    Hi Guys,

    Everything going well, but it seems need a few more days for our developers. They are working hard, so hopefully we can start the public test and you'll see the totally new application soon :) Thanks for the patience.

    [/blockquote]

    This means that everything's alright: developers ALWAYS need a few more days - LOL :)

    OK guys, do things right. Better test and re-test as much as necessary before any release.

    Hi Guys,

    Sorry for the late reply. The developers are working really hard on the new application. It will get a totally new design as well.

    Hi,

    First, let me say that you guys have a great innovative product with SBrick! 

    I have been testing the last week with SBrick.  I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 with Android 5.1.1 and the SBrick at firmware 4.4.  The only thing I noticed is that every so often, regardless of distance the communication is dropped and most of the time this locks the app.  I tried both the SBrick 1.7 app and the SimpleControl available from Google store with the same result.  Just today, I downloaded the SimpleControl posted in the forum and this no longer happens!

    Look forward to the next version of SBrick for Android.  Any idea on a next version that brings the functionality available on iOS to Android and this fix?

    Thanks - keep up the good work you guys!

    [/blockquote]

     

    I am also waiting for this new version.

    I hope il will be fully operationnal and provides all the functionnality of iOS.

    I do not want to wait almost one more year with an alpha version...

    Like Kevin said, the harware is amazing and works fines with iOS so it is a little disappointing when playing with android

    [/blockquote]

    Same! I hope it comes soon!

    Hi Tamas,

    i was a few days afk but now back in the game. today i gave it a try and managed to upload the firmware 4.40 by using my android tablet (nexus 7 2013, android 5.01) and simplecontrol-201510021700.apk. 

    SBrick 1.7 is working fine, too :)  Looks like the showstopper was the old firmware 4.1 and the error when updating the fimware.

    ...many thanks for your support!

    Here is a new version of the Simple Control: https://www.dropbox.com/s/crziibp5nyzsgag/simplecontrol-201510021700.apk?dl=0

    It uses appropriate API calls on each Android version to initiate scanning, and requests the OS to use faster connection.

    It also displays connection information on the green status bar when connected (after a few seconds, it looks like this: 48.8ms/0/17321.0). The first number is the connection interval, the second is the slave latency, the third is the connection timeout.

    Good luck,

    Hi , I'm an Italian new user of this fantastic object.

    I've received my 4 sBrick today but.... they seems doesn't work.

    Onto sBrick official application, the three sBrick are found , but not responding at any command.

    After a firmware update the LED is forever ON ,before forever OFF. (firmware update in Safe mode)

    If I launc the Simple Control Application , they are founded but doesn't work.

    I also tried an OTA firmware to 4.3 at 4.4 but the application stop the process at 2%.

    The third device I started first the Simple Control Application and it worked at version 4.0

    Then I make the firmware to 4.0 directly to 4.4 onto this application because the official sBrick application requested me the upgrade.

    The third device noe doesn't work (LED forever ON).

    What can I do with my last device?

    And with the first three one?

    Sorry my very bad English.

     

    I've one Samsung s4 GT-I9505 with Android version 5.0.1

    Hi Makar,

    Do you try to use the app this way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5NtKQJOdbU

    If
    yes, and if your still doesn't connect to the SBrick, please try to pair your phone with your SBrick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v13O7wWiXm0 ) and try it again use the simple control app:

    Hi Tamas!

     

    just tried it and it worked!


    I discovered i hade firmware version 4.3 not 4.4 and updated that.

    Then tried the sbrick app and that worked too but only for a short amount of time.

    It then didnt respond and closed.

    Thanks for your attention,

    Makar

    Please download this simple control application? Does it work on your phone? Can you control the SBrick with this application?
