dronenet scanner communication error

GorillaSapiens

Android 11, Redmagic 6, Prime 2.70.1

Pressing Dronenet, app hangs with throbber for 2 minutes, then says "scanner communication error" (in unreadable poor contrast colors, for too short a time), and then returns to the map view.

restarting the app DID NOT HELP, i still have this problem!

[yes, i have GPS. Yes, i am on a decent wifi connection (400Mbps down, 8Mbps up), yes it is a "good" phone]

a second restart seems to have cleared the problem.

Sometimes, way to solve this problem is just to clear your cache

Are you still seeing this, or did the second app restart clear the problem you were seeing?

@NianticBrian second restart cleared it. but in general, if i put my phone down for the night and pick it up in the morning and click "dronenet", i get the "initializing dronenet connection" FOREVER until i restart the app, or it times out like this. Generally, just restarting the app in the morning is the only good way to get things going.
