I found the problem. I'll be releasing another version tonight that hopefully can squash this issue.

Can you send me a link to the feed so I can test this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Do you remember what the details of the crash are?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arghness:
I have details of a crash here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sparhawk6:
Is there any reason why I can't star any my articles? When I press Menu, I see the Star Article option, but it is grayed out and I cannot press it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xanthous:
From all I've read, sounds like "the one". I just installed it on my HTC Touch HD, WM6.5 (ROM from Miri), but it crashes every time. I got as far as logging in, but when I click to view unread items, it hangs and then gives the crash error. Does it save the log somewhere? I tried to copy it but it doesn't select the text when viewing the error.

Something I really need from a G-Reader app, is the ability to post to twitter (the link to the article I'm reading etc.)

Again, as I said...sounds like a great app....I hope I can get it fuctional on my device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
It should be enabled whenever you are viewing a list of articles. What are the steps leading up to this problem?

I haven't enabled logging yet, but it'll be in the next version so I can get grip on these crashes :( .

I messed around and found out how to mark all as read (for a subscription, tag, and all articles) so that is definately coming in v0.80.

I want to try and organize some type of closed beta, so a lot of these issues can be handled quicker. If you are interested in participating PM me. I am looking for a wide range of devices (WM6.1/6.5, HTC, SE, etc.) since I test on my X1 (WM6.1) and the emulator.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vietk:
Hi,

I've just installed SpeedReader on my touch HD, I am running a custom ROM which is under WinMo 6.1

The app seems to run except that I cannot login, I saw in a previous post that a user couldn't succeed to log in because its password was composed of '#' characters ... mine is composed of '&' character.

Does this problem is still here or it has been fixed ?

Thanx for your help

Kevin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _4saken_:
just tried this cool little tool! awesome job man! small, fast and slick. only thing missing for me is an option to adjust the font size and row height. selecting the different feeds and articles is a bit hard on my diamond. but I have big hands ;)

nice additions would be a slicker interface with a finger friendly config menu.

anyways, this program is going to be under heavy use from now on!

I was looking for a donation link to send you a few bucks but couldn't find anything. did I miss something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ko0l:
Nice app. I'm using wm 6.5 and found that you can't scroll in the browser form (pressing up and down doesn't work either), you can't even see the scroll bars which makes it pretty useless for me.

The scrolling in the other views is also really choppy. Can't you just let wm 6.5 do the scrolling? Its much smoother.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
YEA

I'm using WINDOWS MOBILE 6.1 on a treo 800W and you cant scroll up or down. No scroll Bars.. NADA.. How do I resolve this? the diectional keys do nothing either!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
hmmm

I just changed the # of subscriptions to 15 and now I can scroll using the directionak keys.. still no scroll bar.. HOWEVER what if you have more then 15 subscriptions (I do)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
CRASH

I am testing the program on an 800W.. every time I now go to options (I was able to do this before), I get an ARGUMENT OUT OF RANGE EXCEPTION . how to resolve?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jklondon:
just installed on TP2 (rhodium) great app BUT

1) cant scroll down with touch (seems to want to select the text)?

2) Crashes often - when I got to Settings.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raywright1:
support for podcasts?

this doesn't seem to support podcasts. do you intend to add support for rss podcasting?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
That is a limitation of the control I am using. Also, some browser functionality changed in WM 6.5 (ie. Pocket IE) which is causing this issue. As a workaround, I added the option to view articles in your default browser. I will seek an explanation to this.

Scrolling in the lists? or scrolling in the browser?

Seems like I have a lot of crashes related to opening the settings screen. I will try and recreate these crashes and add some more exception handling.

What do you mean by rss podcasting? I'm not real familiar with this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raywright1:
rss podcasting

for example, subscribe to the bbc news broadcast in google reader.

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio/newspod/rss.xml

then navigate to it in SPeeedReader. if you click on the article's hyperlink, it says it is trying to open the MP3 but then it just gives a blank screen or an error 'the requested page can not be displayed'.

some rss feeds link to MP3 podcasts which are automatically loaded into media player but the entire thing is managed via the rss subscription.

it would be great if your software would support this.

I get an error: " An unexpected error has occured in SpeedReader.exe'

I downloaded the latest version of speedreader and installed in on motorola q9h (it has compact framework v3.5)

every time I launch speedreader, i get " An unexpected error has occured in SpeedReader.exe'

If I select details, it shows: "NotsupportedException at microsoft.agl.common.misc.handlear(pal_error ar) at system.windows.forms.control._initinstance(wnt wnt, uint32 dwstyle).....

Any ideas what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twe90kid:
does it actually marked articles as read on both the app and the online reader?

hm doesn't seem to allow me to drag and scroll using touch screen. what happened
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
It does mark as read now :)

And the only part that doesnt scroll is the articles go to setting => behaviour and check load in default browser. Its a problem with 6.5 many people have found it using the web elements in a program, i believe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mskovrinskie:
Nice app. I have a few feature requests:

- ability to mark an artle as unread

- when looking at a list of articles, an option to Mark All Read for the items visible on the screen (say 15 if I am shiowing 15 at a time) as read. The only way to do this now is to go back and mark the feed as read (too many clicks)

- I like the ability to default to the Reading List view, but why is the Back button available there?

- Allow the ability to hide subscriptions with 0 unread items. For example, if I use the Tag view which shows X number of unread items, then I have to search through the list of feeds once I open that tag to find the feeds with unread items. I'd rather just see the ones that need review.

- Left/Right directional pad or Left/Right swiping would be nice for moving between next/previous unread articles.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Please see my responses in bold. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
Far as i can see i cant login loads the next page after login then is unsuccessful

Managed to turn back on logging and they say the following:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkultraman:
i find that when i am reading an item (after selecting an item to read). it does not support finger to drag. also the d-pad up/down button action is just line up/down.

is it possible to allow finger scroll and make the d-pad up/down button to page up/down instead of line up/down.

p.s. i am using wm6.5

thanks and cheers.

crashes with default browser

I finally got to frustrated with beyond pod and its crashes

installed speedreader .8

loads down loads but it crashes when I click use default browser ( opera97b)

(and the new version of explorer is awful on the sagai770 with mr1)

any suggestions
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kniffo80:
installed at my HTC Touch HD. nice app, but when i open an article to read it, it seems to be displayed in internet explorer or something like that? i cant scroll and so can't read the article at all.

using WM 6.5.

when i try to use the "default browser" option, the app crashes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
V0.81 – July 22, 2009

Bug fix: Unable to open article in external browser while viewing the article using the internal browser

Bug fix: Articles “kept unread” in Google Reader desktop will be marked as read in Speeed Reader

Bug fix: Some users weren’t able to login even though their credentials were correct

Download now!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Hi guys, to those using WM 6.5, the internal browser is very different from the WM 6.1 browser due to the fact that the new Pocket IE is used in WM 6.5. This is an issue that is out of my control (unless I write my own HTML viewer) for the time being. Please check the option to always use the default browser.

To those with the application crashes when use the default browser. Do you have Opera 9.7 Beta installed and configured as the default browser?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
i cannot login i have gmail account but i cant login, where do i need to make account?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twe90kid:
for some reason speeedreader isn't very stable for me. it crashes every so often while looking through links to read
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkultraman:
BTW, there is WM6.5 SDK from microsoft already, did you try?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kniffo80:
hi emuneee. i changed now my default browser to opera 9.5 and it works like a charm ;-) it seems there are problems with the new opera beta (9.7 i think). thanx for the fast help. *thumbs up* for development ;-)

EDITH says: would it be possible to add a menu point "mark all read"?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
where do i need register so that i can login in this app???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
All you need is to go to www.google.com/reader and sign up.

You need to have a google account, or a google app account.

If you have a login for a google service then that will also work.

Hope that gives the answers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
i get error there has been error retivering data from google reader?!?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kniffo80:
same problem with my phone. loggin in, then, after starting the app itself, i got an error: "There has been an error retrieving data from Google Reader."

then, application closes :-(

version: 0.81
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Hi guys, there is an issue where this can occur:

1) If you have a Google Reader account, but have no subscriptions. Please add subscriptions to your Google Reader account using the desktop client

2) If you have 0 unread articles

I will be issuing a fix for issue #2 today so be on the lookout for it. :)

Yes, I did try it. I had the same problem however.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
i have subscriptionss in mine google reader client but still same :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Do you have any unread articles?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
yepp...dont get why it wont work...

now i got message unable to login, try again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Can you enable logging? This will help me better debug your issue.

You can do this by: (the default Application directory is on the device at \Program Files\Speeed Reader\)

1) Opening SpeeedReader.ini (in the application directory) in a text editor (either an on device text editor or copy this file to your desktop via activesync)

2) Change the value for 'EnableLogging' from false to true.

3) Save the ini file and copy the file back to the location if necessary

4) Restart Speeed Reader and attempt to log in again

5) Once you get the error, Speeed Reader should have written an error log in the application directory called SR_Error_log.txt. Please open this file and send me the messages contained. This will not contain any private or personal data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
V0.82 is out. See the first post for details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:

EDIT:problem..when i click on news it opens it but i cannot scroll down using finger if you understand me...i cannot move text to see whole text i need to use hw keys for that....also it will be awesome to enable zooming in/out text ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] palmerfr:
I have the same problem than others. I can loggin in, then, I got this error: "There has been an error retrieving data from Google Reader."

Here is the error log file.

Thanks for your help,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noellenchris:
Maybe if he adds a scroll bar , then at least my GScroll would move the page..?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkultraman:
hi emuneee, are you using IE6 browser control on WM6.5?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
again getting message unablevto login.....hope you will work on this...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zhw007:
It seems to be wonderful software that meets my need to access the Google Reader thru my phone, but the link is not workable for me, could you please help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sd00:
Excellent! but 1 limitation puts off using it

Hi there, I like this application a lot but for me, the inability to scroll the documents using screen gestures (flicks) is a deal breaker :(

Are you close to a solution on this?

PS, is there a chance you will enable the kinetic scrolling & physics of WM6.5 on the lists? It is very smooth & would give this app a familiar feel!

Thanks, Steve.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
I (or .NET rather) am using whatever is the new browser on WM 6.5 devices. It's a decent external browser, but sucks if I use it was a control in my application. I am contemplating just writing my own HTML viewer so I can solve this problem and end the memory leaks. But its going to have to come after offline mode is added. Time consuming...:)

Send me an email with more details -- speeedreader@gmail.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Try this link:

http://eeenno.emuneee.com/SpeeedReader/download/SpeedReader_082.cab

Flicking through articles is possible on WM6.5, but then again, the internal browser sucks. I am using third-party UI controls because I have zero experience designing user interfaces on WM. I will see if the third-party has any plans for this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Speeed Reader v0.83 has been posted...see first post for details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uzzer:
any ideas how to change the font size and family for internal viewer? I have something like "Nina" and font size is big, twice bigger than my system default.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
is that in the reader of the articles and also are you running 6.5.

If so then it is normal behaviour due to incompatible IE. Same reason it doesnt scroll...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uzzer:
I am running on 6.1, but WVGA (diamond2) display. I had the same problem with some other software.

Hope someone will fix it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bazzix:
App with great potential. Just missing a feature that I use a lot on the google reader interface: the J and K hotkeys (next previous article).

Could you implement the other keys as well? Especially useful for people with hw keyboards on their device:

http://www.google.com/support/reader/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=69973

I'm also missing a finger friendly scroll for the article reading.

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radzish:
Hi. First of all Thanks for the good app. But it is unfortunately not for wm 6.5 users (as for me). With the issue mentioned you hardly can say that app supports wm 6.5 ;).

About using option "to always use other browser as default browser". Why do I need Speed Reader at all then?

I've tried RSS Hub app. I feel like it uses IE in its core as well. It does not run as smooth as on WM 6.1 but the least it allows to scroll article and to switch between articles with hardware buttons...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] piggygotfried:
I can't seem to scroll with the directional buttons. =/

Trying to run this on the htc ozone. QVGA, WM6.0 I have .net 3.5 installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neo24:
apptodate support is at my device not working - i also findin the Folder Application Data/AppToDate/ no Xml for speedReader - does anybody knows a solution ? because i love apptodate :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It's *not* working, or you're just looking for a file there?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neo24:
not working

and i dont have a file (probably therefore its not working)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Well, AppToDate can wind up in the programs directoy, the apptodate drectory, OR in the registry. I've seen people say a program isn't working for AppToDate because they didn't see the file, but it was working in reality because it was using the registry.

Did you attempt to install to the SD card? If so, this program refuses and installs to ram anyway, but I still found files on the SD card. Look there?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neo24:
humpf - i dont think my apptodate is working with SpeedReader - i had since a long time SpeedReader v.82 - then i looked 2 days ago on the homepage and found out that v.83 is there - i downloaded and installed it ...

so no update throught apptodate ...

speedreader also dont appear in my apptodate list - i have some programs which appear in the list if i open apptodate and then it downloads the update if there is one - did that 3 or 4 days ago with fim (a facebook client - also here on xda-devs.) it worked without a problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DJCarlos:
Hello all,

I am using speeed reader since 2 weeks ago, and i am rather happy about it.

Good project.

I have 2 "problems" and 1 suggestion and 1 question

Problem 1 - sometimes i get an error message, when i start the program, "Error there has been an error retrievieng data from google reader" and the program shut-down. It can happen 4-5 times in a row...

eventually i turn of my phone and re-start the application and it works.

Problem 2 - the list of my feeds subscriptions is not updated.

I have several rss subscriptions on google reader. I set up Speeed Reader and it worked. Then i come back to Google Reader and added an extra subscription but this was not reflected onto Speeed Reader.

In apptodate list, i dont see speeed reader.. i saw on the forum that other people notice this too.

Suggestion, it will be nice to be able to go to the next article like on Rss Hub, by sliding to left or right.

Question: Does speeed reader works really offline? I mean, if i luch the program, and then take the subway will i read the articles? not sure...

- I am making some test on the application.

- I have 3g enable, i turn on speeed reader, i check the engadget feed, read one or two articles, then i mark all as read.

- I check on google reader, changes are applied. good.

- On speed reader i go back to the main list of rss feads.

- THEN I turn off 3g (i put my phone on flight mode)

- I click on slashdot feed (90 unread articles) i get this message "0 articles to load" - so i am unable to see those articles.

- I click on engadget feed again (with the read articles) i click on any news and i can read the articles.

- I turn on 3G then i click on the feed Slashdot feed, i see the list of the articles unread.

- Then i turn off again 3g, i can click and read all the articles.

So it seems that we have to pre-load the feed (and see the list of articles) before we can go offline (or take the subway)

- I mark all the Slashdot articles as read (with the 3g off)

- i turn 3g on again.

- i hit the refresh button on speeed reader, i wait for the refresh to be completed. Then i check on google reader articles are still mark as unread.

- I close speeed reader, and i restart the program. Speeed reader show me that Slashdot feed is still unreaded (althoug i marked as read all the articles while i had the 3g off)

So it seems that the changes made while offline are not being "recorded" in order to be resend to google reader server once the 3g is on again.

can anybody confirm? or maybe i got a wrong setting somewhere?

Thanks for your hard work Emuneee (ps it will be easier if we had less "e" hihihi)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] olegsol:
Wrapping headers

Very good application.

Wrapping headers in the list (probably, as an option) will make it even better.

Is that planned for future releases?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
next version is currently in beta testing and all i will say is it is very good lots of improvements on the way :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
Sorry all, been busy developing, so I havent had a chance to respond to replies, I have read them all though.

I'll have responses later on tonigh. I am on my phone right now. What Chris said, beta testing is in progress for v0.90. Thanks to all the beta testers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emuneee:
I may have unknowingly broken this, I will have it fixed by v0.90.

Weird, has anyone else had this problem.

Yes, wrapping headers is on the list of upgrades.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LordK:
Hi,

great Software. I like it really much, but unfortunetly i have two problems.

The first one is, that die application tries to connect via 3G to the internet even if a wifi connection is established :(

I'm using an Xperia X1i with the R2AA Vodafone Rom

The second problem is with a rss feed.

The feed of Golem.de (http://rss.golem.de/rss.php?feed=RSS2.0).

If i try to open the article it only loads the URL of the Image embadded into the feed and not the whole article. Maybe you can have a look at that, since i like that feed very much.

Thanks a lot and best Regards

LordK

v.90 is out

negative stuff i found:

- it dont save the log ins

- apptodate is still not working
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It does save logins, you just have to specify it in the menus, it used to be a (defaulted) option right on the login page.

Still can't scroll in 6.5 with default Opera browser without launching Opera, which is meh.. Although I did find that on the Tilt 2, with a tweak, one can use the "zoom bar" to scroll, albeit not very predictably.

As for uptodate not working, it's how I got 0.90, soo?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris10230:
If scroll is not working is because something is wrong the the .net there is a fix try this from his blog.
