Glyph hack bug
So, glyph hacking is a big part of ingress, but it’s not working half the time.
start glyph hack, enter commands (more + complex) and the glyph sequence won’t start. Sometimes it does after entering the commands a few more times, but it’s getting annoying as hell, frustrating to glyph hack.
please look into this, reproduced on an android phone and iPhone.

Only had this once, and that was during the first half of the anomaly.
So whatever it is. It isn't just the scanner that's at fault.
Started few versions ago. Tested on iOS and android, it happens a lot. A lot of people I know also report this annoying issue.
Never experienced it on redacted, and didn’t in the transition period either.
Edit: someone really disagrees? ****, how can you disagree with an issue people are having.
Okay, so it’s number 559 on the open issues tab. Reported first in version 2.14.3.
Reddit thread also exists about this issue, describing it a little different.
Okay, so I've noticed that the ORDER of the commands matter!
If you do: Complex -> More the command screen will hang.
If you do: More -> Complex, the glyphs appear immediately after.
Go figure. Hope this helps someone out, and I hope they fix it!
So, from the upcoming patch notes:
Ingress Prime 2.37.2 will soon arrive on your devices!
Release Notes:
• UI: Removed chromatic aberration and left/right vignette on map screen. Goodbye blurry edges.
• UI: Fixed overlapping AP and codename position.
• UI: Added links to https://community.ingress.com (https://community.ingress.com/) and https://shop.ingress.com (https://shop.ingress.com/) to the Additional Resources screen.
• UI: Moved Settings menu build number below the X button.
• Bugfix: Sequential mission waypoint numbering starts with 1 (not 0).
• Bugfix: Successfully redeeming a passcode on Android displays a list of acquired items. After updating to 2.37.2, agents can test this with passcode BK8INGRESS7YC
• Bugfix: Fixed range efficiency stat on Charge screen for recursed agents.
• Bugfix: Fix for portal key photo albums.
• Bugfix: Speculative fix for hangs on command channel before glyph hacking.
Jeez, seems like it actually is an issue... Whoever pressed "Disagree", go figure huh?
Not sure why you are quoting me, I never disagreed it was an issue. I just said I personally have never (apart from the one time) had it happen to me
Not because you did or did not disagree, mostly because you stated it wasn't just the scanner at fault. This is confirmation that it is in fact an issue with the scanner, and I'm SO glad they acknowledge it and are fixing it.
Restarting the game every 10-15 glyph hacks is getting tedious.
(Sorry if you thought I was accusing you of anything)
What "open issues tab"?
The Google spreadsheet that Niantic ignores and is no longer maintained?
Or are you referring to something else?
I noticed that too, but yeah it's on there. Hoping it's fixed.
It seems to be fixed as of 2.37.2. 👍️
Got this bug 70% of all glyph hacks, and today after updating all hacks showed glyphs immediately.
Can confirm. On 2.37.3 on iOS, and haven't had the hanging command screen yet. Haven't hacked as much as the weeks before, but I'm hopeful.
