Frequency and impact

  • Note 20 5G: problems less frequent → generally usable.

Note on Wi-Fi

With a Wi-Fi connection, scanning works properly on both devices; the problems concern only the USB connection under the conditions described above.

Hi @Ecoscan

The proper USB connection is not available yet for Inspire 2 Android phones or tablets in the latest mobile app version .

I am sorry for all the work you did testing … was not nesesery…

No worries :blush: I thought it had been fixed for INSPIRE 2, especially because the Play Store release notes say “Adds INSPIRE 2 as a supported device.”

Thanks for the heads-up — I’ll stick to Wi-Fi for now and wait for proper USB support on Android.
Do you know if this is planned to be fixed, and roughly when?

No problem , the support device is only via WiFi for now .

Sorry but at this moment I don’t have any info about when the USB connection will be resolved and added to the app.

Try and play with Revo Mirror in main time and test it out ! I would love to see your thread with your opinion about it .

Thanks again for the information. Revo Mirror mirrors the PC screen on a smartphone, very useful for certain scans. I’ll definitely start a thread about it :+1:
