    But this doesn't tell me if I need to redownload it to get the fixes or not >_> knowing that would be great.

    So I've got an Android Tablet checked out from the university library where I work (never been used by anyone but me!). It's much bigger than normal phone androids, just a little bigger than an iPad. But yeah, it's pretty cool. Got PO working on it.

    I'm wondering if it'd be possible to either change the background (or have the option) to a lighter color, so that black names can actually show up in the chat; and if this isn't possible, perhaps somehow making the black names visible with white lining or simply inverting black names only.

    Hello there! Reporting a successful install and operation in a supercheap WM8650 (Android 2.2 Froyo) tablet.
    Only thing, if using a name that requests a password, it seems to never finish connecting. Using a different (non-pasworded) name works as expected.
    Unfortunately this tablet can't read QR despite having a camera, but I play Challenge Cup all the time, so I didn't even bother importing a team.
    Anyway, works pretty well. Glad to have this on my device.

    You could try using this to make a team while on your Android:
    http://www.pokemonbattle.it/web-builder/

    I'm wondering...is it possible to cancel a move you've made? Also, how about time stamps?

    Also seems like health bar doesn't update when life orb does damage to user.

    I was curious if there are any plans to add a landscape mode for the battle screen. I am using this on a transformer prime and love this app, but having to flip it over to battle is slightly annoying. Either way keep up the good work, this is the way I want to experience PO.

    Can the limit for the char. length of trainer names be raised to equal what it is on the normal PC version?

    Hey, would it be possible to add an option to move PO to the SD card on a phone? Some phones have different amounts of storage, and PO takes up a sizeable portion on mine, which is required to download new apps. Because I can't move it to the SD card it's stopping me from downloading new apps lol. If you guys can do it, great. If not, then... crap XD

    Also, another suggestion is to be able to touch the battle arena and have it show things like each pokemon's information (i.e. name, stat boost levels, etc) and the current hazards/weather/leech seed/ingrain/etc that are in play.

    Also great job, can't wait for .9 to come out!

    I have the LG Lucid with Android Version 2.3.6 and I wanted to report that after turn 37 the battle log doesn't seem to update anymore on any turn after that turn.

    I crash every time Tornadus/Thundurus/Landorus-T or Kyurem-B/W is sent out -_-
    I really hope it gets fixed soon, because until it does I'll have to entirely quit Ubers, OU and Monotype... And maybe something I forgot as well, lol.

    Currently it's pretty much just me working on it, but progress is being made pretty quickly since much of the code can be reused and the documentation for the new network protocol is better than what we had when we wrote the client originally. To give an idea of where it's at the client can connect to a server, join a channel and watch chat (sending messages other than Login hasn't been re-implemented).

    The answer is "when it's done" but I'm aiming to have it done within the next couple weeks; really just depends on how much time I have. There's also a lot of work I want to do to improve the app: build with a targetSdk higher than 7 to provide an updated look and feel for android 3.0+ devices along with other side-effects, allow cries and animated sprites to be downloaded and used (I've got code that can play cries and display animated sprites, but coming up with a good way to distribute the 100MB+ animated sprite .gifs is something I haven't done, thoughts appreciated). Of course getting the app working at all with PO v2 takes priority. After that though, I'll focus on these other features and start taking advantage of new protocol features (like automatic reconnecting for Wifi<->3G).

    P.S. I do want to get a team builder running one day, but that's going to be a lot of UI work which is honestly not very fun on android when you've got 9001 devices to support; extra developers for that welcome.

    I need help! Since yesterday my pokemon online on my phone would not work for some reason! After i import a team, the username becomes blank, and it asks me to input a username before i play. After i typed in a username, and connect, it force closes(nothing pops out, it just suddenly exits) Is this a bug? I have tried uninstalling and installing the pc and android versions, but it still wont work! I tried the qr code too, but its the same. Does it have to do with the pokemon online v2 update?(meaning that teams created by this version or updated with is version will not work with the phone version?)

    edit: after using my phone to edit the .tp files a little, i realised in the file my username and stuff part were missing, so i edited it according to how it should look like(the<teamversion...><trainerloseMsg....> and stuff like that) and it worked. Anyone know why these stuff were missing? Is it because i used the same team for two profiles(in POv2)?

    Android version 0.8.3 is not compactible with teams from v2 (v2 saves name into different file than pokemon).

    Use 1.0.60 to make teams until Mikewando delivers an updated android client.

    I can't develop for crap but I would gladly donate for the cause... seriously.

    You deserve to get something back for this ;)

    Thought of marketing it before? I'm telling you the only reason I still play PO is because of the phone.. It's so damn addictive.

    If you make a simple to use teambuilder for it.. you can essentially market it = make a killing. Ofcourse I'll assume that'd be illegal as Nintendo has copyright.. (unfortunately!) but if not, it's worth a shot

    (Maybe if you include a beginners guide to competitive pokemon)

    Again will gladly donate, that game has provided me hours of enjoyment and will provide much more :)

    I seriously don't understand why they haven't shown interest in the app market.. Nintendo can make Pokemon 10x more popular if they sold battle simulators for phones..

    The DS games cost tons more than a phone games in general and they sell already a lot. I doubt Phone Apps can make that much money easily.

    Although your post wasn't very clear, 0.9.1 has been released to address some issues (actually a revert to a slightly older revision) and hopefully will fix what you are experiencing.

    I didn't know this had been updated, nobody told me.

    I've changed the information on the download page to reflect the changes.

    Haha yeah we've been keeping it on the down low because it's not much use right now without support for the new network protocol.

    Well, I've tried this on two different devices with three different versions of Android.

    Nexus S 4g (sph-d720) with 4.1.1 and it worked fine (as far as I could tell)
    Transformer Prime (tf201) with 4.1.1 and it crashed to home screen.
    Nexus s 4g (same as above) with 4.0.4 and it crashed to home screen.

    Any error log or anything I can upload to help you diagnose why and fix it for future builds?

    Are there currently any work-arounds for making teams on an Android device? I've had to send my Mac off for repair so I don't have a computer to build/import teams from.

    Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate your hard work and effort. Maybe in a year o two I can help too :P . But until then I will enjoy your app. It's perfectly installed in my Samsung Galaxy Pocket (Samsung GT-S5300).

    By the way, maybe you should say in the first post that you have to use a 1.* version to make the team, because that got me crazy.

    Not sure where to ask this but I tried using the

    http://kalashnikov.pokecenter.ru/builder/

    and every time I upload from file or importable the qr code is read as
    not parsed properly and the android app marks it as an invalid team
    any ideas why it won't read my team?
    or if anyone already has a workaround?
    I do keep trying the search function,but the they all say use this site or the plugin
    (and the one thread with a download for it is linking .404 error now)

    android 4.0.4
    HTC One X
    pokemon online version 1.0.6 for PC
    Pokemon Online App 9.1 (oddly this loaded from QR code flawlessly)
