After 2 months now i have my Asus Zenfone 8 back with e/OS installed on it, and also upgraded tot eOS 1.10!
But…
It wouldn´t be eOS or it looks that i have a new issue.
Wich banking app i use, the QR scanning is not working at my phone.
My other phone the gigaset GS290 didn´t have this problem.
If I hold my phone in front of the QR code, it also becomes very blurry on my phone.
This has nothing to do with my QR scanner app but it really only happens in my banking apps when I want to pay with IDEAL
The ASN Bank App (The Netherlands) and Digid App on my Fairphone 4 cannot scan QR-codes on e/OS 1.10. The standalone QR-scanner app does work. After recent update to e/OS 1.11 they both still do not work.
I have updated my Zenfone 8 to 1.11 but i have still this issue.
The stand-alone QR scanner does work, but when i make a payment with ideal, it will not scan the QR-code. The strange thing is that i can login with scanning the QR code on ABN-Amro, but on the payment it will not work.
But on the Triodos app everything is working as well. (activated the app manually by Identifier)
I still cannot use the QR code with IDEAL on the KNAB Banking app and maybe also for the ABN Amro App. On this moment i must send a payment to my other bank account Triodos and their i can scan the QR-code.
Since updating to 1.17 on my Motorola edge 30, the QR code scanning in the digid app is working without a problem for me. It wasn´t doing anything in 1.16.
Anyone else noticing this behaviour?
Further, QR code scanning in the ASN banking app (consumer editon) works fine, althoug I didn´t test it for a while. But it was not functioning some /e/ versions ago.
For the record, I’ve encountered this problem with two apps on my Fairphone 5 running /e/os:
A banking security app called HID Approve (only needed to set up, and alternative to QR code scanning supplied. Probably on the original 1.15 the phone was shipped with.)
Sainsburys supermarket (UK) self-scan app (continues to not work, on current 1.17). Actually managed one or two product barcode scans on at least one occasion, but I couldn’t work out what made it work; and the QR code at the checkout definitely does not work.
I guess from looking around the forum that this is something to do with the API choices in the app. I use another supermarket self-scan app (Waitrose) and that works extremely well (very fast).
It was very much sought after, quite the belated end of year present by microG/marvin, maybe /e/ funding.
Mind, the linked commit in the thread implements the qrcode/barcode scanning of both mlkit and older vision api, not face recognition that some banking apps (Tridos itself?) require.
It’s great that they’re trying to solve this problem. However, can someone answer my next question: There are more apps than just banking apps that have this problem. Is this going to solve those problems with the other apps as well?
I just got my brand new FP5 and installed /e/os 1.18 on it and the non-functioning of the QR code scanner in the various apps is terribly annoying!
Well, tried qr code scanning today with my Triodos banking app, and indeed: it works! It doesn´t solve the setup problem however, since the app requires face recognition functionality. But when you setup the app with the identifier, you can use it.
Would be great if they are finally fix this, i also have this issue since 1.17 with my FP5
The QR reader in my banking app (Tomorrow) still does not work same is true for the tile in the shortcuts
On the UK version, the face scanning - which was failing in earlier versions - now works, and I have successfully managed to install and use the Triodos UK bank app
