CommCare May Updates: CommCare Mobile 2.6, CommCareHQ Improvements
CommCare Mobile 2.6 is now available!
Below is an outline of new 2.6 features and major updates to CommCareHQ since the April announcement.
Most Android phones will upgrade to the new version automatically, but for Nokia phones you must change the version of your application on CommCareHQ to 2.6 (under Java Phone General Settings), make a new version, and install the new version on the phones. If your Android application is not automatically updating to 2.6, visit the CommCareODK application in the google play store/marketplace and hit “upgrade”.
- Changed the “selected” highlight color for Choice questions and menu items to be more visible. Instead of light blue it is now a bright green.
- Added data recovery algorithm when Nokia phone storage becomes corrupted
- Ability to add icon to “sync w server” and “send forms” menu items
- Make “#” trigger text entry in “one question per screen” mode with interinational input mode. This is consistent with how “multiple questions per screen” mode works with international input.
- Restore User now goes directly into the app upon completion instead of waiting on a completed loading bar
- A process for dumping unsent forms to an SD card to later submit them from another CommCare device.

- Mobile user language is selected from a dropdown rather than written in
- Ability to mark a mobile number as default/primary for SMS
- Button to resend web user invitations
- Fixed bug that crashed some apps with incomplete translations in the case list
- Fixed bug that temporarily made some questions in the form designer appear duplicated
