Well nothing strange since the older phone u have has a better gpu that is supported. How old a phone is doesnt matter since it goes after what gpu/chip combo sits there.
Hi, I have a iPhone 7 that running on iOS15.8 and I'm also unable to perform portal scan. There's no "scan portal" option from settings and option is not available even through the overclock button. This is very unfortunate incident as there is an ongoing event related to this feature.
I believed is a problem with compass, a lot of phone does not have a compass. Previous phone had the problem but I changed a other phone without compass and works good with scan portals including Lightship but with the update the scan function was missing. When I do an Overclock l, the game request a calibration and never got a good calibration because does not got orientation with compass because there is not sensor for this.
Interesting, before I I only cared about a compass, then about the GPU and now it turns out that I have to look for a cell phone whose cameras accelerometer and gyroscope are read by Prime. Actually, Niantic is requesting a loft from scanner, but it shouldn't be that way. Niantic should give the Onix in Scout to those who have more than 3000 or 4000 scans while convincing the cell phone industry that their technology for AR is the one that will dominate the market and all phones shall be manufactured in accordance to Niantic hardware requirements.
Yes , scanner does not read data from this cheap sensors, this is the problem. The other problem is the time to fix the problem and there is not any apologize to customers. Yes, Who paid a subscription is a customer. My original post was asking about if is necessary purchase of a more advanced phone and there is not answer from Niantic. Can you get an answer from Niantic? Really I want get an answer from Niantic, if they fix the problem or not is not my business.
Hola, hasta hace 2 meses mi Redmi Note 11S podía hacer escaneos, y ahora da la opción. Ya revise y mi equipo cumple con.los requisitos de ARCore y también esta instalado.
If it's like Prime in the beginning, Niantic has to go in the actual code and state what each specific device is capable of doing. They still have to whitelist the device manually. It literally comes down to that. I bet modifying the Build.prop file gives compatability.
Example: This update states devices that should be treated as high performance
Yes, I agree, but what phone? (My phone has 64 sensors, GPU compatible, etc and does not work with scans and calibration in Overclock) but the new question is : Next update of ingress, a new phone? I did 4500 scans, last scans were using Lightship. Please note there are several post from other players about this point in community forums and without answer from Nia.

Do note that your phone only has Mali-G68 and ingress needs atleast G72 gpu so looks like you need a newer phone if u want scanning
MALI-G72, Exynos 9810, Kirin 970
Moto g84
SM6375
Same problem, Button for scan missing
Device:Realme GT Explorer Master
Android:13
Ingress:2.130.1-4135930
no scan button
No scanning on Samsung a54 5g from this year , GPU :Mali-G68
But works on Samsung a50 from 2019. GPU:MALI-G72
According to https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/3-ingress/faq/519-supported-devices/
Kinda ridiculous niantic. Need to use the old phone, three generations back, for ingress aperantly.

Hey NIA Ops!!
unfortunately i'm facing the same problem with the missing Scan Button, my phone is a:
OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G
a couple of months ago the function worked pretty well and i noticed the bug firstly in early September.
Would be pretty awesome if you please could relase a fix as soon™️ as somehow possible.
Thanks in advance and have a great Christmas time!! -twentyfree I23I
I referenced this bug ticket in Brian's latest ingress post regarding the Chronos Challenge.
It is not a trivial fix, but an extensive migration upgrade from ARDK 2/2.5 to ARDK 3.
The team are aware the need to update their ARDK version, only after this version change should this Overclock challenge have been released.
I am truly sorry for everyone who does not have a compatible device for this event.
thx @Grogyan !! if the Chronos Challenge could be delayed somehow till migration is done then that would be an awesome thing...

Actually, nobody asked for the challenge event to be Overclock, especially when so few devices are capable.
What was requested was a bunch of Agent Ops tasks
An Overclock challenge could have been easily come later after, Ingress has migrated to ARDK 3
Yeah i dont know what they were thinking, seems agent ops is not coming anytime soon not even q1 2024 grogyan
Maybe can help u
Same with Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite (ArrowOS, GPlay services for ARCore installed & supported)
too weak gpu/chipset sadly tapafon
Just bought a new phone because I'm missing the button.
My new phone is Infinix GT 10 Pro, which has Mali G-77.
But surprisingly, I still didn't have the button. I can download the lightship AR but no portal scan button.
This device supposedly only to play ingress
:(
Same problem with Moto edge 30 with Android 13.
I can scan with whayfarer perfectly fine. But not with ingress prime.

Sensor fusion between camera, accelerometer and gyro are all that is needed under ARDK 2.5 for scanning and Overclock
This requirement is not necessary under ARDK 3, which supports a wider range of low to medium range devices.
The magnetometer is not required

Buenas noches, no puedo activar el escaneo a portal en mi celular... Por favor instrucciones para solucionarlo. Gracias, adjunto imágenes:
Considering the fact that the cost of adding a gryo and magentometer to a device alongside the accelerometer, is less than $2
It doesn't appear to be worth the cost savings for budget and mid range devices not to have these sensors
I know, but I was able to scan before that update. And I still can scan through Niantic Wayfarer app.

ARDK 3 uses almost entirely in camera AR not relying on other sensors.
I've told Brian to migrate ingress to ARDK 3
There is definitely a disconnect between what the Lightship dev states and what Brian believes
If it's like Prime in the beginning, Niantic has to go in the actual code and state what each specific device is capable of doing. They still have to whitelist the device manually. It literally comes down to that. I bet modifying the Build.prop file gives compatability.

until niantic updates to newer ARDK there is not much do sadly unless u get other phone
Yes, I agree, but what phone? (My phone has 64 sensors, GPU compatible, etc and does not work with scans and calibration in Overclock) but the new question is : Next update of ingress, a new phone? I did 4500 scans, last scans were using Lightship. Please note there are several post from other players about this point in community forums and without answer from Nia.
Please add the GPU of latest snapdragon 8 Gen 3 to your whitelist. My phone is OnePlus 12.
