I had trouble connecting my Android phone to my Labradar all of a sudden and have spent all day yesterday and today trying to get it to connect again as I had no trouble before connecting.
I have tried this on the 1.2.4 and 1.2.7 firmware versions and with both the 1.0 and 2.5.2(newest) software versions and it connected right up and stayed connected on both versions.
I have version 7.1 of Android on my phone so it is an older version and this may not work on newer versions but it might be worth a try if you are having trouble connecting.
Here is what I did:
1. Turn on your Labradar unit so that it is up and running before you do the next steps.
2. Turn on Location on your phone and set the Display to "Always On"
3. Turn on "Airplane Mode" (which will turn off bluetooth and should leave Location on, check to make sure that Location is still on and turn it back on if it is off)
4. Turn on Bluetooth and let it find your Labradar.
5. Start your Labradar app on your phone and refresh the software so that it finds your Labradar.
6. Tap the Labradar that it found and it should connect right up.
I am guessing that all of the other connections that Airplane Mode is turning off is interrupting the bluetooth connection or stopping it altogether. Hopefully this will help someone get connected that is having problems. This is basically making your phone a dedicated interface for the Labradar.
