I use Element. It is essential.
It works fine on my XA2 Plus, on 4.4 and 4.5. From Aptoide store.
After eight months waiting (!) i finally got mobile data on my 10iii.
Element app from Aptoide/Fdroid (no idea which) was working fine on SFOS 4.4.
Updated to SFOS 4.5 and it was still working fine.
Decided to update my apps on the 10iii - including Element - and all of a sudden the app won’t open properly.
Behaviour:
- press Element icon
- app opens full screen with loading symbol
- app then minimises to the system tray
- clicking on the system tray mini-window tries to full screen, but bounces back to minimised
- rinse and repeat.
Uninstalled and reinstalled from both Aptoide and Fdroid, same behaviour; no working element app.
Now scared to update the Element app on my old XA2 in case that borks it on that handset too!
Questions:
a) is this known behaviour, and if so is there an easy(!) fix?
b) is a a less hastle(!) matrix client that is fully compliant with Element server/chatrooms/E2E?
I’m on an emotional rollercoaster with SFOS at the moment, and I’m getting pretty tired of the experience. I simply can’t investing this much time and energy trying to get a phone to do basic phone things like talk to people…
