Have you linked your new installation of pingdroid with your ping.fm account? If not, login to ping.fm and get your mobile key from http://ping.fm/key/

Let me know if you have any issues with this process.

This is one of the features in the upcoming version. Thank you for your patience.

Bryan Waters replied on October 15, 2009 04:33 to the question "Updates?" in pingdroid.com:

Yes it is...very much so. The app has been rewritten to improve handling of volatile network connections and has several net features. The release had been delayed due to a coordinated effort with Ping.fm to address shortcomings of the mobile wireless network. These issues have been resolved and the final touches are being put on the interface now.

Any suggestions are always appreciated! Thanks for asking about Pingdroid.

There doesn't seem to be a problem with the site but I have personally had trouble accessing the site from my G1 before as well. This doesn't happen all the time but if you can get to a desktop computer, you can get your key and enter it get Pingdroid working. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

Karina,

This is an issue with the way Ping.fm handles login. Try clearing your cookies in your browser and go back to ping.fm to try again and see if this resolves the issue. If not, please post your results here and we'll help you resolve the issue.

and yes...you were right ;-)

Bryan Waters replied on August 17, 2009 19:44 to the question "picture attachement ok but no geographic location found in the post" in pingdroid.com:

exactly how the location works is different for each network. It updates twitter location and your brightkite location but does nothing on most networks...i'm working on getting a feature map of what feature works on each network. I'll let you know as soon as I have something for you...

Bryan Waters replied on August 02, 2009 19:45 to the question "What email do I use to login?" in pingdroid.com:

Alexandria,

First you need to sign up for a ping.fm account at http://ping.fm/

Once you've done that, you will want to add one or more of your social networking sites to ping.fm

When you are ready, get your mobile key (http://ping.fm/key/) and use that enable pingdroid and you are ready to go.

If you have any trouble at any point, come back here and i'll be glad to help you!

Good luck!

This is a known issue and will be solved in the next release of Pingdroid. We are working on getting the public beta released in the next couple of weeks.

Bryan Waters replied on June 22, 2009 19:34 to the question "Android (G1) Force Close PingDroid Issue when Uploading Photo to Facebook & Twitter" in pingdroid.com:

Brett, Thanks for taking the time to write this up.

1) do you have any other apps that are also force closing?

2) does Pingdroid force-close when the "app closer" is not running? Or can you try "excluding" pingdroid from the close list for your app closer?

3) around the time when Pingdroid started closing, what else happened to your phone? App installs? Any upgrades?

Aside from that, I can tell you that we are working on a dramatically improved version of Pingdroid that will be coming out in Beta soon. See the following announcement for details and for signing up for the beta if you are interested. We'd love to have you help us with this issue.

Cynthia,

I hear about this on a few systems but we do have a large number of users who aren't experiencing these sort of issues...

A couple of questions.

1) do you have other apps that behave the same way?

2) do you have a large number of apps installed on your phone?

3) what version of the OS are you using? Use the following to get this info:

Home -> Menu -> Settings -> About Phone and look for the "Firmware Version".

4) do you have an SD card in your phone? If so, is it full?

5) Are you using a dev phone or a carrier provided phone?

I'm very sorry you are having the issues you are describing and if you would be willing too, we will work with you to resolve them but it may require some back and forth communication. One way or another, Pingdroid will evolve and become more feature rich and robust so please give us a chance again if you decide not to continue using the product.

Also, we are about to go into beta with a new version of Pingdroid that I definitely recommend if you are using the 1.5 version of the Android OS.

Thank you for your patience.

Ryan,

Like Sean mentioned, the photo posting issue you experienced this weekend was temporary and is now resolved.

Regarding the issue with Pingdroid sometimes posting broken images, that is a fix that is included in the upcoming cupcake release of Pingdroid. We are in the final stages of testing and are including a feature of the Ping.fm api that will hopefully fix once and for all the image posting issue with Pingdroid.

Thanks for your patience!

A comment on the question "Corrupt/incomplete images triggering ping.fm updates" in pingdroid.com:

The release for this fix is near completion. It includes cupcake related features and is still in testing. Almost there...thank you for being patient. – Bryan Waters, on June 07, 2009 15:37

Bryan Waters replied on June 06, 2009 03:08 to the question "How do I use PingDroid to automatically open the Facebook mobile site instead of the the full desktop site?" in pingdroid.com:

I'll see what I can do. We have a new release coming out for Cupcake and this might be an easy feature to include. By the way Mark, are you running cupcake on your android phone? Version 1.5 of android?
