I tried this app using two Pixel phones (one is a XL). The Pixel XL had no problem detecting the beacon signals from the Pixel phone but the reverse did not work. I tried enabling one and many beacons on both phones and tried restarting and anything else I could think of. The really strange part is that at one moment the Pixel phone detected a singel beacon signal from the Pixel XL right after I tried to restart the Pixel phone.

Why does the app need ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION? Coarse/approximate location permission should be enough for BLE scanning?

Handy app. I'd love two features: c'n'p of text and logging of scans.

Testing is out, can scan other beacon. How do we transmit message / visual pic when other Bluetooth device are within the beacon app proximity? range?
