XDA App FC's [Wifi Xoom]

Like the title says XDA app force closes when trying to create a new post every time. It also force closes when I try to hit the back button to exit. When I go back into the app it loses my login settings.
Have tried a factory restore and uninstalling/reinstalling the app. No luck. Seen a few more force closes in other apps too. Should I exchange this thing or what?

Its not the zoom fool. Same thing.happens on my epic. Im constantly deleting and reinstalling xda app. Somethings horridly wrong with it lol

I assumed it worked somewhat. Since people are posting for the app with their Xoom. I will give it a few days and see.

Looks like original tapatalk works for those that are having the same problem.

I had the same exact problem with the xda premium app on the xoom; also i sometimes got FC problems on my galaxy tab with the same app but most of the time it worked normally on the tab. Now it consistently FC on the same doing the same actions as in your situation.

It has the same problem on the Gtablet. You know though, if you have 10 inches of viewing space just make a bookmark in your browser and put a link on your desktop.

Bookmarks are great and all but xda's site is slow in the browser.

Same problem on my Nexus One, Nexus S, and my xoom.

Lol... the app designed for one of the largest android communities on the planet is freakin broken? I would chalk that up as extremely embarrassing.

Use Tap Talk Pro, it is basically the same thing. And works for many other forums too.

No problem on my nexus S ....
Is there any plan for Honeycomb optimized XDA App?
With thread list in the left and content in the right.
That would be awesome

XDA (non premium) app FC's on my new Wifi Xoom. But it works fine on my Dinc, fwiw. Hopefully someone in XDA Developers can find a solution. I also don't understand why the XDA web site is so slow on the Xoom browser. Much slower to load than every other website that I regularly visit. Don't see this on my Win7 PC using Chrome.

I agree and has been the case since I got my Xoom (slow in browser and slow to type).

Same problems with my MZ604 as well. I can reproduce a crash every time by logging in, click a forum, then click an individual post, kaboom. Even if I click into a few different forums first, once I hit a post, FC.

I've been able to view posts before, but once I clicked on a post with an attachment it no longer worked until a reinstall.

I also get this weird problem with xda app on the xoom where the op kind of blurs and slows everything down when scrolling, even if its quoted. I've been using tapatalk on the xoom instead

Live TV Timewarner Cable ICS only

Credit for the APK goes to B00sted
In the android market (google play) there is a timewarner cable app that lets you watch live tv on your android device, but only if you have an ICS device and you are not rooted. YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE A TIMEWARNER CABLE INTERNET AND TELEVISION SUBSCRIBER. Well i found in the galaxy nexus forums someone changed the APK around to allow rooted devices. So now on my kindle fire I am watching live tv. FYI I am usuing GedeRom 3/15.
Link for the APK
http://www.mediafire.com/?pbtif3rpyuxpzyz
Also just to note, the original APK is free.
Credit for the APK and following info goes to B00sted and others on the thread.

I tested my AT&T Uverse app earlier today and it works as well on my KF as it does on my GNex. Pretty cool.

I don't know how lucky, it seems like half the time it's kinda laggy, could be a bandwidth problem on my part

When trying to launch I keep getting:
"We aplogize we're unable to fulfill your request at this time. Please try again later if the problem persists... etc"
Anyone else getting this right now?

Just tested mine and it worked fine. What steps did you use to set it up and sign in
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using XDA Premium HD app

I just downloaded it and ran it and never had the option to sign in. It stays at the Time Warner screen for a while then gives me the error. I'm running gedeRom as well... Weird

I'm assuming you downloaded it from the link I provided

Yea and from the other thread. very strange. I'M wondering if it's because the apartment I'm in doesn't currently have a cable package.

Yes I believe you have to have both a timewarner cable and internet subscription

It works but I noticed that you are using the phone .apk. I tried the tablet version on the original OP but it wouldn't work. Any idea why?
Oh and thanks for this, I've been waiting a long time for this feature.

Yeah I tried the tablet one too and I couldn't get it to work, not really sure why it didn't

Best facebook app for our tf101

Trying to figure out which one you guys feel is the best for our tf101. What do you think?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

I use friendcaster. It might not be perfect but this is much better than the official Facebook application. The official is very slow and is pretty useless in low network connectivity condition.

Since all of the browsers and apps are terribly glitchy for me, the best solution is using Splashtop HD to remote desktop my computer and view from there... Rather roundabout but it's fast and Doesn't Glitch!

I think there are three real tablet Facebook apps:
FaceDroid (paid app)
Friend Me
Friendcaster.
I'd say Friendcaster is the best one, gives you a very nice Facebook experience with all needed features and a nice UI, plus good widgets.

Definitely not the Facebook app! Too clunky

how is that facedroid app? I heard its pretty good as well. Anyone have any experience with it?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

I like facedroid,but I think that fbm is better . But with facedroid if you have a problem or find a bug and report it to the developer, he will E-mail you back within a couple of hours on how to fix your problem or within a week or so you will see an update that fixes that bug.So the great support is worth the money alone.But it does show those pesky game updates in the feed like anyone needs to see that jeff married his cousin on farm ville.Without the games in the feed it would be the best fb app in my opinion.

hmmm interesting. What is fbm btw? Anyone else give a +1 to facedroid? Gideo how is the UI compared to friendcaster?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

I've never tried friendcaster,but the UI is pretty clean,and fbm has a nearly identical look to the official fb app with the ability to upload pics and post YouTube links and has notification,but it does not crash,and when you open it it just works....best part is when you turn it off it is off and does not use 30 to 50mb of ram all the time like official fb app.

Use the default facebook app or facebook website if you want to see all your friend's posts.
Use third-party apps if you don't mind missing posts, but like the customization.
Remember, third party apps can be blocked by your friends so they not only see your posts, but you don't see theirs either.
Unfortunately, the stock Facebook app is a memory hog, but it works.

Not only is it a memory hog but it kills sleep eating up your battery. So get your friends to allow 3rd party apps to see their posts.

I've been looking for one too that works 100%, I love the look of Friendcaster Pro and have been using it for 6+ months but it screws up a lot and either doesn't post my comments/status updates or when I try and load something it will be like "Friendcaster received an invalid response from Facebook". The notification Window annoys me on the official app because it's so tiny and only shows about three or four things, not to mention I still can't figure out how to share things from it. Is it even possible to do so?
I'll give Facedroid a try and see how it is.

Friendcaster is good.
Using Firefox beta (v14) with agent set as Desktop/ipad is also good enough. (Desktop-like interface)

Does drop box work on the N7?

Whenever I open dropbox, get "dropbox has stopped working" is it just me, or does it just not work?

Works for me, but whenever I get an app that does that I clear the cache and data then reboot and log in again. So far that has cleared up any issue with an app that is compatible with any of my devices.

Been working fine for me since day one. Have you tried re-installing?

Perfectly okay with me. I can even stream movies from my Drop Box without cluttering with my clearwire 1.5 Mbps wifi !

Clear app data and cache. Uninstall then reinstall.

Tried all of the above and still doesn't work, I'm using the tablet UI if that has anything to do with it, but I doubt it would.

Did you tweak the dpi? Does any other cloud service do the same? Try minus, cubby, skydrive, etc...
But saying that, dropbox has been working since day 1 for me as well.

That's why it does not work. Go back to the standard dpi and get it setup. I think you can then change dpi and it will work.

I used the True Tablet Ui Patch (Link) And completely forgot to make a backup beforehand, Not sure if I can just change the DPI back again, But I'll check.

News and Weather Genie not stock ?

My Brother just picked up the Nexus 7 with 4G. He's an iPhone guy switching over slowly.
Anyways, he asked me for some good Widgets. I said an Android classic is the "News and Weather" genie widget. He said that's not on this tablet. I told him to look under apps, for News and Weather, and sane under the Widget tab. He said nope, not there.
Did Google remove that classic Widget ?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Anyone ?
I don't own the Nexus 7 myself. Just a Galaxy Nexus, and a Note 2 running CM10.1 and the "News and Weather" genie widget is standard.
Is it not installed on the Nexus 7 ?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

Nope not installed on the nexus 7. I read somewhere on here Google does not support it any more or something like that?
I've tried to side load the apk file to my n7 many times with no success.
However I am running clean ROM inheritance 3.2 and it comes with the ROM.
I am new to all this stuff. This is what I don't understand, the app is listed as transperent. It does not show up in titanium backup and I can't find it with root explorer.
I have no idea what is going on with this app.
I hope someone can clear this up
