How To Connect SkySafari 6 Pro + SynScan Pro App On Android 9 + EQStar Drive? (Needs Help)

Hi to everyone.

I'm experiencing some troubles when using my EQStar drive with Skysafari 5 Pro or even Skysafari 6 Plus, by using the Synscan Pro 1.17 APP in order to connect to them, but just when using my new Android 9.1 Cell Phone. Having the message: "Can connect to wifi but the telescope is not responding"...

When using my Android 5 tablet I can connect to Skysafari 5 Pro through the Synscan Pro 1.17 APP with no issues.

IP for Synscan Pro APP when connected is: 192.168.4.1

Skysafari configuration must be (as indicated by the EQStar maker, and working testes on Android 5): Use WIFI, IP:127.0.0.1, Port: 11882 (Works on Android 5, not working on Android 9.1)

Is there anybody having the same issue when trying to use that combination in a 9.1 Android Cell Phone? Any idea on how to solve it?

 

Thank you in advance and kind regards.

  Did you ever resolve this issue on Android 9?

  Hi Keiron.

  Unfortunatelu, I was not able to find a solution, totally imposible, no matter what I did, so I can not recommend the use of this device with new devices under Android 9, and probably beyond.

  I have the same problem with my cell phone (doesn't work) versus my tablet (works). I don't see any support here.
