Danny,

Can you explain why the app requires the following seemingly unnecessary permissions?

-Read phone state and identity
-Fine (GPS) location, coarse (network-based) location

There seems to be no functionality that would require either of these bits of personal information.

As far as "Read phone state and identity", I don't think that there is anything directly accessing the phone state and it can likely be removed. We will look into why it is there.

For "Fine (GPS) location, coarse (network-based) location" this is for the parking reminder. If you select the checkbox for "Save this location" the fine or coarse location will be used based on what the OS says to use.

Thanks for the info; missed that parking feature in my first run through. That will come in handy.

Too bad it's not working on my phone (D1).

Android App hasn't worked for me for several days. Is it working for anyone else?

I've been using it fairly often - working fine via HTC Incredible (soon to be ThunderBolt!) running Android 2.2. If you post your phone model, Android version, and app version, it might help Delta diagnose the issue, as sometimes apps will work with some combinations but not others.

What sort of issues have you been having? And what sort of device / OS combination are you using? If you could provide these details we can look at seeing if we can resolve the issue you are having.

Danny:

Thanks for the concern. I just uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it on my Samsung Fascinate, Android 2.1.

I was getting a force close every time I tried to log-in, but after reinstalling the app, it is working.

I too uninstalled it and then reinstalled it. I was having a problem where it would force close as it tried to auto login. All is much better but it still shows boarding passes for flights that went IRROP almost a week ago. Parking reminder picture is too small to really be effective/ useful (I know that you can zoom in but it does not take advantage of the screen size).

Overall, a nice start and I look forward to the next upgrade.

OK. So here is my gripe list with the Android app:


* Why does it always show me someone else's itinerary before showing me mine? The last time that I checked-in thru the Android app, it first showed me an itinerary BOS-MUC - which wasn't my routing at all - for someone with a different name than me. Eventually it will bring up a screen with my actual itinerary information. This happens while it is still refreshing, so I can't actually do anything with the bad itin when I see it. I don't get control back until the screen is finished refreshing and is showing me the correct itin.

It's a very weird issue. It kind of gives me the creeps.


* Android app check-in doesn't work at all with SDC. It will continue to show you your original itin even after you've SDCed to a different flight. I've never gotten to see my new flight info after an SDC to be able to do the mobile check-in.

All in all, the android app is a great addition and checking-in and generating and viewing eBoarding passes is better with the app, than with using the mobile site or the www site.

Has anyone notice how slow the App is with logging in and everything? Just wondering if the iPhone app does the same thing.

I have another strange issue with the android app:

I am booked on a DL ticket to ATL but using Air France flight numbers.
I am booked on AF1135 and AF682 but the app shows that as DL1135 and DL682 for some reason.

Same thing happened in February, i flew on an award ticket (DL) on SU to Moscow, it showed DL114 instead of SU114.

Can you confirm that the same issue doesn't also appear on the website? Many data feeds are common between the site and the app, so I'm curious if your issue is also present on the website, not directly attributable to the app.

No it shows correct as AF682 on the website and on the ticket, its just the Android app.
