Hi all,
I just switched from a Motorola Droid Turbo to a Nexus 5x.
On my droid turbo the barcode scanner worked perfectly, biut on my new Nexus 5x, while I can see the barcode on the screen, and it is inside the box, the text just says "still looking" forever. See screenshot below.
Is this a known problem on the Nexus 5x, or is this a different problem? Does anyone with a Nexus 5X have it working properly?
Thanks,
Matt

It's great to see you around @mattlach. Nexus 5X is not a compatible phone and that's why you are having this inconvenience. I recommend syncing your tracker with a computer or you can check our list of Compatible Devices and sync your tracker with one of those.
Keep the stepping up!

Hi @AlejandraFitbit - do you know if they're working on making it compatible?

I just got a Nexus 5x with Android 6.0.1 and am having the same problem... barcodes were not being recognized. After a bit of trial and error, I found that if I rotate the phone so it is perpendicular to the barcode, it scans correctly every time. Very strange. But at least it works. I would be interested to hear if that works for anyone else.

Worked perfectly! Do it the counter intuitive way! Lol. Thanks.
