The initial post I did was for subsurface mobile 2.1.2 but in just a
few hours 2.1.3(4.8.2.5) was pushed out.<br>
This response is for 2.1.3 but the behavior in this area seems to be
same for both 2.1.2 or 2.1.3(4.8.2.5)<br>

Will the app remember the cloud sync setting if the app
was installed with it enabled and the app is upgraded?<br>
Seems like it should.<br>

<div>Unless you purge the current installation before
installing the new version the setting should be remembered.</div>

<p>Here is an odd and unexpected sync behavior that I'm
seeing.<br>
</p>
26 dives were downloaded directly from the dive computer
using my GS7. (using a debug version of 4.8.1 that I
built)<br>
</div>

<div>Did you download the dives before or after activating
your cloud account on the device? <br>

<br>
Original dive computer downloading was done last summer during some
other testing when I was trying to get the Pelagic data cables to
work with subsurface mobile.<br>
Now that I think about it, these dives were originally downloaded on
a linux desktop not the GS7 and synced to the cloud.<br>
During that testing, these 26 dives were being download from both a
linux desktop and a GS4 and testing was being done with and without
cloud syncing.<br>
Often I would remove the app to start clean with cloud sync disabled
to force all the dives to be re-downloaded on both the desktop and
mobile.<br>
<br>
However, during recent testing, with Subsurface mobile 4.8.1 I also
downloaded them on the GS7 with cloud sync disabled.<br>
I had to disable cloud sync to ensure that the dives would actually
be transfered from the dive computer.<br>
So I have done it both ways with various app installations.<br>
<br>

<div>That is strange, if you fully remove the app all local
data should be removed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When you then start the app you should be greeted with
the landing page where you have the choise of typing in your</div>
<div>cloud credentials or start in "No cloud mode".</div>
<div>If you pick "No cloud mode" the divelist that loads
should be empty.</div>
<div>If you type in your cloud credentials on the first start
up, it should pull everything from the cloud before the
divelist is shown.</div>

That isn't what I'm seeing.<br>
The GS7 (Android 8.0.0) and the GS4 (Android 4.4.4) have different
behaviors.<br>
GS7 remembers things between uninstall and re-install.<br>
GS4 seems to start clean and work like you mentioned after removing
the app and re-installing.<br>
<br>
On the GS7 (Android 8.0.0), If I install the app, uninstall it and
re-install it<br>
I sometimes see a very brief flash of the landing/cloud credentials
page and then it displays the dive list with the add dives icon at
the bottom of the screen.<br>
And the original local 26 dives are showing.<br>
If I go to the Dive management dialog, Enable auto cloud sync is
checked and cloud credentials are already in place.<br>
I can click on Manual sync with cloud and the other 30 dives are
pulled in. It remembers the cloud account and password.<br>
I can repeat this over and over again, installing 2.1.3, seeing 26
dives, doing a cloud sync to get the other 30 dives, uninstalling it
and re-installing, seeing the 26 dives,<br>
doing a manual cloud sync to get the other 30.<br>
So it isn't just a one time thing.<br>
This behavior is the same on the GS4 with Android 4.4.4 and the GS7
with Android 8.0.0<br>
<br>
<br>
The 4.8.1 app I built from sources and loaded from an SD card had a
different behavior.<br>
4.8.1 dropped you on the screen that asks for your cloud settings.<br>
It always came up with cloud disabled and didn't ever remember the
previously used cloud account settings.<br>
No dives showed up if you didn't enable cloud and all 56 would
immediately show up after the cloud credentials were entered.<br>
<br>
<br>
2.1.2(4.8.2.0) and 2.1.3(4.8.2.5) both bypass that cloud credential
screen on the GS7 (Android 8.0.0)<br>
(or seems to momentarily flash it) and remembers the previous cloud
settings.<br>
Including after manually uninstalling it and then re-installing it.<br>
But it doesn't seem to do an initial cloud sync when first started
and only the 26 dives show up.<br>
A manual cloud sync pulls in the other 30.<br>

<p>It appears that any dives that were synced from the

the app is re-installed.<br>
This seems really odd.<br>
Is that really the intended behavior?</p>

<div>There is a separation between local saved dives and dives
stored in the cloud.</div>
<div>You can have different cloud accounts while still having
the same local storage for the same user.</div>

<br>
So it keeps some sort of local separation internally on the device
between dives actually download from the dive computer with the
mobile device vs dives<br>
synced from the cloud? <br>
even though all the dives shows up as a single dive list after
syncing?<br>
<br>
And how does it handle things when the very same dives were
downloaded and cloud synced by multiple devices.<br>
Say locally by a mobile device *and* from another mobile device or
desktop and then synced to the cloud?<br>
