Activating the QR Scanner causes it to freeze

I need more information.

  1. What version of Anemone3DS are you using? This is in the bottom left of the main menu.
  2. Are you using CFW or just homebrew? If CFW, which one?
  3. What does the screen look like when it freezes?

New 3DS, 11.8. This is in the beta version of anemone that was recently released. I am using Luna 9.1 CFW. When it freezes it just stayed on the Activating WE Scanner screen

Same here. I thought I was the only one. Has this been solved yet? Once I press R, it just says "Loading QR Scanner..." I have 11.8 firmware. Old 3DS. Anemone v.2.1.0-b.

Downgrade to the non-beta, this is a known bug in the beta version.

astronautlevel2 avatar Sep 22 '18 04:09 astronautlevel2

Using 11.6.0-39U Anemone v.2.1.0-b. New 3DS the screen remain freeze unless hard reset

Indeed, this is a known bug in the beta. Downgrade to the non-beta version.

how to downgrade?

Fabry200 avatar May 11 '19 09:05 Fabry200

Downgrade simply by installing the previous version in FBI.

As a side-note, please don't necropost in six-month old issue threads without anything to contribute. :)

Hi all. It worked for me by turning off WiFi, then I activated the camera to scan the QR. With the camera on, enable Wi-Fi again. So I prevented it from freezing.

As far as we know, this doesn't happen in the latest commit (and hence the next release). Closing unless someone can reproduce.

Still freezes for me on 2.1.0, Luma 10.1.3, old 3DS. Screen says "Loading QR Scanner..."

i have the same issue

xpirad avatar Jun 22 '20 13:06 xpirad

@xpirad can we get more information, such as console model (old 3ds vs new 3ds)?

@sfinam Does gmondragon's suggestion of turning off WiFi work?

astronautlevel2 avatar Jun 22 '20 13:06 astronautlevel2

hi, i'm using new 3dsxl

xpirad avatar Jun 22 '20 14:06 xpirad

@astronautlevel2 I've tried to do it but I'm not sure how. When I disable wifi it says that I need Internet to scan qr codes and won't open the scanner. If the scanner is open, I can't disable wifi anymore as the system is frozen.

sfinam avatar Jun 22 '20 15:06 sfinam

That's what I figured would happen. Would you mind giving this build a try and letting me know what happens, @sfinam? I'm expecting it to either work or give an error message, but not hang. If it does hang then I'm looking into the wrong thing.

@astronautlevel2 First time after start is stuck on "Loading QR Scanner..." for a while, but wifi led blinks and I can disable wifi. This does nothing though. If I wait around two minutes it stops blinking (just green) and not sound anything). I've tried randomly pressing buttons and camera turned on after pressing A. First time I've tried scanning a code from themeplaza it crashed prompting me to press A to save crash dump, but I wasn't quick enough - the system turned off. Second and all the following times it worked though. I still had to press buttons to get it to start, but after it starts once it can turn on instantly afterwards, and I was able to download themes without it crashing.

sfinam avatar Jun 22 '20 22:06 sfinam

Huh, you shouldn't have to press buttons for it to work. Does pressing A to work on the v2.1.0 release, or does it only work on that version I posted in the comment above?

astronautlevel2 avatar Jun 22 '20 22:06 astronautlevel2

I've downloaded 2.1.0,installed it over your build, got it to hang once and no buttons were responding, but I was able to open Rosalina menu and it got unstuck somehow. After this I can't get it to freeze - it loads for a few seconds and launches normally, even after reboot.

sfinam avatar Jun 22 '20 23:06 sfinam

Thanks, I'm not sure what else I can do to fix this, it's likely an issue with something beyond our capability on the 3DS w/r/t thread creation. I'm going to close this and put a message in the app to press A if it hangs. Thanks for your help!

I also had this issue with a newly modded new 2ds xl. If it helps, my fix was to remote install any splash (the globe with the mouse pointer that brings up "Downloading splash list, please wait...") and then the QR scanner worked in the splashes tab. I downloaded a theme the same way to see if it would work again, but the theme QR scanner did not work. In fact, the splash QR reader broke. Also if it helps, I'm running the 3dsx version.

@astronautlevel2 Could you release a new build?

xpirad avatar Jul 04 '20 07:07 xpirad

I'm not sure what build you'd want me to release, the build from the QR code in this issue is the most recent work I've done on this.

astronautlevel2 avatar Jul 06 '20 17:07 astronautlevel2

2.1.0 (Revival Edition), installed with FBI through QR code listed in release page, still freezes the app. Quite annoying.

Edit: first generation 3DS with latest CFW

Agilo3 avatar Jul 10 '20 01:07 Agilo3

QR scanning worked for me first but after a crash it always got stuck on "Loading QR Scanner...". In my case it helped to start the Nintendo 3DS-camera app and take a photo. After that in Anemone the "Loading QR Scanner..." message disappeared after a few seconds, I got the camera preview and QR codes were recognized again.

Demarah avatar Jul 14 '20 00:07 Demarah

Seems as if the latest commit may not fix this, re-opening.

astronautlevel2 avatar Jul 27 '20 13:07 astronautlevel2

@Agilo3 can you try the QR code listed above? Thanks.

astronautlevel2 avatar Jul 27 '20 13:07 astronautlevel2

sorry if this is no help, but i installed cfw on a new 2dsXL and a new 3dsXL in the same day in the same way. both 11.13, but the new 2dsXL's qr scanner works perfectly on anemone. the 3ds isn't the same story. i have 2.1.0 on both, but installed the qr version from this thread on the 3ds before typing this. the qr scanner freezes the 3ds so badly that i need to power it off if i don't spam buttons to make it stop trying to scan.

note: spamming b upon beginning scan will abort the scan, but continue the process of scanning. i got my themes by aiming the camera at the qr code and spamming b every time i scanned until it registered the code. edit: n3dsXL is jap
