Not scanning cell towers
The app isn't scanning cell towers regardless of the settings.
Hey Nikkerton, do you have any additional info to reproduce the issue (Radiobeacon version, Android version, device manufactor) and detailled instructions what's actually happening, e.g. wifi is fine?
Hi.
Thanks for the response. Phone is Samsung galaxy s3 with aicp ROM. It's android 5.1.1 and everything works fine except radiobeacon doesn't collect cell towers. WiFi works good. I also used inviu to collect cell phone towers and it works Ok. Radiobeacon is version 0.8.8. GPS fix is Ok. The cell tab just stays empty...

Let's try to try to trace that issue down: I just verified we've uploads from other Samsung Galaxy S3, so that shouldn't be the problem, android 5.1.1 and radiobeacon 0.8.8 are also known good. It still might be related to aicp ROM, but given the fact you successfully used inviu we probably can rule that out too.
I was wondering whether you could check the adb logs whether there's something strange? If so, I'd be happy if you could provide us some logs.
Which terminal command should you use to get the adb log? Is this correct: adb logcat | grep radiobeacon ?
That should work. To get a even more verbose output, try
adb shell ps | grep org.openbmap
It'll show you the running processes. In output's second column, you'll find the Radiobeacons PID
Then do a
adb logcat | grep <ENTER PID HERE>
I think I have similar problem, after some time application is left with scanning on. Application dies, tray icon disappears, scanning if off but session is still open. To resume scanning I have to select session, save it, start again.
Just for your info: noticed that there are several people listed at "monthy stats" at www.radiocells.org who have collected zero cells. Also OP is there with another name. Maybe this bug concerns many people.
I have similar issue, cells are not always scanned. I just drove 15km and it found 1000 WiFis but only one cell (should have 17 cells)
I too have this problem. It was working correctly previously but lately I seem to get just one cell tower in my journeys. I have not changed anything on my phone lately and tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times now. Running LineageOS 14.1 build on a dual SIM device without Gapps - using MicroG instead. Does the app generate any logs that can be examined?
This weekend I installed various different Marshmallow and Lollipop ROMs on my Mediatek phone. All detected cells with SIM1 set for preferred data but none when SIM2 is used. This is strange because MozStumbler worked correctly using their CellScanner service. I cannot identify the problem in the code but maybe someone more knowledgeable can help...
