Hey, I just reset & changed my password and the Awful app isn't picking up my cookies or prompting a pw. Restarted my phone, still nothing. Android 7.1.1 on an Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. Tried clearing my stored username, restarted, still no luck. I assume I'm being an idiot, but let me know if I can submit something that helps identify the issue.

Love the app, btw, haven't used a browser for SA in a long time.

You can't log in? Or it hasn't logged you out? (It won't, you'd need to sign out in the navigation drawer/hamburger menu on the left)

Double post but it's been nearly a day.

Does the app try to auto-fill images when they're linked with url tags instead of img/timg, and can that be turned into a separate option?

I found this post in the OSHA thread and the app auto loaded some :nms: content. Quoting the post showed it was linked not img/timg.

Yes, not in the task switcher or working in the background. It will just load up on both of my phones asking me to log in randomly whenever I unlock my phones.

That's not an image but a video. Which may or may not be automatically embedded depending on your settings (just like it would in a normal browser btw). The app currently does not care about NMS/NWS emoticons in the post or the videos being spoilered, though it will in a future update (the code is already written).

Honestly there's no reason that should happen at all - we don't run any background services or anything, the app is dead until you decide to run it. I guess it's possible that something screwy could be happening with a library, but you'd expect to see that more often...

Since it's both phones, are you running anything that might encourage it to open? Something that opens links to the site, something that tries to poll the app for notification badges for icons, that kind of thing. Also are you actually logged out? Or is it just the popup version that's logged out, and when you intentionally open the app you're signed in?

I don't think this is an Awful issue. A Google search for "android app opening when unlocking phone" turns up a whole bunch of forums posts from people trying to figure out this exact issue happening with random apps. I'm guessing it's either malware or a buggy app gone crazy with too many permissions especially based on this thread which is the only one that seems to have definitive solutions. Find & remove the offending app/malware and I'm guessing the problem will stop.

Well that's why I'm asking really, if it's just one person on both their devices that sounds more like something they have installed. But it's always possible something weird is going on for some people, so it doesn't hurt to ask!

No, nothing. And i'm 100% logged off on both phones.

Only thing I can think of that might cause it is if the app gets updated and automatically tries to parse credentials, fails, then opens up. Not sure how often the app gets updated but if I see an update notification around the same time I'll let you know.

I haven't had it happen with this app, but I've had a few other apps lately that seem to randomly open for no reason.

Not at the moment - what I usually do is quote the post, select the link text, hit share in the selection menu and either send it to another app or copy it to the clipboard. Then hit discard on the post

It's a bit awkward yeah, but it's pretty quick when you're used to it. But a proper menu for html 5 content is still on the list

How do you mean, "pops up a line"? A line pops up, or they move on the page, something like that? Does it happen at the same point in the animation every time?

It displayed a second copy of the gif that seemed to display behind the first and the top of the second gif was one text line above the original. The line shifted copy animated while the original was static.

Just rechecked and it is not doing it now anywhere but was doing it everywhere at the time of my first post.

cinci zoo sniper's avatar in YOSPOS seems to be where I see it the most. I've seen it on Shaggar's too, but I've seen it a lot on cinci's. Chrome updated early yesterday so I was assuming that was causing it. I can't replicate it reliably and scrolling way past it and coming back up to the post generally fixes it.

I haven't seen it in the app yet so maybe we're talking about different things.

They're probably related. The app is somewhat related to Chrome on the phone since anytime I'm in the app and Chrome updates, it kicks me out of the app.

The stuck bookmarks / external link thing got fixed last week! So that'll roll out with the next version - it needed a pretty big overhaul to fix, so it's stuck around for a while

And yeah Chrome and Awful both use the WebView component (kinda like a browser engine) so if there's a rendering glitch in one it's probably in the other. And when WebView updates Android unceremoniously kicks you out of an app that's using it

This is pretty weird, is it actually shifting over to the bookmarks page? And is the thread view still open (you can swipe over to it) or is it gone? If it's open, has it updated? And is this all threads or just a few spooky ones?

Huh, I was actually thinking that Web View was probably something to do with it, I just had it auto-update on me yesterday. Can't remember what I was doing but BAM I was staring at my home screen all of a sudden for what seemed like no good reason.

E: Re: the jumping to bookmarks, haven't tried swiping back over yet, but I'll let you know next time it happens. Trying to remember exactly but I want to say that it just jumps w/o a transition. FWIW the bookmarks page is updated when it happens so if it's a marked thread it'll show 0 unread on the listing. And yeah seems more spooky than consistent.

There are some spooky threads in the forums with missing posts that just act screwy (tends to be when there's one new post and it's on a new page), but that shouldn't cause it to swipe over to the bookmarks page. If the thread view is still open then that's what's happened, but if it's not there then the app has restarted for some reason

I mean it's probably fixed by now if it's on our end anyway, but it's worth looking into just in case :frogbon: I definitely remember something like that happening a while back, but you see a lot of things when you run a development version let me tell you
