[Scope Control]* SkySafari 7 Pro Android Crashes when Press Connect to Connect to Takahashi Temma 2 with Bluetooth Connection

I've gone back to Pro 6 for now, which always works.  No idea what's going on.  The Demo Interface seems to work, but when I establish the Preset to the Tak Temma 2 using a Bluetooth connection, the app stops/crashes/disappears from my screen.

    Val, 

    What Bluetooth hardware device are you using?

    Thanks!

    Well, it's a Serial RS232 Bluetooth Adapter from USConverters.com, Model UCBT232B.  The app doesn't even seem to try to connect, as far as I can tell; the crash occurs immediately.

    And, please also be specific about when the app is crashing.  At specifically what stage does the app crash?  What is the last action you take?  Please attach a screenshot of the last screen page before crashing.

    Thanks!

    SkySafari Pro, Ver 7.0.1.1; Google Pixel 4 XL; Android Version 12.  I set up Takahashi Temma 2 as a preset, to connect via Bluetooth.  Then after that, anytime I push Connect the app shuts down immediately, in less than 1 second.

    I uninstalled and re-installed once to try to solve the problem, with no effect.

    I have the same problem.  Losmandy Gemini, Samsung tablet.  US Converters Blutooth.  Works perfectly with SkySafari 6.

    Also SkySafari 7 crashes when it tries to load many of my observing lists, all of which work perfectly with SkySafari 6.  

    Did you release a beta version of SkySafari 7?  Shouldn't be this many bugs!

    So, when a ticket opens, do we ever find out if the issue is resolved?  If I can never used Pro 7, and I have been completely unable to, can I get a refund?

    Val, 

    There is a bluetooth issue unrelated to this particular post you are commenting on.

    SkySafari 7 | Telescope Support

    ^^^ Follow the first [Bluetooth]* posts at the top of the forum.

    Thanks!

    Ah, ok.  Glad to have info.  Thanks.  I guess it will be addressed at some point?  I use Wifi for other things while I run my telescope, so I'd really rather use Bluetooth or a wired connection to the scope.
