I have got a really back to basics lame question here. I just bought a new Tekin Gen 2 8.5t combo (from my local shop, TRCR). I haven't opened it, won't until after the 25th. Can someone tell me exactly what I need to get it working through my Droid device?

1. App
2. Hotwire device?
3. Special cables?

I guess I wasn't sure with the app if that nulled out the need for the Hotwire box, if the Hotwire box came with all of the cables, etc. I have spent enough the past month, I don't want to buying anything more than I need at this point.

Thanks!

The app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...eamtekin&hl=en

The HotWire you'll need to purchase from your LHS or an online retailer, usually about $40 or so.

The OTG cable is device-specific. Which Android device will you be using?

Thanks for the reply Ty! I am going to be using either a Samsung tablet, or possibly a Motorola Atrix if I can, I will try both.

Thanks again, I will grab the Hotwire device from TRCR!

Duplicate post, please ignore. Apologies.

Just verify those devices support OTG. Some don't.

Also make sure the OS is 4.1.2 or lower.

Surprisingly the Samsung Tab 3 7.0 doesn't support OTG. The Tab 3 8.0 does, but there's no Android version lower then 4.2.2 available for it.

I'm picking up a Lenova A1000 tonight for about $100. Seems like it should do the job.

Yeah it's odd that Google stripped some OTG stuff out.

For example I have 2 Samsung Tab 2.0's. One 7" and one 10" both came with 4.0.4 when new. Both received the 4.1.2 update, app still worked fine. As soon as I updated either of them to 4.2.2 the app won't work properly.

I've tried rooting, different rom's,etc. Clearly it's an issue on the AOS. So we're working along with other developers for solutions.

What is an "OTG" cable?

On The Go. Necessary to use an android with hotwire.

OTG cable
 

found mine on Amazon ranging from a $1-$10
I have a a Samsung s4 phone

just type your make of phone or tablet

This is exactly what I've been waiting for, but does it really not work with the RX8 gen1?

no gen 1 at the moment

Got confusing about gen1 yes or no but Tekin Prez said yes on page 5.

Happy about that, got two rides on gen1 and two on gen2.

Yes they will support gen1 in the future.

Great news!
