I just ordered a hotwire 2.0. Hoping I can use my kids nexus 7 soonish for updating the esc. Since I am slowly converting to tekin esc's

I think I have it figured out now. The current BETA version of the app wont work on 4.2+. When the app is updated, everything should be sorted out.

I'd also suggest you follow one of our many social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, Google + etc as the updates are posted there as well.
Thanks, looking forward to the app update. I got my 2.0 HW yesterday and just for giggles I tried it on my tablet without joy. Sounds like this will be all fixed up soon. :D

Anything with 4.2.2 is not going to work until the next release of Hotwire software. (We hope)

Yea, I kind of wish Tekin would have been a little more clear on that. Had I known that I wouldn't have spent $35 on a new hotwire that says android on it and updated my S3 to 4.2. So the update may not fix that?

Wildcat1971 02-21-2014 08:42 PM
So it has to be 4.2 exactly

Tradin Paint 02-21-2014 08:55 PM
4.2 or earlier

Randy posted on tekin forum that it was working on his GS4 with 4.3. That is with the new update coming out.

The next app update should allow for 4.2+ AOS to work as well as offer Gen1 esc support using both the Hotwire 1.0 and 2.0 versions.

The 2.0 has some added hardware inside that allows you to not NEED a OTG cable, rather it will allow for standard cable adapters to work as well.

So if you have for example a gender changer for your phone to a standard USB 2.0 female, it will work on the 2.0 Hotwire but not the 1.0.
So if I buy a 2.0 hotwire, can I use it with my Android 4.0.4 on my HTC that does not support OTG if I have the battery plugged into the ESC? I tried my HW 1.0 with an OTG cable with the battery plugged in and it doesn't power up the HW (using my RSX). Is that what was changed about the 2.0 HW? Sorry just a little confused, really want to make this work since I have a RS Gen 2, RX8 Gen 2 and an RSX in my fleet.

What about the galaxy S4 4.4 Android?

NO, the update to the app will fix it.

I've been testing on my S4 running 4.3 stock and 4.4 rooted(Cyanogen) and both work fine.

If your phone doesn't support OTG you're likely not going to get the app to work at all.

Have you tried keyboard or USB drive?

We keep hearing all the great things with the next app update. When will this be available?
