    • RE: Podbird reignited

      I can confirm the issue on the OnePlus One on the RC branch

      I've dug into it fairly deeply and the Queue table in the SQLite database in /home/phablet/.local/share/com.mikeasoft.podbird/Databases/ gets wiped as soon as the app is closed

      What's in the Podcasts table obviously persists because subscriptions are remembered between sessions

      When the app is open and episodes have been added to the queue the Queue table in the SQLite db is populated properly, but that data is then lost once the app is closed or the phone rebooted
      It makes it very frustrating to use it as a daily driver podcast player

      There are several other features I'd judge desirable to add if there's a renewed drive on Podbird development

      Happy to help with testing & debugging if I can

    • RE: Podbird reignited

      @Giiba I've been poking around the code a bit this afternoon. I'm a web developer not an OS / native apps guy so I could be way off, but it certainly looked to me as if clearQueue (which deletes everything from the Queue table) is being called when the app exits

      If that's the case, I wonder if that could be tweaked so that it could be controlled from the conf file

      a clearQueueOnExit boolean flag

      But like I said, I could be misunderstanding the code

    • RE: PineTab

      @halucigenia Mine too, arriving today apparently

      I believe it comes pre-installed with ubports
      What state of development it'll be in is less clear
      I'm presuming that it'll track the pinephone pretty closely as it's more or less a different form factor for the same internals, but I guess we'll see

    • RE: Privileged ICE contacts and medical information available on lockscreen [WORK IN PROGRESS]

      @dobey messages set with that app seems to take priority and is the default one displayed

      @PhoenixLandPirat
      Of course the ideal would be for the current maintainers to push on with the project & fix the bugs, but if they've lost interest they should let the community know so that someone else can take it over or so that it can be forked

      For me, and I suspect many others, playing podcasts is an important use case for my device. If development is paused on this and there is no other alternative application available then that's a bad position for UT as a whole to be in

    • RE: Podbird reignited

      Podcasts.clearQueue() is called as part of Component.onDestruction which I'm assuming is on app closure

    • RE: Convenient VPN App

      Agree with the need for an indicator too
      When the connection drops, there is an on screen notification, but it doesn't persist in the notification tray so it's easy to miss

      Being unaware your vpn connection has dropped could be potentially dangerous to some users

      Also, auto reconnect would be a good feature to have (e.g. when moving between access points)

    • RE: Convenient VPN App

      @PhoenixLandPirat I'm talking about an indication on the bar at the top of the screen, either next to the wifi icon or incorporated into it somehow

      Android has the key icon. On UT you have to go digging through the dropdowns to see if it's connected or not.

      Yeah I have commented on some of the open bugs, just saw this thread & thought worth raising here too

    • RE: OTA-13 Released!!

      @theare27 yep, the word suggestion bar on the keyboard is there in Dekko2 and Writer, so must be related to the Morph update

      Hmm I guess we're stuck with it this way now till the next OTA then?

    • RE: OTA-13 Released!!

      Seem to have lost word suggestion / spellchecking in keyboard since my update this morning. Have tried toggling the settings off and then back on

      Anyone else seeing the same? I'm also on Oneplus One

      @thrrgilag cheers, yeah I can bounce around when I need to see media until Fluffy Chat gets patched. Thanks for all your work

    • RE: FluffyChat Encryption via Pantalaimon

      @thrrgilag Hmm, so I might be better off with uMatrix? I know it's unmaintained, but FluffyChat seems to be focusing more and more exclusively on the flutter version these days

      Out of interest, did you get anywhere with the issue with images?

    • RE: FluffyChat Encryption via Pantalaimon

      @thrrgilag worth trying the previous binary (spawned via adb or ssh) rather than the .click?

    • RE: FluffyChat Encryption via Pantalaimon

      @thrrgilag great, got the click installed, copied the config over & looks good

      Quick question, does the PanUT app need to be kept running or can it be closed once the services are started?

      Fab that you've isolated the image issue, let me know if I can help with testing anything

    • RE: FluffyChat Encryption via Pantalaimon

      @thrrgilag I've already got ypur previous binary build running

      What would be the procedure for replac.clickat with the .click?

      I'm guessing:

      Reboot phone
      Install click
      Depete previous binary directory
