I guess I expected a little more than just bug fixes? It mostly feels like this update is just to fix what they broke last time.
I mean that's what updates do. Not every update will have something added...
These patch notes are a lot different than the ones presented in the iOS AppStore.
On iOS the bug regarding the sound settings didn't exist, the kinetic capsule thing was server side. So I guess nothing changed on iOS except for the turkish language; if that bug was present on iOS.
Well, with the anomaly coming up; I was hoping for a fix regarding the latency.
But yeah, I don't really know what I was thinking.
They’ve got to be able to replicate the lag before they can fix it.
The only thing you have to do to replicate the latency is play the game...
And yeah, those patchnotes are different from the one posted here. I guess because of differences in iOS/Android. Anyway, kinetic capsule had to be server side, the spatial audio was added in the last patch...
Spatial audio wasn't actually added yet, according to Brian on Twitter.
When fix the notification for completed kinetic to phone ? i have maybe gotten once or twice that to work.
We fixed some old bugs and added some new bugs so we can write in the description of the next version:

Recursion of the software part of the ingress
When will the bug fixing process be completed and new content will appear???
If you’re waiting until all bugs are fixed, you’re going to be waiting a long long time.
****! Now i need to buy a new phone with android 8+
In the meantime, how am I going to be able to do the daily hack?
I start to feel like not playing anymore
For now, don't update to the newest version, the old one will stay playable for a few days. However, it was already announced a while ago that Andriod 8+ will be mandatory, so this doesn't come as a surprise.
Isn’t Android 8 quite a few updates behind? I understand that people aren’t gonna get a new phone every year, but I’m surprised that this is the first thing not to work on an older OS?
Gonna test more but from first look app uses more ram or CPU resources,works better than 2.94 because of that "arcore notification" is gone,but worse than 2.92 was. Was surprised that got alert about portal and it was in notifications part of comm without delay)))
Oh,and just after update got scary "Unable to load account data" message,relogin helped.
buy a cheap xiaomi redmi phone.. u can get those under 200$ easy
By the way kinetic still can stuck at 7.8km while "ready", and restarting app helps. Minor but annoying.
Hi, thanks for the information. For me it is a surprise. I was not aware. Do you know the News section in the Pokémon GO app? There you can see the upcoming events with a countdown to know exactly what day and what local time they start, as well as all the recent news with direct links to read them in full. Well, something similar would not hurt the scanner, so we agents would find out things like "Ingress will no longer be compatible with android lower than 8" ;-)
oh, and @mortuus, thanks for the "cheap" phone info, but I don't live in the U.S.A. I live in Argentina and my economy is not able to spend that amount of money. But thanks anyway :-D
Android 8 came out August 2017. Regardless of country, these isn't an affordable option for a phone with recent specs?
Yeah, I don't understand their strategy there either. All information is spread out across different platforms, even the popups with 'news' are not all the same; some are different type of popup...
In any case, they have to drop support if they want to battle the cheaters; but in turn don't make it impossible to stack bursters or use 'GPS Lock' on some Android devices. All logic out the window.
As I can see from developer menu,Ingress uses even less ram in my case(was +-250 mb up to 1.3gb,now +-160 mb up to 1.5gb),interesting...
Anyone else have the new red dot reappear today after the removal of Prime items? I'm thinking it may be a minor bug.
I think that’s intended as there’s technically a change in the Store.
Notes say it's a flag for new items in the store, we don't need another dot when it's removed.
Whenever there's a change would mean when the items are removed. Pokémon Go does the same thing when the boxes are updated.
Topic is about dead, but the Release Notes posted above states:
Not a red dot whenever there is a change to store inventory.
When a loadout is removed doesn't that technically mean that's a new loadout to the store? Anything deeper into this and it's didactic.
I really haven't time to look if something changed in store from morning,but if they will simply refresh store prices by +-1 CMU or by remove/add item will it trigger that dot just like campfire did once(I don't use it but its new so its marked with dot)?
Good call!
The Dot seems to appear when something changes in the store.
I had the dot today, what changed, removal of the prime day items.
Bug report coming up
Edit: bug report
By the way, kinetic capsule still isn’t done when the game notifies you. You have to restart the game. :/
I've been having that problem for quite some time - I get the kinetic capsule complete message when it reads 7.6. But no one else I know got it! I'll try restarting. Makes sense that maybe the server knows, but didn't communicate it fully to the client. It usually does that when I'm out walking - and I don't want to waste the extra 0.4k! Thanks!
Great. This was Just forced without Fürther warning. My Android 7 Phone did Not warn it cannot Update.
Why was there No clear in Game warning about a new OS requirement, maybe shown daily on affected phones? Standing somewhere and being told 'havent you read Release notes ' ist Not what I expected.
What ist this new OS requirement about anyways?
