The app should download automatically from the Play Store according to your network connectivity preferences. If you're looking to update the Android system software or Google libraries, your mileage may vary - Android system software updates are released by your phone vendor and Google library vers...

Hi Dave, Thanks for the feedback. Our experience has been inconsistent GPS/driver behavior under android is responsible for the mast majority of these cases. Generally, rather than reflections, we receive high-reported accuracy, high signal-strength data which is simply incorrect. We have means of d...

Short answer: it varies by phone! There's a "sweet spot" where you don't overheat your phone, don't exceed your ability to write to the database and update the display, but maximize the number of measurements you take, which varies by device and drivers. In particular, some radios/drivers ...

absolutely - check out your account page or check out some of the python implementations of the WiGLE API, such as PyGLE to simplfy your implementation.

No direct tutorial, but there are libraries for a number of programming languages - some of which include examples! Are you a programmer?

Cheers,

We'd recommend the API!

because the data size is impractical to display and render everything in realtime, we serve configurable image tile overlays on the map. You can check out the"Map Settings"-> "Show Discovered Networks on Map" on the main Settings menu - you can select Mine/Others/All/None for net...

We're in the midst of a project to completely revamp them - watch this space!

one weird idea: in more recent versions of android, the operating system has increased authority to "background" tasks even when they create ongoing services. Exact instructions differ based on OS and vendor, but can you try turning off battery saving for WiGLE and see whether that solves ...

well, that's grim. As a point of comparison, do you happen to have the older phone, and can it run the new version of WiWiWa? It would make a check/rule out environmental-local elements (and isolate it to phone model/OS version/other device-specific factors). Thanks for the detailed info and sorry f...

Hi PhattyMo, Excellent post! Sorry about the forum code formatting - extra newlines can help, but we should really figure out how to get better code formatting into this forum package. To answer your questions: 1. the app version is effectively the file format version, so keeping that consistent is ...

Hi flok99, Awesome - we love it folks build new stuff! If you want a simple reporting format, the CSV files we use in WiGLE WiFi Wardriving are pretty straightforward. The basics are mentioned here . We haven't formally documented it (we should), but since it's self describing, we've been lazy. Ther...

The freenets list is more gimpy than I'd realized. We should find a new way to crowdsource this, since it's kinda the way WiGLE works!

Hi fbar, Thanks for your interest! The possible free/pay nets are heuristic anyway - we just use a curated list of known free/pay SSIDs to guess at the status of the network. We'd be happy to share the current list with you (it used to be curated through the Wiki, but we got tired of having to clean...

Awesome! glad everything has worked! You're welcome to use either header values, but if you decide to open-source/publish your project, it might be cool to see the device show up in device stats ; you'd get to see how many people were using your software/instructions. If you do decide to do that, le...
