Can anyone please tell me how to turn off the "safe search filtering" on the youtube app, its grayed out and does not let me search all content, fyi its under settings ...Thanks guys
please help
I have same issue and looking for answer
Same issue. Haven't found an answer yet.
Just have to w8 for Froyo...
Ive tried that Rom and youtube works fine (only thing is the camera doesnt work yet as the roms are still in development stage)
look here ...>>
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC Evo ROMs
if you want to try the TEST Froyo Roms look under DEV-ROMs...
on Froyo you can search for ANYTHING without it blacking out and saying 10000000 results in the upper left then no results found in center of screen when you search for "Ass Shakin" or smthn like it lmao.
hope that helps...
also as a side note i tried to pull the .apk from one of the froyo roms to no avail it said parsing error ill try again on others in few...
A response from HTC on this matter:
"This feature has been disabled per the carrier. If you wish to search for content that is something that would be blocked by a “safe search” then I would recommend going to Http://www.m.youtube.com using your Internet browser on the phone. This will allow you to search for things with out a filter."
This is the 2nd thread on the same topic, so I have posted this on each one.
Pretty lame, eh?
Never seen BS like this before...
It will not allow search for "naked gun" nor "naked truth"... What kind of nonsense is this ? Sprint guys, are you insane ?
After applying Froyo update (on my desire) today, I was now able to modify this option to disable safesearch on youtube app.
hi,
here is the xml file with the settings.
maybe someone can figure out which variable to change to unlock.

It's stupid for them to block the switch, cause youtube does not carry "dirty" videos anyway. Makes ya feel like yer using an apple device. Filter me oh great one.

I'm here to recommend one to u guys, found it in the market after a few hours.
Since i cant post links, search for 'Display orientator' by RUBBERBIGPEPPER
Well, I've looked the app up on the internet and really I can't find anything really special about it. Could you maybe explain why you think it's so wounderfull?
Here. I think it's actually worth trying! Thanks OP
I was just searching for such an app and stumbled upon this thread.
It seems like a great app. There are some apps that I use daily which do no allow vertical orientation. With this app, I was able to force it....
Thanks!
fantastic and very useful little app, flick golf looks miles better wide screen ;-) . thanks....
Perfect! Just what I've been looking for.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to bump a 2 months old thread but here goes. It's still relevant now anyway.
It's not the problem whether this app is special or not, it's actually the only app on the market that allows you to force your screen's orientation. Well, there is actually another one but it's not free and the reviews said it's not working properly.
I've had issues with one game where I accidentally kept pressing the softkeys. Used this app to turn the screen 180 degrees and I don't have that problem anymore. Also surfing the internet (I tend to switch between portrait or horizontal when browsing) or watching youtube while lying on bed is no longer a problem.
I am new on xda-dev. I find it very difficult to use this website.
First there were a lot of issues related to registering and login and now after i can login there are so many other prob.
The text jumps and flickers like a monkey for ages, and the page continues to load.
It was even difficult to search for things on the forum or even start a new thread.
Every time i had to keep pressing the browser stop button to stop loading the page.
The image does not loads for image verification and so i can not post any message.
Just for your info i use No script in my browser but even if i allow scripts on this page still i face a lot of trouble.
First you do not let people register, then you do not let them login and then you do not let them search for solutions or start a new thread.
Dont we have a simple version of this site where i could focus just on exactly what i am here for.
I do not need so much of spoon feeding in the name of interactivity and user friendliness.
Please advise.
Use Mobile app like
Tapatalk
Xda developer app
Forum runner

I can not even use it from my computer.
In some browsers it can not be opened at all.
Too irritating.
Takes ages to post one comment.
Switching over the forum style to classic solved a lot of problem.
But the Captcha image still takes ages to load.
I have to close and reopen the browser many times.
Search still creates a lot of problem.
.
The problem is not why there is Captcha but why is it not opening easily.
Anyway for your info. after a new member posts 10 replies he does not gets captcha
I just wanted suggestion regarding what should be done to be able to easy communicate on this forum. Thanx all of you.
Every time i try to start a new thread, i have to write the title. The system is supposed to search for similar threads. BUT as soon as i do so the entire page refreshes and then there is nothing there on the screen. I have to keep doing that again and again. What a foolish way of making a website. I do not need so much of spoon feeding. Dont we have a simpler interface ?
What you describe never happened to me, even when I was new.
I think you need to focus on troubleshooting your computer/browser instead of complaining about the xda website.

What browsers are you using because I use it with Firefox and Opera without problem on my computer and have even browsed with my phones default browser without issue and am now using the xda app an I have less then 10 posts do you have cookies allowed or JavaScript enabled on your web browsers? That may or may not help

I experienced similar problems using the website itself. The app seems to work a little better.

I have tried, Firefox, Midori and Konquror on two different OS, Ubuntu and Mint but every where I faced some problem or the other. As i mentioned earlier, after i changed the website interface to 'classic' the problem reduced but did not end. Now mainly have problem with Capcha not loading at times or with the auto search of the title of a new thread. I feel the site is made more pro-mobile than for computer use. If some one has not faced these problems at any time does not means that there is somthing wrong with my system. The first time when I registered on this forum the entire page was simply flickering every moment, it would have been worth making a video of that I have been using dozens of forums but never had any trouble of this kind. I feel the system could have been made simpler.
With all the people who blatantly ignore the rules and requests, I don't think a ten post limit with CAPTCHA is all that unreasonable.
I like Linux a lot, but I don't think it's out of line to suggest the trouble lies in browser or OS support especially since Linux tends to be more persnickety than Windows due to market share and development, no matter where you want to place the blame for that.
If someone is having these problems outside of Linux, details would help narrow it down.
At any rate, it's not the forum's requests that are at fault, but the integration with something or lack of support.

Seems you did not even understand the question. The question is not WHY there is captcha but why it is creating trouble loading. And if it is bcoz of linux then it is strange as captcha is used in many other websites and no where i face any problem. Moreover there are others too who have faced other problems here. And i am not just facing captcha prob there are a host of other prob that makes using the website very difficult. Also how is it that there is problem some times and not there on other ocations ? If it was due to linux it would have been there always ! I would also like to remind you that Android is also built on Linux kernel. And any website that is highly OS specific is not a well planned website. Anyway it was just a feedback to help the site owners improve it "IF" they wish to. If they dont i can always find my way out
Thanx all of you for your help.

Hi, I have been getting this 'weird look' for the XDA-developer (dot) com homepage. I tried both (the latest stable) chrome and (latest stable) firefox. It has been like this for about a week now. All other pages (portal, forum, wiki, etc) look normal but just the homepage is seemingly broken.
The moment I signed up to answer the question, the homepage is back to normal now. It is now back to normal on firefox too.
What freakish sorcery is this? My intention with this query is more of curiosity. Why does this happen? It is also happening with the dell.com (worldwide) website. What is technically (possibly) going wrong behind the scenes here?
Thanks in advance. :good:
I have the same issue. I don't know about Firefox, but on chrome you just have to click the shield icon in the address bar and click on whatever option comes up there (I can't remember exactly what it says but it should be fairly obvious) and it should sort refresh the page in the correct layout. Annoyingly, AFAIK you're going to have to do this every time you visit the portal.

I haven't been getting this issue, but I've seen it before.
I'm not a web developer, but maybe CSS style information not loading correctly ?
When I get this issue, refreshing the page usually works for me. I get it when our connection lags, too - and doesn't load everything (er, I think that's what's going on, anyway).
That fixed the error!

Thanks! That fixed the error. Wow! So its cause Chrome detects xda-dev homepage having 'insecure content'. I hope xda site admins do something about this soon cause its super annoying!

+1, I think it may be something to do with one of the plugins I have installed, since on another laptop on chrome there seems to be no issue.
Excellent Suggestion!

You were right. Its being caused by the 'HTTPS Everywhere' extension. When I disable, it, the page loads correctly. I had that installed on my firefox too. I hope XDA soon moves their complete website to HTTPS. The extension doesn't seem to have any settings where I can acknowledge an exception.

Of course, I have the same plugin installed I CBA to disable/uninstall it right now, but at least I know what's causing the issue.
Chrome+XDA Forum - Weird look
Since a couple of days I have the forum being displayed as following in Chrome:
In Firefox everything is as usual.
Hello,
I'm not associated with the developer of this app, but found this rare gem at reddit.
I was looking for a Tapatalk alternative over the last years, since Tapatalk is getting more and more advertisements (even the paid version) and it was criticized because of data leaks and a very bad privacy policy. The developers of Tapatalk don't listen to suggestions and make the app even worse, from one to the next update.
TrendStation is a Feed Player, which allows you to read RSS feeds, listen to podcasts or, which is my favourite feature of the app:
to browse any forum that uses the Tapatalk API.
I'm blown away by the simplicity of this app and the forum module, which is a lightweight alternative to Tapatalk itself. Forums can be added by adding the link of the corresponding forum.
There is no cloud service behind and the login data is not shared, everything stays local.
Since the app is really great made and the developer fixed bugs immediately when I wrote him, I'd like other users that look for a Tapatalk alternative to know about this app.
They removed ads immediately, when I asked them to do so. They'll add a donate entry at the app settings.
Google Play Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nt.ai
Website of the developer: http://limbostudio.html-5.me/?i=1
E-Mail of the developer: [email protected]
I'd like to share this app with you, because it replaced Tapatalk completely for me.
Please leave your feedback, I want to support the developer with it.
I installed this, looking for something better than TapaTalk that I only use for one forum. It will not add the forums, stating that I have the wrong URL (I know I do not) or forums do not use the Tapatalk API.
It is SNB Forums www.snbforums.com and tried www.snbforums.com/forums and it just does not work. I know they use the Tapatalk API because I can access those forums with Tapatalk.

Do you need authentication to access the forum?
I have a forum that only can be accessed after user login so that's may be the problem about the app not syncing
I can't access either but I know for sure it uses Tapatalk API of course

You can browse them with no log in. I just set at the add forum screen and get the toast stating wrong URL or does not use tapatalk api. Can't even get to the url.
Thanks for the feedback.
I talked to the developer, there seems to be a problem with a few forums using the Tapatalk API (Probably because of Cloudflare).
He is actually working on a fix.
The XDA forum and some other forums I tested (Android-Hilfe.de) are working fine for me.

Yes Cloudflare hosts SNB Forums.
I got following answer from the developer, regarding the problem that some forums cannot be added (Tapatalk API not in use error):
Limbo Studio said:
Hi,
Its seems as if The CloudFlares DDos protection is tampering with the access of the link. The site admins have not whitelisted the Tapatalk API and since these websites have migrated into Tapatalk itself, it explains why you could use these forums in The Tapatalk Application.
This issue has been faced by many around the world -*https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tap...s40.html?sid=9581d9c85a305ea26abd2a244e2cd4b8

Its not the apps fault but the websites, cloudflare blocks the tapatalk api,
ask the website admin to change it , i guess

Pass this on to the dev. New Cloudflare SDK and developer docs.

Its the websites cloudeflare firewall, it does not allow incoming connections with the app because it suspects it as a robot.
I like the app and its simple and efficient UI, and the fact that its only 8MB is pretty impressive

Thanks, I sent your response to the developer. Probably he still cannot do anything about the issue, because of the mentioned Cloudflare Firewall.
Really sad, the app is awesome. But I can only add a few of my forums.

Well its free and you can add all the major forums, so its a win-win
Cloudflare is a nuisance:crying:
can anyone send the apk? My playstore isnt working properly
I must do something wrong, none of the foruns links work, for example to add xda I use the link https://forum.xda-developers.com
Can someone point me in the right direction? tks
Hi, remove https:// to solve the problem.
I tried it, and only XDA worked for me. I really only visit 5 forums. And while I have begun to literally loathe both Tapatalk and Flipboard (these two are one in the same as far as not doing things for users),I cannot switch to to this so (as much as I'd love to) because of this issue..
Very nice presentation though...

IMNSHO that is very bad advise to disable https. With all the hacking / privacy issues on the Internet, more security is essential. not less.
That would be a short term fix at best. If that was necessary, then that alone will keep me from using (or trying to use) TrendStation.

1. Poor translation of the Polish language
2. Additional menu in posts / three dots / slightly visible, changing the theme helps a little.
The appplication is developmental and great that someone is making a conciliatory for tatapalka.
Regards and look forward to further development of the app
