What ROM are you using? If its not stock, did you try fix permissions? Reinstalling app? Wipe data for the XDA app
I'm using tapatalk (which is XDA app.. but it is not just limited to the XDA forum) and its working fine.

Just downloaded the XDA app and have no problems here.

I cleared the cache and deleted data but crash on search still happens
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Its weird, if I go from top menu,more, search it seems to work but if I search using the search button immediately after app launch, it crashes. Sometimes after searching via app menu, the search key seems to start working properly

i get the crash from this exact sequence: load up an individual thread, leave the app for a bit, or pull down the status bar to do some other task, when you return, then press back, force close. its done this for a few months now, always.
other than that itst great and no issues.
also everyone remember to use the black theme! enormous battery saver, i LOVE forum browsing with the app cause it uses like only 110mA power draw. try the browser, its like 550mA.

Didn't realize there was a black theme, awesome ..
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Yeah, black theme works and looks great on the Nexus S.
Also, make sure you install from the market not titanium back up. Titanium is a GREAT app but after too many reinstalls of any app, the apps tends to bug out.

How do I get the black theme on the XDA app? Also, does anyone know the link to the black Google page? I had it on my Epic last year, but I don't recall what the direct link was. Thx!

It's in the app settings.
I forget the link to the black Google page. But cyanogen browser has an invert colors option so all white becomes black. A must have.

Thank you! Found the app settings, and changed it. And found the Google black, it's bgoog.com. There are a couple of others that offer a Google black search page, but this is the one I was looking for.
Wasn't able to find the Cyanogen browser, I am guessing this is a rooted feature? I am not rooted, and I am still learning about all this. Anyway, thx again!

Well I altered the battery driver for instant readings over the sense resistor, and wrote an app with graphing at 2 second sample rate.
Your best bet would be to use the current widget, but you will only get 1 minute intervals. You'd have to edit driver and compile your own kernel.
I've started looking at the nexus s driver, maybe we can get the same thing going and update the app to support it. Depends if its really worth it for people I guess.
Edit: duh I forgot to say your options stock is just use OS monitor and view the dmesg log, filter for "batt", and you'll at least get rough readings.

using the hardware search button to search forum FC, re-install doesn't solve the issue... any idea? i'm using CM7 RC1

Search (via hard-button) is 100% crash for me.

CoPilot NAV now optimized for the Xoom/my short preview of it

for those looking for a navigation app that doesn't use data, i have been using this app for my unactivated 3g xoom in my car for the past week. It uses only the GPS and its own mapping software. Runs super smooth and accurate with lane assistance during real time traffic. it also has traffic and weather updates. has as just as many options for mapping as those found in portable garmin units.
here's some pics on how I'm using and mounting it:

Also, anyone know of a free GPS solution for the xoom?

Ryan,
Would you recommend this as a way to get urban maps, like of Manhattan, without a data connection?
I don't need traffic info but I do need a searchable map with marked locations and what not...but I can't depend on having WiFi all the time.

I downloaded this after seeing it doesn't require a data connection. I've only used it for a trip to church this morning, but I'm very impressed. Thanks for this amazing find.

i guess it would depend on how good your gps connection is in a sprawling and densely populated area such as the Bronx or Manhattan. The map itself of such areas are pretty extensive and should meet your criteria though. here's a screenshot:

Maps automatically updated from the Play Store today on my S4, it says it is being rolled out slowly so maybe just a select number of downloads at a time while they test it? Not sure.
I like and dislike the new update.
The new UI is pretty smooth and clean.
However they removed the option for zoom buttons. You used to be able to decide if you wanted to display them or not, now there is no option what so ever. However they've added a little help file that shows all the gestures and one i was unaware of (or maybe it is new, probably not) is double tap and hold then drag up to zoom in and drag down to zoom out. Makes up for the lack of buttons I suppose since you can still zoom in/out with one hand/finger.
Another thing I'm a little sour at google for sending the way of the dinosaur is latitude. I always enjoyed stalking my friends, but they've decided to kill latitude altogether. I got an email from google today:
Hello,
Earlier today, we announced that Google Latitude is no longer part of the Google Maps app, and we're retiring Latitude on August 9, 2013.
This means that after August 9, your Latitude friends list will be deleted and you'll lose the ability to share your location with them. There will also be some changes to Location Reporting and Location History, including changes to third-party applications that use Google Latitude. Please see our FAQs for more information.
We understand some of you still want to see your friends and family on a map, which is why we've added location sharing to Google+ for Android (coming soon to iOS).
Thank you for using Google Latitude.
Sincerely,
The Google Latitude Team

So looks like now in order to stalk friends they must use google+ and enable location sharing. Oh well.
Otherwise I am pleased with the changes.

[Q] What Happened to the small app Notes?

I don't have the small app "notes", which was the most useful small app on my Xperia ZR. Anybody have it? I can't find it in the Play store.

Nope, I just looked for it. Not in the phone and not in Google play
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app

What you can do alternatively is use Google Keep and create a small app from one of its widgets. It would work with other third party notes apps as well I guess.
Although it seems like it will switch to the full app as soon as you try to edit or add a note.

I miss this app too... Anyone can port it for Z3C please?

Well if you can find a notes app that has a widget in which you can type directly, then that would work well as a small app.

I installed it and it didn't show in mine, so I deleted it again thinking it was a standard notes app. Playstore don't seem to have any small apps for notes either, although plenty of other types of small apps.

You could look for a notes app that has a widget in which you can enter a note directly. Then you may be able to make a small app from that widget.

[Q] blocking sms and calls nexus 6 (5.1)?

Hi,
I have a nexus 6 with Afirewall blocker installed with lollipo 5.1 .Before the update when i was on 5.01 i used to be able to type in a code to get to the firewall and see my text and calls that were blocked etc. Now with the update if i have a normal sms come through, once i put the code in , it just takes me to the sms screen and not the Afirewall blocker.
Is there another way to block sms and calls on 5.1?

I have always used root call blocker. I am not aware of anything built into the phone

Root level call blocking? let's see:
AdAway - ad blocking I don't want to see ads in my browser or applications
Root file explorer - I want to be able to move any file or add ringtones notifications or anything else I want to the system
Titanium backup - I can lose the phone or get a new one and restore all my applications just as they were running without depending on Google to properly restore them which it does not. It also gives me the ability to freeze any application on my phone.
SD maid - an automatic process to clean out junk files and folders ANYWHERE on my phone
Recently - a program that allows me to keep a limited amount of applications running in the multi task button so when I go there there is not 500 tabs open
GSAM- root level battery monitoring so I can have more drill down on applications running. The base program doesn't need root but it has an add on

As long as you just root you will get OTA but if you change the recovery image then you will not. If you change any system files you will not
If you use his tool make sure to not to check the "flash recovery" box .
Oh and after you take OTA you will have to re root
