This morning's Morning and Evening devotional passage (March 15) is 2 Tim 2:1.

Touch the link and greek pops up. Oops :)

Further checking:

  • Same thing yesterday morning, Mar 14, 1 Cor 10:12
  • OK March 13th

So, more than one example of the same bug.

Can anyone else replicate this?

    Today's Morning & Evening has the same problem. A bit of a pain -- no easy way to jump to the reference in English!

    Hi Pete

    Sounds as though you have a Greek New Testament prioritised above an English translation.

    This is consistent with March 13 working ok as the reading there was from the Old Testament.

    What prioritisation of resources do you have on your desktop system?

    Sorry, I should have added that there are currently issues with prioritisation on the desktop system filtering through to the mobile apps so, even if this is the problem, it may not be easy to fix

    If that's the problem, then there are more issues than just priority-flow-through.

    NA26 (Nestle Aland NT) was in 8th place, behind every English Bible other than the outdated NASB (not-95) and AV. I don't use either one of those, so never considered this an issue.

    I've now checked further....

    1) You are correct that OT references are fine, NT are not.

    2) The OT references link to NASB (old version)

    Not sure what to try next. If changes to my priority list don't flow through to the 'droid, I may be stuck for a while.

    Hi Pete

    From your comments about  OT references, it sounds like your Android environment is treating the old NASB before Bibles you would expect to see first.

    Can you show the prioritised list (in order) for your first 8 Bibles?

    Sure!

    NKJV (New KJ)
    NASB95 (NASB current)
    NIV84 (NIV old version; what I own)
    AMP (Amplified)
    NLT (New Living)
    The Message
    GW (God's Word)
    AV (Authorized Version = KJ)
    NA26 (Nestle Aland 26th Edition Greek)
    *NASB (old NASB, now removed from the list completely)

     

    NOTES:

    1) This is my adjusted priority list, following your suggestion. The results have not changed

    2) What I adjusted: removed old NASB, thus moving NA26 to the bottom of the list. (I have other resources below these; Bibles are at the top of my overall list.)

     

    As you can see, if priorities mean anything at all in the 'droid app, I have no reason to expect to see Greek coming up in a Bible reference. :-D

    Hi Pete, thanks for that.

    Yes, I agree that if prioritisation were to flow through properly this should work. However, my experience is that it is not reliable and it can take weeks for a prioritisation change on the desktop to filter through to the Android environment.

    The only thing I can think of is that at some stage when you were setting up prioritisation the Greek was above the others and this one "stuck" and the modifications have not filtered through.

    I can't think of anything to do to fix this until either prioritisations and preferences are being synchronised properly or until we have the ability to specify a preferred Bible within the application (which you can currently do on the iOS app).

    I have no idea when either of these will be available in the Android environment.

    Sorry I don't have better news.

    Greek has always been below most of the bibles on my list.

    My conclusion: priorities are simply buggy at this time in the Android app.

    Unfortunately I have to agree with you!

    Hi Pete,

    Have you ever used Logos on iOS and prioritized a Bible through Settings?

  • Pete Holzmann
    Pete Holzmann Member Posts: 115

    No... but I probably could if that might help / help test!

  • Kevin Byford (Faithlife)

    Something strange has happened with your account.  I checked the resource server and a Greek New Testament (I can't recall the LLS, I'm at home but will update this thread tomorrow) is indeed your default Bible which is why this is happening.  The Logos iOS version has an option to select a default Bible (unlike the Android version) and this overrides the Logos Desktop setting but doesn't sync back to the Desktop from what I understand, thus giving some autonomy to the mobile device.

    If you had at one time selected a Greek default Bible on iOS/Logos that might have been the cause of this issue - if not, I'm puzzled.  There is already a case for adding a default Bible function to Logos/Android but that's not helpful to you now.

    I'll see what I can do to help you tomorrow, and thanks for your patience.

    Peace to you, Pete!

              It is under "settings" that one can choose and/or change what we desire as our "preferred

    Bible.       Have you checked that out?

              Psalm 119:105

    Philippians 4:  4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand..........

    Hi Milford

    The "settings" option to select preferred Bible is currently available on iOS but not on Android.

    I only briefly loaded Logos on an iPod Touch. I don't think I ever set the default. Will find an iPod and check/set the setting if/when I can...

    Peace to you, Graham!              and ...     ...Always Joy in the Lord!

        Thanks for the correction!              Will try to be a tad more careful next time!          Good call!     *smile*

    Hi Pete,

    I didn't think of this before until reading it here - http://community.logos.com/forums/t/45097.aspx - you should try logging into Biblia.com and changing your default Bible there, and then it should sync with Android.  Let me know how this goes.

  • Pete Holzmann

    ...try logging into Biblia.com and changing your default Bible there, and then it should sync with Android.

    PERFECT!

    This is the workaround needed. THANK YOU [A] !!

    Until we can set the default Bible in the Android app, just:

    • Log in to Biblia.com, go to the library, and scroll through the bibles.
    • You will see a green check mark next to your current Preferred Mobile Bible.
    • Click on the circle to the left of any bible to make that your Preferred Mobile Bible.

    This setting applies to all mobile apps. It can be viewed/updated at Biblia.com or on iOS. Someday it will be viewable/settable on the 'droid app.
