Hi Jan,

I accidentally cleared the app's cache a few days ago and had to go through the process of reauthenticating and resetting my preferences in order to start updates again. Unfortunately, XOAuth isn't working for me:

Tap "Connect to Google," and "OK" on the resulting dialog
Tap "Grant access" on the OAuth permissions page
I am at this point taken to the Messaging app, and an SMS to "//gmail" is created.
Tap on the home button and tap on SMS Backup+
Either the app is hanging with "Connecting to Google," or under "Connect" it says "Connected as null."

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your great work in developing this app!

this bug is fixed in 1.4.1. well, it won't display you're connected if you're not.

Thanks Jan, I can confirm that the LG version of the Android Browser in 2.2.1 was causing my problem. Dolphin HD worked properly and I'm all set now.
