The last days a few people had connection issues (error 104 or 105). This has been fixed with the latest version (1.33.1303) of Mobile Grid Client. Which should be available via Google Play Store within the next hours.
The new version 1.32.1298 supports Android 15.
The syntax of the login location location has been fixed also. The new syntax is “uri:simulator&x&y&z”.
E.g.: uri:Saint Clair&147&153&76
Finally Android 10 support is ready.
Starting with Android 10 the licenses will be tied to a Google system account instead of the SIM card or the device. However, this change affects only devices with Android 10 or newer, on older devices, the license model remains as before.
The new version is v1.27.1262 and is now available on the Google Play Store.
There was an issue with Android 5.0 Lollipop. The latest version (v1.23.1226) fixes this.
There’s a new experimental feature: Sitting on objects.
Currently it is a bit hard to use as you have to write the UUID of the object you want to sit on into the chat. The syntax is as following:
/sit [UUID]
If you ommit the UUID your avatar will just sit on the ground. Standing up again works with:
/stand
Some examples:
/sit /stand /sit 01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcde
Just write it in the nearby chat. There will be no response.
Be aware that for now if the object animates your avatar, the animation will not stop when standing up. This can lead to strange behavior of the avatar.

Mobile Grid Client is available for over one year now. To say thank you to all our customers we have invested a lot of afford and time to further improve our service once again.
With the latest update (v1.13.852) the client now handles all the login stuff (sending username, password and more to the grid for authentication) on your device. There is no more need to transfer the password hash for login purposes to our servers.
Additionally Mobile Grid Client now supports the new login names (usernames) without a second name.
We are very sorry, but yesterday the service was down for about 20 hours. Linden Lab has accidentally banned the IP addresses of all our servers. Everything should work again now as expected.
As a compensation for this all affected paid licenses have been extended by one week.
We are sorry for any trouble this has caused you.
The latest version (v1.9.624) with support for OpenSimulator grids is available via Android Market. I want to mention that OpenSim support is still in beta stage, so don’t expect all functions of Mobile Grid Client to work, especially teleporting and group handling.
License payment still has to be done via Second Life, so you will need a Second Life account with some L$ to acquire one.
Our service was not available today from 6:00 to 15:00 o’clock UTC due to a misconfiguration of the server. We are sorry for that. The problem has been fixed and should not occur again.
You may also have noticed some updates of the client in the last days. The application did crash occasionally on some phones. We addressed that with the updates. Please give us some feedback via e-mail if you think something does not work as it should.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
