ShadowDash preference setting "Disconnect while charging"

Post by haklis »

This weekend I have struggled to get one of my tablets to connect to my MS3 via bluetooth. I tried and tried and ShadowDash locked up a few times, and would not start properly. This was maybe due to the custom dash that I was working on also in parallel.

The solution? Untick the "Disconnect when charging" preference that I had tried earlier!!! :x :D Now it works. Might help others if they struggle with the same - trying to get connection without charger connected. Maybe this could be announced on startup if charger is not connected?

Perhaps..
I can certainly see someone forgetting they checked that and SD will then not connect until you plug it in :-)
