    And once you update to the latest and greatest beta release that went live on Google Play an hour ago, your username will actually be sent to the server properly and start tracking your "points"!

    Quick update to say a new beta is live on Google Play!
  3. mikejeep
    My apologies, I have been crazy busy.. I have been trying to get one last beta together that should tie up several loose ends, which I will hopefully be able to push out to everyone soon after that. I've been working on that all day today. In the meantime, you should be able to restore her old database fairly easily. When you import a database, it creates a backup of the existing database in the SignalCheck folder.. the filename will be the timestamp of whenever you tried to import the other one.

    Same here.. no notice but mine seems to have died around that time too. Wi-Fi Calling works well, but I can't send/receive texts.. frustrating.
  5. mikejeep
    What you are seeing may have something to do with how Wi-Fi calling is configured on the network side, perhaps it is causing LTE to reconnect. The app will not show/hide mobile connection information based on Wi-Fi status.

    The "exit" option only exists on SignalCheck Pro because that actually shuts down the background location/logger/icon services that are available with that version. Those extra features do not exist in Lite, so there is no reason for it. The "exit" option does not kill the actual SCP process like it would if you go into the system screens and Force Stop it like you are doing. Best-practice Android design principles are to not include an "exit" feature because the OS prefers to handle memory management, and if you reopen the app an hour later, you may have used more resources to kill and restart it than if you just left it idle in the background.

    Thanks, I'll take a look but I will warn that may be intentional by the OS and likely beyond my control. Android no longer permits third-party apps to use dialer codes.. I can only link to other activities if you know the actual system name of it (ie "com.blueline.signalcheck").

    Thanks! To check permissions, it varies slightly by device but generally you should be able to long-press on the SignalCheck Pro icon in your app list, and then click something like "App info". One of the menu options should be Permissions. The app cannot fully function without Files, Location (all the time), and Phone permissions granted. Limiting those will limit functionality.

    I do have a new update in the works that improves 5G data, but only if the phone is reporting it.. send a diagnostic next time you're connected to standalone 5G and I'll see if it's reporting anything else I can use. Non-standalone does not report much right now on any device.
  10. mikejeep
    You can if you'd like, but don't lose sleep over it -- unfortunately to this point I haven't caught anything useful being recorded on any devices under any circumstances. It's very frustrating but I'm certainly not giving up.

    I like it! I don't recall you asking for it, but if you did I apologize. I will get it added. Also, still debugging the location issues.. haven't gotten much feedback. If anyone has observations they haven't shared yet, please let me know!

    A new SignalCheck Pro beta release is rolling out now and should be available shortly. Most of the bugfixes are related to the Location Service getting stuck -- please monitor this and let me know if it is behaving better, worse, or about the same. Thank you!
  13. mikejeep
    Regarding these location service issues, I am starting to believe it could be a bug in the Google Play location API. I recently updated it to a newer version; I will roll it back and push out a new beta sometime this week. I have not been able to come up with any other source of the problem. Fingers crossed!
  14. mikejeep
    When you say "location service was off" do you mean the Location Service in SCP itself, or a device location setting?
  15. mikejeep
    Yes, that is included when you send diagnostics thanks.. those are reasonable settings that should not cause problems. I rarely have issues with Balanced/3000 -- if everything is working properly, it's a solid choice that keeps your logs accurate without hammering your battery unnecessarily. But, something is not working properly.....
  16. mikejeep
    That's interesting, I would expect more frequent updates then. I did see your reports and saw the delayed updates. Delayed updates are likely separate from this bug where it gets completely stuck, but I will keep this in mind too. The location API takes the two relevant settings under preferences (preferred accuracy and update timing) and is supposed to do the rest on its own. I have the least-likely-to-be-killed-off methods in place, but I'm wondering if the OS is getting too aggressive in conserving power anyway.
  17. mikejeep
    Was your device moving a significant distance (driving, walking, etc) or were you mostly stationary or indoors? Android automatically does not send location updates if built-in sensors detect that the device hasn't really moved.
  18. mikejeep
    Thanks, that's probably not related though -- the app uses a common Google API that uses a mix of GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile signals to determine location. If another app (GMaps, Waze, etc) is requesting more precise location information, it uses that data. Even if no GPS signal was available, some data, even with less accuracy, would be reported. Something is causing the entire process to stop working randomly, because other apps are continuing to receive updated location information.
  19. mikejeep
    Yesterday, I experienced the stuck location myself for the first time. My debugging was helpful, but I can't figure out why it isn't restarting itself automatically nor via the force method I have in place. I'll keep digging.
  20. mikejeep
    Excellent, thank you very much! Anyone else have any feedback, especially related to the location issue -- either positive or negative?
  21. mikejeep
    Another SignalCheck Pro beta release is rolling out now! It actually has a lot of changes.. the only action necessary would be that anyone experiencing issues with the location service getting "stuck" should go to Preferences > Beta Crew and enable the location timestamp - this will let you see the frequency of updates live on your screen. I did make some adjustments to the location service itself that *may* have resolved the problem, but of course I won't be certain without testing by all of you. Here is the 4.673b changelog.. some nice improvements on this list.. Added 5G-NR neighbor cell display. Added location service debugging and option to display location timestamp. Adjusted RSRP threshold for web entries to be stronger than -118 dB. Changed site note & icon lock option to be two separate options. Improved 5G-NR information on some devices. Resolved additional force closes on some Android 10 devices. Resolved issue with old web entries being re-uploaded after a log import. Resolved issue with web entries that failed validation not being exported for inspection. Resolved issue with web entries that failed validation not being removed from the upload queue. Updated internal crash reporting library. Please provide feedback when you can, especially about the location bug. If you experience an issue, please send a diagnostic report as soon after the issue as possible. If the app is restarted (or crashes), some information could be lost. More feedback = better chance I can resolve things. Thanks!

    I am a Sprint customer, and the phone came with a Sprint SIM pre-installed but a brand new T-Mobile SIM kit in the box. Wanting to use it as a native T-Mobile device, I installed the TMO SIM before I powered it up to ensure it didn't get activated as Sprint/TNA (which I believe cannot do standalone).
  23. mikejeep
    My A32 does have standalone 5G support. I have a T-Mobile SIM installed. Not rooted/modified/hacked at all. Not sure how literally you mean "out of the box", so I will mention that mine did some software updates shortly after I activated it. No idea what features might have been added/fixed. Might have just been catching up on the standard monthly Android rollouts.
  24. mikejeep
    If anyone has taken advantage of the new T-Mobile 5G upgrade program to get a Samsung Galaxy A32, you will notice that SignalCheck does not show consistent 5G-NR information (most notably, no RSRP values). It is an issue with the Samsung firmware and I am working with their support to get it resolved in a future Samsung update. The next SCP update will have some improvements to show more information on the A32 (and possibly other devices if they have similar issues), but a fix from Samsung will be needed for full compatibility.
  25. mikejeep
    Haha!! That is great news, I am happy you got it working. Cheers!!
