Bug: Prime needs restart when reactivated after moving
when you move out of scanner range with your phone in standby and reactivate Prime:
first: the map is shown empty, it takes far to long to show portals.
second: no interaction with the portals possible, Prime shows an empty error message.
This is not a speedlock issue. It also happens if you just reactivate the app after hours somewhere else. You have to wait minutes or restart Prime to solve it.
Prime 2.29.2, Huawei P9 lite 2016, Android 7.

even restart prime doesn't solve the problem not to be able to interact with portals after moving without opened scanner: I had the case of getting empty error message over five (!) minutes with several restarts of PRIME ... while REDACTED used in parallel was working perfectly fine.
I can second that. Even if you get prime to react, it does not load the missions nearby. And sometimes it let‘s you hack/glyph a portal, but you do not get a response. It just stays in limbo.
Restart sometimes works if you completely erase the app from memory, but in Android this is not easy to achieve. I think it needs some feedback from the server that is only given every 10-15 minutes. I have the impression that waiting that long before a restart works consistently. But of course this is only a hack, not a real solution to the problem :-(
