Forums >Technical Support>Problem synching Handy Runner
I downloaded the Handy Runner app onto my new HTC Desire today and it looks great. I have set up a new account for myself on the site (as you can see) and I have put the same setting on the phone (email address and password) to enable them to link up.
I recorded a 'run' (actually a shopping trip in the car) and it seems to have recorded the route fine on the phone. But I am getting errors when I try to upload the file to the website.
When I click the Refresh menu button on the RA tab I get the message 'Failed to get event types'.
Also, when I try to upload my 'run' using the 'Upload to RunningAHEAD' context sensitive history menu on the History tab I get the message 'Failed to upload workout to RunningAHEAD'.
Am I doing something stupid or is the app not fully working yet?
1.0.0 is the latest version. I do have a version 1.1.0 that will be released soon which does have a few defect fixes

Can I assume that the locale/time zone issue is fixed in the new release? If not, consider this my attempt to report it. On my Motorola Droid (I can't think of a reason why this would be device-specific, but thought I'd throw it in there anyway), the workout is uploaded to RunningAhead with a start time in UTC instead of my local time zone.
Well, the GPX file that is generated and uploaded to RA *is* supposed to have all times in UTC. If you look at the GPX file, you should see times formatted similarly to the following:
2010-04-21T10:57:50Z
Note the 'Z' at the end.
Could it be perhaps that your locale isn't set correctly within RA itself? Go to Options->Locale Settings and ensure your "Time Offset" is correct"
