I had the same problem too.
Anyone knows how to fix it?

Maybe your network connection become unstable?

I have this problem when my Internet connection is being overtaxed - too slow so it times out trying to load the whole page. I it can also be do to browser plug-ins blocking elements (as per another thread).

well, I use mozilla and this happens not just with xda but others too
I recommend just refreshing the page 2-3 times. You can delete browser cache (not history) and cookies.
Hope this helps

Looks to me like the sites CSS file isnt being downloaded, so yes its likely down to a over stretched or slow internet connection.
Normally refreshing a couple of times should fix it

Tried many times to refresh but still no avail. Can't even find the fix on the internet.

In the Quick Style Chooser (at the bottom of every page), you can change "-- XDA 2013 Beta" to something else.

It may help to search online about why your browser is functioning slowly. Also try reinstalling your browser. It may work. Have you tried deleting browser cache and cookies? Try searching how to delete them, do it and see if it works as I think that should solve your problem.
Remember a search engine is your friend. You can solve anything through it.

I have this problem only in XDA forum.,and my internet connection is fine.
I also try to reload the page and clean cache many times,but still can't fix it.
I use the internet with my mobile,and it's woke! but when i change back to the cable net and the problem back , too.
Finally as post-mortem says just use the Quick Style Chooser , and the normal page is back.

Where can i find that?

at the bottom of every page. You can also change the style of xda website in your control panel -> edit options(on the left hand side) and forum skin(located at the bottom of the page)
cheers

[Q] keyboard drop down while writing

Hello,
I have a strange problem.
when I use the keyboard (I tried the latest version of "Go Keyboard" and "SwiftKey X") to write a message or enter to a website the keyboard dropdown and I need to click on the text box to reopen the keyboard.
It is really annoying... I tried to look for a solution in the internet but I couldnt find anything.
thank!
This has happened to me on several occasions as well...it always went away on its own, though, so I have no idea what caused it.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
happens every time i open the browser, very annoying. its like i try to type in the text box and all of a sudden it disappears and tries to auto guess what i was typing. thought it was my phone, turned out to be dolphin browser in my case. using stock browser again and is fine. however, my data connection sucks and even on wifi in my house 15 feed from the router it loses signal.
Odd, I had the problem with my stock browser mostly, now that you mention it...and I haven't had the problem at all with Dolphin, that I remember.
It's really annoying!
Changing rom can fix that out?

It may (MAY) be an issue with the process itself: android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If you could find a way to just restart that process I think you can at least mitigate the problem. Have you tried a factory reset?
I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system-based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and flashing an fxz to stock 2.3.6 may help.
Also, are you using a sdcard, and if so what size/class? You could try removing the sdcard and see if the problem persists...

Also another one..
When lets say i open browser and type something in the address window like "xda atrix" and hit enter,it of course pulls up google with that search which is fine. But...if i try and click on the input box on the actuall google site ,and i start typing ..the browser will automatically scroll to the bottom of the page while im typing and continue to type in another box. And if u try and scroll back to the top,it wont let u. It will scroll right back down to the bottom so your forced to again use the actuall browser input box for another google search.
Annoying ...

Well, nonetheless, you have to wipe data/factory reset in CWM in order to install many of the custom roms out there... just sayin'!
Use the stock browser instead of dolphin or go or whatever. It will do it less. Even a custom rom will do the same thing. My favorite is trying to type something and then it tries to auto fill which means the keyboard pops outta sight and you accidently hot resturants which pops up another screen and the, you have to go back and retype what you were looking for! Very frustrating! Anybody know if this problem is on other phones? Like the samsung s3? I'm even using a different keyboard (A.I. keyboard which is great so far) and the same browser broblem exists. Texting is fine...

[Solution/Solved] i9003 ICS Web Page Visualization Error

Hi guys, I have a problem. I installed the CM9 Rom the REMICS Rom, in my i9003 device, either way installing any ICS Rom I get the same problem over and over again and I dont know if it is an error of my device or happens to everyone. Either way would any one help me please?
The problem is that when I open a web page, no matter which browser I use, opening it with a google search from the widget or directly typing a web page, the page loads on the left, without using the entire screen and I have to double tab on the screen to zoom it but it still remains completely disordered...
This only happens using ICS for i9003 of course, and doesnt happen when I use Gingerbread based Roms.
Would anyone help me to solve this, I usually use browsing in my device.
In advance thank you very much. :fingers-crossed:

may its ICS rom bug. But you atre the only who complaining this bug. Nobody is facing such problem.
I had the same problem, and also some characters were weardly shown. I solved it downloading Dolphin Browser HD. In settings I selected Android as the user agent and then went to Settings - Content Configuration and in the text codification I selected "Unicode (UTF 8)".
It worked for me, check if it's useful for you.

[Q] XDA homepage is looking weird.

Hi, I have been getting this 'weird look' for the XDA-developer (dot) com homepage. I tried both (the latest stable) chrome and (latest stable) firefox. It has been like this for about a week now. All other pages (portal, forum, wiki, etc) look normal but just the homepage is seemingly broken.
The moment I signed up to answer the question, the homepage is back to normal now. It is now back to normal on firefox too.
What freakish sorcery is this? My intention with this query is more of curiosity. Why does this happen? It is also happening with the dell.com (worldwide) website. What is technically (possibly) going wrong behind the scenes here?
Thanks in advance. :good:
I have the same issue. I don't know about Firefox, but on chrome you just have to click the shield icon in the address bar and click on whatever option comes up there (I can't remember exactly what it says but it should be fairly obvious) and it should sort refresh the page in the correct layout. Annoyingly, AFAIK you're going to have to do this every time you visit the portal.

I haven't been getting this issue, but I've seen it before.
I'm not a web developer, but maybe CSS style information not loading correctly ?
When I get this issue, refreshing the page usually works for me. I get it when our connection lags, too - and doesn't load everything (er, I think that's what's going on, anyway).
That fixed the error!

Thanks! That fixed the error. Wow! So its cause Chrome detects xda-dev homepage having 'insecure content'. I hope xda site admins do something about this soon cause its super annoying!

+1, I think it may be something to do with one of the plugins I have installed, since on another laptop on chrome there seems to be no issue.
Excellent Suggestion!

You were right. Its being caused by the 'HTTPS Everywhere' extension. When I disable, it, the page loads correctly. I had that installed on my firefox too. I hope XDA soon moves their complete website to HTTPS. The extension doesn't seem to have any settings where I can acknowledge an exception.

Of course, I have the same plugin installed I CBA to disable/uninstall it right now, but at least I know what's causing the issue.

XDA Forums not loading completely

Anyone else having an issue with the XDA forums not loading entirely? I'm getting a scattered load, as if there's images or something being blocked by my ISP. I'm not 100% certain, but I've confirmed here at home (CenturyLink) and at work (CenturyLink also), both my work laptop and my home gaming PC are having the same problem. I've tried browsers other than chrome which I use normally, cleared all cache, etc. Then I tried running a web proxy like zendproxy to load the site to see if it happened through different network routes, and I was able to load the forums just fine... I'm wondering if some IP or DNS block was blacklisted by CenturyLink, or if there's a bad route/hop, or who knows what else. Anyone else? Any ideas?
For what it's worth, I'm tech savvy (Career in I.T. as Systems Admin\Networking)
I am having the same problem, it is almost like the css file is not loading properly.
[Edit]
In fact if you scroll down to the bottom of the page and change to a different style it will load all the way.

Can't log in with XDA app or tapatalk on android

Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone can help me fix this issue. Only started occurring today for some reason after a reboot.
Basically I'm logged in to XDA with the app, however I can't reply or view notifications etc as it comes up with an error "security error (user may not have permission to access this feature)"
The same error occurs when I try with tapatalk.
Strangely though I'm still getting notifications like before, I just can't view them when I open the apps.
I can log in with no problems using tapatalk on my iPad and using web browser.
Tried clearing cache, reinstalling apps, wiping app data and reboot with no success.
Is there any way to get these working again?
Also, this doesn't happen when I'm on wifi. I searched these forums and google and found one post from 2011 saying to uncheck 3g compatibility in settings but I can't find that setting anywhere in the app or in general phone rings

Same issue, i thought at first it may have been redirects through tapatalk servers breaking. Disabled those, with crappalins. After doing that it persisted and then found links from 2012/13 where the problem existed and they said that any links that involved search would be disabled via applications to help server load(as they were under heavy load)
I can't confirm as nobody else is talking about it but I'm still effected on/off. Hard linked threads like "Q&A" of any given device will work but things that require a search like "participated" for your username don't generally work.
Not a solution, but sharing of sufferage.

Do you also have the same problem with the XDA app? I find it really strange that this behaviour occurs over 2 apps.
It's also started occurring intermittently now ; may work completely fine for 3 days then it breaks for a couple of days.
I don't use XDA app but it's not the app. All times I've read of it both apps are effected. Its server side whether mobile portal overload or intentional dispersement of traffic by server Admins.

I have a somewhat similar problem, I can't seem to use this app while on my home wifi, but if I connect to my mobile network (Verizon) the app loads and works perfectly. My home wifi always causes the app to say failure to load, even though everything else with my home wifi works. Ive tried clearing data, uninstalling/reinstalling. No luck.

First of all, you revived a thread from 2014 lol.
And second, around the 30th of November, XDA will have a big update, including the app. So your problem may be fixed by the upcoming update. Read more here : https://www.xda-developers.com/big-changes-to-xda-forums-are-coming-soon/
