XDA Android App - Problems / Bugs / Feature Requests etc.

NOOK!E · Feb 25, 2015

@Darth, @ΠΣΘ, and @NotATreoFan,

I have done it - I signed into the XDA App!

After thinking for a few days, I remembered that you can use character references (a.k.a the &#number; notation) to type any Unicode character in existence into most app text boxes. Using my theory, I typed the text [see attached .txt] into the username box of the XDA App, typed in my password, and viola - I was signed in.

So, for example, if ΠΣΘ needed to sign into the XDA App and he couldn't type or paste his username, he could just type [see attached .txt] and he'd be good to go.

What do you guys think of that?

I think you have too much time on your hands.

But this is good for the future.

The whole process of getting the character reference codes, typing them into the XDA App, creating the .txt and making the post above literally took ten minutes.

The issue with the news area having incorrect pictures/titles have been fixed. Thanks to the Tapatalk team for debugging this issue and pushing out a fix.

How can I only get a list of subscribed topics in XDA Mobile application?

I participated in many threads don't want to get updated version of all on my list.

Not sure if that option exist easily without going to my profile etc.
Please reply with Quote.

You are automatically subscribed when you post in a thread. That's just how it works, on the website and mobile apps. You would need to un-subscribe to the thread to have it not show up in your subscribed list anymore.

You can do this from the apps or a browser. In the apps, just long press the thread from your subscription list, and choose un-subscribe. ?

Hi there thank you for your reply.
But participated and subscribed have a difference, I want to only see subscribed topics and not all participated.
Hope I am able to make you understand?

Example : many threads in off topic forums where I replied but did not subscribed too.

Yes they are different. Participated section will show every thread you've ever posted in. There is nothing you can do about that, on mobile or browsers.

The subscribed section you can control, by subscribing to threads, or just posting in that thread and it will auto subscribe. And you can un-subscribe to threads you don't want to follow anymore.

There's 2 separate sections for each in the apps. The subscribed section you can control... By un-subscribing to anything you want to leave the list.

I'm sorry, but other than that... Perhaps I'm not understanding?

Can we hide the thanks given in a topic on Mobile app. As it takes lot of resources {or remove linked url from profiled} or hide the same behind a spoiler?

Some threads take lot of time to load.

I used to use the Participated tab for the "low-interest" stuff, but since the last time this conversation came up I used the participated tab less by subscribing to those threads, with lesser-tended-to stuff placed into it's own folder.

Ideally I want them all (subscribed threads) to show on my subscribed tab(s), but not receive push notifications for them all (as my phone has been too busy with active threads I only glance at and I've since resorted to turning off notifications altogether).

My suggestion is this: is there a way to exclude a folder (or allow/block certain folders) of subscribed threads from push notifications via the XDA app? Such a feature would allow me to stop using Participated altogether.

Thank you.

Unread + All + Participated as required
But give this another add on = Subscribed threads or Interesting threads or xyz. And I only want to list same everytime I login to application. I participate in 10000s of threads I don't care about. But subscribed topics is very Is very important for me when I browse XDA.
Just a step to better app.
If still confused let me know.
Above poster explained well.

Not a current feature as you know, but this thread is read by Admin, so it's noted.

Not sure if such a thing will happen, but nothing wrong with ideas/suggestions.

I believe you are referring to DevDB threads. Those features don't integrate with the apps. The apps are just for mobile convenience and don't have all the features/options of pc browsers on the full Web page.

And not all Development threads are DevDB threads either. It's up to the rom poster how they setup their threads. We can't do anything about that. It's their choice.

Hope that all makes sense.

Nice app but sometimes favorites and participated topic list cannot be loaded.

bdithug · Apr 11, 2015

Every time I load the XDA app (both free and or premium) I get the error message "failed to connect to forum, contact administrator" or something to that effect. Why is that? And why does this exist on a premium paid app?
