Android or wigle app stops scanning
Posted: Sat May 31, 2014 3:07 am
I'm confused why my android razr running cyanogenmod stops scanning after a random amount of time. The wigle app will no longer see APs. Sometimes if I switch wifi off and/or manually tell the phone to scan from the wifi menu the scanning will return. Often I have to reboot the phone and even then that does not always work.
Also, I found the app "wifi-fixer" hoping that could address a common wifi/android issue but it hasn't helped.
In the end my wardriving is not reliable. if I put the phone in my bag and ignore it I will be disappointed to find that it hasn't been scanning. And I verified there are APs in the area with another phone.
any help would be appreciated, my googling isn't finding decent results. Mostly I find links to "turn off google wifi idle scanning" and more links wo other war driving apps (which I've also tried)
