AndStatus bites, and the developer closes bug reports without examining them. I need a better Android client option....

@n8@identi.ca I haven't watched the AndStatus Github, but the dev seems attentive whenever I ping him on GNUsocial. 
More clients would be nice.

Curious: what don't you like?

Mainly two things. It doesn't thread conversations in any discernible manner (and if there's some magic combination of the micro-settings that does result in a readable, ordered conversation view, I don't have the time to try all the permutations possible to try and stumble into it; it's not helped by having indecipherable labels for those options. Sensible defaults are 10000x better) and it hangs on refreshing the timeline — bad enough that the Android frozen-app-executioner pops up volunteering to kill it.

And there's a lot of little UI inconsistencies, strings that need fixing, etc. But the functional stuff takes priority.

@lnxwalt@microca.st He closed mine with a "works for me". Apparently because I didn't spend two workdays testing and reporting back to him. I might could find more time to give attention to debugging the problem for him this coming weekend, but I couldn't take time off to do that when it was convenient for him, so my issue is just invalid. That's not right.
