[*] [fix] [Q...tps://nvite.com/BABBQ16/c17a"]Big Android BBQ next week in Hurst, TX. Come say hi and help support Labs!
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Sorry guys, servers are getting slammed hard with this update (you may notice timeouts, etc). Please be patient while we work on getting things up to speed again!
[Android Apps and Games] bigsupersquid:
Thanks. Apparently trying to do it on my phone isn't going to work, it put a pull request from my fork to my fork. I'll fix it when I get home this evening.

//Edit

Well, looks like I got it submitted even if it added a "merge from temporary branch" commit.

As said by blk_jack, servers are getting slammed but you still can download manually the apk from the download tab.

I can't believe non-tester users could even exist! How would it be possible to not tick the Labs tester option with such thrilling dev??

blk_jack, do you know the ratio testers/non-testers of Labs?
[Android Apps and Games] :
Can't load in discriptions of apps in Labs. Is that due to the server problems, right now?
[Android Apps and Games] EVOuser94:
Glad I read before I posted, :good: keep up the great work guys!!!

Edit: I'd love to go to Texas, but I'm kinda stuck in Misery right now. Erm Missouri...
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Servers are still being slammed hard and latency is bad. The good news is we've figured out the bottleneck and will be making changes to the backend/app to fix this going forward.

Apologies again :eek:

EDIT: For those curious, we've more than doubled our userbase since the last beta went out (July 27th), so the extra load is something we've only seen a bit of with test builds.

Also to answer [MENTION=4752536]Wood Man[/MENTION] -- We don't analyze analytics like that, we merely use them to check which parts of the app people are using the most and the general user flow throughout the app. No personal data is collected, it's purely to reflect app usage in general. Since people largely don't opt into analytics, it's really tough to say how many testers to beta users we have :(
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Servers seem to work fine now for me. Also, Labs opened a link to devdb in chrome perfectly. Previously it would cause chrome to infinitely reopen the tab. When was this fixed?

EDIT: Hmmm. Your link worked fine to open devdb in chrome, but some others don't.
[Android Apps and Games] rakib23:
Just opted into analytics, having a feel like ain't helping myself by opting out. Thanks a lot for the awesome app. XDA is way much fun to visit with this masterpiece!
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Switching from dark theme to light theme in Forums causes the text to remain light causing readability issues. Can anyone else confirm?

EDIT: Works in other direction as well.

See screenshot attached:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I confirm but if you quit the app and back to it, it's fixed. No more readability issue.

However there is something wrong though. It sounds to be a new glitch. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Yup, also, if you pull out the nav drawer and go to Labs and then back to forums(or hot forums again to "reopen"it), it usually fixes it. Just a little oddity I noticed when temporarily switching themes. Thankfully nothing app breaking! :D
[Android Apps and Games] rakib23:
Edit: switched from light to black and everything including letters went dark. Re opening app fixed this though.
[Android Apps and Games] PalmCentro:
Just wanna give a heads up, after the update I lost the forum icon.

Needed to manually re enable.
[Android Apps and Games] kryshnakishore:
I dnt want to see this thread again. How to remove this from participated thread or atleast hide
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You can't do this. Even in the website it's impossible to remove threads from participated. :)

Just use subscribed threads list instead and just forget a bit participated tab.

[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
Looks like a ROM issue, I cannot reproduce it on various firmware (all hail [MENTION=4277844]chenxiaolong[/MENTION] and DualBootPatcher :victory: ) so not sure why would it crash for you. Anyways, it's not related to Labs.

[Android Apps and Games] guitardoc64:
It could be. I'm running PureNexus from way back (5.1.1) and have been running the same install for almost a year. I'm going to try clearing the cache for package installer and see if that helps. I really have to make the time to catch up, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:

[Android Apps and Games] siealex:
A small but annoying bug. XDA Labs shows its own updates on its side bar when opened from the main shortcut, but NOT from XDA Forums shortcut. WTF?
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
It should load up updates, does for me. A manual refresh works too, plus you get notifications anyway
[Android Apps and Games] iXaidyiu:

[Android Apps and Games] siealex:
It loads updates, it simply does not show them in the side bar.

XDA Labs updates always show up on the sidebar for me. Individual app updates show up too. Am unable to reproduce your issue, so logs plz :D

[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Send him a forum PM, maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] EvoWizz:
Yeah I Will :) But I thought it would be great to directly answer on XDA Labs so everyone could see what's my answer ;)
[Android Apps and Games] hawki:
Is there a way to see someone's signature in XDA Labs? See Chinaboys post in my pic.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:

[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I agree that it would be nice to have responses to reviews but at the moment it's not really on our roadmap.

If that changes though I'll update the OP Roadmap post since a few people have requested it here.
[Android Apps and Games] worktorest:
Would be very convenient if there was a search button while in forum view. That way it's easier to narrow down the search to only my device's subforums. If I use "forum search" on the side menu, it'll show me every result from other devices too, which are irrelevant. And if I add the name of my device to the search keywords, it'll show up every post that has the device name in it, which are also irrelevant. :cool:

I often have the issue #32, randomly. It's an annoying bug IMO. Do you already have any ideas what's happening? Is it a backend or app issue? As I wrote in my report, if I remove Labs from RAM, the problem is fixed until the next time it happens.
[Android Apps and Games] dark0shark:
Is the Xda site hacked? When trying to download XDA Labs from http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-labs/ I am always asked to enter German banking data:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:

Great hint: I deinstalled Sparkasse+ App and the message is gone! Don't understand why this app placed itself as a "man in the middle" while trying to fetch https://labs.xda-developers.com/latest. Sorry for this off topic thread, but sometimes problems like this arise from sideloaded ads on the website itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Matt07211:
That seems really, really dodgy. I can also say that this does not happen for me. Better find the source of the problem and eliminate it quickly.

[Android Apps and Games] rakib23:
it's possibly not even in the xda website itself, but it'd be nice to have implemented a search option to look for thread headline in the subscribed thread tab. Just an idea, if possible :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
It was already suggested at least last May. blk_jack already have considered such feature but he said the way the posts are structured and fetched was to much work at that time. But maybe future is now compared to last May? :p

I totally agree with this feature request.
[Android Apps and Games] Rupant:
Will be good if future is now:highfive: I read that post he was referring to viewing all the pics of page which might be difficult or what he was telling but i would to like to have it for one post. Sometimes there are 3-4 images in a post

It would be good to have this feature but whenever it comes i will be waiting :p

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]

I've noticed a new(?) weird bug running 1.0.9b. It happened a few times already.

I use Android 6.0.1.

I always use xda e-mail to be notified of a new post in my subscribed threads. I think since v1.0.9b there is a problem regarding external urls handle, but it's maybe a more general issue (see my PS below).

For example, today at 22:14, I've received an xda e-mail (1st screenshot), I've clicked on the link and I've been redirected to xda labs thread page 607 to a random(?) post, weirdly shown as the last one (2nd screenshot), while there is already a page 608 which includes the post of the received e-mail I was actually supposed to see. Then, I've left xda labs app and resumed it and the page 608 was displayed correctly with all posts (3rd screenshot). Also I've tried again the link of the e-mail and it worked fine (not like the 1st attempt).

:confused:

Logs: http://hastebin.com/bacomowipo.swift

PS: I'm really not sure but I think I already had this problem even without using external urls, I mean it maybe happened when opening a thread directly from Labs.

I hope it's clear enough :o
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
The reason this is happening is because the email link doesn't send you to that post in particular, it sends you to the first new post in the thread (the URL says new post ).
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK but the post where I was redirected was actually not the newest post of the thread. I was redirected to an incomplete page 607: the post shown was displayed like it was the LAST one of the thread (with refresh button at the bottom of this post) while it was not the case at all because there was already a newer page 608 (check my previous screenshots).

Also before this e-mail, I've had read all post until the page 608. This already exsisting page 608 was not displayed and not reachable while the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It gets your last page read according to the API output.

It's the same if you go to any unread thread. Labs doesn't control which post or page you go to, it's from the API.

That said, pages on the web and mobile are not the same. Deleted posts aren't counted on one of them and it screws up the other.

Anyway it doesn't look like an issue to me, I think it's just the API.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I get your point. Maybe it goes to the wrong post to any reasons but...why the thread was incomplete? I was redirected to page 607/607 (abnormally considered as end of thread) while it exists a page 608?
[Android Apps and Games] djraje:
Bug Encountered

In white theme text not showing :confused:

Change the text color to black or Brown for good view in white theme.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hi,

It has already been reported here : http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post69133614

Just restart the app to fix the problem.

Edit: I'm pretty sure blk_jack will fix it soon :)

Known issues are in posts #2 and #8.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It might've just been cached? If you already had the thread up (with a max page of 607) it would try to go to the post within the thread and not necessarily re-query the API. This is just speculation on my end because it seems like an edge case? I'm not too worried unless we can reliably reproduce it & it's reported at least a few times :)
[Android Apps and Games] zeroena:
post creation failed

I saw this issue addressed several times but couldn't find any solution. Each time I try to use the XDA lab app to reply the awefull sign appears " post creation failure". Is there any record or log that I could especificaly send you to help in the solution of this bug? I would be glad.

Sorry blk_jack, I think I'm not clear. Please forget my previous answer.

I have to think further about this "issue". I'll try to do my best to understand this behaviour if it happens again and to find a way to reproduce it if possible.

Sorry to bother you about this. :o
[Android Apps and Games] zeroena:
It seams not to be the case, because I was never able to post any reply through the app, but yet I can do it through the browser. For instance, I tried 3 times to post this reply through the app and i couldn't, yet I could do it through browser.

Best regards!

(P.D: It seams the app let me do post edition.)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK then we need more details about your system: Version of XDA labs used, Android version, ROM,... and we mainly need logs! You'll have to record them yourself running the debug version of Labs. And please search on xda how to grab logs.
[Android Apps and Games] DominickLo:
Thank you for sharing multiple application for Android smartphones.
[Android Apps and Games] QuickNET Tech:
Wait, the debug version is necessary for log captures? If so, I was unaware. Are their any other differences between the two versions?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes debug version is required if you want to help with debugging. Debug version logs more verbosely. Everything is explained in OP #2 and #3.

No other difference.

Then, please follow this...

---------- Post added at 14:24 ---------- Previous post was at 14:07 ----------

Hi,

Posting here the stack trace is not useful because it has already been sent to the dev, as written in the crash screen. When you have such problem, you have to keep in my mind that you need to catch full logs yourself (with MatLog from Playstore for instance or through adb) while reproducing the problem and then post the logs file here with as many details as possible. Devs need logs including the whole context, not only the stack trace :)

---------- Post added at 14:38 ---------- Previous post was at 14:24 ----------

Also, HERE is a reminder for everyone :)
[Android Apps and Games] zeroena:
Hi, Wood man, thank you for your answer.

I have been testing, and for some reason the "post creation failure" only happens in the common version of the XDA labs. I mean, I installed the debug version and everything is right, but when I installed the common version again, the "post creation failure" shows up again! So logs showing what is happening exactly are elusive, I looked forward differences between logs with the common and the debug version, and none seams able to register the bug.

Any suggestion?

Best regards!

(I am now using the debug version that let me reply through the app)
[Android Apps and Games] ABSathe:
Any thoughts about this ?

I also want to make a feature request of this feature

You should try to uninstall/install the app.

[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Searching for forums: :confused:

Why does a search for "android" show me the Android Development and Hacking forum, but a search for development shows me nothing?

Why does the search for "app" show me two forums with "apps" in their title but not the App Development Forums forum http://xdaforums.com/app-development

Why does searching for a sub forums of App Development Forums, such as monetization or coding, show me nothing?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
This could be a CM issue actually. The crash is coming from an external lib that Android uses to parse HTML tags. I'm not sure what version CM uses or why it would crash though, since it doesn't on stock so I assume CM is using another version of tagsoup? I looked into it briefly and saw their tagsoup repo is pretty outdated (there isn't a branch for CM13 even). https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_external_tagsoup/tree/staging/cm-12.0

What is the blue-rounded tweak in the changelog please?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
When you longpress on a Labs notification (or go to XDA Labs -> Notifications in App settings) it now shows a little gear icon (or "App settings" link respectively). If you click on that it takes you directly to XDA Labs Settings page where you can toggle notifications off, etc. A very small change but something I've been meaning to add for awhile.

EDIT: It might only apply from Lollipop/MM on
