[Q] XDA Issues or Been Hacked? - General Questions and Answers

Hi Everyone,
Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing issues with XDA recently.
I've had the same password since I started, and its stored in chrome so usually I just press enter on my keyboard and voila, logged in.
Today I've been getting the login failed attempt 1 out of 5 etc.
But yet, If I refresh I'll be logged in, then I'll click a forum, e.g. HTC One X and again I'm logged OUT.
Then I'll click Q n A or General etc, and back logged in.
I'm very worried and don't know whether its XDA issues, or someone changing my password etc?
Any insight appreciated, thanks.
(to moderators - this is a duplicate thread, please delete the one in general I was in wrong section)

I didn't experience any problems.

I had an error today funnily enough about not having the security permissions. All I did was start up the xda app. Error didn't stay long enough to note exact wording.
Not had that before.

If someone changed your password, you wouldn't have any access at all. I suspect there is just something wrong with the autentication cookie stored on your computer that is only giving access to certain web pages of XDA.

[Q] How Do We Get Facebook Push Notifications Working Properly?

Hi All,
First, I wanna say that you guys are so freakin awesome! I've been an xda lurker for a while, but figured it's time for me to join and interact with my fellow HTC Sensation-ers.
It'd be a good chance for me to contribute to these forums, as well as getting some help for my Sensation problems. Glad to be a part of you guys now
Question: Why doesn't Facebook for Android push notifications work on my Sensation 4G?
Background Info: Private Messages in Facebook get pushed, but regular notifications (e.g. wall posts, comments, likes) do not get pushed to my device.
Went into facebook settings, and everything it's at its default values (never touched a thing). Notifications are on.
Other information pertaining to situation: Background data is ON. Always-On mobile data has been tried on and off. Same results both ways.
Can you help a brotha out?
Thanks, guys! I look forward to being a part of your community.
I read that if you sign in on a blackberry it fixes that for android due to a permission that Facebook for bb gives. I don't know if its true but worth a try I guess

Hi fr0zenblood75,
Thanks for the response.
I also have read that before. I actually went far enough to borrow my friends Bold 9780 without him knowing
Alas, it did not work
Does every Sensation user have this issue? Or am I in the minority with this?
Also, I've restarted my phone, factory reset, uninstall and reinstall app....nothing works.
Facebook kinda sucks. You try another app like friendcaster?

I'm not familiar with friendcaster. Is it a facebook for android alternative and does it do push notifications? Thanks.

Yes its an alternative that works much better. Afaik, the only thing it doesn't do is chat.

It sucks that the Facebook app is garbage
I guess the developer has no incentive to get the app working properly for everybody, seeing that it's not ad-supported.

Xda update

Did the update from the market and it erased my pm's and erased my favorites. Nope. Reverted back to old version

I like that the new update has the ability to hit the Thanks button at least. I always felt like a jerk thanking someone from the app but not having the ability to hit the Thanks button.
Don't use pm much so not an issue for me...

New version is a lot nicer... I had an issue with it duplicating My Favorites.... easy fix... just go to Manage Applications and for XDA app, clear cache clear data... then reopen XDA. Sign in, then set your preferences and favorites... all should be good.
Its strange when i apply dark theme ....always force close when i enter in posts.
Someone having the same issues?

[Q] Chrome Beta problem.

Anyone know how to solve this problem? Obviously i cant reinstall all the roms and disable the extension that way.
Theyre all the same phone.
Have you tried going to your Google Play account (on a computer), looking at your devices, and removing the ones you no longer use? I know I had problems similar but not exactly like that, and removing unused devices helped. Along with renaming my actual one. Sorry if this didn't help, but it's my only guess

Wow you have installed alot of different roms

If you go to the Play Store website on a computer or in the browser of your device and log in. You just scroll down to bottom of the home page and lick on "My Orders & Devices".Then click on the Devices tap at the top of the page, unchecked the visibility, this will allow you to remove those un used devices.

CM 10 Blurry MMS

Hey guys,
I have a problem that has always been on my phone throughout all CM10 ROMs that I have had. Whenever I would take a screenshot and would want to send it via MMS, it would turn really blurry when it is sent. But I can access it in the gallery app and it is not blurry at all. I think it gets compressed as it is sending, I am not sure.
Anyone else have this problem and/or knows how to fix it?
Thanks

Are you using a third party messenger I'm using go sms. I figured it out. You just have to go into settings and mess with the size that it sends.

It works for me just fine. The issue seems to be on your end. Maybe your network is too slow or maybe something else on your phone is keeping it from going through.
What are trying to do? Who are trying to contact? There may be another way.

I'm using xda on desktop (Chrome).
This is what I'm accessing.

Change username or cancel an account.
I wanted to change my username.
I put all my details and pressed "Send" then a rotating icon appeared which was rotating infinite times.

They might also help you figure out why the contact form was giving you issues, it might be something they need to fix on their end.
