Still no ADSB signal on IFLY unless I close IFLY and reopen.

Sent a couple logs, but haven't had a response on whether they were helpful.

Sometimes it works when I fire up my Samsung Tablet and I can tell by ADSB status I get the one green bar and know it is working.

Then yesterday mid fligh I saw an aircraft go by fairly close and looked at my screen and so no target. I noticed that green single bar in the ADSB status was missing. So I rebooted IFLY and got targets.

Brian;

I did send two logs. The 1st is when it would not read targets. The 2nd is after I went in out and back into IFLY.

I looked at what else my tablet may be looking at and the only thing was Google.

I have no other units on my aircraft that would steal the WiFi.

Maybe the log I sent will help.

Looking back in last 10 days for Bug Report from you, but not finding it. It's possible that your email program just hasn't flushed your outbox, and so your outgoing bug reports might be stuck in your outbox. Can you check this? As of now, I don't see that they were sent.

Have you had that problem with any other device? I've had a few ADS-B problems, myself, but only on one device at a time--they were device-specific, in other words--and (as I recall) none of them has turned out to be caused by iFly. That's iOS, Windows, and a 740. No experience with Android.

Today I will fire up both the phone and the tablet and see if both have an issue. I am starting to suspect the tablet since I am not seeing many others with this issue.

EDIT: It just occured to me that my tablet has no Internet connection unless I run it through my phone's hotspot. So it couldn't have sent an email with the log. DAH!

I'll correct this.
