Anyone else being spammed like hell by XDA right now? - General Questions and Answers

I have never been spammed so much in my life. Every freaking page I open gets this stupid popup. Been going on constantly for the last couple of days.
Anyone else or is it just my [chrome] browser being broken?
I already cleared out all my cookies & cache & everything else but still get this popup on every_freaking_page. STOPPIT. lol

I had already disabled flash which did the trick, but this looks like a great plugin. Thanks.
We'd like to encourage websites to use straightforward, unobtrusive advertising. That's why we've established strict guidelines to identify acceptable ads, which are shown under default settings. If you still want to block every ad you can disable this in a few seconds.

AIM is Officially Here !!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the official aim is finally here for android in the market !!
Interesting. Says it connects to facebook too. . . thanks man.
about time the official aim is here for us
Great... Hope Yahoo came along.
1) I'm not seeing all my FB friends.
2) I don't get a sound notification when I get incoming message.
Does anybody else have those issues?
I get notifications, but I can't connect to facebook. The option is blacked out.
works great, minus the lifestream being a non-must for me.
also, no auto-correct is really frustrating when you're not the most accurate typer and are normally spoiled with auto-correct throughout the rest of the phone.

You need to download the DESKTOP Beta version of the AIM and enable FB thru there, once you do that then it will allow you to chat on your phone.

App in the Market is called:
9s-Weather (with widget)
Search for that and you should get it.
If not, search for and install barcode scanner, if you don't have it already and then scan the image below with it and go to browser from the resulted options.

How to change the applications for double installation?

Hello to all,
I hope not to have the wrong section, but frankly I consider this more of a trick that programming something.
Let me explain my problem.
I tried in every way to the root to my phone, but to no avail.
Basically I wanted to run the root simply to uninstall Whatsapp (which is a native application and it does not work because it was too dated).
Once you have uninstalled that version, I would have installed a new one.
Being that I can not update the version that is on, I wanted to ask if there was a way to change, starting from the installation file name
the app. The idea is to show the system with a different app and then install two WhatsApp that difference in name only and folders process.
A minimum of programming experience I have it even if not directly in Android environment
I hope I was clear enough.
Try to have different signatures in whatsapp.
If younwanna have to,
But I suppose it not a noob thing.
I have this for youtube 2 youtube installed at the same time.

I don't know if this is a malicous file or not, I haven't allowed it to download. Mods should look into removing this advertiser for the safety of fellow users.

Well, your first step here is to immediately stop using IE as your browser. Nothing is safe or good about that thing and I have to imagine that if you run ANY other browser and this wouldn't happen. But in your defense, some of the ads on this site are a bit awful. It's quite frequent that a Kid Rock ad will start playing sound, which is completely unacceptable imo.

Agree on that.
Sorry to close this, but it is really in the wrong place and the admins who can take care of problem ads most likely won't find it...
It would be really great if you could repost your issue in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696660

Question S22 Ultra System UI app

I've been optimizing my S22 Ultra SD and it seems a significant amount of CPU utilization is being chewed up by the Android 12 System UI app. What side effects will occur if it is disabled or can it be specifically fined tuned?
Edit: I'm using Nova for my launcher.

I wouldn't disable it if I were you.
You disable or uninstall anything else? It's obviously "looking" for something, not finding it and trying over and over.

Didn't disable or uninstall anything however I trimmed back some of the s pen features (like provide a warning if s en is left behind among others). Got the results I was looking for in spades.
Edit: by turning off the majority of s pen features the System UI app went from the biggest CPU user to the smallest CPU user! Didn't really need them anyway!
I have multiple Spens, so many of those features don't work anyway. Now you gotta do something about DuckDuckGo. HOLY crap, unless of course your job is searching the internet all day!
Love DuckDuckgo - got the new feature that blocks app trackers enabled so it's always running. Best feature ever.
