Well, if you're sophisticated enough to install a new OS: first: try the adb trick to remove the throttle on 9; it doesn't work on every model/os. if it works, no need to resort to anything extreme. ( adb shell settings put global wifi_scan_throttle_enabled 0 ) second: https://lineageos.org/ is pret...

Maybe phone models, but not necessarily OS versions. Just remember to disable throttling on 10 and up.

You can locate individual MAC addresses using the API (without using the whole packet), but we don't provide a networked geolocation service at this time, since we want to avoid knowing where anyone is at any given time. https://api.wigle.net for the API options, you're probably most interested in &...

That information is just based on the address OUI; it's not logged or included with the API. Correlate with a contemporaneous file from the IEEE to determine the manufacturer.

shoot, part of the same round of security-improvement that broke the client - thanks for the catch, should be fixed now.

It's a pile of things: Old radios/drivers/OSes might just not tune as fast (and so don't scan as quickly) Driver versions can have a huge impact, making previously slow phones fast and vice versa on upgrade Android 9 throttles WiFi scan speed (and is hard to de-throttle) Android 10 and up also throt...

If you upgrade to Android 5 (and you really should), you'll be able to side-load older ( 2.67 will be the last) versions of the app. The Google Play Store won't allow us to keep our listing and support devices that old, sadly. We'll be signing and releasing an "Oldroid" branch as well, but...

honestly, it's pretty hard to list - we've been doing this for 20 years now, and it's always been out policy to try and help academic researchers where we can. In terms of projects most people don't know about, I'd say that Magic 8 Balls are one the most under-hyped and interesting things we've work...

worth noting that reported accuracy may be part of the problem! How were the actual locations?

that is a really large number of satellites - if that fix is no good, I don't know what will be. Also worth noting that your old phone probably didn't support all those GNSS constellations. If there's a way to turn off various satellite constellations on your device, you might see if one is the sour...

Sorry about your old phone - losing a favorite device is always a heartbreak. Some stuff to check: - Check the Settings -> app permissions, make sure the"fine grained location" permission is granted - Check your dashboard - the upper right will tell you what GNSS constellations you're list...

ok folks - this fix is under review. I'll post again when the APK is ready. A few notes: - we're into sideload territory now, the play store won't allow support like this - loading this will be at your own discretion. Look up how to sideload an APK. - yeah, this can't guarantee oldroid support for F...

You can use the Basic Search tool on the site to see where this particular cell network is - it has pretty broad reach, but there are lots of reasons cell signal can degrade. It's almost certainly nothing your neighbors are doing (unless the neighbors are a television broadcast facility).

Nope. Your current position doesn't figure into the individual network view you posted. The red circle is the "best" signal location for this launch of the app. Radio signals vary over time, just like listening to the FM radio or using a CB - if you spend the most time right there, then pr...

we continue to push, but the API isn't supported and we can't list on the app store. If anyone manages to get anything through apple. don't hesitate to let us know!
