"batt":0 on Samsung Galaxy A3 device

[done7k]

Struggling with the battery level on my Android. The app is set with HTTP mode at the moment. The msg I am receiving seems has the tag "batt" but it is always zero, I tried to play with the "battery optimization whitelisting" option but it does not change anything. Is it something related to Galaxy phones? Will it help if I use MQTT instead?

My wife's Galaxy s20 has the same problem. My S21 transmits the battery level.

Same configuration.

Thanks for following up and apologies for not responding to your initial issue.

Can you check to see if you have extended data reporting enabled?

Enabling this populates the location messages with the battery level, status, connection type and connected WiFi details.

That was it. Many Thanks. However, the description is not well met. Possibly you can write something there.

Point taken well - I'll keep this open until updated.
