Beacon ranging consistently times out for older Android phone

[victorcassone2]

Summary

I was testing out the new beacon functionality on a Google Pixel XL and I was unable to range any beacons that were nearby. It looks like the ranging timeout is set to 5 seconds and on the Pixel XL it consistently goes over 5 seconds. I used a stopwatch and another BLE ranging app(kontakt.io's app) and it took about 7.5 seconds.

I then tested on a Pixel 4 XL and the ranging consistently came back as successful.

Either setting a higher ranging time or having the ability to increase the time myself via the SDK would help alleviate the problem.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a Button that calls trackOnce with beacons = true
2. Trigger button and observe no beacons are returned on the RadarUser.

OS version

Android 10

@victorcassone2 Thanks, that's great feedback. Yes, we'll look into making these timeouts customizable in a future release.
