Background scan not working #14

Open webworxshop opened 7 years ago

webworxshop commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I'm testing this out with the PyBeacon software (https://github.com/nirmankarta/PyBeacon) on my laptop and my HTC M7 (Android version 5.0.2). I can see the beacon just fine in a manual scan, but the background scan never seems to detect it and as such my actions aren't executed.

Any ideas? Happy to collect any debug logs, etc. you need.

the background scan and an action triggering only work when the app in the background (UI is not open).

Yeah, I read that in the wiki. I already tried it with the app backgrounded and it still doesn't work.

I am having the same problem. I close the app and background scanning doesn't work. Am I missing something as I want to replace owntracks with this to detect my beacons
