Android Client v2.9 on Honeycomb Has No Settings Button

Just updated to the latest client in the market. There's no way to change the settings with Android 3.1.

Usually, there's a "settings" button in the navigation area, this seems to be missing.

How can I add/change my server information?

Once at the Subsonic Home screen, tap the second icon from the left on the phone to bring up Exit, Settings, Help.

@GJ51 - He has a Transformer tablet and there is no hard buttons. The only buttons we have are soft ones and they are back, home and switch windows....none of which bring up settings. This apps is essentially useless until we can access settings.

How can we access settings without a menu button?!?!?!?

Yep, same here. Whatever it is in the code that notifies Honeycomb that it needs to display the soft menu button has apparently been removed.

This is going to impact ALL Honeycomb tablets - Acer Iconia (mine), Asus Transformer, Toshiba Thrive, Motorola Xoom, etc.

Please fix ASAP!

Hey Tablet folks, while we wait on a fix for 2.9, we can sideload 2.8 by downloading it directly from Sourceforge here.

My bad, i didn't realize that this was different for tablets. I thought the hardware buttons were part of the original Android specification. Don't you just love it when they change the rules in the middle of the game?

I actually liked the old interface better when the controls were all in the SS interface. Shouldn't be a big deal for Sindre to change it back. I'll make a post over in his beta announcement where I know he's watching the feedback.

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately I don't have a tablet to test on.

Please download the latest version (2.9.1) from Android Market, and see if the menus are working again. (They should appear in the Honeycomb action bar.)

Thanks,
Sindre

That did it!

See, THIS is why open source rocks, Android rocks, and YOU, Sindre, especially rock! Thanks for the quick action, my friend!
