The app is laggy on my Xiaomi Mi 9.

Device model: Mi 9
MIUI version: MIUI GLobal 11.0.9 Stable | 11.0.9.0 (QFAEUXM)
Android version: 10 QKQ1.190825.002
Android security patch level: 2020-04-01

I used the latest release. Transfers work correctly, the slowness is on the animations of the UI (top-right button, background waves).

I have the latest version of Kiwi Browser and Firefox installed, as well as a stock version of the Chrome browser.

So, I have both the web app and android app of snapdrop but the web app is having a dark mode but this isn't having that even after I download the latest update.

When sending a text message from another device to snapdrop app on Android a pop-up appears showing text (ok) but text cannot be copied to clipboard by pressing button. Using snapdrop browser version works correctly

Samsung S7, Android 8

I connect from Firefox on the same Wifi network to my phone and send a 66MB .opus file. Everything seems to work fine until the transfer circle completes and then the app crashes and the file never makes it to my download folder.

It seems to work fine with tiny text files, but a 66MB audio file is enough to crash the app.

This is on a Moto G7 running Android 9 stock.

When the app is moved to background and reopend (onResume) the keyboard pops up

What do you think about running a service in order to allow constant communication? Kind of what i'm doing with the Firefox Addon.

Use-Case:
Send something from desktop and recieve pushnotification instead of opening the app.

I dont know how serverly this might affect battery, so it should be optional.

The website should contain:

• a download link to the recent apk
• step by step instal guide
• release note and version history

...feel free to extend this list

The sending of files between two snapdrop apps seams to be very slow. Looks a bit like RobinLinus/snapdrop#123

That was simply information about what is still possible. You would then only have to enter the screenshots in fastlane.

Describe the bug
Usually when i try to share a file and select the device that i'm going to be sending to, SnapDrop freezes.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Select a file in the app/gallery
2. Click on share via Snapdrop
3. Snapdrop opens
4. select the device that you want to send to, and animation freezes

Expected behavior

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. iOS]
• Browser [e.g. chrome, safari]
• Version [e.g. 22]

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: Asus Zenfone 6
• OS: Android 11 (stock)
• Browser Firefox
• Version 1.6.0

Additional context
Sometimes it starts working if i go into the menu and back...

The following steps are necessary:

• Create preference fragment and include it to about activity
• Make about activity accessible from within snapdrop UI

see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3300137/how-can-i-refresh-mediastore-on-android

Bug report via support mail:

On the phone it says on the main screen "Tap to send files or long tap to send a message" - which is correct.
But on the tablet it is showing the message I'd expect to see on a PC, it says, "Click to send files or right click to send a message" It's not easy to right click on an Android touchscreen!
Long-pressing does work... It's just the instructions that are wrong.

I have a Pixel XL and Windows Chome.
Sending files to each device is OK, but messages can't be received. Nothing happens even no failure notification.

This guy wants it, could be a cool feature, I can get around to implement it later issue on the original snapdrop repo

I really love to open snapdrop via the share menu with a file pre-selected. Now I would like to build the same solution for iOS. It's no problem to open the app from the share menu but I don't know how I would preselect a file so that it is directly sent to the peer when clicked. I only found this line when a string is shared, but how do you handle files? I can't find the place where you submit the file url to snapdrop...

#89 bumps storage from 0.5.3 to 0.6.0. However, some more adoptions seem to be necessary to get it running. Should we update to this version?

Maybe pointing this out as a short hint ("Note: The app might have problems sharing files/messages when using VPN. If you encounter this, try without VPN.")?

Suggested in https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/9080

The startup animation currently looks a bit strange when dark mode is activated, but that's a bit more complicated and a new release version will be needed to fix this... I will create a follow-up issue!

If i click on the share link option in firefox (android) the sapdrop app doesnt appear

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not exactly, actually I thought that there must be a logs section in the app(maybe a section in settings)as it may help the collaborators to reproduce the issues easily and fastly

Describe the solution you'd like
I think a section devoted to logs should be in the app, as it will help to analyse the problem easily.

An option to alert user via phone vibration when the file transfer is complete.

could you add support for custom server URL ? I use my own snapdrop with docker on my local network.
thanks

I just installed the app and it says "Please verify that you are connected to a WiFi network". However, I have already enabled hotspot. It should use device hotspot instead of asking for another WiFi connection.

Crashes with 'Aw, Snap!' when trying to save.

This problem has just started after a recent Google Chrome update. When trying to transfer files from my PC to an Android device they appear to transfer but then the save fails.

Yesterday I overcame the problem by using MS Edge and all went well. Today my MS Edge also had an update and now that fails.

I then tried Firefox Quantum and that still works.

Thanks,

Len

Preferably only while transferring data, but this is just nice to have and not really needed IMHO... Always on should be fine for now

After the recent update with the js injection right into the original snapdrop.net i often encounter the app in a state where it is just displaying the page without the js injections, which of course messes up functionality like copying.
I suspect that it may have something to do with loadAgain it seems somewhat hacky to me, could you explain why you implemented it and if it could be removed?

This often appears when started new (onCreate) and i'm sometimes able to fix it by moving the app to the background and then to the foreground again (onResume).

If device is connected to LAN via ethernet (e.g. Android TV) or device has created a wifi hotspot then snapdrop app simply reports that you have to be connected with a wifi network to use it. I consider this as a bug as in both cases device is inside a LAN. Browser version of snapdrop correctly waits/scans for devices

The website will currently always occur in English. Only settings, etc. are localized. We maybe should try to change this in new versions. Contributions welcome ;)

On Network state change: Trigger reload when the loaded website is "You are offline page"

To have an easier update process, better findability, crash reports in the play console and much more nice features it would make sense to upload the app to the play store.

I will ask @RobinLinus if it's ok for him...

The default location for Snapdrop is Download. But as a user, it is better if I can select a custom directory to save downloaded files, e.g. Video, Received, or Snapdrop. I don't want to mix Download's content with the files downloaded from Chrome, Firefox, etc. I hope this feature will be added to Snapdrop settings. BTW, it could be easier on scoped storage if you use SimpleStorageHelper to pick the save location.

Describe the bug
When the Website Snapdrop.net is not accessible the App just shows the typically browser error.

Currently it looks like this:

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Snapdrop.net is down
2. open the app and wait for some seconds

Expected behavior
An app-looking error message.

In the newest play update, the darkmode doesnt seem work anymore, it does work in my PR tough, strange, isn't it?

Can you please build the Snapdrop app just like the Clipt app that was recently released by Oneplus team!!
I love snapdrop and want to stick with it, snapdrop just lacks the seamlessness, please take inspiration from the Clipt app, would love to see the change.
Please add a feature so that the app directly send the text from clipboard to the other device just like that on Clipt, without having to open the app, and vice versa.

Recently, Snapdrop for Android has been added to Crowdin, which makes it much easier to participate in translation.

If you want to help, but your favorite language is not yet available, just add a small comment in this issue and write in which language you want to translate Snapdrop, and I will activate the language for you as soon as possible!
