I guess?

Pretty cool, but the settings page isn't working right. I open the settings and then it closes out back to the map after like 1 second. A couple of tries and I managed to unselect the "group icons" thing.

Like the color coding for snow depth.

Phone is a moto x with 4.4.4

Thanks for the update. I'll check into that also.

Everything was working great. Just got a warranty replacement phone and I'd swear one of my sites is missing. Saddle Mountain. MT/ID boarder. There's a nice ski area there. Losttrail Pass. Would really like that one.
Weird, huh?

The other day it wasn't loading any sites so I restarted the phone, now it crashes every time I try to open it.

This has been happening to a few people now. Nothing on the download or map side of things changed, so I'm having a hard time nailing down what is going on.

Are you getting the map view and does the screen show "download latest..." ?

[jamal]

Right now it doesn't even get that far, just crashes immediately.

I just looked at the NRCS site. The snow depth for both those areas on the pass there are posting -99". The app checks for any snow depths that are under 0, as in are they negative, and then discards them. When the snow sensor is working again, they will show up again. I'll get rid of that feature in the next release here since you can favorite any site and get more than just snow depth.... Temp, SWE, etc... is important also for sure.

The app is working otherwise?

Thanks for the update!

Are you using NOAA sites?

[stuckathuntermtn]

Thanks for the clarification. Working great!

[jamal]

Are you using NOAA sites?

I think I had the USA snotel sites selected. I can't get there to change it so I'll try a reinstallation.

E- did that, working again.

So the noaa info was the issue? Thanks fur the update.

[jamal]

Maybe? I think I changed to that at one point to see what would come up, then went back.

on a gs4, no data sites will show up on my map

Are you still seeing no points? Make sure USA data is selected and not noaa. That NOAA data is junk. Hopefully have an update out soon.

[stuckathuntermtn]

For a few days I wasn't getting any either, but I think the problem was on the DNRC's server.
Just checked and I'm seeing sites. Maybe just clear cache and force stop the app. That way when you start it again it will definitely try reconnect with the server and pull sites.

FYI, updated my phone to the latest Android software last night. App is crashing upon start every time now. Not sure if it's due to the new Android, or because the phone was restarted. Just a heads up. Awesome app though, I've been waiting years for someone to put something like this together. Thanks!

Can you uninstall and reinstall the app?

[murph]

Just tried, no luck.

[buildakicker]

Can you see a folder called snotel on your device with a file manager? Try and delete it. BTW, are you running android 5+ now? Thanks for the help

[murph]

Working fine today. Not sure what was up.

[buildakicker]

Were you on a certain connection ? Wifi or 3/4g?

I'm rewriting it for next year. I've learned a lot since embarking on this project

Not sure about what connection I was on.

One thought, since you're rewriting it. Any way to do a 12 and 24 hour snow total? Should just be simple subtraction of the numbers.

[buildakicker]

Ya, graphs is on of the features I want to include. I'll try and get the data for the totals there.

I've updated the snotel app. It is way more stable. I am working with a better data set from the NRCS. Check it out for 2016-2017. Join the Beta to test releases!
