Account Help / Re: App crashes after opening since 7/9/2020

« Last post by themetallikid on July 20, 2020, 02:55:59 PM »

Of course i cant get my phone to show it.  Ill ha e to see if i can duplicate it later tonight at home. 

Side question, i cant get the app to download the document files on my phone.  Thursdays gig found me with an uncharged tablet and tried using the app on my phone.  When i tried to pull up first song, it said document not available and needed to be downloaded.  When i clicked download, the activity flashedike it was doing something but nothing ever downloaded.  Had to pull up website and pull each one up automatically.  I have doenload over cell network turned on, and even tried over wifi, same issue.  Am i missing a setting or better way to have a backup plan?

Here's my take on iOS vs. Android:

http://forum.arlomedia.com/index.php/topic,1896.0.html

For iOS, the $329 base model is still a great value. For Android, I've had good experiences with Google's devices, but I don't think they make Android tablets anymore. I do think sticking with a recognizable brand name and avoiding the cheapest models are good ideas.

Sounds like a different problem. What exactly does the error message say?

Hey Arlo,

Still having issues with two different versions of the andoid apps.  I have a tablet with an older version of android (dont know the version number off hand) but its always run solid.  Other device is my samsung galaxy 10, with latest available android version.  Both apps will load and almost immediately start flashing an android folder destination type error that cannot be cleared only close the app. 

Ive uninstalled, restarted, installed again... and same issue. 

The phone app version has been happening about a month or so but gotten much more frequent.  The tablet has had 0 issues til i fired it up this weekend.

Looking for suggestions for tablet to use with BandHelper. Don't want to spend $200 to $600 or more on a tablet and find out it was a poor choice. Suggestions on brand, screen size, Android versus iOS will be appreciated. NOTE: I am not a big fan of Apple products but will get one if that's best. Thanks in advance.

Five years later, and spam registrations now number in the hundreds per day. But not one spammer has sent a manual approval request, so this method still works.

Do you need to see the song presets in the Multiple MIDI Buttons, or can you just show the layout presets there? The song presets still function the same way (accessible from layout actions, remote control actions and automation tracks) even if they're hidden from this button. You could also show both the Multiple MIDI Buttons to access one set of presets and and single MIDI Button to access all of them with a long press.

I rarely need to see the song presets (in a gig situation), whereas the layout presets are more critical for fast access.  So your advice is good: I've changed the layout for Multiple MIDI Buttons to show only Layout presets, and added the big MIDI button to press/hold in the rare occasions I need to get to the song prests.

Thanks!

(No need for that enhancement enhancement ;-)

Allow an ordering option that can cause the Layout presets to be listed before the Song presets (when show All is selected)

Correct that using a Layout preset in this fashion is still the best way in BandHelper to expose a button to send an arbitrary MIDI sequence on all layout screens?

Yes.
