I'm experiencing a consistent issue where it will not "go back". Pressing the back button causes a refresh event (the spinner icon appears) but the same page is displayed. This doesn't happen every time but often, maybe 50%. This is on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I almost always use my tab in portrait mode when reading, including using wikipedia beta. I was able to reproduce this behavior consistently following the steps below: 1) Search for "arthur c. clarke". 2) Click the link "Childhood's End" under "Notable works". 3) Click on the link "The Songs of Distant Earth" in the second paragraph. 4) Click "Plot Summary" to expand that section. 5) Click the link "cryonic suspension" in the second paragraph of that section. 6) Touch the back button. Rather than going back to the previous page, the spinner displays as if loading a page but the same page appears. I've had this occur on many other pages at many other times but these particular steps are consistently reproducible for me.
Also, I wasn't sure if selecting "Wikipedaa Mobile" was correct. This is occuring while running the Wikipedia Beta as opposed to the previous version (screen-scraper).
Are you sure you're using Android 1.2? The English Wikipedia article on Android OS shows no such version. I tried this on Android 2.3.3 and it works correctly for me.
Fixed in https://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile/pull/251 Thanks a lot for reporting this, Rod! This should roll into the beta in a day or two. @Pine: He was referring to the 1.2 version of the wikipedia app :)
