I would assume the current Shadow Dash release doesn't yet support "blockingFactor" that the new MS2 firmwares require.

And same for MSDroid, it hasn't been added yet (but soon).

Yes that sounds like it would be it. I have not put out the update out that fully supports the new protocol.
I didn't think it needed it, most of that hs been supported a long time and it worked fine when I tested with the old one.
I'll have to check.
.

I should be able to tomorrow, there are a few other things I wanted to finish up.

well due to my tablet not being supported by google play ...Phil when the update becomes available is there a way I can get it other than through google play. I sent google an email and they are telling me that since my tab is not on their list of supported devices that they cant help and I have been unsuccessful thus far at getting a reply from the customer support folks at Iview.

Yes. I always keep an installer at the regular tunerstudio.com download site. That is the preferred install source.

fantastic...so far I like the new firmware ...I have become spoiled with being able to have shadowdash running and logging all the time so I look forward to getting it back up and running.

Just a note, the firmware you are using isn't 3.3.10 This is an alpha prerelease code leading up to 3.3 i.e. pre-3.3 alpha 10.

Yes alpha 9 won't work either because it also has the blockingFactor.

No problem... You should be all set on Alpha 10 now.
As I said above, Shadow Dash has supported blockingFactor since inception.
The only problem was that I didn't realize alpha 10 was out and never put the current ini on my server. I just put it out there and it fires right up on alpha 10 now.

You just need internet access and Shadow Dash will update the ini for you.

The trouble here was, that if Shadow Dash doesn't have the ini, but identifies it as the firmware family of MS2 Extra, it falls to a default old ini and runs in read only mode. That ways it will still work until the ini is available. However in this case the failsafe ini didn't turn on the new protocol or proper blockingFactors.

What version firmware are you running? is that the stable 3.3.3?
If you have the signature, that would be good.

It is likely that the proper ini file isn't on your phone/tablet.

if that is the stable released 3.3.3, then the proper ini should be on the server. So you need to make sure your device has internet access the 1st time it connects, it will get the appropriate ini from the server then and use it going forward.

I apologize. Since it recognized the new firmware version I had ASSumed that it downloaded the file. I had disabled WiFi the other night to save battery life. I turned that back on and it successfully downloaded the .ini and it works great!

Thanks for the quick response. I also want to say thanks for the software. I've registered all 3 pieces of software and have the BTdongle from you as well. So far only problems I've had, were my fault. ;) Great job!

Thanks again!
