Some Android users were reporting problems with the barcode scannner, as in that it wasn’t scanning barcodes at all. We’ve been investigating and gathering reports from users through a Facebook post that we set up and learned that the problem happened on some specific devices only.
So far it was reported for:
- Samsung Galaxy A13
- Samsung Galaxy A23
- Samsung Galaxy S23
- Samsung Galaxy S20
- Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus
- Xiaomi Redmi 10C
- OnePlus Nord N20 5G
- Motorola Moto G 5g 2024
- Motorola Moto g10
- Motorola Moto G34 5G
The problem however did not happen on any of the Android devices we have laying around the office (and we have a LOT). Now what?
- We went to a used electronics store nearby and we just purchased a Samsung Galaxy A23
- CLZ AJ was instantly able to reproduce the scanning problem on the A23. Phew, that is at least step 1 towards a fix!
- Then a tablet that we ordered happened to arrive: a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, which turned out to show the same barcode scanning problem.
- But… our Android developer CLZ Pim was working from home this week and he needed at least one problem device to be able to debug the problem.
- So CLZ Syts and CLZ Alwin drove to CLZ Pim’s house to drop off the problem phone and tablet.
- And today, first thing in the morning, CLZ Pim found and fixed the problem!
- While he was at it, he was also able to improve the speed of the scanner a bit.
- We created a version 10.0.3 update for the app, containing the fix. And that update is now live in the Play Store!
Another crisis averted! 🙂
