SecureRegion only works when UUID, Major and Minor are all null?

[emaddoma]

Perhaps I'm doing this wrong, but I can't monitor a SecureRegion when I specify any of the three parameters.

beaconManager.startMonitoring(new SecureRegion("One", UUID.fromString("XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"), 100, 18800)); // this does not work
beaconManager.startMonitoring(new SecureRegion("Two", UUID.fromString("XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"), 100, null)); // this does not work
beaconManager.startMonitoring(new SecureRegion("Three", UUID.fromString("XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX"), null, null)); // this does not work
beaconManager.startMonitoring(new SecureRegion("Four", null, null, null)); // this works

So it appears the flip mode interferes with beacon monitoring. I turned it off and was able to see my beacons just fine. Incidentally, I've found flip mode to be very inconsistent and problematic on iOS as well, but not this bad. Seems like you guys need some QA.

Can you elaborate on that?

1/ "flip mode" - do you mean Flip To Sleep mode? When beacon is upside down is stops broadcasting?
2/ How was looking your setup?

[emaddoma]

Yes, Flip to Sleep mode was suspect. I turned off Flip to Sleep and began seeing entry and exit events in my app. Then they disappeared again, so I jacked the setBackgroundScanPeriod up to once per second for both scan and wait and they came back. Now I'm trying Flip to Sleep mode again to see if it wasn't the setBackgroundScanPeriod defaults.

So it seems it wasn't the Flip to Sleep mode. The default background scan period is not working for me at all, though. Setting it to a rather frequent value (1 seconds scanning, 6 waiting) seems to be the only way I get reliable entry and exit events on my device (Nexus 5). A waiting period of any longer than 8 seems to render the SDK useless.

We will be tomorrow releasing SDK with probable fix to your issue. I'll notify this ticket once it is done.
