Cannot connect Base 3 to Samsung android Cab3 app. Can anyone help?

CraftechOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Tried my new Base 3 with a Cab 1 remote that I bought and it worked well running four different locomotives.

Then I figured I would try the Cab3 app (which I have been using in BlueTooth mode previously).

I uninstalled it and installed the latest version from the Play Store. Then I made sure the Base 3 was in AP mode and turned it on. I was able to connect my Samsung tablet to the Lionel network.

Opened the Cab 3 app and clicked on the Base 3 tab. Here is what I got:

Then it said it failed to connect to the Base 3 and then crashed. Tried it multiple times and had the same result. It even issued a crash report.

Any ideas?

My tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T350). It doesn't do software updates anymore. Says the latest version is T350XXU1CQJ5/T350XAR1CQJ5? Android version is 7.1.1

The tablet is not connected to a track. It is by itself on a desk plugged into an outlet.

And my new MTH WTIU runs perfectly fine on this tablet.

Thanks,

John

I'm not totally familiar with the Android eco-system. I did some checking tho, and that software version is from October of 2017.

That may be a part of the issue you're having. Past that I don't have any suggestions since I'm in the Apple sandbox.

Anytime you are playing with a 7 year old OS and a new App, you run a pretty good chance of it failing. Similarly the MTH DCS app died last year with a new OS. No one has said it will be compatible forever. Do you have a phone you can try it with?

Yes. I'll try that tomorrow.
