Search button - Epic 4G General

Whenever I press the hard searchkey, it doesn't work. But every other one on the keyboard does. And when I try to use the capacitive search button, it blinks but does nothing. Is this a known issue? I'm sorry if it is, but there's no way to know for me because whenever I use the search function in the xda app, it forcecloses -_- am I just unlucky with searches?

Sounds like you have some defective hardware. I'd take it back and get a new one.

I bought it from best buy a few days ago. Would the give me a brand new phone, or a refurbished one? It sucks cuz they were working before today

They should just swap it out in the store and give you a brand new one.

Ok thanks. Ima do a factory reset and see if it was a little software problem considering the capacitive touch button blinks when I press it. If not, the ima just exchange it like you suggested. Hopefully I get one with a working gps too

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...

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).

Edit: hmmm this time no FC and fully able to edit message....weird...
Mine just crashed using quotes. Seems to work fine otherwise.

XDA app doesn't do that for me, but Taptalk does.

yeah i get the FC for tapatalk
Constant force-closes on the XDA app for me - though lately it's been better. Also, it constantly gets stuck while loading - I have to hit the "back" button and tap again, and it'll work.
I find that I get fewer force-closes if I have WiFi on.
I get it in the XDA app also although i doubt this may be it but I've replied to a few posts and when I reply with softkeyboard it seems to send with no issue. If i use the hardwarekeyboard even if i close it then hit submit i seem to still get the FC. Im not sure if thats something to look into cuz it may be the length of the post also. When i have something short and simple i use the softkeyboard and when its long i use the hardware one so maybe happening on longer posts/replies???
Using tapatalk. No fc's but it gets stuck alot.

Gimpy keyboard

Has anybody had a problem with their "R" key not being good on the keyboard? Like you can hit it and it won't actuate and show up in text fields unless you press it hard? This has been the case with mine, and a girl at Sprint store said she'd heard that from other people. Just wanted to find out if anybody else had this.

[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?

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 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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.
