Spark 360 fixes messaging
Monday, April 18th, 2011It’s alive!
Sunday, April 10th, 2011Version 3.39 is now out on Market, and should fix the now-infamous “SSL authentication” error.
Thanks to all of you who helped me get this fixed, especially Jonathan Williams and Conor MacLoclen, who ran build after broken build, until the crapshoot finally yielded something useful.
360 release addresses tablets
Saturday, April 9th, 2011While I’m still investigating networking problems on several devices (which no longer seem to be just limited to Cyanogen), I have released version 3.38 of Spark 360 that fixes a handful of annoying issues on Honeycomb (such as the crash when re-opening the friends list), as well as small layout problems on devices with large displays.
Another day, another maintenance Trophies release
Friday, April 1st, 2011Spark Trophies 1.85 has been released today; mainly to fix the avatar issue brought forward by PSN’s April 1st update. Please note that if you haven’t already, you will need to accept the latest PSN Terms of Service, before you can use Spark Trophies – not doing so will result in authentication errors.
This release also speeds up the app somewhat, by fixing a handful of bugs that resulted in unnecessary re-authentication.
New Spark 360 release adds Friends-of-Friends, shortcuts
Friday, April 1st, 2011Latest release of Spark 360 is now out. Like the earlier Trophies release, the app is no longer localized in Italian; however, it will continue to retrieve profile data in Italian (for example, the names of the achievements will still be localized). This version also adds:
- Friends of Friends – you can now view your friends’ friend list, as well as send them friend requests, messages, and more
- Home Screen Shortcuts – this release adds Home Screen shortcuts, similar to those recently added to Trophies
Please note that while I haven’t had any issues during test, this particular release makes core changes to the application which may cause errors in the upgraded version. If that happens, please uninstall, then install Spark 360. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Spark Trophies released, Preview edition out (for now)
Monday, March 28th, 2011Latest version of Spark Trophies finally removes the ultra-crapulent US server as source of PSN data, and routes all requests through PSN EU, which is faster, and more accurate. Those of you who still use US server should notice a considerable speed boost, especially when refreshing friend list. If you’re already using PSN EU, you will notice that games are now sorted by play order, and not by title.
I have, for the time being, removed Trophies Preview from Market, pending a proper fix of the free edition – it should be back up sometime this week.
P.S. Look forward to a Spark 360 release near the end of the week, or during the weekend
Trophy counts “fixed”, new Spark Trophies release out
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011First and foremost, if you haven’t read this already, please do. It describes the “fix” put in place in the latest version to re-enable trophy count support in Spark Trophies. With that said, a new version (1.80) of Spark Trophies is now out on Marketplace, which adds better Android integration, and specifically:
- The trophy count issue affecting US accounts is fixed
- Friends list can now be searched from inside and outside Spark Trophies. To enable friend searching from your home screen, check “Spark Trophies″ in “Search settings”
- You can now place direct shortcut to specific accounts and friends on your home screen – to create one, longpress on your home screen, and select Shortcuts, then PSN friend, or PSN account
- Various bugs are fixed
- Price for new purchases is now $1.25 (please note that if you’ve already purchased yours, you do not have to pay more for additional installs)
