Why won't Collector record the NMEA metadata from the Trimble R1 receiver?

 I have used the GNSS Status Utility with firmware 5.03 to apply NMEA setting to the R1 so that I can connect to it through bluetooth directly from Collector. It seems to be working well and I'm getting 20" accuracy without GNSS Status Utility app installed on the tablet. I can see all the NMEA data when I tap the symbol at the lower right of the screen. I have added the relevant fields into the FGDB feature class table before sharing the hosted service to ArcGIS Portal. The feature class is copied to the managed database in that process. So even though I can see the data in Collector while viewing the map, it is not being stored in the feature class when I collect a point.

Update! With the latest version of Collector installed I am now able to record the NMEA data in a hosted feature layer or a feature service from our enterprise GDB.

I have the same issue: The same Collector application deployed to #PostgreSQL on Linux fails to collect the metadata in iOS or Android phones. The version tied to Oracle 11g works fine.

Both are using the same Phones and R1 devices. Is there a version of PostgreSQL that is involved?

We are using Collector apps downloaded this month so should be good there.

This was one of the only postings I was able to find that was related to this matter, so maybe not a big issue for most, or many are not making use of the metadata or the R1?
