wierd shadowdash thing

Post by nismoautoxr »

K ...I am a occasional racer. last time was in april. The shadowdash app gave me problems with registration . An email to efianalytics fixed it . I set up an autox with me,my son, and my dad today (frickin awesome)and attempted to use shadowdash again and again it screwed with me by saying that there was a registration problem. I got home and tried to replicate it and could not . What gives? Its gotta be a googleplay thing but I have bought this app twice through google play an had registrations sent 2 times through EFI analytics so I feel I should be more than covered . Why do I keep getting hosed when I decide to log with shadowdash? This is with a samsung S4 running the latest software. When the malfunction occurs there is no wifi. once wifi is available then the problem appears to disappear,

Are you currently running on the EFI Analytics License or Google Play.

Google Licensing seems to time out if you haven't been connected to a network while running thee app in too long. I have come up with a way around this.

I intended to be running the app on the efi analytics license . I reregistered it back in april when a support tech emailed me a registration and didn't use it for a couple months then fired it up to use it at an autox on fathersday and dang thing did it again. How do I ensure google play has nothing to do with the app in the future?

Uninstall it from google play, then download the one from tunerstudio.com and install that.
That one will use the EFI Analytics registration.

It sounds like I better get that work around for Google play out there.

That's just the thing Phil. When this happened in April....I uninstalled the app from the phone, I downloaded and installed the app from efi analytics and then put it in the registration that you guys provided and it worked then the next time I tried to use it then I got this again. Ill try it again as you say but Ive only had the phone 6 months and ive only installed the app from your site not googleplay.

I had installed it from googleplay on my tablet way back last year and kept having troubles like this so I haven't messed with googleplay since then. Whatever is happening is a mystery to me .

Is it a big gap between running it? It shouldn't matter though.

couple months sometimes. I have not tried it since fathers day and have not done anything to the app since then so If you like I can try and see if I can reproduce it again.

I just went out and checked it and it connected , logged into shadowtuner .com and started logging like it should. I ran the log for 2 -3 minutes until I ended the log and the app. When it does it ....it connects to the MS then comes up with the message and offers 2 options. 1 is to register it and the other is to close the app. Each time this has happened has been at a racetrack or autox where I had no wifi availability if that means anything. This last time it acted up until I got home and parked in the garage which is in range of my wifi and it worked fine as it did just a few minutes ago.

That sure sounds like it isn't using the cached activation for some reason. I'll need to look into that.
