My Bionic shows 4.1.2 so I'm guessing that's 4.1?

that should be ok....

I've been checking the play store twice a day for about two weeks now.

In general go to "settings" then "about device/phone" it will list the AOS version.

4.1.1 and 4.1.2 will work.

That's where I went.
Ordered $1.60 OTG to the door.
Looking forward to the notebooks retirement

Link?

Looks like this should work, don't hold me to it... but for $1.60 if its wrong I don't care
Bought from ebestmart but there are other sellers with it

Do you have to plug a battery into the esc, or does the hotwire get power from the controlling device?

As long as your device can supply enough power, no battery is needed.

Some older devices don't supply enough power. If you have one of these you can use the car battery to supply the power,etc.

Nope no battery needs to be plugged in. Simply plug your esc in via Hotwire and tune away.

My galaxy s3 is 4.3...... so no luck in using the app. is there a way to roll back to a previous version of android? Most android stuff being released wont work with the app because they are beyond 4.1.

?

This is sort of funny to ask after my previous message earlier, I knew that v4.3 (my current tablet) would not work. I ran out and just baught a Samsung tab 3 7" with v4.1.2. The hotwire is not powering up. I saw the connectivity issue covered on the tekin website after the fact..... here it comes... will the fix come out in the next couple of weeks? Or should I return this tablet and get another?

So I take it that the app is merely looking at the version number before disabling the functionality? Running 4.4 on Nexus 5 and no go. I believe should be able to do OTG, but will have to look into more that is if app isn't just looking at OS version.

Yes, you can roll back an S3 to 4.1.2.

Google can help here. Whether you're rooted or not, etc. There are many choices. Stock roms, etc.

I rolled back my tablet in about 10 minutes once I had the files.
