SBrick Android App in the forum
Support
I solved my problem of non working Sbrick after OTA UpdateI use a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 5.0
After i did a OTA Update from 4.0 to 4.3 with the 1.6.1 Android App, my Sbrick did not work. The connection to it worked, but it was impossible to control the Motors and the LED on the Sbrick was always on. I tried to restart BT, i stopped BT and delete all Data and Cache from BT, i reinstalled the Sbrick app, i updated the Firmware a several times, i restarted my phone, i shut it down and removed the Battery for 2 Minutes, i wiped the Android Cache Partition but nothing. Simple Control allways crash when i tried it, and the OTA Update to 4.8 allways failed at 2%. Last Night i updated the Sbrick App to 2.0 but it was even worse. With 2.0 OTA Update fails now too.
Then, when i thought I had nothing left to loose i unpaired the Brick in the Android BT and voilà, everithing works fine. I had not even to do a restart. Update to 4.8 worked too, at first time. No crashes, no lag's. Everythin like it should be. I once read here in the Forum that one should never unpair a paired Sbrick with Firmware less than 4.4 and it's true, after i unpaired the Sbrick it was not possible to pair it again. But in my case, it's not necessary. The Sbrick app recognized the Sbrick without pairing. After the Update to 4.8 now i can pair it again.
