iFly GPS Forum

Some more info since last post - I'd forgotten how easy it is to send in bug reports, but after a gentle reminder from Cobra, I did just that - actually 5 reports, all from a recent cross country flight. The tab locked up while using iFly at least four times during the 7 hours of flight so hopefully the uber gurus here can dig something out of the reports.

I'd like to be able to say something about great minds thinking alike, but I know me pretty well and so that rules me out....but I had already considered the SD card as a suspect and it had been replaced with a new card before the recent rash of freeze ups.

I had also reset the tab to factory default which cleaned out a bunch of apps that I hadn't used in a while - no dice. The other tech tip that I've tried is to change from the default Samsung Touchwiz launcher - I'm now using the Nova Launcher, but the freeze up issue is still ongoing. I hadn' gotten around to deleting the partion cache, but did so earlier today. I'll research some more on resetting the dalvik cache tomorrow.

Thanks again for your input and suggestions.

Ah, ok. I've been told by iFly that devices acting as a hotspot are unable to communicate with the hotspot clients, even though the clients can communicate with the hotspot and each other. Thought that might be the issue, but obviously not. The plan sharing works via UDP, meaning that the "sending" device just broadcasts in the blind and has no way to know if the message(s) actually make it to the other devices. iFly has worked on the UDP broadcasts, but it's still a shot in the dark and maybe the apple is afraid of the dark. ;)
