    I suspected you had made some change, ;-) because when connecting
    to your server(s) I can get the list of groups and subscribe to
    them (though I cannot get or read any messages).
    ========================================

    However, Phonews was judged as crap anyways. :)

    Why?

    Cannot remember anymore. Maybe you just answered to yourself.. :)


    Maybe you're missing some other quick modification... ;-)

    Maybe. ;-)

    There seems to be newer version of phonews in google play, but it asks for money if you want to post. Uninstalled!

    Ah, I didn't know that posting was free in older versions.

    At least you can use the free version for reading... and if you want to write and remove the ads, it's not too expensive.

    AFAIK there is no other alternative to HotdogEd (+NNTP provider) that is compatible with latest Android versions.

    Hotdoged still works ok in my current phone running Android 14. That's good enough for me.

    Good to know. Is it a new phone, or was it upgraded to 14 with HotdogEd
    already installed?

    That's good enough for me.

    For me too. I hope it still works for me for some time... (fingers
    crossed).

    Samsung S23, I got this with Android 13, updated to 14 few days ago. So Hotdoged was installed in 13.
