Transfer not working

[utzer]

Describe the bug I can't transfer text to the badge. When I try to do so the app shows "No device found. Please try again.". Programming only works with my friends phone. The phone I tried with is a Huawei P30 Pro with Android 10. I also tried another phone of mine, a HTC U11 with Android 9, same issue there. I granted both permissions for the app.

What can I do to make it work? How can I help to make it work?

To Reproduce Take Huawei P30 Pro with Android 10, write test test and hit transfer.

Expected behavior Text gets transferred and badge show new text.

Logs Is there logs on a non rooted phone that I can provide?

Screenshots

Smartphone Info: Huawei P30 Pro Android 10, it show Build No 10.0.0.173, let me know if you need more details.

Would you like to work on the issue? unfortunately not a developer, but I am willing to test and help.

Did any other people report bugs like this? I know that both HTC and Huawei mess around with Android, but I would still love to figure out what is the problem. I think a bluetooth search finds the badge, there is a LSLED device (not sure if I remember the device name correctly, right now it just shows MAC addresses, the name include LED), but I can not pair it, it says to to this in the app.

Hi ben, can you please try this out

[adityastic]

It's completely fine. It's a ble device, so it won't allow you to pair with it

Same result.

Edit: Now a notification popped up of some "Leaks" app that contains some diagnostic information, I guess this is linked to your development apk? It contains so much information, that I am not sure if I can/want share all of this, as I can not be sure what information it actually contains.

@ben-utzer can you show me a video of the complete process when you try to send something to a badge, a recording using another device? I want to see the device and the badge, keep them adjacent and record the whole process

[iamareebjamal]

Leaks info is irrelevant to this bug. So, ignore it

fdroid allows one to downgrade to older versions, so I did this. And while 1.5.0 also doesnt work, transfer over Bluetooth nicely works in 1.40 and thus I could happily update my badge.

maybe a new release could be made?

Unfortunately, I am experiencing the issue as well. Android/EMUI 9.1.0.260 , Huawei P30.

does downgrading to 1.4.0 also work around the issue for you?

Sorry I didn't follow up, also tried the downgrade, which didn't work. Someone from fossasia at FOSDEM suggested to try the Google Play version of the app, this also didn't solve the problem. I tried 1.4 1.5 and 1.6 from F-Droid and the Google Store version, all show the same problem.

[edurrr]

I did the same steps as ben-utzer and had the same result, no dice.

[adityastic]

@ben-utzer @edurrr please check my comment on sharing the video about the whole process.

[utzer]

OK, video in crappy resolution in a ZIP. VIDEO0002.mp4.zip

[utzer]

Still not sure how the video can be of any help, it took me a while to have my second mobile there too. I granted all permissions (file access and location) to the app, but still it does not work. I can, as I explained before, load a text with another phone that is not mine. So not sure what is the problem.

@ben-utzer perfect. I just wanted to confirm. Can you install BleScanner from playstore and send me a screenshot of the information when you scan the led badge

[utzer]

install BleScanner Any tip which one, there is so many apps called BleScanner.

[adityastic]

@ben-utzer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.macdom.ble.blescanner&hl=en_IE. This would be perfect

[edurrr]

You will find the screenshots of BleScanner App attached.

[adityastic]

@edurrr can you send me the characteristics id and the service id

Same here with Android 14. If I roll it back to version 1.6.0 it shows "No GPS found". Version 1.5.0 works.
