Xda premium update. Thoughts

What's your thoughts on this new update. It's having a hard time loading my subscribe forums.

It's been working petty smooth for me. The update did say to clear your app data before updating. That might help.
And the ui is different, but it does look and feel more modern and it feels more smooth.

The new XDA app seems to use the same UI as Tapatalk 4. It's about time they got rid of that awful Gingerbread-inspired UI that the app used for faaaaaaar too long.

Even the free version of the XDA App upgraded the UI??

Does anyone else's app crash when they try and open the app through the notification bar?

You guys do know that the the xda app has always been the tapatalk app but just limited to one forum, right?
And @Joe0113, I called it over in the s3 forums you had asked something related and I said that as soon as the Tapatalk 4 app is worked out, the xda app would probably get updated since it's the exact same app

I would say that it's limited to one site rather than one forum, but yes, I'm aware
EDIT: the new version doesn't seem to play nicely with HTML. Bummer.

No, I would say it's limited to one forum site actually
And what do you mean doesn't play nice with html? As in links don't go to the app? I think that was stripped away because not even the old xda had that when Tapatalk 2 did

I see that you were able to underline a word in your post, whereas it wouldn't let me italicize a word in my previous post. Now it seems to be working. Weird.

Well I only use XDA on Tapatalk (don't really know of any other forum except Android Central, but I just use them for their main page to get news)... anyone actually like the XDA app over Tapatalk lol?

Well, since they're basically the same app, and you only use XDA on Tapatalk, why would you prefer Tapatalk over XDA? I actually prefer the new XDA app since I only use XDA and I wasnt able to find a 'thanks' option in Tapatalk. Otherwise they're functionally identical.

I just thought of Tapatalk as the Mercedes Benz of forum browsers lol.

I had some problems too with loading the subscribed forums after I updated. I just uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and all is good again. I tried both the tapatalk and this xda app, and honestly I love the xda app way better. IMHO. The investment in the xda pro app is deffinetly worth it.

UK Three 4G - available now?

As the title suggests, has anyone on Three got 4G yet? It says it's activated now, however I'm on the latest Bobcatrom with network selection automatically selecting LTE (autoconnect), I'm still on H?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app

They have only activated for so many people at the moment, I'm not sure how you check though mate
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

Ah ok, many thanks for the reply (and I've just realised I posted this completely in the wrong place, my bad, mod please do move accordingly!). I've restarted my phone, since coming back to London from up north and yeah it's still not activated. May give a all over next few days if still not switched...

I heard they have started the rollout in London for selected customers (around 1000) for now with more customers expected to be given access in January.
When asked their tweeter account replied saying all test users have already been picked but to look out for further updates from them. Bit dissapointing if you ask me.

That's really helpful to know where I stand, but I couldn't agree more, a dam shame they couldn't roll out full availability in one go.

To be fair, I'm still doing alright with the speeds I've got right now and so I am really curious to see what 4G so bring!

I think if you are in London with good strength. .. You should easily hit 50mb download and near 20mb upload

That sucks. They had a blog post that said "We'll be rolling out 4G for ALL our customers in 3 cities in December" which they've now pulled.
****s

Got mine now! Best speed so far is 3.6mb a second, not too bad! Anyone else got theirs yet?

is that on 4g? I thought a lot of people were getting a hell of a lot more than that on the 3g.... Some were saying around 30mb. That's very disappointing if that's the 4g speed mate

ART

Please can someone explain to me what ART actually is, all I know is that it's only in beta stage, and it's Google that will release it,I have rooted lots of phones over the last 4 years, and have been out of the loop for a while.
Many thanks in advance.

Note 3 flash not working

I went through the forums looking for a solution and couldn't find one.. My flash basically doesn't work for camera or just as a light. I restart my phone then it will work for a bit. Then it stops working until I restart. Any fix for this?

I heard you need to get a warranty exchange done to fix it.i have the same problem but haven't exchanged it yet
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app

I've heard people doing that and obviously problem solved. But there must be some fix. No way that many phones have this problem and its just based on luck of getting one with or without the problem....

Yeah I hear you but I put the same question out a long time ago and got pretty much no responses like you are getting. I don't think it's that wide spread of a problem. Seems like we are the minority group.

I'm glad you like it, there are a few quirks with using a s-cover but it's pretty decent. Enjoy.

Well thanks for making it. I am glad I grabbed it up while it was there. This is the best ROM I have used on an Android phone.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

Rick, thanks for making this ROM, I really enjoy it and since I don't use an S-cover I have almost no issues with it. I did have to restart my phone today when the auto brightness wasn't working, but I like to restart once a day regardless and it had been a few days since my last one.
Thanks again for your work and I can understand and appreciate the time it would take to maintain a ROM.

Yea it's my daily rom thanks for sharing your rom with the community
