Variables not syncing name

Featured Replies

I just discovered the same issue on trying to setup new UD Mobile install on the Android OS. Everything claimed to sync, but discovered this on setting up the first favorite. If I discover any reasons for this I will post or eagerly wait experts response.

It's happening to me also but only for recently added variables (created within the last 2 weeks on version 6.0.3) - now on 6.0.4.

Yes, this is what I am experiencing. I also have noticed that doing a sync is nothing like it used to be. It is taking very little time, not going through anywhere near all the flashing names of stuff that it used to, and when it "finishes" it isn't giving me the usual finished screen with the option to delete unused values.

Yes, however there is now a several seconds long delay where the screen stays blank when you first fire up the app and when your device list appears, device statuses are already updated. Sounds like there is a silent sync of the displayed devices during that blank time. Not a bad idea really if that's the intent.

@Guy Lavoie I think you are referring to status update. I am speaking of syncing the devices themselves (adding/removing/etc), not their current status.

But in my case, I'm not noticing any difference in status populating upon opening. When I open the app, things populate like popcorn, sorting of randomly about.

I've also noticed that, though I've only done it once or twice since that change
