[About XDA developers] trax7:
Hi guys, here's my 2 cents. The app is okay, it's a bit harder to navigate than before but has a new coat of paint which is nice. The only annoying thing I saw was in the settings where I when want to change a setting I get presented with an ugly grey block instead of a normal menu, which you can't get rid of even with the back button! Pressing back should get it away but it doesn't. :(

The next things are feature requests that I see other people alos ask for: the article view like in the old app and My Device, where I access just the forum I want. You could even make it into My Device(s) for people with more than one device! Other than that, maybe a more robust log-in scheme. It works but not under Firefox for some reason. :)

[About XDA developers] temporarium:
Since the current app developer(s) is/are more interested in monetary returns than privacy/usability, here is an idea...

We have so many talented app developers. Perhaps one of them could develop an app for the forum that is:

Functional

Open-source

Ad-free

Without trackers

Without Google push notifications

In other words, an app that could be released without a second-thought on F-Droid and be used without having to jump through hoops.

And I hope the forum admins won't object to such open development.
[About XDA developers] plegdroid:
The ads pay for the upkeep of the site, so unless everyone starts to pay for the upkeep via paid subscriptions, it's just a necessity of the beast. XDA user's developing an app for XDA was basically what labs app was. Think XDA would welcome a labs version of the new app, it's just finding bodies willing to take up and maintain the challenge

Look at the reply right above mine they are a "senior member". I'm pretty sure it's points based now. Some where between 63 and 83 you become elite i think. There was a view trophies option when i looked at my profile. Your 30 points higher then me. Mr. 500 likes!

[About XDA developers] It_ler:
About the search in viewing thread: Is not available yet in the xda app. Is already on the feature request list.

About the opening first post: Correct. Is the only option in xda app for now. Sometimes you will get a "Jump to new" button at the top of the thread to jump to the first unread post (like in the browser).

Many users asked for automatically jumping to the first unread post. So it may hopefully be implemented into the new version of xda app 🤞
[About XDA developers] Vortell:
Awesome! Only other thing is a clear unread it easy to say a thread but not get notified about it. For instance i want to save magisk thread but not have to read it. If not maybe either a long press to select the thread and clear unread or maybe a clear all your unread. I also miss the order of the unread being by which was latest to be updated. Not i know someone might have said these things but without search options it hard to know.

[About XDA developers] ipdev:
Same here.

Only thing to add, my Nexus 7 (2013) Lineage 17.1, has a lag in the app.

It actually shows the page before it switches to Error 2 or 4.

I use AdAway, both root and VPN method.

Been running into it off/on the last few days.

If I open the thread from Watching, Forums-> Watched, Forums-> Find threads-> THREADS WITH YOUR POSTS, ..

I get Error Code 2.

If I open the thread from an Alert, it takes me to the message in the alert.

I can then go back in the thread until I jump back to fast, then I get Error Code 4.

If I jump back to the first page, I normally get Error Code 2

Not sure if it helps but, on computer using Brave Browser.

Linux, fedora 32

The first page of [GAPPS][DAILY] Open GApps for Android; All Android Versions & Devices shows Not secure.

The last page (and a few pages I jumped to randomly) does not show the Not secure warning.

Cheers. :cowboy:
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
The Not secure issue is most likely a non https link in a signature, even when using a mobile browser.
[About XDA developers] plegdroid:
I ended up uninstalling the app from my N7, laggy would be an understament 😁 (think it's just starting to show it's age) but the website is not a burden ☕😊
[About XDA developers] BillGoss:
That makes sense. My mobile browser (Brave) displays the first page but flags it as insecure because of http (but pages 2 and 3 are ok).
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Liking the app, but still many anomalies.

Eg, clicking any thread under any tab on homepage brings up a preview of the 19 posts after opening post. Changing order to Newest First still shows only posts from page 1.

As this is pretty superfluous, can I change the behaviour to show a USEFUL preview of LATEST posts?

Also, can I change behaviour to go to last page (or better, last post), or last unread post in a watched (or other) thread?

... Perhaps I'm just overlooking some obvious settings... [; even changing to dark theme seems to have no effect for me! Edit: Solved this one by switching off Use System Settings...]

Many Thanks 🤠 PW
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
Disabling Signatures resolves most of the Non-secure issues
[About XDA developers] ipdev:
Thank you but, I understand linking an image from an insecure source will kill the security.

<img src="http://NameOfSite.Domain/ImageName.FileExtension">

All it takes to kill the security of a secure (https) webpage.

I am not sure if insecure links can be or should be blocked on the backend.

Only mentioned it in case it contributed to the Error.

Is it possible switching back and forth between secure and insecure causing an issue in the app?

Is the OpenGApps thread in or recently been in maintenance?

I realize everything is in maintenance currently ;)

The THANK/LIKE restore process seems to still be in progress, have any been restored to that thread lately?

As I mentioned in the 2021 thread.

Still getting use to it and waiting for the migration to be done and what bugs show up in a few months.

A little old and a little slow but, still very nice to use.

Sure it might take a few extra seconds to boot and/or load an app or webpage.

Once loaded/running I normally do not notice much lag.

The new xda app, I notice the lag though out the app. 🙃

Lineage 18.1 is comming up nicely on flo/deb.

Might have to give the new xda app a try on l18.1.

Cheers all. :cowboy:
[About XDA developers] sjamie:

[About XDA developers] BillGoss:
Interestingly enough, I tested with both signature enabled and disabled.

With it enabled I get the SSL error in the app and the warning triangle in Brave browser

With signature disabled I still get the error in the app but no warning triangle in the browser.

And, talking about signatures, I've never seen any signatures displayed in any post, whether in the app or browser, irrespective of the signature setting

Hi PW,

main things you mentioned are not available (yet) in xda app.

But you have the option to toggle on/off thread preview like shown in my screenshot. For the thread preview, you can select if you want the newest or the oldest post first.
[About XDA developers] pndwal:
Thanks for that. I have played with these settings, and the problem you may not have noticed is that the preview will only show the 19 posts following opening post, ie posts on first page. It always says 'Showing 19 of X0000 Replies'

Selecting Newest post simply re-sorts 19 posts on PAGE 1 from latest to oldest, whereas it should clearly be showing the Newest of the X0000 'replies'.

As it does NOT show actual Newest post, it's a pretty useless function... Unless I'm missing another setting to enable preview for latest post(s). 😬 PW

I really wanted to like the new app but truth is adding a browser shortcut to the home screen works much better 🤷‍♂️
[About XDA developers] mdc0ffey:
I think the app is good but for me is missing three things.

Ability to open thread at last read post(mentioned a few times)

Ability to search thread (also mentioned a few times)

A "return to top of page button" (like in a browser) in the thread as they are quite long so there is a lot of scrolling involved.

Ultimately i like it, its fast for me and with a good layout. I also miss news feed and labs but i guess i could live without them.

Well done to the devs 👏

Great app.
[About XDA developers] NickosD:
The app is just bad on user experience. I need 3 clicks just to go to the last page for a thread's new posts. First to click it, then on view button, and scroll and click to the last page.

Clicking on links (like the play store link o. The start of this page), and then hitting back, is getting me back to threads, so again 3 clicks just to go to the last page.

I was watching the forum some times a day, now maybe once a month.

Just a big NO. From me
[About XDA developers] It_ler:
You can reduce it to two clicks for now: Just disable the thread preview like shown in my screenshot.
[About XDA developers] ParanoidNemo:
Don't know if already mentioned but when using the preview function for thread even if using the "newest" sorting option the 10 or so post showed aren't the new ones. For example I see replies about a couple of month old in a thread where the last reply is some minutes ago (just received notification about it). Other than that and the few quirk already mentioned by other user (cannot start to read a thread from last seen message is the big one for me) it's a very good app in my opinion. Really smooth and good looking.
[About XDA developers] tcat007:
This app is sooooo much better! I checked threads maybe once a month because it either wouldn't open or was so slow it wasn't worth waiting for. Now I check it daily, acts like an app should. I just click on notification icon and all new posts are bold. Opens to latest, just perfect.

PS: I don't like being "Elite"! Please change that, I'm not.

[About XDA developers] MrBlubke:
still trying to figure out, what it is exactly that goes wrong when trying to login on my phone, and how it differs from my tablet, where I don't have these issues...

things I've tried:

logging out and back in in Chrome which doesn't do much for the app except for requiring me to login on the site to authorize the app, same experience afterwards, re-opens the app not logged in. Also tried creating a new account, with similar experience...

things I've found... what happens on the background when pressing the AUTH button it yet opens another link to this auth.expo.io site which is supposed to provide the app the authorization, but apparently this site already gives an error 'something went wrong' telling me to close that window to go back to the app. which kind of makes me think the bug is not in the app... but makes me question what is different in this process between phone and tablet...

Hello all!

First, thanks to all involved developers. Iteration by iteration, this app will certainly improve, until it reaches a quality level where the hard will be to point flaws! ;)

At the moment I'm experiencing something odd: even though i have 'newest' as sorting setting, when I load a certain thread, it is not sorted correctly. Bellow two screenshots where we see a thread that had a new post 2m before, and when loaded, the first visible post is from 7d ago:

Any suggestion?

For anyone unable to log in to the app who has Firefox as your default browser.

Try a different browser. It worked for me.

Just putting this here to help anyone who can't log in, as I found the info deep in the middle of this thread. I know this post itself will quickly fade into history but at least it might help a few people. Maybe this problem should be mentioned in the OP? I didn't even suspect Firefox as being the problem until I read a ton of posts in this thread and stumbled on the solution.

Thanks to all the people I've quoted.
[About XDA developers] xezrunner:
After successfully logging in, Android would give me two choices to open the app, both saying "XDA-Developers".

Upon choosing the first option, the app was stuck on a white screen.

On the first restart, the bottom half of the Forum tab list did not appear to respond, as if some invisible control was blocking my inputs. (video)

Fixed by restarting the app.

Performance is a little sluggish on a Redmi Note 5 Pro running ArrowOS (Android 11).

The new migration broke one of my threads lol, been quiet about it since I am happy that the changes required on the thread are not a big deal...

I love the App, one problem though is that when you receive a notification and you tap on it, it doesn't take you the notifications, it opens at XDA home... it would be great if it takes you to the notifications...

@svetius Bug report

While scrolling in Home/New posts or New threads you can only go down a little ways before it refreshes and kicks you back to the top.
[About XDA developers] trax7:
@svetius

Bug: Visiting a thread and using the back button doesn't navigate the user to the previous page of the thread, like it did with the old app, instead, it kicks him out of the thread. The same happens when clicking a link (for ex. to look at the source of some kernel) that opens inside the app. However, that is worse, as there is no way to navigate back and forth in the web page. Using back boots that user back to the forums. The same happens if the user jumps to a thread from a previous thread. Using the back gesture/button boots him out of both threads.

Correct behavior: Using the back button should navigate the user back to the previous page in the thread, or of inside a web page, to the previous web page. The latter could be managed by using the default web view of the device, seeing as currently a built-in web view is used.
[About XDA developers] mvlad:
I'm trying the app right now, but it seems to be a major downgrade from xda labs in terms of user experience and overall it judt feels like a glorified Webview with forced url tabs and a bit of ui on the sides (so of course it's fast, it's just loading a page instead of parsing data).

First of all, where is the "my device" section? It was in a side menu in the labs version and now I can't find it anywhere, even if it is somewhere and I missed it, the fact that I couldn't find it in the first place should say something.

Second of all, no context controls for threads? If I click on a thread there is no button in the action bar like before to favourite/watch like before, instead I have to look for the watch buttons as if I'm on a browser. Not only that but the ever present menu button only does one action (so why even put it there? Just have a separate tab, oh wait you kinda already do with the my page thing) and it's confusing. I was looking for context menu entries (like watch/favourite) in it so it can be very confusing.

Third of all: needs a lot of QOL changes:

- The search should have a delay and search automatically.

- There should be a search button on the actual search bar, not for it to wait to press enter.

- The multiple choice menus shouldn't have to make you choose an option for them to close. It's standard behaviour to have the overlay for that close if you tap outside it.

- lots of times when I thought I could click on elements as cards I had to click on small hyperlinks (see My content, if you click to see your content you see a list of comments and threads, clicking anywhere on an entry won't go to the page, you have to click on the hyperlink above it. It just feels off)

Overall I'd say the "app" is very unpolished, and that would be fine if there was an option to stay on the previous ones until this one actually works, but since the labs app was broken by some backend changes I guess I'll just not use xda for the meantime, which is a shame.

Oh right, and the animations are slow. Not the app animations, the webview animations. That's why you make an app that has that stuff built in, and not just a webview of the website.
