<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Kevin,<br><br>I have a Huawei S7 Android tablet. I rooted it and loaded a 2.2 ROM, so I have some more Bluetooth function. Just last night I discovered that APRSDroid had a new version that included Bluetooth TNC serial link capability and tried it out. I have a Roving networks BT serial adapter plugged onto the back of a spare TNC-X. Worked great on my HTC Incredible phone, but had a serious crash everytime I tried to stop tracking and get out of the app. I actually had to pull my battery to get it going again. Happened over and over.<br><br>Tonight I want to try the tablet. I forgot it at work or else I would have loaded it up last night. Hoping that the crash is centralized to my phone and not the tablet as well.<br><br>Jason Rausch - KE4NYV<br>RPC Electronics, LLC<br>www.rpc-electronics.com<br><br><br>--- On

Mapping, messaging, on screen keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard. Heck the camera's low res is optimized for the small size picutre messages that were discussed recently.</pre><pre><br></pre><pre>Kevin</pre><pre>KB3PLX</pre><pre><br></pre></div> </div>
