Not having the sync error after the update. I'm so impressed with the application and the support. Keep it up droidlab. Thanks a bunch, worth every penny.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
hi reider,

Glad to know that you are happy with the app.

You are welcome!

Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Any plans for the above?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I want to add a news ticker widget in the next release or one after that but not full screen though. However, I will take note of this and will consider in future if it has more demand.

Thanks for reminding me. :)
[Android Apps and Games] knurdle:
Agreed, sync problem went away after this last update. The app has been awesome. It's the only app I use on a daily basis.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks knurdle, for the confirmation and the complements :)
[Android Apps and Games] Deaks2:
I have been testing all day and can confirm that when reading from the Subscription list I'll mark an entire folder as read and it will either work properly, or I'll have all or some items left as unread.

I try to force a sync with the refresh button, but it has no effect. The only solution is to close the app and try again, and then it always works properly.

I'll try clearing app data to see if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for doing more tests and reporting back. Please monitor the internet connectivity as well when you do your tests. I will do some more tests in this area.

I suggest you to do a clean install before trying again.
[Android Apps and Games] pdane:
Consider this as one more vote in support of a scrolling full screen widget.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Vote registered :)

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
suggestions wanted

I want to add "mark previous as read" functionality (similar to the official reader) to my app. But I don't want to do the same way, as it will affect the ad display of the free version.

Below are 2 standard options;

- long press menu on each row to mark all articles above as read

- normal menu to mark already scrolled articles as read

Can you suggest if you think of a better way?
[Android Apps and Games] no_one_can:
propose one option

- use the old mark as read button to long pressto choose mark previous scolled as read, normal press still mark all as read (or configurable) :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the reply no_one_can.

I will see what other users want to say as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Deaks2:
I cleared app data after my last post here and since then I have had no sync issues. Once again, nice app.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the update Deaks2.

Glad to see that your problem has gone.
[Android Apps and Games] abqslim:
I've been having some sync issues, too, lately. I cleared app data and seems to help a bit. Mostly notice it on some feeds more than others. If it keeps doing it I'll try a clean install. I don't know if it's because I also have Feedr installed (though I have preference in that app set to not sync with google reader...)

Best wishes and keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] MisterDams:
I'd love a "Mark previous as read" feature like official Google app !

- Short press : Mark previous as read

- Long press : Mark all as read
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Using 2 readers to sync with Google at the same time may result in out of sync items in either reader. Since the other reader does not sync with Google, it should not be an issue. Can you check whether the sync issue happens after any network issues (internet connectivity)?

Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Next version will have a feature similar to the official google reader app, but it will not be an exact copy. :)
[Android Apps and Games] abqslim:
Don't believe I'm having any connectivity issues, but I'll keep an eye on it. Overall seems to be working very well again. Only problem is growing addiction to RSS feeds, haha.
[Android Apps and Games] Deaks2:
Spoke too soon. Sync issues kept cropping up with cleared app data. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still does it.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks. Let me know how it goes.

rss addiction seems to be a common problem :D
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I want your to help in identifying problem.

Can you check whether you have the sync issue in WiFi and/or 3G? Is this happening always or occasionally?

Very important, are you using any other Google Reader app which syncs in the background?

It will be great if let me have some clues (I know it's hard) of how I can reproduce the problem.

Thanks for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] Deaks2:
I only use your app on wifi (nook color). The issue seems to be random. Sometimes the issue can show up after reading 100 articles, other times after only 5.

I don't have the official Google Reader app on my nook, and i am quite sure that the web app is not open on my PC when the issue occurs.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for the details Deaks2. I will have a look at this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Pickx:
I just wanted to say that, having used many many feed readers on many different mobile OS over the years, this one is one of my favorites. It's so fast and does not hammer my data connection, and the integration with Google Mobilize is top-notch.

A simple feature that I would enjoy is being able to change from light to dark theme (or vice-versa) by invoking menu from any screen. It is a pain having to go to the settings screen to change it (and the settings are only accessible by pressing menu on D7's main screen from some reason)

Also another nice option would be selecting which feed list (Reading List, Subscriptions etc.) is shown on default when the app is launched, which would save me a lot of time.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Good to know my app is one of your favorites.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have added your 2 feature requests to my to-do list and I will include them in a future release.
[Android Apps and Games] montix:
Hi:

First i want to say that the app is GREAT and it's a fact that i've just purchased five minutes ago after i use the free version for months ;)

But i get a problem since the begining:when i just try download a podcast for Listen Suscriptions,those downloads always keep on queued(in notification bar)but it never ends...

What's could be the poblem?I must say that i'm trying do this on wifi network...
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for your support in purchasing the app!

There will be only one active download (with status "download in progress"), and rest of the podcasts ("queued for download") are put in the queue.

When a download fails, you can resume it from where it was left before (depends on the server; some don't support resume) using the menu in offline article view.

If there are issues with any of the downloads (being in the queue for long), just cancel and start again (using menu).
[Android Apps and Games] SHADOW-XIII:
Bit annoying is that it looses synchronization while thinking it still is synchronized (it loads new data but information about articles are not being marked as read)

another problem is with refreshing information after marking articles as read (either by mark all as read or by reading it), when I go back to subscription list (list of all my rss'es) sometimes is starts refreshing as soon as I get back from article to subscription list and sometimes it takes longer, the biggest problem is that once is is refreshing that list I cannot do anything (go into another subscription to read, I have to wait till it refresh the whole list to be able to enter any again)
[Android Apps and Games] pgonza02:
Issue Found

I have a D7 unread count widget that I use to access the app, so:

1. Tap widget, showing X unread.

2. Tap Subscriptions

3. Read articles

4. From Subscriptions page hit the hardware Home key

5. Count on widget is not updated.

If however, I go back to the application's main screen before hitting the home key, the count is updated. It also updates in the Reading list icon, so I imagine whatever code does it, does both.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I don't understand what you meant about loading new articles and not able to mark them as read. Can you explain this in more detail?

Yes, I will fix this in the next version.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
You are right. I did this on purpose; I didn't want the app to chew more battery power by updating the widget while the user is actually not in the home screen.

I will change to the logic in the next version, so that the widget will only be updated when the user leaves the app.

Thanks for your support
[Android Apps and Games] pgonza02:
No problem, glad to help.
[Android Apps and Games] abqslim:
Hello,

Just a note that for some reason the feed for "android app review source" doesn't seem to work on this app though it opens fine in other readers like feedr. I usually get a connection timeout when trying to open ...
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
Thanks for reporting abqslim.

It's a bug; I will fix it soon.
[Android Apps and Games] abqslim:
Sounds good :-)

Thanks for making this such a great app!

google sign in not working

i use this reader a lot and like it very much. However, got myself a new phone today (samsung galaxy s2) and everything is working except d7. It keeps signing in to my google account but without being able to actually sign in....never had this on my previous phone. ANyone a suggestion to solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
I received the same comment from more SGS2 users. But I couldn't find the cause for this as this only occurs in SGS2 and I don't have that device to test.

Will you be able to get me a logcat output if I give you a debug version of the app? If so, PM me your gmail id (the one you use for android market), I will send you the debug version.
[Android Apps and Games] droidlab7:
v1.7.3 change log

Version 1.7.3 has been released with some nice features. I have got a lot of things to do in coming days and this release is to get things moving.

I hope you will enjoy the new features and the bug fixes.

change log:

Mark above as read action in article list (long press menu)

One-click theme change from home screen

Fixed widget update bug

Subscriptions view - possible to do other actions while another operation in progress

Mobilized view - back/forward menu actions to browse between link clicks

Minor UI tweaks

Other bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Bodak:
I absolutely love this app. Thank you!

I do have two issues. I haven't updated to 1.7.3 yet, so they may be included in there.

1) If I tap a post to open it in my web browser, when I use the back button to return to D7 Reader, it returns me to the main screen. I would prefer to be returned to the point I left. This isn't too big a deal if I just want to continue reading posts, but it makes it difficult to return to that specific post if I want to star it or mark it unread to look at again later.

2) I have the app on my Archos 70 tablet and my HTC Desire Z. If I scroll down in a post, then use the gesture to go to the next post, on my Archos the screen scrolls back to the top of the next post, but on my Desire Z the scroll position is maintained on the new post, and I have to scroll up to the top.
[Android Apps and Games] Deaks2:
I don't have this issue in 1.7.2 or 1.7.3.
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Bodak:
In fact, it's only happening on my Archos 70, not on my phone... makes me wonder if the app is simply being closed due to lack of memory.

With that in mind, one more request: I keep my list sorted oldest first so I can read sequentially. It would be nice if the "Read items" screen sorted newest first, like it does in the Google Reader web client (regardless of how your other articles sort). It could be an option, but I suspect most people would prefer "Read items" to start wth the last thing you read and work back from there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wydra91:
Okay, so I'm aware that the HTC Inspire 4G is basically a Desire HD but for the Americas, I'm just wondering, should my device be registering as a Desire HD model?

Kinda cheap on HTC's part, not even updating the Model ID, if you ask me....

BTW it was like that before I even rooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Yes, this is normal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wydra91:
awesome! thanks fore the quick answer.

Didn't you already make a thread regarding SGS Tools that clearly fell on deaf ears? Don't make a second one.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruth93:
I have a captivate (UCJH7)...

i flashed a few different roms then i flashed back to stock using 'I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe'.. then it stopped going into download/recovery.Then i udated to 2.2 using kies. Then i wanted to flash cognition so i used adb to went to download mode. i flashed the speedmod kernel using odin and it rebooted and then "PHONE ! COMPUTER" symbol..

I cannot boot..

All i see is the phone ! comp symbol

I used 3 button combo,

tried removing everyting and holdin vol up+down then putting the battery

Odin doesnt recognize the phone and adb doesnt list any connected device

DOES THIS MEAN ITS OVER.. is it permanant brick?

or is there anything i can do???

everything i did uptill now was with the forums help so maybe somone has a solution

Thanx in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedgehogmd:
Remove Battery insert usb cable hold vol up/down power put in batt release power button only keep holding vol up/down should go right in to download mode. I've done this many a time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modest_mandroid:
o/` Search the forums, buy a jig, doo-dah doo-dah,

People create threads about this exact problem, all the live long day o/`
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
if you get it up and going with the above meathod (should work) then definately use the 3-button fix next time. only once though because flashing bootloaders can be dangerous. once the recovery mode is working with button combo then flash speedmod (as long as the rom you want is on the sd card) or flash 2.2 then speedmod so the phone will be bootable.

also i'd redownload speedmod if you want to start over. could have been a bad download. also could have been a windows problem or a bad cable. hope you get it working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruth93:

I ll try the jig but i dont want to cut the original usb that came with my capptivate so will se what i can get
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruth93:
Pheww! I was out of hopes and was definitely going to buy the jig but just to see what happens if I pressed and hold the 3 buttons I long pressed them and the symbol disappeared and then came back then disappeared again then i left the buttons cuz I thought ill definitely need a jig so I let the buttons go and BAM! I was in download mode and I flashed serendipity :D

Thanx for all the quick replies...

I am on ROM number 3 and have yet to run into any problems, but will be trading an extended life i9000 battery to a friend who has 2 jigs.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 2manchu7:
Hello! I used to use iPhone3gs and loved it. Now I moved to another country (South Korea) and I am getting a new phone. My use of iphone3gs was quite limited:

1. Wikipedia offline

2. Google map (I often get lost.)

3. Dictionaries (I need good dictionaries of Japanese, English, French, Spanish and Korean)

4. Sync with Google mail, contacts, and calendar

5. Music (I listen 4~6 hours a day including podcasts and video watching), Podcast, and some videos (iTunes U was fantastic)

Now, I have two choices: X10 mini pro or Motorola Milestone. They cost the same, but Milestone comes with 16GB micro SD and a bluetooth headset.

But I love small and light form factor of X10 mini pro, and with smaller screen (resolution), I think X10 mini pro will run much snappier. I have not seen or used either mother, though.

I learned xda-developers site from my brother, and it's lovely and impressive! Maybe you cannot choose which to buy but I am sure you could give me some advice if X10 mini pro will do the job for my main usage! :D:D:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harr1994:
Hi,

In terms of perfomance both phones are equally well but since u come from iphone so milestone would be better suited to u since it has a better screen than mini pro,moreover lots of devs have already customized the milestone, while for us it might just be the beginning of fully loaded roms....besides why dont u consider DesireZ or xperia pro as an option since they are new and somewhat more powerful and at this moment, milestone or mini pro are both getting outdated as I myself am gonna switch to sgs 2 or optimus 3d

All the best for ur new phone
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harr1994:
Sorry for incomplete post,

1) If u use wikipedia apps then for reading, mini pro screen is not too well suited although not too terrible but its just ok. And reading pdf files might be a problm.

2) If u use maps too much then take another phone, mini pro is good for socializing but its battery drains a lot quicker when using data....

3,4,5 ) All these factors are easily met by mini pro.

If u have a well cashed wallet, then choose a better phone as android industry is evolving quickly and mini pro might suffer so its not the best bet to get a mini pro(not future-proof atleast)...but if u have are short on cash then blindly pick up a mini pro as it is every mans phone..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 2manchu7:
Thank you! I thought X10 mini pro might be a better choice because it probably be much faster due to its smaller resolution but after I considered your advice, I think Milestone may be the better choice for my use.

The reason why I don't go for the latest phone is because older phones like Milestone and X10 mini pro offer much better contract that they are practically free and they let you choose any kind of plan. I just can't be chained! That's why ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harr1994:
But is there contract system in south korea???? Gosh I didnt know that,ur quite lucky I would presume :o

All the best then :-P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 2manchu7:
Yeah, people usually buy latest smartphones with 24 months contract. If you want a real good one, flagship models, they may force you to use an expensive data + call contract for several months. Of course, if you cancel the contract before 24 months, you should pay quite a fortune.

This may sound normal to some people, but I really don't want this kind of contract. 2 years with a same phone seems a prison to me. lol That was why I had to chose between Milestone and X10 mini pro since they offer a contract with only 12 months and you can chose any type of plan. These phones are also free, so if you cancel it before 12 months you just have to pay a commission, not the price of the phone. The problem is this kind of information is always internet only. Normal? people go to a shop to buy a smartphone and they pay a lot more! (and be happy anyway) :eek:

iPhone changed the ecosystem of mobile communication and this is the first time I try android. I am pretty sure I will be satisfied with xda-developers forum!! :D I hope that explanation of Korean cell phone contract system amused you a bit. ;)

I ordered Milestone and am waiting now!! (It's Sunday night here) :D:D:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] harr1994:
Its quite amusing :-) btw there are a lot of quality roms for milestone with iphone killing features.......hope u'll get an experience....enjoy ur new toy. ;-)
