Topic: Android latest SW update
1. Author: TAFKA_Super_Petrie Date: Sun 19th Oct 2025. 12:00 Hello, Ran the latest update overnight, noticed now if you are in a thread using the back button on phone is now closing app / taking you back to home screen of the device rather than just back a page within the forum itself. Cheers --------------------------------------------------------------- [b]"People always talk about Ronaldinho and magic, but I didn't see him today.

2. Author: Milos Drizzle Date: Sun 19th Oct 2025. 12:31 Hello, this is a “feature” introduced by Google, i.e. you can now close an app by swiping right from the far left of the screen. This unfortunately interferes with the .net app. I investigated this a few weeks back, and there’s no way for me to override this behaviour (perhaps understandably). Maybe Google have sincere introduced a way to disable it in Settings? But the only definite way round it is to get used to start your side-swipe from slightly further in from the left side, and it won’t trigger Androids close-app thang. I could perhaps add a double-tap to go back, to mitigate, but that isn’t as intuitive as the back-swipe. This is my signature Reply

Hello,

Ran the latest update overnight, noticed now if you are in a thread using the back button on phone is now closing app / taking you back to home screen of the device rather than just back a page within the forum itself.

Cheers
