External GPS Re-testing:

Application:
Device/OS: 🤖 Samsung Galaxy A53 / Android 15
App: Mergin Maps: 2026.3.0 - 822451

Summary:

🟢 1. Inconsistent receiver identity between GPS receiver list and GPS info panel - test passed
🟢 2. Mismatch between acceptance criteria and displayed device name - test passed
🔴 3. Frozen GPS data after offline mode and return back to online mode - No error notification on connection loss - the issue still persists
🟠 4 and 5. Connection flow and misleading green circle - enhancement created ---> #4536
🟢 6. Duplicate "External receivers" sections displayed on screen - test passed
🟢 7. Misleading error message and missing error icon on failed network connection - test passed

NOTE for @Withalion : external GPS for iOS hasn't been tested yet. I will continue working on it and complete the testing in a future update.

Regarding point 3 I'm aware there is no notification, but the app should say the connection was lost after some time and it should reconnect when the device gets online. Does this happen?

Hi @Withalion

🔴 3. Frozen GPS data after offline mode and return back to online mode - No error notification on connection loss - the issue still persists. Please, see description of application's behaviour during Offline (Airplane mode) and return back to Online

Behaviour During Offline Mode
When the device loses internet connectivity, the application does not correctly reflect the loss of connection to the external GPS receiver. The following behaviour was observed:

• The external GPS receiver status remains displayed as "Connected" — no connection loss is indicated to the user
• The GPS info panel displays frozen data from the last known position — no live updates are shown
• No error or warning message is shown to inform the user that the data connection has been lost

Behaviour After Returning to Online Mode
When the device regains internet connectivity, the application does not automatically restore the GPS receiver connection.

• GPS data remains frozen — the connection to the external receiver is not automatically re-established
• No notification or prompt is displayed to inform the user that reconnection is required

The only way to restore the connection is to manually switch to a different GPS receiver and switch back to the original one — there is no automatic recovery or reconnect button available

thanks @IvaKuklica I'll give it another try when I get access to the actual external GNSS device

External GPS Re-testing

Application:
Device/OS: 🍎 IPhone 15 / iOS 26.5
App: Mergin Maps: 2026.3.0 - 916611

Issues:

1. Incorrect keyboard type displayed for IP address input field - When adding a new network receiver, the IP address input field displays an alphabetical keyboard instead of a numeric keyboard. Since IP addresses consist of numbers and dots only, the correct keyboard type for this field should be numeric.

Enhancement - UX/UI

1. No pop-up warning displayed when connection to external receiver fails - When a connection to an external network receiver fails, the app does not display any pop-up warning or error notification to the user.
