for now, there are no fc's here.

but i think the "loop through" the news is a bit laggy.

sometimes there are no loops,

in other ways it works every half a minute and shows me the next news.

btw...: great looking app.

Update Beta 6:

- Fixed auto sync issue.

- Added current location option for selecting location.

- Other minor tweaks and bug fixes.
[Android Software Development] lz2323:
Please try Beta 6.

[Android Software Development] lz2323:
Which rom and launcher are you using?
[Android Software Development] LordManhattan:
Still using too much data. The syncing issue is fixed, but it's using too much data for a RSS reader. How it uses 10 MB of data pulling some news links I will never know, but it's not logical. Again, does it cache anything? Where does these amounts of data come from? It's only showing me headlines without pictures or anything. How can 30 headlines be 10 MB? It does not compute.
[Android Software Development] lz2323:
If you use Beta 6, there is a .txt file in your sdcard telling you when the auto sync started. You can check if the auto sync is triggered correctly. Other than that, I can't think of any other thing that costs data...If it's not sync, then maybe the gmail or calendar uses data.

And how many unread items do you have? I mean total unread items.
[Android Software Development] LordManhattan:
66 synced articles as we speak from two sources, but I suspect that it syncs all my sources regardless of what I've chosen. A lot of settings doesn't stick at all. I found the TXT file and it looks like it the sync settings doesn't stick either. I've set news to sync every 6 hours and weather every hour.

Reinstall the app and try again. The old timer may be still working.

I think ,while i'm not sure yet, that is syncing every time i use the phone.
[Android Software Development] LordManhattan:
Well I'm back. As you know I cleared the data and reinstalled it yesterday. I set everything back to the way it was (news sync 6 hours).

I just checked the log and it's still syncing whenever it feels like it. I haven't added a location for the weather since I'm not using the weather widget, but it still syncs the weather. I'm now down to syncing The Verge and Cracked. The Verge publishes around 20-30 articles a day, and Cracked is at 4-6. But let's round the total up to 40-50 articles a day.

I checked the data usage, and look at that! For the past week I've wasted huge amounts of data on news TITLES. How much have it used for the past 20 hours? 80 MB. I have 1 GB data a months, so that's 8% used on a widget in ONE day.

I really hope you get this fixed in the end, but if I keep using it it's going to get really expensive for me after a week or so. Uninstalled.
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:
Zhe Lu: can you post the latest beta here?

My looks finally looks great;

Sync every hour.

Data and battery good too
[Android Software Development] LordManhattan:

Data usage (around 24 hours in use) only over 3G. WiFI is also around 40 MB.
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:
That's huge.

I've been there too. 243 mb.

But seems to have been fixed now
[Android Software Development] LordManhattan:
Apparently not for me. I updated to the latest beta yesterday and i cleared cache/data and it still used huge amounts of data. It has used hundreds of MB in the past week, so i won't use it again until it uses way less data. I also use Minimal Reader Pro, and it uses around 5-10 MB a day, and MRP is a RSS reader with intigrated reader with cache + widget. That means it stores articles for offline reading. 5-10 MB.

Big News on the other hand doesn't cache/store articles, and it uses ten times as much data. It collects headlines, and that's it.
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:
Minimal Reader looks good too. (I made design too on that .haha)

Yes. I hope ZheLu will post the latest beta for you all soon, and that it is a newer version of the one you have.

Off cause we are sorry for your loss of data, but that's the risk when testing beta apps.
[Android Software Development] Thisseas:
Unfortunately Ι had to uninstall it. The amount of data it uses makes it unbearable. Couple of days consumed 75mb when minimal reader for the same amount of feeds was less than 10mb. It keeps syncing all the time even if refresh rate is set to "never".

Why does the clock so large...

Here is mine.
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:
And why is the clock font wrong??
[Android Software Development] lz2323:
It's Samsung's custom font...
[Android Software Development] blackbearblanc:
But how?

And his is also another font
[Android Software Development] lz2323:
Samsung's TouchWiz has a system option for changing the system's fonts. In Big News we use a default_bold font as the clock's hour, which will be affected when the user change the system's font. But in the minute, we force it to a Roboto-Light font, and thus it is not affected.

[Android Software Development] Bon1380:
I don't know how anything changed. I guess its not in the cards for it to work on my phone. I tried changing the font, but the same thing happens
[Android Software Development] LordManhattan:
The new beta seems better. It has currently used 7 MB instead of 80, so that's nice to see :) I'll keep an eye on it to see if the syncing works as it should.
[Android Software Development] LordManhattan:
I'm happy to report that the syncing is under control now (knock on wood). But it's not logging anymore? I can't find the log file.
[Android Software Development] Thisseas:

Come to G+!
[Android Software Development] fafinaf:
I don't intend to come across as selfish but...

For those of us who actually bought this app and really enjoyed and appreciated this widget, are we just out of luck now? I mean.. are there any plans to update/adjust for feedly subscriptions? Because, It's really incredible, though mainly frustrating, that whenever I scan the play store for any new RSS widgets that provide at least basic styling/customization, only the same 2 or 3 including Big News :| provide this! Now, don't get me wrong - I like RSS Widget and Minimal Reader (Pro) as much as the next guy but.. I really need my favorite back. I'm talking bout that Big News (Pro).

I needn't preach to the choir or explain why it's great or awesome as I think it's a widely accepted truth. It's just.. well.. - I can't be the only guy sincerely making a plea for a Feedly integration update - am I? Big News is unique and legit. It offers what VERY few other of the hundreds of ugly RSS widgets do.. and Android customization and minimalist style culture is pretty big these days.. Big News, while simple, is the very essence of a 5-Star application. Usefulness, and demand!

So.. to wrap this dog-and-pony show up.. I am putting forward an official motion - nay,

demand

! for Feedly integration - on behalf of all Big News users who may have simply forgotten they had this widget as well as those who will triumphantly discover this golden nugget treasure chest ruby of minimalness beastery.

I also think it'd be awesome if there was a way somehow try to incorporate the style and design into Zooper somehow. Maybe like direct support (I.E. Media Utilities - sorta-ish?)..

So I leave you with this unnecessarily long post of mine as a sort of.. tip of the hat - For a widget well-done! Ey Ey!

Sincerely,

Kevin

Loving the new updates! Awesome to use Sophie reader too! Great work can't wait to see wot comes along next! :)
[Android Software Development] loele:
it would be nice, if the "loop through time" would be a bit shorter...

maybe about 10 or 15 seconds (just like the option in "minimal reader app").

so now i just can see 1 or 2 news on screen (widget refresh rate 30sec.),

because my "screen on" time is just one minute.

btw: "big news" is just a awesome app. think there is a lot of potential!
[Android Software Development] urarthur:
Looks pretty slick! Like someone said above, it has great potential!

Bugs: It shows wrong feeds than the ones chosen

Bugs: Setting snippet words to 0 crashed but then worked ok showing only dots after headline.... For example if you want it to show only headlines.

Add feature: Font size

Add Feature: select all/no feeds option

Also i think it would be nice to have a visible buttons for next and previous articles. Or when pressing on the left and right side would take to next and previous while pressing in the middle will open the article.

Does it include a lockscreen widget? Seems like it from the screenshots.

Again thank you for the suggestion! The two features will be added in the future.

---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

After selecting load with Sophie Reader, you might want to set Sophie Reader as default when you click the widget, otherwise every time you click the widget a dialog will pop up and ask you which app do you want to use...
[Android Software Development] flava69:
How do u set it to default sorry only just got up lol :confused:
[Android Software Development] loele:
this, is what i call a great support!!

When you click the widget, a dialog of apps shows up, and at the end of the dialog you'll see Sophie Reader, click it and select 'always'.

Anyone gets forced close while using Sophie Reader to read items from Big News?
[Android Software Development] lz2323:
Sophie Reader v1.8.8 is on its way to Google Play.

Here is a new beta version of Big News:

- Added 15 sec refresh rate.

- Adjusted the 0 snippet method. (I don't know if it works..)

- Unselected feeds may not be shown any more. ( Clearing data may guarantee this, otherwise the old incorrect feeds will still show...)
[Android Software Development] flava69:

Sorry about that, there was something wrong with the IDE and it compiled a bad apk.

I've re-compile and update the app to Google Play.

And thank you for your support! !
