[Q] Suddenly Pornsites poping up (unwanted ;)) - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
Yesterday I browsed though the xda-dev-app and from time to time when i would klick on something my browser opens up and shows me a porn site. I couldn't recreate that behaviour in any other app. Also I couldn't find anything about a malware with that kind of behaviour so I'm a bit in the dark here.
Does anyone know what this is about ?
Is there any known malware that causes this ?
I uninstalled xda and haven't seen a single pornsite since.
I have avast running for 2 months now so there is a bit of protection in place. also I rarely install anything espacially nothing questionable.

Huh..!? Are u serious or just trolling..!?
You're the only one in thousands of users here who is facing such a problem.

[Q] GB Spacebar double tap shortcut not working

So, when I had Froyo, I could double tap to get a period (jokes aside). This is no longer working on GB. Is there any fix?

Your question was posted for less than two hours. Yes, other people seem to be having this issue. Check your Language & Keyboard settings for an option. If it's not there, you'll have to find another ROM to flash or download a different keyboard from the market. A search either in here or the general forum should show that there is a thread on this issue already posted with discussion of an alternate keyboard.

Maybe it's because the question has been asked at least two other times... it happens sometimes... this may come as a shock, but xda doesn't revolve around your questions especially when the answer could have been found by 1) search button, 2) scrolling down the topics page or 3) looking at the settings.

I'm not a dev either but think you might be able to unzip the APK on your computer, replace the icon.png, rezip. then replace apk to phone.

same problem since day 1. i don't know when the last update was but definitely not working for me. Search function is also non-existent.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Oh yea, the search is horrible. Doesn't even give you the option to search within the thread or for a thread in the section.
That's why there are double post. People search and can't find it, so they post it again and then we have members getting angry about not searching and double posting.
The search, searches the entire site. I don't have time to scroll through 100 threads to find the 1 for our phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah you should be able to search within a device's forum and also within a thread itself that way rom q&a's not stated in op's don't have to be reasked all the time.

Yeah, I have been wanting to ask a question about XDA's notifications, and search on the app was not helpful. I was concerned about making a new thread, then somebody getting down on me for making a duplicate thread.
I could already see the comments, "you should search before you post" "I will not help, because you are lazy" So it goes not getting the help, we request.
Not to mention names but it's the same few members who troll the forms and flame or report everything.
I honestly think that until the search engine for this app is fix that members who flaming for duplicate threads should be ban for a 12 hours. If you think about it, that flame is going to make the thread unless because it will just be a battle between the op and the flameer. Instead of helping out the op as a community or posting the link to the original thread.

some of us actually like using our xda app (search included). paid for it so most people expect it to work. personally, after realizing that the app's search is not working, i almost always try to log in and use xda and google search before asking here.
there is no need to be defensive or sarcastic here. if you feel the need to report then do as you wish but don't expect everyone to like what you are doing. some people are honestly just clueless regarding the search engine.

You're just a big child. You see a post you don't like and cry to your dad (insert name of favorite mod here) and get it shut down. Some new member started a thread and you reported AND flamed him/her. Instead of trying to be a tyrant you should be pointing new members in the right direction. And if someone's phone is not working, you should actually try to help before crying to the mods. You hold the exact same amount of power as any other member. Having more posts or thanks doesn't change the fact that nobody should have to take crap from someone on the same level as them.

And people come here for broken phone fixes because some members actually do help or point in the right direction. If someone's phone isn't working right for whatever reason, don't turn them away just because there's already some large thread on something remotely similar to their problem. Those types of threads don't get users as much help (especially if it's an urgent issue) as a single thread.
It's like if someone was lost on the way driving to Tampa and they asked you for help, and you told them they were noobs for not knowing every detail about the trip before they went on it. And you reported them to have their car towed because they didn't get help from a group talking about how to get to places that are kind of near Tampa.

XDA premium app...

I can't digest the fact that what im using is acc a "xda premium" app..
I mean the interface looks like the maker just made the app for the sake that it ought to be on the playstore..
This is the place with tons and tons of brilliant minds working to make the mobile more useful device and with enhanced features...
On the contrary the official app suks with just the minimal possible functionality...
