RE: eSteem - Feature Set #9 (Voters info, Day and Night mode)

in #esteem-features • 8 years ago

Hello @good-karma!
Nice work on the app, it only brought up a BIG problem that made me uninstall the app. The app used up all my mobile data. After I first noticed the problem I uninstalled, and thought maybe a fresh install wouldn't have the problem :p
I was wrong :p
Could you look into this?

I now have to hop from hotspot to hotspot for more than a week. I really need mobile data this weekend :')

Good luck fixing this shitty bug.

    Thanks for screenshots! I am thinking ways to control image downloads, from my tests I can see that image downloads are taking up majority of the traffic usage. Because people add different sized images and some of them are higher than 1mb or in some cases 10mb which exhaust mobile internet usage. Caching seem to decrease and limit re-download of images, but longer term solution would be to manually download each image. Rest assured I am on it ;)
    Btw, you could try using Compact mode instead of Card mode, it should help while you are surfing through posts, but when you open post it will downloads the images.

    Thanks for the reply. Some extra info: I've only logged in to your app. It used all data in background without me doing anything.

      That's something very abnormal though!
      So you opened app and logged in and after quick surfing, closed app and that's all? Rest of the data is from background data and notifications? Hmmm

      It seems like it. Maybe it was loading the news feed in background the second time I installed the app since I could not log in due to lag. It used 2.2GB on my WiFi.

      It used the data in background, because I was far from home and had not touched the app.

      I hope this info helps.

      Yes it does, thanks! I have now implemented to disable API fetching when app is in background. Also working on Setting where user can choose to enable auto download of images or manual downloads to which user has to tap on image to see/download that image. ;)

      Nice! Really like what you're doing!
      Also one small thing annoyed me a bit: When images are still loading you're not able to scroll.
      Thanks for being awesome!
