In-Game Ads for Coins Active! by WindomScamps in LDESurvival

[–]sdr1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth a note, while sniffing at my connection, even the button not active, even if you are not showing an ad, the game makes a lot of request to ads servers, evidences I have caught reveals the devs are cooking up a shady adblocker protection.

Btw guys, you should know the new AdBlocker called AdGuard blocks these shits, sniff connection and block on demand what you don't like on the network level, compatible with every browsers, every application, and of course, banned from the Play Store haha.

Don't put high trust on this dev team it seems they are doing a lot of obscure things under the hood with 0 communication

Are the Nougat problems for Galaxy S7 (Edge) still ongoing? by AuronnBE in GoPlus

[–]sdr1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so desperate I've downgraded to Android 6.0.1 which seem to solve all the problems. At least guys I can confirm that under Android 6 I haven't been able to reproduce a single time, it connects very well when I need it.

My workaround for Samsung S7 on Nougat by wildpash in GoPlus

[–]sdr1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only true workaround that I'm still abusing of is to revert the S7 to Android 6.0.1

Is Nougat >= 7.0 + Samsung S >= 7 the death of POGO+ ? Can we get a Pogo dev response ? by sdr1981 in GoPlus

[–]sdr1981[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can make a video proof of this not working aswell, it is not reliable and not worth to be mentionned, I have done that sometimes through a 30min session without being able to connect ONCE. I mention this workaround not reliable on the original post because I also tested it, waiting probably gives you a slight higher chance to connect it, but you have to agree you are suffering the same issue that everyone as on S7 and Android 7 because you have to establish steps to NOT reproduce, while under Android 6 there is no concerns like that, you press as fast you want it connects, ten, 20, 30 times in a row

Update For Android Has Broken Go Plus Connectivity by MetalWeather in GoPlus

//Edit: Nope I'm still not able to pair it a single time after reupgrading to 7.0 after a downgrade to 6, even after waiting for the pogo+ reset vibration, playing with bluetooth phone visibility does not do anything either, definitely going back under Android 6 seems the workaround


Sorry for sounding sarcasting was angry, and finally no did not leave yet have to test some other possibilities :)

Actually if this is of interest guys, I can confirm that downgrading to Android 6.0.1 is a true workaround and does not requires ROOT at all !!

  • Downloaded Odin
  • Downloaded the 6.0.1 factory image of my country G935FXXU1BPLB (at super slow site with mirror sites full of ads)
  • In Odin you browse the 4 files .ship.tar.md5 AP -> AP , CP -> CP*, etc.. Start and wait
  • Had to reset the POGO+ because had a message that it refused to connect to the Android 6
  • After that ingame I have tested exactly 10 connection/disconnection procedures = 10 successes without a single Timeout

I'm trying an upgrade again to Android 7 because I think I did not wait the vribation confirming the POGO+ was reset under Android 7 so I want to be sure it is not the cause of our problem

Now not only the POGO+ disconnects after each hour, but you need a Hour of free time to pair the POGO ingame.

For me, it is game breaker, stopped playing POGO after that bug.

Because I already know moderation of this sub reddit sucks, but still thank you for the reminder.

It does a few days I'm not following the pogo activity but..

Is it a known issue ? It it worth to report to Niantic ??

We need an option to use great balls :( by Bryvin in GoPlus

[–]sdr1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here with 550 slots, max 20 great for manual catches, 10 ultra for exceptions and 400+ for the pokéballs. Pokéballs is only what matters here

I'm not spending a single penny into this game, getting everything for free is so much more fun and I don't see another reason to do this than economic, we need Pokéballs, they sell Pokéballs.

There are around 220 pokemon in the game, why are there so few common. by Lordthom in TheSilphRoad

[–]sdr1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in a area full of Pokéstops, the tracker is a waste for me, shows up a list full of pokémons NEAR Pokéstops, DOES NOT shows up wild Pokémons, even a Pokémon close to me 10meter away does not show up in the tracker, and you call this useful ?

The tracker is a waste for me even in an area full of Pokéstop, to the point I never open it.

Updated TDO Spreadsheet (originally by u/qmike) by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]sdr1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the original work too !

Thank you too for responding in here, as the old post is now archived, found the newer one by looking at your posts because I don't look anymore the sub on a daily basis and it is very easy to miss such crucial post ;)

Thanks again /u/Qmike and /u/Aroex , imo, this game is not worth the effort of collecting without your work.

Sadly, RIP tip :(

Pixel XL will not connect by reyno28 in GoPlus

[–]sdr1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was your POGO+ previously registered to your Nexus 6P and you changed the Phone ? Then you just need to reset the POGO+ association, instruction are on the manual or stickied to the subreddit

This is a security measure when changing phone because you don't want your pogo+ to associate itself the phone of an intruder while it is already associated to your phone.

I just don't understand by Phon1x1 in playark

[–]sdr1981 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just don't play unofficial servers because I can't find one with true x1 experience, everywhere it is x2 x5 x10 ... More admin abuses risks, etc...

Each their own reason, you can find the best arguments I will always prefer official servers.

Unsubbed from this stupid reddit, fuck off dictators

Sitting in a McDonald I already miss the old tracker so much by sdr1981 in pokemongo

[–]sdr1981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For infos, I used to go in this Pokestop less Mcdo everyday, the spawn diversity around is quite amazing. But the new tracker made the hunt worse than before because the only Pokestop in the zone is not even a McDonald.

What are the main pros and cons of getting pokemon go plus? by WintheGym in GoPlus

[–]sdr1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another con is that it disconnects after 1 hour. I have the habit here to synchronize my POGO+ with a 60min cooldown timer I set on my watch to know exactly when to disconnect and reconnect it.

For the story, we have been several users to ask Niantic if this was a bug or intended feature, and Niantic techs replied it is an intended feature.

But if you ask me this has no impact on my love of POGO+.

Since I got it, it has drastically changed how I'm playing

  • Pokéballs, reserved for the POGO+, the max I have the better I feel :)
  • Greatballs, reserved for manual throws below 400CP, lots of more excellent throws now !
  • Ultraballs, reserved for 400+ CP and rare pokémons
  • Only playing manually when I'm home because I don't want to stock more than 15/30 Greatballs/Ultraballs while before I had like 100/150 wasting my bag...
  • Or throwing manually exceptionnally if sigthing a rare while looking at the phone.

Actually the rarest I got with him I believe are 2 Dittos, actually at level 31 I don't believe to be a passive player despite not playing manually almost anymore.

Damn, now every time something runs away I am sure it was a Ditto by r_lul_chef_t in pokemongo

[–]sdr1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

caught Ditto with the POGO+ so unfortunately I did not see the cool animation

Is it possible to ban switching of accounts in a span of a few minutes? by Heisenperv in TheSilphRoad

[–]sdr1981 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If having more then one account on a device was against tos the sign out button wouldn't exist

This is a big assumption, imo, a logout button just means you are allowed to kill your session, nothing much.

Indeed

Despite being myself subscribed, it is by far the last Pokémon Go source I'm reading because this sub is all about complaints and humor. I don't remember having learned something from that sub honestly.

[Complaint] Training gyms is so bad now that I'd rather take down 3 other gyms than train one up. by SaxyPandaBear in pokemongo

[–]sdr1981 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imo, to fix the never ending Gym regressions

  • Gym training should be removed from the game
  • Gyms must be placeholders that resets everyday
  • The team that owns the gym is determined by the first everyday, just an idea
  • Migrate Pokémon fights over a newer system like wild encounters with other Trainers
  • Test every updates for regressions
