enginear joe Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Well, there's a few more hours wasted. I did now get the ability to upgrade the app for $5. It still does not work. The funny thing is when I open the app, it doesn't show any active engines. So I go to the engine screen and there's no engines. I press new and it cycles with engine #12 in the background where I can't select it. The program comes back with no engines to add. If I try any of the recycling things the #12 is not there anymore. That's the same result that I had last night before I added all this google stuff. Urrrggg. Glad it works for you guys though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Almost sounds like you have a WiFi connection problem. How do you have the MTH WiFi Module setup?? I mean are you using the Home or MTH configuration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Joe, Is the WiFi Module updated to V1.10 Firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 One thing to do was well, anytime you have problems with the wifi app seeing engines, unplug the USB cable from the USB port on the TIU (you may need to unplug and plug back in a couple times to get the TIU light to go out). Once the TIU goes out/blinks then plug back in and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginear joe Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 yes, it's up to date. I got it from Ray. My old smart phone works fine with it so I would think the problem is in the Fire's tablet somewhere. This stuff is over my head and frustrating to me. I can easily spend hours and get no where. I've rebooted everything several times too. When I have free time to waste, I will try it again. When I upgraded the app in my old phone, I believe the app stumbled to upgrade the first time. It took a couple of reboots. It appears the pad is updated OK, so I'm guessing it's something blocking it talking to the TIU? What do I know?.....

Chuck Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I recall over on the o gauge forum that you were very upset with the whole dcs wifi system via smartphone last summer and gave up...now it works?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Miller Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Upgraded TIU to 5.0 and hooked up WIFI DCS box this past weekend. Ran trains using an old ASUS 10 inch tablet, Samsung 7 inch tablet and Samsung smart phone. Was able to operate 4 trains simultaneously. Think I'm going to like it..........Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Since I got my 7 inch tablets, I've put the DCS remotes away so that I now always use the tablets and enjoy the experience much better. Hopefully we get the Premium version of the app near the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Miller Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Still use old remotes for xmas layout in house because I like to use the record/replay feature. Hope we get it on WIFI version........Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
