Shame the XDA app forces closed on Xoom... does anyone have a workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
this is a known issue and hopefully someone is working on it.
Tapatalk is basically the same app and works fine
i have the same and I paid for the app.......is anybody actively fixing this?
I have been using the XDA app since day 1. The only thing I have found I have to do is exit fully when done. I.e. I hit the back button till the app closes. If I leave it open for any significant time in the background it either gets stuck on the splash or whatever page I was on last. At that stage I force close and reopen it.

for some unknown reason the app works fine on the verizon xoom, but FCs for wifi-only; someone reported the same problem on the wifi-only transformer, so its got something to do with honeycomb without mobile data (some kind of id# or something?)

Wow. Really? So THAT'S why it crashes on tablets? I had always assumed it had something to do with the resolution being much higher than on a phone, but since you say the Verizon XOOM works, that blows that theory out of the water... I am going to see if my superiors have any idea why this is happening or if they can contact Tapatalk to fix the problem.
Fyi this problem does not exist on tapatalk.. has to do with something xda does differently

I have the Verizon xoom as well and I never had a force close. It does act weird sometimes, but it does on my nexus one as well.

Also goes along with what I've heard in the past... From what I've read, Tapatalk's standard client used to have this issue, but then it was fixed. Perhaps the XDA app can be rebased to the newer Tapatalk.
I have had no FC's on my WiFi only Canadian MZ604.
What I do have, though, is a weird scrolling issue on certain threads where the text will copy itself onto every pixel it crosses until I stop scrolling and the screen refreshes.
I did note that it seems to happen mostly with hyperlinked text. Another possibility is text that has had it's color changed. Will have to play around with it some more to confirm this.
i just use the browser now. Its no big deal with the bigger screen.
It would FC on my Nook Color as well, which is wifi only. I was hoping for a better experience once I got my Xoom wifi (I also got the paid app) but it behaves exactly the same: as soon as I log in it FCs.

This happens to me on both xda and tapatalk, I think its a combo of hyperlinks and long texts... weird thing is, it happens in quoted text too, but not in the post that quotes the text

I always got the FC when closing too

I would agree with you, but vBulletin forums (like XDA) are unacceptably laggy in typing posts on the Xoom.
That, and it's good to have options.

yeah i get the FC for tapatalk
Constant force-closes on the XDA app for me - though lately it's been better. Also, it constantly gets stuck while loading - I have to hit the "back" button and tap again, and it'll work.
I find that I get fewer force-closes if I have WiFi on.
I get it in the XDA app also although i doubt this may be it but I've replied to a few posts and when I reply with softkeyboard it seems to send with no issue. If i use the hardwarekeyboard even if i close it then hit submit i seem to still get the FC. Im not sure if thats something to look into cuz it may be the length of the post also. When i have something short and simple i use the softkeyboard and when its long i use the hardware one so maybe happening on longer posts/replies???
Using tapatalk. No fc's but it gets stuck alot.

Anyone having any issues with with their screens sensitivity such as the keyboards typing being very laggy and scrolling being very laggy as well. Tried doing a factory reset and no difference so I'm guessing defective product. Probably going to exchange tomorrow. Anyone else?

I only experienced that so far when typing a response on XDA. Some other forums I tried with the browser work great. Gmail works great. Scrolling is also slower on XDA but fine on other sites. There are other threads on this already.
A calibration.ini text file on root of memory worked for gtabs. Put it in the root directory nothing in it. Just a txt file called calibration.ini reboot the tablet but dont touch the screen during reboot. Try that

same here only lag when typing in forums
Quick update. I had my xoom plugged into the dock which was plugged into my 200w inverter which is pretty beefy and after unplugging the lag ceased. So obviously they dont play well together. And a little fyi for anyone else who might be experiencing similar problems.
I had sensitivity issues while I had their screen protector on. And then again for like 10 minutes after my fiancee spit on it.

Why don't you guys use the offical xda app? I can't get anything to lag on my xoom. I know that it'll lag if you are in the browser. But just download the app and use it as it seems easier to me.

The official XDA app fails to load half of the time and is slow the rest of the time on my XOOM. It used to be the same on my Nexus One, but after putting Gingerbread on last night it flies faster than I could imagine.

I don't use the XDA app because, if I recall correctly, it requires my device's ID. I don't download any application which requests permissions that it doesn't actually need to function.
It also lags horribly when typing comments on Slashdot (worse than on XDA). But here, scrolling lags as well whereas on Slashdot it's only typing.

Yeah, it seems consistent with certain sites. I am sure it is fixable with an update.
I am surprised no one has brought it up yet here. Running great on my evo! Loads everything properly, which the free app waant for me. Loads it a little faster too so far! Hopefully they release more themes. Only negative is it doesn't seem to hide the status bar.

If you use your phone's search button within the App, you can successfully search? I get immediate FC and many have the same problem.
I'm more curious about the other FCs - that others have seen as well - when doing something random like changing a page or viewing an attached image. Seems like it happens most when the app has been open for a while. Can almost expect it at times. Might have to check this premium version out, didn't even know it WAS out! Thanks.

I can't help you with the search though, the rom i use has it disabled apparently.. didn't know that!

I fully agree with you with my HTC Vision running stock froyo.
Search is a 100% FC.
To avoid the other type I have always to get out the topic and exiting XDA App, before minimizing/doing something else.
Is this version solving?
I'll probably buy it just to support xda. However every single time I back out of a topic after I have been out if the app for a few mins or the next time I open it, I always get a force close. Every single time I can replicate it. I have to restart the app so it wont force close
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I cant tell you... i never got these fcs... i must have a magic phone. I am flashing another rom haha. So i will tell you if search causes fc soon.
Edit: the search button does nothing at all now... lol
It's a good looking app... also Ad-free! Only available for a limited time.. so for a dollar, may as well get it while you can.
Paid XDA is still plagued with same issues as free. Back to tapatalk

Same I report all of them too.
I also leave comments on apps that I've tested and failed or has poor implementation on Honeycomb. Hopefully, if devs see enough complaints, they'll put higher priority on updating their apps for Honeycomb.
I am interested to know what programs people are running that crash alot. For me, it was just the xda app and now after the last update I haven't had one with that program. Both my Xoom and my wife's have been running great.
Now just give me flash and I will be stoked

"Yes."
(... IOW, it could be any of 'em lately. I think the underlying HC API might still have bugs in it; I rarely get FCs with my Froyo EVO.)

Facebook, browser although good has CRAZY weird stuff at time (delayed typing, delayd pinch to zoom in/out, soft force closes, I even got flashing web page and previous app) media player with proper coding has some very infrequent flash to home screen then back to movie.
None of this really bother me and I know Facebook isn't properly gingerbreaded, its just good for all of us and google to be informed.

I'm in this state as well; I'm on a Nook Color running CM7, and the XDA app FCs if I look at any article after logging in. If I don't log in, I can view articles all I want.
The FC log entry shows that it's in xda-specific code, not in tapatalk itself.
The xda app seems to crash on a lot of tablet based devices... it did on my Archos and gtab.
Got fed up and paid for tapatalk pro and it works perfectly.

Its not a tab issue, its a HC issue. For whatever reason, the free app isn't compatable with HC, but the paid app seems to be.

No, it's an Android problem. It has the same issue on 2.2 with the Viewsonic GTab and on my Samsung Galaxy S with 2.1. It's been known about for months, but XDA doesn't seem inclined to fix the free app. Go figure.
I only have FCs when I sign in. If I don't sign in no issues at all.
Usually FCs on me when I try to view a thread.
If they have known about this problem and done nothing about it it doesn't exactly inspire confidence in paying for the app.
In addition... This is a developers site and they cannot develop a stable app? That doesn't reflect well either.
I agree. I had this FC issue with my elocity A7, besides my A500. I purchased the premium and have not had this problem. I can even send reply, could not do that before with the free apk.
