Same for me.

I am seeing this on Android as well, just started yesterday. If I turn off auto update (which can be tricky), i don't get any inventory. I tried wiping data/cache, but that didn't help.

ETA: From Chrome, I don't see this problem - I'm only seeing it on Android.

This issue started for me a couple of days ago. Today I tried clearing the cache and even reinstalling the app with no change. After the reinstall, it continues to loop, "updating". A update will start, then back out, then start again. It's citing pretty strange. I did try letting it run for a while, in case what I installed was out of date but there was no change. I know dasilva333 works hard on this and I really enjoy the app. When it doesn't work right, like now, I really notice how much I enjoy the app. I hope a fix comes soon.

Same thing for me started yesterday out of the blue. Did all the steps mentioned above, cleared cache etc / Uninstalled and reinstalled same thing. Auto refresh appears to be off and still is stuck in this loop. This is my favorite app to move shit around and and I had to use vault helper or something instead.. :-(

Starting yesterday, it seems this issue is resolved - working OK now on my Android tablet.

It's doing the same thing again. Update loop!

I noticed this yesterday again as well on my Android tablet.

hendersj avatar Nov 16 '16 00:11 hendersj

Yes, this problem has returned. I see it on my Android device but not in a Chrome browser.

Continued from [closed] issue #677

@Grimsalt have you tried a full reinstall and clearing your app cache in android? feel free to follow issue #670 for more info on that

@dasilva333 Thank you for responding. Clearing app cache + data & full reinstall didn't fix. Found work-around *. Used 3rd party file explorer to manually search and delete hidden residual file tower_ghost.css in location path /storage/emulated/0/app/resources/ that remained after multiple deletion attempts from the device, the store, and 3rd party apps. This didn't resolve the issue, but somehow un-froze the splash screen, buying enough time to open Settings and un-tick the auto-update option. The app now works as before, with that function disabled.

*: for Android 5.1.1 on Nexus 10

Grimsalt avatar Nov 18 '16 00:11 Grimsalt

@Grimsalt thank you so much for that report, can you provide me what 3rd party file explorer you used? did it require root access to remove those files? I'm surprised an uninstall isn't removing those files. Can you let me know what version you're using right now after you unticked auto-update? Have you tried enabling it again to see if it works?

Let me know, thanks!

dasilva333 avatar Nov 22 '16 15:11 dasilva333

@dasilva333 Sure, glad to help, I really love this app and value you're hard work :)

  • I used ES File Explorer File Manager. Did not require root access. However, make sure left panel options "Show Hidden Files" is switched on.

  • Right now, I'm using Tower Ghost version 3.9.3.2 with the unticked auto-update.

  • For your benefit, I enabled auto-updates again to see what happens. Went straight back to the loop and blank screen issue again... There might be another hidden file somewhere to purge, have to spend more time hunting it down manually I guess

Thanks I'll install that on my Android and play around with TGD and the file system to see what's going on there, this might be a problem related to cordova-app-loader.

I've got this issues on two Samsung Galaxy tablets - one "kitkat" and one "lollipop" version of Android. Turning off aut-updates let's me use 3.9.3.2 version ok. Been going on for a month or so....

sdholden avatar Dec 16 '16 12:12 sdholden

Yeah, it's still a problem here - and with The Dawning having started, the app's now not usable for me on my Android tablet (also a Samsung Galaxy S 10.5, if that makes a difference). Tried removing and reinstalling, but no joy..

hendersj avatar Dec 16 '16 16:12 hendersj

Haven't been able to use for months on my tablets. Had to switch to Ishtar commander. Any news on a Fix?

sdholden avatar Jan 17 '17 03:01 sdholden

I haven't been able to use the app on my Android device or iPad for a long time now. I can only access the app via Chrome. I've had to resort to use Ishtar Academy ad well and still don't like it. I have been and still am waiting for this app to begin working again.

N1ceDrgn avatar Jan 17 '17 03:01 N1ceDrgn

@dasilva333 - is there any way in which those of us having this issue can help diagnose it?

ETA: I was just looking at this on my tablet and on Chrome, and it looks like the Android version is hanging up updating past 3.9.3.2, though I see in Chrome, it's at version 3.9.3.4, if that's a useful data point.

@hendersj @dasilva333

I tried to download an older version from Amazon which is 3.8.x showing the same behavior, so I assume it is not version related I have this issue on Nexus 5 and 10 (Android 5 and 6)

What a pity...
