Deleting the ten-minute polling loop left the "auto upload" switch in settings with no
consumer - the operator could turn it on and nothing would ever act on it, which is worse
than the loop it replaced.
Uploading now happens when a contact is saved. That is what the switch always meant, and
doing it at that moment means somebody is present to see the outcome: a partial failure
says so, and the QSOs that did not go stay in the queue for a manual upload from settings.
The loop reported nothing at all - a grid mismatch hit an empty if block and every other
failure retried forever in the background.
The upload goes through the view model rather than the composable, so the log screen still
touches no repository.
WaveLogApi decided an upload had succeeded from the HTTP status alone. Wavelog validates
after responding, so a rejected QSO comes back as 200 with `{"status":"failed","reason":
"..."}` - and the uploader then called markUploaded and dropped it from the queue. The
contact was lost and the operator was told the upload succeeded.
Response shapes are transcribed from the Wavelog API reference, not guessed: success is
`status: success` or `successful`, a duplicate is `status: dupe` with a 200, failures are
`status: failed` with `reason` or `status: error` with `message`.
WavelogResponse reads the body. Four outcomes: accepted and duplicate both clear the
queue entry, because the log holds the QSO either way; rejected keeps it and surfaces the
server's own explanation; and a status field we cannot recognise also keeps it, since
costing a retry beats losing a contact. Parsed as text rather than with JSONObject because
org.json is compileOnly in core:domain and a JVM test would otherwise assert against a
stub. Whitespace around separators is collapsed before matching - a first attempt listed
spacings and missed `{ "status" : "failed" }`, which a probe caught.
Two other things in the same area.
The ten-minute auto-upload loop is gone. It retried the queue in the background with no
way to tell the operator anything: a grid mismatch was swallowed by an empty if block and
every other failure retried silently forever. A QSO that cannot be uploaded now waits for
a manual upload from settings, where the result is actually shown.
The upload path no longer builds user-facing text in Kotlin. UploadOutcome carried a
pre-formatted Chinese string, so the message ignored the device language whatever the
locale files said. It now reports a Reason the view model maps to resources, which needed
a format-argument overload on IShowToast to get a count into a localised message.
The previous commit listed the refusal wordings it knew - "invalid login" and "login
denied" - and skipped everything else as chatter. That list was incomplete. Probing the
parser against responses captured from live servers found three it missed:
# Login by user not allowed observed on rotate.aprs2.net
# Port full
# Server full
Each was skipped as a keepalive, so the login timed out into Unknown, Unknown is
deliberately read as "may be working", and every send afterwards reported success to an
operator the server had refused. Exactly the failure the previous commit fixed, reached
by a different wording.
Inverted: identification and keepalive comments are recognised positively, and anything
else the server says during login counts as an objection. The trade is that an unforeseen
harmless comment would read as a refusal - but that errs towards reporting failure rather
than claiming success, which is the direction this feature has been wrong in throughout.
The keepalive prefixes come from a live capture rather than guesswork. aprsc repeats its
own identification with a timestamp every twenty seconds:
# aprsc 2.1.21-gbfc2090 25 Aug 2026 16:41:07 GMT T2UK 195.201.15.71:14580
Two tests had invented a `# Tue Aug 25 ...` date line and a `# keepalive N`, neither of
which any server sends. Both now use the captured format.
Also here: the QRZ cookie test in settings goes through the repository instead of
scraping from the UI. It was the last caller of QrzGridClient, which is deleted, and it
built its result from hardcoded Chinese strings inside the composable - those move to
resources, and the four outcomes are now distinguished, where before an expired cookie
and a station with no grid on file produced the same message.
An auditor ran the plan's own release gate against live APRS-IS servers. It failed at
the login step, on every server tried:
sent: user N0CALL pass -1 vers Look4Sat-4.5.4
got: # Invalid login: software name and version are not separated by a space
Reproduced on euro.aprs2.net and noam.aprs2.net, aprsc 2.1.21. `vers` takes TWO tokens,
a software name and a version. An earlier commit read the rule "softwarename must not
contain a space" as "the field must be one token" and hyphenated the space between them
- and the unit test asserted that as correct, so the mistake was frozen in place.
Worse than the malformed line was what happened next. `# Invalid login:` is a comment
but not a logresp, so parse skipped it as keepalive chatter; the login then timed out
into Unknown, which is deliberately treated as "may be working"; so `ok = sent &&
!refused` was true and the operator was shown "APRS: report sent OK" for a login the
server had refused. That is v4.6.0's defining defect - every send reported successful
regardless of outcome - still live on the exact path every operator takes. The rebuild
narrowed it rather than closing it.
Both halves are fixed: the name and version stay separate tokens with whitespace
collapsed within each, and a refusal comment is classified as a refusal before the
logresp test. A socket test now replays the server's actual bytes.
Three smaller things from the same review:
The foreground service type goes back to dataSync. The previous commit chose location
to escape dataSync's six-hour cap, but a location-typed service is refused outright
unless a location runtime permission has already been granted, and the settings card
requests only notifications - so it would have failed silently for anyone who declined
location access. The cap that prompted the switch applies only when targetSdk is 35 or
higher, which this project does not declare. A test now reads the manifest and the
service source and fails if they disagree, which is the only way this class of defect
is visible from a JVM test.
The version string in the login was 4.5.4 while the app was 4.6.0. Now split into name
and version and corrected, though it is still hardcoded - core:data has no BuildConfig,
so passing it in properly is a separate change.
The passcode hint said "empty = auto-computed from callsign" in all five locales. The
app stopped doing that two commits ago; it now connects receive-only, and the hint says
so. It was the first thing an operator read next to the field, promising the behaviour
that was deliberately removed.
Not fixed, and known: the notification body is rebuilt from the previous cycle's state
so it can show a stale verdict, a deliberate receive-only choice is still styled as an
error, and no last-success timestamp exists - so an operator still cannot establish
whether their station has ever reached the network.
The previous commit changed the manifest's foregroundServiceType to location and left
startForeground passing FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_DATA_SYNC. AOSP requires the passed
type to be a subset of the declared one - location is 0x08, dataSync is 0x01 - and
throws IllegalArgumentException otherwise, a check that has been there since API 29.
That throw landed in the surrounding catch, which calls stopSelf().
So APRS started, died, and said nothing. No notification, no beacon, no Toast, no
last-report row, and the settings switch stayed on because the config had already been
saved. This is worse than the defect the rewrite was written to fix: reporting success
for packets that never left at least sometimes worked, whereas this never ran at all,
on essentially every device in use, with no visible symptom. Two auditors found it
independently by reading the constants against AOSP's own check.
Two more findings from the same review.
Receive-only was reported as a wrong passcode. Both a deliberate -1 and a mismatched
entry log in with -1, and the server answers "unverified" to each, so the operator who
chose receive-only - the one way to test a setup without putting anything on the network
- was told to go and fix the passcode they had set on purpose. The report now carries
whether receive-only was asked for, and says so instead.
The card could show "failed - sent". The detail string was the write's own verdict, and
a write that succeeds on a refused login is exactly the case where those two disagree.
A failure now reports what actually failed.
Also: the packet is built before connecting. The reporter used to open a session and log
in only to discover it had nothing to send, which for an operator with no station
position set meant a pointless login every five minutes.
Still outstanding, and the reason this is not enough on its own: nothing tests the
service, so neither this defect nor the missing line terminator in 7ac54f0a could have
been caught by the suite. Both were found by audit. A location-typed foreground service
on API 34+ may also require a granted location permission before startForeground, which
the settings card does not request - that needs checking on hardware.
`submit()` opened with `if (call.length < 3) return`. During a pass the operator typed
a callsign, pressed done, and nothing happened - no entry, no message, no way to tell
the app had decided against them. None of the logging software surveyed for this work
- N1MM+, DXLog, PoLo, HAMRS - discards a submission silently.
Validation is deliberately loose, because strictness costs more than it saves. Checked
against 28 real callsigns, a typical strict pattern rejects 16 of them: W1AW/4, 2E0ABC,
9A1CCY and SV2ASP/A among others. A pattern permissive enough to accept those also
accepts a Maidenhead locator as a callsign. There is no regex that catches typos without
throwing away legitimate calls, so CallsignEntry rejects only what cannot be a callsign
- empty, one character, illegal characters, all digits, all letters - and reports doubt
as a warning that still logs the contact.
Two warnings exist. A six-character grid-shaped entry says so, because grid and callsign
are exchanged together on FM satellites and the fields sit side by side. A station already
worked this pass says so too, without blocking: the same station on a later pass is a
legitimate new contact, and contest loggers default to working duplicates - DXLog
describes refusing them as an outdated habit.
That warning also replaces the duplicate suppression, which was a 300ms window comparing
the last callsign, admitted in its own comment to be a workaround. It could silently
discard a real second contact, and a set of calls worked this pass is both honest and
more useful. It survives configuration changes via rememberSaveable.
Not addressed here: the QRZ grid backfill still reads the cookie out of SharedPreferences
from inside a composable through LocalContext, and still reports nothing when a lookup
fails. IQrzGridLookup is added for that, but wiring it needs the container, the view model
and the UI to change together.
The settings card had a "Compute passcode" button that derived the value from the
callsign and filled the field in. It was added by request, so it stayed while the
previous commit removed the same derivation from the connection path - which left
the app contradicting itself: the background no longer invented a passcode, but the
UI still offered to.
APRS-IS treats the passcode as a licence check and states that supplying it to a
user is the software author's responsibility. APRSdroid carries the identical
algorithm in the same source file and deliberately does not use it for this, opting
to validate what the operator typed and link out to request one. Filling the field
in claims a check that nobody performed.
The button now opens the passcode request page. AprsPacket.passcode stays in
core:domain because validating an entry means recomputing the expected value, and
its import is dropped from the card, which no longer needs it.
Two defects made every APRS failure invisible. sendPacket ended with
`.getOrElse { Pair(true, "OK") }`, so a read that threw - including on a dead
socket - was reported as a successful send. And the login check threw inside a
runCatching whose result was discarded, so a server that refused to verify the
passcode could not propagate: aprsc keeps such a client connected and its writes
succeed while silently discarding every packet, which the app reported as success.
An audit put it plainly - twelve commits are all fix(aprs), none added a
socket-level test, so "it worked" was never evidence a packet had landed.
sendPacket now separates the cases. A read timeout stays a success, because
APRS-IS does not acknowledge position reports and silence is the normal outcome.
A closed stream or an IOException is a failure. The catch order matters and is
load-bearing: SocketTimeoutException extends IOException, so reversing them would
mark every normal report as failed.
The login handshake follows the spec: read the server's identification line first,
then log in, then read until a verdict arrives. AprsLogin holds that as pure logic
in core:domain with the parsing that decides it, including one trap worth naming -
"unverified" contains "verified", so the negative has to be tested first or every
refusal reads as acceptance. An explicit refusal now fails the report and shows
the operator its own message pointing at the callsign and passcode, in five
locales. A response we could not parse does not, since the packets may well be
landing and blaming the passcode would send them to fix something that works.
Three defects came out of review after that. The verdict is now bounded by a
deadline rather than a five-line budget, because a server that sent six keepalives
before its answer turned an accepted login into Unknown - telling the operator
their passcode was wrong when it had just been accepted. The greeting gets a short
two-second probe instead of the full login window, which cost eight seconds on
every connect to a server that sends none. And a refusal detected in the greeting
now aborts the connection instead of being overwritten by the next read, which had
made that branch and its comment a lie.
The worst of the three was mine: rewriting the write as print + flush dropped the
line terminator entirely. APRS-IS is a line protocol, so the server's reader never
saw a packet, while the send reported success and the read timed out into the
"silence is normal" branch. It broke healthy connections rather than dead ones and
was designed to have no symptom. Both the packet and the login line now end in an
explicit CRLF as the spec requires, rather than println's platform separator.
That defect is why this adds AprsIsClientSocketTest, which runs the client against
a stand-in server and reads the bytes back: it asserts two packets arrive as two
lines, that a login line arrives complete, that keepalive chatter does not bury the
verdict, that a greeting-less server connects promptly, and that a send to a closed
peer reports failure. Nothing in the pure-logic tests could have caught a missing
newline. Note for anyone extending it: closing the ServerSocket leaves an
established connection alive, so the dead-peer test has to close the accepted
socket - assuming otherwise made a correct implementation look broken.
AprsPacket.formatLogin is deleted, its work moved into AprsLogin.line, which also
replaces spaces in the version string because the server splits that field on
whitespace and the shipped value contained one.
Carries the transcript-stall fix, which was committed but never pushed - v4.5.9 was
tagged at the version-bump commit before it, so the APK users have does not contain
it and their history box still appears to delete text.
Release notes gain one line in the five locales that carry them, describing that fix.
Three lines the release notes were missing, across the five locales that carry
them: the waterfall now spanning the whole audio band, the transcript following
new text, and the CW waterfall and AMSAT day cells being readable by a screen
reader.
The waterfall showed only the model's 400-1200 Hz window, so a tone outside it
was absent from the picture entirely. Measured on keyed audio, the brightest
column in that narrow view swings 1.01x between key-down and key-up against
13.76x for a tone in range - it carries no keying at all, so the operator could
not tell a signal was present, let alone where it was. Markers alone could not
fix that: they pointed at a frequency with nothing drawn there.
compute() now takes an optional bin range, defaulting to the model's own, so the
decoder path is byte-identical and the golden-vector test still holds. The
display asks for DC to Nyquist, 129 bins against 65. The FFT already computed
every bin - this only changes which are kept - so the cost is a wider copy.
The decoder window is framed and faintly lifted, since half the picture is now
outside what the model reads and nothing said which half.
Marker fixes found while reviewing the render: the tone marker was orange, which
is a colour the inferno ramp itself passes through, so a marker sitting on the
trace it pointed at was indistinguishable from the keying gaps in that trace -
invisible in exactly the case it existed for. It is cyan now, and both markers
are pips in a gutter above the spectrum rather than lines across it.
Also from the release audit:
- compute()'s bin-count guard was written as a three-term disjunction, which any
custom range satisfies regardless of bin count, leaving the model invariant
unenforced for the caller most able to break it. Rewritten as an implication,
with a Nyquist bound so no range can index past the FFT output.
- signalStrength was gated on a confirmed out-of-window tone, which is false when
detection fails - and it fails for a slow fist, measured at prominence 2.5
against a 4.5 threshold for 15% duty. So the meter still read half scale beside
an empty transcript. It now requires a tone confirmed decodable: 11 flow
combinations, 3 wrong before, 0 wrong after.
- detectedToneHz never expired, so after retuning into the band the hint kept
naming the frequency the operator had left, indefinitely. It now clears after
10 s without a tone, which is clear of any real gap - the longest being 1.7 s
between words at 5 WPM.
- The waterfall label read estimatedPitch while the hint read detectedToneHz, two
numbers up to 800 Hz apart both claiming to be the tone. Both read the latter.
- Removed a redundant toFloat() that the compiler warned about.
Accessibility, untouched until now: the waterfall was a bare Canvas and the AMSAT
day cells bare Boxes, so both announced nothing at all - on the status page that
is the entire content of the screen. Both now carry a contentDescription naming
the tone or the day's worst status and report count. The AMSAT tap target goes
from 28 dp to 48 dp with the coloured tile still 28 dp, so the grid keeps its
density. Strings in all nine locales for both modules.
Opinion split on the stripes, so Settings > Other now has a switch. On by
default, since the flat tile it replaced hid intra-day outages, which is the
problem the stripes were introduced to solve.
Flat mode is deliberately not the old behaviour. The old cell took its colour
from the first slot with a report and its count from that same slot, so a day
that worked in the morning and failed all afternoon read as "worked" - measured
across eight representative day shapes, two of them had their failure hidden
outright, and the count reported 1 where the day held 24 reports. Flat mode now
takes the day's worst status and the day's total count, so the summary can
understate detail but not hide bad news. The help text says so, in case someone
turns the switch off expecting the tile they remember.
The count is drawn in black or white by relative luminance rather than always
white: on the telemetry amber, white measured 1.83:1 against WCAG's 3:1 for
large text, and that cell does carry a count whenever a day held nothing but
telemetry reports. All six status colours now clear 3:1, the worst being 3.03.
SatStatusViewModel collects the setting rather than reading it once - the switch
is on another screen, so the operator is always elsewhere when they change it
and would otherwise return to the old style.
Strings in all nine locales.
AMSAT status page: 12 two-hour stripes per day, UTC calendar days, two distinct
greys for no-report vs no-data, and a data-coverage marker from the summary
endpoint that flags satellites crowded out of the global 500-record pull.
Grey meant two different things. The API caps at 500 records however many hours
are requested: measured against the live endpoint, a 72-hour request returned 500
reports spanning only 49 hours, so the oldest 9.5 hours of the third day had no
data at all. Those cells were painted the same grey as "nobody reported", which
claimed knowledge we did not have - 352 of 3168 cells on a real page, a third of
the third day's column.
Slots entirely older than the earliest report in the response now use a lighter
grey. Coverage is judged from all reports rather than per satellite: a quiet
satellite has no reports of its own, but the slots it shares with the rest of the
response were still covered, so it must read as "not heard" rather than "unknown".
The two greys are now in the legend, which previously listed only the four active
states. That matters more than it sounds: on the live page 81% of cells are
"nobody reported" and 11% are outside our data, so a user looking at a mostly-grey
row had no way to tell a dead satellite from a gap in what we fetched. The legend
chips use a solid dot, so the two greys stay distinguishable despite the 25%
alpha background. Strings added to all nine locales.
Three tests cover it: a day entirely before the data starts, a day straddling the
boundary, and an empty response marking nothing as covered.
DeepCW only analyses 400-1200 Hz - its input tensor is 65 bins wide, fixed at
training time - so a CW note outside that range is invisible to the decoder.
This adds an opt-in preprocessing step that moves such a tone to 800 Hz, the
window centre, extending the usable pitch range without touching the model.
Single-sideband mixing via a 63-tap Hilbert transformer. Plain real mixing was
measured and rejected: shifting 1500 Hz to 800 Hz left a fold-back image at
1000 Hz at 0.999 of the wanted amplitude, inside the window. Zero-stuff
upsampling plus lowpass handled downward shifts but left a 0.996 image when
shifting 300 Hz upward. The Hilbert approach measures clean on nine tones from
150 to 1550 Hz: one peak at the target, nothing above 0.3 relative amplitude.
In-window energy for a 1500 Hz input goes from 6.8% to 94.6%.
Only out-of-range audio is processed. A tone already inside 400-1200 Hz is
returned untouched (same array instance, no copy), and with the setting off the
audio path is exactly what it was before.
CwToneShifter.Streaming carries the Hilbert filter history and mixer phase
across capture chunks. Shifting each chunk in isolation left 62 of every 320
samples convolving against zeros, inflating envelope ripple to 8.7x the
whole-buffer baseline. A residual difference in the last ~3 samples of each
chunk is causal and documented: those output samples would need input that has
not been captured yet.
Detection pools chunks rather than gating on one. A capture chunk is 4410
samples at 44.1 kHz but only 320 after resampling to 3200 Hz, so requiring
1280 samples in a single chunk would have made the feature dead code - the two
independent audits both found this before it shipped. Detection now runs on a
pooled 0.4 s window, at most every 2 s.
Toggling the setting or a change in the detected shift drops the buffered
audio: the 20 s window would otherwise keep decoding samples moved by the old
amount, and the pitch readout could only be correct for one of them. The
readout itself subtracts the active shift so it shows the pitch on the radio,
not the shifted one.
Settings: OtherSettings.cwToneShiftEnabled, off by default, persisted and read
back in SettingsRepo, toggled from the Other card in Settings with a help line
explaining the 400-1200 Hz limit. Strings added to all nine locales. The
decoder reads the flag per chunk, so the toggle applies without restarting
capture.
Debug: the enabled-state transition, each detection verdict (no tone / inside
window / shifting by N Hz), and every shift change are logged, with the noisy
paths throttled to the 2 s detection interval. CwProbe records shift changes
only, keeping well inside its 1 MiB cap.
Tests: 8 shifter tests (detection sweep, noise rejection, pass-through
identity, image-free shifting across 8 tones, end-to-end spectrogram energy),
8 streaming tests (chunk continuity, history retention, reset semantics, chunk
sizes above and below the history window), and 6 gate tests including a
regression guard that a 320-sample chunk must be able to reach the detection
threshold. All 53 CW tests pass, golden vectors included.

Update whatsnew in all 4 locales (en/zh/tr/id+in) to document the 10 bug
fixes shipped in this release:
- Menu layout: Settings永久消失, AMSAT/WavelogLog forced migration
- DataParser: epoch parsing for UTC 00:00:01–00:01:26
- Radar: auto-switch to next pass, live Doppler offset
- Passes: division by zero in progress calculation
- SatelliteRepo: concurrent calculatePasses race
- WaveLog: duplicate QSO submission, grid square update race
Release notes now include both the DeepCW fp32 migration and the 10 fixes.
Per upstream author feedback (PR #233) and tablet UX report:
- Bottom bar keeps max 5 primary destinations: Satellites/Passes/
AMSAT/Map/Settings; Radar moves to the More menu (still reachable
from Passes via item click)
- Legacy migration: persisted orders are rewritten in memory
(main menu drops Radar + appends AMSAT; More menu drops AMSAT +
appends Radar) so existing installs get the new layout
- Wide screens / tablets (width breakpoint) now use the side
navigation rail instead of the bottom bar - fixes the wasted
bottom strip ("big chin") in landscape/tablet layouts
- New AMSAT tab icon: MDI satellite-variant (Apache 2.0,
https://pictogrammers.com)
- What's new updated in 5 locales; version 4.5.6 (457)
- P0: fetchStatus() now runs on Dispatchers.IO - the previous
synchronous URLConnection on the main thread threw
NetworkOnMainThreadException and showed "load failed" on every open
- P1: refresh button rotates a vector icon (ic_refresh) instead of the
"↻" text glyph, whose off-center font metrics made the spinner
orbit around a shifted pivot
- P2: error state gains a Retry button (4 locales); amsat_refresh
string added (5 locales)
- versionCode 456 (bump for reinstalling over 455), versionName stays 4.5.5
- Replace HTML parsing with the official AMSAT Satellite Status API v1
(catalog.php + reports.php, JSON): AmSatApiClient (pure JVM, hand
rolled ISO-8601/epoch parsing for minSdk 24) + rewritten
AmSatRepository (satellite list from catalog, reports slotted into
6 days x 12 two-hour slots, status colors per report value)
- Fix edge-to-edge: status bar / navigation bar insets on the status
page (refresh button and update time were unreachable)
- Version 4.5.5 (455), What's new in all 5 locales
All Chinese comments (//, /* */, KDoc) across core/app/feature/build-
logic translated to English (550 lines, 73 files after FT8 rollback).
Code logic untouched - comment text only. Verified: all modules
compileDebugKotlin BUILD SUCCESSFUL.
User-prioritized WaveLog fixes (4.5.5, commit-only per instruction):
- QRZ 对方网格爬虫: QrzGridClient (domain, pure JVM) fetches
https://www.qrz.com/db/{call} with user-supplied cookies (parses
EditThisCookie JSON or raw "k=v; k=v"), extracts Grid Square from
the Detail table. Cookies NEVER built in - entered in settings.
- Settings: WaveLog card top-right gear opens QRZ cookie dialog with
test query button (detects logged-in callsign from cookie, looks up
its grid, shows result or failure in the dialog).
- LogTab: on Enter, async lookup of the other station's grid ->
queue.updateGridsquare -> uploaded with QSO (postQso gridsquare).
- LoTW satellite list: 112 names embedded (lotw.arrl.org config.tq6),
normalizeSatName maps Celestrak TLE names to LoTW names (SAUDISAT-1C
-> SO-50, FUNCUBE-1 -> AO-73, DIWATA-2B -> PO-101, ZARYA/ARISS ->
ARISS); "Update sats" button in WaveLog card downloads the live list
(LotwSatellitesRepo, SharedPreferences persisted, never in build).
- RST: rst_sent/rst_rcvd = 59/59 in both v1 ADIF and v2 JSON.
- Grid mismatch dialog kept (cloud station grid vs station QTH);
QSO gridsquare no longer uses station grid.
- New strings in 5 locales; check_strings 9 files OK.
Verified: core:domain/data + feature:settings/radar + app
compileDebugKotlin BUILD SUCCESSFUL.
Added to the prefs_outro_thanks list after BG7NTA in all 5 locale
files (values/zh/tr/in/id), keeping the original bullet style and the
24dp spacer before the license block (user: keep bottom spacing).
Verified: check_strings 9 files OK.
User testing round 3 (4.5.4): no success feedback on upload, aprs.fi
shows nothing, passcode calculator OK, notification present.
- Manual report now works even when service not running: ACTION_REPORT_NOW
starts the service first (Toast "not configured" if missing callsign)
- Upload result feedback guaranteed: Toast always shows (short OK /
long fail+reason), last result persisted (time/ok/detail) and shown
in the settings card "Last report: HH:mm:ss OK/failed - detail"
- Position source: station position from settingsRepo (user decision)
with live GPS last-known as fallback
- sendPacket reads the server confirmation line (short 3s timeout);
server error text (Invalid/error) surfaces in Toast + card
- Strings EN/ZH/TR/IN/ID +4 keys
Verified: compileDebugKotlin all modules BUILD SUCCESSFUL,
check_strings 9 files OK.
User feedback round 2 (4.5.4): no notification shown, report not
sending, no error visibility on crash. Diagnosis: APRS-IS port 14580
reachable (verified with real login test), 24580 SSL refused; login
format OK. Fixes:
- Settings dialog: "Compute passcode" button - fills passcode from
callsign via the ported 0x73E2 algorithm (user can see the result)
- Global crash handler in MainApplication: stack trace appended to
files/crash_log.txt so crashes are diagnosable (user: no crash logs
were available before)
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS runtime permission requested when enabling APRS
(Android 13+ otherwise silently hides the service notification)
- AprsIsClient: read the login response (aprsc "# logresp ...
unverified"/"Invalid") and surface the server message as the error
- AprsForegroundService: Toast on manual report result (OK / failure
with server reason)
- Strings EN/ZH/TR/IN/ID +3 keys
Verified: compileDebugKotlin all modules BUILD SUCCESSFUL,
check_strings 9 files OK.
