I tried again yesterday.

When on my Petrel I get ERROR SENDING PACKET the Subsurface mobile UI
remains waiting in download mode endlessly no matter which button I
press.

I tried again and, as Dirk suggested, after few dives were downloaded
I tried canceling the download from Subsurface mobile UI and it works.
It shows me the successfully downloaded dives and I can save them.
WOW!!!

I made another test:

- During the download I cancel it.
- Petrel immediately exit the download mode.
- Subsurface shows me successfully downloaded dives.
- Now I have the option to accept /refuse them but I have the option
to resume/try again the download too.
- I try again to download but the Petrel is not in download mode anymore.
- Subsurface tells me that cannot find the Petrel.
- I quit the download procedure.
- Subsurface crash.

I inspected the log file but I found no trace of the crash or error. I
forgot to save the file, sorry. I was very tired and I will try again
soon.

I'll write a separate email on a small quirkiness I found on the
mobile UI strings.

Bye
