I know it's been previously mentioned that around 1:20am Eastern the site sometimes goes offline for a few minutes and an error message is displayed. Lately it's been happening far more frequently during the overnight hours. I couldn't get on the site for a few hours tonight, and I am still having problems with certain pages (such as "Content I Follow" and the equivalent screen in Tapatalk). The error message that has been displayed recently is this:

 

"s4gru.com Driver Error

 

There appears to be an error with the database.

If you are seeing this page, it means there was a problem communicating with our database. Sometimes this error is temporary and will go away when you refresh the page. Sometimes the error will need to be fixed by an administrator before the site will become accessible again."

 

I didn't see anyone else mentioning this, so I just wanted to make sure it was getting mentioned.

Been seeing it more lately. But usually is fixed in around 15 minute's.  I've been seeing it more with other sites lately

I am getting the error right now whenever I try to click on any of the sub forums. I was able to get into this thread since it was listed on the front page as a new thread.

The View New Content link in The Forums seems to be the biggest culprit.  Most/all other links are working.

This has been fixed now. IP Board has asked me to limit the number of new notifications for members. Currently it is set to no limit. He suggested capping at 100. They said this is the cause of our problems.

I thought maybe Ericsson had taken over the maint contract here too!  :) :)

If that were the case, the new content would available but blocked for an indefinite period of time.

Whoa, I *JUST* saw this once you pointed it out!  That made my day - I kept wondering if there was a way I could see this!  That link is pretty well hidden up there in that corner...

Thanks Robert! I just noticed that I have thousands of notifications saved.. 313 pages of them going back to March. I can't think of why anyone would need that archive, and I'm sure it's clogging up a database somewhere. I started deleting them page-by-page, but that was a bit tedious.

313 pages? That's a lot of pages of notifications.

I had 33 pages. I never realized that they kept building up like that. Fortunately, it didn't take long to get rid of them. It'd be nice to just do a batch select/delete of all instead of what is on the current page.

I changed the maximum number of notifications this a morning. It should help things out tremendously on the server side. We are now limited to 50 for members, 100 for Sponsors, 200 for Premier Sponsors. I did not change them for staff.

So that means I still need to finish deleting my other 30 pages of notifications? I got rid of 10 already. :(

I think you're exempt as "Staff" -- my 311 pages are suddenly down to 4, which makes sense based on my new limit of 200.

Since i'm not staff, do the notifications inform you of post reporting, i.e. spam, violation of user agreement, etc.?  If not, why not limit staff to 1k?

The small number of staff we have just does not put much burden on the servers. It's the multiplier of members that burdens it greatly.

      Uploaded data without issues on Friday. Now with the latest update I am getting "Cluster #1 skipped: invalid file format detected. File exported for inspection." Doing same with all other clusters. Did this on 4 phones in a row.  Seems to work on s24 ultra just fine. On s21 ultra it says "web data upload failed. No data to send" although 8800 records were displayed. Now gives same error as above. I have not sent the data from 3 other phones.  All should have latest update.

      SignalCheck - Android app to monitor your Wi-Fi/2G/3G/4G LTE/5G-NR signal strengths

      By mikejeep · Posted

      After several months of testing, an update to SignalCheck Pro is rolling out on Google Play. It may take up to 48 hours to become available for download. Notable changes include: Added option to display site notes for NSA 5G-NR cells. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show NSA 5G-NR Site Notes) will cause the app to make an "educated guess" as to what the most appropriate site note is linked to the connected NSA 5G cell, using the PCI and the device location. If it finds an existing entry that is likely to be relevant, it will display the note along with the distance from where the strongest signal from that cell was logged. While connected to NSA 5G, these notes cannot be edited; a valid NCI is required to add/edit notes and that information is not available on NSA connections.   Added option to log cells with missing/invalid PLMN (such as NSA 5G-NR cells). Users asked for the ability to log data for NSA 5G, so a new option (Preferences > Logger Settings > Log Cells with Missing PLMN) will permit this.   Added option to display LTE info above 5G-NR info. Enabling this new option (Preferences > Display Settings > Show LTE Cells Above 5G-NR Cells) shows the same information that is currently displayed, but moves the LTE information above the 5G-NR information. Other changes: Code optimizations and enhancements. Improved Android 15 compatibility. Overhauled Purchases module. Resolved force closes impacting some GSM/LTE connections. Resolved issue with improper 5G-NR PLMN display when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with improper PLMN display with single-digit MNCs. Resolved issue with incorrect 5G-NR bands displayed on some devices due to Android bug. Resolved issue with incorrect number of neighbor cells displayed when some cells were unknown. Resolved issue with missing 5G-NR data when sector display is enabled. Resolved issue with saving 5G-NR site notes when NR/LTE PLMNs did not match. Resolved issue with settings to log missing GCI/NCI/TAC/PLMN being ignored. Resolved issues with web data export function. Updated internal libraries. Updated provider database. Updated target API to Android 15. I appreciate all of your support, and a big thank you to the members of the Beta Crew that help with testing and feedback!

      Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

      It is an Android bug that was reportedly fixed in August 2023 but definitely has not been. I have implemented numerous workarounds in SCP to correct the NR bands the app displays. The OS ignores the possibility that many NR-ARFCNs are valid across multiple bands.. it reports the lowest NR band that is valid for the current ARFCN. In your example, channel 432530 can be n1, n65, or n66.. so the OS just (lazily) reports n1.   Awesome, thanks! I will add an n65 override also.
