Is the issue of nearby notifications resolved? #855

Closed kanodia closed 7 years ago

kanodia commented 7 years ago

Hello

Some time back nearby notifications were muted due to a bug.

I believe recently a new version of google play services version 10.0.4 has been released. Plus, the nearby notification is temporarily muted message is no more there on the landing page.

Is the issue resolved?

Also, I tried sending two nearby notification messages using a single beacon? What I can see is only one notification inside Google settings>Nearby?

What I know is, we can upload any number of notification in a single UUID? Is this an issue or a recent developments made to this?

Thanks Regards

The description is indeed a useful bit of information. Given there was so little room in the Notification, we initially showed only the Title/Description. The security team felt it was important to show the Title/URL as it gave more information to the user w/r/t the validity of the site.

However, when Nearby made that change, they also removed the description from the listview. That was not intended and will be fixed in the next release of Google Play Services (approximately end of January)

Hi Scott,

Are there any plans to add a Scan for Nearby Beacons on demand with an icon tap from the home screen?

Happy Thanksgiving!

With Android M and N you can already do this. When you first accept, there is a prompt to add to home screen. If you didn't do that, you can go to Nearby (usually through the quick settings icon) and in the menu is an 'add to home screen' option.

We understand that most casual users won't do this but it's there for people what want to use it regularly and not rely on the notifications.
