Bluetooth connection and functionality is random

[JC13ZR1]

I have a new escort Max 360 and a Samsung S8 Plus. Connecting to Bluetooth and Escort Live seems to work normally however it usually only just shows the Bluetooth symbol in the left box on the radar detector. Sometimes it shows the posted speed and that seems to be what I should expect when I am connected and have the live app running. But I can't figure out how to make it do that every time. Does anybody know the right way to make sure when Bluetooth is connected and the live app is running how to make the posted speed show in the left box and actually be connected?

I had this problem with my S5 and IX. What I would do was close the app, reboot the detector and reopen the app. I found it happening more so when I would go back and forth between my redline and smartcord and my IX. If I used the IX and didn't connect to the redline then I usually didn't have the problem. Sometimes I did but it was much less than when going back and forth between the different detectors. I also found that when the new EL came out, it also became less of an issue with the occasional BT icon showing up.

There are known bluetooth connection issues with Escort Live and Android 8 (most probably what your Galaxy S8 Plus is using). We have an app update coming soon which should solve these bluetooth connection issues.

Thanks to both. I am running android 8.0.0. I have found that if I go to app settings and force-stop the app and do a clean start it works. It also works randomly on its own sometimes. I look forward to the update. Is there a way I can be notified?

Google Play will notify you when the update is released. It may also auto-update the app depending on its settings.
