Hi all, I'm having an issue with the xda free app where it won't let me up load any images as attachments to my posts.

If I click the camera button at the bottom right of the screen and select "Gallery" it gives me the option of selecting an image, but once I've selected one all I get is a preview of the image with a cancel button.

Any idea what the problem is?

December I bought the XDA Premium App from Playstore. In December I payed 1.15 Euro for the App. And January 1.15 Euro too.? What about the rest of the year? Every Month 1.15 Euro?
[About XDA developers] :
Did you change or make a new Google account? If you have more than one Google account on your device, it sounds like the play store is now set for a different account than it was in December. And since app purchases are linked to one Google account only, You'd need to purchase any app you bought again with a different account. Check your Gmail account for the play store receipt emails. ?
[About XDA developers] GTI-9300:
It's the same account!

According to Google Play Store the amount has been calculated only once. But Monthly on my phone bill.

Sounds like you need to take it up with your carrier. You should only be charged once!

Reporting it here will bring it to our attention. But reporting it to Tapatalk would be the best course as they have to fix it on their end first.
[About XDA developers] creeve4:
How do we know that it is a Tapatalk bug? I have been using the same version of both the XDA app and the Tapatalk app before and after the issue began.
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
Your post from a few days back says that you see the issue in both Tapatalk and XDA App. However if you have not updated either app since before the issue began, there may be an issue with the Tapatalk plugin on our servers.

How can I login to the XDA Android App without the ability to type or paste my unique username into the text box?
[About XDA developers] vaindil:
I have an issue where I can't add picture attachments when editing a post, only when I first make the reply. If I try to add an attachment when I'm editing, I just get the box with only the cancel button. Nothing is clickable except the cancel button and tapping outside of the box cancels the attachment. (First attachment is when adding a new post or reply, second is when editing.)
[About XDA developers] :
Just a guess here, but if paste isn't an option, then you'd need a keyboard that supports the characters. Not much else I can see for a solution. And it's unlikely the app developers will add a paste option for this reason.

Obviously the other solution is a name change with characters available on any keyboard.

Perhaps someone in your situation will respond with their ideas. ?
[About XDA developers] :
[MENTION=4036181]Darth[/MENTION],

Thanks so much for your useful answer. I'll look around on Google for a "special characters" keyboard .apk file.

[About XDA developers] Neo:
copy/paste. The price we pay for uniqueness.
[About XDA developers] :
Yes, this was my first idea (check my original post, lol).

Do you have any special tips on pasting into the login text box of the XDA App? When I long-press the text box, nothing happens. :confused:
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
I use KeePass2Android as my password manager and it includes a built in keyboard for securely entering information without touching the clipboard. I've got special characters in all of my passwords and even apps that don't support copy/paste work with the autofill feature of K2A.
[About XDA developers] :
Thank you very much for the suggestion. Unfortunately, because of the ancient Android version I'm running (2.1 Éclair), I cannot use K2A (its required version is 4.0 Jellybean). :(

Anything else, anyone? Perhaps some alternate spelling which I can use?

I have done it - I signed into the XDA App! :p

After thinking for a few days, I remembered that you can use character references (a.k.a the &#number; notation) to type any Unicode character in existence into most app text boxes. Using my theory, I typed the text [see attached .txt] into the username box of the XDA App, typed in my password, and viola - I was signed in.

So, for example, if ΠΣΘ needed to sign into the XDA App and he couldn't type or paste his username, he could just type [see attached .txt] and he'd be good to go.

What do you guys think of that?
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
I think you have too much time on your hands. :p

But this is good for the future.
[About XDA developers] :
The whole process of getting the character reference codes, typing them into the XDA App, creating the .txt and making the post above literally took ten minutes. :p

How can I only get a list of subscribed topics in XDA Mobile application?

I participated in many threads don't want to get updated version of all on my list.

Not sure if that option exist easily without going to my profile etc.

Please reply with Quote.
[About XDA developers] :
You are automatically subscribed when you post in a thread. That's just how it works, on the website and mobile apps. You would need to un-subscribe to the thread to have it not show up in your subscribed list anymore.

You can do this from the apps or a browser. In the apps, just long press the thread from your subscription list, and choose un-subscribe. ?
[About XDA developers] IODroids:
Hi there thank you for your reply.

But participated and subscribed have a difference, I want to only see subscribed topics and not all participated.

Hope I am able to make you understand?

Example : many threads in off topic forums where I replied but did not subscribed too.
[About XDA developers] :
Yes they are different. Participated section will show every thread you've ever posted in. There is nothing you can do about that, on mobile or browsers.

The subscribed section you can control, by subscribing to threads, or just posting in that thread and it will auto subscribe. And you can un-subscribe to threads you don't want to follow anymore.

There's 2 separate sections for each in the apps. The subscribed section you can control... By un-subscribing to anything you want to leave the list.

I'm sorry, but other than that... Perhaps I'm not understanding?
[About XDA developers] IODroids:
Can we hide the thanks given in a topic on Mobile app. As it takes lot of resources {or remove linked url from profiled} or hide the same behind a spoiler?

Some threads take lot of time to load.
[About XDA developers] OfficerJimLahey:
I used to use the Participated tab for the "low-interest" stuff, but since the last time this conversation came up I used the participated tab less by subscribing to those threads, with lesser-tended-to stuff placed into it's own folder.

Ideally I want them all (subscribed threads) to show on my subscribed tab(s), but not receive push notifications for them all (as my phone has been too busy with active threads I only glance at and I've since resorted to turning off notifications altogether).

My suggestion is this: is there a way to exclude a folder (or allow/block certain folders) of subscribed threads from push notifications via the XDA app? Such a feature would allow me to stop using Participated altogether.

Thank you.
[About XDA developers] IODroids:
Unread + All + Participated as required

But give this another add on = Subscribed threads or Interesting threads or xyz. And I only want to list same everytime I login to application. I participate in 10000s of threads I don't care about. But subscribed topics is very Is very important for me when I browse XDA.

Just a step to better app.

If still confused let me know.

[About XDA developers] :
I believe you are referring to DevDB threads. Those features don't integrate with the apps. The apps are just for mobile convenience and don't have all the features/options of pc browsers on the full Web page.

And not all Development threads are DevDB threads either. It's up to the rom poster how they setup their threads. We can't do anything about that. It's their choice.

Hope that all makes sense. :)

Lollipop Issues with xda forum?

Hi,

I searched the forum about this problem and found very old threads about similar problems, but none showed a definitive solution to what I'm going through.

Since I updated my phone (Sony Xperia Z2, Stock ROM) for Lollipop 5.0.2, I have trouble accessing the xda forum by Tapatalk xda free app.

when I set up the forum for these applications, I can access the forum normally but a few hours or actions made by applications such as thank posts, I lose my access, even via browser I'm not able to access the forums, but on the other hand, I can access the portal normally.

In my searches on the forum I found similar cases:

1 - problems in some of the server configuration (I can't confirm that, LEL)

2 - ROMs with Lollipop having random bugs in hostnames and DNS resolution

-

Possible Solution (still testing): reflashing baseband

-

I created this topic to find other solutions to my problem.

sorry for the english provided by Google translator, if any part was meaningless, I can try to explain again.
[About XDA developers] orangekid:
You should post this issue in the Q&A forum of your device. I use Lollipop on 3 different phones currently, and they all work on XDA for tapatalk, XDA free app, and browser without the issues you're describing, so it has to be something in the ROM, or in your browser, or you connection etc..

But just in case it is an XDA app issue we'll see if anyone else reports the same.

[About XDA developers] gemies:
Hi guys, I have an issue. I was using the xda free app for a long time. I was not able to reply on threads and I thought it had something to do with the free edition. Now I bought the premium app and in some threads I can give a quick reply, but not in every thread like for example arhd thread for my HTC one m7. Does it have something to do with the xda app or is it the way the admin of a thread can choose in his settings? Thanks a lot, I hope you can help.

Ps:This post was done with xda premium app.

I'm seeing this too with the free app;. Odd thing is, if I click the link in email directing me to the thread that I was trying to access via the app itself, it opens fine (in the app). The error seems to just be a problem with the Favorites tab for me and is intermittent, but fails more than it works. Sometimes I get the error AND the threads list, sometimes just the error and no threads list.

I'm running a new ROM based off of Twi5ted Lollipop and using a SM-G900T. XDA app is XDA Free 3.9.8

Hello, I just want to mention few stuff.

When I connect with the xda android app it says "cannot connect to forum, check your Internet... (something more)" this disappear quick, then it says loading (with the animated loading circle) this never ends. But I can open the forum meny and choose anything on the meny and it all works like normal. This doesn't bother me, just a observation. Another thing, I can't find my picture/album in the app. I have posted my home screen in two threads by uploading pic through my Webb browser, I used the xda forum link to my pic and it works/shows on the browser. In the app the pic shows in one of the threads but not the other.

I know about the 10 post rule (external links). Is there a function to upload pics in the app? I cannot find it.

My device is: Samsung galaxy s4 mini (gt-i9195).

I have android kitkat 4.4.2 (rooted).

I use xda premium 4 Android app.

I use chrome browser to access xda forum on Internet through my phone.

I am sorry if this post is messy, I usually don't post and am not sure if this is the right place for this post. I use the forum mostly to gain information.

Regards, Tomas.

Whats even worse is they won't even fix bugs they were handed the solution too on a silver platter. The "premium" is only for them to earn money on, they don't care about the users. If they did, they would fix the bugs or atleast respond to the posts here.
[About XDA developers] sfx321:
Hello again. Trying out the xda free android app I fail to see the difference. The premium app is add free.. I see no ads in this app. There is a portal in the premium app, what is the function of the portal? Pressing the portal I get nothing, I have tried refreshing the portal, still nothing. The free xda app is translated into Swedish (great, I am a swed roaming Sweden :) ) the premium app shows only English. The free xda android app has a setting to show my device and the app I'm using (see bottom of post), I cannot find this setting in the xda premium app (i like to flash the device which I am using and the fact I am using the paid xda premium android app without typing it every time). What features does the premium app have that the free app doesnt? I cannot but feel a little dumb, what am I missing? Yes , another thing, while writing this I got a notice that someone posted in a thread I subscribe to. This never happened in the premium app, not saying this doesn't work in the premium app, just an observation.

Advice? Should I uninstall both apps and go all in for the xda forum through the browser?

(Edit; suggestions: just logg out from xda forum with the browser, functions I would like in the premium app is settings in the profile like birthday, country/city and other settings available on the xda forum with browser. Possibility to upload pictures with the app. Think about it. Re-edit; this edit was made with xda premium 4 Android app)
[About XDA developers] kealke:
The difference is simple. The free app is free, and has less bugs. They do that so you think the premium app might be worth it and you give them money. That seems to be all.

Ok, so just downloaded the XDA One app, it is working well. Miss some of the old app's features but nothing missing that is a big deal. Just a heads up for the rest having the issues with the old app.
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Just so you all know we are aware of this issue. The Tapatalk (and the XDA Premium/Free app) both slam the server so we were forced to restrict how often it connects, which is why you sometimes see those error messages. We are working on a more permanent solution.

For anyone wondering, the Free app uses the old Tapatalk code while the XDA Premium app uses the new Tapatalk codebase. That is the main difference.

Right now anyone using straight up Tapatalk may have issues connecting to forum. We are working to restore access as soon as possible. The XDA Free/premium should not be impacted.
[About XDA developers] kealke:
Bwahaha, right. The error messages are not sometimes, they are always. And what about the numerous other bugs, some of which solutions are already known and presented for?

I'll believe it when i see it, until there's real progress, the premium app is still just a way to get money out of our pockets. How about using that money for hardware, instead of filling pockets?

Just voicing concerns for alot of the "premium" app users here. At the moment there's nothing premium about it.

Very weak reaction to months and months of users reporting bugs if you ask me.

(In frustration I tried an alpha app "XDA One" and it has no problem loading XDA very fast. Could it be that it is not a server issue but a faulty Tapatalk plugin or configuration?
