Locking Up

Today, I made an activation and while just logging my FT8 contacts everthing worked correctly. Once I swapped to SSB, and the tried to hunt some stations the program would lock up when I would click from station to station while hunting, when I tried to delete a qso, when clicking between map and spots, anything I did it would lock up. I thought it was sometime with having FT8 and SSB in the same log. So, I created a new log for SSB and still had the same issue. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and everthing has work perfectly up until today.

Just to be clear with this - Do you mean clicking thru the spots? And having them fill your QSO entry panel?
Or clicking down your log i.e. into and out of edit mode?

It happened with both, qso’s I had logged and hunting.

Could it be cell coverage issue? Trying to lookup the callsigns?
Try just disabling the QRZ lookup and see if the lockups happen.

Turn it OFF here - your password won’t go away, it just temporarily disables it:

A similar problem here: if I select an existing operation and then click on a QSO, the app freezes. If I want to add a QSO to an existing operation from the spots list, the app freezes. If I create a new operation, everything works until the app is closed. When I restart the app, the same problem occurs again as described at the beginning. January '25 (pre1), Android Tablet A8.

OK - I am on Pre1 as well. I have a Galaxy Tab A7 and also a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
I have followed the steps above on both devices with no such hang up.
So it may be some other setting which is causing this.
Can you both list the lookups which are active as well as any callsign notes extension you may have?
I have tried with and without a park active.
Perhaps tell us the actual park or summit you have the operation based on?

Here are the setting in the whole app including one of the logs from yesterday.

OK can you please turn these off and see if the problem persists?

I went into the setting and turned off those three settings. Then went back into yesterday’s activation and as soon as I clicked on a spot like I was going to log the contact, it locked up. I closed the app, tried it again to edit a qso, locked up. Closed the app, made a new log, “worked” several pota spots, manually logged some callsigns, deleted a qso or two, went back main screen, back into the log, clicked a pota spot, locked up. Closed the app, went back in to the fake log, clicked on an logged qso, locked up. Closed the app, back into the fake log, typed in a call and logged it, clicked on a spot, locked up.

OK thanks - I think @KI2D will need to offer some suggestions here.
Thanks for trying this.

For me, the problem only occurs in split view mode. In normal screen mode everything works perfectly.

Thank you for the pre2. It seems to work :smile:

Yes, there was a problem when using split view on tablets. The latest “prerelease” version (pre2) fixes these.

I updated mine last night before I went to bed and did some quick testing. It seems like the issues are fixed. The app is AWESOME, and there are always new things being added. I have done a couple of presentations to our club with the app as we have some guys interested in POTA, plus I have told several others in the area and FB world as well.

Thanks

Awesome, thanks for spreading the word :smile:
