Yes. Mine keeps claiming that it's unable to reach the server.

Mine seems to be working ok. Which part of the app is giving you problems?

XDA App FC's [Wifi Xoom]

Like the title says XDA app force closes when trying to create a new post every time. It also force closes when I try to hit the back button to exit. When I go back into the app it loses my login settings.
Have tried a factory restore and uninstalling/reinstalling the app. No luck. Seen a few more force closes in other apps too. Should I exchange this thing or what?
Its not the zoom fool. Same thing.happens on my epic. Im constantly deleting and reinstalling xda app. Somethings horridly wrong with it lol

I assumed it worked somewhat. Since people are posting for the app with their Xoom. I will give it a few days and see.

Looks like original tapatalk works for those that are having the same problem.

I had the same exact problem with the xda premium app on the xoom; also i sometimes got FC problems on my galaxy tab with the same app but most of the time it worked normally on the tab. Now it consistently FC on the same doing the same actions as in your situation.
It has the same problem on the Gtablet. You know though, if you have 10 inches of viewing space just make a bookmark in your browser and put a link on your desktop.

Lol... the app designed for one of the largest android communities on the planet is freakin broken? I would chalk that up as extremely embarrassing.
Use Tap Talk Pro, it is basically the same thing. And works for many other forums too.
No problem on my nexus S ....
Is there any plan for Honeycomb optimized XDA App?
With thread list in the left and content in the right.
That would be awesome

XDA (non premium) app FC's on my new Wifi Xoom. But it works fine on my Dinc, fwiw. Hopefully someone in XDA Developers can find a solution. I also don't understand why the XDA web site is so slow on the Xoom browser. Much slower to load than every other website that I regularly visit. Don't see this on my Win7 PC using Chrome.

I agree and has been the case since I got my Xoom (slow in browser and slow to type).
Same problems with my MZ604 as well. I can reproduce a crash every time by logging in, click a forum, then click an individual post, kaboom. Even if I click into a few different forums first, once I hit a post, FC.
I've been able to view posts before, but once I clicked on a post with an attachment it no longer worked until a reinstall.
I also get this weird problem with xda app on the xoom where the op kind of blurs and slows everything down when scrolling, even if its quoted. I've been using tapatalk on the xoom instead

Does drop box work on the N7?

Whenever I open dropbox, get "dropbox has stopped working" is it just me, or does it just not work?

Works for me, but whenever I get an app that does that I clear the cache and data then reboot and log in again. So far that has cleared up any issue with an app that is compatible with any of my devices.
Been working fine for me since day one. Have you tried re-installing?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Perfectly okay with me. I can even stream movies from my Drop Box without cluttering with my clearwire 1.5 Mbps wifi !

Clear app data and cache. Uninstall then reinstall.
Tried all of the above and still doesn't work, I'm using the tablet UI if that has anything to do with it, but I doubt it would.

Did you tweak the dpi? Does any other cloud service do the same? Try minus, cubby, skydrive, etc...
But saying that, dropbox has been working since day 1 for me as well.

That's why it does not work. Go back to the standard dpi and get it setup. I think you can then change dpi and it will work.

I used the True Tablet Ui Patch (Link) And completely forgot to make a backup beforehand, Not sure if I can just change the DPI back again, But I'll check.
Edit: I can't, The DPI is currently at 213 |:

Play Store App flickers when downloading. Anybody?

I'm not sure if this has been discussed or not on the forms here. This is kind of hard to explain..Whenever I'm browsing in the Play Store app on the N10, during a download the app itself flickers (almost like its refreshing) whenever the percentage moves during the downloading process. This has happened way before the updates to the Play Store app as well. I'm running CM 10.1 (Nightly) and the issue is still there. This was one of the first things I noticed when I was running stock too. I was kind of hoping that Play Store Version 4.0.26 fixed it but I guess not.
Has anybody noticed this issue? I highly doubt this a hardware related issue. Games seem to run awesome on it.
Any ideas?
- Brian
I have had the same issue since I got mine in December, running stock.
I've had this issue under JB 4.2 and ICS 4.0 on an Acer a500 and the Nexus N10, no fix found yet.
I get this too… it seems to me like a refresh issue, like the Play Store is trying to load up other images or something. Since no other app does this, I'm pretty sure it's just an app issue.
I've seen it on every rom, every version of the play Store... It may be the refresh for the download causing issues

Omg, it just refreshes. Is that so annoying?

Yes, because it makes scrolling through 'My Apps' a royal PITA. And sometimes, if its particularly fickle, it keeps returning to one single app over and over.
Thanks for the reply back guys. I didn't know if it was a hardware related or if its just a bug in the app itself. I see that version 4.0,27 got released today. Hopefully this will help!
@bahehs..Do you have jokes or something? I remember my first beer.

Still flickers for me, but at least it doesn't reset to the top of the list every time it flickers now.
Same issue when I'm viewing all my apps during download. Since I can now scroll through my apps during download I don't worry about it much anymore.

When I'm updating multiple apps, it will keep refreshing the first one to the point that I can't click on the next app in line to be updated, because I want to see what the new update has added or changed.
I have the same issue (flickering shop) on my Nexus 7. I've noticed that it happens while downloading larger files, especially games. Sometimes it freezes Google Play completely.
So far I haven't noticed it on my Nexus 10. (But it has different version of Google Play, as far as I can tell).
The latest play store 4.xx resolved my flickers.

Yup, flashing, barely able to see what was going on be it downloading an app or copying a film from a flash drive. Installed AOPK and it is fixed, one solid moving bar as it ought to be.
Mine does this as well. I just leave the play store so I don't have to deal with it. Completely stock.
I get this with paranoid android, but had it before changing. It not only flickers, but when I'm downloading, say, Gmail, and go to another app while in the "My Apps" view, it will revert back to Gmail. Very annoying.

YouTube overlay problem

I've been trying to play a video off and on all day, but this weird overlay keeps covering up the screen and I can't get it to go away unless I restart. It looks like the Chromecast overlay, but it's been uninstalled, plus I'm not on Wi-Fi. Can anyone explain this?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I clicked on a link to watch a video and noticed the same thing on my YouTube app as well.
Thought I accidentally clicked on something to show that symbol and couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.
Glad to know that it's not just me,.....but hoping to figure out how to get rid of it :-/
I have the same issue on mine at times too. Would love to disable whatever service/feature that icon represents!

Unfortunately uninstalling the updates and not reinstalling them is the only way I can keep it off my screen. As Bsmith states, it does appear to be a known issue according to the comments being left on YouTube in the play store. It is also related to using a Bluetooth connection and the similarity to how Chromecast connects.

And WTF is this?

I know this is probably more related to the actual FB app but I feel like it's a complete violation of privacy and I don't particularly want this happening but can not seem to find a setting to turn it off.. Here is a scenario where this would be completely out of place and unacceptable..
You take a picture of something private .. You or a friend gets your phone and opens the Facebook app... Oh look the last 3 pics you took.... Really? WTF? Anyone know how to turn this off?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Check settings. Turn off facebook sync photos.
Just using Facebook is violation of privacy. Even if you find away to turn it off that feature; Facebook is always sucking up information from your device (contacts, location, call logs, pictures, and so on). This is one of the reason I don't use Facebook.

That's definitely true... Makes me sad. I think in this issue though the most disturbing thing is that it's accessing another app (gallery) and then putting the 3 most recent pics in the app (suggesting) you post them. Who's to say their appropriate to post. I don't like this at all.

Guys, just get another app for Facebook. There's tons of apps that don't these extra permissions and don't steal your data, AND THEY RUN BETTER than the stock Facebook app. Example : fast for facebook (search it!)

So it ends up looking like this. I tapped on my post, so I could quote your post. Because it always highlights the one above it. Don't say random stuff if you don't know what you're talking about. Obviously if I could have quoted I would've done it. Been doing this a while....

Yes that is a bug. However if you tap the time at the right hand side of each post, the corresponding post is highlighted, not the one above it.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... Sorry for being abrasive. Just been very frustrated with the XDA app lately. It used to be so much easier to use.
