I tried to make adjustments to a new Gen3 RX8 and the hot wire app will only will go to demo mode. I then connected it to my desktop pc and it recognized the ESC and allowed me to make changes as expected. I then tried connecting to a few of my Gen2 ESC's to make sure I didn't have an issue with my phone or the hotwire 1 and they all still connected and functioned without issue.
Is the hotwire 1 no longer compatible with the Gen 3 ESC's via android? and any ball park timeline on the hotwire 3 release?
The Hotwire 1.0 and the RX8 Gen3 are compatible. You may have to go to the Google Play store and get the newest app. This should fix the programming issues you are describing.
