Safesky dropping connection to SkyDemon every 1-5 minutes

English

Hi,
ever since the last updates or so I have issues with the integration of SafeSky in SkyDemon. I lose the SafeSky data every few minutes, when running as a GDL90 app on a Lenovo M11.

I have tried all usual suspects of battery management, and it seems only to have gotten worse.

I can “wake” Safesky by switching to it, but it is highly distracting

Any ideas?

Hello,

When you stop receiving traffic on SkyDemon, does returning to SafeSky and back again to SkyDemon recovers normally for a period?

Is it only traffic that disappears, or are you getting this “Waiting for Device” message?

Also, can you reproduce this behaviour on the ground?

Thanks in advance,

Tristan

Hi Tristan,
In the air I keep losing the traffic
On the ground it also lost the GDL connection outright

In both cases switching to Safesky returns things to normal.

Hello @MedicWarrior27

SafeSky 3.0.31 is now available with the fix for the issue you have reported.

I hope you will confirm it’s back to normal now.

Thanks for your help on this one :slight_smile:

Fly Safe,

Tristan

Hi,

I’m using the Safesky - Skydemon integration since it became available and it worked perfectly until a few weeks ago.

Apple iPad mini 6 cellular - GDL90 - Safesky running in the background

Two times during flight, Skydemon gave the notification “Waiting for device” and does not recover. When switching to Safesky, the app seems to have crashed, and disappears or restarts (I cannot quite remember). The only difference in my setup seems to be the upgrade to iOS26 (and perhaps app upgrades, but those are more difficult to keep track of). Any ideas/suggestions?

Hello,

If SafeSky crashed, that would likely explain why SkyDemon stopped receiving traffic. Could you please check that “Send anonymous data” is enabled in SafeSky under Menu → Legal? That will allow us to access the relevant log files and understand why the app crashed.

Thanks in advance, and fly safe :slight_smile:

Hi Tristan,

This setting is currently enabled.

The last time the issue occurred was on January 24, at 18:21. My flight data ends after a touch & go at EDLN (not a full stop landing) in night VFR conditions.

kind regards,

David
