Entered hymns visible only on my phone (doubled when another entered them again)

Post by LRChoquette »

I've been entering hymns in the Gospel Library app for over a year now, and it's worked flawlessly until last week. I entered the hymns the morning of July 3, but I heard from the bishop and the ward bulletin specialist on July 5 that they couldn't see the hymns. So I sent them the hymns by SMS and presumably one of them entered the hymns (again).

On July 6 each hymn's title showed twice on my phone (but not the number), but they appeared normally on others' phones in my family. I went back into Select Hymns on my phone and they still showed only once there.

Possible lead: When I entered the hymns I was connected to church WiFi, but possibly not with the WiFi logged in (as required every 24 hours). However, between July 3 and 5 I was connected properly to my home WiFi quite a bit. My app version is 7.3.3-(733032.2213515) on Android 18, One UI 7.0

It would be interesting to see if you have the same issue next week. Maybe multiple people tried to enter the hymns at the same time, or something like that. It's also possible there was a temporary glitch when syncing. If the same thing happens for next week's hymns, you could try signing out and back in (in Gospel Library Settings), which should clear the hymn data currently on your phone and replace it with the data that's been synced to the server.

I assume you mean Android 15, One UI 7.0, as Android 18 doesn't exist (yet). :) But your Android version is new enough that everything should work like normal.

Nobody else knew which hymns we had chosen on July 3, so they wouldn't have entered any hymns then. But as for next week, I've already entered the hymns, and then I had a family member look at "View Sacrament Meeting Hymns" on the corner menu of "Quick Links" on their own phone, and the hymns I entered are there. I'm probably going to run that check every week for a while until I get complacent. If it does happen again, I'll sign out and in as you suggest. Thanks!

Yes, I meant 15, good catch!
