[Q] XDA mobile/desktop suscribed topics/shortcuts - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Isn't there a way to suscribe to a thread by a single click button? I mean, when you clic on suscribe, you're tranfered to a new page asking if you want mail notifications. NO I NEVER WANT. I want to be suscribed directly. Also, like on the mobile app, where's the section to see all thread you participated?
Thanks.

On the mobile app, select 'favorites' at the top, and then 'topics' underneath to see a collective list of all your subbed threads.
You can subscribe to threads in the mobile app with a single click, but not on the desktop version. This is a blessing, as personally I get e-mail notifications on threads in the Q&A section, but not anywhere else.
It's far better to have the choice, than be able to do it in a single click
Cheers!

What i think is there should be more button, one for suscribe without mail or else, one with mail, etc... By the way, in mobile app, in "participated topic" all are there but not this one. This section isn't in the mobile app?

Request: Browser Widget

Is it possible to create a widget which displays a web page? Even if it was just view-only?
We use Gmail/GApps for work, and I have a Blackberry that gets email pushed to it from the server. I'd like to ditch the Blackberry and only carry my Shift, but then the only way to know if I have new email on my work account is to open the browser and refresh the page. I can't just add it as another google account, because it requires special authentication through a corporate page, but once I authenticate in the browser, I'm all good. It would be great if I could just have a widget that would show that web page and refresh periodically, maybe even have a refresh button on it. And maybe clicking on it would just open the browser to that page.
I thought that the Sense bookmarks widget might provide this, but it doesn't really seem to update.
I don't know but this certainly is the wrong section for this. This belongs in QnA. General rule of thumb: unless it's some hack/mod/ROM that you've created and maintain then it don't belong in Development. An idea for a mod/hack/ROM doesn't count. I wouldn't worry about creating a new thread though as a Mod will probably move it for you soon
ALL HAIL OTAKING71, THE RAPER OF HBOOT!!!
EDIT: Now that I think about it, doesn't the Sense widget refresh the thumbnail image whenever you go to that site? If so couldn't you use something like Tasker to periodically open that page so that the widget thumbnail refreshes?

*sigh* Sorry. I even read the sticky at the top of this forum, but I hadn't really seen any other requests like this, and I figured since it was a request for development that maybe development was where it went. My bad.

I do believe that opening the page might cause a refresh, but I'm not certain that's 100% reliable. I think I played around with that idea some and didn't always get a refresh. If it does, that's a decent workaround. A self-updating widget, however, would be awesome.
Yes this definately the wrong section for this question. But thst being said, why don't you just add your work Gmail account to your Shift? Don't know what Rom your using. But I do know that on MikShifted G and Supreme Sence, you can have more than one Google account. If I'm understanding right, that would solve your issue. You would then just treat it like any other Email account. Set the update interval lower.

Because with the corporate authentication required, the normal Gmail mechanisms don't work. I have to go to a special single sign-on page, then get a certificate, then to the Gmail page. Once the browser has the cert in memory, though, it can reload the page all it likes.

Yeah, I've seen that one. That's just a widget that will, "Start а Browser, Compass, Google Maps,Market with one click." I don't know why someone created that and felt it was better than a shortcut, but that's effectively all it is.

Best answer I could find, and it makes sense:
This isn't possible from an OS level. That share menu is populated by Android based on what apps you've installed declare they can open. You can look at the technical details here, but the end result is that without extra coding from each individual app to filter the results, you are always going to get the full list in whatever order Android returns them in.

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/is-there-a-way-to-edit-the-share-menu
Basically in the apps code somewhere it states that it has the ability to use the Share function, so it's automatically added. Without removing the code or removing the app altogether, Android sees the app and adds it. Might be something someone a lot smarter than myself would be able to write an app that manipulates this somehow. But from what I'm seeing it hasn't been done.
thanks man, its ok if just cant be done, everything has limitations...
Would it be possible to have a separate share app that lets you add options (like "SMS to Bob") as well as hide some of the defaults? That app itself could be registered as a "sharing" app (maybe sorting to the top of the list?) or could be launched individually. So a process flow could be to launch this share app, load up the gallery, choose the photo, choose the destination. And that process would be just as convenient as launching the gallery, choosing the photo, selecting to share, and selecting the destination. Same number of steps.

how come I can't post on some forums?

how come on my phone I can't post on some forums like XDA and others? I have javascript enabled. The pages look normal, but there are no new thread buttons.

That was like the Evo while back. Try checkin the main menu or the settings for the browser.. They always have a option for it..
I tried this and set it to desktop
Type about:debug in the browser url box
go to 'Settings'
go to 'Debug'
Select UAString, and then check the 'Desktop' option
---
but I still can't post on forums I went to XDA site and signed in. I clicked general discussion and now I can't even click anything. Can't click general, questions and answers, etc. I refresh page 3 times, can't click any of them.
I tried my other site and I am logged in on that site, but I can't log out. I can't make new threads.

Umm.. can you post or create a thread on your PC? And did you tried using some other browser then your Default one?
And try resetting your browser to Default and Clear History, Cache, Cookies, and just give it a try.
If doesn't help, post back!

lol all my other posts are from PC.
I reset cache, cookies, and history on my phone's stock browser.
I was able to log onto XDA and sign and get to this section. There was a button for forum tools and in there was post new thread.
The other forum I am trying to post on does not have a forum tools button. I can login, but can't log out. I cannot reply and cannot post.
is it to do with my browser? I think other android users can do it.
do I need a special app for all forums to work properly?
What exactly is the xda app?
Ok, first off within your phones browser hit your menu button, find settings, and search through them with a fine tooth comb looking for anything that says mobile browsing with a check box or similar setting which would allow you to change between standard and mobile.
You can search the market for "xda" and either install the premium app for 1.49 and support our site, or use the free app. Then once installed just login and youre all set to browse and post via the app.

How to mark a forum as a favorite in the XDA Android app?

I just started using the XDA Android app, and I feel like a moron but I can't figure out how to add a forum to my "Favorites" list. I've tried long-pressing, looked in the menus, etc. But I can't figure it out. Is this some kind of test?

i have the same question
When in the forum you want as favourite, just press options and choose 'Subscribe', you'll get a notification saying the forum has been added to favourites.

But doesn't subscribing mean I'll get email notifications about every post? I do not want that.

You can change your subscription settings, you can also press and hold on a thread or parent thread to subscribe.

Oh, you're talking about subscribing to a thread. I was asking about subscribing to an entire forum. I do have some individual threads in my topic favorites, but I don't see how to get a forum in the forum favorites.

Works the same way, you can also subscribe to the forum from the website and it will show up under your favorites.

Yes, after you press subscribe there's a new prompt that asks about notifications...

[Completed] Account activity?

Is there a way to see all of the forum posts I've written? I know where all my subscribed threads are, and perhaps my mobile browser is just making this hard for me, but I cant seem to find a place where all my posts are.

Click on your name in the top bar on your browser.
This will take you to your account profile , where there is a "Statistics" tab.
This will show all your posts/threads/thanks
Is there a way to do that on the mobile version?
