ADSB mobile problems!

Post by Bucky P » Fri Jan 04, 2019 9:20 am

I've had ADSBEXCHANGE working on my mobile for a number of years with no problems but suddenly this week it's reverted to the desktop version and is unusable on my phone! Anyone else had this problem? It happened once before and I changed the desktop bit on the web address to mobile and that sorted it but not any more! Any suggestions please or have they removed the mobile option?

It is working right now on my android mobile

I used to be able to load the map directly from a URL but now I have to load the map via https://www.adsbexchange.com/ and scrolling down to the now 'tracking nnnn aircraft' link

I've tried this and I get the desktop layout that has the advert bar across the middle and the bit to close it down after 20 seconds is off the screen so I can't close it! It used to come up in an Android friendly version but not any more.

I should of added that I cleared cookies and data for this site on my mobile device, had to reset the military only filter again. But it is working on both android devices - phone and tablet.

They've definitely made some 'New Year' changes. I used to use https://global.adsbexchange.com/Virtual ... sktop.html , as a favourite, which (naughtily) took me directly to the map only, with no ads or 'currently tracking' side panel.
The link is still the same but unless the referer [sic] is the actual ADSB website, their server redirects you to the home page.
I would not be surprised if that was not the only change that has been made.

The list view on my phone and tablet hasn't changed these last two or three days but the map view seems to show current aircraft airborne. Strange!

Having similar mobile issues on iphone6, map page used to load direct from saved link to the map, this now directs me to the home page.
Clicking 'global radar' from the home page just re-loads the home page I'm already on, clicking 'global radar' again, loads the map but with no aircraft plotting, and map appears frozen, refreshing this just causes whole site to crash.

Looks like a 360 purchase is needed soon, unless anyone has any ideas?

There is now a mobile app available here :- https://www.adsbexchange.com/2018/01/23 ... available/
No idea how or if it works as I don't have a mobile.

This has been available for a while but only for Apple iOS not other smart phones! Doesn't help for my Samsung!

I have it running on an old Galaxy S6.

Search ADSB in Play Store.

Works fine.

I've had it running since it was released many months ago on my Galaxy S6 edge, when it first came out there was no IOS version

Which APP are you using, I've just tried a couple and they wouldn't run for some reason?

Good morning all.

Not much of an update; didn’t hear a reply back from adsb exchange, despite contacting them.

However it seems to be working fine on mobile now, although a bit flakey.

Cheers for the replies :thumb:

I can't get it to work on a PC Laptop. It opens as the map, then just continues to crash everytime it reloads

I used to be able to click the a/c, then a box would pop up with type, time tracked etc, I dont get that any more.

Any ideas how to get it back?

All I get at the moment is call sign, altitude and serial.

thanks

Mike

Click on menu, go to Aircraft, then scroll down to Aircraft Details. Click on the padlock then set details as required.

Hello,

Since yesterday I have a problem with ADSB, I do see the aerplaines, but the callsigns and the plane numbers are missing. I didn't change anything. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks, Leon
