I just hacked an enemy portal and it popped up with a +100AP, but I didnt actually get the experience. I was at 8460AP before the hack and Im still at 8460 after the hack. Bugged?
I love Ingress, but damnit, how long is it going to take to fix the GPS issues? I’ve been playing since February and the damn arrow rarely ever points in the direction I’m facing and the dynamic compass WOULD be awesome if the screen didn’t shake insanely when enabled. And as for as I can tell, “location smoothing” does absolutely nothing.
My suggestion on the arrow is to ignore it. Leave compass static. The player arrow is partially tied to the accellerometer. Too many things in your environment can affect the compass like large metal objects, electric motors(wipers, alternator, fans, blowers), strong nearby magnets, etc. Instead 2 finger rotate the map and align it with nearby roads structures with the way your facing. Then use the big icon for a NSEW orientation pick objects you can see and call them NSEW.
As for the gps button it ‘does something’. You are on decode ingress. Decode how it works. This game is to make you think. Nothing will be handed to you. Nothing is instant understanding.
Quote: “New in v1.25.1 is a setting that lets Ingress agents toggle “location smoothing” on/off. In general you should get a more accurate GPS fix with this kept in the default “on” mode. When enabled, the Scanner uses wifi and cell tower data to smooth and refine your GPS location data.
An agent should change this setting to “off” if they feel that their location updates are laggy or incorrect.
Location smoothing is enabled as a default, because it generally provides a more stable and accurate experience.”
— There is nothing to “decode” about the game’s settings. I am saying that this setting seems to do nothing for improving the GPS like the changelog claims.
Not always, but I’d say 60-80% of the time. I mean, how hard is it to use whatever techniques Google Maps uses? I never see this issue with Maps. They are both owned by Google — share your code people ;)
Hopefully in the new update, they fixed the lag and the GPS drifting. It used to work fine back in the 1.25 & below versions. Every version after that, it drifts like crazy and all the cute little animations cause the game to run so slow and jittery. Or at least give us the option to turn off all that cutesy stuff.
I hate to say it but it’s been very very buggy for me. Constant errors with the weapon not found issue when attacking last night. The only way to get it to work was to use the old press-drag-up, the fire button or attacks from the OPs menu didn’t work. Had to restart the game fully to even try to fix issues, as re-sync didn’t work. A lot of data-lost erorrs when I had full “4g” connection.
That said, when it did work it was very awesome. The new hack animation is pretty cool, love not having the screen obscured. Also, from what we can tell, the fire button will fire the inventory you select. So if you go into OPs then choose L7 instead of L8 busters, fire, and then use the fire button, it supposedly keeps fireing from the L7 inventory. Can anyone confirm this?
And the most important update: INTELLIGENT PASSCODE REDEMPTION ERRORS!!! No more wondering if that code is wrong or dead or if you already claimed it then forgot. <3
Just to say that the “+Better support for the high density displays” appears to be very misleading as my HTC One has FHD screen and the update made the letters and fonts in the game really huge so the visibility on screen decreased at least by half and that made the game look way worse than it did before. All the other updates appear to be awesome so far though.

Not for everybody, it seems.
Bájate el APK aparte ;-)
¿y el link para bajarlo?
Doesn’t seem to be in Play store yet. When will this be available?
someone upload the apk?
Yep, it seems that the update is delaying for some devices :|
Same here :-(
It did say “in the next day or two”, not “at Google Play now”.
Just got the update on my N4. Can’t wait to see what’s new.

The “arrow” points North.
No, the arrow is supposed to point in the direction you’re facing.

Explore. Examine. Observe. Think. Learn. Grow. Repeat.

Is your arrow always pointing backwards from the direction you’re traveling in? Mine does that too!

The new XMP “modal firing mode” is definitely awesome sauce!
I can’t click on anything after making a screenshot on my S4 (I9505).
That’ll be the screenshot you’re trying to click on LOL!
