With the newest Mod firmware I was confused at first also. When you hook the controller up to your phone, it will act like it connects but still displays the default settings. Click the middle of your settings wheel and it should then load the current speed control settings.

If I got the HMX, I would get as cheap an android phone as i could find and only for the sole purpose of setting up the HMX.

Question: Is there any sort of minimally spec'd phone I would need to get to run the app or can any android phone handle the task?

I don't think brand would matter, it's more than likely down to the android version on your phone. You may need to manually install a newer version if the carrier didn't offer the update

I really am not sure as I usually just stick with whichever updates my carrier pushes out. You might want to check out an Android forum on how to do it unless someone else here can chime in. On the Google Play store the app for the HMX10 states it requires Android 3.1 or later. So you might first want to see which version is on your phone.

This is from the manual.

Does the Phoenix have On-The-Go capability? The manual says it needs it.

I think not compatible this LG phoenix phone. My friend had HUAWEI phone and HMX APPS it works. I'm gonna return LG phoenix and get different brand devices.

Not all android phones work. I originally bought a cheap "Blu" phone from Best Buy. It was not compatible with the software. I was unable to get an answer from Orion/HMX as to why, but my best guess is because of the chipset on some of the cheaper phones. Most phones sold in stores use a Snapdragon chipset. The lower end phones will use something else just to keep cost down. I ended up finding a $5.00 Samsung S3. It even fit in the HMX carry case.
With all the above being said, I see the LG that you purchased has a SnapDragon. I am at a loss in your case.

It may be the cheaper phones don't support OTG . Otherwise any android "should" work if it is v3.1 or later according to the app. It is a pretty simple app.

Qualcomm offers several different tiers of Snapdragon processors, ranging from extremely low-end phones to top-of-the-line flagship phones. As far as I am aware, pretty much all chips from Qualcomm and Mediatek will support USB OTG at a hardware level. It is more likely that the phone manufacturers are not including the USB OTG drivers in the OS. A lot of these cheap phones have locked bootloaders and very little community dev support, leaving you unable to flash a custom OS that may have USB OTG support enabled. The only way to be sure is to check if USB OTG support is listed in the features.
