Check out the EFF's projects (which incorporate WiGLE data) for rogue cell tower identification: https://github.com/EFForg/rayhunter https://github.com/EFForg/crocodilehunter it's generally unlikely someone is creating unlicensed cell towers or operating cell site simulators, the penalties for this ...

It's still a puzzle - there's a dev branch as I've experimented, but there have been a lot of confusing problems and dead-ends here. Darn it, Pixel team, this "optimization" sucks!

no, Android does not allow channel-locking scans - we couldn't like the app in the Play Store if we did.

If you chose to register multiple accounts, you risk being banned from the system permanently. This is because such behavior mirrors that of an actor intending to violate the limits on accounts and the EULA to which users agree to when registering. There will be no appeals process for our decision ...

you probably denied the application location access- you'll have to go into application permissions under settings and grant it.

When you hit the map URL as a non-logged in user (or with a freshly expired auth token), the overlay tiles get generated ignoring all the params available only to authenticated users. These results then get cached by your browser with exactly the same signatures as the "proper" tiles would and you ...

make sure you're logging in using your username, not your email address.

the code is pretty battle-tested at this point - a few steps to try: 1. log out and back in 2. make sure to hit the "filer button" we don't auto-apply most of the filter settings on change because tile generation is expensive. That being said, the URL you posted should work right off the bat (and ...

you could also retrofit your script to check for a data connection before trying to upload, which would solve your problem without requiring us to change the way the app works for you.

Seeking confirmation: if you look at your phone's net.wigle.wigleandroid logcat messages (requires an app or an IDE+cable) after a long run with one of these nerfed phones, do you see a lot of: culling pending queue. size: 512 culled pending queue. size now: 512 pending queue still full, couldn't ...

no, there's no functionality in the app right now that deletes anything from the DB.

As always, pull-requests are very welcome on GitHub!

This is something you can automate with Tasker and similar programs.

I have to ask: are you just leaving it running in your house? Are these all bluetooth randomized addresses or something else?

Alright WiFriends, new thing to check (maybe everyone here has already done this, and I'm late to the party- just got a recent pixel last week). Apparently the recent Android updates started enforcing the new battery optimization system. 1. under the app battery settings for the WiGLE WiFi ...

I will, but it's pretty impractical for me, as a distance runner - I can't exactly leave it screen-on, plugged in.

Ouch, I've been side-by-siding my new Pixel 9 with my venerable Samsung Z-flip 3 for the last 24 hours. - Throttle disabled - Settings same or faster for scan speed - "Keep Screen On" with a button push afterward to avoid burning up my battery immediately. - ZFlip has an immense database from years ...
