This is getting ridiculous, I don't want to change factions

Since the last update to 2.36 I have received this screen after a crash way too often, I think my record is 10 times in one day.

I currently use a S10e for my main device, is this a common occurrence for many agents or am I just unlucky. The last update just made things worse and today I panicked when I hit the faction I don't wish to be. Luckily it did not change my faction or do anything other than present the same screen 3 times in a row before it finally loaded correctly.

Of course I couldn't capture the neutrals that were going past due to the crashes.

Am I alone with this or not, your feedback would be appreciated.

    Haven't seen that once (s10e too). But obviously this should be fixed

    what lvl are you even ?

  • I am currently L9 after recursing during the double ap week

  • Ok thanks for letting me know, which variant of the S10e do you have?

    okay thats not normal then, u should only get this second time when u reach lvl 4.. u should make a ticket to niantic to report this.

  • Yeah I have, their suggestion was to clear cache/memory and reinstall and select your faction as you would.


    Both done now, so let's see how it goes. Would love to have the same stability as the old client.

  • I've seen that screen three times in my life.

    Once when prime hell week first came out.

    A second time when real ingress got buried, and I had to switch to this steaming pile of...

    And a third time about a month ago, shortly after 2.35 came out.

    Android js2 pure, so something to do with Android maybe?

    As usual, the high end devices seem to be suffering more. Though admittedly im.pretty pissed that they can't figure out how to make the virtual map's compass rose rotate to track virtual north on the virtual map. For some reason they think you need a magnetometer to track imaginary north. Not sure how they can tell the difference between the east-west roads and the North-south roads when they can't find imaginary north, but whatever. I guess I'm supposed to be grateful that it works at all.

  • Well NIA supports suggestion has seemed to work so far.

    I must admit I was dubious as to whether their suggestion would work but I haven't seen the screen since, so I am grateful for one less issue.

    The crashes as still ridiculous, this morning on a 2hr pushbike ride I had it crash 5 times, so let's hope the next update makes things more reliable.

  • Well the dreaded screen reappeared today, but only once

  • I got the faction change screen on 2.36.1 today, first time for me. It started with buggy behavior in the scanner, it told me I could link to any portal in the inventory. After restart, the nearest portal were missing from the scanner. After yet another restart it played loud music and asked me to select faction.

    Today, the scanner (2.36.1, since 2.37 is still not available for me…) was behaving oddly: I was being offered links to every portal I had a key for, and my bursters were doing no damage. So, I restarted Prime, and… was offered the faction selection dialog. This seems wrong. 😕

    Huawei P20 Pro. Been asked to change Faction too. L14 ENL. (Only once... yet.)

    Edit: 2.36.1

  • I’ve been getting the faction choice screen for the last hour too. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

    i take it I have to just keep force closing and trying again?

  • Me too. Since 2.36. I've seen it 3 times today alone. It's very frustrating. Doing a force stop and clearing the cache usually helps, but sometimes I have to clear all of the app data.

    GALAXY S10

    2.36.1 & 2.37.3

    I've tried uninstalling and installing, but that didn't help.

  • Yeah the last update this issue is now getting worse, I find the game doesn't crash like it was (which is welcome)

    But when you load the game fresh it now drops to this screen, sometimes up to 5 times in a row.

    I tried selecting my current faction as previously suggested and now it tells me in a dialog box that my level is too high

  • Last week my scanner crashed and when it reloaded it started going through the start of game/new agent process. I uninstalled then reinstalled the app and I then got the 'Choose your faction' prompt. After force closing and clearing the cache (not the data) I was able to resume playing.

    When starting the app this morning I received the 'Choose your faction' prompt again. Once again I was able to resume playing after force closing and clearing the cache.

    I'm running on a Pixel 3, Android 10 (Security patch 5 Nov 2019).
