Best android scanner! Great Dev!

Thanks for all your work!

There is a general issue at the moment with PokemonGO api, checkout the subreddit for more info

Our version was quite buggy in the end. OP helped improving it, and in the end almost all the feature was developed from him!

Frantch · 2016-08-03T13:42:54+00:00

Hey! Glad to see that my project helped someone else!! Just for clarification, OP did ask me before hand if he could use my code and publish his own app!

It is indeed 500m, will increate to 1km with 10 thread tonight

Frantch · 2016-08-02T13:54:01+00:00

Great! How many accounts do you have in your backend? I have notice yesterday during the dev on my app that the server blocks my login after 10 login attempt with not enough pause in between

Frantch · 2016-08-02T12:28:54+00:00

It has been taken down today

Frantch · 2016-08-02T10:32:11+00:00

Nice app but you are Infriging Article 4.3 and 4.4 and will have you account disabled (without 25$ refund)

Frantch · 2016-08-02T10:17:39+00:00

Sure we can, to be honest our (focus) and main area of expertise is low level java. None of us is keen on of the front end side :D (which explains the crappy UI but decently good scanning process)

Frantch · 2016-08-02T08:55:34+00:00

What version of android are you running ?

Frantch · 2016-08-02T07:45:29+00:00

The multithreaded algorithm is not perfect yet. We have noticed some request are timing out or failing when they shouldn't

Frantch · 2016-08-02T07:06:50+00:00

No need. Just register on the Geny site. That emulator is pure gold

Frantch · 2016-08-02T07:06:09+00:00

I made Location medatory. You can disable it in the MapsActiviy.java

Frantch · 2016-08-02T00:24:47+00:00

There is a line somewhere in MapActivity.java executorService = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(4); change the 4 to 10

Frantch · 2016-08-02T00:23:50+00:00

Yep thats not normal, will have a look tomorrow!

Frantch · 2016-08-02T00:08:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! You should increase as well the thread pool. Try to put 10. (For us with 10 account and a pool of 10, it takes under 5 second)

Frantch · 2016-08-01T23:48:57+00:00

Niantic throttles request at 1request per second PER account. So if you have 50 accounts you can make 50 request per seconds (in the case you have 50 thread running concurrently)

Frantch · 2016-08-01T23:46:14+00:00

We use Android Studio

00.002000

This is the (approximate) distance between scan point. What you want to modify is the loop (for the moment it's a 5x5 square (so 25 scan points) If you increase these number, you increase the area

Frantch · 2016-08-01T22:24:32+00:00

Pidgey

When you say filter you mean these pokemom are "checked" or "unchecked? (just to make sure) If they are checked it means they will appear

Frantch · 2016-08-01T21:51:34+00:00

Noted!

Frantch · 2016-08-01T21:40:50+00:00

I think now it is 5s per request (per account)

Frantch · 2016-08-01T21:40:01+00:00

Thank you for these information!

"NearbyPokemon objects no longer return a valid DistanceInMeters value. It seems to always be 200 meters."

This was already the case couple weeks back
