[Q] xda app

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.

What he said. Tapatalk doesnt have the FC issues that XDAs own app has.

Nook app update

Now supports tablets and magazines which look great on the tf.

My eBook app of choice, glad they made it tablet-friendly

Hm, maybe it's time to keep my NC @ home...

Unless they enable the "Read-to-me" feature on the Nook app the NC will be unbeatable! Gonna install the Nook app now; after switching from the XOOM I completely forgot about that one!

Starting yesterday, my Nook app seems to repeatedly reset to page when I'm reading anything (magazine, eBook, etc). It will go blank, and then about a second or two later, the screen returns with the menu overlay. Happens about once a minute, makes it really hard to read. Odd that it just started happening.
I'm going to downgrade and root this week anyway so I can do a factory reset for 3.1, but I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this in case that doesn't fix things.

Xoom tremendous keyboard lag

Keyboard lag in forums/message boards when using all browsers, does anyone have a fix for it?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

Switch to XDA classic. Scroll to the bottom and switch. That'll fix the XDA lag.

keyboard lag
Thanks for the quick reply. The problem with the lag in the keyboard is on all sites with message boards or forums...I.e. yahoo, YouTube, etc... I have no lag when doing emails or typing in notepad. I have tried half a dozen keyboards, but the problem persists.
I called Motorola, but they were more interested in telling me they have no fix because no one has complained about that before, and I could just return it.

It's a known issue. Did you try another browser?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Are you running Honeycomb 3.2? Keyboard lag is almost non existent for me on 3.2

My Xoom is out of commission and bricked. I'm trying to get it working.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yes I have used several different browsers, but I get the same results.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk

The keyboard lag still exists in 3.2. It's pretty ridiculous that there isn't a fix yet.
On a side note:
Another thing that is annoying the hell out of me is when I pop up my keyboard and start typing it opens a random program.

How did you brick it. o-o

I hated that keyboard lag!! The only fix I ever found was to download thumb keyboard on the android market for honeycomb. This fixed the keyboard lag all across the board for me. I am on 3.1 on a 3G Xoom Stock. Too bad I had to pay to get a fix and if there is a fix without this keyboard then please post!

Ditto, I've used several browsers, always get lag, I love when it finally starts typing, but the first few letters are now just gone. Or when it finally starts showing characters, and the browser does a force close.

Browsers keep crashing.

Hi all,
I hope you're all doing well. I can use some help if anyone is willing to lend a hand. Just recently my phone has started to act up but I only have proof of one of the issues. So I can open any browser but it'll just crash shortly after opening a page. It happens on any browser stock or (dolphin, boat, naked) I only have logcats of boat and stock though.
To the best of my knowledge the only thing I had done was update boat like 2 updates ago. I've done nothing else besides that and my ui change, but I have no other apps spontaneously crashing. Hell even other apps with built-in browsers work no problem.
I've attached two logcats of first starting the app to where it crashes and a screenshot of my rom and ui settings. If there is more information needed let me know.
Thank you in advance.

Do you get the same thing with Chrome? Also try turning off JavaScript, or force desktop mode, or incognito mode. All of those have been suggested as a workaround in the nexus 7 forums.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Hi rpr69,
So Chrome doesn't crash. That's pretty sweet but yet I find Chrome to be a lot slower than stock or anything else... Might have to hit up the 7 forums to see if there is something that I might have missed.
Just wondering though would you know if Flash might be a common element in these crashes?
~PsyCl0ne
EDIT: Actually quite bizarre my browsers aren't crashing anymore... No phone reboot or anything.

the exact same thing was happening to me. I hardly even open the browser and the one time I tried, it crashed almost immediately like 10 times in a row!
I'm on CM10 nightlies. I will have to update to 1204 tonight and test again. I'm blaming CM10 for now.... :crying:

Swift key flow beta

Anyone using this yet? Pretty smooth so far..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Seems ok in my limited testing. I always found the prediction engine in SwiftKey to work the best, having swipe just makes it better. I was going to try the tablet version on my Nexus 7 but I guess the download site is swamped as it couldn't connect. Most likely because guys like you are posting it all over XDA...

been using it all morning so far so good

Odd... In some cases it won't let me swipe.. Like the main search on the xda app for example..

it working alright I just don't like how it stops the swipe affect on certain apps but pretty decent
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

My first install was awful, it installed, but the prediction boxes on top weren't working. I uninstalled it and reinstalled and it's been working fine ever since.
Although, I think it predicts words better if you actually type the words. You can't select the word you wanted to type if it guesses the wrong word

I don't like the fact that if it got the wrong word when you swipe, you have to backspace over all of the letters. I think the stock 4.2 keyboard will delete the whole word if you backspace once. It might be an option though, I haven't looked that closely yet. Other than that, no real issues. Haven't decided if I'm going to stick with it or not, even though I bought it.

U just have to hold down the back button to delete the whole word, or back up one space in order to get more suggestions..

I've only used Swype as far as having something to compare it to...and it seems faster to me. I also like the prediction better than swype.
I don't type often(I mostly swipe), but when I have used it for typing it seems pretty fast....a little lag now and then.. I also do NOT miss the glitches in Swype, such as not spacing automatically in the browser and other apps...this has been good for that.
Keep in mind it's a beta, and as fast as the previous version is, I'm sure this can only get better...they've already got a great start..

So its been a week. Flow works pretty smooth for me but I did notice that the prediction needs a little work. But all in all I see a solid keyboard app worth using.

Has anyone else experienced the inability to search from within a website using flow? For example, using Chrome or Google search if I navigate to xda, rotten tomatoes, imdb or android central(those are the sites that I've tested on) I can't search from within that specific site. After I switched back to SwiftKey 3 I was able to search successfully. I haven't checked the forums over at SwiftKey yet so that will be my next step. Thanks

Google Reader sharing to Facebook doesn't allow the use of flow swiping. Hope they fix that as I'm sure there are other instances it won't work.

Neither worked for me. Flow really seemed to be really eating my battery so I un installed it for now and am sticking with SwiftKey 3.
