Crowd sourced alerts issues... anyone else or just me?

[001]

I'm getting an error pulling in crowd sourced alert data from vvaze.com. Anyone else having similar issues?

Issue looks to be with the sabre plugin. Only has the error when the "fetch crowd sourced alerts using the sabre plugin" is enabled.

Hm, interesting. Possibly an issue with the SABRE to HwR communication. Assuming you use WzSabre, have you updated to 1.1?

Yes running 1.1

Yes running 1.1

What is your phone model and Android version? Could you also ensure that both HwR and WzSabre are whitelisted from any "battery optimizations"?

Whitelisting wzsabre and hwr fixed it. Thanks!

I have disabled batt optimization for HR and vvzsabre. All the settings at startup are green.

Tried restarting, same luck. Using newest version of both apps.
Airplane and GPS show green
Crowd source says no data yet

Hm interesting. Have you opened the WzSabre app without Highway Radar? Some phones may ask additional questions regarding "optimizations" at that stage.

Weird. What phone do you use?

Can you check if you have data saver enabled?

I allowed data to be used in the background for HR and VV Sabre.

Closed all apps and reloaded, no luck.

Hm, that sounds really weird. I could suggest to reboot the phone, but I don't think it will help.
When you start the HwR, does a persistent notification from WzSabre appear in the notification bar? You should see two notifications when the service is running -- one from HwR, another from WzSabre.

No I just see the nothing else.
I am using version 1.2 should I delete both apps and and maybe try version 1.1 HWR?

I don't think an older version will help. To my best knowledge, @schuster made only cosmetic changes in v1.2.
However, now I have an idea of what is going on. Now I need to find out, why is it happening...

Let me delete everything after wiping the cache and data and try it again just for hopes it will work. Then I'll restart

Don't forget to backup your HwR settings to save time later on.
I'll try to reproduce that on Android 7.0 emulator for now.

Well, unfortunately I had no luck.
Deleted HWR and vvzsabre after clearing data and cache.
Reinstalled both again
Restarted phone
Diabled data saver as well as battery saver

Still no luck.

I have to go now. I'll do some research later today. I'll let you know of the results.

I couldn't reproduce this in the emulator. However, I have an idea of a workaround, that should make it work. I'll need to slightly update the SABRE protocol documentation, and then ask @schuster to add some updates to the WzSabre (it may take some time).
For now, there is a workaround. Go to settings -> crowdsourced and set up a server name. Find what to put there on this page: https://highwayradar.com/reference/. Let me know if you have any difficulties here.
This will still pull the alerts, but won't allow you to report new ones.
