  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.

  The Good News is that I was able to upgrade the firmware on my SBrick using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (running stock Android 4.3) with the new 1.2 app
  The Bad News is that after trying for about 10 minutes, I cannot get a profile to save against a MOC.Which means I can not setup any controls for the MOC, All I am able to do is use the port testing
   
  The process I used to upgrade firmware on the SBrick (exactly as i did it the time It worked)
  1) I used a Power Functions Battery Box with 6x AA Batteries (normal Alkaline Batteries)    20cm Power Functions Cable to connect the battery box to the SBrick    I had NOTHING ELSE CONNECTED to the SBrick    I turned the battery box on by sliding the switch AWAY FROM THE CABLE
  2) I plugged my charger into my phone (using a wall socket - 240v)    I set my phone to turn the screen off after 10 minutes of inactivity.
  3) I opened the SBrick App on my phone (version 1.2)
  4) Went to...    less

  I just tried again with the new 1.2 app, I have my screen set to a 10 minute timeout, so it did not turn off
  I also waited about 3 or 4 minutes before I restarted bluetooth.
  Still the update did not work. :-(

  When I installed the 1.1 APK the brick needs to be updated and continally fails. But you cannot use the brick on Android untill it is updated.
  I haven't tried the 1.2 Android version yet (I will in a few hours when I get home) but so far I cannot get my SBrick to update after trying a number of different phones (Galaxy Note 2, iPhone6, iPhone4S)

  I tried to update the firmware with the Android 1.1 App as well at with the iOS version which is currently on the apple app store.
  for Android i tried using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Android 4.3)
  for iPhone i tried both a iPhone6 and a iPhone4S both with the latest version of iOS.When trying to update with the iPhones i had the exact same problem that Allan talks about in the iphone thread (I also posted in there)
  All of them say that the update is succesful but as soon as i restart the app and try to connect to the brick, it says it needs to update the firmware.
   
  I have tried everything I can think of in the Android App, but I cannot seem to find a way to use the brick without updating it, is that correct?
  In the iPhone app on my friends phone, i could still control the brick on a MOC with the old firmware.  less

  @Philipp - Is there a way in your app to control a MOC? or is there only the 1 screen for testing the channels on the SBricks?
  Would be cool if you could make a simple control screen with some sliders, even it it was only for a single SBrick.

  I was able to get my MOC working using the iPhone6 and the SBrick with the Old Firmware.
   
  I cannot get the Android App to control the SBrick at all, the only thing it lets me do is upgrade the firmware, which always says "Success" but doesn't actually work.
   
  I tried Philipp's app on my Galaxy Note 2, and it connected fine and controlled the 2 motors I had on the SBrick.
   
  I will try with an iPhone4S tonight and see how that goes  less

  From what I could tell, you need to update the firmware before you can use the 1.1 version of the app to control a MOC????
   
  I guess i'll try again tomorrow :-(
  Does the iPhone version work better? should I try to get one of my friends with an iPhone to do the firmware update?
