Qfield wont connect to Arrow GPS

I’m trying to connect my arrow GPS to QField, had no problems with it until this morning. When I try to scan for devices to connect to in the Qfield settings it comes up with a message saying “Scanning failed: Classic Discovery cannot be started” anyone have any ideas why it is doing this?

This is a known issue with devices running Android >= 12. Fixed in QField 2.5.3.

Ah right this may explain it my phone is running version 2.5.2 of Qfield tho I haven’t had this issue before. Any ideas how I can update to version 2.5.3? Only seems to be version 2.5.2 in the playstore and no options to update

Finwhit , you can manually update using the APKs here:

Otherwise wait 48 hours for play store to catch up :slight_smile:
