From Bugzilla https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1201257:

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2403.157 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I use Mozilla Stumbler regularly and it works alright most of the time. I use a Redmi Note 4G device - Kitkat Android OS.

Actual results:

Every now and then it stops detecting WiFi points or MLS Locations and only picks up WiFi points. The reverse also happens when I travel long distance, I end up collecting only Cell points and miss out on all the WiFi points. Again, MLS Locations show up every now and then.

Expected results:

As the area definitely has WiFi spots and Cell networks, its only natural to collect both. But this issue tends to happen quite often nowadays.
