I am having a similar problem to this post, but coming from an Android phone and curious if anyone might have any suggestions.

I purchased all of the originally suggested SD card and RP unit (3B). I downloaded the most up to date image and flashed it using disk imager. I plugged in the OBDII, plugged the ethernet into the RP, and plugged the RP into the USB. On my Pixel XL Android phone, I set up the wi-fi hotspot as "bootmod3" with password "bootmod3". I fired up the RP with everything connected and can confirm that the RP unit logs into the hotspot on the phone. I can also confirm that there is network activity from the OBDII to the RP as the network lights register activity when I plug it into the RP.

The problem is that when I open the Bootmod3 app on the Android phone, it does not connect to the OBD Agent. It seems like all of the other pieces of the puzzl are connected to each other so I am stuck on what it might be. Any advice would be appreciated.

Follow startup sequence:

App login
Just wanted to follow up here with a resolution. I had read elsewhere that using the windows partition tool to delete the volume on the sdcard and then format worked better. I opened up the windows partition tool, deleted all the drives, formatted the drive, and then re imaged the drive.

after following these steps, it worked!

I just picked up the BM3 OBD agent device wifi and for the love of god can't get this damn thing to work with the iphone X ios 11.4

i followed all these troubleshooting guides
https://bootmod3.atlassian.net/wiki/...roubleshooting

even ran the firmware updates
https://bootmod3.atlassian.net/wiki/...irmware+Update
when comparing files/dates to the firmware on their website. i had the same files

i renamed my iphone to bootmod3 and also changed the hotspot password to
bootmod3 and when i launch the BM3 app. i still get obd agent not detected.


any help would appreciated it.
I had issues the first time trying to get mine to connect with the iPhoneX. One thing to make sure is that you are disconnected from your Home wifi,etc, but leave the wifi on. Also make sure "bootmod3" is lower case for both the PW and username. Those were some of the mistakes I made, and then I finally got it to work.
