Hi together,schluerfi1978 wrote:Harry, I'm wrapping up my starting post again.
In spring, I switched from iPhone to Android (Sony Xperia S). While waiting for the release of Harry's Laptimer for Android, I've been using a competitor product of yours (namely "Torque"). My China BT dongle worked well on the BMW Z4 with Torque. With the release of HLT for Android, I changed back to your app and I'm having the same connection problem as I had with the combo "China dongle, Z4 and iPhone". Since the Torque app worked well, this tells me that the issue is caused by the HLT engine.
I would definitely appreciate if you could put this problem on your to-do list for upcoming bug fixes for the Android version. If I can support you with more additional info, please let me know!
since a forum shall not only consist of questions, but also contain answers, I want to post the solution with my issue above. Basically, the China dongles have been the root cause of the missing communication between the car and HLT due to bad implementation of the OBD standard into the dongles. After switching to an original PLX Kiwi Bluetooth Version 2, I instantly got a proper connection between the car and HLT.
At this point, I'd like to thank Harry for his extensive support which revealed the reason for the communiation issue! Unfortunately, I cannot do this by posting a positive review of HLT on the Google Play Store, since for some unknown reason, my review is not published. And Google's support on this problem was very bad, just unsubstantial e-mails - far away from the support that Harry is offering!
