Having problems with TBN App on my new phone

Timm250 · May 17, 2014

I have a new phone. It is a Samsung Galaxy S5. I have loaded the TBN app but I don't have a tool bar to refresh the page or make any changes to the settings such as font size & # of posts per page. If I leave the TBM app open & go to the home page & try to come back to it it reopens the app just like that I had completely closed it down. Anyone else had this problem??

On my tablet, there is a icon on the bottom of the screen that has 3 vertical dots. That opens up a menu which has a refresh button.
The reason the app is still in the same place when you come back is that it was put in background modey rather than closing. See the video below for how to close apps on your phone:

On mine I don't have the three dots & only about the top 1/3 of the icons on the tool bar are showing.

On my old phone the 3 dots didn't show all the time but when I touched the bottom of the screen they would come up.

The app doesn't close but it will reopen in a new window if I leave it & try to come back to it. I ended up having like 6 different TBN windows open at the same time.

I have sent a pm to Muhammad about this on Saturday but no response. Does anyone know who else I could pm that can help with this problem?

Still having this problem. This is what I see when I open the TBN app. It doesn't matter how I configure my display for my phone screen I still can't access the full toolbar.

First time I tried (Android tablet), the app hung on "Logging into remote site" the second time it went right and and worked properly.
Erm, the above should have been in the Android thread, not the iPhone thread :ashamed:
