A minor thing but an odd one.

Since updating to 2.9.14 when I open PT it does not check for new Versions nor does it update my Podcasts. It loads and then goes straight to "No Downloads in Queue" status.

2.9.13 at least checked into VersatileMonkey on startup which is how I got prompted that 2.9.14 was available. I did a manual Update All and there were several podcasts out there waiting to be collected. I will keep an eye on it at midnight since that is when it is scheduled to check for new downloads. But I always did like that PT would also check for new downloads at startup. Unless I'm mistaken about how it worked up until now?

Hmm, I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for letting me know.

Updated to 2.9.15 tonight. Started PT and it immediately updated all my Podcasts. Looks like a fix to me. Thanks Marcus!

OK. Here's the deal. I have my Storm set to only download podcasts while charging. What I'm seeing now is probably an odd glitch with BB OS5 and not PT maybe?

So I take my phone off the charger at home and it is 100% charged. I drive 45 minutes to work. Phone still shows 100% charged but I plug it into my AC charger at work and open PT expecting it to start downloading new podcasts when it opens. Sometimes my Storm has not been on the charger all night and is therefore not 100% fully charged when I get to work.

So here are my observations.

If the Storm still shows 100% full battery when I plug it in at work then the charging circuit does not activate. When I open PT it does not "see" the Storm charging because the charging circuit is idle and PT immediately drops into "No Downloads in Queue" status.

Any time the battery is BELOW 100% full and I plug it in I see the "lightning bolt" indicating the charging circuit is active and when I open PT during this condition it immediately detects the device is on the charger and begins downloading/refreshing podcasts as expected during a charging cycle.

I hope that all makes sense. I think I'm going to change my setting in PT to allow downloads while running on battery and see what happens.

This is one I've heard a few times, but can't reproduce. PodTrapper is listening for battery events, but apparently there are devices or OS versions out there that don't fire a battery event if you plug in but the battery is already full, so PodTrapper can't 'see' when this happens.

What model and OS are you on?

Hi Marcus. It's in my sig ... Storm 1 OS 5.0.419 ... it works fine now. I've set PT to allow downloads on battery not just charger. I'm glad I wasn't hallucinating.
