Now I have to buy an Apple phone. Not! Apple seems good, but only for people that need that many features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I still prefer my iPhone because it works so well. My Android phone keyboard still doesn't seem as easy to use and is not as accurate. If you want to try an iPhone there are many 6S ones out there at a reasonable cost.

Tom D Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 All - Many thanks for the assist and advice. Made a quick trip to Wally-World and picked up an Android Tracfone. Used Marty's older app from DropBox and now have an unlocked wheel...AND can use WheelLog. Hell, there's still enough daylight here to get an hour or two of riding in. Thanks again. T.

You gotta check out wheellog Is wheellog a substitute for the King Song app or a complement? I presume you can only unlock speeds in the King Song app, but that wheellog is better for just about everything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to first open the KS app and leave it running in the background to run wheellog . No it can not unlock the speed but offers a lot of cool metrics and a nice graph of speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KS app absolutely does not need to be running to use WheelLog. I guarantee you that the KS App could be uninstalled and WheelLog would function perfectly.

Kael Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Maybe just emulate an Android environment for the first run of the app on your computer, then you can safely ignore it and use a third party app on iPhone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odd...my wheellog app won’t connect unless I open KS app first . It baffled me in fr beginning ...wheellog wouldn’t connect . Then I opened the KS app for some reason .. and while it was running opened wheellog. It immediately connected . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if i remember right, but that was imho a prob of the old (playstore) version. This was imho repaired by @palachzzz and linked here in the forum?

Jason McNeil Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Some good news [finally] to share, first from King Song: "Hi Jason, for Android APP, pls ask you customers to do an upgrade, then he will be able to set the speed. For IOS APP, we have submited to APPLE APP system yesterday, as soon as get approve, will be available to download." DarknessBot will soon also support KS Alarm/Speed settings I've also be in contact with Illya, the brains behind Darknessbot, about sponsoring enhanced support for setting alarms & tilt-back speed on the KS Wheels. There should be more news about this follow in the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee you that the KS App could be uninstalled and WheelLog would function perfectly. i haven’t tried wheellog without the ks app but my experience has been similar to Scott. my 16s connects differently from my 18s, so i’m guessing it depends on the wheel. yup, just tried it without the ks app installed on an android phone. i can connect to the wheel thru wheellog but no data. i suspect the ks app supplies the data. and i ordered a ZTE ZFIVE 2 LTE android from walmart for $20 to be my kingsong phone. i don’t want their app on my two real phones. i’d buy a pebble watch too but there’s so many choices i get frustrated. update, after ferreting thru this forum found the wheellog version that does work without the ks app. this is ver 2.0.1: https://yadi.sk/d/RGPFjra83MmPiZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked and I was able to adjust the setting as in the picture. BUT, when I go back to my iPhone and load up the app, it's still locked!! will it automatically unlock once I do 100km...?

Are you sure, that you also touched the "confirm" button and it beeped afterwards ? In that case do not enter the iphone app after that, just try the wheel, it will work.
