Good idea, we'll consider it.

I think we'll bring this back later!

So back when we were on vBulletin, the Tapatalk software crushed our servers and was literally responsible for slowness of the site.

We hear there is a XenForo plugin for Tapatalk which we're going to look into, but with our new app, we don't really see a need!
[About XDA developers] Zilla0617:
Is there a setting to jump to newest post when viewing a thread? As its constructed, when a new post arrives you select the thread which brings you to the OP post then one has to select "jump to new" to read the latest post. Thank you

Not sure what you mean... Log out from browser? Is it connected somehow to the app?
[About XDA developers] It_ler:
Yes, the app seems to authenticate via the mobile browser. So there could be a kind of "conflict".

See other posts about it:
[About XDA developers] wonsky21:
Yeah, but you need to log in to authenticate...

Anyway, I managed to log in finally, hope it won't log me out by itself :) Look like there was some interferences with my adblocker :)
[About XDA developers] BillGoss:
I just installed the app and logged in. I loved that I didn't have to enter my credentials (it prompted me to authorise it) because I was already logged in on the browser.

I also love how the app looks just like the browser.

I've not yet found out how to mark a thread as read. Edit: just found it: swipe a forum in a list to the right to get Watch and Mark read.

Also, the app UI freezes on me. Removing it from Recents is enough to get it working again. I'll get a log the next time this happens.
[About XDA developers] wonsky21:
Go to the app settings and look in the Gestures section ;)
[About XDA developers] plegdroid:
You need to be logged into your account via browser, as the app will authenticate via your online xda account. If your not logged in, it has nothing to authenticate from.

Edit, I was a little late, can see you got it sorted ☕😊
[About XDA developers] It_ler:
Correct.

I mean to log out from your mobile browser first, then start the new xda app and log in / authenticate via the app.

That is how it worked for me and many other users:
[About XDA developers] wonsky21:
So... Log in in browser, authenticate in app, log out from browser? That's a crazy way to log in :D

Edit: nevermind, I managed to log in anyway.

When I open a watched thread, it does not take me to the first unread post. It always takes me to the first page of the thread. The old app did it.
[About XDA developers] maybeme2:
Is there an app setting to make the app to go directly to "view" instead of the screen where you have to tap on either "Reply" or "View" to view a thread?

And to have "View" go to the end of the thread, not the first page of that thread?

[About XDA developers] joeldf:
I'm having this issue on both my Galaxy S9 and Fire Tablet HD 8. I open the app which goes to the "Log in", "Register" or "Continue as Guest" options screen, tap "Log in", it goes to Firefox, and at the "Authorize account" screen, I tap the "Authorize" button, and it just goes right back to the XDA app main screen with "Log in", "Register" or "Continue as Guest" options. I can't go past that unless I "continue as guest", but that's worthless.

I tried logging out in Firefox and trying the app again forcing me to re-sign back in through Firefox, but no dice. Guess I'll have to stick with the browser for now.

Why not just log in directly with the app like everyone else does?
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
Try a different browser, Firefox has been an issue.

[About XDA developers] tiho5:
I guess we have to wait for a new version. I bet it's worked upon.
[About XDA developers] joeldf:
Finally got it.

I tried the Samsung browser, but for some reason, it simply wouldn't open if I select it from the "open with" box at the bottom of the screen.

And, Chrome is banned from use on my phone (disabled, since it can't be deleted, because of constant problems with it).

I didn't want to load another browser just yet, so I tried the only other browser I had - Firefox Focus. I hadn't tried it before because I figured if regular Firefox didn't work, why would Focus?

But... it did work.

Now I'm in. Thanks.

Viewing Participated threads in App
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
I am a change loathing curmudgeon especially when it comes to any UI, and to the point of this not being a complaint; I invested little time becoming acquainted with the new interface yet found it relatively easy to get to most recently active threads and personal messages which I use most in both the app and the website. There are some annoying things like tiny font (page zooming not viable alternative) and page zoom stealing double tap from edit controls which I'll research for solutions or report later but apart from the interface the drastic improvement in back-end performance should not be overlooked. Interactions with threads occur much quicker and more reliably. I no longer have to abuse the database by abruptly disconnecting and reconnecting to get to threads as I did in the previous app.
[About XDA developers] Lex_Michdeandroid:
So many steps just to get it to work the way it did. I uninstalled and am going to use it through the browser, sorry guys.
[About XDA developers] AndroZeek:
Nothing happening after authorizing the app.
[About XDA developers] Lex_Michdeandroid:
No it didn't. There's no possibility to turn off the notification sound for this app alone. I don't mind the notification, but I want different sounds for different apps.

This redesign stuff is what constantly happens to apps and I am not going to put up with it anymore. I don't want to waste my time learning every new fart a designer has to vent.

Xda isn't the only app on the phone, it's becoming a day job keeping up with all these fancy new things everyone is trying. It is a complaint in general, not just xda.

The 9-dot button shows watched forums ( i currently only have 1 - my device's main forum and watched threads from that forum appear there.). However the rest of the watched threads from other forums don't show up, and the "watched threads" in home button are not the latest thread i was on when i exited the app. If i wanna go back to that, i would have look for it in "watched threads" then open it and search for the last position i was. Very annoying and hard to follow what i'm reading...

To get your watched threads to show as default opened page on the app. Go to the app settings and pick "your feed" for the default tab & default feed to "watching"

😊☕
[About XDA developers] plegdroid:
@svetius

Is there any chance of changing the wording in settings for the default tab from "your feed" to "home" as the tab it relates to is ledgend up as "home" and would stop any confusion. Or change the home tab ledgend to "your feed" so at least it correlates between the option and the related tab.

[About XDA developers] mrrocketdog:
apologies if this has already been mentioned/noted but when i tap my back button on phone or the arrow at top of thread it takes me back to the main app page , "watching" in my case. instead of the previous page i was on. hope that made sense. maybe i missed something or someone knows a way to accomplish this (?). & i do realize it is a wip and 'probably' a great many hours went into get what we do have.

still a little sluggish and i've experienced a "freeze" a time or two.

i really like the uhhhh , "control panel" above the "reply box" to choose bold , italic , attachement , etc. and the speed at which the apk was provided. (one of the few without a pc and the phone browser was quite difficult for me to navigate. (old guy with oldzhiemers and other maladies. lol).

[About XDA developers] seemebreakthis:
Not sure if this issue has been mentioned. I cannot even login with the new xda app.

When I press 'login' a browser window pops up and a login page shows. Entered my credentials, then went thru the "Authorize account" page and I tapped on the "Authorize" button. Then it throws me back to the app's login page with "login", "register" and "continue as guest" once again.

Using FIREFOX as my default browser. My gut feeling is that this is the issue.

So right now I can only "continue as guest"...

[About XDA developers] Philnicolls89:
I for one am really liking this new app, yes it has its issues eg bugs, UI, features missing etc. But it is also sooo much faster and easier to post in threads, quote older posts etc. (It was common in the past for me to wait several minutes at least for a post to publish, ain't no body got time for that)

Considering the developers couldn't to a public beta it is quite good and will only improve over the coming months. We could almost consider this version a public beta;)

The future does look good for XDA, and we shouldn't expect the app to be a finished, polished product right away. There are definitely things that bug me, but the sheer performance of the new server trumps all that for now!

Still not as good as xda labs. The new site is just one more run of the mill forum site. I loved reading the tech articles in the news feed in labs. And for apps I always checked labs first before going to the play store. I can't say how good the new app is because it's not working. Nothing I do let's me log in. I keep getting error messages.
