System Information

• Fairphone 3, Android 13
• Sideband v0.8.5

Additional context This is the same bug I mentioned a while ago in the Matrix channel briefly, I have now collected relevant logs. Am I actually configuring this correctly? Are there any dependencies I should be installing on my phone? All permissions except location are enabled in settings for the app.

Is there any way I can change the RNS log level in Sideband? I have a feeling you forgot to add the RAK4631 to the device filter here. But I can't see this line in my logcat at the moment.

Fix created. See PR https://github.com/markqvist/Sideband/pull/52

Best leave it open until it's actually merged.
