Crowd-sourced alerting issue

[johnboy00]

@ferius is on the road and asked me to relay an issue with crowd-sourced alerts in HwR when alerting distance is set to more than 4 miles. Please reduce alerting distance(s) to no more than 4 miles until the issue can be resolved.

Thanks,
JB

im having this issue right now, im not sure if it's the same problem, but even with less than 3 miles being set it is still having connectivity issues, i haven't changed any settings from when it was working Saturday.

Turns out it's not distance related, but something else. I'll let ferius elaborate when he's able.

Okay, found couple minutes with a computer here. Sorry for the delay, I'm traveling now, don't have much time.
The crowdsourced server slightly changed the protocol, which resulted in broken compatibility. Turned out that HwR and WzSabre got affected. JBV1 fetches alerts a bit differently, so it wasn't affected by that change.
I'm deploying the update for HwR right now (should be reviewed soon), and trying to reach out to @schuster to get the WzSabre fixed (it is late night where he lives, so it may take some time to update the WzSabre).
Sorry, for the inconvenience, I'm doing my best to fix this asap.

I only started looking at this the other day so when it didn't work this afternoon I assumed I did something wrong. So thanks for staying on top of this and making such a quick fix.

FYI... WzSabre update v1.3 is out now

I was wondering if this was a problem others were having. It's been like this for close to a month for me. I updated to v1.3 and the same problem still exists. Hopefully, a fix will come soon. Until then, I'll use the other crowdsourcing app.

Pace, I was having the same issue but was resolved after I updated WzSabre to 1.3

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but it's still having connections issues. I can't figure out how to update from within the app.

@Izzyrd, what version is running on your phone?
In Android, go to Settings>>apps>>WzSabre
Open
Scroll all the way to the bottom.

Check and see if you are on 1.0 and having the same issue that I was.

I believe you have to have 1.2 before you can update to 1.3 via app? Not 100% sure but if you can't update via the app, might be worth getting APK 1.2 from the post and then updating

1.1 added the update feature. It's the same thing as pulling the 1.3 .apk and installing. No need to grab an old version to update.

Good to know @YelloEye , appreciate the clarification

Thanks. I was on version 1.0 so I uninstalled and found the ver 1.3 on the thread you referred to and it's working now. I tried searching for that but just couldn't find it. I appreciate the help.

I installed 1.3 WzSabre, but still get the "unable to connect" on crowd-sourced alerts. "Internet problems" at the top of app.
