Has anyone figured out how to stop the xda app from force closing whenever you try to open a thread? It only happens on my gtab, so I use the web browser version to post. Like I am now
most have given up on it and use the Tapatalk app instead, haven't heard of a fix for it.

+1 on that. I posted the same question about a month ago not even knowing tapatalk existed. Good way to go
What is tapatalk? Is it an android market app?
The problem is landscape mode!!!!
I was having the FCs and then had a thought: what if I run the app in portrait mode. I tried and it seems to work without FCs. Added multiple favorites, read forums and articles.
EDIT: OK, opening articles is now giving FCs. Sigh....

Yes. The xda app is a subset of Tapatalk, which can be used for xda and other discussion boards as well.
MOtly works in portrait
After more use I am finding that portrait mode seems to work for reading. Just read about 20 articles from 3 gtablet forums without an FC. Before I had FCs all the time. Just leave the app in portrait. I was also NOT logged in. WIll try logged in and see if there is a difference.

I noticed the fc only happen when I was logged in, but that's still crappy o I switched as you can see.

Gonna Try it now, lol. I never thought about portrait mode.
**Didnt work, still getting the F C
Great for reading. Pretty much crashes as soon as I sign in though.
It seems to be signing in
OK, if I don't signin I can run the app and browser threads and the like. When I signin I get FCs pretty quickly. Can others try to use without signing in and see what behavior you get.

If I am logged into the app, I can view forums and threads, but when I try to open a thread I get a force close. If I am not logged I have no problems.
Is this a known issue for the G Tab?
Maybe someone will chime in with a fix or solution but I too was having issues of FC's. I have since just used the browser. I did download the XDA app from the market place.
Yup, same here, FC's all the time.
same here.

I am having the same issues as well, hopefully someone will fix this app <please> because the favorites tab is soooo convenient.
Any idea whats going on with the XDA app and the Force Close on the G Tab? I am running TnTLite 4.2.1 ..
Thanks
The XDA app hasen't worked since day one! The best ways see XDA are the browser ( recomend Dolphin HD; you can open links in new tabs and also create bookmarks in an XDA folder ) or TapATalk app.

Same issue running TnT Lite 4.2.2
Same issue here, doesn't matter which ROM as I've tried it on both TnT Lite and Vegan.
I've tried everything in the sense of clearing user data, cache, wiping everything known to man.
It seems to be a TapaTalk program issue as I tried the androidtablets.net app and it would constantly FC as well.
the xda app force closes and lags like crazy using dolphin HD. what do you guys use to browse xda on the transformer?
Try changing the Xda style in your browser to xda classic. You can find it at the bottom of the page.

I actually bought the donation xda app because of this issue. Works flawless and besides I wouldn't have this tablet if it wasn't for xda.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but anyone else having this problem? I can get the app to open, see the list of threads and view them if I am NOT logged in, but if I log in, the app closes as soon as I try to view a thread. IS this just a known issue and I am not aware of it because I am new to the TF?
FYI, I am running the latest version of Revolver by gnufabio

Same issue and i'm running KRAKD, using browser instead of app and works fine.
Rather like using app though but oh well, maybe a fix will come out if enough ppl asking for it.
I use Tapatalk HD on my TF101. The app runs like a dream.

Has anyone else noticed how xtremely slow this forum is on the transformer? Navigating the pages and even typing this out is very frustrating. I thought it was flash but I uninstalled it and it is still very bad. Any help or info is appreciated. The default keyboard helps a little bit, but typing is very laggy as well.

So far this website really seems to be the only one I have problems with using the stock browser, or even some of the other browsers.
I did find that Opera Mobile seems to work very well with XDA though.

I'm having the EXACT same problem and only with XDA Dev's site. I got so frustrated that I wiped my Transformer thinking it might have been an issue with the ROM. Still same issue. Really don't want to use Tapatalk on a damn tablet but what can I do... At least I know I'm not alone.
Also, I did update Flas to 10.2 not sure it is related.
Yeah the app is so slow. I think its the app tho, whats tapatalk

It IS really rotten using the default browser. Firefox is a bit better. The worst part is getting that ">" new postings link large enough to click on it. In Firefox, there is an additional new postings link that is still hard to click but larger. Hopefully as tablets become more common, sites will make some accommodation.

This forum always gives people issues..
But it has a relatively easy fix.
Scroll all the way to the bottom right and then change XDA 2010 to XDA classic. All your problems should vanish!
I'm having the same issue on my Acer a500. I was getting ready to return it and wait for a transformer. I guess its just xda developers site. Thanks.

It appears to be the Flash ads that are driving it crazy, so no problem with those on the iPad heh. The TF tries to render all of them, and although they do work they are very slow.
You would think that without flash installed, it wouldn't try to render them, but it appears to get stuck on them for some reason. It doesn't make a difference with or without flash, still unbearably slow. Can we pay $5 a month to get the flash ads turned off? LOL...

I love this site & I would pay to get rid of all ads to make my browsing faster on my TF101. I'll have to try the classic mode which was mentioned in a few post earlier when I get home from work.
The xoom had the same issue and switching to classic worked for a while until they updated the xda premium app. Not sure if the xda premium app will work for the tf but I would try that.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Not sure it's the Flash ads. I have the browser set to only load Flash on demand, so the Flash ads are not shown. And it it's still extremely laggy.
I just tried switching to "XDA Classic", that fixed it. Ugly as hell, but it works now.
Hey, guys. I've noticed other phones having this problem, and it looks like the Xperia Play on Verizon is affected, too. When I go to Menu/Settings/Account & sync and try to add a Facebook account, it goes right back to the Account & sync page without adding Facebook. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no success. Is there some sort of workaround?
Thanks
looks to be a issue w/ our phone.. I posted the same thing in general.
I added my fb account without any problems..

Yeah, I suppose I should have posted what I'm running. Currently I'm running Android version 2.3.2, Build number 3.0.E.2.89
All stock. (On a side note, this is also preventing me from rooting at the moment.)

This is a remnant from the other builds I think. On other stock android devices, Facebook can still be a contact provider. Something is blocking it in the OS level from some tweak by SonyEricsson.
HOWEVER! You can get around it by using SonyEricsson's Life.Contacts as a synch partner to synch up FB contacts.

Hmm... I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, this is an issue, I think, that has to do with Sony stripping the Xperia facebook-in-android experience parts out of the phone, but forgetting to re-enable the FB built-in synch that it was blocking.
So for right now, you have to use the Life.Contacts app to be able to synch FB. The problem with it though, is that the config is only available through Life.Contacts' widget. So it makes it a bit of a pain. It also only works with one account type at a time. So you can't use Life.Contacts to synch FB, Twitter, and other social networks at the same time to my knowledge.
Ok so... How do you actually get this to work? I downloaded and installed life.contacts and linked to my facebook, but my contact still don't show their pictures and info. Did I do something wrong?
as you know fb is no longer on the market, i thought i would put a working apk for yall to enjoy. be sure to add thanks!

Thanks for this OP. I was disappointed that I couldn't get fb to work anymore without using the browser.
I installed it without uninstalling my existing fb app first and it didn't work. It FC every time I opened it.
After uninstalling and reinstalling again, it now works like a charm.

Does anyone know if this means it will add sync for facebook contacts? Kinda missing that on my TF.
EDIT: Welp, I might as well should of just installed it to answer my own question. I did. It synced my contacts. Now I can post pictures to facebook.
This definitely is better for chat than the browser but I don't think it will notify correctly?
Anyway, thanks for posting the APK!
Me too. If I click Friends its going to FC. anyone else having the same issue?
