Unfortunately I've now sold the Lenovo so cannot carry out any more tests to resolve the problem.

Just for interest the model I had was:

Lenovo Tab3 7, model number: TB3-730F 2GB + 16GB.

The mini iPad is working fine and I'm grateful to all who tried to help me with this problem.

I decided to leave the Lenovo on the ground when I flew yesterday and had no problems whatsoever using an iPad and a friends ASUS tablet. Both had no disconnection problems at all and PAW performed flawlessly.

I have now abandoned using the Lenovo.

Thanks to all who responded to my post.

UPDATE

Flew for 1 hour today. I had both the Lenovo and iPad connected to PAW. Lenovo using FLARM, iPad using Pilotaware. My iPhone was switched to Flight mode. Both tablets running SD.
On Climb out the Lenovo disconnected, (with accompanying screen message), and I only managed to reconnect it about 10 minutes later. Thereafter it worked fine and I had no 'connection lost' messages on the screen. The iPad appeared to work fine and displayed no connection messages on the screen throughout the flight. (or at least I didn't notice any!).
On examining the virtual radar log on both tablets there are however several times when connection was lost. I attach screen shots of both tablets. Any advice or help would be appreciated and as usual thanks for the assistance so far.

Hi and thanks for the quick response.

I carry an iPhone 6 in my jacket which presumably is connected to either 3G or 4G.

Will this affect PAW?

UPDATE

I've managed a couple of flights in recent days. On both occasions I've had both the Lenovo and the iPad connected to PAW. The Lenovo is connected using FLARM and the iPad connected using PILOTAWARE. On the first flight the Lenovo lost the connection between SD and PAW but reconnected within a minute or so. The iPad kept the connection for the whole flight.
On the second flight I noticed no loss of connection on either machine but on examining the log of this flight on both machines I notice what appears to be a loss of connection but at different times. I'm assuming that the red dots on the time line signify a loss of connection. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I've attached two screenshots to show this.
Do you think that the problem is now resolved?

Thanks and best wishes for the New Year.

I still haven't had the chance to fly with the settings I've made but will report when I do.

I don't understand much of the recent posts but hopefully that makes no difference as long as it works!

Thanks once again for all the help.

I could only work in the hangar this morning but after changing to Flarm as a connection on SD, PAW on the Lenovo ran without once showing the 'Waiting for Device' message. I had it switched on for about 30 minutes. Hopefully this has now solved the problem. but will give it a full test when I next fly.

I also changed the configuration to Mode C S + Filter (Beta) as you advised.

Thank you very much for your help.

Thanks for your help. I will change the settings re the Transponder and check if using Flarm gets rid of the Waiting for device message.

Traffic is shown on all devices and I was seeing traffic on both the iPad and Lenovo whilst flying yesterday. When the Waiting for device message appears I lose both 'my aircraft' and traffic on the Lenovo but they quickly reappear when connection is restored. The iPad works flawlessly which does seem to suggest that the problem is with the Lenovo.

Thanks once again.

Thanks for the quick response.

iPad and Lenovo (Android V 6.0) are running off the same system and both getting good WiFi connection to PAW.

I’m on the latest software for PAW and connecting through SD using ‘PilotAware’ and ‘Live Data when Planning’.

I flew this morning and had the Lenovo and iPad connected. The iPad ran perfectly but the Lenovo kept showing ‘Waiting for Device’ every few seconds. I could not get a screen shot of this message in that it only appears on the screen for a second or two.

After I had landed I got another message on the Lenovo only. I’ve attached a screen shot of this and named it as ‘disposed’.

The rest of the screen shots were taken before take off and hopefully will provide all the information necessary.

Thanks for your help.

New to PAW and having trouble with connection to Lenovo Tab3 7 and Sky Demon.

PAW works perfectly with my iPad and a friend’s Nexus tablet but on the Lenovo I get the message “Waiting for Device” every few seconds.

PAW is mounted just under the dash of my SkyRanger and I have used all the connections as recommended by PAW. i.e. Anker USB plug, original power lead and external GPS dongle from PAW shop.

I have also connected PAW to my Trig transponder using the correct lead and I have my position shown on the transponder.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Searching through the forum I have found suggestions re altering the WiFi power output, the Wifi Mode, (B/G), and also selecting a Static address.

Before changing any of these could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.
