Promotion menu empty
Reported here: https://lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/bug-unable-to-promote-pawn#1
The field there i should be able to choose figure is empty. First time i found this bug a few months ago and it repeats every time im trying to promote my pawns. That's why i hate late game 😅 I've already tried to reinstall lichess app, but that didn't solve the problem. Also, I've got no problems in puzzles — I'm able to promote pawn there, so i have no idea why this field is empty in normal games
Android 8.1.0
redmi 6
lichess app version 7.11.3 (latest)
Maybe fixed by https://github.com/veloce/lichobile/pull/1785 ?
From #2170:
Device: nexus 7 2013 OS: android 7.1.2
Also reported in #2179 . I'm unable to reproduce. @matejplank, as requested in the issue template, please provide:
- Device make and model
- OS version
- Lichess version
I want to report this bug occurs still on: Device: LG G6 (LG-H870) OS: Android 9 Lichess version: 7.16.0
Sorry, we can't fix it if we can't reproduce it. Additional debugging info and/or pull requests always welcome!
@jas14 I had it on Xiami Mi A2, Android 10.
I installed now 7.15.2 to be able to promote again: https://github.com/lichess-org/lichobile/releases/tag/v7.15.2
This bug just happened to me. I'm on v7.16.0 Edit for additional info: I have a Samsung S8 with Android 9
As described in #2191, updating the Android WebView to the latest version fixed the issue for my device. Those who can't update can test this version, which uses fallback values for the promo menu.
Hope this solves the issue for everyone.
Is not Chrome used instead of Webview, or is it the same? I cannot update Webview on my phone but I can update Chrome, of which I probably had an outdated version since it's not my browser of choice.
Well, according to the google docs, chrome and webview aren't exactly the same thing on Android. Also, the README mentioned being close to the android webview, so I think that's what's being used here.
For my device, I was on WebView 70 and updating it to WebView 105 fixed the issue for me. Can you tell me which version of WebView your device is using ? It should be named Android System WebView in your App List.
If Google's Play Store doesn't show the update you can try using an alternative such as the Aurora Store. If you still can't update, you could try this release, which tries to fix this issue for old versions of WebView.
Actually, updating Chrome seems to solve the issue for me. My Chrome version was in the 70s, probably 72 (that's the version I have when I uninstall the updates in the app settings). I don't have the bug when it is updated to the latest version (105).
I only have WebView installed on my device so I didn't try with chrome, but if updating it also fixes the issue then that's great to hear.
I've got it on Mi 9T Pro with Android 10 with v7.16. Downgrading to v7.15.2 fixed the problem, so something definitely changed in the latest version.
#2191 will probably fix this issue. The other option is to revert #2111, which will probably be simpler but will reopen #2074.
I got the same issue recently on a Galaxy Tab S3, the app's last version.
Unlike in the actual game where it happened, I couldn't exit that state without pressing the "return" button in over-the-board mode.
Stockfish got really mad that I didn't promote my pawn in the ranked game.
Hi, after updating to v8.0.0, on a Moto G Power running android 10, I got the blank promotion menu when promoting in analysis mode. (But promoting during normal play works.) Had to downgrade the app to v7.15.2 to get that to work again.
Did promotion during analysis mode get missed in the workaround?
Thanks!
I also have a problem with promoting to queen in the Lichess game in the Android app. The application version is 8.0.0, Android version 10, phone model: Motorola One (XT-1941-4).
Please help me kindly.
Hi, updating Android System Webview from v76 to v95 fixed this problem on my quite old phone (LG G2 mini, Android 5.0.2), thanks for the solution !
