Hi, I have used TBA on the same device for years without issue but since the last update I just can’t get it to work. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting device and trying different networks, all the obvious stuff, but still no difference. It always gives error. Has anybody else had similar issue? I’m thinking of downgrading to the second latest release as the newest one contains no CVE fixes, is that good? Thanks

hey! I’m a little stumped off the top of my head. Can’t reproduce here… One good thing is fixing log copying should be easy (default of android is noncopyable text so should just need to add a parameter to the code to enable 🙂 )
What device do you have?

danb meant he would be able to add that code/parameter in future builds to help _everyone_
device details should be under Settings \> About Phone (or similar) - but I’m not a heavy android user and you said you have an old version - so checking somewhere in Settings should give you information to post here 🙂
