Issues when clicking on an item feed in the first category, when clicking to read in more detail. Either links to another story item or just does nothing. All items and all other category are fine.
i.e Categories are my folders i have organised in google like bikes, android, footbal, technology, news, etc

I now have issues in all categories links. Example.
Open Sophie reader. Opens up first page all feeds
(no issues)

Scroll feeds are fine and also when I click on a feed to read in more detail.
(no issues)

Now when I open the left side bar to navigate my categories i.e my feeds organised in to subjects (football.news.android.bikes.etc) scrolling is fine as is when I click a subject title. example.

Click Football category title in left bar. All feeds show up fine on the right hand side bigger window and I can scroll through the list with no problems. BUT when I click on a feed to read in more detail the it will link to a wrong feed or just hang or cash. Hope this explains a bit more.

Did the version I post it make things worse? Everything goes fine until you click one item in the story list?

sorry for the quaility of the clip, but you should see what i have failed to explain! Hope it helps.

I will remove it from public view once you have had a good look it. Just tell me when!

What you will also notice is that when you press the back button after the feed has been opened in more detail, it will return to the all items, when i have been in the bikes sub feeds. The title will say BIKES but shows all items and not the bikes feeds.

Also when clicking on the item to read the feed in more detail, will result in the wrong link being shown, this is hit and miss for the correct item to show correctly.

Thank you for the video! I've got the idea of the issue you encounter. Currently working on it, hopefully I can fix it this morning. I'll post it when it is ready.

I have had a closer look at this and when i open up gReader _ All items when viewed on my computer are not mirrored on all items Sophie Reader hitting sync on both at the same time. Sophie seems to be mixed up. Timeline is wayout. I can email you some snapshots pictures from gReader/computer and sophie/phone if it helps.

Crossed posts.

I am happy to help as I like the concept. I have also noticed a few issues with big news and also when it links to Sophie. Your next fix should sort that, so I will wait till then to post any bugs I have noticed. :)

    I don't know if this is helping, I did some fixes based on Beta 15 and 14, removed the code I thought that caused some HTC and Samsung devices to failed launching the app. And in this version I temporally set JB notification to be clearable.

    Also in this version if the authentication issue comes, the app will request a relaunch and re-login.
