WiGLE WiFi 1.11 Error on Upload: "Fail Error: fail: null"

[izzy4505]

On occasion when uploading my networks to WiGLE using WiGLE WiFi 1.11 on an HTC EVO, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Fail Error: fail: null

It seems to happen almost every other attempt. An attempt to upload immediately after succeeds. I haven't been able to find any real pattern, but if you would like me to try a few things to debug, just let me know.

It's usually when it doesn't have a network connection. If it's half between 3g and wifi, or just can't connect. We'll have to track down why the error message is null.

I have same problem with Desire.
When Wlan is up seems 3g is shuted down because wlan is stronger. And when wigle is running wlan is in ? monitor mode ? > isnt able to connect.
Is possible to run wigle without scanning ( pause/scan ) to upload results ?

We'll probably start doing that. But it seems to be a transition thing, as once a nexus one is done switching from 3g to wifi it can upload the file via wifi.

Not sure if this is helpful, but in one case when I tried to upload, I was in the middle of nowhere in a very large park, with no WiFi detected since the entrance. I don't believe my phone was switching between WiFi and 3G, and I had full bars of 3G signal. I was also streaming Pandora at the time, so I am confident that the connection was working.

Finally traced the issue down. Turns out we could fix with a server-side workaround, so this problem should be taken care of now.

Also version 1.12 and higher fixes the popup and logging of that and other errors, so it hopefully won't be so cryptic going forward.
