Hi there, I wonder if anyone has a suggestions.
I am trying to connect a Reach RS2+ to a Galaxy S8 Tablet (Android 16). My Reach has been paired and I have connected it through WiFi with a Bluetooth streaming NMEA. When I go to Positioning Device and try to add it I can’t. I tap the “Scan devices” button and Android asks me to allow devices to connect to BT (I do), but nothing happens when I tap “scan“ so I can never see a list of devices. I have re-installed QField several times, is this a bug in the latest version? Any ideas how to make it to QField can scan bluetooth devices to add?
For reference: I have the exact same setup in a different tablet with an older QField version. I can scan this and any other device no problem there.
Please help!
@rsolinis , greetings – is it possible for you to try with older versions of QField (Releases · opengisch/QField · GitHub) to identify the regression window?
Thank you Mathieu, that helped!
I went back to 3.7.0 (although I didn’t test all of them). In my case there was a weird combination between 3.7.9 and Android 15 that overwrites the notifications for location services permission for QField even though a pop-up comes up asking to allow. Qfield scan button was locked or non-responsive. Everything good in QField 3.7.0. and Android 15, although I still needed to manually go to QField permissions in properties to trigger it
Thanks!
@rsolinis , it would be very useful if you could go up from 3.7.0 to 3.7.1, then 3.7.2, etc until you hit the version that regressed for you. It’s actually a nice coincidence the regression didn’t hit on a .0 release, that’d have be much harder to dissect.
