New xda app update

Just saw the update and did it to have XDA fc everytime I try to load it now. Any ideas on it?

Same thing here
HTC Aria
ROM: Liberated R012

Not problems here, really nice looking UI and I'm using HTC Evo

galaxy s (vibrant) getting the same force closes after update

I'm getting a force close and I have a Hero CDMA

Update fixed the force closes on open, but it still crashes... no more frequently than before the update however

After the second update of today with the SGS fix it works very well. Had no fc or other problem anymore.
Noticed now that it has ads now. Is this new? Or haven't i noticed it before? XD

No FC's here on my end.
Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700

Hate the ads tho.. and it seems to load slower when connecting to xda.. but the new look and small features are nice

Hi
I hate the ads too
In some apps they are ok but here they get in the way when scrolling and they cover up the navigation buttons.
Must admit i have really got used to using this app but now I think I might just use the browser instead

Browser Problems

About twice a day, when browsing with the default browser, it will lock up, give the one vibrate followed by two...stay locked up, do the vibration pattern again and then present a black screen. About two minutes later, it appears it rebooted but never showed the Samsung or AT&T logos...
Anyone else having this issue?

Has not happen to me.
It could have been the site you visited. Try Dolphin HD, much better than stock browser.

All of the Galaxy S phones experience this occasionally when viewing certain heavy websites like the pocketnow.com desktop site, especially if you get a few tabs going. Nice to see Samsung still hasn't fixed that. I suggest Opera Mobile.

I can vouch for the browser crapping out on any large website, this was one of reasons I switched from the captivate to the inspire. Used an infuse today and noticed the browser froze right away on anything with flash content.

I like the stock browser but I will try Opera Mobile for a while to see if it helps...it was my browser of choice on WM 6.5

If I remember correctly on my captivate there were a few development who had tweaked the browser.apk to fix rendering issues and freezing. Will have to go back and read changelogs on some of the custom roms

Yes...please let me know what you find out...this has been the only real complaint I have with this great phone...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

This happened again today...on both of our phones...anyone else encounter this lately? It is starting to become a show stopper for us on this otherwise awesome phone!

I had the same problem. The stock browser is a RAM hog. Use opera mobile, much much better and faster!

Just use Dolphin browser, when out of ram it will not load new tab on the background unless you open the background tab,
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Well here's my quandry... I like the stock browser and I didn't have this problem with my Captivate... I am just really hoping that we can find a solution for this. I did reset the browser back to default settings and so far in the past couple days this is not happened... I'm not saying it fixed it but I will monitor it for a few days.
Side note however..
How can I make one of the other browsers the default browser and also where do I go to reset that back to the stock browser?
Thanks...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

If you're having problems with the stock browser just switch to an alternative like dolphin or firefox etc. Many improvements over the simple UI and limited functionality of the stock browser anyway.

I'm trying something different now... I think I was on wi-fi each and every time that the browser locked up the phone and rebooted... I am going to try to keep it off of wifi for a few days and do regular browsing see what happens

I can't check this right now, since at work I get no data anyway, but I already installed Fast for FB as an alternate, and ready to test this out. If it works that would be great, the data dropping in killing me.

I did the same thing. I noticed my data crashed repeatedly while in the Facebook app. Uninstalled, created a homescreen shortcut to the website. Works beautifully.

Just did it, and it seems to be much better, thanks. Installed Fast for FB as my FB app.

I don't even have FB installed and had data drops.

I have been having issues w/ google data staying connected, I think its the ROM, but I can't find out, cause I need 10 posts, each one has to be 5 minutes aparts. Is this site built by nuclear engineers? Are we solving the worlds problems here, or just android development? Can't tell the difference...

Does anyone get that prob when Facebook is just a plain white page ?

The Facebook App, or the Facebook website through the browser? In my case, I've had an issue with both. I have since given up on the Facebook app all together and just use a bookmark to the Facebook page. Anytime I would get the browser blank-white page, I would force-close the browser app and log back in. Typically would do the trick.

I flashed the new ICS radio and I don't seem to be getting data drops anymore

OK Google not launching Google now

Anyone else having a problem getting OK Google to launch gone now? It worked fine when I first bought the phone then stopped after a couple days. Then I rooted the phone and it started working again but then stopped after a couple days. I'm running stock rooted. I even cleared the data on the search app and it still didn't work.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

It only works on US English but as the OP said, it did work before and he hasn't changed language so we can assume he is using US English.
It's an issue that I've seen crop up around XDA and Reddit and one I've had myself, so don't worry too much because I assume it'll be fixed in later builds. All that works for me is a reboot, then Google Now will detect 'OK Google' again. Try that.

"Ok Google" may disappear but feature is working
that's what is happening with me. I wiped the Launcher data twice to get back the "Ok Google" on the search bar
but it disappeared again and When I say okay google it works

A reboot definitely doesn't help. The only other time it came back was when I unlocked the bootloader and it wiped the device.

If the microphone on the "Google" search bar of the home screen is filled in, it is listening. If it is hollow (an outline of a microphone) then it's not listening.
Reasons it may not be listening:
A. An app has requested audio access (games, music, videos, camera, even if they're in the background). This is especially common with games that insist on running even when no longer visible. Swipe away the app(s) and the microphone will activate itself again.
B. Not set to US English.
C. Google Now isn't configured.
D. Hotword in Google Search settings is turned off.
Any of those reasons are common and considered normal functionality. If you can eliminate all of them then you're looking at something more in depth like ROM issues, broken hardware, etc.

The microphone is hollow.
A. It isn't a game or app because it doesn't fix with a reboot.
B it is set to us English
C gone now is configured
D hotword is turned on
I haven't changed any of the settings but I have double checked that the settings are correct. I read on Android police that other people are having problems with now but none of the problems are the same as mine.

Not sure if it'll work for you, but changing the language, back to home press the microphone and then changing it back to US seems to work for me.

What do you mean you can't activate it?
Go to settings > accounts > google > search > and what do you see?

Have you tried turning Google Now off and then back on?
So opt-out and then back in?

Can't open any links from the Facebook app

Hi, the problem I'm facing is that I can't open certain links that are on the Facebook app. I didn't used to have this problem, and it's only started a week or 2 back.
I have changed my browser and cleared all data on the fb app. But this hasnt fixed the problem.
- also the links work fine on my laptop
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this problem as it becoming a bit of a pain
Thanks in advance, Mo

Try clearing the defaults in Facebook and the browser?

Did the facebook app update a week or two back? Might want to make the developer aware of this.
