Previously I discovered a workaround where when you browse as a guest and go back to your account, the bug will stop for some time.</p> <p>I decided to switch to a guest and back to my account too fast and, lo-and-behold, black screen.</p> <p>I went to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> See all apps -> Slide -> Additional settings in the app, and now I see the settings. From here we can tap on About and /r/slideforreddit and we are now on the Slide subreddit.</p> <p>Here I just used the search to search for the subreddit I wanted to go to and things worked for the most part. For an actual fix I opened <code>/data/data/me.ccrama.redditslide/shared_prefs/appRestart.xml</code>, and found this:</p> <pre><code><boolean name="loggedin" value="true" /> <string name="name">LOGGEDOUT</string></code></pre> <p>Ah yes, being logged in and logged out at the same time. I just changed <code>LOGGEDOUT</code> to my username and now slide works again (but I switched to guest and back to my account SLOWLY to try to eliminate any configuration errors for now)</p> </div> </body> </html>
