I will reiterate though, that if the manufacturer knows the nature of the occasional erroneous messages and accepts their bug by documenting them, we could build in a specific tolerance to them in the specific parser for the specific message. That is my offer. We will not be tolerating corruption in general.

All we want is, that SD does not stop working if there is a buggy data from time to time. @Marc: could you borrow Tim a FLARM Portable with an Airconnect 2?

At the moment i need it for flying. Today i made a test: and connected two devices (tablet & phone) at same time to the FLARM what is possible with the new AirConnect. That worked fine fo some time. On both devices there appeared the error message... BUT: not at the same time !? Sometimes the phone shows the error somtime the tablet.... If the FLARM where sending wrong data, why didn't stop both devices at the same time?? Why does one device stop the navigation and the other has no problem with the data? That seems not to be logical?

Hi Tim, as both devices getting the same data at the same time, the data could not be bad, unless at least one device continues to work. What do you think? The issue has to be anywhere else!? I've tested the whole night - interruptions occoured between 45 mins to 120 mins, but NEVER on both devices at the same time (at least 20 minutes difference. At weekend i will test it with the iPad of my friend. Just check if it is nur just an Android issue.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 58, Visits: 392	Hi Tim, as mentioned, today i've tested SD on Android Tab an Ipad at the same device, same time (both got the same data from FLARM+Airconnect) The Andriod stopt working 2 times in 1 hour couse of allegetly wrong data while the Ipad continues working without any issues. Now i'm sure, that the data from the FARM are flawlesly. It seems to be a bug in android coding. Please consider that information! Regards Peer @ Marc: What do you think?

Did you test it on Android or iOS? Maybe...I don't know the difference between TRX and original FLARM. Maybe differences in data protocol? Don't know. I just know, that there are issues with Andoid devices (i have tested 4 defferent ones) and no issues with iOS. You mentioned, that SD does not accept any errors from GPS devices, so the FLARM has to be ok. Why else should the FLARM on iOS working flawlessly? (Tested 24h) Pleas help and let me love SD again. It is one of the best navigation apps i know.
