...The point is that people who have f-droid installed, but haven't added the briar repo (which presumably will continue to have beta releases for testers) will 1) see briar in the list of apps and 2) be able to install it with no effort.
This depends on #783, and then requires getting a build description added to f-droid's configuration.

It would be great if it can list all Briar contacts near you (using Bluetooth) and just offer a public chat. So it would be easy to get in contact. Or to built-up a group in closed rooms without internet connection or so (class rooms).https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1033Always use Bluetooth LE2017-08-15T17:06:25ZrugkAlways use Bluetooth LEDo you use Bluetooth LE?

BTW I saw https://code.briarproject.org/akwizgran/briar/issues/303, but this is only about discovery. It would be better to always use the LE mode, if both contacts/devices support it.https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1032Do not use the mail icon for new messages2018-12-19T12:23:43ZrugkDo not use the mail icon for new messagesFor now messages, you currently use this icon:

This is bad as this is an icon for mail (apps) and is used by some popular ones, e.g. K9 mail. As Briar is not a mail app, you should not use this, otherwise users get confused, because they think they have a new mail, while they actually have a new Briar message.
Better use the icon (or a variation) of Briar itself. This makes clear that there are new Briar messages.akwizgranakwizgranhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1029Add contact with someone ID for PC & devices without camera2017-08-14T13:54:19ZRAdd contact with someone ID for PC & devices without cameraAdd contact with someone ID for PC & devices without cameraAdd contact with someone ID for PC & devices without camerahttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/1025Extreme battery drain2017-10-17T16:33:07ZHenrie SchmidtExtreme battery drainHi there!

I had an enormous battery drain the last time. Briar took about 25% of the entire power and my phone was out of energy within a few hours. My friend had the same problem with a Motorola Razr I with CyanogenMod (I think it is version 12). Because of this fact we decided to remove Briar until the Bug is fixed... :-(
I use a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini (G800F) with Lineage OS 14.1.

This is because the setting only determines whether we turn on Bluetooth. Once it's turned on for whatever reason, we always use it for connecting to contacts regardless of the setting. We should either change the behaviour or change the way the setting is described.akwizgranakwizgranhttps://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/-/issues/994No incoming message notifications for second, third, and further messages.

- when she power-on the phone, Briar autostarts and asks for the password
- for some time she appears logged in and we can send messages each other
- after some time (less than half an hour) she appears offline and she does not receive any message
- even if she starts again Briar and logs in again, after some time she's put out without any notice
I could not see any obvious mistake in her configuration.
But I'm very new to Briar, so do not take anything for granted.
Any hint on how to debug this problem is appreciated.

I just built and installed Briar after being absent for a while. I see there's a preference for using tor never, on wifi, and on cellular. That's great for some, but doesn't address my problem. I realize there is tension with UX and complicated config, but given that having a HS is very very costly power wise, and outbound tor is somewhat costly, I'd like to see a config for "Use Tor when not charging" that is "no, outbound only, outbound and inbound". This would probably let me start running briar, and I suspect would let others do so as well.Android 1.1Torsten GroteTorsten Grote
