    Most of V1's feature are there. Plus PMs!

    Note on importing teams:
    - QR code will only really work when the qr code plugin is added with the next version of PO (but it works)
    - On importing team by file, you need to have an app that allows you to select a file (like dropbox, Astro, ES File Explorer)

    You can only have one team and there's no teambuilder either!

    Plenty of things are to fix up/add (like auto-reconnect, color/avatar/info selection); this topic is to get your feelings on the most important stuff to fix before a beta release. (e.g. what annoys you that you can't do, or what app behavior annoys you in the long run)

    New updates:

    - Auto reconnect when switching networks (wifi/3G/...)
    - Idle/unidle option
    - Better color management (brighter server list, better player colors)
    - Team previews are logged
    - If phone silent, no pokemon cries
    - permanent notificatoin as long as PO is running

    ---------

    - File importing works properly now!
    - Battle options update depending on the state of the battle
    - channel options are remembers now (default/autojoin channels)

    To anyone not being able to import teams: Please upload your team so I can test!

    List of things to fix before beta:

    - Allow selection of avatar, trainer info, trainer color
    - show when a player is kicked/banned/tempbanned

    (list will be updated according to the comments)

    I've tried connecting to multiple servers, but each time I try to connect, the application just closes. Also I tried loading a team, but the app said it had trouble parsing, even though I'm sure the team is valid, and the file is the correct type.

    Try changing your name. Also, does it not try to report a crash?

    As for teams, it supports v2 teams now, so try to open the team with the v2 client and resave it to make sure it's the correct format. If it still doesn't work, can you upload the team file so I can test?

    Edit:

    It crashes if I don't load a team and try to connect to a server. But connects fine after loading a team. Loading team from file and QR code both work fine.

    one thing you should know is that non-ascii names tend to crash atm. I'll look at the crashing with no team loaded.

    Alright, I fixed some of the issues (link updated).

    It shouldn't crash anymore when there's no team loaded, and you can put any characters in your name too. Please post if you still have the issues.

    Also note that the new app has a different package name and will have a different install than the previous one, so you should delete the previously installed app.

    Yeah the update works much better i've been using it and it works great! Things i would change if possible:
    - when your battling, it doesnt show the opponents team in the battle log box, so your kind of at a disadvantage cuz your opponent has your team but you dont have his. Unless you memorize it at the beginning
    - Also an option to mute the app, for some reason even if i have my phone on silent the pokemon sounds still play

    Other than that this is a great app!

    You can disable the pokemon sounds in the battle menu, but i'll take that into account and mute the sounds when the phone is silent.

    Some feedback, playing from a Galaxy Nexus with 4.2.2,

    -Menu button dissapears when in battle. In the PO1-app there was a menu for forfeiting, going back to chat and some other option i cannot remember.

    -When hitting the back-button on the phone it would respond as hitting the cancel but on the phone it goes back to the main chat instead.

    -Menu button is at the top right corner, not bottom right, when in the main chat.

    -Had some crashes earlier, but got a mail with a link to your update. Have not had any crashes since, THANKS!

    The cancel option should be in the menu in battle.

    It's weird that it disappears in-battle...

    When you mean menu button is at the top right corner, you mean in the title bar?

    Coyotte, there seems to be a problem while importing a team via file method. It seems to successfully load and stuff but my poke are missing moves. Hopefully there's a fix for this issue. Thank you.

    Downloaded app on April 21st and teams will not import. Other than the occasional crash (which I would expect from a program still in alpha) it seems to work well.

    Well I remember we all thought V2 would never be on Android. Way to come back Coyote. Just add the Teambuilder and the V2 Android will nearly match the desktop version. Also I have slight crash issues but very rarely. So yeah you have to add a Teambuilder because The Web Team Builder no longer supports us. Jyst my opion but thats more of a priority to me. Whether my Name is Red or your name is Blue wont make or break the app, but the addition of a Teambuilder will.

    Also I think it would be cool if we had theme support. Like from the App choose our own background colour or maybe add a picture instead of having plain white. Im no Developer and im not sure it itll be hard to do but its the little things that count.
    Also I like the new V2 Menu but the Server names are a bit hard to see. Maybe you can change the colour to a lighter White? I think it'll do alot of good for visibility. Also theres no Ongoing Notification like there was on V1. That was really convient and it would rock if you brung it back

    Lastly great work on The PM System. Its great and I see you got the 4.0/4.1/4.2 theme going on ofor PM. Its great. Nice work.

    Im happy to help any time. Im running 4.04. Ice CreamcSandwhich on my Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4G Touch

    This is what it looks like for me. As stated in my prior comment, I am running Android 4.2.2 on a Galaxy Nexus.

    Oh yeah, and when I load my team i get the error message saying "no valid team found" which is (about a second later) replaced with a message saying that i successfully loaded the team. i can use the team without any (so far noticed) errors, except for that the error message appears when loading (from QR, using desktop v2.0.07)

    No on V1 there was a Notification just for being on PO. Like Skype. You cant get rid of it but it always stays on your notification bar even if you press clear notifications. Thats called an Ongoing Notification. Same as when you play music. On V1 Android there was a ongoing notification that I could click from any screen to enter PO instead of going back to my home screen or App drawer.

    - Multi teams: don't think so
    - Next version shows the opp team in the log (like the comp one) so it'll work
    - Team builder doesn't risk to be there any time soon, sorry

    Yea, but i decided to do do something about it!
