Hello!I'm a backgrounds guy, so I like to use the Translucent board for aesthetic reasons.Overview:However, the last times my cache data was cleared, I've been facing some trouble to change the Board back to Translucent. (When clearing cache, the Theme config is gone, except for the custom BG image)But today I tried changing it back and just couldn't.I can change it to all other Themes, except the one I was using before I cleared cache. That might be the case instead of the bug being for the Translucent theme itself. Pieces, sounds and BG Image can all be changed back, as supposed to.Environment:I am using Redmi Note 4 and my Android version is 7.0 NRD90M.Steps to Reproduce:• Choose a Theme Board• Clear Cache• Go to Theme > Custom > BoardResult:The Board is set as the previously chosen one, however it goes back to classical. When trying to change it to another Board, this is possible, however, when changing to the Board that was set before cache clearance, instead of going back to it the classical Board is displayed.Expected Result:It should show my Themes or at least be possible to change it back.Suggestion:Perhaps if you'd set a var for each different Sound, Piece Style and Board, it would prevent this from happening if one logged in after clearing cache. I don't know how these things work technically, but logically with an auto checking at the start of the app it could collect a member's previous vars and set the Theme to the one which was chosen before cache clearing.A confirmation message might be interesting for the person to acknowledge that this will occur.
Has anyone else experienced a display issue like the below when scrolling through the menu on Android. I'm on v3.6.2-19641, which I believe is close to the latest.
Anyone have issues with Android app in Pixelbook? Problem seems to be centered around the sliding pane of the vertical menu bar. I can use the default icons such as the tactics trainer.

Hi guys, We're getting some reports of people having trouble signing into Live Chess using Android tablets (like the Xoom or Galaxy Tab), and we're trying to figure out how widespread this is... If you have an Android tablet and play (or try to play) Live Chess via our app, please shout out in this forum! Is it working for you - or not? What kind of tablet are you using and does it matter how you are connecting (3g vs wifi)? Many many thanks if you can take a minute to add your thoughts!!
I posted in the Google+ group too but I received the notification while doing some tactics that the app version was no longer supported so I updated. After updating, still getting the message and unable to do tactics. So cleared the cache. Same issue. Cleared data, can't log in and the same message. Uninstall/Reinstall, same.

@Spacebux is reporting in https://www.chess.com/forum/view/suggestions/express-if-you-like-or-do-not-like-the-new-version-of-the-site?page=251 that the Android app has the analysis options on by default ("Show Threats", "Show Blunders", "Show Best Moves") and that this is therefore encouraging people to use the analysis during a Live Chess game.   I don't have an Android device myself to verify this, so I thought I would ask about it here.
Would it be possible to add the current layout of the board after the move in the notification slider? Thanks
Posting in the forums from the beta app places a gp> in front of the posts. I guess it may also impact the regular app too. I have been seeing it in the forums recently.

My current wish list for the Android app: 1. Allow entry of a time control of G/90+30 via custom. Right now 60 minutes is the limit for the app. 2. Allow color selection as is allowed via the web interface. both of the above needed for organized slow chess play via the app 3. Allow seeing the new V3 club tournaments (and coming soon live matches). 4. Allow seeing in progress tournaments so you can see the games as with the web interface. 5. Add regular time control options for offline computer play.

Hi, I've posted about this in the Help & Support forum, but thought I would try here as it may have more Android users. https://www.chess.com/forum/view/help-support/android-app-will-not-let-me-change-pieces-or-board-color Text from the above link pasted below for your convenience.

I'm using an Android 4.4.2 tablet with the latest Chess.com app. When I select the Custom theme, under the Pieces and Board menus I see no previews of piece types, and when I select one it hangs forever with a "Downloading Pieces/Board" notification. This needs to be fixed.
And one more item, which I am missing on Android, is showing, what type of game it is ... if it is tournament, friendly or club game. In addition I would benefit from possibility to somehow highlight important games - ie with different background, so it can stop me and force me to spend more time and avoid doing some quick blunder.
Another item, which I am missing besides conditional moves is vote chess. One reason, why I am not playing this type of chess (although it is interesting) is that it is available only on web version, which I am using much less than Android.

When playing non vacation tournaments, you can still make moves for the tournament games in a browser. However, on the phone app, you can not!It says "You are on holidays". That sounds like a bug...
Hi, Since I've downloaded the app, I've noticed that the times have been very off, and I start getting 8 hour left warning when there is more than a day on my games. One time I pulled up the website on a computer and the app on my phone (S6 Edge) and on the phone it said 13 hours left and on the computer it was 21. I would really appreciate some help on this! Thanks!
Would it be possible to disable the green LED blinking notification while still keeping the status bar notification?
So I got a challenge to a turn-based game, I tried to decline it on my android app, and what happened? - instead of declining the challenge, I "resigned" the first game on the top: http://www.chess.com/echess/game?id=94564360 Generally I've had a lot of problems with bugged, disappearing, doubled games, but it's the first time that I lost a game because of that. Can anything be done about that, and can we hope that it will ever be repaired?
When it's my move and I get the alert on my phone, I sometimes ignore it and go to my laptop and make my move. Then I get rid of the chess.com notification on my phone. However, the next time I get a notification on my phone, it shows me I have to make a move in 2 games, even though I already made my move in one of the games so I only have 1 game to make a move in. Is there any way to make sure that the notifications I get are only for the games I still have to make a move on, and not all the games that my opponents have made a move on since I last opened the chess.com app. Sorry if that was hard to understand. Here is what I see when I open up my notifications: However the only game I actually I have to make a move in is the first one. Is there any way to make it so it will only show me the first game and not all of them?
