Tagger App does not work
-
I've read about issues on the Pinephone and the Xperia X, but not on the OPO so far.
-
I can confirm that this is an already known bug - Tagger will not work on OnePlus One, because the auto focus for the camera needed for Tagger to capture an image is broken in the Ubuntu Touch builds for the OnePlus One. Tagger works fine on my Meizu Pro 5 though.
Apparently these has been some work using Halium 7.1 in order to create an image where camera zoom, flash and autofocus work for the OnePlus One, but unfortunately it apparently does not have other critical parts working yet. Hopefully this will get fixed in the future.
Best regards,

@totalsonic Thanks very much for this info. I ask myself if this bug surely will be fixed sooner or later. We are talking about a 6-7 years old phone. Much newer and more powerful devices are already in the pipeline and need some care too.
For me this bug is the main reason why my OPO stays at home most of the time while I am out with my AOSP phone.

Same for many users on 3(T) who have not/don't want to use GS

If you try to scan a QR code in Authenticator NG does it focus and scan the code at all (invalid code should pop an error dialog I think)?
-
@dobey I was also going to suggest Authenticator NG. It works for what it has to do.
-
@dobey Thanks very much. Can you explain what this app does and why it requires an account? Or do you have a link with the description? I am a simple user, not as deep in UT (or Linux in general) as many other people here.

@odo Authenticator NG is a 2FA soft token app for TOTP/HOTP authentication tokens. As one way to add 2FA tokens to the app is to scan a QR code, I was just curious if it works well on the Oneplus 1 or if it has similar issue to Tagger here.
Given the other reply, I presume it is working well, and so the core issue of Tagger is more the QR backend used, as I believe this was also a complaint with older versions of Authenticator NG, before I switched it over to using qzxing.
-
@dobey Ok, the scanning should start after typing the camera button? No reaction. The same as with Tagger.
-
@odo Yep, OK. I wonder why it semes to be working for others though. No oil on your camera lens, right?
-
@dobey No oil or something else
But when it's an autofocus problem of the camera, as others say, it's not the app. -
As a workaround, can you take a picture with the camera, then upload it to a website that decodes QR codes, and copy the result from there? That is how I justy linked Axolotl on an OpO with the version of Signal running on my laptop.
-
@moem Perhaps a way to go. For me in the moment it makes more sense taking an AOSP phone.
-
I cannot get Tagger to scan any code (be it a barcode or a QR code) on the BQ M10 tablet. On other devices (like the Redmi Note 7 Pro) it works just fine. The camera lens is clean, autofocus seems to be working, yet it's not scanning. Insufficient CPU power, maybe?

@mardy This thread is really for the OPO issue which is already known about. I would check for any known issues with Tagger and your device and if there are none open a new thread under your device sub forum. Thanks
