[Ovmsdev] Locations and scripts

[Stephen Casner]

Mark,

The false alarm occured again a few minutes ago.  I wanted to use the
web shell UI to check some status, but using the new messages feature
of the iPhone app I found the wifi was wedged again.  After I turned
wifi off and then back to client mode I would log in from the web
again.  I issued a location status command that indicated good lock.

What should I look for when this false alarm occurs?  Is it likely
that the alarm is issued when stable GPS operation is restored, so
what I really would need to see is a log of conditions before the
alarm?

And now that I have issued some messages in the app, how do I switch
back to other functions?  Is there a way to make the keyboard drop and
then find the buttons at the bottom of the screen?  (I realize that
restarting the app would be a solution.)

                                                        -- Steve
