Skytrak sync problem?

[Mickey]

Yes. Never had pause before. Now happens regularly. Also - waiting to sync constantly running.

My skylark was working fine. Then suddenly the software starts hanging up.. Big delays while the ball is in the air. Then it restarts then delays again. I have tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling. Seems like sync never syncs. The interface seems buggy.. I have to tap several times on the screen to go from app to settings. Works fine in direct mode. My internet is very fast so that can't be it. Also works fine with WGT. Problem points to sky golf server maybe???

SkyTrak delay/pauses/synch failure seems to be getting worse on my unit. Anybody else getting the same thing?

That's what i meant by the spare phone. I am using ST app on my iPhone 6 plus and setting up hotspot on my 'spare' android phone.

So it looks like ST will connect to hotspot from an Android phone but not an iPhone (I think there was an old thread about this as well).

Seth / SkyTrak_Seth, any idea why this is the case? Thanks.

I've never had to use a spare phone. I setup a hotspot on my 1 and only android handset. Both ST and IPad connect to that.

If you have a spare phone, use that to setup wifi hotspot and and use network mode via that.

I really want to take ST to the dome today. I just don't want to deal with the headache of returning home and switching back to network mode.

ForeLeft, the hotspot was from an iPhone or an Android phone? Thanks.

Just tried and it worked as long as hotspot is being made via a different phone, i.e. not the device running the skytrak app. I setup a hotspot on separate phone and then connected both skytrak and my iOS device to that network and it was able to connect just fine then.

I also tried creating the hotspot on the same device as the skytrak app and that does not work.

I guess I will carry my spare phone when I go to the range with skytrak.

[doublebogey]

I've tried that but hotspot using iPhone does not work (not sure about Android phones though?).

So basically it looks like putting SkyTrak in Direct mode causes sync issues. Can you setup a hotspot on your phone, then connect Skytrak to that wifi, so it will use network mode even when on the range? Just thinking if that will work...

Did the uninstall thing again. It synced a 3 shot session. Not the 80 shot session. It seems to have more problems handling too much data? So does Sky Golf. Does anyone else see the same issues?

Back to the range tonight for the first time in a while, but guess what, yep it won't sync the data. All 137 shots.

Have had to export to PDF again.


Same error on the log file, It can't find the Skycaddie account. It will only sync on the home network.

[Nigelfea]

Just deleted the App (nothing else done) & logged back in.
Lost everything not backed up but guess what, it's syncing again.
This can't be hard to fix Skytrak!!! Come on, pull your fingers out!!
