Hi and thank you for your great app!

My configuration is:
1. OBDLink MX Bluetooth FW 4.2.3
2. XGPS160 connected directly (External GPS Settings of Torque). Not any GPS Mock provider used.
3. Android (6.0) Tablet MediaPad M3
-Torque Pro as Receiver and Recorder/Logger working in background
-Torque Repeater plugin (see 4)
4. Android (5.1.1) Sony Experia Z1c as Torque Live Dashboard
5. Foreground: Navigation software as: Here, IGO and etc. using internal GPS receiver

As a result I achieve:
1. Foreground: Navigation software with internal (1Hz) GPS receiver
2. Background: Torque pro using 10Hz external GPS receiver, logging all OBD2 data and repeating OBD2 data to external/another smartphone for live dashboard data

This complicated configuration works fine with some exception: sometimes one of bluetooth devices disconnects: OBDLink MX or XGPS160:
– In case of OBDLink the recconection is up in several seconds. I can see the lost of connection in the CSV file. Also in car I can hear the disconnect/connect sound.
– In case of XGPS160 i can see that in CSV file XGPS160 sending the same data/position forever up to its restart. Actually i cant see disconnect message. Also cant confirm the status of the “Sattelite” light in Torque Pro. I tried to reproduce the issue in the home (without OBDLink part) for up to 4 hours but without success (reproduction). Also, last year in far simple configuration (without external smartphone as dashboard) there were no XGPS160 disconnects. Also never have any issues with another app and XGPS160 in simple (one bluetooth channel) configurations. I think this is a case where (3 and more) bluetooth channels mismatch/disconnects and should be recconected but the bluetooth stack does not care about this. Torque Pro recconects to disconnected OBDLink MX, but may be not with disconnected XGPS160? That is my first question.

My second question:
I can see on the MapView plugin that the records are in the time resolution of the XGPS160 – up to 10Hz, but the CSV file exports data in resolution of ordinary about 1Hz. Could be data in CSV file be as same as internal data, in time resolution of up to 10Hz?

Also, I could enable GPS Mock provider for external XGPS160 receiver and use it as ordinary Android GPS provider. In this case External GPS Settings of Torque should not be used. Bluetooth GPS provider App have functionality to recconect failed connection with XGPS160 and this should resolve my problem, but I would preffer to not complicate additionally the configuration with additional App and Mock settings. So, it is again my first question: Is Torque connection to External GPS could be monitored and reconnected if dropped?

As general disconnections in the car happens one (OBDLink-MX or XGPS160) in several (about 3) hours. Also, strange or not, (when Torque Receiver sometimes disconnects OBDLink-MX) never hear the same disconnection message from Torque Live Dashboard smartphone.

Update 1:
Last day (21.03.2017) OBDLink removed the latest FW 4.2.3 as buggy with problem with random disconnects. Thats could/should be a OBDLink-MX disconnection reason. Will downgrade and try again.

Update 4:
After another 3k km testing:
* No disconnects with OBDLink-MX (BT) FW 4.3.0
* single (one) disconnect of XGPS160 during the running part of the trip, not recconnected. I stll asking if during the active trip it is a reconnection feature with ext.GPS module?
* single (one) disconnect of phone used as Torgue dashboard during the active trip. Also not reconnected, so same question here.
* found myself where is the location of the 10hz records – in service dirs of the app with warning “please dont touch here”

Update 5:
Just received latest update of app – 1.8.158
Will test it next few months.
