What version are you running? And is it free or paid. Is tapatalk the only option for following subribed forums on xda?

Tapatalk 4.5.2, free version. You can always receive email for subscribed forums.

Tapatalk Blue works great.

Yep but on my nexus 5 an my lg g2 haven't tested my nexus 7 yet
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Tested on stock 4.4.2 and Purity ROM on Nexus 7.
XDA Free, XDA Premium, Tapatalk and Tapatalk PRO all have trouble connecting to the forum for me as of a couple of days ago. I thought I was the only one. But it seems to work better on data than WiFi. You can get the forum to load of you keep refreshing the app. Unfortunately, we will have to use our PCs until then.. I'm lucky I was able to connect now.

So im not the only one. I have no idea whats going on. Now even with a refresh I can connect. Keep getting message "cannot connect get ahold of forum admin" Im at a loss as to what to do. Its a shame I cant follow my favorites.

I get failed to connect to forum please contact forum administrator along those lines. It seems to be getting slightly better but it still bad. If I keep refreshing a lot I can load the pages.. But it sucks because I know it's not on our side, almost certainly with XDA. I changed my IP just in case by spoofing my Mac on my router but still nothing. Other forums work well. It's unfortunately a big problem that only a handful of us are experiencing. Waiting game til someone hears our cries for help I suppose.

Yep it sucks. Just got my new N5 and now I cant follow my stuff. So
i tried an experiment and tried my wifes GS4 and same results. Wierd huh. I hope someone sees our plight soon.

It's a real pita. For a few days now it's very difficult to get a connection. Hope someone sees this because I don't know who the forum administrator is who we're supposed to contact.

Thank you good sir. Didn't know that was there even after looking I'll admit. So it seems like a lot of other people are having the same problem. It definitely makes dealing with something easier when you're not the only one and saves from having to troubleshoot.
Edit : can confirm its something between XDA and our ISPs.
The problem I described happens on Xfinity Comcast Internet.
However, the problem does not occur at all on LTE T-Mobile.

HTC's Gallery

When I had an HTC One M8, the gallery app allowed you play a video and take pictures from within it. Is there a similar gallery app for the S6?

You could, but that's about 25% as efficient as doing it through HTCs gallery. If it's a short video, it could be over by the time your phone actually takes one single screen shot.

Download a third party app from the play store. Aside from that, good luck. There really is no other way. While I understand it's less "efficient", ignoring advice is just foolish.

Edge Panels/Feeds

Since the Samsung Galaxy App Store is horrible when it comes to finding what you are looking for I'm making this OP to discuss/share Edge panels/feeds. If you have one that you find useful, or jsut want tot alk about them feel free to post below. I would like to see what types of extra functionality we can get from the edge besides media controls and other small things (edge feed)
I'm looking to try new things ones assuming there are more than the half dozen or so on the Galaxy App Store. I would like a edge feed for Google news, or maybe Google fit of possible.

I have there already a question. I saw in some Videos about the Phone a Football App but i couldnt find one on my own. Is there something like this?

That's also a possibility. I checked the Galaxy App Store and it doesn't have the Yahoo panels, so maybe someone could pull the files for you from their phone? If you know how I can do it, but this is my first Samsung phone in a long time

What carrier? Many of the U.S. carriers delete and/or add pre-installed apps. Especially Verizon. Might want to search on Yahoo and see if you can find anything.

Got the phone this morning and here are my thoughts on the Edge...
I'm coming from an LG G3 which is the same size screen but because of the Edge the Samsung screen is definitely small but I guess it makes the phone narrower too.
Now, on to the Edge panels...
Why are there only 5 spots for contacts when you can have two columns for other things?
My feeling is the Edge panels are just a gimmick as I have been using an app called SwipePad for years and it gives me short-cuts at a swipe and very customisable too with add ons.

The question you'd have to ask were you approved to start with. Also check your all section to see if you have updates. I noticed sometimes updates never show up on the update section since the S6

Anyone figured out how to get it to unlock the phone.
I say Hi Bixby and it answers but every time I say a command I have to unlock the phone. I saw it said I could change it but... the box disappeared too quickly.

I haven't figured that out, either. Really needs to work from locked screen. Maybe trusted in the same way we can trust a paired bluetooth device.

Re: most secure and streamlined ROM experience
Hey guys I am trying to get the most secure ROM like as Google as possible, where I can lockdown firewall and app permissions as well as data. I've looked at Lineage and Havok with microG has anyone have any good or bad experiences with these. I still would like to use Google play but not at the sacrifice of privacy.

Oh, if you're talking secure away from Google, you are little too late, Google already have all your information stored in a safe place, so tinfoil hat won't help.

Past I am talking about future, it's never too late to start keeping back your information from company's simply because they already had it years ago. It's like saying you should allow an ex girlfriend into your room anytime she wants because she knows how big your ***** is.
