I just updated today. The app crashes out on me when I go to "news" and click on [downloaded] "10 resources to update." Error message: "The application Bible (process com.logos.androidlogos) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Then I have to press "force close."

This happened with the previous version too.

App info: Bible

Device: HTC Explorer

Android version 2.3.5

Thanks for the report and duplication instructions. I believe this helps explain some of the crash reports we've received but have been unable to duplicate without some additional context.

As a side note for those following along. If any Android app crashes and it was installed from Google Play it does help if you put a description of what you were doing when the app "forced closed". Google provides developers with anonyimized crash reports as well as user comments. Receiving useful user comments including what you were doing in the app when the "force close" message appears can make a big difference or at least reduce the time it takes developers to track down the source of the problem.

I have a Kindle Fire and the update will not load on Kindle Fire and the bibles are not loading either. Using logos app. Kindle Fire will not load any software that has not gone through them for testing and it does not matter if unsupported software is checked or not.

The newest version (2.2.3) has gone through Amazon for testing and been approved. You should now be able to download the 2.2.3 update via the Amazon appstore. Are you not seeing the 2.2.3 version of Bible as being available?

The only exception to this is the Vyrso app. Amazon approved the Vyrso app for general Android device availability but not for the Kindle Fire devices. If you want the Vyrso app on your Kindle Fire device you need to sideload it.

We have in the past been able to side load the various apps by turning on the "Allow Installation of Applications" under the Settings > Device options menu (on a first gen Kindle Fire). Again this should only be necessary if you want to install a beta version of the app or if you want to install the Vyrso app on your Kindle Fire based device.

John Grub

Not seeing it. It's saying I have the latest which is 2.2.

John Grub

It is showing 2.2.3 now. When I try to open these bibles I get , "An unknown error occurred opening resource" which is the NASB, KJV, ESV, NIV.

It asks to retry and nothing happens. Erased and downloaded bible again same thing.

John Grub

When I go into the about section under account it shows that version 2.1.2 (build 57). The Kindle Fire will not allow any later version than this to be downloaded or installed. I have tried the app store but Kindle will not install it.

Gabe Martin

I confirmed that the latest version is uploaded to the Amazon Appstore and verified that installing from the Appstore on a Kindle Fire 1st gen device installed version 2.2.3 as expected.

You say that you did try uninstalling the app via Settings > Applications > "Filter by Third party applications" > Bible then clicking the uninstall button?

Have you ever installed the app from the download link or always via the Amazon Appstore?

Having issues with the lemma not matching the words in the text. It happened 2 builds ago as well. It seems to get out of sync around the book of Daniel. But it's the OT & NT. I'm connected to the web in both cases (I have the L4 bible study ver.).

Build 2.2.3 (Bible)

I'm on the droid charge (2.3.6) and Galaxy tab 2 7.0 (4.0)

The other issue I have is that I can't seem to use the search on my additional books (both downloaded and online) bible search is great, but any additional books I have in the Library I can't use the search function. I don't know if this is a feature only on the desktop or does it work in Android as well.

Below is the screen capture of what I'm seeing.

Hi Ken - and welcome to the forums

I can reproduce this using the passage you show in your screenshot above. I'll create a separate thread to reference it and link back to here.

I don't understand this one. Search for other books works fine - you need to select a Basic search. Again it could be good to create a separate thread on this one so we can look into it more closely.

Make sure you have the latest version of the ESV downloaded to your device. I just did this (same passage & translation) and it worked as it was supposed to.

FYI: Book updates show under the News tab

Hi LaRosa

I don't see a News tab on Android - I do on iPad - am I missing it?

My ESV is version 1.0.710 dated 2012-11-01. What version is yours?

Graham

LaRosa Johnson

I have the same version of the ESV that you do. I checked on my Nexus 7 & my phone... And I'm running 2.2.3

Also, here's a screenshot of where the news window is & where you can find book updates (I don't have any that show unfortunately)

Ken Easterling

I will reinstall the software and library and see if it fixes it.

This is what I mean by searching.

When I pull up the menu inside a resource the search feature is 'greyed out'.

Ken Easterling

Ok reinstall of the whole program worked with the ESV (gosh I love the 4G LTE and Unlimited data!). I will try my tablet tonight. Still can't get the search to work.

Graham Criddle

Still can't get the search to work.

I see the same thing - maybe a limitation on non-Bible resources as you were suggesting

Hi Ken,

Sorry for the confusion! For future reference, there's no need to reinstall -- everything looks to be working as expected

As LaRosa said, your downloaded resources were just out of date and needed to be updated like she showed.

The menu you're showing in that screenshot is a shortcut primarily for Bible references -- e.g. in John 1:1, opening that menu gives you a citation search for John 1:1.

If you want to search for a word or phrase, open the side panel by clicking the little gray square icon at the top left of the page, and click the search icon. You can also select text by long-pressing on it, and clicking the "Search" option that appears.

Blessings!

Team Logos is it possible to at least acknowledge the issues with highlighters in the known issues of Release Notes? It has been a reported issue since the highlight feature was first implemented and no fix has been issued or even really addresses in a seerious manner. Not sure what the problem is as reported numerous times never seen it with other apps that have highlighting features.
