Can someone fix this!?

Are you opening the specific forum from your favorites?
I noticed on mine, when I added a forum to my favorites, opened the forum from there....and tried to open a thread...FC.
But, if I open it from the root of the forums....without using favorites...it works.

force close on me too. anytime i try to read a thread

works fine for me reading threads as long as im not logged in.

same happens on mine wichever way I access the postings, wonder if it'll be fixed and when...

Same here. I can access everything fine until I login. Then every thread I open produces a force close.

does this work properly for anyone on an a500? who are able to view threads as a guest and whilst logged on, and reply and comment threads without a FC?

I can't view threads even if I'm logged in or not!

its not compatible fully for honeycomb i think

Me Too
Mine works as long as I don't try to run a search. Search = Force close

The premium Ver doesn't fc even when logged in, I think the non premium one is not compatble with honeycomb, and its large display.

Yeah well it's not fully compatible with Froyo either. Unfortunately the XDA app is a piece of crap and nobody seems inclined to fix it. You'll find copies of this thread in practically every tablet device forum on these boards. I had the same experience with my Viewsonic GTab running Froyo. These XDA crashes go back at least as far as last October.
Some people say if you buy the full app that it doesn't crash, but why would I spend money to buy something on faith when their "trial" app is crap?

So, if you want a specific forum app, go buy Tapatalk and forget about it.

Even xda premium doesn't work!!

I don't think they support the app anymore. Use TapaTalk.

Beware of android market malware

Redmondpie report here which is self explanatory....

Now thats what im talking about...

And both of these require users to download and install crap on their phones. The solution still seems to be to only download reputable apps from reputable devs.

Oh well,,time to install AVG!!!

Grr Google ...
So that is probably how my twitter account got hacked.
If the mallware can do all that mentioned in the article then I guess it will have no problem reading saved passwords like Gmail and others
Twitter account got hacked a while after starting to use Galaxy Tab, I am thinking the pass from Android was read by some mallware.
A Skype update mentioned a similar thing and asked to update.
If I remember correctly Android was supposed to allow each application to read/write its in its own area in the device, I guess that only applies to the ... "good-ware" applications, the mall-ware can read all the other data.
On the other hand Google can do a great job when it comes to not letting us see/install all applications because we are from some X country.

As Mulder on the X-Files used to say, “Trust No One”. Not even this site. Use your common sense and check the sources. Can you verify the information? Does the information sound balance and reasonable? Where else can you research this before you do something that cannot be fixed? At the end of the day, you are the last barrier of protection for yourself.

I switched from the XDA forum app to Tapatalk. The XDA forum app is a customized version of Tapatalk but isn't updated nearly as frequently. Tapatalk works fine.

I'd love to buy it but the greedy buggers at google have pulled all paid apps in Taiwan as a sneaky little blackmail attempt against the Taiwanese government. The local law here states that all consumers must have a 7 day money back guarantee if unsatisfied with a product, google offers 15 mins and refuse to budge so now have a huge fine to pay and we have no apps to buy.
I'd glady pay a $1.49 for it. This site has sorted out so many issues for me in the last month alone for it to be worth it

I think it's ridiculous to pay for an app to access a webpage that you can use perfectly fine for free in a browser. I found that none of these forums work well with the stock browser, but once I downloaded dolphin I find that the forums work fine, and I don't have to pay for any apps, or clutter up my device with an app that has no real use beyond what the browser already does.

Redundancy of the OP's complaint aside, none of those posts suggest a potential solution to the problem. Does anyone have one? This all stems from a seemingly broken constant connect to Google, which results in most, or all, of the following symptoms:
White connection bars instead of green
Inability to connect with Gtalk
Auto-Sync with any Google service (gmail) disabled, despite check in settings
Someone suggested they were getting a push for an update, but there have been no details, and I'm not seeing anything. Aside from switching back to 2.3.3 or to CM9, is there anything else we can try?

So supposably something went wrong during my update installation :thumbdown:

Most Verizon reps seem to think that rooting tampers with hardware... I've been down that road with the Samsung Fascinate. I wasn't thrilled to say the least but I was still able to get a replacement since they couldn't prove that it was the reason why the phone failed. My patience for tech support of any kind is fairly thin due to me being an avid tech enthusiast...

Id be interested to see if the new phone has the same issues, I have flashed back to 2.3.3 multiple times and OTA'd back to 2.3.4 , each time the same problem, gtalk broke and service bars stay grey, and google sync never works unless I manually do it.
I called verizon today and I to have no use for verizon tech support I think each time I was more knowledgeable about my phone and its software/firmware then whoever I was speaking to.
I posted my every bit of the useless conversation I had with verizon in the proper thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25807552#post25807552

I feel like Verizon for some reason rushed the release of this version of gingerbread. There is constant talk that sony let Verizon have it for not updating the phone on time. I smell a rushed update!

Sorry to be a nub amongst you. But, can anyone tell me what improvement 2.3.3 provides over 2.3.2 for r800x. Btw, I'm using a different carrier, running 2.3.2 and bootloader is locked(cwm recovery mode installed and working and rooted). Thanks in advance

Actually, the kernel was built in October, if you check the 2.3.4 build.prop, it'll tell you when it was built.

Pax I hear you I don't think it was sony getting on verizon about this several customers myself included demanded an update. I know one thing about verizon they want to stay big red so they are not going to have to many upset customers. the 2.3.3 update for the phones was in september. I wonder if Verizon will get an ICS build in june or july. I can dream cant I?

Known issue for almost 2 years. There is some workarounds for viber but isnt worth all of troubles cause it means using very old Viber version and very old rom plus it still have some issues. All in all forget about Voip apps like Viber, dev of app will not provide support cause it isnt officially Android phone and for rom devs honestly they dont care for this issues(i respect their hard work but this is truth). Only solution is Skype, last time i tried it worked on most of roms.
