Scanner Communication Error [1]

Is there any way to play INGRESS while being able to use other apps?

As of now the game works fine as long as you do not use any other apps while playing especially apps that use the 4G data.

As soon as you drop INGRESS to the background to do other things on your phone you will not be able to hack or use any portals as you get Scanner Communication Error [1] and restarting the phone and the app do NOT work.

I like to flip between ingress and youtube and that is impossible with Prime without getting Scanner Communication Error [1]

    That's speedlock.

    Switching apps can cause gps to move a little, which causes speedlock. Its overly sensitive.

    I get it alot just while walking.

    gps has been more drifty lately... i'm guessing updates in android to save power? the gps drift affects other apps, like google maps, but fortunately, they dont do speed lock like ingress does.

  • This bug makes playing impossible!

    It might be some sort of speed lock, but it's a ridiculous implementation, and works nothing like it used to in Ingress. Even regular bicycle speed with the phone on the pocket triggers this issue! Simply start ingress, make one interaction with the game, put the phone away and ride 15min on your bike... Boom! You're "speed locked" 🤣

    If this mechanism would be explained and work reasonable you could call it a feature, but this here is nothing more than an annoying bug that should be fixed already long time ago!

  • Never had this bug in redacted and I keep getting this now while sitting at home doing nothing but hacking.

  • This GPS speedlock bug is really annoying and even more frustrating that even restarting the phone doesn't help.
