Anyone finding that the Wi-Fi is intermittent, having pauses and then contuing?
I got mine from twisted tuning. I don’t trust it for getting a log and surely not for a tune

anyone else notice the periodic stopping?
No issues at all. I’ve used it to flash, xhp, mhd and xdelete probably 20 times total since I got it. Not one problem.
I’ve logged probably 30 pulls in that time and had it running in the background quite often also. No issues.

Which model? E series or F series?

Not sure if this was mentioned. Can the mhd dongle support wifi direct? Would solve the dual wifi connection issue.

I received mine today, i tried it and it kept giving me (cable can't be detected) message.
The red color on the dongle is on and it shows connected on the WIFI but have the exclamation mark.

Any ideas?

Make sure you have updated your MHD app.

Anyone who is having the pausing issue, can you please run a few tests for me and report back?

1.) try with the cable and see if it also happens then
2.) back on wifi, set all gauges to the same style to see if it can be linked to one of the three styles

Thank you!

Someone? Anyone? Lol. 👀
The pausing has to do with background internet connections. A easy test is go to data and turn off background data. Otherwise you need to configure your device to not use wifi for internet.
I had it happen first few days and I tried running only 2 gauges still did it.

Seems it would be neat if the mhd app overrode wifi internet while the adapter is in use.

I use wifi and mobile data for internet services and seems to work fine.

But closing and cleaning background apps fixed all my pausing issues.

Exactly you need to have phone route ip6 through the mobile connection not the wifi but not all devices have that built into their factory rom. So either need to root in that case or disable background data. Closing apps works to just anything to prevent an app from timing out and and stalling the pipeline so to speak

My “dedicated” MHD phone doesn’t have a sim card with a contract so this is out of question in my case. Also I close all other apps when using the monitor fuction.

That actually means the prob is guaranteed in your phone as when it connects to wifi the android daemon starts updating all the little things like checking time against server and looking for security updates. Plus any app that is installed , "which their is factory bloatware you cannot remove unless rooted" will do the same.

Just disable background data or most phones if you put in low power mode should do this automatically.

The phone is updated when it’s in the house and not in the car so that’s unlikely but still possible yes.

With the latest MHD update I didn’t experienced any freezing monitor gauges.

I had to be on regular wifi when the app started, to get licensing, then switched to the mhd wifi and it was fine. E90 and a galaxy tab A.
