Android NanoVNA WebApp - does not work on version 6x


 

Just FYI in case you have an older phone. And it's called WebApp, but it's really Android, so perhaps that is where some confusion comes in .

Webapp not in play store. Android 5 support impossible?


 

Folks, it's called _ NanoVNA _ in the Google Play store. Please do a search.?

Android 5 is too old - I believe you need 7 and up for this.?

As for the webapp name - there are two: NanoVNA-WebUSB and NanoVNA-WebSERIAL?

Both require the use of Zdiag to change the driver on your PC and IMHO, you are MUCH better off just using either the NanoVNA-Saver or TAPR applications on a PC or the Android NanoVNA app on a phone or tablet.?

.. and not even that for an acer CB5-571 Chromebook that emulates Android 7.1
The app installs fine from Play Store; simply search for nanovna.
Unfortunately, the app always reports "No device found!" to Connect.

This Chromebook can communicate with nanoVNA using Diginow Serial Terminal.


 

I have a Samsung S7 Edge actually Android 8.
I did already many test for the nanoVNA with chrome without succes.
I downloaded nanoVNA app it didn't work.
Yesterday I used a normal OTG cable instead of the Samsung micro USB to USB A Stick delivered with the S7 and bingo i could connect and it worked.

The Android app has JavaScript ported from the web app,
using Capacitor
.. which requires at least Android version 7.0 on API 24 to use the Android Emulator.

That web page goes on to suggest that "Physical devices should work
as low as Android 5.0 (API 21) as long as their System WebView is updated."
User comments for the update app are discouraging:


.. and anyway my newest Android device is only 4.2.2 (API 17)
and despite its USB OTG working with some other USB devices,
all six serial terminal Android apps tested hung the nanoVNA.
