Huge uploads after reinstalls, bug or feature?
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2017 12:28 pm
A "long time ago," after uninstall/reinstalls of the Wigle app, a very large upload (hundreds of Megabytes) would be observed, even though the old WigleWifi_date-time.csv.gz and wiglewifi.sqlite, etc. files stayed on the device, and the amount of scanning since last upload was "normal" (usually no more than a couple Megabytes each). This issue was ignored because it was infrequent, but the frequency has increased with more frequent updates to the device OS or testing of new Wigle app versions. It could be faulty human memory, but it also seems like the huge uploads may not be the first upload after reinstall, but it is soon after. The concern is obviously tying up the device for a long time during this upload (i.e. for hours), unnecessary network traffic, and extra server load. So the question is, can't these huge uploads be avoided? On a related general point, uploads seem to require nothing else being done with the device; could uploads be done in background, so the device could still be used for other things at the same time?
Sorry in advance if this is a known issue or fixed in newer versions.
