Portal scan has been working for me for some time. Even with the new Lightship AR . But now, suddenly, the scan portal button is no more.
I have a Xiaomi 11 lite 5g.
I have tried uninstall/install of ingress with no improvement. It lets me install Lightship AR, but button is still missing.

Same problem i've met after a updating to 2.123.2. My device is Samsung SM-S9110（Galaxy s23） The screenshot shows missing scan button in setting page.
I have the same problem, there's just no option to scan. I only have a mid range Galaxy A33 and was thinking I may need to go out and buy a Galaxy S23 or similar Quality, but I see you have the S23, so that won't work. There was a link to download the Lightship App and I click that, but I don't think it downloaded as it was too fast, it just disappeared and I can't find it in the app drawer.
I hope this will be fixed soon, I was enjoying working towards Scout Controller Onyx.
I have the same problem. Samsund s23
I removed and install ingress but doesnt help
Same problem. S23+ I was able to upload a ton of scans last Tuesday and then it wasn't there when I went to go scan a new portal next next day or so. Started on 123.1 and still an issue on 123.2.
New version does not resolve the problem for me.
Still no scan on 2.124.2 on current S8 and J7-2017
I'm sad, i go on vacation and want to scan uniek portals but i still cant scan. No button. Its strange that not evrybody seem to have this problem but its not fair. I just was working for the badge.
This is frustrating, I've been working towards Onyx Scout Controller and now the Scan button is missing.
The Devs here just seem to be ignoring the problem. Please let us know what is going on. Are you working on a fix or do we need to upgrade our phones?
I just want to get back to scanning.
Same bug on Oneplus nord 3 on 2.123.2 and now 2.124.2. Scanning worked without issue on 2.123.1. Scanning works in Pokémon Go v. 0.281.3-G-64. Can you fix Ingress?
I also am still having the same issue after updating to 124.2.
Same bug since 2.123 version with Android 13 on Samsung Galaxy A52s.
No scan is possible after clean cache and réinstall app.
Same... in ingress, but pokemon works!
Same. OnePlus11.
Same problem here. Scan button has disappeared.
16 beacons about new Monster Hunter. 0 commits to scan error?
On my samsung s10 button is there weird but not oneplus nord2
I got Oneplus nord 2 and 170 scans before they removed The Button. I wish they just told US that they will fix it we al make misdtakes and development to 100s of modells nowdays can be trickie when testning betas before release.
I bet Monster Hunter Now doesn't have free beacons about Ingress. (I got an ad when I restarted Ingress this morning as well.)
Also here on Xiaomi 11T button still missing. Missed like 100 unique scans by now and can't retake the ones in my playzone
Same bug POCO X4 GT. Used to work just fine, now the button is missing. Erased all data, reinstalled Lightship AR from Ingress settings. Checkbox does not show as in OP's screenshot. Will this get attention and fix anytime soon?
Thanks
I fixed the missing scan button bug, I bought a Refurbished Galaxy S22+ Nice phone, fair price. I must say though, the difference in the scanning is remarkable compared to the Galaxy A33 that I was using, I can see why Niantic narrowed the list of phones that could contribute to scanning, these scans are a lot better quality.
I just wish they'd been upfront with us from the start, the lack of communication over this issue was terrible.
gpu on that phone is not supported also even if u have good phone if it has mediatek chipset it wont work at all unless niantic changes this many have lost option to scan so u cant do muchonly change to better phone then
Same problem with Asus rog phone 6D ultimate ... Button diseapear ... I did many scan with that phone and now i can't ... Why ?
I see in the FAQ ... My GPU is supported ...
Ingress is using n old version of the ARDK which will be deprecated end of March.
Issues like this will be resolved once ingress has been migrated to the ARDK 3 platform.
It is sadly not a trivial exercise, and comes with a lot of inherent risks.
Unfortunately time is running short, and a lot of refactoring needs to be done. It is a big project.
I have every confidence that the super Ingress dev team will achieve this before the old ARDK they are using expires.
What risks exactly?
Everything!
All the features, core elements of the game etc
I can scan stops in PoGo but I cannot scan portals in Ingress. I used to be able to scan portals. Device is an Apple iPad 7th Gen running iOS 16.6.1.
Pokémon Go is using the out of date method of scanning.
A Point Cloud, which is computed on the server from video clips, they are quite inaccurate, but requires no effort on the users device.
Meshing was brought in, meshing generates on the device a real time mesh generation of the object, and requires a flagship device because of how computationally heavy it is.
Volumetric AR scanning is the new system, and is quite fascinating if you take time to read the patents on it. And was exclusively only available for Lightship ARDK 3 developers. The Ingress dev team are smart cookies and back ported it to their ARDK version of 2.5.
It generates a mesh using voxels (volumetric pixels), and is designed to not rely as much on a device's sensors, accelerometer, gyroscope possibly including a magnetometer. Which means that lower end devices could do high resolution scanning.
But only in ARDK 3, Ingress uses ARDK 2.5 and therefore requires a beefy processor and sensors budget devices do not have.
Minimum spec for Apple devices is an iPhone 8.
I have no idea how that relates to your iPad
Okay but it seems scans is very important to niantic and many agents cant scan now.
