Good morning, look at the programming cable, it can give you mistakes, it happens to me too, regards, 73s.

With Bluedv of Windows work well. I must try to change the OTG cable, but then it works well on Android?Its only my issue?

Connect the gd77 to the phone with OTG cable, first press and hold the black side key when turning it on, this is important. change the channel to your access point, then, in TCPUART (transmission speed 115200), click on CONNECT, will the phone ask you with allow? click OK and then on the tcp server click SERVER, enter 2000 and START.
   press your start button (leaving TCPUART running in the background)
   start BLUEDV, configure, enable ser2net, enter ip 127.0.0.1 click send
   the radio should now say WAITING FOR TRACKING, click on the BLUEDV PHONE ICON and connect
   sometimes you may need to restart TCPUART
   If it doesn't work, verify that your phone is OTG compatible
   good luck

Hi all :D

recent changes to the tcpuart android app have caused me issues with reliability with the gd77 as a hotspot on android (under windows its fine) so I looked at the video posted on youtube by Riku https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OSyDwcrSuc and its dated Sep 16, 2019.

based on the date, the version of tcpuart would have been TCPUART_v1.2

so, I uninstalled v1.2.2 and reinstalled v1.2

using the latest bluedv 1.0.121 app

it still took 2 or 3 attempts to get it running, however, once running, it appears to be stable, however, on my old samsung sm-j320fn (Samsung Galaxy J3 2016) its a bit ropy :mrgreen: , other, newer devices, work fine.

here's hoping this helps someone

UPDATE v1.2.3 on a newer tablet works great first time :mrgreen:

I should also add that I am using the latest firmware 6 jan 2020

Thanks ea1mu but as you can see from the video everything works, but in TX after a few seconds it stops transmitting, in RX it's fine.Thanks m1ydp also with TCPUART 1.2 I have the same problem, I tried to change OTG and cable, but I always have the same issue, I will have to change Phone :(

You sure it's not RF causing issues? Maybe external antenna, or get cabling away from the antennas as much as possible, chokes, etc? Just a thought.

I had tried with dummy load, but with my Huawei it always does. Now I have tested on a Samsung and it works

I tried with my Nexus 7 2013 and I couldn't get BlueDV to do anything and every time I hit the multitasking/recents button and flipped back to TCPUART, the Server bit was stopped. I guess Android was killing it. :( Worked quite reliably on my Pixel 3 XL, however.

Good evening, I am having trouble connecting my gd77 in hotspot mode with the tpcuart and bluedv software, the tpcuart disconnects after transmitting the hotspot.
Is there any special configuration or other software that I can install, to be able to use my dg77 as a hotspot with a smartphone?
thanks
