[App] xda premium

I am surprised no one has brought it up yet here. Running great on my evo! Loads everything properly, which the free app waant for me. Loads it a little faster too so far! Hopefully they release more themes. Only negative is it doesn't seem to hide the status bar.

tapatalk is good too, is there a difference?

Is search still broken and does it still force-close all the time?

I don't have either of those problems on either app. I havn't had the free version fc a single time.

Thanks, works awesome and much better looking with more features

If you use your phone's search button within the App, you can successfully search? I get immediate FC and many have the same problem.
I'm more curious about the other FCs - that others have seen as well - when doing something random like changing a page or viewing an attached image. Seems like it happens most when the app has been open for a while. Can almost expect it at times. Might have to check this premium version out, didn't even know it WAS out! Thanks.

No problem.
I have never had any force closes doing anything? lucky i guess haha.
I can't help you with the search though, the rom i use has it disabled apparently.. didn't know that!

I fully agree with you with my HTC Vision running stock froyo.
Search is a 100% FC.
To avoid the other type I have always to get out the topic and exiting XDA App, before minimizing/doing something else.
Is this version solving?

I'll probably buy it just to support xda. However every single time I back out of a topic after I have been out if the app for a few mins or the next time I open it, I always get a force close. Every single time I can replicate it. I have to restart the app so it wont force close

I cant tell you... i never got these fcs... i must have a magic phone. I am flashing another rom haha. So i will tell you if search causes fc soon.
Edit: the search button does nothing at all now... lol

It's a good looking app... also Ad-free! Only available for a limited time.. so for a dollar, may as well get it while you can.

Paid XDA is still plagued with same issues as free. Back to tapatalk

Not Receiving Market App Update Notifications

I've had this problem for months on all sorts of ROMs but never put much thought into it.
Is there a fix? I NEVER know if updates are available until I hit up the market.

Go to market, menu button>settings>notify me

I should have mentioned that I had that option selected. I've also tried clearing the cache, etc, with no luck.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

I think the Market just sucks at notifying you. Its never been very good at notifying on my G1, mytouch slide, or the Vibrant, so its gotta be the Market.

I thought so too, but notifications work perfectly on my rooted Nook.

I've tried that before with no luck. What's really weird is that my market cache is always 0.0kb in size as well.
I wonder if I have an app or something that is blocking it. Right before I installed Bionix 1.3 I formatted my internal sd (just because I had never done so) and I received market notifications then and thought that maybe it was just clutter. But the issue is back. Super weird.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

I also don't receive update notifications until I open my market. I just let programs update automatically, and check it every once in a while for manual updates due to apps requesting new permissions.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

I think its a market issue. Its hit or miss for me. Sometimes I get them and sometimes I dont.

I don't know if this is a 2.2 issue or not but ever since i updated, my market has been acting iffy...along with a few other samsung widgets. I don't know if it's a server issue or something with 2.2 on our phones but i know a few people that started having that problem as soon as they updated to 2.2.

Same market issue here, hardly ever get notifications on updates. However whenever I open market all the notifications come up

I'm with everyone else, I don't think I've ever gotten notifications before. My gf's phone doesn't get hers either and shes using a MyTouch Slide. I do get notifications right after I close the Market, but never before.
I think its purely a market issue.

It worked perfectly on android 1.1 with the G1 back then, but since 1.5 its been hit or miss .... guess its been over looked by the OEM, when putting together roms for their devices ... Or it can just be an issue with google's servers .. I just made it a habit to check every day for updates ..

Mine works it seems to work every 3-4 days on notifying me. But, it hangs in the download so I end up doing manual update.
This method go to Market> type find updates or update apps then it seems to find them
The auto update is kinda flaky and unreliable

What's weird about it, at least to me, is that it works perfect on my rooted nook and with the honeycomb demo for my nook. At least I'm not the only SGS owner with issues.

Wait... you think this is a bug/bad thing?
OMG I'd be thrilled to never receive market update notifications, instead, I have to manually kill the service every reboot (even with "do not notify me" set) and often uninstall unwanted updates from my themed apps in /system/app until I have time to theme them.
Royal pain, I'd love to never have updates, lol.

Getting a ton of force closes

It just started today. Anyone else?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Nope may want to check the latest app that you have installed or any recent updates
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Yeah backtrack your apps install and see what is causing the FC's.
I have two with a third on the way(long story) but nothing wrong with any one of them. Before the update the first one had a few lockups on the browser but after the update neither one had any lockups or FC's.
I have installed all types of apps just to see what will or will not work. Very few FC's if any at all. But I kept track of which apps caused the FC's to remove them until they get updated.

Its on apps like CNN and Facebook which have been working fine before. I guess I will try to track it back.

i get a lot of force closes with the browser and the CNN app. try killing the process as well as the cached process. theres two options. you will see it under 'running applications'

Only force close for me from the Facebook app so far is when I try to load the home screen widget. Slightly annoying.

I've had more FCs than I do on my rock-stable Droid 2 with Fission, esp. in the browser, but I suspect it's because Honeycomb is new.
It'll get more stable as Google handles bug reports and as devs learn how to use the new APIs.
Also, strict mode, which I need to get on, myself.

The FCs I get are retarded. I only seem to get them when I'm exiting out of the app anyways. I did get a FC once when I was using the Facebook app going from the stream to the home page thing, but it didn't actually close the app. So it's more annoying than anything.

the facebook widget and app are not designed for honeycomb, and many have stated it FCs. i would not use it for now. I use the app and it seems to work fine (not pretty, but works).
Also, OP. I used to get a tons of FCs in the browser and CNN. I cleared caches and uninstalled, but sometimes still the same thing. Try rebooting. I know it sounds cliched and the standard windows answer, but it honestly worked for me. I haven't had a FC in a while...knock on wood.

facebook is hit and miss. Sometimes after a boot the facebook app will work. Sometimes it won't. When it isn't working it will just fc constantly and is completely useless. The add account never works. The widget never updates.
Facebook is uninstalled till they fix it.

I get FC randomly, on random apps.. I report all of them.

Iv been getting a lot of FC's also.. even before I installed apps.. just seems that this is a lot more buggy then it should be.

Only FC I get is with the xda app, but that bug has been around for a long time. I dont use the facebook app and stopped using the CNN widget due to it slowing down the home screen. The app works fine for me though. On stock 3.0.1

this is a known issue and hopefully someone is working on it.
Tapatalk is basically the same app and works fine

i have the same and I paid for the app.......is anybody actively fixing this?

I have been using the XDA app since day 1. The only thing I have found I have to do is exit fully when done. I.e. I hit the back button till the app closes. If I leave it open for any significant time in the background it either gets stuck on the splash or whatever page I was on last. At that stage I force close and reopen it.

for some unknown reason the app works fine on the verizon xoom, but FCs for wifi-only; someone reported the same problem on the wifi-only transformer, so its got something to do with honeycomb without mobile data (some kind of id# or something?)

Wow. Really? So THAT'S why it crashes on tablets? I had always assumed it had something to do with the resolution being much higher than on a phone, but since you say the Verizon XOOM works, that blows that theory out of the water... I am going to see if my superiors have any idea why this is happening or if they can contact Tapatalk to fix the problem.

Fyi this problem does not exist on tapatalk.. has to do with something xda does differently

Also goes along with what I've heard in the past... From what I've read, Tapatalk's standard client used to have this issue, but then it was fixed. Perhaps the XDA app can be rebased to the newer Tapatalk.

I have had no FC's on my WiFi only Canadian MZ604.
What I do have, though, is a weird scrolling issue on certain threads where the text will copy itself onto every pixel it crosses until I stop scrolling and the screen refreshes.
I did note that it seems to happen mostly with hyperlinked text. Another possibility is text that has had it's color changed. Will have to play around with it some more to confirm this.

i just use the browser now. Its no big deal with the bigger screen.

It would FC on my Nook Color as well, which is wifi only. I was hoping for a better experience once I got my Xoom wifi (I also got the paid app) but it behaves exactly the same: as soon as I log in it FCs.

There is currently not a Facebook app in the market. They haven't optimized it for Honeycomb yet, but you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143913&highlight=kanged and that should work. The only issue I have with it, is that the friends list part force closes.

There is actually a Honeycomb/Tablet edition, though in beta...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handmark.friendstream&feature=search_result
Works well for me, and definately less crashes than the native Facebook for Android app...

I've actually gone so far as to uninstall the official Facebook on my Vibrant running CM 7. With the last update on July 18th, for some reason, even if you set it to never poll for notifications, never refresh, and not to sync, it still keeps the news feed open in the background and constantly refreshes it. I noticed huge battery drain one day when I took my phone off of the charger, barely used it all day, and later that night around 11 I had 14 percent battery warning. When I looked into the battery history, Facebook took up a whopping 81 percent of the battery drain on that particular charge.
Will stick to using the 3rd party options.

There are a lot of apps that you won't find in the market because they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb. I normally just install them on my phone, pull the apk, then transfer it to my tab. So far every app I tried worked just fine including fb and google voice.

Friendcaster for Tab seems great to me, but it loads continuously when I select the messages tab, not showing anything... if that'll be solved, and chat will be added, it will be the perfect FB app for me!
PS: anyone solved the messages issue?

My Messages tab does that too, as does the Events tab. Very annoying. I really hope a new beta's released soon. I sent the dev a PM about it but haven't heard anything back yet.
Strangely enough, I've seen a walkthrough video of the app (on Android Central I think) which showed them using the Messages and Events tab both working fine.
EDIT: New beta just released fixes the Messages issue, but I still have problems with Events.
