Unsuccessful connect via BT
| Step | Pixel2 | Nokia3.1 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Existing contact – added by 'nearby method' ('Andy') | ditto ('Belle') |
| 2 | No messages from this contact yet | No messages from this contact yet |
| 3 | No other contacts yet | No other contacts yet |
| 4 | Initial Briar settings | Initial Briar settings |
| 5 | BT ON | BT ON |
| 6 | Wifi OFF | Wifi OFF |
| 7 | Internet OFF | Internet OFF |
| 8 | Switch BT OFF | keep BT ON |
| 9 | Contacts see each other as offline | Contacts see each other as offline |
| 10 | go to 'Belle' > menu > select 'Connect via BT' | go to 'Andy' > menu > select 'Connect via BT' |
| 11 | Msg:Your contact needs to be nearby...“Start” at the same time | ditto |
| 12 | Press Start | Press Start |
| 13 | Msg:Briar debug ...for 120 seconds | Msg:Briar debug ...for 120 seconds |
| 14 | Allow | Allow |
| 15 | Brief msg 'Connecting via Bluetooth' | Brief msg 'Connecting via Bluetooth' |
| 16 | Brief msg 'Successfully connected via BT' | Brief msg 'Successfully connected via BT' |
| 17 | Contacts see each other as online | Contacts see each other as online |
| 18 | Contacts can send each other messages | Contacts can send each other messages |
| 19 | Repeat steps 4-18 | Repeat steps 4-18 |
| 20 | Repeat steps 4-18 | Repeat steps 4-18 |
| 21 | Repeat steps 4-18 | Repeat steps 4-18 |
Repeating these steps a few times in a row - connecting via BT works OK. But then, I delete contact on one phone, and re-add it via nearby method and things begin to look different. I performed the following steps:
| Step | Pixel2 | Nokia3.1 |
|---|---|---|
| 22 | Delete contact 'Belle' | Keep contact 'Andy' |
| 23 | Re-add contact Belle, using nearby method | re-add contact Andy using nearby method |
| 24 | Contacts is added | Contact is not added as it already exists = OK |
| 25 | Contacts see each other as offline | Contacts see each other as offline |
Is this correct behaviour? That contacts should see each other as offline when re-added successfully via nearby method?
| Step | Pixel2 | Nokia3.1 |
|---|---|---|
| 26 | This process turns the wifi and BT to ON (in Briar app) | ditto |
| 27 | BT = ON, WiFi= ON in Briar app | BT = ON, WiFi= ON in Briar app |
| 28 | Repeat steps 10-15 | Repeat steps 10-15 |
Expeced result: BT connection should be established, contacts shoudl see each other online and be able to send each other messages.
Actual result: Message: successfully connected via BT on both devices, However, **the contacts see each other as offline, and cannot send messages ** If I try to send a message from one to the other (Nokia to Pixel) message is not delivered to Pixel.
Trying to Reconnect again via BT, as in steps 10-14, there is a brief message at the bottom of the Pixel2 screen 'connecting via BT', and then 'unable to connect via BT', but no equivalent messages at all on Nokia screen - they just don't show.
Contacts still see each other offline and cannot send each other messages.
