Few days ago I probably forgot the battery box switch open. Yesterday the battery box light did not lighted up. The batteries were fully discharged (I guess because of the sbrick’s Bluetooth operation). I changed the batteries and the battery box led works (I also tested the battery box with a motor – It was OK).
But the sbrick does not respond . No led working and cannot be found from my iPhone app.
Do you have any idea of what it might be happened or have you faced this before ? is there a possibility of sbrick failure because I forgot it open and worked for many hours ?
Hi Tamas,
ok i pair the SBrick in the bluetooth settings menu.
Now i can control the LED and the motors connected to the SBrick.
But i can not update to 4.4
When i am trying to update the sbrick with the simple control application, it run to 2% or 2800 bytes and then i get a error telling me "Connection failed" and i can retry but getting the same error every time.
I order an "ipad mini 4" today, and can try the update with the ipad in a few days.
I hope the software works better with IOS 9
Dear Uwe,
Please try to pairing your phone with the SBrick in the phone's bluetooth settings menu, then try to update the SBrick's firmware again.
!IMPORTANT!
If you paired the SBrick with your phone do NOT DELETE it later!
Hi Tamas,

Connection the the SBrick with this program seems to be ok, but when i try to update it, it run to 2% or 2200 bytes and then i get a error telling me "Connection failed" and i can retry but getting the same error every time.
What else can i try?
Dear Uwe,
Please delete the Simple Control App from your phone, and download this apk: https://www.dropbox.com/s/crziibp5nyzsgag/simplecontrol-201510021700.apk?dl=0
You will able to update your SBrick's firmware to 4.4 with this apk. After the udpate please restart your phone.
If you need any help just let me know.
I have got the same problem. I get my 2 sbricks last Monday. When I connected to the bricks, the app said to update the firmware on the bricks. After I did that, the bricks don't respond anymore and the LED is constantly on. When I try to run the firmware update again I get the same note as described above: Could not connect to SBrick, it might have been powred down, or gotten out of range"". I have turned off and on the BT on my phone in the mean time.

The two SBrick is running firmware 4.3 right now,
I read this guide: https://social.sbrick.com/wiki/view/pageId/34/slug/android-sbrick-stops-working-after-ota-workaround
But nothing will work.
What else can i try?
I am running an Moto G2 with Android 5.0.2
Please delete the simple control application from your phone and instal this version:

It should works. Update the firmware to 4.4 with this and restart your phone :)
Hey again
I am trying to update the sbrick with the program you link me.
Connection the the SBrick with this program seems to be ok, but when i try to update it, it run to 3% or 3800 bytes and then i get a error telling me "Connection failed" and i can retry but getting the same error every time.
Then i tryed to restart my phone and SBrick to try again, but now i only can see the SBrick in the app, but do i try to control it, i get connection error. do i try to update it, i get connection error even before i can chose what firmware to update to.
The SBrick is running firmware 4.3 right now,
What eles can i try?
Dear Mads,
Please download and update the SBrick's firmware with this application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vengit.blecontrol
After the update restart your pohne.
If you need any help just let me know. I'll help you.
I found out if i restart the phone and go into the SBrick app are ready, so when i turn on the sbrick i some time got 5sec of connection. maybe 1 out 10 times i try.
And by luck got the update to run. The LED on it blinks alot when is running then auto shut of and then on. get the message on the phone that update is completed.
But still the same problem. I still only some time can connect to it for 5sec and then i lose the connection. :/
I have tryed pair it again after the opdate on my phone. thats is working find. but still no help to connect to it in the app.
Where can i see what firmware version it have?
Dose it have a hard reset function some how?
I don't know what to do any more :/

First time nothing happen and i took the sbrick out of my lego set. tried again and it seems to work. but it in the lego set and it was working for 2min and lost connection. after that i have only have the look to get the identify led to blink once and nothing more.
The led is still on in the sbrick and have tried with new batteris, but no looks :/
i only get this error now "Could not connect to SBrick, it might have been powred down, or gotten out of range" :( the SBrick is 20cm from my phone right now and the light is on in the sbrick.
Not sure what to do any more, so any one got any ideer on what i can try?
