[Q] Which do you use most: app or web? - Epic 4G General

Pretty simple poll here, just want to know if most people use the XDA app more often or if they're more often using the web to access XDA.
Some people put half their message in the subject, and last time I checked, those don't show up in the app. Maybe some confusion could be avoided if we stopped using message subjects altogether, no?

I would say I'm about 99% web (visit often while 'working'). And for the record, I think I left this open for 30 days.

Definitely apps

When I 'feel' I have something important to share, I feel as if I need to spew it all from my laptop.. lol also when I have attachments to share, (without using db) but since db can be used, mostly app for me.

I tried the app, but it really sucks. In fact, I don't know why I still have it installed.
EDIT: Just uninstalled it and purged the backups of it. Good riddance!

When I am home and have the laptop open I will use the browser. When I am out I use the XDA app. I am probably on it more on the phone than the computer.

99% app. Even with its drawbacks just dang convenient.

The app got the thanks button...now if it gets multi quote

If you mean xda only, then I would say the last 5 months its been xda 100% of the time for me. But if you mean things like g+, I went the web way, just because I use gmail app to get G+ notifications, banking, ebay, paypal, things like that I use the websites from my phone, not the apps.

Another user and I'm sure many others too, have mentioned downloading the tapatalk app from Samsung apps supposedly the same thing as the xda paid app version.

I would say 75% app all of the time. I use tapatalk, there's other forums I can follow also.
The app is so easy to scan for updates on my phone.

Why phone designed apps are awesome for Xoom

THE ADS ARE SOOO SMALL!!! XD
I love it's especially on the xda app, its in the bottom left hand corner, and is barely noticable.
Someone should start a thread on good apps that work on the Xoom, or start it here, I personally would but I'm new to android, which is why I would like to know some good apps. I mostly operate off 3g connection, which is why I don't want to try the download and try and delete method.
3 gigs 35 dollar $-$ wtf.
Ill start with what I have downloaded that's not a tablet app and works fine.
-Xda (obviously)
-Astro file manager
-skype (I read somewhere that they were going to make a tablet specific version for a fee)
-Dr Webb for android
That's all really.
Two that I dl'd that didn't work were vevo and pocketcloud
Vevo didn't play videos at all but I haven't tried on wifi yet.
Pocketcloud worked like it should with massive lag even on wifi, might just be cause its a free app, I dont know, like I mentioned thus is my first android device. And I must say, it wins.
Anyway, please help me find great apps and ill return the favor.
One awesome one for tablets is PewPew

Lol, I hadn't noticed the ad until you mentioned it. Just loaded xda on my xoom.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
yeah i love that. but im sure they will change it and have ads take up more space.
Pay for the premium XDA app. Support the community and it's only $0.99 . I paid for it and I love the XDA theme and being able to set the app up the way I want it.
My xda app crashes all the time. At first I thought it was my rooted evo, but it does the same thing at the same place on the xoom. Hard to pay for something that keeps fc'ing.

If a tablet version is made, I will definitely buy the app. There are a lot of features I'd like to take advantage off that's not in the free app. But the free app does freeze a lot, right now I'm not even able to get into it because it's been stuck at the XDA loading screen. I can't seem to get it past that.
And I know they're going to make tablet apps with Huge ads, thats why phone apps are better
Hopefully they do make a tablet app for XDA tho, I'll even pay $2 if it has most the features of the site.

When they take out the unneeded permissions (GPS, phone identity) I will. Till then I use the web browser.
Go to manage applications in settings and reset the cache for the XDA App and it should fix the problem.

App partition and it is a waste!

Okay so it seems like a wwaste to me since you guys know I probably have the most apps counting at 477 user apps and it seems like a waste that nobody has this many and uses the 2gb I have 500mb left and I could sure use those.
How many apps do you have and space left?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I have about 60 apps that I restore on a new build... anything above that, I consider wasted finger flicks/time.
I dont dont have that many, but I use about 500mb, so I have alot of app space left, and the number of apps I use gets lower and lower each flash lol
Have between 50 and 60. Don't need anymore than that.
I have 102. Restoring is so fun... :/

No issue at all if you have the paid version of Titanium Backup... best purchase everzzzzz
I have 76 apps (less if I uninstall the ones I don't use), with 1.6GB free. Waste of space indeed.
Just have bank of America and MLB 2011. That's it. Oh, root explorer and xda premium. The rest are system apps that are part of malice. 51 total between market apps and system apps.

[Q] Getting Pop up ads on Xoom browser?!

I just opened up my browser today and I'm getting pop up ads on the bottom left corner now on almost all websites. I haven't installed anything new for at least a week. Anyone else have issues like this?
nope, but I use ad free
I am convinced that it has to be something to do with software installed because the size of the pop up is the same on all web pages. It is ads for dating web sites, the built in pop up blocked doesn't seem to block it aned I'm not sure that Norton is designed to, but it isn't blocking either. I guess I will have to uninstall some apps to see if there is one causing the pop ups.
It's abnormal to have ads in browser, but show in parameters if if you have no popup check.

Yes the free wifi can come with pop ups.

New Notification

I've been running CM7 since the last "Alpha" release and have it updated with the Oct 22 update. I don't recall exactly when, but I started recieving these "optout" notifications. I don't know if it's related to CM7 or something else, but they're not cool at all . Does anyone know where they're coming from or how to stop them?

The only app I have installed now that was not before I switched to CM7 is Go SMS Pro. Has anyone had any experience with it?
Go sms pro doesn't do that, but i don't use go fb chat. What opens when you click it?

Found this after a bit of research. Looks like an adbased app on your phone is using their apk. Seems they do support opt out, but aren't doing a good job a securing your identity period.

I'm not going to click those %^#$%#$%#$ Spam messages... I clear all the notifications. The only features of Go SMS Pro I use are SMS & MMS. I don't have Facebook, Myspace, Google+ or any other "Social networking" (Read: Stalking) crap. Want nothing to do with any of them. Any ideas how I can track down where it came from? I've looked at the installed apps and services with Titanium Backup and nothing stands out. Unless One of the other apps got 'updated' to include this new 'feature', Go SMS seems the most likely suspect at the moment.

wats a myspace?
Although I usually have 150-200+ apps installed at any one time, I started getting those annoying little "notifications" almost as soon as I installed the free version of the IPhone keyboard. Not cool at all...
How often do they come up? Is it at a predetermined time or is it random? A relatively easy way to narrow it down may be to look at market reviews of suspected apps.
Girlfriend had this problem. There's an app called airpush detector on the market. Download it to see what's causing the ads
