Updates to JW Library (iOS, Android, Windows)

[jwhess]

It is not working for me today.  If I  grab the far right side and drag, I get the next screen over (downloaded).  If I press and drag the top edge downward I get my tablets "settings"  menu box.  I tried 2 finger swipes and fast and slow.  I tried the little 'twist' swipe that works on my Windows tablet sometimes.  I have no results at all.

You have to grab the far right side on the very edge of the screen in the white part and do a quick snap down.  Like you are calling up the scroll button kinda.

My guess would be that, since all available publications in English are already listed in the publication section, there are not any "new " ones 

[shali]

They used to list all the video's that you hadn't yet downloaded in that area but perhaps they just want you to search for them by "type" now.  They are all still there, just in their respective areas and not as easily seen as they were when in the publications areas.

Kinda like this?  Mine still works. Lo Nuevo is Spanish for What's New.

^^^ yah, - that's what's missing lately..

Must be a problem for just the English language

actually, I just noticed that anywhere I swipe on the white screen in the "what's new" of the publications section will cause it to refresh, doesn't matter what direction I swipe either.

Thank you Miss "glass is half full!" That's how we should think!!!

[shali]

Perhaps note taking and underlining in the study pane is on the horizon!

Works fine for me on iOS and Windows. Android problem or am I late to the party?

[shali]

Seems to be a purely Android problem.  We've been having more than our fair share lately it seems.

And the famous "Convention Releases" section appeared under by type. (Nope, not touching it until August 26-28)

 

 

 

 

Total respect for you brother. I have to wait 7 more weeks for my RC!  It's hard but I know I can wait.

My CO is visiting us now. He has a lumia 640XL (windows phone 8.1)

Now the jw library app is saying that he needs windows 10 in order that the app can be updated

How can he update to win10?

In settings/updates it says the system is up to date...

If it is a carrier branded handset the update schedule is controlled by the carrier/network. If it is an unbranded SIM-Free handset the update schedule is controlled by Microsoft. 
 

If an update is not available there is a way he can install Windows 10 on the device: He can download the Windows Insider app from the Windows Store and join the preview program. Once he has done that he will be able to update to the latest available version of Windows 10 available.

Thanks, I'll try that

I wonder why the app requires windows 10 if it isn't yet available from Microsoft...

The rollout for Windows 10 Mobile is gradual and will take several months. Some carriers will not even offer it as an upgrade on some handsets. Updating phones is not as simple as PCs. If only ;-)

 

The new JW Library app is likely built on a platform only supported by W10.

Go to the Store and search for Upgrade advisor. Install it. Open the app. The app will check if your Phone is Windows 10 mobile ready. If so, you can upgrade to Windows 10. So far it works fine on my Nokia 735.

If I am not mistaken, the message is that the NEXT update will require Windows 10.

 

It is highly likely that the next true update will not be until after Win 10 is readily available for most devices.

All this competition between Apple users and Android users reminds me of the passionate debates between Apple II users and Commodore 64 users in the early 1980's. Then the debates between Apple MacIntosh users and PC users in the 1990's.

Really, guys. It's not just getting old, it is ancient history. In the end, you like what you buy or you buy something different next time.
