Cabbage App

martyeds

I recently downloaded the cabbage app. For the first few weeks it went fine but now more often than not, when i try to send a message i get ""log in failed"" error message. I have double checked my details and they are all correct. Anyone else get this or know what causes it. I am on the 02 network.

Hi, that problem is down to the O2 network itself. If you're the same as the other people who've been reporting this problem you'll find that it works fine over wifi, just not when connected to the O2 network.

In the next release I'm putting in something that will hopefully fix or at least diminish this problem but I can't say for sure how effective it'll be. The problem is that every now and then the O2 network decides to stop processing perfectly valid web requests that work over any other internet medium and that worked fine on its own network the day before (and will work fine again in a few days)

Without going into too much detail the workaround I'm putting in gives the network a few more chances to process the requests correctly and that will hopefully solve the problem but if your network has decided that it just doesn't want to respond properly to your phones requests there's not a whole lot I can do about it

I don't know if you're still looking at this thread but I have a suggestion that might solve or at least reduce the problem. Basically you create a new internet access point that doesn't go through a proxy.

On your phone go to the home screen then press menu->settings->Wireless and network->Mobile networks->Access point names

In there press menu->New APN and on the page that pops up fill in the following:


Then press menu->Save. On the screen you go back to highlight the new APN to make it the default like this:


Then open your browser and see if it can still access the internet. If it can't it's likely that you entered something wrong when creating the APN so go back and check it.

Once your browser can access the internet go back to Cabbage and see if it's working again. If it doesn't work the first time try it a few more times so see if it works at all.

Give that a shot please and get back to me with the results.

I realise you're probably not watching this thread anymore but I'm going to be linking other people to it because a good few people have reported this problem now

Cheers for the info.
I am working at the minute and will give it a try tonight.

Cheers Sam. Followed your advice on Sunday morning and all texts have been sending fine since. Hopefully i haven't jinxed it now by posting this message. If anything changes i will let you know. Thanks again.

Great

I don't think it will jinx it because the problem was due to O2's proxy refusing secure connections and you're not using that proxy anymore so hopefully all will be well now.

And I'm releasing a new version in the next day or two that handles O2 connections a bit better and will add that APN automatically so hopefully that will fix the issue for everyone

Really love the new update with the pop up screen. Is there any issues with the pop up on Sgs2 or it may be just my phone. The pop up doesn't appear unless you go into the cabbage app itself?

Not a major thing really as the app is working perfectly

I'm not sure what you mean. The popup is supposed to appear as soon as you receive a message and it should appear above whatever activity you currently have open. Are you saying that it doesn't appear until you open the inbox, and then appears above the inbox? I have the sgs2 too and that doesn't happen to me.

Did you leave a comment saying this on the market btw? Someone did and it's good to know if two peopel are having the same issue

Sam, I have an SGS2 also and can replicate what's happening here.

Basically, if you are using the phone and recieve a message, the popup will appear over what you were doing, and will allow you to write a quick reply and send it.

However, when the phone is in standby and you recieve a message, you activate the unlock screen and go to the laucher, where you'll find nothing but your regular notification in the notification area. Upon clicking that, the cabbage app launches, but then the popup for the message you just recieved will appear over the cabbage inbox where the notification should have brought you.

That's the behaviour that I have noticed anyway!

Hi

I found the problem. I had another app call NoLED that is a notification that hoovers around the screen when the phone is in standby letting you know you have a message or missed call. I guess this then cancels out the cabbage notification? I uninstalled NoLED to check and your app is working perfectly

Do you use some other notification on your SGS2 that works with cabbage on standby screen or maybe future updates may fix this

Yeah, that was me that left the feedback on market. I will update my comment now.

I was able to replicate that once but it worked properly a few times before that happened and it's been working fine since. I'll look into it

Looks like you're right!
I've tested it three more times now, and it worked correctly each time. It displayed the popup on the launcher window after waking it up from standby.

I don't know why it happened the first time, and hasn't happened at all subsequently! :pac:

Another small thing about the pop up window. If you type a very long message, the send with account button disappears even if you scroll to the button. Tried selecting all the text to copy into app but couldn't because of the keyboard popping up.

Again, it little or nothing as most texts are/should be short anyway but just to let you know.

lads, cabbage has a nice big mega thread all to itself.
can we use that please?
i wont merge these posts in because sometimes that can knock posts outta sync.
thanks
