Activating Overclock completely broken??
Is it just me, or since this Overclock challenge started, has the Wayfarer app to activate Overclock, been COMPLETELY broken? Since Friday, I’ve done enough scanning at over 100 portals to activate or re-activate VPS. Either it then stays in ‘Activating’ mode, or the button to activate it does not work.
Any one know of a back-up way to activate Overclock?

same problem here. I’ve pushed the activate button on probably 40 and only had three come through in the past 4 or so days. Classic Niantic…
this just shows the issues why its not doing it automatic once enough scans
Looks like Niantic keeps refusing on learning about the Seer chaos.
Some activations are also failing here without any proper information on how to solve the issue. We did however got like 20-30 new overlock portals this morning, but those weren't activated manually.
I think this a wrong place if you reporting a problems about scanning activated. try to ask here https://community.lightship.dev/
Ah yes, ask in a developer community about an Ingress feature that's part of ongoing challenge. Makes sense.
tbf, the original post was asking about the Wayfarer app and activating Wayspots for VPS which isn't part of the Ingress team but of the Lightship team linked above
but I mean...for the Ingress event it requires action with Lightship
which I knew this cf would happen
I've had notification that one portal I have activated 2 days ago is now activated and in "production".
And just now 2 portals have become active after activating them 1 hour ago. The quality is still N/A though.
similar. Most of the ones I tried all got denied despite having 40+ scans on most of them. Just gonna try to get my work portals activated then I quit. Not worth using that wonky app to try to activate stuff.
Except, since this is an Ingress event, it would of been hella nice to have someone from Ingress or even, oh my gosh, Niantic tell us how to do it. Simple things go a long way. But this company still acts like they are brand new and in BETA.
It would have been even nicer to have a way to do it all within the scanner itself and not via sideloading an APK or creating a completely seperate account, but what do I know
How else are you going to submit junk scans and poison the VPS of your enemy? Oh wait....
Just realized once you hit overclock, you're committed to the scan. Had my 7 day scan ready to go, modded out a portal, went to scan and couldn't get a calibration (later found out the mesh shows the sidewalk is what should be scanned, not the park sign, d'oh). I tried the sign from every angle and finally hit the exit icon. Boom, three whole L6 resonators for my day 7 hack, yippie
I did that last week for mine. I got the calibration but I only got glyphs 1 and 2 right and glyph 3 I couldnt figure out (thin light lines) I got 2 L4 resos and 2 L4 xmps (it was a L4 portal). What an effing waste.
Yeah, I've already been in that situation. It's always the first hack that seems to be the calibration issue and you're forced to either try with no calibration or use a regular hack.
I think (and this might be mentioned in that guide floating around) if you ki|| the app without hacking, it will get you out that way. I tried that twice yesterday and it seemed to work fine. Wish I had realized that on the 7 day hack streak, but, such is life, lol
And now the activate button is broken!
