Multi packets not working - late packets #343

Closed slavendam closed 3 years ago

slavendam commented 3 years ago

Hi, there is problem with getting just one hotspot in Integration message all the time. What I need is to get all hotspots when I do mapping and testing.

This is really important feature, because lot of people try to do mapping and testing, and they can do that just for 1 random hotspot, not with all.

When can we expect to get this fixed?

Thanks :)

Did you turn or the multi packets feature? By default it will only purchase 1 copy of the packet.

If you did, do you see a lot of late packets? (they are filtered out by default you will need to check Show Dropped Uplinks:Late)

slavendam commented 3 years ago

Yes, multi packet for one device set to 4 packets, and on another is set to All packets - no difference. I can see them in Debug mode, and also when check "Show Dropped Uplinks: Late". This is really important feature!

Have you confirmed there's other Hotspots in the area to provide additional packets?

illperipherals commented 3 years ago

I can confirm this.

Yes, there are many hotspots. Same issue have few people from USA and UK.

macpie commented 3 years ago

Issue confirmed, I will be looking into it

This was addressed in https://github.com/helium/blockchain-core/pull/908

slavendam commented 3 years ago

This issue is still there. It is better then before, but still there. As you can see, we can get 2-3 hotspots sometimes, but there are bunch of these which are dropped. Same situation in EU and in US. @macpie
