[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] daveybops:
Similar probs, using Dropsync Free

I'm experiencing the same problem with my NST. I even contacted the software's author. He looked at the log and advised that the problem was with dropped connection. Given that the problem exists on all three connections I have tried (work, home and using my phone as WiFi relay), I was inclined to think that the problem lay with the device's wifi, maybe dropping packets and making dropsync think that there's no connection. Does anyone know how to do a ping from this device?

Since NST's in the UK were on an amazing special offer of £30 (around $48), I bought a spare, and I have the same issues on that!

Someone here suggested uninstalling, clearing the app's data and reinstalling -- what data do you suggest I remove? I use Relaunch as a file browser, have searched for anything with dropsync. It came up with two files (I forget the locations) and one of them, was the log file that is only generated if selected in the app's menu...

Will report back if un-re works.

Uninstall reinstall, no different.

Changed folders I was syncing to include only two new files, to a new location on the Nook. Attempted to sync the approx 2MB. Synced fine!! Changed settings back to the folders I was trying to sync, a total of 471 files in 170 folders. Ran for 93 seconds while it analysed I estimate about 80% of my folders, then threw the towel in without getting to the one new file I wanted it to sync.

Conclusion -- the device's WiFi is a bit intermittent or the software is flakey on this device (suspect the latter).

Might invite the author to check this post.

Pertinent part of the log file (I suspect)
