I have the same exact problem. In fact I’ve had this problem for a while and thought it would be resolved somehow. But I’m able to repeat it reliably as follows:
Searching for VLC (or anything else) shows nothing
Swiping the screen down shows a bar “updating repository” and (after a minute or two) the list of new application shows content again.
I discovered this “swipe down” feature by accident and tried every possible menu looking for a way to update the repositories or otherwise figure why nothing was shown.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong and why I’m always ending up in a state where f-droid shows nothing. See also a similar issue on gitlab.com.
Bonjour, j’ai exactement le même soucis, mais je ne comprend pas grand chose aux réponses, malheureusement ici ou ailleurs, je ne trouve que des réponse en ANGLAIS, déjà, que je ne suis pas excessivement bon en informatique, en anglais non plus, alors en anglais technique informatique, je vous laisse deviner…
As-tu trouvé une solution ? ou es-ce que quelqu’un a une solution ?
Bref j’essaye de me de-googlisé, mais là, je bloque complet…
Merci de votre retour.
Fait, fait et re fait… dsl j’ai également désinstaller plusieurs fois, réinstaller… j’ai même réinitialiser le téléphone… Bref j’ai pour ma part tout tenter… .
Don’t take offense. He’ll help anyone but tends to be expedient about it. I’m surprised that that response almost spilled onto a second line. It must mean he wants to help more than normal.
