How to solve the connection failure when I run both Synscan pro of az-gti and Skysafari 6 pro on a same android cellphone

When I run SynScan pro of az-gti and Skysafari 6 pro each on separate device, it works fine.

But when I run them on a same device (android phone, samsung s22 ultra or S8), 
I could not connect Skysafari 6 pro after running SynScan first, even I followed the suggested procedure of az-gti Synscan manual such as;
In telescope setup menu of Skysafari, I've selected
Equipement Selection
- telescope: SkyWatcher SynScan
- mount: Equatorial GoTo(German)
Communication Setting
- Connect through Wifi
  IP: 127.0.0.1
  Port: 11882
- connect through Wifi

But after pushing the connect button, I always get a same error message like "bla bla.. connection failure.. bla bla"

Based on the manual, I can not find anything wrong.
Please advise me what I have to do to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance,
james

    I have the same issue on my Samsung A52 using Skysafari 7 pro.
    Sometimes SF7 is able to connect using 127.0.0.1 and after a while loose the connection.
    Or unable to connect from the begining
    My smartphone is the acces point for the wifi network

    I've been through the post a few times. Skysafari simply doesn't see my SynScan Mount or my AsiAir Plus for that matter. I've even got the AsiAir plugged into ethernet and accessible on my home network, via a fixed IP. I can connect to it from my PC, Tablet and Phone using this IP. SkySafari doesn't see it. I've performed a similar exercise with the SynScan mount, by enabling station mode and again, giving it a fixed IP on my network. Same result.

    I logged a new post about it, as per your previous email.

    It's very frustrating, as your product is extremely comprehensive and has an excellent UI.
