XDA App force close

I tried to search this but since "xda app" is in so many sigs I can't find information.
When I post anything the xda app will force close and I have to sign in again. Is there a fix for this?
(I will now post this and kill the app.)
EDIT: posing a new thread didn't kill it.

This happens to me as well. Replying to a thread force closes the app on the Vibrant, but the post gets posted anyway.

I am also seeing this happen. I also noticed when I sign back in the swype keyboard is locked. Pressing any button will cause the app to try and sign back in. I will have to pull up another input method and then revert back to be able to type.

Ditto.

The fix for that is to turn it to landscape and enter the password. Not sure why, but it works.
So... We have concluded that the XDA App has a problem. Who fixes these kinds of things?

Mine worked fine for a while, now does the Force CLose with every post. Nothing changed in between working OK and FC state.
EDIT - I have a captivate.

haha...i thought I was the only one with this problem.

Same problem here.
New post doesn't kill it, but replies do.

I guess this is a Galaxy s problem. Still no solution?

pretty sure its an issue with the app itself, not the phone.

It's not just galaxyS. I'm back on my MT3G and while I don't get fc, I am forced to the login screen after (almost) every post. On the vibrant, it would fc but it seems to be the same bug. I would comment in the market so the app devs know about it.

One buggy app.

Happens on my Vibe too.

Yeah it used to do this on my G1 as well. Buggy app indeed but I still use it daily.

Consider buying the full tapatalk app, that's what the XDA app is based on. Some recent updates have made it a LOT more stable. Not perfect, but I don't get kicked out to the login prompt and such anymore.

Lol def a widespread issue, always happened to me but at least the post goes through do I've never thought to bring it up...kinda smart tip do do given this iiiiis a dev board, lol
Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...
Dont mind the skidmarks...

XDA fc's on tapatalk too, dont know whats up with that.

Xda app crashes every time I post

Is this just me? Every time i reply to a post, I get a force close. This has happened on almost every firmware I've tried.
Just me?

Same here, it crashes everytime, do not know, but I think this is not a firmware thing, but a xda app thing....

are you guys on Froyo or 2.1 ?
i'm using it just fine, no errors, i use it very often to check my PMs and post back on the go

I had the same a few days ago.however somehow the problem got solved and now I don't get these FC's anymore when posting a message...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Same here but not always. I just ignore it coz my message still gets posted.

there was recengly an upgrade to the XDA forum App
maybe that's the difference?

Me too...

Mine is a clean install and the latest version. Guess its just a bit crap then... much like the official UK ebay app as well then.
Oh to top it off my phone decided it had enough and went to sleep again.

Mine crashes too (fresh install)

mine was upgraded from the older verison

Posted here earlier that my problems were gone, but I just had another FC after posting elsewhere...
Also, when trying to edit a previous message I seem unable to type anything; the keyboard appears on my screen, but touching it gives a feedback that is the same as touching in a textbox (I can move cursor and select text etc.instead of typing with the virtual keyboard that is displayed).

Mine just crashed using quotes. Seems to work fine otherwise.

I had the captivate and the vibrant (friends phone ) and all the samsungs seem to do that. Have no idea why my fascinate does that too.
they call me...kick ass

New update is working great.
good day. From my fascinate with xda app.

And another for good measure. If I don't reply it worked perfectly again.

I use Better Keyboard, and xda sometimes force closes on me while replying as well, with no rhyme or reason as far as I can tell. The reply always goes through before it actually crashes though, so I've never had to redo a post.

Does it happen after updating today? That's why I double posted to make sure it didn't happen again. And it hasn't happened since todays update.

[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.

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

I've just bought Tapatalk and it does not fc. The problem here is that the search button seems not to be an option to search inside a topic!!!

I get FC on search function and can't upload .png files? Kinda crappy. If those two are fixed i'll buy.

Xda app

Shame the XDA app forces closed on Xoom... does anyone have a workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App

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

I have the Verizon xoom as well and I never had a force close. It does act weird sometimes, but it does on my nexus one as well.

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.

This happens to me on both xda and tapatalk, I think its a combo of hyperlinks and long texts... weird thing is, it happens in quoted text too, but not in the post that quotes the text

This mirrors my experience as well. Zero FCs since day one but do see the scrolling issues.

I would agree with you, but vBulletin forums (like XDA) are unacceptably laggy in typing posts on the Xoom.
That, and it's good to have options.
