Bimmerpost App 5.x WIP for Android

apptest · 01-25-2022, 09:50 PM

iviegatron just did everyone a MASSIVE solid by recording the problem he is having and letting me see it in real time.

I cannot stress how MASSIVE this was. Because I think we solved the problem. I might be jumping ahead of myself here, and I wait to see if the solution works for him before rolling it out to everyone as an official fix, but I really think that might be it.

Again massive props to him!!!!

Lets see what he says

Glad to help! Lol learned how to screen record minutes before sending it to you. It's a built in feature on androids which is pretty cool. I have sent over some more videos to you.

5.0.18 - fixed. Thank you!

eljay · 01-26-2022, 01:26 PM

5.0.15 here and my issues are resolved!
Those issues were:
- spinning "submit" icon when posting edits to a post. It now works fine.
- notifications are accurate

One additional request:l to add to my previous ones:
Can you please add message count/% full to the app?
I cannot see that last message sent filled up my message quota and closed my inbox. It would be super useful.

Yup it's in the upcoming .19 release, probably tommorow

JimVR4 · 01-26-2022, 02:49 PM

.18 fixed most of the issues on my Android 12 Samsung S20. Still need post count and Appreciation detail

Any chance of the option to show images in the thread useful old posts often contain images and much easier to track down than scrolling page by page TIA

Rhino at Work · 01-27-2022, 03:13 AM

Now on 5.0.18 and the fonts have gone massive even after setting to the smallest. Also doesn't now seem to remember that change.

MadBimmeRad · 01-27-2022, 04:19 AM

^^^^ That's funny, because my fonts have gone Ultra small like font size 4pt

In fact, the font selector doesn't work at all. It doesn't change any font sizes

Me too. Tiny fonts. I went to the 3 dots at the top of any thread (near the avatar). There is a slider for font size. Changed it here and it worked for ALL threads. The font size in Forum settings doesn't work.

Yup that will make its return sometime in the future

apptest · 01-27-2022, 09:37 AM

Before 5.0.18 all the font sizes were on the same base setting, but on larger screen Samsung Devices the fonts were just massive. So I put in a relative scaling system that will try to balance across all devices.

Then the specific font settings for threads or forums layer on top of that scale so you can change it to your liking, for threads or forums, each independently.

I could possibly give control of the entire system font size, but that level of control might get so confusing because you would have to try to balance two setting against each other.

If the titles at the top of each screen, such as "news" and "forums" look like a good size then the system scaling is working, then you just fine tune threads and forums font size to what you like to read on, that part is subjective so it's up to you

Rhino at Work · 01-27-2022, 10:02 AM

I appreciate that you can't please all the people all the time but when the word Subscriptions doesn't fit on 1 line on my phone it's too big.

Yeah true that is way to big!. Can you tell me what device you are on so I can fine tune it?

The font size you are showing affects the actual forum thread list, which you can also access by pressing the three dots when looking at a list of threads for a particular forum

Thanks.

I've noticed that font settings are no longer saving.
