Thanks, I've opted-in for the beta test program. It should be especially interesting to me, as the previous beta version (whose APK link was published in this topic) works fine with my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (Android 5.1.1), but my NVidia SHIELD Tablet K1 (Android 6.0.1) can't recognise that there's an SBrick connected.
The new (4.2.1.) SBrick beta application has released.
You can opt-in to our beta test program on the following link:

News:
- stability improvements
- driver bugfixes
Please test it, and share with us your experiences.

Hi,I have Blackview 6000 and both apps can't find Sbrick. I've tried pair, unpair and reboot.
P.s. With iPhone works fine. Firmware version 17. (Upgrade on iPhone doesn't work)

Dear Alex,
I forward your problem to our developers, they will check what could they do. :)
We ask for some patience,

I imagined there was a new protocol! ;) Thanks!
Well, actually is the same of before...the data returned is always 0.
0F Query ADC
0F < ADC channel ID, 00 or 0e >The ADC channels are read at every 2 seconds. These values are stored
in variables, and this query simply reads those variables. Because of
this, ADC data can be up to 2 seconds old.Temperature can be read on channel 0x0E, voltage on 0x00.
Return:
2 byte, little endian, 12 bit resolution ADC reading on given channel.
Value is stored MSB. (Must be divided by 16)All ADC channels are using the internal 1.24V reference.
The PSU voltage is dropped through a 10:1 voltage divider.
VPSU = (ADC * 0.83875) / 2047.0Temperature can be calculated as: celsius = ADC / 118.85795 - 160
Where 160 is an offset
Dear Francesco,
please refer the new SBrick protocol here: https://www.sbrick.com/sbrick_protocol_16.txt

Pairing it and unpairing it made it working! :D So it was a cache problem I suppose.
What about Temperature & Voltage?

I've the FW 17 and I just sent a report about these problems:
1. the Android app doesn't connect anymore (but the Sbrick iOS app and the Simple Control app work fine), it stays in loop while connecting (but seems to read the SBrick infos).
2. I cannot retrieve anymore Voltage and Temperature with the commands in the protocol 4.8 page, but iOS and Android apps seem to read them fine, except the Simple Control app:
Hope to get a fix soon! :(
[/blockquote]
Hello again!
We ask you to try out to connect with the help of these steps.
1. Please use Wi-fi connection with the SBrick app.
2. Restart your phone, than the application and the Bluetooth on the device.
3. If these did not solve the problem, please Pair, than unpair the SBrick in the Bluetooth system of the Android device.
If none of these will work, please contact us again.
Best wishes,
Balint

The app ask a firmware update but the sbrick didn't won't coz firmware is too old. Same message on iOS or android. Since this, can't use them and no answer.[/blockquote]
Dear Jean,
We have a little bug with the firmware update function in the application. (If everything goes right, on the next week we will release an update with a bug fix, considering this problem.)
It means that, if you had an older firmware version that 12, in the past, now you won't be able to update it via the new app.
You has to download our simple control application, and update your SBricks with the help of that.
Here you can find it (it is only available for android devices)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vengit.blecontrol&hl=en
If you updated the SBricks firmware with this app, you will be able to use it with the original one, both with android and IOS devices.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Best wishes,
Balint

Edit : Find the solution alone .... Used an app called "Sbrick Simple Control" and do a firmware update. After that all is operationnal and work.

Now i tried again and again to make it work with my sbrick.
No problem to couple it with the phone but no way to found it with the sbrick app...I tried many times coupling uncoupling run the app but no result at all ...
maybe If it's a firmaware problem but I can't update the sbrick firmware without the app and i don't know how to do to make it available for the app...Is someone has any advice or solutions ...

Any other solutions ?

Hi
I updated one of my SBricks to fw 4.17 and the battery and voltage readings doesn't work.
I only get 00 00 back when sending 0F00 and 0F0E according to protocol https://social.sbrick.com/wiki/view/pageId/11/slug/the-sbrick-ble-protocol
It works as expected with my other sbrick with fw 4.8
The SBrick Simple Control app also shows readings for the SBrick with 4.8 but not for the one with 4.17
Is this a bug or is this feature not supported any more?
[/blockquote]
Hello Oscar!
It looks like a new bug.
Soon there will be available a "feedback" menu in the IOS app to report a bug like this, but till that time please fill out this form, our developers will contact you soon.

Also, I found that one of the bottom contacts (in the middle foreground on the below photo) of my SBrick (bought at Tomar BRInCKa 2015 in Portugal) looks recessed and probably doesn't touch the respective contact on the cable connected to it. Fortunately this contact appears to be one of the Power Functions motor lines and not one of the Power supply lines, as the SBrick still powers on, connects to my phone (but not the tablet), and drives its outputs. This isn't serious, is it?

Dear Alexandre,
It seems your SBrick have some hardware problem. You will get a replacement SBrick.
Please contcat us about the details at: info@sbrick.com

Hello,
Can you make, please,
one-one session with your devices with these steps?
1. restart the app
2. SBricks menu --> connect to one SBrick
3. use slider A for 3 seconds
4. use slider B for 3 seconds
5. tap onto the menu
6. wait 10 seconds
7. exit from the app
Thank you! Tamas
[/blockquote]
I'm not sure what you mean by "one-one session" but regardless I can't do what you ask because the app isn't connecting to the SBrick anymore. I can pair and unpair in the Bluetooth menu (a change from yesterday when pairing was beign rejected by the SBrick) but when I go to the SBricks menu in the app, I just get the grey screen with the spinning half-circles.
I'm having mixed results with my devices.
My Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (Android 5.1.1) used to work well with the latest versions of SBrick FW and app from the Store, but lately the app could detect the SBrick but, when opening its test page, it kept giving me the spinning circles. The Simple Control app worked similarly: the SBrick was detected, but the test sliders did nothing and the status bar remained dark green. Now, having installed the 4.2.0.76_2.136.16-r beta, it now works and I was able to update the FW.
With my Nvidia SHIELD Tablet K1 (Android 6.0.1), it's another story: neither the full app (even the beta) nor Simple Control detect my SBrick. It is visible on the Bluetooth Settings screen, but nowhere else.
Also, I found that one of the bottom contacts (in the middle foreground on the below photo) of my SBrick (bought at Tomar BRInCKa 2015 in Portugal) looks recessed and probably doesn't touch the respective contact on the cable connected to it.
