   Hi, this recently I have been having this problem with my HTC Desire. Previously, I had accessed this app for many times and it worked really well that time. Now it is giving me this issue which I can't resolved at all and I cannot find the solution in this forum as well. Please help.. :(

   Check this out: http://www.charleslau.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd

   Your blog seems to output a bunch of whitespace before output as well, try disabling your plugins and try again.

   After disabling all the plugins, it actually removes a few whitespaces away... But there are still 28 whitespaces over there... I am not sure if it is due to the upgrade of WordPress...

   I have just tried to overwrite the entire wordpress files with fresh installation files, and then disable all plugins, and to change to WordPress default (Michael Heilemann)... There is still 2 whitespace lines... Looks like the entire wordpress is somehow not working anymore

   I have just reinstalled the theme from scratch as well... Now only left with 11 lines... somewhere is just not removing those lines away... What could have caused those lines?

    For your info only...

    Though my rsd is still containing 11 lines above (after removing all the lines myself), the wordpress for android has managed to connect... and it also resolved my rss feed which i didn't realise it is not working too...

    According to the article, those extra lines (not referring to the 11 lines that are still there, I am referring to the 12th line and more) have been left by the wordpress, plugins and themes.. And I have checked that the wordpress itself also contains the white lines... you guys might want to take a look into this part...

    yes, the app does it's best to strip whitespace but in your case I think it was too many lines.
