BYC Android App!!!!

I also can't get the notifications to turn off. I don't need to know when people reply to threads, only messages, but because there's a delay I usually see my meshes through email so I don't need the notification. I've used the (+-) Notify in the menu but it doesn't actualy turn them off

I got irritated by the Notifications, too... think those need work... if you go into your phone settings, then Sounds and Notifications it has an app notifications option... click it and it'll show the BYC app and you can block notifications...
 
I'm stuck in computer mode. When I click the computer/phone icon it changes and reloads but the page always stays in computer mode. It won't let me zoom in do I can't see anything lol any idea on what's wrong?


I think you might be talking about the bug I introduced yesterday. I renamed a variable, and due to a bug in the refactoring, it renamed the part of the home page URL (unbeknownst to me) that puts it n mobile mode. You should always be able to resize the Desktop mode. If you haven't already, please check for an update...I don't know how many days it takes before the auto update will download new updates.

The other reports of notifications not turning off--I've never seen that, but I'll look into it and see if it isn't something new. By default they should be disabled, and you turn them off the same way you turn them on (or use the app Settings). Check the FAQ in my signature for more info. The notifications are stopped/cleared as soon as you open the app, so there should be no duplications. If you specifically open the email link to the browser instead of going to the app then the notice will remain, so using the app instead of the browser would eliminate that annoyance.

Toddrick, notifications were fully on right before your last update, dunno if it changed since though...

I turned them off totally because it was sending them back to back repeatedly... I don't always look at each of my subscriptions so I usually have a couple 'unread', and every time I cleared the notification it would send another within 1 or 2 minutes even though there wasn't any new additional posts or messages...

I just remembered there was a system bug turning notifications ON yesterday that took me hours to uncover, so putting two and two together, if you already had them ON then they probably couldn't turn OFF either. That makes sense. That should already be fixed in the new version. Please update and then let me know if the problems exist. If so, I'll fix right away. Thanks for reporting! :)

Yesterday was a very frustrating day for me because the bugs I'm dealing with now are mostly not related to logic or a typo (except that one rename issue), but a bug in certain versions of Android. System bugs are notoriously difficult to discover and fix. It's a good sign that I'm at least able to focus most of my time on such things though. You would think a Boolean value like On/Off (true/false) would not be something that could go wrong, but you'd be mistaken when it comes to Android heh.

Updated it first thing this morn... so far all is running smoother, still a little lag typing but not like it was...

Thanks for all your hard work, Toddrick!! It is appreciated!!

:thumbsup

I keep clicking on the alert but it just comes back as soon as i leave the app

The ads on the bottom are also still blocking me from using buttons at the bottom of the screen

Did you manually update from the Play store? The notifications were only broken yesterday as far as I know. Even if you have turned on auto-update for the app, you won't get the update immediately unless you go to the Play store and touch Update.

I will work on fixing the ad space. I thought the BYC ads at the bottom of the pages left more than enough room for the banner, but apparently not always.

I check every 6 hours or so just in case, but I haven't had a new update available through the play since some yesterday

I also have a problem typing, my keyboard blocks the reply window so I can't see what I'm doing. Is this my device or should the app be moving up above the keyboard?

Thank you for working on all this! I think this app is going to be AMAZING with all you've put into it! It's much appreciated!

I noticed if you search the playstore for BYC, it'll say update while in your list... if you click on the app, it loses the update option... click on update while it's in the list and it should work that way... hope this helps... :)
