#6014 @goedzo

davidakachaos commented on Apr 13
Are there any strange characters in the password?

[goedzo]

No there are not. Also restarting the bot actually works, so I think it is a different kind of issue. Maybe a new way from niantic to detect bots?

[walaoaaa1234]

@goedzo sorry, didn't read the log, the error come from the Analytics in bot, if you get this error quite often, you may turn it off.
https://github.com/PokemonGoF/PokemonGo-Bot/tree/dev#analytics

If you do not want any data to be gathered, you can turn off this feature by setting health_record to false in your config.json.

[goedzo]

I don't get this very often, and I think it is good to keep it on so that we can keep botting hapily ;). So this here is just so that it can be fixed in the next update.

Seems to me that increasing the ordinal to hold 0x9c (=156), would solve it.

"0x9c in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)"

hashing sevice now is giving a lot of issues this weekend

[fatalerrortan]

@Jcolomar @goedzo I got a whole day of "Server Busy or offline" with debug "Api error" But I can still login using my phone.

[davidakachaos]

Something seems to be wrong with the pokehash service:

[2017-07-03 10:58:22] [INFO] Starting new HTTPS connection (1): pokehash.buddyauth.com
[2017-07-03 10:58:22] [ERROR] Error logging in! ('Connection aborted.', error(54, 'Connection reset by peer'))

[walaoaaa1234]

hash server still having issue, there is no ETA when it will fixed.
