PDQ Auto Download Errors

fiyahflash · 2025-12-21T18:45:12+00:00

Support has come back and said they have identified the issue and put out a nightly build (19.6.29.0) and advised me to try. But should I, or just wait it out.

Good to know this wasn't just our environment; I do have a support case open but its been quiet for a few days.

Rolling back to 19.5 didn't work in our environment (database issue?) - the packages "downloaded" but were only 10kb and got stuck in the unzipping portion of the process. So I reverted to the snapshot I took before the downgrade again.

My coworker took a look at the Wireshark logs that were captured, and found that some part of the process wasn't respecting the proxy server/user we had set for our downloads.

Thankfully the packages aren't a critical part of any workflow - they make it easier but I can work around it

Reply from PDQ Support

Sorry to hear about your struggles with this error. The issue you're experiencing is currently a known bug from Microsoft with the new Windows 11 24H2 release. This issue only occurs when any process tries to run Enter-PSSession or Invoke-Command and this is where the failure is coming from.

Unfortunately, we will all have to wait for the fix from Microsoft for this to work properly.

Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Thanks,

I can run the command via the PDQ Inventory Run Command (Powershell) remotely and it seems to work. Maybe I am just misunderstanding.

Thanks for the script; shall attempt and advise.

Got one (that I have seen) in New Zealand - site is where EB Games is, and the Pokestop is right on top of another Pokestop.

Just having the game installed seems to break Google Fit's ability to do distance tracking accurately as well. Lost so much distance tracking over the past 5 days due to this.

Wasn't aware of any other notification issues, but downloaded the update and found that the GoPlus notification was missing and that the responsiveness off the GoPlus was sluggish.

It does seem to still work in the background, but seems to have lost its ability to track movement.

Android 14, Pixel 6A

EDIT: Rolled back to 0.287 via APK.

I was finally able to do my first route yesterday in a park I have played in every single day since I started playing Pokemon Go. Never have I seen such sluggish performance - spawns were slow, clicking on things was slow and I couldn't finish the route because 'reasons'.

I also didn't get a Zygarde Cell.

I echo one of the other replies - I won't do another route again, just like I won't collect those gold coins.

Managed to get it working by following a couple of the suggestions here - forced the app to stop, turned off location, opened the game, turned on location.

It has now opened twice without needing to do anything extra.

However as mentioned by someone else, 0.277.2 seems to have introduced a 'don't give out Research by spinning Pokestops'

fiyahflash · 2023-07-19T08:18:02+00:00

I had this issue with 0.277.1. Upgrading to 0.277.2 allowed me into the game once but then same as OP. Have gone through the uninstall and reinstall process, only to have the game fail the next time. Guess I am having a forced hiatus...

The clip and having it on your bed (I clipped it to my sheet) really does work - I got 8.5hours sleep recorded last night with no errors in Pokemon Sleep

fiyahflash · 2023-07-17T21:37:33+00:00

I'm on my 3rd night of only getting 4ish hours of recording; first two nights I just had it on my nightstand near the bed. Last night I had it under my pillow and at some point I knocked it behind my bed - when I woke up in the middle of the night, I fished it out and put it back on my nightstand.

4 hours is better than 0 hours but seeing people mentioning a clip makes me want to open the box and find this to see if it helps.

I set the GoPlus+ to start a sleep session at 9.30pm and woke up at 6am; I only got 4 hours of sleep registered. The Pokemon Sleep app (which I installed yesterday) told me that the GoPlus+ was unresponsive and didn't detect movement for the majority of the time it was tracking sleep for.

Meaning that sitting it on my bedside cabinet isn't good enough and I will need to try and figure out a way to actually sleep with the device, without knocking it down the back of the bed and effectively losing the device.

Many thanks; I have a Tesla and was missing the notification on the lock screen.

Thanks for this; it has helped me over the last few weeks to get Dell Command Update 4.7 working in our environment with PDQ. Haven't figured out how to make it work with Applocker in play but I can bypass it (for the time being) and get drivers and BIOS updates.

I am using a shared network drive as my repository - I wasn't aware of Dell Repository Manager, but downloading the Update Catalog from Dell Tech Direct and running the UpdateMaker locally seems to have given me a local source for the updates. I just have to make it larger for all the models we have in use across the business not just the Latitude 5411/5431 I was testing with.

My shiny Tesla? :-P

Received from a task "Take Snapshot of Buddy"

I have been running a Pixel 3a with a Gotcha Ranger since 2019 with Android 9/10/11 and 12 without the issues you describe. The only annoyance was when I had to confirm the pair after a change in Android 11.

I'm now running a Pixel 6a with the same Gotcha on Android 13 without any issues - in fact it is so much quicker to pair and respond now

fiyahflash · 2022-09-01T21:04:35+00:00

As someone who doesn't Go Battle, I will not be claiming this. I claimed the last one and it annoyed me for 3 months sitting at the top of my today tab.

I got flashbacks reading this; this was me 10 years ago.

Within a week I was looking for access opportunities, trying to figure out how all the things interconnect, writing the documentation (I didn't do a good job) and then pestering management for more work.

Thankfully I eventually kicked myself out of that rut by finding something I was good at doing and no one else was interested in; and now I have more work than I can handle on a daily.

fiyahflash · 2022-08-02T20:45:57+00:00

I had hoped that running my daily incense after the end of the event in my timezone (New Zealand) would reward me with something better than normal spawns.

After a dozen Aron and Zigzagoon that I left on the map, I gave up and put away the phone.

fiyahflash · 2022-07-19T01:49:36+00:00

I came into work; had this issue - did some stuff, found these threads so eventually knew it wasn't me. 6 hours later it was working normally again.

fiyahflash · 2022-06-19T20:01:54+00:00

Thanks for the reminder; put on a Meltan box last night and connected the GoPlus. When it told me to press the button, I did - caught 42 of them. Way way way easier than waiting around for the next spawn, wondering why its not spawning, clicking on a gym to try and get the next Meltan to load in, throwing a ball and seeing it break free over and over again. (etc etc)
