The "no ADSB" issue continues with my Galaxy Tab A tablet so I just reboot IFLY and it comes back.

I'll just have to deal with it.

Does that tablet provide a way to see what wifi router it's connected to? My iPhone does--and so I was able to see that if I started a GoPro camera before the airplane's Ping ADSB router booted up, the phone connected to it instead of the Ping. When that happens, I have to manually force the phone to connect to Ping. Then ifly gets the ADSB signal just fine.

I have no other WiFi sharing my tablet in my plane.

IFLY didn't receive the logs because I didn't make my phone a hot spot so the non-phone tablet could taljk to the Internet.

If I see an occurence today I'll actually send a log.

Re: Does Not Pick Up ADSB input

Another issue with my Galaxy TAB A tablet connecting to IFLY.

Tried to update charts tethering my phone to the tablet that has no Internet connection. Kept getting an server not available until I closed out IFLY and went back in. Then it worked well.

Something about not all of IFLY features load sometimes on the 1st start up???
