Hi
I Updated my Sony Z1 compact to Android Version 5.0.2 and the sbrick to version 1.3. Then i updated my two sbricks with the new firmware successfully.
Now i can't use My Creations anymore. I can enter to configure my creations to add my profiles, which will not be saved.
the only way to use my sbricks is, with the Port tester in Manage Bricks.
I am now very satisfied with this software. I hope it will get better soon.

Since I deinstalled the complete sbrick App including all my cerations, and reinstalled the newest one, all functions work again without problems.
thank you sbrick Team.
One function i still miss. I would like to control two sbricks with one creation.
Thanks
Hello!
I use some noname android device: model QC706EU, Android 4.4.4, core 3.10.28, CPU Qualcomm MSM8916.
I've installed SBrick App version 1.4. When I try to connect to my SBrick the app show the message "you need to update firmware". And when I try to update the firmware the app crashes.
Any ideas?

Hello!
What is your phone type and android version?
Showing a battery status would require having a sensor in the battery box, capable of sending the status to the receiver. I don't think Lego has ever thought about that...
v1.4 still in test here. Works much better than the older versions for sure, but these display issues are really annoying when you try to design a new profile!!!
Another point that was not raised yet. All tablets owners probably know this point.
Some screens are displayed with the current orientation (landscape or portrait), while others are forced in portrait mode. It's probably fine when you use a smartphone and let the automatic screen rotation on, it's a problem with tablets.
Landscape being more natural with a tablet, and automatic rotation being rather irritating, you may have disabled the automatic screen rotation.
With the Sbrick Android app, the screen changes orientation whenever you switch from one screen to another: really, really irritating.
All the app screens must use the current screen system orientation, forcing a screen in portrait mode is a mistake.

Oops........so,what can i do?please advise thank you for help
[/blockquote]
I have no idea :(
I'm not even sure if I'm right. I just saw that that both my firefox (on PC) and chrome (on phone) said that the certificate has expired. I think the android system doesn't allow the Sbrick app to connect the website. Maybe someone can confirm my theory.
[/blockquote]
Yes, you are right! The certification is expired. We are working on it!

I have this problem.....when i asign a custom profile with a PNG (i don't test JPEG images yet) for the background. The image looks ok in the profile designer and if i look in the Gallery in the phone also looks ok.....but in the sbrick app when i use the profile the colors looks strange, specially the black....looks wash out...with some spot in differents color....like a image with less palette of colors. This also happens in the 1.3 version.

Exactly what I had with my Galaxy Note 10.1 with a dark picture: PNG or JPG conversion is not what it should be.
v1.4 is a great improvement: looks more stable than the previous versions, and several issues were solved.
My key concern - considering I have one Sbrick only - is the display management : coordinates, sizes, and colors are messed up.
Just tested the 1.4 version + Samsung Galaxy S3......now works better. Now the re-connect screen that appear in the 1.3 version now disappear (at least in the 10 min i test) and i only have 1 crash.

Edit: I just change the link for the images....was upside down. Now is ok.
Thanks for the heads up Frederic!
Didn't have notice the change.
Just made a quick test and it seems another steep in the good direction.
The changes that I've noticed:
- Indication of the brick Firmware (written Software) and Hardware versions while assigning functions to ports in My Creatins definition.
This information is although not visible in Manage Bricks where it should primarly be.
- Rotated Sliders and Joysticks are now working. I think default motor directions are reversed in the Joystick control type though. Work around can be easily applied with port inversion.
- I feel the app now takes longer in average to find all the SBricks switched on. Maybe to make it more robust and connecting to more devices!?
What I still miss:
- Profiles still appear siginificantly deformed at smartphone display. In particular the circular forms like the Joysticks.
It looks really weird and wish we could see this fixed really soon, depite it is a purely aesthetics aspect.
Kudos!

Do you mean you can't add profile on the windows phone app? If yes, could you describe what you do step by step, and what happens?
Some days ago i wrote that i'am not able to add a sbrick to my moc because every time i got the update message. I did the update several times without errors, turn off and on bluetooth as recommended but it was only apparently successful. So the app was total unusable, because i can't skip the update message.
Today i did a successful firmware update with a windows phone Lumia 930, but before and after i can't add a profile. Nothing happens.
But now it seems the sbrick can be used with the android app 1.3. Some tests were successful.While no reliable working app for non ios devices exist, i have to say: scrap
Just upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge to Lollipop (5.01).
I was affraid it was going to stop working... but I glad it looks it now working even better.
Didn't experience any disconnect/reconnect so far, which were quite frequent with 4.4.4.
Tested with 3 SBricks visible simultaneously and interacting with 2 of them in the same model or 1 in another model.
Kudos!
Now I just want the profiles to look a bit better on Android. :)
Hi,
I finally got some time to test the newest version of the Android App.
Happy to say I was able to control my simple MOC without any problems.
I was only using a Buggy Motor for drive and an M Motor for steering, but it all worked fine, first time, with no crashes.
Cheers.
