[closed] AQ logo replaced by Android; SD card must be removed
Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2014 8:14 pm
I'm guessing that this is still another irritating restriction from the Google/Samsung/mobile service provider people, following on the Android 4.4 changes, but...
1) The AlpineQuest logo that normal identifies the app disappeared from my screen, replaced by a generic Android icon. AlpineQuest remained functioning.
2) I can no longer access my gizmo as a USB device on my computer, but must remove its SD card in order to transfer data between my computer and the AlpineQuest storage. I recognize that this is not directly a problem for AlpineQuest, but, if, as I am guessing, this is another change instigated by Google/Samsung/et al, I am hoping that developers of affected apps may have more influence than I have in getting the problem fixed. The key point is that AlpineQuest (and, I presume other similar apps) is considerably harder to use than it was previous to these changes.
I am using a Galaxy S III, Android 4.4.2.
Thank you for your consideration.
