There is an option within the Labs setting for anonymous analytics. This option can be turned off. My guess (and it is a guess) is that this is related. What's included in those analytics I don't know.
[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
Yeah that wouldn't explain what is exactly happening. Analytic and monetization libraries shouldn't be able to simply circumvent the Android permission model by using its own way to grab your location. I'm assuming, if anything, it grabs the last known location from somewhere on the device but I have no idea if that is so or if it's possible.

Also, I don't have analytics on when I test.

Regardless, it's enough concern that I'd thing it's something we should look for in our network traffic.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
I also have the delay in the News Feed. The latest posts I have are the two Snapchat Alpha articles from two days ago. Refreshing manually doesn't do anything.

How to support otg on symphony i60 ??
[Android Apps and Games] strongst:
You're on the wrong thread, your question should be posted here https://xdaforums.com/android/help
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Update to this. News Feed refreshed automatically when I opened the app just now, but I only have 7 new articles. The latest one is PUB Gfx+ from 16 hours ago.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I have 9 newer articles than you on my end. I have opened the app just now.
[Android Apps and Games] NE0HP:
To be honest, I have stopped looking at the news articles on xda labs since it doesn't load articles as quickly as it should be, may be due to the various reasons as mentioned on some of previous comments. Sorry to say but I'm seeing all the updated news articles on Discord without any delay!
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Lucky you! :cool:

I'm only seeing the PUB Gfx+ article as the latest one from 19 hrs ago. And that's after clearing the app from Recents and clearing the app cache. And my timezone is +10 GMT.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
It's still PUB Gfx for me. Something is definitely wrong, man. Refresh (both auto and manual) has some sort of built in delay now.

BillGoss says he has the same article but my time zone is +5:30 GMT, so it may not be related to time zones.
[Android Apps and Games] wewenk:
Me too.. It's been a week..
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
There's a normal delay on Labs explained here:

But I don't mean there's no issue, it's obvious there's something wrong since we don't have the same feed, as I said earlier. But it's just that I can't do anything myself. I'm not XDA Labs or backend dev.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Yeah but you are The Forest Keeper! Thanks for that! ????
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
UPDATE: News Feed auto refreshed and now last article is Nokia 6.1+ and 5.1+ India launch posted 25 minutes ago. Is this the latest article? If so, the problem might have been fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] wewenk:
It fixed. Like some days ago, I forced log out. Then relogin will be fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Yep, that did it for me too. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I didn't do anything - But it's refreshed the News & like someone else posted it's now showing news from ~ 6 hours ago - But getting a Network error trying to upload the screen shot - But - No worries ? ?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I had one myself today but it worked on 2nd attempt.

Side note: picture attachments are still loading very slowly on both the website and on XDA Labs.

Same for threads loading time using XDA Labs, very slow at times like it's the case since a few weeks /months. [MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION].
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Yup. Spoke too soon. It's still the same Nokia article for me from 6 hours ago now.

Logging out and then back in didn't fix it for me.

Edit: No change 6 hours later.
[Android Apps and Games] speedbirdengineer:
Something is terribly wrong with this app. The older versions were working better before.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The issues we're talking about these last few days/weeks (news articles not always refreshed, long threads loading delay and slow image attachements loading times), are not related to the app itself, it's all about the back end (pls [MENTION=4592755]coal686[/MENTION], do not play with words again :p :D)

The latest version is from March and those issues listed above were not present.

I can assure you older version of XDA Labs have more bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
To be clear the "back end" includes elements that may not directly effect the web interface to XDA. While the app itself may not be flawed most users will perceive it that way if the web (or some other API driven) interface is performing 'normally'.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I again start observing issues with attachments. They either don't get attached or don't show up even after being attached...

Do we again have the same issue with attachments as before? I remember it was said that there is a DDOS attack when this happened before.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I had trouble with an attachment earlier this morning via desktop Chrome. It looked like it uploaded, so I closed the attachment window and submitted my post. The attachment wasn't there, so I tried again and it worked.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Yes I tried again too (from website this time because we cannot edit and and attachments to the post via XDA). So this may not be app issue anyways, that is why I asked about DDOS attack. From 2 attachments that were not attached, only one was attached after second try. But the image was not visible (it said attachment cannot be seen). So I had to remove the attachments and put a link of an image through photobucket... Maybe many users were online that time and that is why attachment was not working? I am clueless...

:(

But if it is working after 3-4 hours then it was only a temporary issue:svetius:
[Android Apps and Games] wewenk:
Today my xda labs not working again. My account get logged out. And it is so darn hard to log in again since it says my password is wrong. But I saved my password with google.

Log in with browsers to forum is easy.

I bet it happen also with other third party forum apps.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I also had been auto logged out 2 times in the last few days and I think it has something to deal with access token being expired. It's again purely back end related (like it was already the case before, here for instance: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post68635795)

If this issue is still here in a few days for everyone, I will need to ping bitpushr again.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Same happened to me twice this month. After 5-10min I was able to log back in. I was just afraid that I am again banned and was trying to figure out what I could have done wrong

:D
[Android Apps and Games] theandroidguy:
Not getting any log out issues, just the post gets refreshed during night
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
lol yeah I was momentarily confused (Oh shush peanut gallery) yesterday when I was opening an email with a link & XDA-LABS was showing the "not logged in" screens ???

Sent from my SM-G965W ??
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
No it is not an issue with tapatalk or forum runner. Neither have ever logged me out in the years I have used them for strictly xda.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
Just to confirm what was said by Wood Man and Eleo, I was also logged out exactly twice before.

I don't know if it is of relevance, but the news feed delay problem started occurring after both log out events had already happened, and it may or may not be connected to them.
[Android Apps and Games] elwhiteboy01:
Is there any way you can make an easier method for the recognize device section? Tab S3, DR and Tab E comes up for my device. I have a tab a 9.7 (sm-t550). Maybe something like find your device in a thread? Anyways, I am unable to follow the latest for my device. And I feel I'm missing out on a great feature of XDA labs app. Best regards.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Your device is listed in parsed.devices. So auto detection should work but it doesn't for some reason.

In such case, you can manually select your device by following what I have done in the screenshots attached. What you type in the search field is important to find the correct device. Though it's acting weirdly sometimes :)
[Android Apps and Games] dlads:
Just using the normal app from the play store.

[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Same - can't recall the last time I experienced an uncommanded logout with XDA labs which I regularly use on several devices.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The link you have provided is not about the official xda forum app. It's link to a Google News :confused:

> Here below (from OP) you can download the full version of XDA app (it's called XDA Labs):

Please read the OP of the current thread to learn more.
[Android Apps and Games] dlads:
No it is not?

This is what I get when I click it?

Not sure why it won't load for you?

Doesn't matter anyway. The questions been answered now.

If you open the play store and search for XDA that is the app that I have and what I posted earlier.
[Android Apps and Games] andy356:
"The official Google Currents of XDA-Developers!"

You're on Google Newsstand. You'll notice you get the option to "Add". Not "Install", like any other app you use. If you open this link through the Play Store app instead of a custom tab, you'll see the full phrase "Add to Newsstand".

If you still have doubts, look carefully at the links provided by you and by Wood Man. Your link says "store/newsstand/" and his link says "store/apps/". Copy paste any other app link of an app you use if you want to confirm it.
[Android Apps and Games] dlads:
Great, doesn't matter either way.

Appreciate who helped.
[Android Apps and Games] DB126:
Err...okey dokey. Glad you're happy.
[Android Apps and Games] dlads:

[Android Apps and Games] luimx:
I just did an analysis of the latest Labs apk (v1.1.6b) on virustotal and the report shows two detections. I guess it's a false positive?

[Android Apps and Games] Fifen:

[Android Apps and Games] dCrist:
I guess my problem of not being able to pay for an app to download it is related with these connectivity issues then.
[Android Apps and Games] S4turno:
There are 3-4 virus engines on Virus Total that like to flag Android related content even when it's legit stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
And then there's legitimate files that Google Drive won't allow either.... Same thing with Gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] I Love You Dad:
I can't download apps from labs it says network connectivity error even on cellular data please help?
[Android Apps and Games] Nergal di Cuthah:
Yes it's been that way since yesterday. I think that a backend thing is going on.
[Android Apps and Games] I Love You Dad:
OK Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Is it just me or is everything loading faster since the network connectivity issue started?
[Android Apps and Games] maniakjabuek:
Yeah, kinda ?
[Android Apps and Games] Badger50:
Nope. Not just you my friend. Too bad Woodman and the others didn't think of this sooner! ??
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Yeah loads way faster for me too.
[Android Apps and Games] khanjui:
Also faster for me.
[Android Apps and Games] IronTechmonkey:
Now that you (and others) mention it and now that I've opened Labs on additional Android devices, yes the 10 to 20 second lags opening the app via Forums shortcut or opening individual threads do not seem to be occurring. Also, FWIW, I use Labs almost exclusively for Forums.
[Android Apps and Games] andriy_:
Network connectivity issue for me too. Samsung S8, RICE 13.3, NX 16
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Thanks for the feedback guys, I have sent a PM to [MENTION=450224]bitpushr[/MENTION] (plus this mention). Hopefully, he can look into this quoted above. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Me too. Totally agree for loading to get faster. Not the same for website, still getting XDA is not responding. And also attachments still load longer on XDA Labs. Some thread pages load longer as before.

But threads and forums pages on XDA Labs load faster than before.
[Android Apps and Games] sakurita108:
Can't download any new apps or even update old apps due to Network Connectivity Issue. I have a Lenovo YT3-X50F.

[Android Apps and Games] grumpycoder100:

[Android Apps and Games] Emil Borconi:
Can confirm, it looks like it's getting back to normal. Previously paid apps can be downloaded now.

Thanks guys!
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Yup - Same here ??
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Same. Network connectivity issue disappeared whilst pertaining the fastly loading threads and forums pages

Image attached in posts which are slower to load than before (let's say a few weeks or months back) is not only happening using Labs. It's also the case using a web browser. But still I have pinged Dave for this issue as well :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Maybe it's time to give a try again to XDA Labs since threads lists and pages loading time seem to be back to normal perf since a few days (noticed by some of us, including me). At least, it could be for test purpose if you don't want to use Labs daily. Please let us know if you have time ;)

[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I believe that the Server is still being worked on by the XDA "Geek Squad" Guys because of some type of DDOS attacks the server has been hit with on multiple occasions in the past month or so.

Besides the fact that the Guys (and Gals) who submitted the issues everyone has been experiencing via the Excellent Labs Developers and including those who are involved with the Labs Support Team, I'm sure that, If needed, [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION] can also help provide any clarification but, it looks like this part is already being handled very nicely.

Not only is the Labs App being affected but, other XDA Dedicated Forum apps are as well. Of course there's been a variety of different errors (primarily Toast Messages) that have been noticed as well.

Let's all keep our Fingers, Toes, Tungs (if you can LOL!), etc... crossed and wish the Geek Squad Guys the best of luck in a speedy server recovery too! :thumbup:

Now lets all join hands and sing a verse from the song "Abraham, Martin & John"... LMAO! :eek:

UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my SM-G900V device.
[Android Apps and Games] Sam Nakamura:
Yeah! I'm in! :)

Let's join hands with another little chant at the bonfire nearby, sipping the last sips of my root beer and the song goes like this:

"...kumbaya my lord, kumbaya..."

...ah man, I can feel it already - fixing stuff with sweat on the face and a good old song on the lips... :silly:

That's how working on labs related issues probably work - that's how it has to work!

Solving server and network issues was never more enjoyable!

lol:laugh:

--------------------

Now for real, you're totally right pointing out the things that happening behind the scenes - we can't thank those fixers & supporters enough, xda labs is a great app, wouldn't want to be without it, much love & effort must be necessary to keep things going, something most users out there are taking for granted and they will probably never see or understand the headaches all this means for those being responsible, that's why I wanted to join with my most sincere "thank you" to all of you involved in keeping it up for all of us!

Look at that number plate is the car of a XDA DEVELOPER ?! ???
[Android Apps and Games] adinechin:
Hi all, I'm still struggling with my notification problem, I've disabled battery optimization but I would like to know what would be the best thing to test with advice of the developper(s) :

- does logout and login again on the app would renew the notification token ?

- does disabling/enabling again will suffice ?

- where is located this token to see potential changes on my different tests ?

- are there impacts on this token when updating the app like Google notifications (the token is renewed)

- on what id is based the token to communicate with the push server ?

Thanks in advance. As soon as I have some answers, and a "trick", I will be glad to share it, especially for those like me who use Titanium Backup ;)
