Group: Forum Members Posts: 23, Visits: 54	Yesterday I was having trouble with SD reliably crashing and shutting down. This happened whenever I tried to use the "spinner" wigit to change my take-off time on a route. I had flown Redhill to Calais and wanted to reverse the route for the flight back. As i needed a flight plan I needed to enter an accurate flight departure time. I pulled up the "flight details panel, went to Take-off and tried to spin the hour number. SD shut down. I repeated this several times with both the hours and minutes spinner. After a few moments of incredulity (SD is normally SO reliable) I realised I could type in the numbers I needed and that worked ok. I had similar problems when I wanted to delay my resulting flight plan - adjusting the departure time through the "Manage my flight plan" facility caused similar crashes and I ended up having to delete the flight plan and create a new one. This activity was on a Samsung S22Ultra. With Android 15. A significant point is the phone had just updated to One UI version 15. Attachments image.jpg (41 views, 192.00 KB)

No worries then. I hate spinners anyway; I'll just type the number in now I know. Is the spinner problematic wherever it appears? And are there other similar bugs in One UI that it would be worth being aware of?

I don't use One UI so don't know any more. Hi Tim, I’m experiencing exactly the same issue when setting the flight time and when sending a delay notification for the flight plan. I also wasn’t able to manually enter a time to shift it, so I had to do it by phone with DFS. The issue seems to have started after the update to OneUI 7.0 / Android 15, and I’m using SkyDemon version 4.0.2.0. I also tried installing SkyDemon on my wife’s phone, but failed right after login during the chart download. Instead of being presented with a country selection, the download starts immediately, but nothing happens — probably because no country is selected. When tapping the back button, you briefly see the country selection menu, but it closes right away and takes you back to the welcome screen. The same OneUI, Android, and SkyDemon versions are installed on that phone. Could this also be related to the new OneUI or Android version? Christian

Group: Forum Members Posts: 351, Visits: 2.5K	Just a query regarding SkyDemon versions information. I have an Android Samsung S22+ and when I click on "Help/About SkyDemon" it says I have version 4.0.4.0 loaded. I think this is the latest version. When I click on "Help/Version History" its mentions: Version 4.1.0 (forthcoming) Version 4.0.2 (30 Jan 2025) Version 4.0.1 (21 Nov 2024) Version 4.0.0 (22 Aug 2024) etc. No mention of version 4.0.4.0 which is the current release. It would appear that version 4.0.3 got binned...? Just a comment regarding "forthcoming" version info. Wouldn't it be better to supress this information until the version has actually been pushed?

Occasionally we will do a small release to fix something in one platform (iOS) where nothing needs fixing in Android, for example. That's what happened to 4.0.3. Rest assured that anything worth documenting is documented on the version history page.
