I don't know if this is the game or just my phone, but when I hit the blockade/survailance button many times very fast, it'll freeze for like 10 seconds before its says the amount of fuel left/what the date is etc. Also I may encounter more than one ship. It is to say, right after defeating a ship, another ship will pop up. Galaxy Epic 4g
Also, and I'm only putting this here because I don't want to create a second thread, how often do bounty hunters discise themselves as smugglers? I say this because I've never noticed a smuggler that has attackd me unless I attack them first. Also, you should really put in the help section that that could happen, as it culd really confuse a newbie.

I don't know what version of android I run. If you can tell me how to find out, I can tell you. I've also noticed a time delay when I press butons. Like even pressing survielence once it takes about a second for the message to come up saying whether its been successful or not. And it could be other buttons too, not just surveilence. Maybe its slow...
Oh and I meant put in the help section that bounty can discise themselves as smugglers. Assuming that's still in the game. Again I've never encountered something like that, I just read about it, so I don't know that still happens or not.

You can see your version in "Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software information"
I will look at fixing the bug with the button re-enabling too quickly on your device.
The button show grey out and stay disabled while the game calculates the turn. The idea (and the way it works on some phones) is that you cannot "spam" the button with taps.

That's the best part about Android -- every single device is a unique special case  |

I restarted my phone (shut it off and turned it on again) and its working fine. No time delays, even when pressing surveilence countinously fast. Though it has hapenned before where when you press a button countinuously (like blockade or survilence) it delays/freezes for a few seconds but I guess it only happens somtimes. Could just be my phone and not the game  Anoher thing that sometimes causes a short time delay is when you press start after waypointing a location or when a location has been waypointed for you, due to contract or pressing plot with a rumor in the the rumor page. It can take a while before the ship starts moving. But again, only sometimes |

That may be the game's simulation taking longer under certain circumstances.
Everything is estimated based on the devices I have access to -- and ST does not have permissions so it shares resources, space and memory with anything else you have running on your phone.

Hey Starfixer - what's the make/model of your phone. That'll give us an indication of what your Android version is. Oh oh ... in the Play marketplace, find an app called Quick System Info by Shawn Q It's a free app. On the second tab (labelled "applications" you can find your Android System version  |

I see the same ocasional stutter when spamming blockade or surveilance, it freezes for about 2 seconds then updates all the progress at once (I get 10 notifications and lose 10-ish water fuel).
I don't consider it to be something from ST but Android. Samsung Galaxy S on 2.3.3.

ST should be locking out the button better so the "spamming" can't build up the extra (invalid) events in the Android OS.
Android have some really horrible inconsistencies but that doesn't mean I shouldn't code ST to deal with them across all the devices we support.
As soon as I'm able to get un-burried from all these double reports / confusion about ICS I will probably have time to go back and try to look at this and get the buttons to stay disabled longer.

I have been having this problem as well.
HTZ Rezound (Verizon Stock)
Android Version: 2.3.4
STe ver: 4.5.3
This happens more for surveillance than blockade. But I'll tap, wait.. tap, wait.. tap wait... or just tap a bunch... the toasts go very long.. And I'll have 1-5 ship encounters in a row because the surveil/blockade takes so long to do it's checks.

The bug seems to be that the button re-enables WAY too soon on a lot of devices. You shouldn't be able to tap it again until the entire thing is finished. It looks like we are putting too much faith in the Android OS and the Google specifications -- time to hack up our own solution! |
