My wife's Android client hangs when loading posts, and attempts to send an update result in the following error:
Runtime Error
Location: [194,0] file:///android_asset/Resources/model/statusnet_asjson_parser.js
Message:
TypeError: Cannot call method "substring" of null (file:///android_asset/Resources/model/statusnet_asjson_parser.js#194_
This occurs on her cloud site as well as my self-hosted site and identi.ca.
She has version 1.04 of the client installed.

7 month later still this major bug! (on a motorola defy ín my case)
Please, fix this or take the app off the website. It is just frustrating.
Any other app tips? Ubersocial is not a very intuitive choice either. Especially on the iphone, but also on android...

Still confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S II, iPhone 3, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
Mustard works for android, but what about an alternative for iPhone/Windows phone? Or even better, why not fix the client. ;)
