HermanTheGerman Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hi All, when I try to upgrade from 1.20 to 1.21 on my KS16, the following happens: .) I enter the firmware upgrade page in the app, there I see the 1.21 upgrade is available, .) then I press the download button, and absolutely nothing happens. I tried it several times in the last 8 hours, both with app versions 1.2 and 1.4, always the same. It looks like as the firmware can't just be downloaded. Is the Kingsong server overloaded, or is that another problem ? Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as it did not work, I downgraded the app to 1.2, but also there it did not work (Android 6 on a Samsung S5). It looks like as if the FW-download to the phone just does not start (this is for a KS16). Is there a way to contact and ask Kingsong support directly ?

lepovirta Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I had the same issue with the KS16 and the app v1.4 on an Android 6 phone. The solution was to find "App permissions" and to grant the Storage permission for the kingsong application. After that the upgrading succeeded.

I didn't know that it is necessary to enable Kingsong App for that under Android 6 (although one needs to also enable it for GPS, otherwise not even the bluetooth connection comes up. Sounds weird, but is real). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepovirta Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Happy to be of help, @HermanTheGerman! There's actually a reason for an application being required a permission for location before it is allowed to use Bluetooth. It has little to do with GPS. If someone had a large database of coordinates of Bluetooth devices, you could be pinpointed on a map by letting the phone scan for nearby devices and comparing them with the database. By allowing the app to use Bluetooth, you'll potentially let it know your location as well. As a side note, there is a method in Android for asking for all these permissions from the user runtime instead of forcing her to explicitly guess and enable them through the settings menu. Perhaps KingSong developers will add it to their next releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
