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

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.

[Q] Is it laggy?

Hi to all the Iconia Users,
Guys, I am thinking about buying the A500, but I have been put off a little by comments about the unit being laggy and non-responsive.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and love it. It does everything I ever ask and does it without a moments hesitation. I also went out and bought a Samsung Tab 7inch, but have found it to be very laggy and Samsung are hopeless at supporting their devices with upgrades. I don't want to make the same mistake again. Do you guys find the A500 slow and unresponsive? Especially with web browsing and emails? I would use the device for mainly browsing, powerpoint, reading pdfs, and maybe remote access to the work computer. Do you think the A500 can cut it?? Thanks for your replys.....

I have a EVO 3d and the a500 and I don't think the tab is laggy when its in portrait with the ffc is on the left side. But any other orientation it can be a little slow to respond. But I only noticed that on the home screen.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk

I had some lag on the home screen etc.. but that was down to a stupidly hungry live background.. fixed with a static wallpaper..
I have noticed some noticeable lag with the stock browser, my initial switch to MXBrowser seemed to fix it but this is now also giving some lag.. but this is down to the browser not the dev itself

Install only quality apps that do not keep running in background and it will run fine. I would buy this again.

I experienced this same issue and fixed with a static image as well. other than that it performs splendidly.

Even a Core i7 computer lags if you don't maintain it. This thing has the same cpu and ram as 5 other devices in the market with the same spec that cost more.
Use a custom rom that have stock apps remove because those tend to slow things down. Personally I use a background composed of a black image 1x1 pixel. There are people who said you don't need Task Killer but my experience digress.

Thanks guys!
It looks like I might soon be an A500 Acerian.

You may want to consider the A501. Has a 3g sim for data when you're not near a Wifi. Same device as the A500, just the 3g (no, it is not the same as GSM)

No. I actually have a SIM with unlimited data laying around (for which I pay the fee and don't use) but i still choose the wifi version. There is even a kernel which enables USB tethering but wifi tethering works out of the box with my Desire HD (infrastructure mode but I suppose SGS2 uses that too, for ad-hoc you'll have to change some files). I'm on vacation right now and for two weeks I have my phone on the charger next to the window (wifi tethering is really power hungry) and I'm down by the pool with the Acer.

Well the picture is taken from the window I had my DHD near so I'd guess about 30 meters or something like that. Also you should know that the DHD is not known for it's best wifi performance. All alluminum phones suffer from that and it's inevitable. The connection was weak (1 bar) but stable, which is much more impotrant as the 3G network speed is not that great either. All in all I'm pretty pleased with its performance (I honestly did not expect it to work anyway)

No.
The way things were before I stopped using it, you can either have WiFi broken, or 3G broken. You cannot have both working, and have the phone change between the two of them.
Battery life is horrible with it. 50% worse than touchwiz roms.
It is really not worth using until it is ready, and it is not near that level yet.

Classy.
On 10-22, WiFi would cut out every now and then.
After updating to 11-24, WiFi no longer worked, period. There was a fix zip posted in the thread, which fixed WiFi, but broke 3G.
I reflashed to touchwiz at that point, as it was clear that CM7 was not going to work for me at its current stage.
Using touchwiz, I get 2 days of battery life.
I got around 28 hours with CM7.

And to think I wondered why there is so much drama in this developer community.

I have a problem logging into my goggle account. I had it set up fine when I came to cm7 (1122 build) from Acs Ics 4, as it prompted me after a clean install to login. I have since flashed the modified wifi 1122 build over the original 1122 and advance restored Data. I have now lost my goggle account login.
When I try to open the market it asks me if I want to login, yes or no. Whichever I select it takes me back to my homescreen.
So I go to settings, account & sync, add account: it only let's me create an exchange account (not sure if this is normal). I have entered my gmail account info, but it will not accept it and login. It asks for the domain and server... not sure if I can access my google account that way or not.
I don't really want to have to do a clean install every time a new build comes out and then reinstall all my apps. Doing an advanced restore to get data back in CWM is so much quicker and easier. Is there another option or remedy to this?
Any help is appreciated.

I bought the Nexus 7 LTE to take the place of my T-mobile hotspot. This update breaks the 2 reasons I use the hotspot for, wireless connectivity on the go when I need it for my laptop and native sms messaging. Both of these features are included in the service I pay T-mobile for on this account. Not only did Google disable these 2 features without notice in KitKat, but they don't acknowledge that they have or give a reason or resolution for the issue anywhere that I can find. I can't even find a way to contact Google directly to ask them a question about the issue with any guarantee that they will even read my questions, let alone answer them. Until this is resolved, I'm stuck on 4.3.1.

So you're saying that the 4.4/KRT16S update removed the option to tether with a T-Mobile SIM? Can anyone else confirm that? If that's true, that totally sucks. For people on AT&T, their tethering has been disabled from the start. I know for a fact that tethering still works with Verizon, though, even after the KitKat update. I'd love to know how carriers get their demands integrated into a carrier-free, SIM unlocked device like the Nexus 7, especially when no Nexus phone has ever disabled tethering. The Google Play Edition phones don't disable tethering either. This "selective disabling of tethering based on carrier" seems to be unique to tablets.
As for native SMS on a tablet, though, that's a feature very few people will miss because so few people would ever even think to do it in the first place. Tablets are designed by default to be data consumption devices, not giant phones. You probably won't find much sympathy on that one.
Sent from my Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition using Tapatalk

I'm tying to understand why it should be different on theN7 from the N5 running Kitkat. I use my N5 on T-Mobile and the tethering works fine. I can't say I love Hangouts as the native SMS client but it does work for sms/mms. It should work on the N7. Hopefully someone might chip in who uses t mobile with their N7. You might want a thread title that is clearer what your issues are. The current title is unclear.

I don't need anyone's sympathy. As a matter of fact, there is already someone who has claimed a fix for the SMS problem in the LTE android development forum for the Nexus 7 (2013). So obviously there is sympathy. Just because you don't use a feature, don't make the assumption that others don't use it and find it useful.

Mirrorlink vs MHL Appradio3

So I just bought the appradio3 for my car for use with my S4 and I'm wondering what is the best way to connect it. Ideally I would like full mirroring of my phone to the radio. I already ordered the android kit and the mirrorlink cable so I can chose how I want it set up later and return the other if I don't want it. I found the full screen mirror apk for drivelink already and have it installed currently. ARliberator currently does not support appradio 3.
The question I'm wondering is if drivelink will work with aosp roms as currently I'm using Task's aokp, or will I need to switch to a Samsung based rom, or google edition rom.

No one here has the radio or tried using mirrorlink on aosp?

I've been using Sony xav 601bt with mirror link. Using a modified app of mirror link that allows full mirroring. I have stock s4 on 4.3 with no issues. It can be a little laggy.
Btw I installed my friends app 3 and I absolutely hated it. Requires an additional kit and doesn't allow full mirroring. Also was disappointed in the deck it self just wasn't as great as I thought.
Good luck on your choice.

Screen Standby doesn't work with Android 4.3. It seems to be a bug in 4.3 and the developer hasn't found a workaround. Screen Standby works on Samsung 4.4 roms though.

That must be why it severely sucks atm with my 4.3 rom. Haven't found a 4.4 rom I like yet unfortunately, everyone is missing at least one thing I want.

I'm not sure if it's already resolved, but there's an app for that. It's called ARUnchanged. But you have to have root access in order for ARUnchanged to work.
