Hi guys,
just installed Falcon MFD Software on tablet (Nexus7 Android 4.4.4) and MFD Server on PC (Windows 7). All is working very fine, but i can’t use any button of the MFD Android Software.
The MFD Server recognizes that i pushed a button by showing it in the incoming msg list. Even if i open the note pad for example it recognizes some of the key combinations when i push a button on the tablet.
Nevertheless Falcon bms 4.32 upd7 doesn’t get any input from tablet.I hope u can help me
thx

Did you tie your keyfile to the Server? Even with that, not all your buttons will work on the tablet in some cases. You will have to edit your keyfile to include the functions that are missing. Where are you located (i.e., east coast USA)? May be able to discuss via teamspeak.

i have a tablet that i got for free, it’s only a 7inch and it’s a slow one but programs for iRacing etc work on it so it’s good enough for me. Now i installed this software and when i go in the app to settings i can’t see the save button because of that small screen. The lowest part that i see is RWR port so i can’t save the settings…
Anyone know what i can do to fix this? i can’t scroll down either…

It seems that the most recent version runs much slower on my system (I’m using a 2 year old no-name Chinese tablet running 4.1.1) I would like to try to revert back to a previous release, is there an archive of old versions?
Thanks

If this was to fix my problem with the save button: still not working

I’m just giving this a first go - tried to install on a Samsung Galaxy S lll, it downloaded after I installed the MEGA app, saved it to downloads and tracked it down - smart phone it isn’t - installed the 1.7.1 version and tried it out. My screen went dark then a message popped up saying “Unfortunately Falcon MFD has stopped working.” I can only click ok. Tried installing the server to my system and it went in fine. Followed the steps in the install guide and I was still stuck on the app itself. It didn’t want to load again and same message after a black screen. Tried the earlier app 1.7.0 after uninstalling the newer one. Same thing. Looked at the root video - didn’t recognise the first one and the second was for a tablet, not for a phone. Does that matter? Kies is apparently installed on it - I’m not smart phone compliant apparently. And the android version is 4.1.2, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas of what needs to be done here?
Thanks!

-BabiteI may be able to help. But I need to know the steps you are using. I am guessing you have properly installed the server onto your desktop and the Apk to your Samsung. From this point, what are the steps you are using to activate this program. Just want to make sure you are not missing something.

Dracfalcon:
1. Fire up server on pc.
2. Find app on phone and attempt to open - most apps highlight and open, this one fails to respond.
3. Then the screen may go black after rotating.
4. Then it comes back grayed out and unwinds with the message “Unfortunately Falcon MFD has stopped.”
5. I touch OK.I assume I am indeed missing something. I wanted to test it to see if it would bring up anything, it did not. I can’t tell it my pc’s IP address, can’t send the message to test from the server application, I’ve set the falcon config file value to 1, but my S III doesn’t want to respond to the apk. I just spent a couple hours looking through the manual for the thing, I told it to allow not app store files to install. I’m not sure where my issue lies. I tried to look at the video for the root issue, that seems to be a kies software updater. I’m not very phone/tablet savy, new to that aspect of things. When I click the downloaded file it brings up the screen “complete action using” and gives me a choice of: 1. (android) Package Installer, or 2.g* Verify and Install. Along with always and just once buttons. I choose the package installer and just once, then install, then done. I open the app and … it fails to work.
It looks great from the video on p.1, I just can’t get it working yet. I’m open to ideas and instructions, as long as they don’t include, “…turn on device and toss into salt water. Then go buy another device,” or something like that. I’ve threatened it with a magnet too, but that did nothing.

Im no expert here… but do have it working pretty well on my 10" android tablet. My understanding is, that it must be installed on a 10" tablet… that’s what the interface is designed for. A galaxy S III phone… (which I also have) may not work as the screen is too small?

-BabiteSounds like you were never able to get to the point of entering the Server IP address in the “Apk”. It may be a S III issue. As Donw43 has mentioned, it was originally designed for an Android Tablet. To make expectant use of this application, you will definitely want at least a 10.1 Android Tablet. With holiday sales going on now, there are fairly cheap tablets on sale…if you have the funds. By the way, the video is out dated. You will be amazed how it looks and operates now.

Dracfalcon - You are correct as I can’t get that far. I see the steps to get there but just can’t open it on the device. Rats. It looks like fun - I’ll keep trying to get it to behave.

If I can find the time today. . I will attempt to load it on my S3, and come back to report definitely if its possible.
Edit… OK… I can confidently confirm… at least on my S3… the APP won’t open at all.
You’re going to need to pick up a 10" tablet bud… which you will certainly find very enjoyable. I grabbed one on Amazon… not that long ago for about $80.00. Just make sure it comes with any Android 4.X.X operating system -
One more thing… there is a Galaxy S3 app you might like… for the ICP and DED. . I used it for a while and it worked great https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?18771-Android-Falcon-ICP-DED&highlight=Android+icp
