Deeply appreciate your continued dev work for boost :3

I am still getting the generic timeout messages and no posts loading passed the initial load since the first pie feed update over a month ago. Other apps work fine and I've done fresh installs, deleting data and cache, and nothing seems to fix it.

I also get a timeout pop after scrolling the homepage. After refresh its working again until scrolling to the end.

[โ€“] Switorik@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It seems like this is a very small issue or I would see more traction on this. It's been like this for nearly two months. It would be nice if I wasn't met with radio silence when bringing up an issue.

[โ€“] Covenant@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Can i provide something like a log. I appreciate your work. I also bought it. So I'm happy to help where i can.

But before you dive into it. It's also possible that it's just me. I don't wanna waste your time if its a problem at my end. I will reinstall first and see if its still happening.

[โ€“] Covenant@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope problem stil is after reinstall.

[โ€“] Switorik@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm holding on to hope that the next update fixes it. I like the boost ui over the others.

The developer has been looking into this and so far no luck. Do you have anything you could contribute to the bug? We've been discussing it in my post in this community. I'm not sure the best way to link it.

Same problems :/

[โ€“] saigot@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The bottom bar on swipe mode can't be clicked on with Samsung fold 7 since it is covered by my system app tray, before the update it would stack on top of the system tray.

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fixing this, thanks for reporting

[โ€“] saigot@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Thank you for the hard work!

Samsung fold 7

Off topic but how goes it with the 7?

[โ€“] saigot@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I upgraded from the fold 3 and am quite happy with how much of a step up it is. It is significantly lighter and significantly thinner, I don't normally care about that much but the fold 3 was quite thick. The hinge mechanism is better, it clearly won't let in sand and dirt as easily as before. My fold3 wouldn't lie totally flat after a few months but so far my fold7 doesn't have that problem. Its wider when closed which for me is a big positive since I found the fold3 too narrow when closed so much si that it was hard for my thick thumbs to accurately type, I barely used the closed screen on the 3, but I find myself using the fold7 closed a lot more.

I don't think its strictly new to the fold7 but now magsafe is an open standard I got a magsafe case and found it much much more useful Than I expected, replaced all the chargers i have around the house with magsafe and am quite happy, it is pretty cool to have a video playing on the bug screen as i do chores or whatever.

oh my god, do I finally get to stop deleting random-ass videos from my YouTube history because I accidentally click into them?

..nevermind. Doesn't work, tried both settings.

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Could you detail what happens after you click on a youtube video?

[โ€“] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Whether the setting is on or off, it literally just opens it in the YouTube app.

[โ€“] rmayayo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

Check the following:

  • Boost version is 1.0.24-28
  • Settings - General - Internal YouTube Player is checked
  • Setting - Advanced - Links - Links to open in app - Youtube is checked

Thanks!

[โ€“] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Interesting, I wasn't actually updated despite getting the pop-up when I opened the app earlier. Updated properly, still didn't work, by chance I looked in the domain exceptions, and there was my culprit, I don't recall ever applying those, but the issue is resolved now. Thanks as always Ruben!

[โ€“] Mexigore@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

I double checked these and everything seems to be correct, yet the in app player doesnt work.

[โ€“] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Amazing, thank you!
