network access problem with 1.1.18 preview 3

Tiggit has a problem initiating network access information, and as a result fails to connect to mail servers. When tiggit attempts to download mail you will see a stream of messages at the bottom of the screen flashing by, but no connection will be made.

To work around this problem, Go to Manage Connections and turn off the cellular connection and then turn it on again. Tiggit mail will now recognise your cellular connection properly.

This problem will be fixed in the next preview.

Reply-all problem fixed in preview 3

Preview 3 of 1.1.18 is now ready for download. This preview includes the long awaited fix for the reply-all problem (tiggit mail not responding to the reply all menu item). This build also rationalises some of the difficulties with the new connections API from RIM and difficulties with WiFi connections. It also makes IMAP sessions more reliable when using online Sent and Draft folders.

One great feature of 1.1.18 is its new resilience to dropping cellular connections. This afternoon I was on a train and tiggit managed the dropping cellular connection as we travelled, including going through tunnels. I have also tested sending a message whilst on the tube, and confirming that tiggit automatically send the message once it recovered signal, having left the tube station.

Here is the full list of changes

• network string “blank” value now only applies to cellular connections
• tiggit now autoselects properly between cellular and wifi connections, favouring wifi over cellular, and reports availability of networks on status line
• no longer uses deviceside=false for MDS connections
• only applies service book details to cellular connections
• improved network availability checking
• fixed problem with default character set
• fixed problem where reply-all menu item does not work
• improved IMAP session handling for sent folders
• adds double click action to file chooser when attaching files to messages

Storm and Storm-2 crash problem resolved

This is worthy of a post on its own: Tiggit mail, under certain configurations, causes the Storm and the Storm 2 to crash for no apparent reason. When the Storm is configured to use direct soscket connections – no tunnel – it would crash within about an hour of starting. This is obviously not really workable, however tiggit was rock solid on a Storm with tunnel selected, so I guess this was a good enough work around.

I had not been able to isolate this problem as I had to use my Storm (it is configured for BES) with the tunnel, and so it really was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Recently I bought a Storm-2 to resolve problems with Tiggit Controller on Storm-2, these still remain un-fixed, but tiggit mail crashed my Storm 2, which at least gave me the ability to isolate the problem.

The problem was to do with the re-use of timers, and in particular the autoload timer. There is an immediate work-around for those using 1.1.17 and before:

set sendReceive Period to zero

This will stop the autoload timer being initiated which is what causes the problem – the same timer being initiated twice (don’t ask why).

More adventurous people might care to try preview 2 of 1.1.18 which contains this fix.
