I recently purchased a new iPhone XS to replace my old company provided iPhone 6. I was able to transfer the premium version of the MTH Wi-Fi app from the old phone to the new and began running trains from the new phone; or at least I am TRYING to.
For some reason; the app seems to either disconnect from the Wi-Fi unit at times or "buttons" on the face of my phone will simply fail to respond. For example; I'll press the horn button and nothing will happen for as much as 30 seconds then the horn will finally sound. From the soft key screen on the app; I'll press forward signal and the same kind of delay will occur. Occasionally; when first starting out; an engine will move along at a glacial speed despite me having it dialed up to say 27 scale MPH. It will run like this for almost a complete circuit of my layout before finally ramping up to the speed I've set on my phone.
I've perused some of the earlier threads concerning issues with iPhone 7's and have tried some of the tips mentioned in those threads such as hitting the little reset icon in the upper left portion of the "home" screen; turning off the "auto-join" function; as well as countless app resets and even completely removing the app from my phone and then downloading again from the Cloud. I've disconnected from the DCS Wi-Fi and reconnected. I even decided to bite the bullet and purchase and download a second version of the premium app straight to my new XS. Regardless what I do; the app will function properly for about 10 minutes or so and then the nonsense starts again.
I still have my company provided iPhone 6 and, when the issues start, I have traded off between the new XS and the old 6 just to see if it might be the Wi-Fi unit or the TIU and in every instance; the app works perfectly from the old iPhone 6. I have about concluded there must be some sort of glitch to the software in the premium Wi-Fi version I'm running that doesn't "like" the communication its receiving from the iPhone XS. And I'll add beyond the issues with MTH DCS Wi-Fi; the new iPhone XS works perfectly for everything else I'm using it for so; I don't believe there is anything wrong with the phone itself.
To say I'm finding this frustrating would be understatement and it has pretty much ruined the enjoyment I had been experiencing running trains using the Wi-Fi app. So; do any of you DCS Wi-Fi or software experts have any suggestions how to address this?
Thanks in advance!
Curt
