This issue is widely discussed at the Wayfarer community forums also. If this is indeed under investigation, it would be nice to get a confirmation there also. All we have got so far is silence.
Oh, and nevermind my scepticism, but if this bug is acknowledged and under investigation, it just sounds very weird that no one bothers to calm down the users who have been complaining about this bug for months.
Was submitting and noticed the location is getting reset. Checked Wayfarer, four submissions have now been marked as fake nomination and location mismatch. Thanks NIA!
Yet another aspect of this game broken, if we have to wait for the fix like we're waiting for the lag to get fixed, maybe we can submit portals again in 2023.
can confirm this happens on iPhone 11 Pro with iOS 15 also. Had to pull a couple of submits because they were placed on my home instead of where they should be
I passed this along to the Wayfarer team and they've identified. I do not know an ETA of the fix but I'll share as soon as I do (or you find out before me via their channels 😁).
This issue still persists, along with the Portals Discovered count issue, i wont know why i should bother submitting anything anymore. I cant submit remotely and the count wont change if its accepted.
Well, it is the other way round, actually. The visited marker in intel is showing the portal correctly as visited (because portals created by you should be counted as visited). So that thing actually works.
What is bugging at the moment is the fact that the statistics in scanner are not updated.
So the intel map knows that you have created and thus visited the portal but your scanner does not. When you then visit the portal physically, your scanner gets the data that you have done an action there, and as your scanner does not understand that you have created and visited the portal, it adds +1 to your visited portals. So something like a "visited = untrue" value turning into "visited = true".
PS. While writing this, I seem to have 39 discovered portals not added to my Portals discovered stats. I really hope that those will get fixed retroactively...
Oops - you're right. I snagged a new thread; I'll start a new thread (I don't think you can un-merge) and see if I can move stuff around; otherwise, I just made things more messy - sorry about that all!
Alrighty... unless I misunderstood (always possible), I think the issue with location resetting has been fixed; unfortunately I myself cannot test this at the moment. Any of you lovely folks wanna LMK if I'm wrong? 😅
(Note: This is not the discovery not working fix - that's the other thread; this is just the location reset.)

Good to hear that it is on the radar finally, let’s hope you find a fix soon
just checked today after a new portal create, despite the unique visit marker showing up my unique visit stat didn't increased either.
i'll capture it later see if the stat change or if the visit point is definitively lost
I also had the ring but no stat increase on my last created portal
Discovering portals is one of the main reasons I play.
Not having it count to profile stats or even give the benefit is not cool at all.
Please fix this with fast and retroactively.

so after hack the new portal the visited stat gain 1pt.
so the visited marker is definitively bug on created POI
Can confirm this issue on 2.86.1 on iOS.

@NianticThia actually acknowledged the issue here: https://community.ingress.com/en/discussion/comment/158407/#Comment_158407

Just an FYI since we got confirmation on a newer thread than the one we've had for this, we've seen this issue for a few weeks now.

Also experienced this on iPhone 12 mini iOS 15.1.1. Ingress version 2.85.1
Appreciate the team working on this
Thanks for redirecting @iFrankmans!
I'm going to close and merge dupe bugs/threads to the one that I updated. (Sorry I missed this one everyone!)

Now it seems two different bugs are combined in one thread.
one was about the fact that location resets during the submission of wayspot candidates.
while the other is about not getting credits after a submission is approved.
this is not the same thing and did not start happening at the same time!
Oops - you're right. I snagged a new thread; I'll start a new thread (I don't think you can un-merge) and see if I can move stuff around; otherwise, I just made things more messy - sorry about that all!
Edit; there is one still open - we'll use that one and I'll see if I can move the posts to that thread that are relevant.

Again, sorry for this!
Well that can happen of course. Don't worry! Thanks for making sure the team is aware and will find a fix.
The most important here is that this will be fixed as it is rather demotivating to submit now.
Although it is not even possible currently with the rubberband on remote submits.
Old fashioned submits work still, thankfully. Just have to wait until GPS is at the 'correct' location :P
Let's hope they find the fix soon. (Unlike some other suddenly changed features that are past the one year mark #sad)
That's not workable, in a lot of cases I quickly snap a picture and back home find out whatever it was and submit it..
Yeah, I know. At least it is now possible to change the submission in the wayfarer nomination panel.
So now I quickly submit on the actual location and change titel, description etc when I’m back behind my pc.
That is another option yes, but if it goes quickly to voting you cannot change anymore.

Appears to work here, thanks
I'll leave this open a bit for some additional commentary from others before I mark this as resolved and closed. Thanks @iFrankmans!
I can confirm the issue has been fixed on my phone.
Fixed. Thanks. I hope I didn't get flagged in wayfarer, I have had four submissions marked as fake nomination. Anything that can be done about that?
Hi @Jo0Lz - I can't speak to that but I'll flag/pass it along to NianticTintino! (Have you posted to their community/support about it?)
