Has anyone else noticed that the XDA app sometimes loads a thread immediately and then other times it gets "stuck" where it can take a very long time to load? When it gets stuck, I can click back and then click the same thread again, which sometimes will load it quickly. I notice the exact same behavior in the Amazon app when clicking a product. It happens on both WiFi and LTE and has happened with every version of android so far on the N6.
I use XDA and Amazon all the time so this is a particularly frustrating issue for me.
UPDATE: here is a video demonstrating the problem with the Amazon app:

Which XDA app? Theres like a million of them. One of the tapatalk versions?
I'm using the XDA premium app.
I'm not convinced that it's an issue specific to the app though because I didn't notice this on my Nexus 4 and the exact same issue happens in the Amazon app.

XDA premium is based on Tapatalk and Tapatalk has problems on this forum. Its specific to this forum too, because taptalk works fine on other forums I use. I think the API on XDA for Tapatalk is outdated and since XDA are working on their own new XDA app (XDA One), they're probably not going to be too bothered to fix it.
Not sure about Amazon
Tapatalk has gone into the toilet over the years at this point I would honestly pay to go back to an old version. The iOS version is such a monstrosity and just so horrible its at the point of being unusable. if the thread I want actually comes up and displays I feel like I've won something.

Thanks for the replies. Seems like this might be something a new XDA app could fix.
Here is a quick video I made showing the Amazon issue:
Amazon App getting stuck on Nexus 6: https://youtu.be/bjDayQJVV3g
The first 2 products open fast and then the third gets stuck. I click back and re try 5 times and on the last try, it opens fast like the first 2 did. Anyone else have this issue with Amazon?
Yes you are correct ..Those are the worse two apps to get "stuck".. Only other app is WWE SUPERCARD..Every other app is fine..I do believe it is app issues not phone related.

Hey everyone I'm currently on my gtab on xda site through the browser. I'm having a problem with xda app when I login and try to go into a topic the app force closes but if I don't sign in it lets me into a topic. Any solutions?
Yea, it's a known issue. There hasn't been a fix for it yet.
Well, that's a bummer... I just got my gtab and this was one my first purchased apps. Any news?
OK, because no one wanted to help with this I did some searching and discovered the amazon version is not up to date. There is a newer version on the google market that works as it's suppose to. I say either update the amazon app or take it down! I should get a refund for having to buy it twice...

There are various reports over the last few months that the XDA app (free version) crashes on devices that do not contain an IMEI (i.e. tablets). The 'premium' version of the app does not have this issue. I would suggest someone try the premium app to confirm/deny this issue exists for this device.
and again.. .. and do you have to have the paid version to upload images?

I started with the premium app, then tried the xda HD, still same problem. Only thing left to try is the Tapatalk for another 3.00 $.I would spend another 5.00 bucks if I knew it would be OK, but I have no guaranty that its going to work !

Paid version of Tapatalk is working just fine for me here and on other forums I visit. Granted, I'm using the 7" tablet, but it should be the same I would hope.
I need to Unroot my tab and see if apps work properly without root. At that time I'll figure out if I need to try tapatalk or not.

main thing with tapatalk is money. Anything free whether glitchy and force closing or not is going to be used over something that costs even 99 cents. Take a poll.

Tapatalk has big footprint and it's disinged with slot of extra resources to work with a lot of other forums that I don't use. Not my cup of tea , I rather have a specific app for what I need.
Thank anyway.

**************** issue resolved *****************
Problem solved by unchecking kill app after leaving in development settings ,"developer options" "do not keep activities". I had this checked thinking it would save me battery.
It was this setting that was causing me problems with my xda apps closing.
##### developer options, do not keep activities, box should not be checked. #####

Hello, if you haven't heard, Amazon finally came out with a tablet version of their store app. Unfortunately, nexus 7 is the only compatible device right now.
Could someone throw up the apk on drop box so others, such as those of us with the nexus 10, could download?

Trust me, I have searched for almost an hour. Everyone, including android police where I originally found out about this app, just links to the play store, where it says not compatible. Also, I don't want to download from some sketchy website that will likely include some malware along with my desired apk.
I'm sorry if it came across as rude, it wasn't my intention. I was just surprised that no one had posted it yet.

You're right...
I've been looking and it isn't around anywhere.
I can't even download it from Play or Amazon because it seems to be released only to US residents.

That is fair enough, I haven't looked at the release notes at all, all I know is, the 3 second delay between typing into the search and actually seeing the words appear seems to be no more. is it not possible that they included a bug fix that they have not mentioned in the official release?
I'll report back if it suddenly starts again and I give you permission (nay implore you) to point and laugh at me.
Same here

My delay is gone too. Maybe it didn't have anything to do with it, but it's fixed anyways.
Mine seems more responsive.
Interestingly, upon first voice search after updating, mine FC'd haha.
Definitely more snappy. In fact my whole device is now snappy because previously I was unable even navigate through my Nexus. I wonder if there is any relation.

It isn't the app; I use it almost daily from my One.
What else could it be, tried uninstalling and downloading ago but get the same message.
Everything else is ok, can read posts and subscribe, etc but cannot see a function to respond to or create a thread?

Sorry, no ideas here. However I am using the premium app, not the free one. Don't know if that makes any difference (I don't see why it should).
I get this same error sometimes but not very often. I just clear app cache and data and then it works fine again. Not sure if it'll work for you but it's worth a try

Try tapatalk 4 beta. I'm using it and it's working like a charm. Sometimes I get the security issue but closing it (pressing back when on the main/home screen) and then opening again works.
It's already available in the play store
Remember it's a beta though so it has its tiny issues (smilies don't show up correctly, they all show as the smiley or else in text) but it works and looks and feels very new and stylish
The only other thing I could suggest then would be to mention it in the XDA app thread. You may be able to get a solution in there.
