iStudiez Pro Blog » resolved problem http://istudentpro.com/blog (former iStudent Pro) latest news from the developers Sat, 28 Jan 2012 14:03:49 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 iStudiez Pro for Mac version 1.0.5 available in the Mac App Store http://istudentpro.com/blog/2011/10/istudiez-pro-for-mac-version-1-0-5-available-in-the-mac-app-store/ http://istudentpro.com/blog/2011/10/istudiez-pro-for-mac-version-1-0-5-available-in-the-mac-app-store/#comments Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:01:48 +0000 iStudiez Pro Team http://istudentpro.com/blog/?p=819 First we would like to apologize before those of you who experienced problems with sync in previous version of the app. Here is what we’ve done to address existing issues:

  • Fixed “Sync from Mac” behavior
  • Added Sync to Server command allowing to force sync to the server all the data available in iStudiez Pro for Mac
  • Fixed problem when the app loses data after quitting
  • Fixed GPA calculation based on Percent Grading Scale

IMPORTANT: those users who lost the app data on their iOS devices after updating to version 1.0.4, but still have the data on their Macs will need to use new command Sync to Server. Here is what you need to do:

  1. From the iStudiez Pro menu bar, choose Data
  2. While in Data menu, press and hold Option button on your keyboard
  3. You will see the command Sync To Server appearing in Data menu, click it

This will force sync all the data currently existing on your Mac to the server. After you sync on your iOS devices, you will be able to see all data back there.
ALSO NOTE: this solution will only help those who did not create any new Cloud Sync accounts in iStudiez Pro and who are currently using iStudiez Pro for Mac where all the data is present.

Short-lasting semesters could be created with not problem at all.

Funny that we could in no way reproduce this on our devices. We got to the idea that it might be territory related bug when we paid attention to the names of the users who sent us their complaints: after short investigation it appeared that all of them are located in the countries of Latin America (Brazil, Peru, Chile). Some more investigations, and we found out it was related to the daylight savings specifics in the Latin America.

There were more bugs reported by you and we appreciate all your comments and valuable input. So, we fixed it and submitted critical updates for both iOS and Mac versions.

iPhone/iPod and iPad version:

  • Fixed occasional crash on start after recent update
  • Fixed crash while creating regular schedule
  • Fixed crash related to overnight performance of the app
  • Fixed occasional crash while syncing
  • Fixed occasional crash in Calendar

Mac version:

  • Fixed crash related to overnight performance of the app
  • Fixed crash while creating regular schedule
  • Fixed occasional crash while syncing
  • Fixed weekdays control view for Lion

NOTE: if you experience any of the problems described above, do not delete the app, just wait for the update.

UPDATE: iStudiez Pro for Mac version 1.0.3 and iStudiez Pro 1.5.3 now available in the App Store.

Just to let you know that we fixed the non-saving of locations/rooms/building in iStudiez Pro as well as occasional crash on iPhone 3G and iTouch 2G when launching the app or loading data backup.

We would like to address specially those who experience crashes on launch: please DO NOT reinstall the app, your data will not be lost and will be ok with the update.

We are sorry for the inconveniences brought by update 1.4.4

So we fixed:

  • Ghost notifications
  • Crash while importing instructors from Contacts
  • Crash while viewing/tapping holidays in Calendar
  • Bug with delayed refresh of App Icon Badge

We’ll of course include some interesting new options in our next updates, we listed all the requests that you have sent to us so far in the order of preference and will do our best to introduce the most crucial and attractive first.

]]> http://istudentpro.com/blog/2010/08/version-1-4-2-submitted-to-the-app-store/feed/ 22 A Time Zone bug http://istudentpro.com/blog/2010/07/a-time-zone-bug/ http://istudentpro.com/blog/2010/07/a-time-zone-bug/#comments Sat, 10 Jul 2010 15:57:42 +0000 iStudiez Pro Team http://istudentpro.com/blog/?p=433 Version 1.4. is out to the App Store and we’ve received several complaints about the weird bug that appears when setting the time for classes: instead of AM the app’s showing PM time or time shifts all the time depending on your location.

We’ve taken a close look to the issue and it appeared that in iOS 4 the time zone support is not working the same way it used to in iOS 3.1.2. It is not what you call a nice surprise, but we can deal with it.

Now, if you are among those who experience this problem please do the following: go to Settings App > General > Date and Time and make sure that Set Automatically is ON.

We assume doing this way will fix the issue.

Meanwhile we’are submiting a quick fix to the App Store.
ALSO, the fix will solve the problem for those who use iPhone 3G and experience crashes after the update. Crashes are caused by local push notifications option which eats more memory (but save your traffic actually).
