+xDave, you have to tap on the traffic radar instrument. I've found a way around this for my Android 9 tablet so that I could connect to PilotAware, and get live data for weather, etc in Skydemon at the same time. My process was to go to: Settings > Connections > Data usage > Mobile data only apps. I turned this on and and tapped to select Skydemon from a list of apps that came up, then Skydemon appeared to be forced to use mobile data even when the wifi was connected to PilotAware. It worked on my Samsung J5 phone as well (Android 9). Hope this helps

Yes, it will. Your cellular tablet computer will connect to the Internet via your SIM card. And to PAW via Wi-Fi. I am using it that way since over a year.

Wow that was a blast from the past!
I've not tried the bluetooth tethering as my tablet has a sim card. I also note that the latest version of Android allows you to override specific apps to avoid wifi, but as Skydemon is one app and needs to talk to both PAW and the Internet, I don't think either will help.
Tim, thanks, this was from before you fixed the problem in the Android app.

If you have a WiFi-only iPad (and you were used to get Internet to the iPad via an external modem, connected to the iPad via WiFi), this won't work anymore, as the iPad cannot connect to two WiFi links at the same time.
You can use Bluetooth tethering for the internet connection (to an Android phone for example).

+xad 2) You, you can tab on the Traffic Radar window, and select "mute all traffic". I think this silences all verbal traffic alerts (while still showing them on the Traffic Radar) until next take-off. Tapping on my Android tablet does not bring up any options to "mute all traffic" - is this an iOS feature only?
Thanks, Dave

Indeed. You've told SkyDemon to use an internet connection but not while flying, and you aren't flying. You're taxiing. Unfortunately the wifi hotspot you're connected to is suggesting to your device that it may offer an internet connection, your device is telling SkyDemon that, and therefore SkyDemon is attempting to use it.
Because this keeps happening, we are changing the behaviour in 3.12.8 and future versions, so that SkyDemon will not attempt to use the internet in such a situation.

+x+xIs it actually trying to get the weather in flight? Or is it just when you've selected Go Flying but you're on the ground? The latter Tim - I often get errors prior to hitting "Go Flying", but I expect that as I'm connected to PAW, but not navigating. But I've been getting the errors whilst taxying, well after selecting "Go Flying". It happened again today Tim - only on the ground, but several times whilst taxying at both prior to takeoff and after landing.
