Bimmerpost App 5.x WIP for Android

[francton]

Just received my first push notification. Yay

[RSnic]

apptest ,

Well, I went back deleted v5.0.2 and then downloaded & reinstalled v5.0.2, signed in and MyForums and subscriptions are working!!

Appreciate your efforts to get things working!!

[MadBimmeRad]

Version 5.0.3

Dislikes:

1. I have to log out and log back in a few times for it to let me make one post - it keeps saying I can't make the post because I'm not logged in (even though I am) even with this very post.
2. I've uninstalled, installed, and reinstalled the app - no differences
3. I can't get my subscriptions loading as it keeps saying I'm not connected to the internet
4. I can't edit my posts
5. I can't see who appreciated my post
6. I can't appreciate a post easily. When I hit the appreciate button, it keeps going round and round without doing anything
7. When I try to reply to a post, while quoting the original post I'm replying to, it cites the original quote twice
8. It won't hold my particulars in my profile even when I enter everything fresh

Likes:

1. A lot more effective with the font attributes readily available up to
2. Easier on the eyes
3. Can use ordinary emojis now; what a relief
4. Can change the font size for reading posts (this is an awesome feature)
5. Love the fact that the M2 forum had a M2 CS on the cover

Does your avatar consistently show up on the top right?

In 5.0.3 it does

WHen making a post and it tells you that you are logged out try making the post again and let me know if it goes through the second time?

[Bumpinjeep]

I too couldn't make a post. I had two attachments, just tried to post without any attachments and still got the 'you are not logged in' error. It does look nice though.

Ok

Some updates

I can now edit my post but it won't go through - when I hit the submit button, it goes on an infinite loop

Some other parts that for fixed with 5.0.3

1. Editing my post is possible, submitting the edit, not so much
2. I get to see subscriptions more
3. I can see my avatar but still no info in profile

New discoveries

1. Copying and/or Pasting text is nightmarishly difficult as the screen moved up and down
2. When editing, all formats go out the window

Best new discovery

You are on top of it like a hawk

I respect that

Thanks! Keep the comments coming, we are keeping a running list and just tackling everything as they come in so this is incredibly helpful.

Still working on your login persistence issues right now

Weird thing

My motivations are no longer displaying

I get notification saying I've got 4 new notifications but in the notification page, nothing is on display.

Ditto with messages. It tells me I've got a private message but doesn't display anything.

This was fixed with 5.0.3 but has reverted back to its old self.

I think its all because of one single root issue. All the problems you faced before and now are all coming from one place. I’m trying to isolate where that is.

I think I might have gotten it, so I just put out version 5.0.4. It might take a few minutes for Google to release it, but let me know on if helps you?

Make sure after you install 5.0.4 you logout and re login again to let it realign your credentials

The layout for Android is cool and intuitive.. 👍🏻

You need to expand the size of your mailbox @apptest

When everyone updates to 5.0.5, could someone let me know if their username and settings carry over or they have to login again

[nekbreaker]

The prices don't show up on the private for sale section unless the write the price on the description

Mine were carried on from the begging, and in the latest version too.

Great update. One feature ask is the ability to have MyForums be saved to a top-level section, not just individual sub-forum. Being able to go straight to G80 or G20 top level category would save a bunch of clicks.

I guess the cute for that is to select the master forum as My-Forum

5.0.5 freshly installed after having uninstalled the older version.

Just hangs forever with the blue circle spinning both on Android 9 on a Samsung tablet and Android 12 on a Samsung phone, FWIW.

Does this happen when you post afrsh, or when you reply to a post?
