I am also using a Pixel 8 Pro, I assume Niantic stopped anything to do with Portal Scanning validation, as they started the migration to the 3.0 ADK, even the relatively simple white list update.
Fortunately I also have a Samsung device, which I can tether to my P8, and still do scanning.
Is required a GPU that supports Depth API ? Some other apps from Google related to AR are showering that my phone does not support Depth API and then full features does not works. This confirmation should be useful for update to new phone. My phone is showed as compatible with ARCore and Niantic Lightship but I don't find any reference to depth API. I remember that calibration for VPS does not works and may be related to depth API features.
Let see if I get It. Niantic update the scanning method and now half of devices are down... But the others apps keep the old method and it works for everyone... Is it impossible to have both methods on Ingress so "asian phones owners" can keep scanning with the old??
I think is crazy that the closer solution was downgrade the app :/
Don't buy a new phone. I am assuming that Niantic suspended all new authorizations until the Lightshop migration was completed. I can still overclock, however given that I was scanning a lot, which is why I have a lot of local Overclock portals, it is beyond annoying that I can no longer scan portals.
If scanning is out therefore goodbye CORE subscription. There are not any bug in reclaiming my money during 36 months. Please subscribers with scanner function not working don't pay any more subscription. Really Niantic shall paid us by every scan, they are selling our voluntary work as players
I believed Niantic is doing nothing because Google is making changes to AR /VR technology . If you are paid subscriber, please don't pay anymore, just wait the adjustment to technology, sure some time the phones will run in GeForce RTK 4090 and can use Niantic Technology.
Yes, Niantic in community forums wrote that pixel phones are not excluded from scanning process anymore. The post confirm this is not a bug, is a Niantic action.
Yes, now finally available for my P8 Pro, after 4 long months.
However the Overclocking capability is still almost useless, as the Glyph lines are still very faint, almost indistinguishable from the Tesseract frames.
The pixel phones are mid range and can do scans. This is not a bug, is a action from Niantic. Please if you have a subscription and can not scan, please drop off the subscription.

Pixel 8 Pro should be supported.
Mali-G715 is the GPU name of its Tensor SoC and seems to be comparable to the Adreno 740

Lightship is it's own AR core, it is now V3.1
Ingress uses Lightship 2.5
The lightship dev talks, entails what the capability of Lightship AR on lower tier devices.
It will take a lot of work if the Ingress dev team to update their Lightship platform, and a lot can go wrong.
However it will fix a number of issues players encounter. Lag for example
Oh my God, obsolete news... Any phone?

Of course, no scan button.

Almost any mobile, but for the most part, not having a flagship mobile and still doing scans and Overclock.
Only on the latest version of the ARDK
I have 3 related issues on Pixel 8 Pro
I got a new Pixel 8 for Christmas and I'm having all these problems too.
The faint lines has been an issue on what I want to assume all devices
Not all devices, but no apparent reason as to why some have the problem with thin lines and why some always see the thick lines.
The thin lines are do to the ongoing lag problems

And still cannot scan on a Pixel 8 Pro.

Looks like the latest version updated whitelisted some devices. I have the portal scan option now on the Pixel 8 Pro with 2.134.1
Let's see if it can be confirmed with other agents: @Alcarnor @THFI0NUT @ph4mien

It's been half a year and there's been no announcement.
If it doesn't get fixed within this month, I'll stop subscribing.
Maybe this is how it will be from now on
