@GreatMarko Thanks! I have downloaded the older version. I understand that Bittorrent might not appreciate users wanting to downgrade to an earlier version, unfortunately for many users the latest 1.4 version has ceased to be an option. In my case it does not work at all (i.e no sync functionality and constant closing / auto-minimizing). There is absolutely nothing counter-productive about discarding a non-functional tool. My current choices are an older, potentially unreliable version, something else or nothing. ------ Just found version 1.3.20 attached in this thread (uploaded by a BT staff member): http://forum.bittorrent.com/topic/29527-non-google-apk-download-of-v1320/ (only 1 update behind the final 1.3 version).

@B.Jay Thanks for the offer. One of the moderators has swooped in on one of the earlier comments in this thread and suggested that "Promoting the download of BitTorrent Sync from non-official/non-recognized sources is not allowed" ,so I will wait for now. If Bittorrent cannot resolve the situation that they created (quite a few complaints are coming into the forum) there is no point in continuing to rely on their software - already some (moderators?) are pointing out that Sync should not be relied on because it is in "beta". It should be trivial for Bittorrent to offer the previous version in the Playstore, the fact that they have not and the seeming lack of communication from the their staff regarding the common issues which are being raised in the forums and review comments in the Playstore does not bode well.

Installing anything other than a PlayStore version, or something directly from Bittorrent is just not an option for me. Bittorrent is throwing their goodwill away every day these issues go unresolved. Just a matter of time before users start "1-starring" the app in the PlayStore (the only way to warn other unsuspecting android users?). I have disabled 'upgrades' on my server and desktop, because of the Internet Explorer aspect, and the absolute ridiculousness of the Android upgrade.

I second this. The new Android version of sync is non-functional for me. The interface has horrible bugs (features?) and the underlying sync just does not work.

I upgraded to to Android Sync version 1.4.36 on my Samsung GT-P6200 (tablet 7 plus), running Android 3.2. The sync interface keeps jumping back to the previous screen, or right out of the app. Using the interface is now literally impossible. This is not a problem with any other apps I use. Could you please make the earlier 1.3 version available as a "classic" version.

I am running BTSync 1.1.70 on my laptop (Win7) and my server (Ubuntu 12.04 lts, with xubuntu desktop). All up to date. I sync data on the laptop to the server (full access share), I never actually modify the files stored on the server from the server side, all file changes being made on the laptop. This means that the laptop has the canonical version of the files. Yesterday afternoon, I powered down the server, and continued to work on the laptop, which ran all night. This morning I powered up the server and BTSync surprisingly pushed changes to the laptop (2 files). This should not have been possible as there was no correct way for the server to have a more up-to-date version of these files. I luckily picked up the problem straight away as the application I was using reported that another application (BTSync) had modified files it had open. I was able the restore the files from the syncarchive directory (which only contained the 2 files in question). This would have been a big problem if I had not detected it. I did not have logging enabled. I have checked the time and timezone on both machines - no problems there. Any ideas what might have caused this?
