Homebrew forum Android app not working.

[Maoriboy]

Hi all. Today an update came down for the Homebrew forums app and it doesn't work. Downloaded to both my Samsung Galaxy S3 and Sony tablet S. Both of them are on Ice Cream Sandwich and both worked fine. Now you can't even get into the app without it crashing. Help guys coz there's nothing more i like doing at work than browsing the forums here.

Yup, same thing here. It started yesterday afternoon and is still down. Thankfullly I work from home today and I have my personal laptop nearby

Uninstall the app then reload it.
The update to the initial program is the issue.

 

[Pie_Man]

Thanks, it worked! I was thinking of trying that, just being lazy.

Thanks for this, was having the same problem, but uninstall/reinstall fixed it.

This worked for me as well.

I've uninstalled & reinstalled a few times since yesterday with no luck. I've cleared cache & data and the app still crashes before loading...any suggestions?

 

[brewmasterorr]

Working fine for me....

I installed the update, which when launched immediately crashed without ever getting to the screen. Reading the tip here I removed the app and installed fresh. No problems since.

Android version 2.3.4 on a DroidX...

Cheers!

I had the same issue. I reinstalled several times. Unfortunately, the only thing that finally fixed it was a total factory reset.

Same here...Froyo 2.2.1, honestly, I tried everything! Factory reset was a last resort.

Thanks for the help. Would have been lost without this app

This afternoon I noticed that the HBT app had auto-updated itself, so I launched it and it immediately crashed - just like the last update.

Killed everything then tried launching HBT again and it crashed, so I removed the app and installed 1.3.17 fresh, again. Which still works fine.

Turned off automatic updates this time...

Cheers!

Mine has crashed too with each update. Clearing data & cache has worked for me.

Glad I wasn't the only one.
I did an uninstall and re install and all was good.
Then it updated again and I was screwed.
I took it off, installed again and made sure automatic updates was off.
It's working great now.

It happened with the last 2 updates but easily fixed by reinstalling. This was on my galaxy s3 and cm7 nook has been fine.

 

[Pie_Man]

Yup, it happened again. I think I need to turn off auto update.

 

[day_trippr]

Ok, this is weird. I have had automatic update disabled since the last HBT update was hosed, yet this evening I discovered the HBT app had updated itself to version 1.3.18 anyway.

On the upside, this update actually seems to work perfectly. On the downside, it appears that I don't in fact have the final word on my own phone...

Cheers!
