[Q] XDA Apps on YP-G70 FC? - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Anyone have got XDA Apps running on their YP-G70? I installed from Market, but once direct to any thread, just FC.
Any fix for it?

I've seen this on the xda forum app powered by tapatalk. It did not do it on all forums; but it did do it on the one I was interested it which was this one. I just got tapatalk instead.
If I get time, I might look in to what's causing the FC

You are quite right. Only Tapatalk works!

XDA app is not maintained and, at least as of September or so, hadn't been updated in months. It didn't work on any Honeycomb device for example. I switched to vanilla tapatalk and haven't looked back.

Yup, xda app not working on the yp-g1 either.

I took a look at the code and it is using the IME or ESN as some sort of password and of course since tablets and our player to not have these ID's the function returns null and causes the force close....
I may spend sometime trying to get the function to return a random IME "like" number for compatiblity...
You'll notice that everything works fine until you try to login...

Looks/functions well using Xscope browser, no app required. I can't say enough good things about Xscope, only browser that knows how to wrap text, and pinch-zoom on mobile pages.

Yes, logged in and seems alright now. (XDA Premium)

So, I rewrote the function in the to return a series of 0's and now the xda app functions as it is supposed to. I will be including this in the R5 version of the Foreigner rom.
Hopefully this will fix any incompatibility issues with other apps using this function.

[Q] XDA premium causes FC on Nook Color HC

I was so excited to be able to use a sponsored version of the XDA app on my honeycombed NC! Login works fine but as soon as I try to open a topic it causes a force close. Does anyone have a similar experience?
Thanks!
I am also getting a FC but when attempting to log in.

I can't get it to work on CM7 on mine, Premium. FCs when opening a topic.
Actually, only occurs when logged in, opens topics fine when I'm not logged in.

How are you using regular XDA on CM7? FC's on me everytime unless I use my framework patch. I'm on CM7v8. Thanks for any info you can give.

Well, I must say the same, the only reason I bought this app was to contribute to xda. I hardly buy any apis . Too many goods free apps on the market. but like you guys stated mine fcs when logged in cm7. If any of you find a solution please post.
It's not just HC. I'm on NF 0.6.8 customized.
XDApremium FC's on me when logged in and attempting to open a thread. When not logged in...no problems.
Just to add, I get the same thing. Something with authentication.
Ditto here, on a modified Froyo ROM. With both premium and free app versions.
Hopefully the app developers will see this and help us fix it!
Edit: seems tapatalk works fine though.
I can log in ( free version, froyo) and before I log in, soft keys works fine. After I log in, Soft keys makes the app FC.
Same issue. FC when exiting app or viewing topics, but only after logging in. I'm using the non-pro version.
I'm having the same problem on Phiremod 5.3 with the non-premium app.

XDA App not working on Nook

I spent some time looking through forums, if I missed the answer to my question you can throw me in the fire.
Running nightlie #95 and dal oc [email protected] 1200 mhz. 7.03 stable all the way up to this nightlie I haven't been able to run the XDA on the nook. It loads up and I can make a few selections than it fc's.
Is this because I changed my build.prop for netflix? Any ideas?

NOT TRUE!
The XDA app (free version) looks for an IMEI number which the Nook does not have. DizzyDen has put together an app to patch your framework.jar file to give your Nook a fake IMEI based off your Serial number so apps like the XDA app, Swype, HBO GO, and the Xfinity app which look for IMEI numbers will work.
Is using Tapatalk just the easier idea?
Guys i hate to break it to all of you but the XDA APP has work on cm7 since day 1. No mods no tapatalk pro no nothing. install it from the market and run what ya brung. i have never had a problem with it once.
EDIT: This is without any hacking of the IMEI at all.
I will have to try out the imei file. Sick of seeing "process com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity"
Thanks for the ideas

This is true on phones (which have an IMEI) not on the Nook...

In my experience the XDA never worked right. On both NookieFroyo and on CM7 I could use it to browse but once I tried to login it would force close. Works great on my Eris though!
I wonder what is the advantage of the app is anyway? I just use Opera and go to the website. I'm doing it right now.
again i beg to differ I have never once had an issue with the XDA app from the day i got my nook. Never hacked anything. It has always worked perfectly every single time. Not to say other people my not have issues, but both my Nook and My Wife's nook has never had an issue.
edit: Question or clarification perhaps. Are you guys getting errors just trying to load the app or when making a reply?
The error it's typically upon logging in.

When you say it worked from day one, which version of the app and CM7 are you referring to? And what are you on now?
I have a recent SD install CM7/n87 and a fresh download of the XDA free app, and it FCs everytime when you try to do anything relating to log in. Can you confirm what you're running, may have done special to get it to work?

fuul, what you describe is exactly the problem I am having
I owe this thread an apology. I had never actually tried to login on the XDA app. I just browsed forums.
Note However: Now that i have logged into the app. I can still browse fine, the only time i'm getting a FC is when i try to reply to a thread.
Again i apologize for not testing further before spouting off at the mouth. Yes there is in fact a problem, i just don't experience "as bad" of a problem as some of the rest of you.
I gotta say that its kind of rediculous this app has problems running on the nook correctly since xda seems to be the center of Nook Color hacking universe.
Then again the app is pointless when I can just use my browser. In fact I'm now getting rid of any and all apps that can be replaced with my browser. What's the point?
just get the xda premium app, that does not require an imei number or do the framework hack.

But why? What does the app offer that browsing to the full site does not? Besides looking like crap and taking up space.

Anytime I can use an app made for a particular forum I use that over the browser anyday. Having multiple bookmarks saved for each forum thread and for each forum starts to clutter up the rest of my non forum bookmarks. An app like XDA lets you save favorites within the app itself, therefor freeing up adding 20 some odd extra bookmarks of threads I like to keep up on.
The site provides that same functionality. You can subscribe to threads eliminating the need to fill your browser with extra bookmarks.
When I open my browser and click on my xda bookmark I'm automatically signed in and ready to pickup on all the threads I have participated in or have interest in. I just don't see the need for a xda app. There has to be a reason for the app. There must be something it does for the user the website will not. WHY!?!?!?!? LOL

Lower bandwidth for one? Noticed that with the stock browser and dolphin HD, there are times when browsing the XDA site directly it has issues rendering certain pages. Could be luck of the draw and a misbehaving ad banner for all I know, or a bad internet connection from my side, no idea. But overall the XDA app feels like it's lower bandwidth.
Since I haven't been able to get the logged in version of the free XDA app to work, I couldn't tell you beyond just this if it's worthwhile.

facebook app force closes

I updated the app a couple nights ago and now it wont open and load anything, it hangs and then force closes everytime. I've uninstallled and reinstalled and it will allow me to login and it will work fine right up until I close the app and reopen it.
Any thoughts?
Had the same problem. I ended up reverting to the previous version with a backup.
Crashes for me too. I also went to a backup. Not sure what is that last version to work. My backup was from a month ago.
Mine too on CM7 Nightly 177 booting off an SD card. Hopefully they can get it fixed.
Have you fixed permissions? It runs fine for me,not a fan of it but it works.

Seems like the app is crashing when it tries to find your location using the (non-existant) GPS. Is there some way to inject a fake GPS position?
Install tetherGPS lite and start the client, it spoofs the app into thinking there is a GPS signal. Recent check ins load fine with this fix.

Why would you post this?
As of nightly 212, there is no built-in ability to fake GPS. This was never any mention of that ability on any changelog, and it certainly wasn't sneaked in or anything.
Facebook still attempts to access GPS and force-closes as of nightly 212 / October 6th (I'm guessing it is an incorrect or simply unhandled exception. Facebook for both Android and iOS are famous for having terrible programmers).
A fake GPS program is still required to use Facebook.
The Facebook app goes from bad to worse. Uninstalled.
Is there any other fix that doesn't require me to start the gps client every time before wanting to use facebook? What is the latest version of facebook I can get that will function fine without a silly work around? 1.6.?

Swype autospace problem with Chrome

For a while, I thought it was my phone that was having issues, but I happened upon the issue noted in the link below. Also, see attached screenshot for sample of the issue. Tested Swype with stock browser and it works fine.
I use Swype as my primary keyboard and have gotten so used to it that I can't imagine using anything else at this time.
If you too have, or experience this problem, go to the link below and leave your comment or star the issue.

Edit:
Forgot to mention that I'm on stock/official ICS(UCLF6). Not certain if this problem exists in other ICS builds.

I use Swype all the time as well as chrome on my note, and I don't have this problem. I'm using a custom ics ROM black star currently, but even with other ics roms, still haven't had this problem in the URL bar. It has happened to me in the captcha input box on this page though on the second word...
Are you using the version of Swype includes with the build or the latest beta from their website?
I'm using the newest beta and don't have this issue.
Incidentally, the new beta can be loaded alongside the pre-installed version now.
I use SwiftKey and whenever I type on chrome it works fine the first word or two then it starts duplicating the same word over and over again until I close out of the keyboard and reopen it. It drives me crazy!

Happens to me too sometimes. It thinks you're still Swyping. It hadn't happened for awhile but it might have been in chrome now that you mention it.

I've also noticed much more consistent next word prediction and it automatically saved new words for you. Also knows makes from your contacts and it can connect to Facebook and Twitter for the same thing.
I have this problem on my sony xperia s
Same problem here as well. Stock Rogers ICS.
I actually don't use the actual swype feature, as I just like the keyboard for the ability to long press keys to get punctuation, and symbols. Swyping in a text box does help fix the problem for me though!

Browser White Page Issue.

Hello everyone, I am a fairly new XDA user and have been on topics for my Galaxy S2. I also happen to own a Transformer Prime TF201. I have to admit, I love everything about the tablet aside from its size. Not so portable but, great aside from the portability.
Since there are little to no tablet optimized apps on Android I end up using the browser on the prime more than anything. Occasionally I will run into a problem where a page will load completely blank white. Usually, when this occurs, I just clear the cache and things get fixed. But, a few days ago, even after clearing the cache, the pages will load completely blank white. I have Chrome on my prime so I can use that at the moment but, it is very unstable compared to the standard browser that comes with the prime. Does anyone know of a fix to this white page loading problem?
Sorry if this has already been mentioned or fixed before. I did a search and didn't find anything on the topic so, I figured that a new topic might be necessary.

I would say just ditch the built in browser. I use two browsers: 1. Chrome as my primary and 2. Dolphin if I come across something where I really need flash. JB does away with the old Browser app and replaces it with Chrome anyway. So why not get it and get used to using it now rather than try to get along with the old browser which is going away anyway.

There is just something about Chrome on the tablets and phones that just don't do it for me. The PC version is fantastic, but, the android version is just bad I think. I have it lock up all of the time. I guess I'll have to use it for the time being I guess.

That's what I currently use and it works great. I will say that I have had it toss out the occasional ANR message and crash, but I find it to be more stable than Chrome.
