No beacons sent on Asus Nexus 7 (2013) / Android 6.0.1

See original GitHub issue

I was curious about the data that is sent over the air, so I extended my test-app for receiving ble-data in order to be able to se the beacons sent by this app. With the app I can see beacons sent out by some device (currently only one of my neighbors has the app installed) I then installed the app to my old tablet (Asus Nexux 7 (2013), Android 6.0.1). Installation succeeded without any errors.

Expected behaviour

But I can not see any beacons sent by this device.

I then hooked the tablet to my development machine to have a look at the logs and fond the following:

Not sure if it helps …

Technical details

  • Mobile device: Asus Nexus 7 (2013)
  • Android version: 6.0.1

(Installing on a Pixel3a also succeeded without errors and there I can see the generated beacons.)

In the case that the device does not support required modes, it should generate an error-message, preferably by Google, but if they don’t do it, it could be done through the app.

@cschweers: Well, I might behave differently if I think that I informed all my contacts about my infection when the device was not capable of doing so. I disagree with the “social” argument. The fact that the app does not all the things that it promises to do IMHO must not be hidden to the user - 100% transparency. Although this affects only a very small portion of the user base (infected users that use those old devices) - sending useless data to the server does not make sense to me. So the corresponding option to send infection informatio has to be disabled in that cases.
