Omni doesn't see my android device

[Daniel1521]

Omni has been working pretty smoothly for me so far, but I've installed on an older tablet of mine (Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T217S) running a custom ROM (LineageOS build of Android 7.1.2). Omni installed and activated with no issues, and runs okay, but the tablet was never discovered as a device. It doesn't even see itself via the Omni app.

Hi Daniel,

I assume you installed Omni - Family Guardian app on it, correct? Has this tablet been connected to your home WiFi network?

[Daniel1521]

I did, yes. And it's spent months on my home network.

Hi Daniel,
we looked into our backend systems and found that your device could be detected as mobile "unknown device". Could you provide us with MAC address of the device? (Settings - System - About phone - Status - Wi-Fi  MAC address). Thanks, Zbynek

Hi Daniel,
The tablet is probably detected as MOBILE_PHONE / Samsung / Roku 1 / Android 7.1.2 / Name: android-b99f4e56. Please find the device in "Online
 devices" when is connected to your wifi, and rename the device ("Edit name"). Thanks, Zbynek
