struggling here with Android Surface

    Hi all,
    bought a Samsung Tab A7 cause it works with Avid Control Too...
    But seems my Wifi connection is weak...
    So I bought an ethernet to USB C adapter and connected it directly to the tab...
    Unable to make it work ...
    Soundflow works ok, but sometimes on refresh doesnt see the tab.. Sometimes pushing on a command takes time to make the Macro work...
    I'm Here to ask Christian and others on soundflow to make us a Bridge like OSC where you can connect it directly through USB .
    Beside the fact that when I switch from PT to RX8 I'm unable to Change the Surface on the TAB! I read the whole forum up and down... and Couldn't find answers to my questions...
    Any help is welcome!
    Cheers

      Hi @Vicroor_Bresse,

      I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues.

      And yes that's a great idea regarding having a bridge to connect SoundFlow directly to the tablet. Be sure to add that idea to the Idea section of the forum so it can be considered for future versions of SoundFlow.

      Regarding application switching to display surfaces on tablets, you can do this by using the Show Surface Macro action and by assigning an application trigger. Please see the following link where I walk you through how to display decks and surfaces on ios and android devices.

          Hello Kitch, Thank you for your prompt reply, I'm a noob here so please bare with me... :)
          I'll Write soon all the ideas for surfaces; I need to explore more....

          As for the PT Surface launching when PT Activates and RX when RX activates worked well. And Thank you for the Video.
          While in my PT Suface I have a Button that calls a Notes Surface.
          Even if I put Notes to Open in Tab In the Macro that launches it; (Create New)
          My Notes Surface Open on the Mac and not on my Tab.
          Anything I'm Doing Wrong?

            You're welcome @Victor_Bresse

            Assuming you're assigning the macro with the "Open Surface" Action to the surface button it should work.

            I would however set the open mode to the default "OpenOrCreate".

            Could you attempt restarting SoundFlow on your tablet and try again. If that does not work, it would be great if you could submit a report via the Help/Issue workflow please click here to send us the information we need

            Rock on!
