So should posts from a pc stay in the development section and not get moved to Q&A? That feature, if added, should be forum-based, not app-based IMO.

Sent from a phone inside a phone inside a KFC inside a McDonald's.
[About XDA developers] Chezbel:
The following resolves the issue I reported.

EDIT: but only for scenario 1 when the phone is not plugged in. Scenario 2 is still an issue.

Go to

1) settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/LED Notifications/Miscellaneous

2) Select the "xda premium" app

3) Select "Flash color"

I discovered that none of the color choices were selected (not even the "None" option). After I changed that to Green then the LED appears to function as expected (EDIT: for scenario 1 only) when I receive a notification. The interesting thing is that the default for XDA Premium (and some other apps) is that no color option is selected.
[About XDA developers] pianoplayer:
I think the feature should be implemented on the app first (just to test) and then on the PC platform.
[About XDA developers] iamsavedme30:
I'm just really upset that I paid for an app that runs slower than the free one....BUSTED!!!

New Countries

Hi all,

I have previously purchased the premium app using MarketEnabler, but now Hungary is in the supported countries too, so I would be really happy if you enable Hungary in the country list.
[About XDA developers] mrjraider:
I dunno about any xda-developers.com webiste problems but i face 2:

1: On my iPad the http://xdaforums.com/index.php is not being loaded. Just a blank page (also after a delete cache/cookies etc)

2: If I have a notification (like someone quoted a post of mine) I can click on it but I can't see the mention or quoted etc.. These tabs are gone?? (this is on my laptop with win 7 ultimate FF and IE)
[About XDA developers] Quinny899:
This isn't the place to report either of these, but the second one is because the mention and quotes system is down, it should say that just above the tabs in red text
[About XDA developers] mrjraider:
Thanks but where can i report this kind of issues then?
[About XDA developers] d4c:
This still doesn't excuse the 9 month delay in updating the app even if you provided incremental updates to help with issues people have experienced for the last 9 months. Maybe you should think about dropping TT and creating an independent app so you don't have to wait on someone else?
[About XDA developers] Cheetah1024:
Nice idea! I think that would b gr8!
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
For #1 - We've seen this on occasion with mobile browsers. Try going to http://xdaforums.com/usercp.php instead of the main index. If that works, change the theme away from XDA 2013 to XDA 2013-1024.

For #2 - Answered a few posts up..
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
If you read back a few pages, you will see that Tapatalk charges a king's ransom for every update. If we drop a few thousand on update 2.1.4 and then a discovered bug causes Tapatalk to update to 2.1.5 a few days later, we have to pay all over again.
[About XDA developers] d4c:
Sounds like you guys picked the wrong people to upgrade your app and are then charging us your loyal fan base for the premium version that is a known buggy mess.

I suggest, so that you don't dupe anymore customers, that you make people aware of your above statement on the play store. So that we don't waste our time on this thread asking for updates when you clearly never read the fine print when you asked the folks at TT to upgrade your app.
[About XDA developers] Then_IT_GoNe:
Me too;)
[About XDA developers] detdett:
+1. How is one app completely dependent upon another app? I still don't get why xda has to be dictated by tapatalk....

If that's the case, why would anyone buy the xda app if tapatalk is always the newest latest?
[About XDA developers] luosuja:
I get this error whenever I try to reply to a thread (tried only few times to few thread, but anyway):

"request function reply_thread does not exist"

this comes after app has received reply from server so is this server side issue?
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I can't speak for others but I personally bought xda premium because this is the only forum I access (so I don't need Tapatalk's access to other forums) + it's a way too support XDA as I've learnt a lot here and it's good to give back what I can.

Also, just because Tapatalk is newer/more updated it doesn't mean it's better. In fact, I've had quite a few problems with Tapatalk in the past and no real issues whilst using XDA apps :)

Have you tried clearing app data? It's always worked for me when I've had the same issue.
[About XDA developers] luosuja:
Now I have. If this message is visible, then it worked :)
[About XDA developers] vikraminside:
Image upload

I am trying to help members by uploading image. Tapatalk free version requires me to update app from playstore. Its already updated. Free version. Android 2.3 gb sgy. Help please?
[About XDA developers] detdett:
Not really. A really common issue that users are seeing include

hitting the backspace to get back to the main thread will result in exiting the app

no search function within a thread

and what do you know... see below
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I don't have the backspace issue, searching in a thread isn't a major concern for me because even if the thread is too long, I'll simply open up the browser and the search issue isn't app based. Therefore, in my experience, there's no real issues.
[About XDA developers] detdett:
searching in the thread is quite important especially for ROM development threads. a lot of the users are complaining how the thread is "too long" and can't search for the exact solution. as a result, most users ask the same question numerous times when a quick search could have saved pages of repeated material.

searching is possible through the browser but is inconvenient when viewing it on a mobile device

EDIT: now you can't even search using the browser.
[About XDA developers] mrjraider:
Tapatalk dont work atm. Cant see a single thread :(
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Works fine for me

You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think! XDA, mobile wisdom, not a n00b feeding ground!!
[About XDA developers] mrjraider:
It works now weird...:silly:
[About XDA developers] ownliver:
No problem here
[About XDA developers] Quinny899:
Participated, Unread and search go down during search outages. So that's probably what happened, and why it suddenly came back
[About XDA developers] El Daddy:
I noticed the xda premium app says it was updated today. The update isn't available for me though. I wonder if the new update is finally based on tapatalk 4 as it went gold today.
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
The new XDA app is based on TT4. It also doesn't support Android 2.x, in case you also have an older device.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I'm not noticing an available update on either my N7 or HTC One (4.3 and 4.2.2 respectively). I'll check again in the morning though just incase the new play store update is just delaying things on my end.

EDIT - Never mind, I've got the update now :)

Uninstall and reinstall and you'll be on the latest version :) Not sure why an update didn't actually show up for us though.
[About XDA developers] detdett:
So all this time went to creating a premium app? But the free version will be left untouched ?
[About XDA developers] El Daddy:
Uninstalled and reinstalled. Same old version. Must be doing the much hated staged rollout.
[About XDA developers] detdett:
Works for me
[About XDA developers] Michael B.N.:
I bought the xda app a few days ago after having used the free one for some time. I must say I'm a little disappointed and I don't think it's worth the money in other way that you support the xda site.

The app keeps forgetting my settings. I'm not satisfied with the Danish translation so I've chosen to always show English. But even if the option is ticked, the app returns to Danish at every start. Also the notifications doesn't work. No matter what option I choose (instantly, daily etc) it keeps returning to 'no notification'. It settings everything is fine (receive notification is ticked etc) but if I check in Favorites/Topics all settings are being reset every time I exit the app.

I don't know if it's general problems with the app or it's just me...? If there are any ideas what to do, please let me know...
[About XDA developers] d4c:
It's not just you, lots of people are experiencing issues with the app. Even with the recent supposed updates of giving us widgets when quite frankly they can wait. I would rather have a working app without widgets than a non functioning app with widgets. I'll be honest, I don't think they have updated the app. Just made it appear that way, as they stated that updating costs a fortune and then we receive two quick updates in the last week? I smell bs...
[About XDA developers] detdett:
nah, its not BS. Maybe they have a few thousand thousand dollars to spend now that they didn't have before.

A more realistic explanation is that they won the lottery and is able to afford a king's ransom
[About XDA developers] Svartsyn333:
There really is an update to come? Well, this is timing I guess. I just wrote an email to the developers today that I want to have my money back. It's better invested in Tapatalk app, which is on a 99¢ sale atm.
[About XDA developers] mrasquinho:
In the new update, I have to write my credentials every time I open the app... Could you please make a "save credentials" or auto-login option?

Thanks and thanks for the update!
[About XDA developers] d4c:
Well done bro, I would get my money back if I thought it was worth the effort, Really cannot be bothered for £1.

It is disappointing that xda of all people cannot get an app up and running, kind of ironic...
[About XDA developers] svetius:
That's so strange. I've been using version 4 for weeks and it has never logged me out.
[About XDA developers] waiters:
Same thing for me. Good thing I have a backup of the old version. Going to use that till this is sorted out.

Update: after some 15 log ins and a reboot or two... My credentials finally saved.
[About XDA developers] Svartsyn333:
Sure it's not worth the effort for such a small amount of money on the one hand. On the other, I was sick of never getting an answer when I wrote them and nothing happening. So I wanted to make a statement. If everyone, who is not satisfied with the app and support, claimed his or her money back it wouldn't be such a small amount for sure.

I just looked up how much was donated in total by buying the premium app. More than 50.000$! If this isn't enough to get an app to work and keep it updated and debugged, I really don't know...

[About XDA developers] svetius:
Really important:

If upgrading to version 4, clear app data before use. Also, if you are having other FC issues, uninstall and reinstall. Reason is because there are tremendous code differences between the 2.x version and 4.
[About XDA developers] mikiemc73:
Nice update
[About XDA developers] DF1E:
Will the new update come to free version too?
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Yes, in the coming weeks.
[About XDA developers] SteveG12543:
Thanks, was having the "sign in every time" thing going on, and would FC if I scrolled past the signature section in settings. Cleared things right up, will update review in the Play Store.
[About XDA developers] doctor_droid:
still missing option to report a post :( only reason i use forum runner ...will this feature be implemented anytime soon ? :confused:
[About XDA developers] Datzi:
Congratulations on the latest app. Really sweet designed and very smooth! Thanks!
[About XDA developers] mrasquinho:
Ok, I've deleted app data and now everything's working as expected. It's saving my credentials. Maybe some incompatibility with old and new version.

Regards
[About XDA developers] Mattix724:
I'm honestly happy with the latest update. I had the Tapatalk 4 beta for a while and this was really the only forum I frequently used.

And you guys do realize that the donations from the premium app also help to keep XDA online right? Yes, it should go towards keeping the app up to date but think about how much traffic XDA sees every single day... Someone's got to pay for that bandwidth and advertisements don't even come close to that.
[About XDA developers] BDProductions:
Agreed. $1.50 USD isn't much, but added up it should pay for reasonable software with reasonable features....

Disappointed in this version...
[About XDA developers] d4c:
Finally got the update for the new version and I must say it is a nice update. Shame it took 9 months to get to this stage. Let this be a lesson xda, you can't take people's money and not provide frequent updates. It just isn't the done thing, especially for an android development community...
[About XDA developers] Datzi:
Only one suggestion: Change that app name! A simple XDA would be the best. XDA Premium 4 is definitely too much! :P
[About XDA developers] d4c:
If you have an alternative launcher like nova or apex you can change it yourself...
[About XDA developers] Datzi:
When the app is on the homescreen, yes - But not in the app drawer... or am I missing something?
[About XDA developers] Scotty_Two:
I know brown is the XDA color, but brown with a dark theme? C'mon, that's just gross. Maybe it's time for an XDA rebrand.

Also, unless the app is actually loading (which I doubt since Tapatalk launches instantly) splash screens are bad UX.
[About XDA developers] brizey:
OK...where the hell did my subscribed forums go? Only the subscribed threads survived the update.
[About XDA developers] CraigP17:
Oh sexy new app
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
They are not stored on the server. Only subforums are. For example if you subscribe Nexus 7 Android Development it will show up both in the index site on the PC and app. If you subscribe Nexus 7, it's stored locally.
[About XDA developers] brizey:
Yes. But it should have still been there. I just updated, so all of the existing settings should have remained. If not, that's a pretty poorly done upgrade.

And also, why on earth would the top level forum subscriptions not be stored? Been meaning to ask that for a long time. I know it's the forum software, but wtf is that all about anyway? It's like they intentionally crippled it.
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
It's based on Tapatalk (unfortunately) and has almost all Tapatalk bugs. As svetius said the number of changes is so big, that a clearing of data is required.
[About XDA developers] detdett:
did the new update take away the ability to search within a particular thread? now there's only a general search function.
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
No. Search option is still present. You can find it in the upper right corner menu.
[About XDA developers] detdett:
that's strange. That option is present on my phone but not on my tablet.
[About XDA developers] Michael B.N.:
Isn't it possible to force the new version of the app to use English as language? The Danish translation is the worst I've ever seen and is a mess of Danish, English and at least one more language - maybe Polish...

It's almost impossible to use the app as you can't figure out the meaning of all settings etc.
[About XDA developers] detdett:
mine is set to English on start... not sure why yours is in Danish... Did you turn off the "translation" feature?
[About XDA developers] Michael B.N.:
Where do I find that feature?
[About XDA developers] andreasy:
Tapatalk is getting more and more unusable on xda while it runs prefect on some other forums that I use. That makes me think that there is something wrong on xda and its compatibility with tt. Maybe the plugin is outdated and needs reinstall or update.

I also bought version 4 of tapatalk hoping it will be better but I only see loading.... all the time even with the latest version, sometimes I see failed to connect to forum message.

Now that I see that there have been some changes recently, I assume that must be the cause because all the big issues started today or last night. Until yesterday I could use tapatalk in xda with some problems which would resolve by going back and forth. But today, it's completely different story..totally unusable. I need to go back and forth 20 times to make one successful.

Strong point here is that all other forums work fine, only xda has the issues.
[About XDA developers] detdett:
This is what I mean...

No search button whatsoever
[About XDA developers] andreasy:
Now it works. If you fixed something, some feedback should be useful as it may happen again. At least we should know where the problem lies.
[About XDA developers] mscott998:
Hate the update. Why can't xda create an original app. If I wanted the tapatalk app I would have installed it. Total crap of you ask me!
[About XDA developers] bajasur:
Anyone figure out how to search a user's posts? It appears this function is no longer with us....
[About XDA developers] d4c:
If you go in to your app drawer hold down the app icon and drag upto edit at the top you can edit in the app drawer. Hope this helps.
[About XDA developers] LoopDoGG79:
Correct, I have Tapatalk 4 on my tablet. Noticed you can only see participated, but actual posts anymore.
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Trust me, this 9 months bothered us more than it did you.

We are in a situation where Tapatalk develops our app. We very much want to bring that in-house so that we have more control and update much more often, but we just need a fantastic developer that can work with the Tapatalk forum API.

If you know anyone that might be able to help, please send me a PM. This is pretty high on the priority list.
[About XDA developers] svetius:
By far XDA is the largest forum in Tapatalk. Their plugin is not optimized to handle such a large forum. It needs to be rewritten but that is tremendously complicated. That said, it is something we are going to have to do.
[About XDA developers] DogzOfWar:
By the way, just updated to thee latest xda premium on my nexus 7 and I'm loving it
[About XDA developers] chevymusclecar:

[About XDA developers] Torlugic:
Have the paid app, new update works great for me! Thanks :)

Only question I have with the app is where did the quote button go to?

How often are updates going to come?

SlimBean 4.3 beta 2

Semaphore 3.1.0s
[About XDA developers] Reptilez_DK:
You tap the post you want to quote, then tap the message-like icon on the top of the screen. :) Hope it helps.

[About XDA developers] detdett:
it would be amazing if XDA allowed users to delete their own post or edit the threads appearing in the "participated" section.
[About XDA developers] detdett:
wow

seriously? again? this has got to be the second time this week now...
[About XDA developers] doctor_droid:
Yup its down and already informed on fb n twitter..these things happens when u have millions of users :)
[About XDA developers] detdett:
are you sure it's on twitter? I didn't see anything on its twitter handle its on FB though...
[About XDA developers] Datzi:
Nope. Nothing like this in Apex Launcher. When a hold the app I can either put on my homescreen or if I drag it towards the top de-install it or get the app infos. :\

Thanks anyway...

I had to revert to my version 2 backup of premium. The update is buggy. Forgets my login credentials and all of my subscribed forum links go to a blank screen.
[About XDA developers] LoopDoGG79:
Checked it out on playstore, ratings it has are horrid.
[About XDA developers] Jonny:
Did you follow the instructions and wipe app data?
[About XDA developers] brizey:
Pretty sure I did, but I have it on multiple devices and may not have done it on all of them. And for the record, there are no instructions. I just updated in the play store...there are no instructions, you just press update. Posting instructions in the description is bs...I actually think Google should ban it. It's 2013...apps should not need offline instructions.

It's absurd that you would have to wipe data in the first place. Kind of embarrassing, really. This is a paid app...just make it work. I expect this kind of stuff when trying roms made by some guy in his spare time, not with version 4 of a paid app.
[About XDA developers] bajasur:
I just reverted to the non paid version of the app until user post search and PM from thread capabilities come back....
[About XDA developers] Svartsyn333:
There are loads of posts with instructions in this thread. As you post here, one could think you'd read it, too.

[About XDA developers] d4c:
If it really does cost a fortune to update this app, I wouldn't expect an update anytime soon. I'm having a few issues but nothing as bad as before. I do sometimes get an imprint of the forum on my wallpaper on the home screen when I back out of the forum, but it's momentary, too fast to get a screenie.
[About XDA developers] Jonny:
No its not absurd. This happens in big app updates where a lot has changed within the code. I've had to do this myself as an app developer because for some reason using the existing sharedPreferences on one of my apps didn't work, I had to wipe data and start it again to get it to work properly.

When I say a lot has changed, tapatalk has made literally thousands of changes - from layout changes, preference changes to actual code changes, thus making it incompatible with the old sharedPreferences/sql lite database's that it stores data in.

This sort of thing happens all the time in ROM's... you ever had where you flashed one ROM over another of the same base (be it CM/Sense/Touchwiz etc) and found you had weird bugs like force closes etc? Why do you think most ROM makers put a "If coming from another ROM, a full wipe is highly recommended" notice in the OP of their thread? Similar thing happened here.

Also your attitude towards app developers frankly stinks - you ever coded an app? No? Then you don't know how hard it is to make sure the bugs are minimal over thousands of devices. This sort of "just make it work" self-entitled attitude is something I'd expect from an iPhone user, not an android user on XDA.

Now, I've been using the new XDA app for about 2-3 weeks and have only come across 1 bug in the release version, which is that when opening the app straight to the inbox (if the inbox was the last item opened before it was closed last time then it does this) the app will just crash, with no force close message, just takes me straight back to the app drawer. There are some quirks that take some getting used to if coming from the old app such as the back button behaviour - but this is a result of using the sliding panel layout and is common to other apps using this so I don't view this as a bug and I've gotten used to it.
