FrostWire for Android 1.0.6 Release Candidate

[Angel Leon]

Hello everybody,

I'm really excited to announce this next HUGE update, we hadn't had a release since november but we think it was worth the wait.

Download FrostWire for Android 1.0.6 Release Candidate 1 here:
http://dl.frostwire.com/android/fresh/frostwire.1.0.6.rc1.apk

We've fixed a huge number of bugs reported by users worldwide, we've made the application consume 84% less cpu/battery, we've improved our search algorithms, and we've added an amazing new source of free and legal content: archive.org, which indexes millions of public domain and creative commons works and which gives results back in the form of HTTP downloadables and .torrent downloadables. 

Download the APK now here and let us know if anything breaks during the next hours,

we only have about 6 different Android devices to test so we need your support

on finding and reporting any last minute bugs before the release

Here's the full changelog, we think you're going to love this one.

Force close when hitting frostwire icon in top left corner.

Force close when hitting the x button within search bar.

[Travis Rhodes]

Now, just had force close without touching anything.

[schoo...@gmail.com]

It started doing that as well for me then stopped then started again

If any of you getting force closes can send us the adb logcat output of the crashes it'd be awesome so we can fix them.

In the meantime we'll be checking the android developer log reports to see if anything has gone up to google.

Travis, when you say that you got a force close opening the navigation menu (touching the frostwire logo on the left), on what screen were you on? could you replicate it?

Will check if there's anything wrong when clearing the text on the search bar ("x" button)

I have not had any force closes here at all. Seems like all my downloads keep going into Queued. But no other problems that I have been able to produce. Very fast, looks great! Using Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2.2.

I'll try to get a log cat later. It force closes on the frostwire logo every time I push it. So yes I can replicate it. And it happens on the initial screen that opens up. Don't see any other screen that it would happen on.

My downloads keep stopping with this error:

Error: Inconsistent download state initSupport state = 20

[Angel Leon]

Tim, are you downloading with Wifi or with 3g/4g?

[Angel Leon]

We've seen that the inconsistent download state error occurs after loosing and regaining connectivity, perhaps it's the same issue (trying to fix this one now)

[Timothy Pickett]

I was on 4G LTE on Verizon when receiving the error. I'm at home now, and I'm going to try via Wi-Fi, and see what happens.

I know this is insignificant, but under preferences,  you spelled connectivity incorrectly.   "Conectivity" should be "nn"

[Angel Leon]

oh wow, that's very significant, makes us look very unprofessional. Good catch.

fixed

Hi Angel,

I also noticed when I leave the app, then return it tells me Phase3d is not responding. That is when I'm using 4G. When this happens the transfers are stopped, and must restart again. I'm sure the app is suppose to continue the transfers in the background?

Tim Phase3d (@KG8OC)

[Angel Leon]

yes the app is suppose to continue transfers in the background, http downloads occur in background threads and bittorrent background run on a service if I remember correctly

OK, currently trying to download a torrent.
