Made a post in the technical area but no replies just wondering if anyone has this app working in 4.34 if so request some guidance…

Just saw your other post. I was checking to see if you ran as admin… not quite sure… the dev hasn’t been accommodating in the recent past with his app…Yes, ran as admin and gave it Firewall rights (actually set it up to run as Admin every time but after if failed reinstalled and just ran as Admin first time, same results). It seems fine in the computer (Server) end, sees BMS and initializes. On the Android it just sits and does not connect to BMS. As there are no settings I can see in the app it’s not like I can check anything and the “Manual” troubleshooting is useless… I think it may be the new Android Q OS as its in pre-release but the fact is it’s going live very soon (September 3!) and most new Android phones will be running it, so he needs to figure this out.
EDIT 8-28-19 : I have an older Nexus 5X spare phone running Android 8.1.0 so I fired it up and downloaded ICP Pro from the Google Store. Started ICP Server, BMS 4.34, and then ICP Pro on the Nexus. It instantly connected and works perfectly, 0 lag, so my assumption is the Android ver. 10 OS (Q beta is over for me apparently!) on my Pixel3 XL is blocking it somehow. Sent iHopi an email, until he responds I would say DO NOT UPDATE ANY ANDROID DEVICE TO ANDROID 10 you intend to use with this app…

Follow up and FYI, I just purchased an Android TECLAST P80X 8" Tablet for under $100 on Amazon, which is also a full use phone and video call camera (Google Duo came installed), running Android 9.0. Default is upright mode, works flawlessly with BMS ICP Pro…
-
I’m in the market for a tablet both a gift for my wife (books, Netflix etc.) and for BMS, generally speaking all things considered, price etc. which would be more ideal 8" or the 10.1" TAB A or TAB E for that matter, thanks.
-
As stated above. Problems have been arising with some and Android 10. It’s gonna be a crap shoot with a new tablet. My old Tab E is running it fine I’m with 7. Good luck, it’s a really good app and well worth the money.
-
I have it working. I use an iPad and find if I reboot it before using icp ded pro it works but it is a little flaky.
-
Find out the OS of the tablet, I would not buy one running anything newer than 9.0 if you want a good chance of it working, and even so my 9.0 Android tablet stopped working lately. Maybe I’ll try a reboot, as it used to work great and with my Twin MFD lilliputs it was nice to have the OCP right there…

Just purchased, now need that perfect tablet
Runs fine on my Moto G7 Power w/9 albeit with popup regarding older OS design.

Rebooted and same issue, Tablet displays current BMS data but button presses on the tablet (animations and sounds work) do nothing in the sim.

Have you tried to set
g_bEnableExclusiveMouseCapture 0
in your flcon bms.cfg file to allow clicks outside of BMs window -
Have you tried to set

in your flcon bms.cfg file to allow clicks outside of BMs windowI did not check it but will, thank you. Thing is it did work before, and works one-way now, I’m also looking at a network/firewall issue that may have popped up after I moved…

As I’m using another app for ICP so I’m not sure how ICP DED PRO is working. But I assume it still a Client-Server tool with the Server part having some kind of key callback receiver. In Addition don’t know if that part adresses the BMS process or just the active window for sending the keystroke. If it’s the second option one might have just a Texteditor open to test if the Server part is sendig keystrokes at all

Icer did you manage to fix the issue? I’m having the same exact problem! (already change the g_bEnableExclusiveMouseCapture 0 and nothing changed)
Thanks! -
Sorry, nothing I tried works, I get no input back to BMS from button presses.

in your flcon bms.cfg file to allow clicks outside of BMs windowSorry mate , that’s not gonna work in Icer’s case. - It is used only when you use multiple screens and one or more are touchscreens, so when you press on another screen (touch) - then virtual “mouse” is not locked only on the BMS screen … understand? … as touches are behaving like virtual mouse
For Icer’s problem, your other post is more likely - server <> client configuration is the correct approach , PC (BMS) being a server and , tablet being a client
So, it could be what you’ve suggested , that keypresses aren’t produced (or another type of problem) on the SERVER machine , … or they are not SENT from the client (tablet) at all
-firewall is a good approach , one thing to check , … but since (probably) , the tablet and the PC are on the same LAN … who knows
-so, animations work , so we know that PC sends data OK , client receives , but the other way doesn’t work , - maybe check INCOMING connections to the PORT for the MFD Server application , if firewall is application layered and not only by ADDR:PORT - again we are on LAN , so less restrictions as for INCOMING data then FROM the internet (wan)-I’m using also another android app, “Falcon MFD (Server)” from that Turkish buddy , sorry forgot the name , but the APP is still here on forum… It works on my Huawei T5 (Android 8 )
- in server app on PC , there you need to configure your keyboard layout (keyfile) first , as then server knows what keys are going to be produced on certain touches from the client (tablet) …
So that’s another thing to check …
@Icer , try first to debug network , … using windows firewall ?? … , fine then just ALLOW server INCOMING connections for the Server APP ,
then we’ll seeCheers

Well, after double checking everything, adding a Firewall pass-through to “Public” (Domain and Private were already tic’d) just to cover all bases, Then going online to re-read the manual here, then double checking my BMS Full (Alt Launcher) keyfile to be sure the bindings were correct (ICP Pro requirements are attached, and my keyfile was perfect), I fired it up again. Stated BMS 4.34 U2, started the ICP Pro Server, connected instantly and showed on the Tablet. All buttons function perfectly with instantaneous response time. I’m not sure what did it at this point, but just glad it works!
The only other change I made to the Router recently was to open up the Falcon TCP/UDP multiplayer ports, but I see nothing in the ICP Pro documentation about port assignments…

Congrats on getting the app going again. The only thing I would add is the quote from the Tootsie Roll Owl, “ the world may never know”
