Scrolling through Comms - Bug
Ghimok
✭✭✭
In Prime 2.29 and earlier it is incredibly frustrating to attempt to scroll back through the Alerts in the Comms function. Any time you scroll back the app will keep automatically going to the bottom of the list.
I gotta believe this has been reported before, but couldn't find anything in this section about it.
The inability to scroll back makes it impossible to see what's going on in your area because any time there's a new entry in the alerts you lose your scrollback place, even if you try to hold that position.

I’ve had this bug since the beginning of Prime. Very frustrating!
The Prime comms does not function well and it also widens itself to Intel. I was trying to find out who made a specific link, went directly to the portal I thought the link originated from and all I could see was capture and deploy, I then went to the other portal that it was linked to and there was nothing to be seen for that portal was full capped months and months ago (isolated area). Went back and for between the two then finally I zoomed out quite a bit then off set the map by maybe a couple of hundred miles from the links center, and then finally on the comms log it showed where the link came from.
I have had other issues to where I am trying to connect to another agent (opposing faction) via remote portal view but every time I press on the players name it sends me to the faction comm without keeping the agents name in the chat box.
Agreed. Still getting this.
Yes. I must say fix comm. It is so annoying scrolling to see what happened through the day when boom yor at the bottom of the list again. I even try holding my finger on the screen and that dont work either. Please fix this problem.
This bug makes comm useless in Prime.
This bug still occurs in 2.30. Makes comms in Prime very unfriendly to the users.
Fix COMM! DON'T RETIRE REDACTED UNTIL COMM IS FIXED!!!
THIS IS THE MAIN REASON I USE REDACTED!
DON'T IGNORE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE!
I also have this annoying "feature" where comms skip back to bottom each time it checks for new messages to display. All well and fine if there are new messages to display. It's just a damn nuisance when there are no new messages.
Same problem here. Android.
...and it's the same on iOS too.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Try to scroll backwards through comms messages.
2) Get immensely frustrated as it repeatedly jumps to the newest message.
Temporary workround: Use the comms tab on the Intel map in a browser instead.
This is game breaking imho. It makes the activities log essentially useless. Redacted does not have this issue so until this is fixed in prime, parity is not achieved.
Of note, Issue #99 in the Reddit list.
This needs to become a priority fix!
Still not fixed with the latest update. Nia, come on! @NianticCasey why it is taking ages to fix this?
This is pretty much making COMM unusable.
Comm is a good tool if it works right. Still not working right in 2.33. I hope it get fix in the next ver. Comm is useless ontill this scrolling issue gets fixed so you can see whats going on in the days events. Please fix...
I have this problem too. It sucks.

Still broken.
It appears that if I move my finger up to keep scrolling, I *can continue to scroll... but I have about a tenth of a second, tops. With my finger off the scree for any longer, it goes back to the bottom.
Yep... same here.
Be nice if we could have... a full second to reposition our fingers?
Ten seconds to read without having our finger on the screen?
Please sir, may we have some more?
I have resorted to using two-finger scrolling where I alternate between the two fingers in order to get anywhere. It's really annoying.
This can't be the intended behaviour surely?
And this is still an issue....
I hope Niantic rebuild COMM in Prime. Cant see gain AP for glyph and no MuS and extreme bad COMM. Remove portal pictures to in COMM and smaller font size.
Two things I hate about prime right now is the comm scrolling to the end of the list before you get to see what happen in the day earlier. The other part of prime I hate is not being able to see the compass. Please fix these problems...
This is still an issue in 2.37.3.
On the main map screen, if I see a potentially interesting action in the upper right, I will tap on it and start to scroll back through the Actions tab of COMM in an attempt to get some context and awareness of the situation. I might want to scroll back quite far, so the continual, automatic jumping back to the bottom of the list gets to be quite frustrating.
