SDSRemoteDisplay Android App

[dispatcher812]

So I have the OTG cable hooked up after the app started. No joy. I am using a Oneplus Nord N20 with Oxygenos. Can't get it to USB tether. Tried to load app on a Samsung A11, not compatible. Loaded ok on a Samsung J7 crown but it has the wrong USB size. Still working on it.

Ok update, I was able to get it to load and work on the A11. Works great. Can't get over the low usb voltage when I try to connect it to a charger in my car. I purchased an OTG cable from one of the links in this thread. Oh, this is on anSDS100.

Are you sure the charger is working? Maybe it doesn't supply enough power to power both at the same time?

Yes. I even tried switching ports. I have a few ideas to try next. I am also wondering if due to the fact that the phones battery was almost dead when doing this that it was getting more power then the scanner. Now that the phone is fully charged I want to see what happens.

Ok so still no luck. Phone charge at 98 and still got USB voltage warning. Then tried a USB adapter to a cig plug. When this happened the app stopped working and I got the bug warning. Restarting phone cleared the bug. Then tried USB to a 2.1 amp port on a power adapter. Same as above. Trying another phone next.

Could be a bad OTG cable?

Thinking it's possible. I took the cable and put it directly to the scanner from the port. Charge light came on instantly. So I know the cable it self is good. Where can I find a good quality OTG? I got one of the ones that where highlighted in this thread.

New release 1.7

This version includes audio when connected via Wifi. It will only work on scanners that have wifi connectivity. SDS200 and BCD536.
It will not transfer audio over USB connections.

Only one app can be streaming audio from a scanner at once, so if you have Proscan or something similar connected there will be no audio.

Caveats:
- Audio either works or it doesn't. There is no error message displayed.
- You cannot stop the audio while the app is running, you need to swipe away the app to stop audio.
- If you lose wifi connection to the scanner, audio will stop and not automatically restart.
- The audio will be delayed, so the display and audio will not be in perfect sync.
- I have noticed the audio can be choppy for the first minute or so.
- Overall, it can be a bit finicky to get working.

If you cannot get it working, try rebooting the scanner. My SDS200 seems to require this more than my 536.

Available at GitHub - seangildea/SDSRemoteDisplay: Remote display Android app for Uniden SDS100/200 and BCD436/536 communication scanners

To be able to install this from Google play rather than side loading, please send me your email address and I will add you to the beta tester list. You would also be helping me get past the mandatory testing Google requires before the app is available generally.
Anyone already on the list should be able to update through Google Play.

Works perfectly for me! SDS200 connected via Ethernet and Samsung S24 Ultra via Wi-Fi (same mesh network).

Thank you for adding this feature!!!!

Were you ever able to get my email added for the Google Play?

Both email addresses you gave me are in the testers list and have been since we tried before. I don't know why it doesn't work for you.

I'll email you so we don't bore people on this thread!
