It's not the right place to ask this. Also and preferably, you can search yourself how to do that.

But, I'm gonna guide you anyway :)

1- First off, install XDA Labs debug version.

2- If you are rooted, use a third party app like for instance MatLog (from Playstore). Or use adb commands (HERE is a guide, it works for unrooted or rooted devices)

You have to reproduce your issue while recording logs with one of the methods mentionned in step 2.

Then post logs here as attachment or hastebin link to your log file + lots of details about your issue and device!

Also please read the whole OPs, here was the answer. for everyone, here is a reminder (quote from blk_jack):

---------- Post added at 11:58 ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 ----------

Did you check your XDA control panel settings on the website? In particular Mention System options?
[Android Apps and Games] Soneliem:
I am such a noob. Thanks for all that! It was just one setting! We should be able to change these settings in the XDA labs app. And edit your details. Sorry for all the trouble I caused.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
No worries, the more important is you fixed your problem and at the same time confirmed XDA Labs is not "Full of bugs" ;)
[Android Apps and Games] andre0005:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] Could you add a black background option to the app? I use the app a lot so that would safe a lot of battery. Also wouldn't burn my eyes at night.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Planned and written in OP, maybe not a priority though AFAIK.
[Android Apps and Games] andre0005:
Yeah i know. I asked a couple months back too and got a reply. Just wanted to know his current opinion about adding it as we had a bunch of updates since then.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
We can't guess you've already asked. The way you asked for it in your previous post was just like you didn't read the OP. So I responded accordingly ;)
[Android Apps and Games] andre0005:
Sorry. Should've worded that better.
[Android Apps and Games] indestructible master:
Enable moving app to SD card
[Android Apps and Games] EVOuser94:
Okay so, feature request.

We currently only have option to add images on initial post. Can we make it where we can add images on edit too? I know it is 100% possible to do via the advanced editor on browser, but even in browser with basic editor we only are able to add images on initial post. I did do a search and didn't find this request anywhere else, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
It's actually a bug, blk_jack knows about it and has assured that he will have it fixed once there is a way out. Just a matter of time :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Not possible at the moment, please check API limitations list in my post #8.
[Android Apps and Games] EVOuser94:
Guess I searched for the wrong keywords ???? thanks for clarifying though!
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Maybe you searched for the right keywords man but better read first page of the thread before searching ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Soneliem:
Cheers man. Good luck with your other bugs! ;) Just one request: could you test the mention system for me? Like the other post.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
[MENTION=7424191]Sonel Prabhakaran[/MENTION]

Done :)
[Android Apps and Games] Soneliem:
Working like a charm. Thanks for all the help.
[Android Apps and Games] Dzepar:
Hi,

I have crash report.

I was using Labs and i changed to Mozilla when i return to Labs from multitasking it crashed. :)

Maybe it's just one time thing coz i can't reproduce it again. Anyway here's log. :)

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
I have a question about the search feature.....say I search for the keywords "download failed", the search results only return posts with those keywords and not posts contain quotes with those words inside. I did a bit of searching, read the OP, and Wood Man's issue post, so sorry if I missed the answer. But is this an issue? Or intended behavior?
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
Please, add Rounded Icon and App Shortcuts for Android 7.1+
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I'd like to use this to replace Tapatalk (at least for XDA) but I find notifications are quite delayed and sometimes never show up. Why might that be?

Secondary question, is it really necessary to run a service to get push notifications?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Hey man, missed you at the toronto android meetup the other day!

Starting w/ MM and continuing in N, Android puts apps into standby mode (over and above Doze). This affects any app that runs in the background, especially if it's not used often. Mark from Commonsware talks about his concerns here. There are also issues with Doze where Android coming out of Doze doesn't properly notify apps on MM all the time and so the app has to wait for a network change or a keepalive timeout before it reconnects. There are google issues tracking it that I don't have time to dig up now, but it's annoying for sure.

This affects Labs because Labs uses MQTT (with a persistent service) instead of GCM (we don't use any Google services in Labs for obvious reasons). One way of making sure notifications get through quickly is to toggle Ignore Optimizations for XDA Labs in the App Settings menu. The persistent service that Labs uses is extremely lean on battery (and memory). I've written more about it here.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Backend related.

It's not something related to XDA Labs app, the search engine is the same used than on the xda website. This search engine changed recently. If you ask this, I assume that you think it worked the way you described above before the search engine was changed? In my opinion this is not an issue.

You'd better ask here instead since your question is related to the backend: [All XDA Members] Requests to Moderators and Admins
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Thanks for the info! Yes I suppose standby could be the culprit. I will turn off Battery Optimization for Labs and see if it helps. Even as a secondary market app, you think there would be an issue with using GCM? Gotta love how they "push" GCM so much (even gets around doze?) whereas other background network activity is heavily handicapped. I didn't know there were also bugs associated with doze/standby.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
^^^ This should be added to the FAQ in post #2 since Flyview's question was already asked a bunch of times. :)
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It's not that GCM would be an issue in that sense -- it's that we don't wanna tie into using any Google services since a whole bunch of users don't use Play Services full stop (or want Google tracking them in yet another app). Google pushing GCM to be the one true way of waking up your app (!) is understandable considering a lot of apps DO abuse wakelock and drain battery that way, but I prefer to just not use crappy apps, rather than have Android dictate the only way to do something. God forbid an app wants to use websockets or MQTT. A lot of apps that have chat services that use websockets and such have been negatively affected and I think many just use GCM as a wake tool rather than a way to send all push notifications.

Fun fact, you can't even publish an app to the Play Store that includes the permission to launch the INTENT to open the App "Optimizations" page (Google will take down any non-Google app that tries). I've considered still putting it into Labs anyway and trying to walk the user through the process, since it's not on the Play Store, but then you open up a whole can of worms by telling users to force Labs to "not" be "optimized". Clever wording on their part I guess.

The network switch bug is definitely awful. There are ways around it using JobScheduler (which only works on MM/N and you have to include all the old code to get it working on other versions of Android).

Android app dev can be really frustrating :(
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Yea I remember looking into that intent for one of my own apps. So just now I got an email notification for your post, Tapatalk followed almost instantly and still nothing from Labs!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I just looked into this myself actually and it appears that our push notification servers are having issues connecting. Will follow it up with our backend guys tomorrow :)
[Android Apps and Games] gascomm:
network error?

hmm, XDA labs itself seems to be working as expected but the forum component is throwing up a network error - where everything else is working perfectly on my fire hd6 running cm11.

any ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] celoxocis:
Yes I'm having the same issue.

I can't login into the forum (old school registration not gmail login)

i keep getting "Invalid username/password" even though the same username/password works for logging-in via webbrowser.

I love XDA-Labs (can't stand tapatalk)
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
I am having the same thing, lasts for several hours ago now. Whenever I open the XDA Forum app it just force reload but always return Network Connection Error. http://xdaforums.com/ on my pc chrome browser can be accessed but with terribly slow loading speed while it is lightening fast when come to G+ or Facebook.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

Any idea what's going on?
[Android Apps and Games] Punraz_:
yeah me too . got same error that it cant connect
[Android Apps and Games] robcore:
Phew. I thought it was my kernel build!
[Android Apps and Games] :
There's a server issue at the moment, but is being addresses. Xda labs must be affected. Just give it some time. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Matt07211:
Was it served maintenance gone wrong? Would you mind telling us (if/when you get the details) about what happens, please :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Gremlins, possibly mice, not sure. Only know what I posted above. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Matt07211:
Don't pour water into gremlins okay, it will not end well.

If you do figure out the problem, will you post it or just move on ?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Not sure why you want to know details but the server issue we've had is not related to this thread since the website itself was down a few hours ago. :)

BTW, connection with XDA Labs is now back :)
[Android Apps and Games] Co.Tibi:
I still can't log in using xda lab...
[Android Apps and Games] Matt07211:
Yep I know it's back becuse I am posting from it, also I was just untreated in what caused the problem. (I like to know the technical detail ;) ). Sorry if it's bothering you.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It works for me. I've logged OFF then IN and it works.

It works here

Not bold:

[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Now the problem is solved :victory:

Labs working fine :D
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It's not bothering me at all. I'm just saying you'll maybe not have the server issue details in xda labs thread, better ask somewhere else since it seems to be a more general problem: the xda website is/was also affected. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Matt07211:
Yes, only asked here becuse Darth had posted about the server troubles here, if it weren't here then I wouldn't have posted. But it's getting late for me so I'll just go to bed and forget about it :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] indestructible pro:
On my phone it dont want to download the content. Forums and news. Also cant open pages it says " cant parse URL "
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Welcome to XDA!

It's always needed to:

> Read OP and search before posting

If no answer found, please provide:

> Device info and Android version

> XDA Labs version

> More detailed description with exemples, Screenshots, steps to reproduce, etc.

> Provides logs (please learn yourself how to) if reproductible issue

About the "can't parse URL", we need you to post some examples of links.

[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
1. Don't quote the OP

2. What's "don't post the" supposed to mean?

3. Don't spam the thread. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] nhatquang31:
Sorry my english
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
That's cool bro. Thought you were spamming.

I assume you have something to ask/report.

But before you do, make sure you read the OP. And search.

If you don't find what you're looking for, then I'm sure someone would be glad to assist. Welcome to xda btw ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Thanks for the launcher shortcuts update!

It seems My device doesn't show up for me. Did you remove it again, or is it a dynamic shortcut? (Which is not supported by Nova on Marshmallow)

Also, could you plase upload your wallpaper? :p :D
[Android Apps and Games] jacky03:
good
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
No "My device" here either.

AOSP 6.0, Nova Launcher 5.0b8.
[Android Apps and Games] pbeckmann:
Hey,

using the same Nova Version i've the Shortcut. But i'm using 7.1 in Oneplus 3.

Greetings
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
strange.. I'm thinking it's Nova related because it works on 7.1 with both Nova and Pixel Launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] gcounts:
Loving XDA labs!!! So intuitive and well organized. Thanks blk_jack and others who continue to make our XDA experience better and better.
[Android Apps and Games] schwarzerfleck:
The new update works perfectly! Thanks for the feature. Is there any way to customize what is shown when long-pressing the icon?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Not ATM. What kinds of shortcuts would you be interested in seeing?

BTW what launcher are you using with what version of Android? I notice My Device showing up for you on what seems like MM?
[Android Apps and Games] elandroido:
Fun fact: you cannot download labs from within labs. It just says something like "cannot parse forum URL, open in browser" and jumps right to forum start page.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The issue comes from devdb links not being part of the API (and as such failing when Labs tries to open them). The problem is if you set XDA Labs to open ALL http://xdaforums.com/ links, even if Labs tries to launch the browser (which it's trying to do), Android will default it back into Labs, which is the error you're seeing. A hack around this would be if Labs tried to find all browsers and then prompted you manually to choose one for you to launch the URL in. Or if Labs just opened the URL inside a webview or something.

You can avoid this by not having Labs be the default for every xdaforums.com link.
[Android Apps and Games] elandroido:
Yeah I assumed that the behavior is due to labs being the default app for forum links. Well I think I have to live with it, since it is quite annoying to have labs not as default and tap on "use labs only this time" for every link. Anyhow I pretty much like the WebView idea, so maybe a future release will bring that feature. Thanks for the nice app!
[Android Apps and Games] schwarzerfleck:
Nope, it's the Pixel Launcher on Android 7.1 (via CM14.1 for the i9300).

I'd love to see not only the forum shortcut but also a (if possible) shortcut to one or to threads that I can set for myself. Maybe also for mentions.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Ah okay, my bad on thinking it was MM.

You may already be aware, but you can create desktop shortcuts to threads or forums.

I know it's not the same as a shortcut contained inside another icon, but it's something.

It's the top right icon in the attached screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
Loving the update, thank you so much!

This update will be available in the play store today too? (I only use XDA Forums)
[Android Apps and Games] elandroido:
Why is everyone talking bout an update... Cannot see it nowhere... Is it only beta channel?
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
I do not know if it's a beta release. I just downloaded it on APKMirror
[Android Apps and Games] elandroido:
IC... Checked it, seems to be beta... Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] satanas17:
It is... Versions ending with "b" are debug versions...
[Android Apps and Games] schwarzerfleck:
Thanks mate :) a good start!
[Android Apps and Games] Freewander10:
So this is confirmation that we won't be getting highlighted links? :(

Not to annoy you, or question your mighty developer wisdom, but, is there no way you could change your mind about this? For the benefit of the minority who are a bit *insecure* about their clicks?

Remember MD is a WIP so there's a possibility it could be implemented at some point in the future (and you can beat them to it by implementing it in labs :D)

And also, Android too is always evolving.

If we were to use Android "as is" then there would probably be no need for this great website. But we are tinkerers. That is why we flash ROMS, and endure Touchwiz. Because we want more than what *stock* Android offers. So let us once again defy Google. And "make android great" Lol

Disclaimer: I'm not a Trump supporter (I'm no one's supporter for that matter. I'm not even American :p)

Thank you for your consideration :good:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
You don't need to do any of that. If you opt into test builds in the settings it'll automatically alert you and let you update in app.
[Android Apps and Games] Draygon:
This app is damn well made!

I wish you would replace Tapatalk with it and support multiple forums in future. :)
[Android Apps and Games] guitardoc64:
It would be great, but this one is going to be an xda-developers exclusive. I asked the same question awhile back.
[Android Apps and Games] robcore:
I sincerely hope not to overstep my boundaries in making a request. Could you please include xda community apps in the general (far right) section of the forum browser? Take care, and thanks for your hard work : )
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:
You can subscribe it though.

I am just suggesting a workaround, not indifferent with your suggestion.

P's XDA Community Apps is not in the web-version of XDA, too. So I think this not only a suggest to Labs, it is rather a suggestion to the general XDA forum.
[Android Apps and Games] toole:
Please dev, I've got one important request. Would you please include an option to be able to get notifications automatically on all threads one follows or participated in, so we don't miss out on anything going in in the threads just Like its being implemented on the tapatalk app.I'll be very grateful for a feedback. Thanks a lot .
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Are there are plans to make the app comply with the ignored users list? It's not on the roadmap at the start of the thread, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

There are a few objectionable users on XDA whose postings I can easily tune out of the desktop browser experience, but this makes it all the more annoying to be confronted with them in the app still.

Other than that, this is a terrific app that actually provides a better UX than using a browser. Keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
updated to the latest version, got the shortcut but the icon not changed to circle.

btw, I'm on cm14.1 alpha, maybe the circle icon only change on stock 7.1 ?
[Android Apps and Games] Ja_som:
[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

I have a s mall "bug" report...

In the new launcher shortcut "My device" is not translated, it is in the side menu in app...

Do you use other string for it?
[Android Apps and Games] pbeckmann:
Hey,

if you hold the forums sub icon of XDA labs and place it somewhere on your home screen you should see a circled icon.

The normal icons don't changed AFAIK.

Greetings
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Try putting Labs back on your Home screen? The other apps aren't circular either (Play Store etc).

It's another string, I'll update the crowdin files today
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
I even tried to reinstall the app but no luck.

Can't find any latest version of play store than the one I'm using now.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I'm not sure what you mean. The version on the play store doesn't have round icons or shortcuts (yet), the only version that does is the latest test build.

I didn't want you to reinstall the app, I just wanted you to remove the shortcut icon and put it back on your Home screen.

If all your Google app icons aren't circular then it's not Labs, it's your ROM or Launcher that's at fault.
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
I mean the latest version of play store v.7.1.15I, don't have circle icon.

the app I reinstalled was xda labs, no circle icon.

not all Google apps already updated to have the circle icon, only messenger so far I have seen have it.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Attached is the pixel launcher. Notice how they're all circles?
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
that is why I'm asking before, maybe they only works on stock 7.1 ?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I can't speak to custom ROMs. If CM hasn't implemented it properly yet that's on them.
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
I suppose that is the problem, cm14.1 is still on alpha build and so many things haven't implemented yet.

btw, big thanks for the app, love it.
[Android Apps and Games] myrul:
If you want pixel circle icon. May i suggest you to install pixel icon pack (custom icons) at least for now. It pretty similar in appearance. I use it in cm12 and it gets the job done.
[Android Apps and Games] pixel0:
Xda labs open every activity separately. Why?

Xda forum activity loads when I click it from nav menu but it should not as app is already running.And it is shown separately in recent apps screen.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This is intentional and by design and mentioned in this thread a number of times.

It's to allow users to load the forums directly without the Labs section in memory.
[Android Apps and Games] schrickz:
CM Theme Engine not implemented yet on CM 14.1, that's not an option.
[Android Apps and Games] CosimoSguanci:
With XDA Labs I'm not able to insert images in my posts. I get a "No Network" error, even if I'm correctly connected :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
No logs, no help.
[Android Apps and Games] sultan1419:
Bro you need to add min Android version for each app and xposed module so we can download right verison. As i downloaded pixel launcher which showed problem parsing package.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
:rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The parsing error you have could be not related to the Android version you use. Since you don't provide enough info, not easy to answer you.

I don't know how APPS work about Android version compatibility in Labs but I can respond you about other points:

> About Android version filter in xposed categories (answer from blk_jack): http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post66464766

> I know it's not directly related to your request about Android version but you ALSO have to know Chipset/Architecture issue is well known problem of XDA Labs at the moment. There's something about this in post #2 and #3.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
High RAM usage for the push service :( Why might this be?

Edit: After opening a bunch of other RAM hungry apps it got reduced to 13mB. Not sure if this is because it was restarted by the system or not.
[Android Apps and Games] MrWasdennnoch:
That has already discussed many times, that's completely normal.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
MrWasdennnoch is right, related post HERE (end of the post).
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
Thanks. Yea I realized later that the activities must be running in the same process as the service, hence the large size from a recent open of the actual app.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION] If it's advantageous that the service isn't frequently killed (and restarted), you might want to run the service in a separate process from the activities. That way when Android reclaims memory it'll just kill the process hosting the activities and leave the otherwise small service alone. That's what I do with my apps.
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
That's what happens with Labs too. LMK only removes Labs activites, not the service.
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
LMK? Last I checked this the entire process needs to be killed to clear memory.
