data of the app - /data/data/pl.aqurat.automapa
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
the apks will install fine. You don't need any other authorisation file for that.

All the apk for the apps currently installed on your phone will be in (system root)/data/app

Copy all the apk files in that location to a safe place on your phone. Then transfer them to the other phone. Install them as normal apk. They will all install fine.

Problem solved.

Hi, my girlfriend have an HTC sensation, running stock rom, no root, not unlocked boot loader.

But the battery suddenly drain? I can not see why. The strange thing is that the battery gets even worse, when we travel out of the country? I have changed the battery, but that didn't help much. Do anyone experienced this issue? Or have a fix. It's running 4.0.x firmware
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
maybe some apps that are running in the background causes that.if some apps are unnecessary uninstall them(if you want:p)

also if the brightness is too high try to lower it
[HTC Sensation] bstylz911:
Also try turning off data when not in use
[HTC Sensation] Glennfoot:
I've noticed poor or no gsm signal destroys the battery life
[HTC Sensation] brushan:
I've checked if there is any running apps, and we live in good gsm areas. She is not a heavy data user, and turn it off when she is not using it. The strange thing is that, when we go to sleep, she can have 80%, but in the morning it's dead. She don't wanna root, so I can not install juice defender.

any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
how about the auto sync function? are there any apps that are syncing? (facebook, google, mail, htc sense, etc.) are you using a stock HTC battery or an aftermarket? you sure there arent any rogue apps running in the background? lol sorry for all the questions, just tryin to help out
[HTC Sensation] elvisypi:
Try a factory reset. Maybe you have to many apps installed that have auto-sync. If that doesn't help just buy a new battery
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi there , I have a suggestion that does not require root . Purchase a extended life battery for her and get rid of the stock battery! I have done this and its made a huge difference in my battery life . My. Stock battery was so poor that I found myself having to recharge every three hours! I had enough! I broke down and purchased a extended life battery and it had made a world of difference to me! I use Anker battery but recently ordered a Mugen for even longer battery life. The Anker battery costs around 20 dollars and the mugen battery costs around 80 dollars. It just depends on what your wanting . The Anker had been a great battery but I'm looking to get a couple days without charging thus I bought the mugan for trips etc. In your case the Anker battery will serve your girlfriend well. Do all the tips given to you in above statements and purchase the Anker and she should not have any more trouble. You can purchase Anker on amazon.com. I really hope this helps and you won't regret buying it. It really works well. Best wishes to you both.
[HTC Sensation] brushan:
She is rocking a 1700mah sensation xe battery:S brand New... Bought a New one last week :S
[HTC Sensation] icanttinkofaname:
Juice defender does not require root. Some functions of the app maybe, but the standard "data off while screen off" works just fine without it.

I have found poor signal areas are a killer for battery too. you may have constant reception but if it keeps switching from 3g to 2g, this also runs battery down as it's constantly switching signal towers, looking for the 3g reception. Try switching to 2g or 3g networks only. This helps conserve battery in good service areas (in my experience anyway) and may help.

I would seriously recommend rooting though. It allows for a wider range of diagnostic measures and possible fixes to her issues. Also a variety of ROMS out for our devices offer far better battery life than the stock ROM as standard.

Yip, bump that. Constructive helpful feedback will assist the dev to make this a better app, me thinks? Instead of cryptic comments...:confused:

Just released Podcast Addict v1.9.

Main new feature is the Playlist support.

A little bit more Holo design would be much more better. The glossy style of the bar on the top is not android like.

Also please disable the emulated menu button. The menu button must be in the Actionbar.

Now that I'm almost having every basic feature implemented I will rethink the whole UI for the v2.0
[Android Apps and Games] ventz:
Fantastic Podcast app! I hadn't looked for a good podcast app in a while, and I first went through and read a few sites that listed the "top 10 android podcast apps". I downloaded the top 4-5 and played with them. Eventually I realized they each have something that annoyed me too much. Usually, they were either too simple in attempts to have a clean/simple UI, or they were so complicated that it made navigation not enjoyable. I tried one out that had 4 tabbed screens of settings...

Eventually I found this one. This is the only one that I kept. I love the simple and straight forward UI and fantastic feature set. Perfect balance and no bloat. All the core features are there. The settings are simple and just make sense. The app is mostly intuitive in terms of flow - I would add a button for the subscription (using a Nexus S and having to go to options to view it was not intuitive at first). Another change, as some people have mentioned on the play store, is putting a back button -- although personally, I didn't even notice until I read the reviewsI only noticed it because a bunch of people complained about it. If you can, on the widget, please add the current time position and the max (end) time position. At last, ask people about the primary language and after that use only that language (ex of this: if you select English, when you search, there's still french under the titles)

Good luck with this app - you have created something fantastic! If you make a donation version count me in!!
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
Thanks a lot for your comment!

I don't understand what the problem is with the back button. You can use Android back button to go back to the previous screen. You can also press the App icon in the ActionBar to go back to the main screen. If you understand what te problem is, please tell me.

I didn't add any progress bar on the widget to avoid draining the battery, I might add a 2nd widget with a progress bar, in a future release.

As for the french in the search engine, I didn't take the time to clean the podcasts translations in the database, but I will improve the search feature in the upcoming v2.0.
[Android Apps and Games] ventz:
I think I understand it now. So the complaint (from what I am gathering from the comments) is that people don't know that hitting that icon takes you home. But that actually makes perfect sense. Some people call that "going back" by the way. Maybe replacing it with a button that says "home" would do it. Or having an "info" screen when you first install the app that tells you it's a "home" button for the app. I don't know -- honestly, this just doesn't seem annoying

That's interesting about the progress on the widget. I didn't realize they burn the battery so much.
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
I'm already thinking about adding some kind of tutorial or tips section in the app.

Widget refresh will not drain your battery, but because it will need to refresh the progress status every second, it will still add some CPU charge
[Android Apps and Games] ventz:
Take a look, if you haven't already, at the Spotify app. You have the same clean design, and it's very similar (same player on the bottom that expands when selected). I think the only thing missing is making that top-left corner into something like what Spotify has done, which will present all the screen options (home, search, playlist, all, etc...)

Anyway, either way, good luck with this app. I really like it! :)
[Android Apps and Games] oldirtdog:
PlayList Sort

Is there a way to sort the playlist? Here is my scenario:

I have a segmented podcast that is downloaded daily... there are 15+ segments that come per day... Ideally, I would want it to automatically download the latest podcasts and automatically add it to the playlist... I would need it to play the next day's podcasts but in the proper order... basically, day 1, segment 1, then segment 2, 3, etc until day 2, segment 1, 2, 3, etc... currently, it has the days correct but the segments are reversed...

Thanks for your help... I really like your app and would love to continue using it...
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
For now you can only reorder your playlist by drag and dropping your episodes. You can enable autodownload & auto queueing. Your episodes will then be added in the right order, but you might have other podcasts' episodes in the middle. In that case you will need to reorder manually your playlist.
[Android Apps and Games] tedricb:
Subscription issue

First off, I really like your app -- it is by far my favorite of all the podcast apps I tried. I love the feature set, but I agree with previous comments that the UI could still use some work. I feel like it could be simplified -- currently there are a lot of different screens you can be on, and no easy way to switch between them or even to tell how the screen you're on relates to the other parts of the app. I'm using on a tablet, so a multi-pane view would be ideal for me (though obviously not for phone users).

OK, here's my issue: I'm trying to subscribe to two feeds from the same content producer. But every time I add the second feed, it replaces the first one -- and vice versa. The feeds are from the Skeptics' Guide To The Universe podcast -- they do their main show in one feed, and occasional mini-episodes in another feed. I would link to the xml files, but the forum won't let me. They're easy to find on the Skeptics' Guide website.

Is there some trick I can try to get both feeds to show up? Currently my subscriptions view shows one listing for "The Skeptics Guide", regardless of which feed I've just tried to add, and the episodes available correspond to the most recent feed added. I've also tried adding them both at the same time from the search page, but that didn't work either.

Thanks for any ideas or bug fixes you can provide, and for your continued work on the app! It's great!
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
Hi,

Sorry for the late answer I didn't saw the notification.

I'm working on a new UI for the v2.0.

Regarding your feed problem, for now there's a restriction when 2 feeds share the same Podcast name...

I'll try to remove this restriction ASAP
[Android Apps and Games] fldavem:
Great App - 2 questions

This podcast app is really well done. I'm used to the UI, it didn't take much, and I love the different choices available in the settings. I have two questions:

Headset control

I'm having an issue with my motorolla stereo bluetooth headset, where after a few times pressing pause to pause and resume, the internal player eventually does not accept commands from my bluetooth to pause. Pressing the buttons no longer works. Any suggestions? I do have the Headset Controls option checked.

Removal of 'marked read'

Although I've marked many of my podcasts as read (I have it download a news segment hourly but might not get to listen for a day and no longer need the old ones), they are not getting deleted. They're still in the app and the trash can is available. Do I not have one of the settings correct? I have the Automatic Deletion option checked.
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
Hi,

Right now there's no link between the downloaded file and the read status. So if you mark an episode read it will not delete the file.

You can delete it manually or you can delete every read episodes from the filter 'Downloaded episodes'. In the menu select the 'Delete read episodes' entry.

I will add a new pref to automatically delete an episode when it's mark read.

Regarding the issue with your BT headset is it a one time problem ? I don't have a BT headset to test it, but I'm using a 'wired' headset on a daily basis and the play/pause commands works great. I'll try to look into this problem but without some hardware to test I cant't promess anything ;)

Notifications

First I would like to thank you for making such a great app. I tried a bunch of apps and this one was definitely the best. I have one piece of feedback about the notifications. It gives two boxes when podcasts update. One that says updates have been downloaded and another that says how many. I think the notification would be more useful if it showed one box with the app symbol then listed the podcasts downloaded. Thanks. David
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

You have 1 notification during update that will disappear when update is completed. It will display a 'New episode' notification in case you have new episodes.

Same thing for the download. One notification during the download process and another one with the list of downloaded episodes.

In the upcoming release (maybe this weekend) you will be able to select which notification you want to hide.
[Android Apps and Games] dnh82:

Thanks. I changed the notification configuration in the new version. Any plans to integrate directly with Google reader instead of importing the OPML file? Thanks. David

Can't read Dilbert!

Hi, great app, nice and clean UI design.

Not sure if I am doing something wrong, but I am unable to read the Dilbert RSS feed. When I add it:

http://feed.dlibert.com/dlibert/daily_strip

I see the new "episodes" but when I click on an episode, the display area remains blank where I would expect the cartoon to show.

One thing I was hoping for is that when displaying images such as this cartoon, the image would be two-finger zoomable so that I can expand it in order to see it properly on my device's small screen.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
Hi,

Thx for the feedback. I'll fix this for the next release (maybe in a few hours).

After the new version upgrade you will need to long press on the Dilbert Feed (in the main screen) and select Reset. You will then need to update this feed again to see the cartoon.

Regarding the pinch to zoom behavior, I won't enable it because it will not be compliant with the swiping gesture that allows you to browse your 'episodes'.
[Android Apps and Games] Jaiy:
Thanks for taking care of this so quickly. I can see the cartoons now.

As for the pinch zoom on images, I see that enabling it would interfere with the swiping. Instead, would you consider another method? Maybe either long-press on the image or a hit a button on the screen or select a menu button list item in order to enable zoomable image mode. You could then enter zoom mode, look at the cartoon, long-press or use button/menu again to leave zoom mode, and then swipe to the next episode. That seems like it'd be kinda cool.

Just so you know, on small devices the weekday 3-panel cartoons are just barely readable. The Sunday 8-panel cartoons are impossible to read without zooming. So, something is needed to zoom them.

Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

I have a separate issue from the one above.

In some feeds that I have, I notice that the sender posts an "episode" announcing a forthcoming item. Once the item happens, the sender then edits the "episode" and updates it to add new info. In this situation, Podcast Addict receives the initial copy of the episode but fails to receive the updated version of the episode, presumably because the episode is already downloaded.

Is there a way to detect that the episode's timestamp has changed and discard the current version and re-download it? Or to add an option on that episode's menu or long-press so that I can manually discard/re-download it?

An example of this is the WNYC Brian Lehrer show:

http://www.wnyc.org/feeds/shows/bl

They post a series of episodes in the morning about the show's upcoming on-air segments. The radio show airs between 10:00-12:00 and sometime after that, the RSS episodes are edited and updated with the audio for that segment.

I'm obviously interested in getting the audio segments for download as podcasts. Right now, I can "fix" it only by Reseting the whole Podcast then re-fetching the whole thing, at which point I do receive the updated episodes and can then download the audio segments. Which seems a bit cumbersome and involves a lot of extra data transfer of all the previous articles too.
[Android Apps and Games] Jaiy:
No audio after new downloads

I am also noticing another problem.

On that Brian Lehrer show feed, if I have episodes with audio tracks, and I download them and queue them, I can successfully listen to the audio later on. I can listen to the audio for all downloaded/queued episodes and I can repeat an episode, if desired.

But, 24 hours later, when I fetch the next day's episodes and download their audio, when I go to listen, it does not play. The play button is there and changes to the pause button when I touch it, but the audio does not start. Podcast Addict appears to get stuck, because pressing the pause button does not revert it back to a play button. In this situation, all I have found to cure things is a complete device reboot, after which PA then plays fine again. Yesterday I tried other audio apps just before PA, and they did play fine, so it's not like I messed up the device's audio settings somehow. The problem was in PA only.

What I am doing is this:

- update podcast to receive new episodes, with their audio links

- view each episode and download the ones I want. I have auto-enqueue set, so this also adds the audio to the playlist

- go to playlist and press the play button on the top episode to start playing

The first time, this works ok. 24 hours later, this does not start playing.
[Android Apps and Games] plasm980:
player doesn't mark episodes read

Hi bambou51,

The recent update seems to have changed the behavior of the program. When an episode is played, it is dequeued from the playlist but not marked read anymore. I don't like having the program delete episodes automatically right after they're played in case I want to re-listen to parts of them before deleting, so I delete them in batches based on the "read" flag. The recent update makes deleting read episodes difficult.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
That's the way a RSS feed handler is suppose to work. Once an item as been published it should never been modified.

Otherwise every time the update is triggered the whole feed will be parsed entirely which will take a lot of time and drain the battery.

In the next release there will be a new menu entry to force the refresh of a specific episode. But you will still need to do a manual action to get the episode updated content.
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
Yes I merged both settings (automatically delete & automatically mark read) in order to simplify the app settings.

I think I will rollback that change because of the feedback I got.

The only difference from the initial behavior will be that deleting an episode will automatically mark it as read.

Settings for each Podcast

Hi bambou

I use your Player since 2 weeks.

I really like it, but is miss a function where i can define, ho many episodes for each podcast should be stored and when they should be automaticly deleted.

For example:

There is a news podcast, i might listen when i'm on my way home. This one shold be deletet, even if unread after one day.

There is a comedy podcast, i like to listen all of the episodes and delete them by myself.

Or there are other podcasts, i would like to store 10 of them and would like to have the oldes automaticly deletet (even if unread) when a new one is downloaded.

I hope you understand what i mean.

Thank you for your Work

possible bug

Xavier,

I really love your app. I am switching over from google listen since it isn’t really supported anymore. I was wondering if you had a minute to look into a possible bug. I am not sure what is going on, but one of my podcasts that played fine in google listen, doesn’t work quite right. The Sacred page podcast only plays in the external player and won’t queue up in the playlist (http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/TSP). its kind of annoying because you cant really pause it and start back over where it left off.

Also the Bluetooth headphones controls work with my SIII, but I also use the media button router app.

Thanks again. i really like it.
[Android Apps and Games] bambou51:
Did you disable the internal player in the app settings (Settings/Audio player) ?

The app doesn't support video podcast natively. In case of video podcast you just need to have a video player install that support resuming (ie: mxplayer).

I will start working on the internal video player pretty soon
[Android Apps and Games] Jaiy:
I agree that RSS wasn't designed with the idea that a post would be updated. But many of today's RSS feeds (including the one from this show) originate from blogging tools where updating a prior post is a common thing to do. So, thanks for adding the ability to re-fetch an article.
