„Nearby Glasses“ – IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

Smart Glasses are often hard to spot. This app scans for their Bluetooth ID.

Just saw this on F-Droid (well actually on IzzySoft) and thought I’d pass it along. Haven’t tried it, please don’t kill the messenger, just sharing…

    The OS is probably optimizing it away, there might be a setting under battery management or app deep sleep that stops the OS from killing it, but it’s gonna use a bunch more battery, too. I think this is a simple enough thing that a little esp could do it instead of a whole phone app

      I tweaked several settings in the OS.

      Under Mobile Data for the app I allowed “background data” and “unrestricted mobile data usage”

      And under battery “unrestricted” and “allow background usage”.

      After all that I can’t keep the app running. 🤷
