Have you tried it with the latest stable firmware?

I am on current alpha because that is what has the correct decoder for my configuration to work with cam timing, so no, i have not switched back yet to the stable release.

it started happening after i had a custom version of the current stable release but it wasn't immediately.

Do you think the connection to SD and TS problems are separate or common?

It seems they are likely common.

So do i need to go back to current stable firmware to check if the symptom goes away?

If that is not a real PITA, it would be nice to know.

Phil,

I pulled out an old MS2 out of a box and plugged in, testing these units on the bench now.

It connected right away with no problem. after I power down ecu and start it back up i had the same problem, intermittent connection and no solid connection. I 'exited' the app by pushing back twice, went back into the app and still same wacky connection issue.

If i back out, and swipe shut or use an app killer it seems to work (so far)

this is how it goes when all is happy-

-connected to BT

-loading config ms3

-config loaded going online- then screen comes to life and works

when i cycle the ecu power WITHOUT killing app what i see on the app is this;

-connected to BT and then screen comes to life for about a second- dims out, (repeat, repeat, repeat...)- occasionally catching and coming to life and working, sometimes not

This had not been the case in the past, repeats on multiple ecus and android devices

Is your BT Adapter powered via PIN 9 or full time power?

Hmm, I was using it powered off PIN 9 so when you power cycle the MS, the BT gets power cycled as well.

I just tried it with full time power so the BT doesn't get power cycled. It seems to be working fine either way :P

I'll keep trying.

Its just plugged into the standard configured DB9, (not the usb deal on the side if thats what you mean by full power?)

yeah this has me stumped. the only cause and effect i can pin down is that is that after connected and the ecu/BT power down, it will not want to reconnect without closing the app (not just exiting by backing out)

its almost like on reconnect it jumps the gun and does not go through the whole process of connection.

again several android devices and 2 different ecus, (ms2x.ms3x), current release and alpha code. it has to be something in the BT communication somewhere???

I thought you had said that you were using that one. That is what I am testing with. But when I was just looking at a log you posted, it was not, It appears to be something else.

The following log is using the EFI Analytics one, that is where I probably had that in my head from.

hmmm... so you see something in the appdebug that says otherwise?

This is interesting maybe you are onto something

This is the only BT i own- bought it off your site. The only thing i have done was the same day (i think) i posted the log. Following another error from another post

In the 1st log it is trying to connect to: SCH-I545: 30:19:66:C5:8B:6F
Which would be something else.

Might need to disconnect and re select the EFI Analytics 01

the first log was off my samsung android phone- SCH-I545, was there something weird about the connection in that log?

the second was my nexus 7-

so are you saying to cancel BT connection on android device and re-establish the BT connection?

Yes.. because it shouldn't say it is connecting to itself.

Yeah, that makes no sense to me. I will mess with it some more and see what happens

I was wondering how the app deals with having two BT android devices turned on at and ready at once? clearly it only connects to 1 of them how does it determine which one it will connect to?

Who ever connects 1st gets it.

Once the blue light goes solid, it stops taking connections.
