What's new in SA6
Support Application 6 (SA6) marks a significant step forward for BlueFletch's on-device telemetry and support-diagnostics agent. It delivers a redesigned, guided diagnostics experience, a new user-identity view, additional device-protection alerts, and a modernized technical foundation built on Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, and WorkManager.
These enhancements help support teams resolve device issues faster and give end users more effective self-service tools. SA6 is the successor to Support Application 5 (SA5); to get these improvements, update your fleet to SA6.
Key Feature Changes
The key changes in SA6 are:
Device Health Diagnostics
Introduces a guided, sequential pass/fail wizard covering Battery, Network, Location, Bluetooth, NFC, RFID, Storage, Memory, and Host/IP/Ports checks.
Replaces SA5's disconnected detail screens with a single guided flow and a pass/fail summary, so end users and technicians don't need to know which screen to check.
User Identity
Adds a new screen showing the currently logged-in user (ID, username, roles, groups) and identity-provider (IdP) connectivity status, sourced from the BlueFletch Launcher session.
Includes paginated login history. SA5 had no working equivalent to this feature.
Bluetooth Disconnect Alert
Plays an alert when a paired peripheral (e.g. a barcode scanner) disconnects unexpectedly.
Adds a new
bluetoothdisconnectalertevent so unexpected disconnects are visible in device history and analytics.
Device Drop Detection
Uses the accelerometer to detect free-fall followed by impact, with configurable sensitivity thresholds and a cooldown period.
Adds a new
devicedropevent for tracking physical-damage risk across a fleet.
Dedicated Network Test
Adds a distinct endpoint-reachability and latency test against BlueFletch- and organization-configured endpoints, separate from the throughput-focused Speed Test.
Can run on demand or on a schedule, and reports results via a new
networktestevent.
Security Settings
Adds a dedicated screen auditing device security posture - ADB status, developer mode, lock screen, root, and USB state.
Honeywell HxLogger Support
Adds Honeywell HxLogger control alongside existing Zebra RxLogger support, using the same auto-revert-on-timer design.
