I've not got an iPhone, but using an android phone hotspot works fine until I have a phone call, which kills the data connection. After a minute of call, RTK does a runner and the line moves by a metre or three!
Can’t you buy a data only sim for an old phone and don’t tell anybody the number, using it only as a hotspot for AOG?

This sounds odd, are you from the UK, which service are you using?

This cannot be an Android issue, must be something else. Parallel voice calls and data connectivity has been "built in from the start" for 3G networks and up. Even 2G networks have Dual Transfer Mode but not all phones and not all networks support it.

Sounds like your network redirects your phone to 2G for voice calls. Or perhaps 4G with no VoLTE on the phone? Voice over LTE can also be switched off from Android settings, check.

Same thing happens to me, Pixel 7 on Vodafone, it works perfectly, but if making a phone call sometimes it drops the data, can only think its switching from a patchy 4G connection to a 2G connection.
End phone call and RTK is back.

Hi all, I’m still in the process of getting my system running smoothly but todays goal was to get a new tablet that I’ve bought working with the system instead of an old laptop I was using. when I plugged the PCB into the tablet it didn’t seem to be communicating with the PCB. I remember having to change to internet settings on the laptop and I tried to do this on the tablet but when I try to save the setting it says there a problem (picture bellow)

I was just wondering if any one else had got a system running on windows 11 or if anyone can help with my problem?

sorry for the long message and thank you in advance !

I think my problem is that I can’t change my IP settings on my tablet. It won’t let me save the new IPv4 settings. I don’t know if this is a problem with windows 11 because I did it fine on the laptop which is windows 10.


These are the settings I’ve got but you can see the message at the bottom saying I can’t save it.

EE on a Samsung Galaxy, voice over LTE turned on, lots of signal showing and can see a mast line of sight most of the time. In Yorkshire so the signal will be well 'ard!

Searching the interweb now, lots of people complain of it as a problem on EE, I just assumed it was the way of things, so use a separate little wifi router to save any problems.

I’ve got the same problem with my hotspot as well, I’m using an iPhone 11 with a Tesco sim and it cuts out when I’m on a call and it struggles to connect in the first place. Half the time I’m sat there and it won’t connect to the tablet.

Subnet mask wrong format. Use 255.255.255.0

Leave DNS and default gateway blank. Watch the video, ncpa.cpl is a more useful way to do it than that screen.

@andyinv i'm going through

AgOpenGPS 6 - configuration and first run​

and i cannot get the teensy to flash with the MF CANBUS and function after. I can flash it with the V 4.X and it works. I've got steer ready masseys so it's a little bit of a roadblock to progress. Am I missing something?
