Me too. Either of you guys rooted? I used the initial method, using MI1... I don't remember it happening before. I'm downloading MI9 now to see if it was fixed.
Also, how is your GPS navigation? Mine's just awful. Jumping around all over the place. There's a couple of threads for that already, and I don't want to hijack the thead. Just wondering if the two could be related?

I'm rooted mi1 --> mi9 rdlvega

My gps is fine on locking but the compass is seriously off and I need to calibrate it every time I reboot even then it's not as accurate as my s3 I'm rooted mi9 this issue occurred even without root

Ok. MI9 fixed my GPS issues. Night and day. Google navigation was almost unusable. Always jumping to different streets, slow refresh rate, etc. My compass performance is also MUCH better. But still has a few issues. I'm using the smart compass app from the store. Upon reboot, it typically measures magnetic field strength at ~230uT (red text). At this point the reading is just garbage. Jumps all over the place. After a few minutes/seconds (might just be motion recalibrating compass), the reading jumps back down to ~40 uT (green text). At this point, it's actually usable, although sometimes off by as much as 20-30 degrees.

You guys using s view covers?

I thought it was just mine. Compass/accelerometer is a bit jumpy too. I notice it most in Sky Map+.

I had same issue naked with field compass pro but I read on another thread that it was specifically cause of s view cover.

Kept telling me to recalibrate but it would not calibrate no matter how many figure 8s I made. Lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium HD app

The Compass issues have nothing to do with S-Cover. I had them, too, when I first bought the phone. There were reports of this problem with the S4, too, IIRC. You have to calibrate your sensors using a program like GPS Status. It's a sightly more involved process than just doing the figure 8 thing -- but not much.

I'll give it a try now.

[Q] tapatalk/xda premium apps

Is there a thread for these two apps? Ever since they released the new UI for these 2 apps I've had nothing but force close issues on startup. It never fails. It will open and look fine but as soon as I open a thread or start to scroll down it force closes. But the strange part is I can reopen the app immediately and it works fine. It does not matter which device I use. For awhile I thought it was because I was rooted but now I have an HTC one still haven't rooted or modified it in any way and still having the exact same issue. I have been reporting this crash since the day the update came out. I'm losing more and more respect with tapatalk with each update.
If this will not be fixed any time soon what are your opinions on a good alternative app?

I use both apps and dont have that problem.
I imagine you tried to uninstall both and wipe and re install.
Yea.. I have 3 phones and it happens on all three devices. Optimus G, HTC one, and galaxy s4.

Had that issue for a while, certain threads would kill the app every time. Haven't noticed it in a while though. I do have issues with trying to access the sprint one main thread through the favorites screen, where it just goes blank. No other major issues though. XDA premium, btw.
Sent from my beige box using xda premium
Are all these threads in sprint htc one?
Thats the only section im in right now and I just have never had an issue
For me it's the default screen. The notifications screen. It will display that screen but as soon as I tap an article (which yea it happens to be most sprint HTC one threads the app will shut down but I can immediately reopen the app and use every feature without an issue. But as soon as I turn my screen off or use another app or wait a bit before using xda premium or tapatalk it does it again..

It got worse with the 4.3 update. I'm having to use the old free version of the xda app.. from the looks of it after reading around a lot of other people are having the same issue. Is there a thread we can report these issues to? I've been reporting on every crash since I updated the app. With this "crashes upon first startup ###" the numbers are the amount of times I've reported the same crash. I'm at 167.

If you have more than one notification, swipe away the top one. The rest teleport to the top with no animation. That alone has me back on 4.1.2

not sure if its related but ever since i updated all my contact photos in the text message app that were linked to my friends facebook pics are all now blank and i cant get them to come back and stay, i went into the facebook app and "sync with existing contacts" and i went into settings and synced facebook contacts in there also
I don't know ifthis is a bug, but what ifs the purpose of the day dream setting. My phone didn't fully charge last night, probably because the screen kept coming on. Other than that I don't really notice anything that is greatly different. I am however hoping that the no SIM card issues are fixed.

If you're in the Twitter beta, you can't get Twitter to show up in blinkfeed. Best way around it is uninstall all the updates, link your account in blinkfeed and then update to the beta again.

I asked in another thread, but it might get more answers here. On 4.3, I've had the stock music app reset the volume to all the way down/off twice. I'm using google Play music to see if I can get the same issue on that as well. I'm curious as to if anyone else has seen this particular issue.

That's not the ROM problem. That is your phone/sim issue. I believe most people have resolved it by taking out the sim, cleaning it, blowing out the contacts, and re-seating.
The firmware seems to cause a swap for those who did and did not have the purple camera issue. I didn't before, have it now. Boss had it before, doesn't now.

The option to toggle whether open wifi connections are available is not working it is permanently turned on even after factory reset. Also roaming guards cannot be toggled off and alot of apps force close after closing them but that one could be they are not updated for 4.3 yet.

Issues with the XDA app

This morning, my XDA app is acting crazy. When I click on a post, it gives me the options for the post before it, so if I click on my own post to edit it, it gives me the options for the post before mine. Is this happening to anyone else?

Not having that issue. But responding to xda notifications causes the app to FC. Root de la Vega rooted my N3 if that makes any difference. Try re-installing the app.

I'm using the paid version. No problems other than what I posted above. Maybe its not your device that's the problem. Maybe its the xda servers. I'm just guessing.

It's been happening to me as well. And no I don't want to use Tapatalk.
I've noticed that every time something goes wrong the first suggestion is to try something else instead of solving the actual problem. With my video stuttering issues someone suggested to stream videos at 480p instead of 720 or 1080. Yea that's why I got a 700 dollar phone for so I can stream at quality that's been around since 1997.
Back on topic, I've noticed that if you click next to the name of the op of the post you want to quote or reply to it picks the correct one as opposed to the one above it. Still, it's an issue that needs to be resolved.
I'm not bragging, just informing. I am not having any selection problem with this app. I have tried using the spen and my finger, touching anywhere in a post. I even tried along the border between posts and it selected the correct post every time.
I'm sorry you guys are havjng this irritating problem. Does it happen anywhere else? N1 had a screen sensitivity problem with spen that required an outside app to recalibrate the screentouch.

Temp fix: if you tap on the post itself will select the post above making difficult to quote the last post. Now, look at the post and you'll see on the left the user name and on the right the time the post was posted. If you tap on the time will select it right and not the one above it
Edit: just like Techweed said, sorry didn't read your post, I did this couple days ago already.

App FC's

I have rooted my phone and I noticed that a lot of times when I exit an app I get a message saying it fc'd. Other times I can launch an app and it fc's but if I launch it again it runs fine. I don't know what caused this but I was wondering if maybe it would resolve the issue if I use rom toolbox pro and fix permissions. Any thoughts on this?

The last time I went to XDA through an app I used Tapatalk instead of XDA because I already use Tapatalk for all the other forums. I did buy the XDA app to support XDA, I just don't like keeping so many different apps all for forums. I found that the Tapatalk app doesn't crash when I browse on it, if you wanted to try that?
i've noticed that it crashes when you are giving to many inputs i.e. tapping too much. If you avoid this, the app works well.
There is also an issue of tap detection. when i try to reply to someone i have to tap on the post below the one desired. :/ but it doesnt crash the app... so thats a plus right?

Appreciate it. Yeah, I've never quite gotten used to Facebook, still keep forums I've been on for years.... Tapatalk is a really nice way to organize them all. The only thing that drives me nuts is that when you go to download a file off of a forum it opens a browser which kind of disrupts the flow, but I think XDA app did the same thing. That would be a tremendously useful thing for the XDA app to do is manage XDA downloads, but for all I know it does that now, I haven't used the XDA app in awhile. These ATT ROMs are around a gig sometime... Hell to download on a mobile phone just because so many things seem to be able to break the download. And the download managers seem to hiccup sometimes with the site that are primarily used for hosting, don't know why.
I bought the xda premium app a couple years ago to show my support. But it does suck on this phone. Doesn't show pictures corectly. The search function is not very helpful. When I open it if it's been in the the background for a while it won't connect to the server to refresh. I have to close it and open it again. Also when leaving the app the animation lags really bad. I always thought it ironic that the XDA app was so buggy lol
**side note- I don't know the first thing about making apps or how hard they are to debug and make run smoothly on all devices. So I'm not hating. Just throwing it out there...
