Problems with NPR app

When I click on a story I get shrunken pictures and a black screen. I've removed the hosts file, so i assume it's not ad block.
I'm using TP cm7.

I hope that was sarcasm.
FWIW, I have no problem with the NPR app. I'm running stock Asian WWE GB leak 2.37.707.3.

I'm at a loss. That picture i posted is what every article looks like. I've reinstalled the app from the market. Maybe some app i have is interfering?

Since TP's ROM is based off a nightly I thought maybe this is related to that but the nightly threads didn't report any similar bug.

Looking again at your capture, I'm wondering if it is a themeing issue. It looks like maybe a black font black background or maybe a transparency issue. Mine has text (black on white) where your screenie shows all black. I don't know anything about TP so I thought I'd mention it.

I'm using the system theme in cm7. The other themes were stripped out. How do i install another theme like cyan bread? Are they apk's?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

I've never used the TP ROM personally, but it looks like there's a theme'd version and a "non-theme'd" version. Not sure if that has any effect on the NPR app, but it might be worth looking into?

I'm using the non themed. I also installed a different theme and have the same error.

Update. I'm seeing the same problem using the reddit app, but not all articles. I click the link within reddit and the article turns black and i can't see any text.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

This happened on the reddit app with black background. When i pinch to zoom, it turns white again. If i use the white background, the issue never occurs.

(Q) You tube links

Ever since I updated to 2.35 T-Mobile, YouTube links no longer open in the app, is there a fix for this?

Does this app association issue affect only the US rom? Because I'm now on EU 4.0.4 and everything is working as expected.

For someone who came into this thread with such an attitude, you are completely and utterly wrong. US customers have an app called htclinkifydispatcher that prevents hyperlinks from directly opening associated apps. You can thank Apple for this, but unless you root, there is no way around this little annoyance.

Either way works, but yours is only worthwhile if they're not rooted, where as the link I supplied will provide a much better solution for rooted individuals. Not sure why it upset you, though.

Went back to 2.21, none of these solutions fixed it. It got annoying.

[Q][Sense 4.1] E-Mails on lockscreen?

I just wondered if there's any possibility to make mails showing up on the (default) lockscreen like SMS. Any ideas?

Have you tried the "Productivity" lockscreen in Personalization?

Yeah I tried it, but it is buggy with the Holo Light skin so I want to use the Wallpaper-Lockscreen (the first one, I'm not sure how it's called in English)

what rom are you using?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app

Stock unrooted.
To clarify what I mean with buggy: On this skin, the cards in the productivity lockscreen don't have any background, so you can't read anything when you have more than one card, because there's one text lying directly over another.

That sounds absurd, reset factory settings and try again.

It's a problem caused by this specific skin, other users have it as well. Other skins work fine btw. Sadly, I don't know how to change parts of a skin :/

XDA App issues

Quite simply, is anyone else having issues with the app? I'm talking about the Play Store app, not through Tapatalk. Probably been almost a week it seems very goofy. Every other app on my phone works fine. Android Central works flawless (in comparison) but not XDA
Just trying to see if I'm not alone.

I agree, minor, frustrating but annoying too. Haha. My pm box has been useless today for a few hours. In the last few days it's been hit or miss. Plus content takes forever to load sometimes, even the latest posts when you open the app.

I get a problem with the app where if I click the next page button it sometimes takes 30 seconds to register. Only been getting that for the last month or so.

Try scrolling up and down the thread it will jump to the next page. Does the same to me we need a android native app for xda. I hate to say this but even FB is better nowadays.
Sent from my One X using xda premium

Xda app has always had some minor glitches ever since I used it. I found that they mostly pop up after restoring apps on a new ROM. So what I do is just uninstall it and reinstall fresh and everything works good again, mostly.

See I guessed the same thing and it still doesn't work for me. I nailed down too that one specific message in my PM box will FC the app. Weird. I had to go on my laptop to check and delete it. Online works perfect but the app has just been strange lately. At least for the most part the forum loads and I don't get FC issues but issues still persist.
I'm enjoying this community here so much I check often, sucks when the app is malfunctioning.

Now that you mention PM box, reminded me that mine fcs leaving it.:-\

For those having issues accessing their pm box, what I usually do is go to my profile the my posts and then click on a post (any). Then back out then got to pm box. Usually works. I know it's ridiculous to have to that but it's a work around. It may not work for everyone but I hardly ever have force closes that way. Just fyi.

Whoa that's stupid lol yeah I have other issues too. Like when I get a notification from the xda app I click on it and it opens the app then loads to infinity. But the pm bug is THE most annoying by far...

Is it possible

Is it possible to have the screen turn on when I get a notification ( I hate to say it but like the iPhone does you what I mean) ? Or what I need a third-party app to do that

By sub I mean an option inside a main option in settings... I know if you go to the message app like your going to send a text and hit the menu it will also bring up message settings too... It has been a long time since I've been on sense but I'm sure I saw that option somewhere.. Sorry for being so vague...
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

No worries.
Yeah looks like the only setting is to show message on lock screen, but nothing to actually turn screen on when it arrives. I really only want this because I always have my phone on silent. When playing Xbox with headphones I miss everything but I guess that's a good thing lol.
Anyways thanks for the help

I don't ever remember hearing about that option built into a rom--
But, as Google is your proverbial friend--maybe this--it is for text messages, maybe something else available for more notifications--

I use this app, simple and does exactly what it says it does. Turns on your screen when you get a text, nothing more nothing less.
I bought the pro version, there is also a free version that does the same thing.
There used to be an stock option in sense, I'm not sure what version they took it out in.
