Ah I see. I thought that was just to do with functionality regarding the ads.

There, I fixed that for you.

My phone is running Android 4.2.2 at this point, in case that is relevant.

The server app and the mobile device app are different beasts so presumably not necessarily using the same version number sequence. The version we are running on the site is the most up to date available and the owner's area of Tapatalk.com tells me we are up to date.

I don't live in Belfast, but I am a cricket enthusiast and a Tapatalk user (on two different Android devices - Nexus 4 and Nexus 7).

The latest version is another positive step forward and I find myself using it more often.

Android 4.2.2 is my OS version, which is in no way related to TapaTalk Server 4.0.0 or "Community Reader by Tapatalk 2" version 2.4.13, which is the client version I'm using.

The only issue with Tapatalk on

is it defaults to the Notification page and not the unread posts. Still trying to figure out how to change that.

Using an Iphone5 (minus the new software upgrade which I may do tonight).

Post by **DRT** » 08:43 Sat 28 Sep 2013

There are very few settings in either the forum admin control panel or the Tapatalk forum owner's area and I can't see anything that would control which page your device should default to when connecting. Does anyone know if this is a device setting and where it can be found?

I have made one change to the settings this morning so please check again that it is working on your devices.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 08:52 Sat 28 Sep 2013

I have found the notifications in Tapatalk very unreliable. Sometimes they work, arriving before an email notification arrives. Sometimes they don't come at all. I have switched off my notifications and switched them on again, in the app and in the Settings. No change.

I find that Tapatalk opens by default in the main forum page (that's to say, with all the tabs listed on the right - unread, participated, timeline etc) unless I am re-opening it just after using it, in which case it opens on the last page viewed.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 08:54 Sat 28 Sep 2013

The Auto Refresh setting seems to control this to some extent.

The setting I changed this morning was to add an "API Key" to the forum settings. This is part of what controls the connection between the forum and the Tapatalk server and, I think, has an influence on push notifications. Let me know if you notice a difference.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 08:58 Sat 28 Sep 2013

I just turned off my email subscriptions in the forum user control panel, in case the notifications from the forum were interfering with those from Tapatalk. I just received a Tapatalk notification of your post ^, after none at all for a good while, so perhaps it's working..

Andy Velebil · Post by **Andy Velebil** » 13:29 Sat 28 Sep 2013

Think I've sorted why. Notifications is first, at the top of the list, when I open Tapatalk in TPF. Unread is 4 rows down. Not sure how to get Unread to the top...

Mine as well. I was just googling why.

And now it has stopped. Good.

Post by **DRT** » 21:52 Fri 18 Oct 2013

Interesting.

The Tapatalk admin site has a facility to send a push notification to all Tapatalk users on the forum. I used that and presumably that is what caused the reaction at your end.

I received seven copies of the notification on my iPhone but no bleeping. Presumably because I have the bleeping turned off.

Happy not to use that feature again if it is too annoying.

The Tapatalk server plugin has been upgraded again. Please report any problems here.

Andy Velebil · Post by **Andy Velebil** » 04:35 Mon 16 Dec 2013

No issues here. Tapatalk just did a major upgrade on iPhones. Thankfully all unread posts now automatically show up without having to do steps to view them as before.

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 16:38 Mon 16 Dec 2013

I finally upgraded my client as well, and everything seems to be working correctly for me.

(I had to wait for a period of upgrading because Tapatalk was apparently trying to re-charge people who had purchased the Tapatalk Pro version. That seems to be sorted out now... it was a labeling issue on their end. Tapatalk Pro is now the tablet-enhanced version and regular Tapatalk is the free phone version.)

AW77 · Post by **AW77** » 13:19 Sun 09 Mar 2014

Ever since the last update of Tapatalk I have problems with this service. After the update, the system told me to log on again, but eachtime when I enter my username and password, I get the message that the username(or e-mail-adress) or password is invalid. If I try to register, then I get the complaint that the user details are already in the system (which is no wonder as I have an account here). I already deleted Tapatalk from my Galaxy SII and downloaded it again, but the problem remains. Any ideas?

If you haven't already, settings-apps-tapatalk, force stop, clear data, clear cache; restart phone.

TPF is working fine for me. However I have exactly this problem with FTLOP, and have had it for some time.
To be honest I still find Tapatalk extremely uneven. I rarely get notifications now.

Post by **DRT** » 16:03 Sun 09 Mar 2014

I found out yesterday that there is yet another server-side upgrade for TapaTalk. The frequency of releases is a royal pain in the rear end!

Sorry, but it will probably be next weekend before I can get around to installing it. I have no idea whether or not it will fix the reported problem but suspect not given that other users are not experiencing that issue.

Aw, did Phil's strategy work for you? Also, Phil, I don't seem to have an "apps" option in my settings menu, nor is tapatalk one of the apps that has it's own options tab.

Whereas the original question referred to a Galaxy SII, so my reply was android-centric; I have not used tapatalk on an Apple device, so can't advise on the solution for that.
