New ScreenLogic Android App

[panic_button]

I see Pentair forced the V2.1.0.59 upgrade to me on Android. I see some improvements, but not sure I like the that they didn't give me an option to keep the old version. Now if they'd upgrade SLConfig so the email notifications work again the would be nice.

PB,

How did they force you to do it?

Thanks,

You could always uninstall the new version and side load install the older version apk.

It auto updates the prior version. I uninstalled it yesterday, loaded the old version and after a few hours it updated itself, did the same at 7am this morning and by 11am it was prompting me to add a password and accept the ula. I'm checking to see how I can block the auto update feature.

New one has LOTS of bugs. Presumably there'll be another update soon.

With an unrooted phone, you can't block automatic updates for individual apps, but you can block them for all apps collectively.

To block all auto updates, open the Play Store, tap your avatar in the upper right corner, then tap Settings, Network Preferences, Auto-Update Apps.

While auto updates are blocked, you can manually update apps in the Play Store by tapping your avatar and then tapping Manage Apps & Device.

Tap Settings, then System Settings. You'll see these three options:



Go back and tap System Settings again. Now you'll see TWO sets of the three options:



You can repeat the process. Each time, another copy of the three options will be appended to the list.

Another bug: Temperature doesn't display on the main Pool and Spa screens:



There are more; those are just the two that I found in the first 30 seconds.

Drew,

Agree with the system settings.. But, mine shows water temp for both my pool and spa.

I find it a pain that it does not remember my PA address once it is entered.

Thanks,

seeing the same, reverting back to the old version.

PB,

I use my PC about 99% of the time, so it does not make a lot of difference to me.

The PC is about 10 x better than any phone for programming and use.

Thanks,
