XDA TV (Dark Edition) v1.2

XDA TV (Dark Edition) v1.2
Warning: If the app isn't working, just drop me an email or post the problem here, you don't need to rate the app with 1 star and comment like: "The app isn't working". Thanks for the support​
Now you can have all the XDA TV videos wherever you go using this application. Now on your phone, if you have a tablet you should get it here, also you can get the "normal theme" version here.
As many of you have seen, the tablet application got an update, featuring a new feed(that is hosted on my own server), description text and a poster image for each video. I'm now working to bring all of this to the phone version, so stay tuned. Maybe later today it will be finished
I've been working on this for a week. Making the layout using HTML and CSS3 was easy, but I got a lot of problems while trying to make the code work on Android, so I took a bit more to match the code for Android. At the time I can't find another way to open up the videos without firing up the browser to redirect to the Video application, the OS has a lot of problems with HTML5 Video tag so I've done it like this.
The technologies used on this application:
PhoneGap
iScroll
jQuery
HTML5 and CSS3

Hi, don't know if this is just me but the app doesn't work for me. I get no response when i click on the icon. I am running a DHD with CM7 in case that helps. I'll give the normal verion a go now and see if that works.
EDIT: I uninstalled and installed the 'normal' phone version, i get a bit further: a black screen and then an application error "THe connection to the server was unsuccessful. (file:///android_asset/www/index.html)"
Hope that helps?

I have also a problem, i cant select the first item in the list. (Phone Edition)

Uh... where's the dl link?

First Problem: I'm trying to solve this. Strangely PhoneGap is having bugs to work on some ROMs.
Second Problem: That means the app took too long to contact the server(usually because your connection is slow at the time). Just try again and it might work.

Thanks for looking into it, I seem to be having problems with the ' normal' phone version too. Let me know if there is anything you need to know, or if you want some testing done.

I have the same problem as in the "EDIT:" above...

The "The connection to the server was unsuccessful. (file:///android_asset/www/index.html)" problem will be rolling out tomorrow, since it's a server fix and I'll only have time to do it tomorrow, this is happening because your connection might be slow and the app is trying to fetch the entire XDA TV library(all the episodes since the first one), which is causing timeouts. The solution will be to remove the very very old episodes, making the list smaller and reducing the problems with timeouts.
A new version of the app might come out later that will support reading the "old archive", which will be created tomorrow.
PS: I'm having tests this week on the university, plus I need to work, so I'm not having much time to develop

Thanks, will await the fix
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Just pushed the server-side fix. I'll be working to replace the black screen on the opening with a fancy splash screen

The feed doesn't seem to be updating on this app. Been checking it for a bit now and it doesn't update while there are newer episodes out. The last one showing on this app is "Nexus, Ice Cream Sandwich, and a Contest to win an HTC Amaze 4G", which is a bit outdated. Anyone else having this problem?
-Mike

Sorry, I've been working hard and also trying to completely redesign the XDA TV app so I can't update the feed, but I'll try to do it today.
Sorry

[Q/NEED HELP] GPS inaccuracy

Hello everyone. As you can see I have a GPS inaccuracy problem. My phone fixes to 7-8 satellites really fast (approx. 10 sec.), but when I use Run Keeper/similar sports tracker or Google Maps my trail is like zig-zag, app shows that I'm moving at crazy speed and so on. I tried AGPS Patch 3.1 by crypted, GPS fix by xenova, flashing some Radios (31_M and 18_M), ROMs and kernels (currently ARHD and Sultan kernel, tried ViperS, CM10.1), but nothing helps... I add some pictures which show my trail when I went across street (Vilniaus g.). Please help. Thanks

Nobody knows what problem this is?

If the problem remains also after wiping all, I think it could be an hardware issue.
Have you always had this problem?
When you use GPS while driving your car, the path has the same issue?

Totally wiped and installed CM10.1, but the problem remains. I bought it used. I don't know how much time it was used, but the digitizer had stock glue and the VOID is not damaged. No rust. So I think the previous user didn't have problems with phone. Never used navigation in car because I live in small country, which doesn't require any navigation to drive across Can RUU affect this? I really need normal lock...

If you try using only google maps? Test it making sure that it is the only app using GPS (kill background open apps).

i have the exact same problem! I've had the phone for a while, so maybe it's something that is worn. I'm thinking about the connections between the antennas and the phone for example. I hope we can find a solution! It's independent of which rom I use and which apps I use.

Have you seen this tip? "New Sensation Install - Gps Problems (Fixed)" @ cyanogenmod forum.
I can't find the option in cm10.1. So maybe they removed it or changed it to something else.
I'm thinking about flashing cm9 just to try it..

Google Maps behaves exactly the same. Arrow, which shows my position, jumping all arround my street pretty much the same as in RunKeeper.

I don't think that this is something software specific. I think that the problem is hiding somewhere deeper but not in software, because all roms and different radios behave the same way. I think this is something hardware related.

Mmm, then I think it's an hardware problem... try to contact HTC support!

Hello again every one. I don't want to create a new thread so I'm writting here. Maybe someone knows what problem this is? HTC support, as always, suggesting me to do things like resetting phone, pulling out the battery, fully charge and so on... I thinking about selling this wonderful phone because of such a big problem... I can't use GPS everywhere...

Gps inaccuracy problem is also facing to me too.

I solved it by flashing the latest firmware and use clocksync before each time i run. Works reasonable, but the clock drifts quite fast. It wasnt enough to only use clocksync or only flash firmware.

It's back.. I've ordered an Omate Truesmart to use for running instead..
My thoughts are that it could be the gps antenna connections to the back. I have no other ideas..

[Q] Orientation tilted by 90 degrees

Hi,
I have a problem with my galaxy note 10, I noticed that in some apps this orientation is tilted by 90 degrees, so instead of down, the left side of the screen is down. Can anyone help me with a solution to recalibrate the gyroscope?
The happens in more than 1 app and also happens in live walpaper so I don t think it s app related.
Thank you,
Daniel

Which live walpaper are you using? I use an app called ultimate rotation control to force the an to any which way I please, at any given time. The app has an option to lock a certain orientation that can be set whenever you want to keep a certain orientation, no matter which way you turn the tablet. The app has free 7 day trial and can be found in the Google play store. If you buy the pro key, the app will keep working after your 7 day trial.

Hi, Some of the apps where the gyroscope is visibly out of sync are Sensor kinetics - gyroscope demo and all other Hardware tester apps, VR tunnel live Wallpaper and all similar live wallpapers., Skull 3D live wallpaper, It s weird because for photosphere and Google Sky map it works but for other gyrospope specific apps, and i have tested allot, it is not. There has to be a way to recalibrate the Gyroscope like the Level apps have for the accelerometer.

Interesting.... Are you running a stock or custom Rom?

Hi, I just switched 3 different ROMS, just to see if this is ROM related.... it's not, same problem on all ROMS i did not try Android 4.3 CM ROMS, only the stock like ROMS, but i really enjoy using the pen, it keeps the screen clean and working with it is precise and i also use multitasking quit allot, more than i thought when i bought the tablet. I will try to make a video and pot it on YouTube and here, maybe i will get some help, but it's weird when you tilt your tablet back and it tilts the image to the left. I have found similar problems on other galaxy phones, but not on the note 10.1.

mate i advise you to not spam the dev threads with the same question.. it's selfish and it will only annoy people and you won't get the help you badly wanted in return..
this is the right place to ask so be patient and wait for responses..
first can you post a screenshot?... and have you tried doing a factory reset or reflash full-wipe?..

Hi, sorry for posting all over, I'm freaking out a little, and I'm just hoping someone will be able to help me with this. I attached some GIF's to this post, hopefully you will be able to see the animations.
I tried wipe data factory reset, and i wipe before every new ROM, 3 different ROMS. Is there any way i can reset Gyroscope stats like Reset Battery stats?
There was supposed to be a Calibrate Menu like in other Galaxy Phones, but it seems that the tablet does not have that.
Thank you for understanding.

Bug in OTA Android 5.0 - Setting crash

When I go to Settings -> "Data Usage" the application crash: "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".
Someone have the same problem?

I'm on T-Mobile, and have not had a problem with looking at Data Usage. Try reflashing?

No problem here.

Try going into recovery, wiping the cache partition and rebooting.
If that doesn't work, you might consider doing a factory reset.

People have started getting the OTA hours ago. Right around the time the factory images came online...

OTA filename or link pleaaaase!
That way we can see if the crashing problem can be reproduced
Format cache & dalvik cache, see if that helps.

I have seen only 1 guy saying he got an OTA and he was a troll using Moto X.
Anyway, the only one that experiences this type of issue is OP and no one else so this is not a bug by default and this thread needs to be closed/deleted.

Same problem
I also have a similar problem trying to access language and input. It crashes. Haven't checked data storage setting yet.
Another bug I found, at least for my nexus 7 2013, is for apps that are call-related. Skype, kakaotalk, groove ip, none of them receives voice input from the other side to my device, hence it's muted or screechy.. Skype abruptly ends when attempting video chat, and voice chat doesn't properly start either. Note this is mostly voice apps.
People probably shouldn't conclude it's "pointless" or not without understanding properly what's going on.

I dont remember how i fixed this problem when i had the same issue with 5.0..... Can anyone help me?
i try with:
- wipe cache
- reset factory
- clear cache of setting app
nothing works

I went to my carrier's office and ask for a new simcard, telling them that the actual was damaged and guess what, it worked!! I finally could use the data usage function!

Chrome Tab Layout Issue

Hello there! I recently acquired a 3rd generation Moto G. However I've run into a few issues. My tab switcher appears to be stuck in "accessibility" mode; a weird tab switcher that uses the old holo UI. Here is a picture of the problem:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I checked chrome://flags and the accessibility tab switcher setting is not even on. Toggling on/off doesn't seem to change anything.
I also have no animations for opening the drop down menu, or opening the tab switcher. Pressing any of the UI buttons simply instantly opens the menu, as if I had battery saver on (which I don't). I've tried the dev and beta versions of chrome, and they also exhibit the same problems. Clearing cache, reverting to the factory version of chrome, etc... all don't seem to fix the issue.
I am running Android 5.1.1, with chrome 44.0.2403.133.The phone is the 1gb RAM/8gb storage version. I did some other research and found someone who had the same problem a few years ago, but on a Samsung phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490353
Please help!

I'm really surprised there are no replies to this thread. We can't be the only two people with "Merge tabs and apps" turned off.
I'd like to know if this issue is present just on the 1GB models or all 2015 models?
Running an XT1540 here with the latest 5.1.1 firmware from Bell.

Thank you so much for posting - I was beginning to think that I was the only one in the world with a bugged phone!
I actually purchased the phone at Best Buy in the states, but I am using it in Canada. Do you think that has anything to do with the issue?

I highly doubt it has anything to do with *where* you operate the phone.
It's likely a firmware or Chrome specific setting for 1GB devices running Lollipop.
It's good to know you purchased yours in the US and have this issue. I can rule out it being specific to Bell issued firmware.

Yes, that's what I thought as well. The accessibility tab switcher was originally meant for low memory devices, so I'm assuming something got triggered in chrome and flagged our Moto Gs as low ram offenders.
Kinda funny, given how chrome runs just fine on more budget orientated devices like the Moto E, but gives up on the newest Moto G!

i have noticed the same problem the 1st day i have used chrome.. i just installed firefox .. as i dont use chrome which lacks in addons

I went ahead and opened a ticket with Chromium: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=525745
It would be nice to verify if 2GB users are also affected.
The issue should likely be raised with Motorola/Lenovo as there's another bug ticket that may be related:

I can confirm that my 2GB Moto G3 16GB is NOT affected.
hope your issue gets solved.:good:

I remember someone said something about Moto G 1GB model having a low ram parameter enabled in build.prop. Chrome may be using this to conserve memory. I have 2gb and don't have this issue.

v8s10 said:
In the build.prop, ro.config.low_ram=true If set to false chrome tab layout is normal, tried it on my 8gb/1gb ram model. Do so at you're own risk, i have no idea if editing this will cause any other problems, working fine for me so far...ymmv.
