I have been using version 1.8.2.5719 since its release and I have noticed a very disturbing trend. Whenever I re-open a job file say the following day and connect to my receiver, I get a message stating that the file has been corrupted and I’m unable to move ahead. Fortunately, on the occasions this happened, the coordinate files had been exported, so I have been able to re-create the job once I re-shoot a few previous points and translate my current location to fit.
I have also observed that Microsurvey has stopped sending me email notifications of updates.
So I’m just now learning that release 5720 is available…
I have not had that happen. I backup my jobs every time I use them so hopefully it would be as easy as a restore. I didn’t receive a notification on 5720 either. There should be another release next week so we’ll see how that goes.
Wonder if corruption is occurring at your storage location on the device itself or on a microsd card etc? Try a different storage location or storage card?
I know microsd cards can become corrupt quite easily.
You might want to put your tablet/device, memory card specs.

Well…
My android device does this funky thing where the external (memory card) + internal memories merge so there is no differentiation between the 2 so this might be where the corruption issue is introduced.

Yeah… that is funky… typically they are kept seperate.
I’d contact MicroSurvey about it to see what they say.
Good luck.

This is an example of my screen-grab when I re-open a previously saved job and attempt to use it with the receivers.
This happens within 2-20 minutes into the session.
This is a profile of my device memory.
Notice there is no distinction between installed microSD card and internal memory
I’ve experienced a similar issue, it occurs if I Scale a job in Field Genius and attempt to reopen.

This is becoming more & more inconvenient. The app slows down then crashes unpredictably.
Occasionally the file becomes corrupted then cannot be reopened.
The work-around is to export points, dxf and other files routinely. But this is very time-consuming & inconvenient.
Folks at micro survey need to look into this. I doubt this is unique to Emlid users.

Even with latest update?
Personally as cheap Android devices are, and can probably find one in the couch cushions… I’d try on a different device to rule the device out. But then again, it may very well be the app… which really is unfortunate. At least there seems to be many different “survey” type “apps” these days. They are all different and quirky… Chinese apps, etc. SurvPad, SurvX, Landstar7, Tersus Nuwa, Mobile Topographer, Mapit GiS, tcpGPS, Survey Wizard, Survey Master, SuperSurv, X-PAD, etc etc etc etc etc etc. I like the older style FG for Windows. I just wish these Android or Windows apps were more like Trimble and Leica software.
I think MicroSurvey got rid of their community forum over there? Nobody was using it anyways.
