Wigle Wifi Acting Strange
Posted: Sun Dec 18, 2011 8:30 am
Hi,
I am running Wigle Wifi on my Samsung GS2 phone. I noticed a few days ago that the dashboard showed my "total distance" from about 1500km to over 100,000km.
Yesterday and today I noticed that it seems to take a very long time (waited about 30 minutes yesterday, today waited for over 15 minutes) to get a GPS or network lock. Yesterday when I attempted war driving again about 2 hours later, it seemed to get GPS lock within 2 minutes on that attempt. Both times I checked with the google maps app to see if I got a GPS lock and the maps app worked fine (even when wigle could not get any lock). That seems to indicate that my GPS works fine.
Today I uninstalled / reinstalled the app, just in case there were issues with it. After that it took about 1 minute to get a network lock, followed by GPS lock another 2 minutes later.
Under the list window it showed that it detected about 700 new wifi points, but in dashboard it showed "New nets since upload" as 0.
I did an upload nevertheless, and it seems to have been reflected in my stats here.
I am running the latest version available in Market (can't see the version number in the app itself when I looked around).
Not sure what is going on.
