Hi Dave, The client is open-sourced: https://github.com/wiglenet/wigle-wifi-wardriving - you can read how we log and report there, and PRs are very welcome! That being said, we avoid doing much data clean-up client-side because it limits our ability to reconstruct/reprocess server-side later, as we ...

Hi Dave, Sorry, that's a combination of factors at play. 1. the donate flag was intended as an account-wide setting, rather than per-upload setting - we haven't included per-run donation, or added the ability to toggle it on and off on an ongoing basis. 2. the mobile client doesn't surface that as w...

Please excuse the interruption - file processing is paused while we work to improve i18n support - we'll have the system back online and catching up soon!

Hi David, Frequently, the GPS signal is the problem independent of echo or occlusion - the phone reports "I've got a great fix" when in fact it's total garbage. It varies widely by phone model and location. We have a little library of techniques to correct it - send us a transid in PM and ...

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 ...
