Re: Google Android 9 and up: We won't fix WiFi Scanning

[quote=Camis post_id=10325 time=1567764051 user_id=109737]
On Android 10, in programming options throttling can be turned off.

Is this currently known to be true?

Re: Google Android 9 and up: We won't fix WiFi Scanning

I use two Moto X4's, ("Android One")and I have prevented them from updating to Android Pie: Mostly because of the WiFi scanning problem that is being talked about here. My understanding is that when Android 10 (?) becomes available, this scanning limitation will be removed. At that point, ...

Almost all missing blue balloons during wardriving.

I've had this same problem on 4 different Moto phones for well over 2 years. (Pure version 3, two X4's, G4.) When I wardrive and display the map, very few blue balloons are displayed. Plenty of "beeps" are heard, indicating that Wifi's are being found, and later, when I upload the data, th...

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

I have (maybe?) fixed a problem in the phone software, but haven't yet tested to determine if it fixes the scanning problem. But, I have decided that I want to buy a cheap, used phone for wardriving. I hope to not have to put it on any cell phone plan. My main objective is to find a phone that has a...

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

I have not been able to activate my Moto X 2nd gen phone. It's old, and nearly at its memory limit. It had many old pictures, and I don't know if they were/are backed up. The system told me to upgrade the Photos program, but I could not do that, because there was not enough available memory to do th...

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

I have an old Moto X 2nd Generation. I will activate it for Wigle, and see what it does.
Before 1.5 years ago, I heavily used a Moto X 1st generation, and I don't recall it ever having this problem.

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

"Can you tell us a little about your intended use and the expected behavior of the balloons?"

In the past, the balloons simply indicated which streets I had covered. It's rather difficult now to fully cover a neighborhood, when there is no record of the locations of the WiFis.

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

If it would help, I could mount one phone, taking a video of the screen of the second phone, and recording the "beeps" emitted. But, I wonder if this could help.

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

I am repeatedly clicking on the "Bugs" switch, and it no longer shows me the original location I placed the comment about blue balloons.

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

I tried the: "and select "Mine" for "Show discovered networks on map"), you'll get the same overlays as you'd get on the site, which are a low power/memory alternative to putting up all those balloons on the map." but nothing was improved. Very, very few blue balloons a...

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

"short version: your device only shows as many balloons as it can easily fit into free RAM (android has some say in this, but if you're running 7.0 on both devices, you'll probably see similar behavior)." Okay, one had 3 gigabytes, the other has 4 gigabytes. " If you run low on memory...

Re: Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

"Sorry about the Yagi disciple - those are forum tags based on how often you post." Is that explained anywhere? "It's interesting that the mapping core is missing data, but that points are being logged properly. The good news is that this is probably a rendering or settings problem - ...

Android App isn't mapping WiFis while driving: Rarely displays dark blue and light blue "balloons" while wardriving

I have been wardriving since May 2015. (I'm at about 1,030,000 Wifis collected.) In the last few months, I have seen a big problem with the Wigle Android app: When I try to run the thing with the mapping turned on (dark blue and light blue balloons) very, very few of those balloons appear, compared ...
