and while I could change it, it would decrease speed and add an unnecessary layer of complexity on what seems like a fringe edge case.

If you want to mark an entire sub forum as read your best bet is to subscribe to it and do it through that list.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
In my case I prefer speed :p

The current behaviour is OK for me but it's just my opinion.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Yes, I did mean forums, not threads.

Thanks for the explanation, [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION], and for the suggested workaround (subscribe to the forum).

I'd rather you kept things fast and clean, rather than bloated and slow. If I care about a forum enough to want to mark all threads read, then I clearly should subscribe to it.

I appreciate the thought and care both you and [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION] give to your responses. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] GayCasper:
Idk if anyone has mentioned this or not but I am having problems downloads apks from the labs. I'm on a s6 Edge SM-G925T
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
What's the problem looks like exactly? Could you give us more info?

Can you provide Logs? Error message? Screenshots? Are you sure it happens with every apps or just a few?

Do you have download manager enabled? Downloads start or not?
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
You sound exactly like Ino Yamanaka.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks for report. I don't know her but I'll have a look into it. :p
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Aha! Just when I got the quote notification. I tapped it and got to the quotes tab. It didn't go away. Then I opened your quote and read it. It didn't go away.

Is this intended behaviour. Normally the notification goes away when you open the app through it. Or even otherwise, sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It definitely should, but I dunno what version of the app you're on or what version of Android you're running or what URL the logs you got are at for me to look at.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
:/ You quoted me and I tapped the notification again. But this time it disappeared like a good boy. Just to test again, could you quote me once more?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hoping you have prepared logcat record before this quote.

Also you should answer blk_jack's question about the version of XDA Labs and Android.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Latest debug of course. I'm a law abiding Labizen. Android 6.0.1. Custom ROM - Resurrection Remix. And yes, I was ready with the logs, but it only happened that one time. The next two times it behaved normally.

Sorry guys. False alarm.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
I'd suggest you still send the logs as they may identify the problem even if it's only occasional.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I deleted Catlog literally 20 seconds ago. :crying:

Note to self: Keep logs no matter what.

Edit: Installed again. Quote me, please?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
:highfive:

---------- Post added at 22:47 ---------- Previous post was at 22:43 ----------

Forgot to say: next time such issue you can't reproduce on demand occurs, open immediately your logcat app and save logs (not the record mode but the save option): it will save what happened around x minutes (30 min. max I think) before you take logs. Then, the moment of the issue will be in the log file.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Ahh, I know what it was. If you tap on All Quotes/All Mentions/All PMs (instead of the actual notification content) you go to the list instead of the post. That action button doesn't dismiss the notification like clicking through does. I'll add the notification dismiss code into the next build.
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Ok, I assume there's logic for that...but why? For instance, while top level device forums have no posts, xPosed General does and it's unable to be marked as read
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
API limitation, possibly linked to vbulletin's backend. Xposed General is considered a top level forum though.
[Android Apps and Games] GayCasper:
I can not download or update in Labs
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
I can ;)
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Me too :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

Don't you think it should be better to rename the "forum search" feature of navdrawer (1st screenshot) into "Search Plus"? Just to avoid confusion with the other "find a forum" feature in forums tabs (2nd screenshot)?
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
I have hip hop data pack so when I update xda app from the app it downloads half way & pauses. If I want to cancel/resume the download what I should do? Checked in downloads manager but it's invisible
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You seem to have a bad or an unstable connection.

Sorry but there is no way to resume downloads and this is true for XDA Labs in-app update, apps and xposed modules. Second part of THIS POST from blk_jack should help you to understand.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
Yes I have bad signal often. I know the issue(not exactly bcoz in app downloads use download manager) . Just checked myself about this . anyway Beta changes are great
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

In v1.0.8.9b, why did you choose to remove the "Find a forum" search icon from subscribed and participated tabs? What's the reason if you don't mind?
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
That search wasn't a "find forum", but a "find device" search. So I'm guessing that it doesn't make sense to have it on subscribed and participated tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Oh OK thanks, now I do realize it was only for devices search before. But it doesn't explain why we could not have a quick access to "Find a forum" from every tabs. It needs 2 actions to reach this search button now. That's why I ask this :)
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The reason is because the context is all wrong, even if having an extra shortcut might at first seem convenient (and why not?).

That search icon was there in the first place because it was in XDA One. With XDA One, the only tabs showing in that section were All, General, Top and New. All, you guessed it, Forum lists. Subscribed Forums & Threads were in their own section.

The "Find a forum" (formerly Find a Device, it doesn't just find devices, it finds top level forums (i.e. Xposed) too) search returns Forums, not threads. Having it at the top of a list of Threads doesn't make sense.

It also aligns the UX with that of XDA Labs. While changing tabs in XDA Labs, the actionbar reflects the actions for that particular tab. When you're in News it doesn't show the Apps/Xposed search icon or the Block apps icon, etc.

This also opens up the contextual opportunity for us to add icons that are particular to each tab. We could add filter options for Subscribed Threads (sort by options too, etc)

Hope that helps explain :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It does. If this change is to prepare future filters addition for each tabs, it's crystal clear now.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
I did a search and read the OP and issues list but I can't find any mention of being able to add attachments in PMs.

Is this functionality in the pipeline or did I miss something?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
You can't send PM attachments on the web site, so some major changes would have to be made to vBulletin itself, let alone the Forums API, etc first before that functionality would come to Labs.
[Android Apps and Games] komer:
I just now realised that Labs is in beta state. ????

There is a feature missing or a bug. When I go to subscribed forums, the ones that have new/updated threads inside are bolded. But, when I enter one of those bolded forums, sub-forums are all regular text. So I have to enter all of them one by one to find new/updated threads. That's time consuming.

Is that normal/expected behavior?

Old XDA app didn't have that issue.

If you don't understand what I'm saying, I won't blame you. English isn't my mother tongue. Also, I don't find anything about "the issue" in the OP. So, that's that. :angel:

Chears! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] [MENTION=4752536]FLooDW[/MENTION]

Probably a bug, two [MENTION=2911853]BillGoss[/MENTION] thanked the same post at the same time?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The origin of the problem is not an XDA Labs bug since we have a glitch on the website too: we have 6 thanks but 5 users listed on the website (check my screenshot). I guess there is one user which is not displayed for any reasons. A mysterious member :p

I don't know if XDA Labs could handle a filter for this "mysterious member" or not... to avoid displaying twice a member (like BillGoss :)) in this case of probable back end bug.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
> If you talk about subscribed sub forums within the Subscribed Forums list, it works without any problem. Check screenshots #1 and #2.

> If you talk about the list of sub forums going from a subcribed top level forum (Check screenshot #3), yes there is no unread status in the sub forum list (Check screenshot #4) but it works as intended, quoted from blk_jack from HERE "this list isn't even fetched from the server".

If you want unread status on sub forums, you have to subscribe to them (as said HERE)
[Android Apps and Games] komer:
Thank you! I was talking about screenshot 4.

I see it was discussed before. Well, I disagree with the decision but I respect it.

Tnx again! Chears! :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
@ all

In case you don't read posts from FLooDW anymore, it's normal, I've changed my username into Wood Man ;)
[Android Apps and Games] powerpoint45:
This is a follow up to my original issue above^^ I found out that what needs to be done is from the console, click the app, find the latest version of the app on the console, scroll down to the bottom, uncheck "disabled", save and republish. That fixed my issue.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thank you so much for the feedback. I've removed issue #40. It's now in fixed problems list. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I wonder, could you change your nickname to one that someone already uses?

Perhaps that may be what threw off the system.

And I do not mean that two users with the nickname of bill goss thanked [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION].
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
No, it's xda administrators who change the username and they check this (the member himself is supposed to check too) when a member requests it and I guess the system doesn't allow twice the same username whatever happens.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Edited

Hi.

I have a CONNECTIVITY issue today. I remember some people had this in the past.

I've tried to reboot my phone and also to log off and log in. The same problem happens.
[Android Apps and Games] Sheetzie03:
Thanks, I guess I'm not used to the newer layout and way it works and prob will never be, which is why Im still using those other apps, but that's ok. Good luck and thanks again for the jelp
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
What exactly disturb you in the layout and the way it works? If you could give precise feedback, it'd be appreciated :)
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I'm sure you're not alone. Change is scary.
[Android Apps and Games] lu99ke:
Hi Guys,

Galaxy 7 Edge ... Exynos version ... Running stock AU software...

Download the labs apk file from the website... Then get "can't open file" toast message... Have def checked that unknown sources is enabled... Works fine on all my other devices - including galaxy tab s2 so can't be a Knox thing...

Any hints?

Cheers

Luke
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
You have a problem with your package installer, nothing related to XDA labs.

Try force stopping package installer and clearing data of the package installer, also you can always use adb install.
[Android Apps and Games] lu99ke:
Boom!! Thank you! Fixed
[Android Apps and Games] ABSathe:
Want to request a feature

(Sorry if it was already asked and denied)

In quotes / mention area .. would it be possible to add bubbles like we have in WhatsApp ?

Screenshots attached

So if I have 3 quotes and 2 mentions

It would appear like

Quote(bubble3) Mention(bubble2)

[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
[MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION]

Just checking if quoting works for usernames with spaces.

Edit: Hey, it does! Nice.
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
As long as there are no one nicknamed Wood.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
As a failsafe, quotes could be implemented so that XDA knows to parse the whole string before searching the user ID. Like:

@ "Wood Man I'm A Big Fan"

for a user who is apparently a big fan of Wood Man.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
Can we have an option of arranging tabs in app
[Android Apps and Games] worktorest:
It'll be nice if threads can show how long ago the last reply was, while in the forum view. Awesome app. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I've already suggested it here: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post68475104

But I'm not sure it would be possible since it's not done this way on the website. We'll see what blk_jack thinks.

---------- Post added at 09:36 ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 ----------

We already have the "how long ago" in threads list. I don't understand, where do you want this info? Could you please show us in a screenshot?
[Android Apps and Games] worktorest:
Over here. With it, we'll know how active the forum is. Just like in threads list.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK got it. XDA Labs currently shows up the creation date in this kind of tab.

Yeah it should be good, I vote for it if the API allows it. The website shows up the latest post date when we're browsing forums threads list (other than subscribed or participated threads list where there is already the latest post date in xda labs) so I guess it's doable.
[Android Apps and Games] ram4ufriends:
If you visit a thread which you have not subscribed, it always takes you to first page of the thread...XDA Legacy and XDA Portal remembers the last visited page even for no subscribed threads and takes you there next time when you visit the page...
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, you can't go to the last unread with unsubscribed threads. For now, you can just go to the first page or LAST page, you can change this behaviour in Labs settings.

However, blk_jack said it may be possible to make this happens (go to the last unread with unsubscribed threads) in the future. He had to work on it but I guess it's not a priority at the moment.

You can read his posts about this HERE and HERE.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Am I the only one with the connectivity issue currently?

If it's the case, [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION], do you think it has something to deal with my username change done yesterday? Or just a coincidence?
[Android Apps and Games] Trafalgar Square:
Wood Man :laugh: :good:

I don't have issues right now.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Going to last unread page in unsubscribed threads was added a few versions ago actually. :)

I sent the connectivity issues thing along to Randy yesterday and he mentioned how it was because of your changed name (and that it was backend related).

Wish I could help but I think it's something on his end. :(
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Do you mean you did that below recently? In a 1.0.8.xb test build ?

Quoted from you:

When I mentioned I may have found a workaround, what I meant was there was another API endpoint I think I can use (That XDA One / Labs hasn't been using).

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

It seems I'm REALLY a mad tester. My intention was not to break the back end software by changing my username :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yea it was a few builds ago (maybe 3?)

I'm not sure why the username thing is an issue so I can't speculate.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
So after blk_jack's answers, I have to correct myself. You can go to last unread page for unsubscribed threads but you have to install latest test build v1.0.8.9b and as I said previously you have to go in Labs Settings and set "last page". Please report if needed.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Are you madder than me?

If I could, I would have tried to modify Labs, to show me updates to apps that are not on Labs, if only for a whim (and to check the limits of the API).
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK, you win.
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
I changed my username, and I get the connectivity issues too. Had it also a day before I changed.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:
[MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION]

Well I haven't changed my username, and I don't know if this is a connectivity issue, but when I tried to download an app (neutriNote) , it said it does not exist, we're working on fixing the connection something.. and the app disappeared from the marketplace.

The most likely explanation seems that the app was removed from labs.

Other than that I have no connectivity issues.
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
I haven't experienced any connection issues, it's just that labs gives me this error in the sidebar.
[Android Apps and Games] Efreak2004:
I realize that the source code isn't available yet... But I've tapped the link for it in the about section at least 4 times now before remembering that it's unavailable. Please either remove the link until it is available, or add a notice that its not available at release time. Even redirecting it to this thread would be better than a 404 page...
[Android Apps and Games] celoxocis:
I just noticed that the news articles haven't been updated in two days in the XDA lab.

I cleaned cache and tried again but it's the same.

Verified on two separate phones.

Also there is no way to force refresh of that page by swiping down.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
Same here, Neutrinote stable 1.9 disappearing, alpha 1.6.5 is fine (the app still shows up in search results).

Other than that, everything is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
We don't have the same issue.

In my case, it's not just a "connectivity" error message in navdrawer, I also can't download apps in Labs store (the download button spins forever). I've previously attached logs for this donwload issue HERE.. It began the same day I've changed my username.

---------- Post added at 11:19 ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 ----------

Did you try to download apps from Labs store? If we have the same problem, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do that.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It's normal, the Labs portion will refresh automatically when the app resumes. you can pull-down-to-refresh to refresh in the Navigation Drawer.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] explained it HERE.
[Android Apps and Games] pwild:
might that be because there are no new news posts? For me on website the newest one is the same as in app and that's 2days old.
[Android Apps and Games] celoxocis:
Now that you mentioned it. It could be. I think it is the order of appearance that confused me. It looked like there are newer posts on the website due to a different order of articles.

Then the order of XDA labs.
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
Hmm, I almost never use the labs part... Checked now and the news didn't refresh and downloads didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
The news refreshes fine for me.

The latest post is from two days ago, about software being the main part of the Pixels.

[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
[MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION] it's definitely tied to my account change, I have it across all my devices.
[Android Apps and Games] knpk13:

This would bring it in line with the web version.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I agree, but it's a limitation of the API (it doesn't have the sent alias). It's on our list of backend nice-to-haves but there's no timeline for it at the moment.

I've found a little bug in the in-thread search results UI. It's not the first time it happens for me and I don't know how to reproduce, sorry.

Here is the bug:

Sometimes, the next page of search results doesn't load, it spins forever (1st screenshot) UNTIL we scroll up and down again and then the next page loads (2nd screenshot). It's kind of "kick start" to make the next page appears.

Here are logs: http://hastebin.com/avemaqiqin.swift (you can check my search test around 6:40 AM)

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You'll need to provide logs. It sounds like a back end issue.

You are correct. The only thread I can find is for rooting and it seems that was never worked out. There is no development for that device.
[Android Apps and Games] Gauravtiger:
So faster find custom roms please
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
I think that's out of the scope of the program. If you can't root it are there any custom ROMs? Maybe I misunderstood your question but the program has no control over what's found for a device on the site itself.
[Android Apps and Games] ABSathe:
You better try compiling roms for your device yourself

Good luck
[Android Apps and Games] ibrokemypie:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] any chance of making back button go back to referring app rather than just close? when opening an xda link from browser igt would be great to hit back to get back to the browser like with other apps which pick up urls
