I actually already have the thread preview turned off... and it is behaving like I've described in the post of mine you have quoted. The thread layout I mentioned is not the one of the thread preview, it's a new and different layout but once the thread opened and then the page changed, it switches to the web view 🤔

I cannot log in to the updated mobile app. hen I click on "login" it takes me to authorize account. When I click on authorize, it bounces me back to login. No way to enter or change a password. I forced closed app, cleared data and cache. Same problem. How do I log in???

[About XDA developers] shaggyskunk:
I've got a weird issue - The old app won't allow me to login & on the Play Store the update isn't available for all my Google accounts & The ones where the update IS available - Clicking on "update" flashes briefly but doesn't update - Cleared Cache & Data for the Play Store a few times - Uninstalled the older version - Reinstalled the older version from the link posted here & Still exactly the same as posted above?

I did setup a new password btw.

Play Store finally updated & it's all good.
[About XDA developers] bkdodger:
I just changed my password now when I couldn't login from app.. It's working on mobile browsers Chrome and from Safari on my PC..

after selecting authorize do you see to apps to choose from?
[About XDA developers] Mynacol:
For the developers of the app:

You should test the login procedure with Firefox as default browser set up.

Eventually you need to toggle "Open links in apps" in the Firefox settings too to reproduce the problem.
[About XDA developers] Lossyx:
I honestly didn't see anything wrong with the old app except it being slow. I found it much easier to navigate through, and there doesn't seem to be a "Subscribed forum" section, or maybe I'm blind.

The new app is definitely faster and has some cool feature, and I guess I just have to get used to it.
[About XDA developers] bkdodger:
I didn’t see the option but I will test again when I get back home ..thank you for your help
[About XDA developers] david72262:
I guess my problem was and still is the app store is still showing the old app not the new updated one. I must have missed out on the 50% rollout while I was testing for developers darn it
[About XDA developers] shaggyskunk:
Try Clearing Cache & Data for the Play Store - Reboot & see if the update is there - I had an issue with getting the update but finally got it.
[About XDA developers] david72262:
Didn't help guess I'll just have to wait
[About XDA developers] shaggyskunk:
Another thing you COULD try - Uninstall the old version - Click on the Play Store link at the beginning of this Thread - Select a Browser to open (NOT the Play Store or Tapatalk etc) Select the device you want XDA to be installed on (if you have more than one) & see if that works for you - I have a few Google Accounts & The up was there for a couple but refused to update - So I used Firefox to do the above & it worked for me 🤞

Will let me sign in only thru comments as guest, sign in screen no go due to no gsf like I feared
[About XDA developers] david72262:
That didn't work either so I just freaking side loaded it. It showed as an update to my existing app so hopefully I will get play store updates if not I'll just uninstall and install it later. Login and everything was successful. I always use the labs app so this is the first time install of this app so I should have got the new one right off the bat.
[About XDA developers] shinobisoft:
I keep getting invalid username/password when trying to log in with the Play store app. I just reset my password, as recommended, and also tried clearing app data and cache. The version of the Play store app is 1.1.6b. If memory serves me, that's the same version it was prior to the changes here at XDA...

Hi ALL,

I Tap on Bell symbol, bottom RHS. for Alerts.

Which has number added, depending on number of alerts, not yet viewed.

Tap on to view alerts, the latest unread post is displayed, then immediately a RED Message is displayed, sometimes twiceThat I do not have appropiate rights to view this,

I am already logged in, and can view the messages within each .

So why this incorrect flag. Just another issue that requires attention.

[About XDA developers] bomberb17:
So I see the general consensus is that the app has been a failure so far. It's very cumbersome and misses many basic functionalities. I couldn't even find my own posts in it. In google play it has 2.5 stars and a ton of negative reviews. Why did XDA stopped using tapatalk???

[About XDA developers] Crrrr:
According to Aurora Store, the 2.15.12 version of the app has 9 trackers. This bugs me a lot, so I won't be checking out this app. From what I know, there was an open source, tracker-free app on F-droid a long time ago, but it is no longer supported.
[About XDA developers] shinobisoft:
The previous app was not open source although there had been discussions about making it that way. I can say nothing of the trackers you mention however.
[About XDA developers] shinobisoft:
English please...
[About XDA developers] bomberb17:
The site works fine with me, and worked fine in the past. I agree that nothing changed in terms of speed.

What has changed though is the mobile app. Previously we had Tapatalk, which is great by itself. Now we have a badly-designed app which noone likes.
[About XDA developers] BeeJ1109:
Why would I bother to submit into another thread, when I have provided evidence in screenshot of the issue. The app has the problem on recent update, OK previous releases. Dev can read this thread, why duplicate, KISS principle works, why complicate. My thoughts, they ask for comments, get feedback, some are fixed others are not, maybe enough negative, get some response from Dev.

It's getting better, as time goes by. So thanks for your efforts to improve the product.

Cheers

My mistake, then. I was referring to this app, having its last update in 2015: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.iven.xdafeedreader/.

Don't get me wrong, I still find all the information here very useful and use a web app for the phone.

PS: For those who do not know how to use web apps for mobile, in the browser (preferably not Chrome) after going to https://www.xda-developers.com/, click in the browser "Add To Home screen".

It is not perfect, but for me it is the best trade-off.

[About XDA developers] palmbeach05:
I'm seeing that there are achievements that are available, that some individuals may be qualified for, but have not been awarded yet. I can assume that some achievements are still in a rollout stage, as this week several were awarded to me just based on past activity (some of us are old timers on here and have a lengthy history).

I am hopeful that these achievements and points are a replacement of the old like bar scale, and not a move to copy other social media platforms such as snapchat or tiktok in terms of competitions for follows and what not.
[About XDA developers] Oswald Boelcke:
Affirmative, achievements still seem to be under construction i.e. still expect bugs and non-availabilities. Personally I assume it's a hell of data that require to be transferred from "former" vBulletin times.

Please note that announcement:
[About XDA developers] MrBlubke:
common... seriously... the app just got worse... while features might be added and all, which would be nice and all, if it weren't for the fact that basic functionality just got worse.... I mean I understand there is a basic navigation/status/menu bar on the bottom, but there is a similar sized white bar just above that, which has no function afaik... above that there are the adds, covering even more content, and on top we have yet another navigation bar covering the same size as the button, so the interface takes up almost the same screen real estate than it's content on my phone... NOT a nice experience...
[About XDA developers] IamTheBRAVE:
You can use Adaway to block ads in apps. Th experience is completely the opposite for me.
[About XDA developers] IamTheBRAVE:
Also, people should take into consideration that fixing app bugs/problems doesn't happen overnight. You just open the app and expect everything to be perfect, but there are people working behind the scenes to bring you the best experience possible. Be patient.

Thanks XDA team for your hard work.
[About XDA developers] MrBlubke:
since I'm a developer myself, I'm quite aware of all the issues that can arise, and I do not expect an app to be perfect from the start, but the way I see it... you start with the MVP and only when that's working you continue forward... not add in all the extras and create parts of the MVP along the way...

If you'd my posts earlier in this thread I've always been one to defend the developers, because I understand all the hustle, just steps backwards... that's not py thing... about adaway, I do feel like leaving the adds as is, because it's theirnwaynto create revenue... however the app should remain usable... one a tablet the content real estate is ok, on the phone however interface should be minimal... using things like OnIdiom could help...
[About XDA developers] palmbeach05:
I think the app icon should conform with the circle style, and not remain as a box only. Many apps have already transitioned to allow for it to be displayed as a circle icon.

Also, if I'm browsing forums, the back button should not bring you all the way to the beginning, just back a previous page or out of the thread/section you are in

I'm a web (Angular, Ionic and HTML) and Android developer from many years....I can't understand how it's possible to have all this issues in an App: current forum is the lowest version of XDA I ever tried in more than 10+ years, the Android BACK button doesn't work in the proper way in most of cases (it returns back 2 or more levels at one time), Notifications are wrong (I get continuous "Bing Bing" sound for same Notifications or "trophies").... The old version (the one before change Framework) was simply, fast and good....but now this WebView version is laggy, slow, heavy and ugly.

[About XDA developers] Wolfcity:
I have a problem with the XDA app (2.15.38).

When I open it I often get a notification sound, sometimes without any reason (just reading a thread), sometimes the push notification emits a sound.

I disabled the sound in the notification section (see attached screenshot) but I get sound notifications even when the device (Xiaomi Mi 9T/Android 10) is in DND mode.

It's the only app that seems to override the Do Not Disturb mode.

That's very annoying, for example when I'm reading on XDA at night and my wife gets woken up......😉

I realized there are two additional sections in the apps notification setting called default and miscellaneous (see screenshot). What are they for?
[About XDA developers] IamTheBRAVE:
If i'm not mistaken, the "ping" sound happens with a new alert without a notification appearing (which leads me to think that notifications are not involved, so disabling them does nothing)

Not sure why DND does not block the app's sounds completely...
[About XDA developers] orb3000:

[About XDA developers] IamTheBRAVE:
Notifications seem to be working again. Got one an hour ago. However something still bothering me.

The text says "new alert in xda forums" (see screenshot) and sends you to the alert tab to open the post. Seems redundant.

Old behaviour used to be:

- open notification to go to corresponding post

-open alert to go to corresponding post

New behaviour looks like:

-open notification sends to alert tab

-open alert tab to open the post

With notification badges activated, i can see i have a new alert and open the app to check the alert tab. So i personally don't need notification in quick settings.

what do you guys think?
[About XDA developers] IamTheBRAVE:
Edit: (correction) badges show up when receiving notification in QS. And that's enough. I am disabling alerts for now to watch if the behaviour is satisfying.

Edit 2: disabled alerts for 24h and now not getting notifications or alerts. So still buggy...
