I’m using the phonegap plugin (0.7.1) to develop for Android. Even if it somewhat works, I get big variations which makes the whole thing pretty useless. For instance, if I just leave my tablet where it is, it goes from ranging 0 beacons to 1 or 2 back to 0 etc. with distances greatly affected and doesn’t really makes sens. Even with the Estimote app, the distance demo ins’t reliable at all. Long story short, it’s all over the place.
So what can I do to enhance that? All my beacons are -8db and 500ms. Should I change some of the settings? Is it a phonegap plugin issue? Is it a hardware issue? I placed the beacons here around my apt which isn’t that big and I get more of “no ranging” than proper ranging and distancing. Even if I’m close to one, it would be ranged on and off. Please advise…
Update: It seems like the blue tooth of the Nexus 7 2013 is not that good. Works a lot better on Nexus 5!!
Now I don’t get drops anymore but the strength varies a lot. Is there any recommended setting for the beacons to get a more stable distance/strength feedback?
