MHD Wifi

Is anyone else having problems with freezing while monitoring? I have the orange mhd WiFi adapter and never have any problems connecting and flashing. Once I start monitoring, all the gauges freeze after about 15-25 seconds. Driving me crazy 
Unfortunately once you migrate to 2.* you are unable to downgrade again...
MHD app enhancements thread
i dont know if i have delay. but it really is annoying that starting logging is like darts hitting bulls eye. The button is a pos. Was way better in v1.9.

Iām using my iPad that I have specifically for this car. Itās always in airplane mode with WiFi enabled. Using the sport gauges instead of the bar. Not sure which one is the newer version.
I use a nexus tablet dedicated for logging. I like using the auto log feature, but cannot with the wifi module. I think it drops just enough to look like a zero for pedal position and stops logging.
I've been using wired for several weeks now with no issues. I didn't have this issue with the pre-2.0 app.
I do recall missing a few thousand rpm of data when using the wifi module and manual logging, so maybe a flakey module.
Been to busy to troubleshoot it with mhd. Some day.

My black F series adapter also disconnects at times, but thats because it comes a bit loose so make sure you really shove your adapter into the port.
My only real complaint with the F series wifi adapter is the size, it's quite big and I do occasional contact it with my foot albeit not enough to damage it (Just a really light touch). I've seen people on facebook report breaking the entire obd2 port mount off from kicking it so yeah I think this thing is way too big - maybe I'll consider getting an obd2 extension and routing it somewhere.
Sure. Best idea and super easy rather than unplugging/re-connecting
Just need a little double sided tape and filed a small notch for wire to pass through and cover can go back on.

Mine unfortunately stays up for mere seconds before disconnecting, so nothing can be done with it and it is basically useless. I've gone back to a wired solution for the time being so that I can get things done. Trust me, I've tried to make sure that the connection between the adapter and the port is snug
Oh dang, you probably should get a new unit from MHD - if it is indeed the adapters fault which in this case sounds like it is.Mine unfortunately stays up for mere seconds before disconnecting, so nothing can be done with it and it is basically useless.

I'm trying my best. Bimmer-connect who sold the adapter is not responding to emails or facebook messages. I got an answer back from MHD that they wash their hands off from the issue and I need to figure it out with the reseller. Which I completely understand, but as BC is completely ignoring me it is a tad difficult.
Does anyone have better email address to try to reach BC than [email protected] ?
Oh man that's terrible to hear op.
I'm glad I got mine from bms since I'm absolutely sure they will always take care of me.
Finally I got through to Bimmer-Connect as MHD had additional contact details for them and a month after my initial email I'm getting a working adapter.

I have been having the same issue and was talking (sent in debugging files as well) to MHD about but have not heard anything back lately. It happens with my orange adapter that I have had since they first released it and it happens on my dedicated Lenovo tablet, my S20 Ultra 5G, and on my backup Fire HD 7 and all of these devices have been used for MHD for a while without issue so it's not the Android device. MHD says it is happening because the devices are trying to connect to other wifi devices but my tablets are not set up to connect to any wifi networks automatically and I only use them for the car.
When mine freezes it is not the device, I just hit the back button and then start monitoring again and it works fine.
My guess is that it is an issue with the Orange MHD adapter itself, I'll likely get another one and see if it fixes the issue. It's pretty annoying because it seems to freeze when I run into someone in Mexico and do a pull and then after I realize it was frozen and did not log.

let me know if getting a new adapter works. Iām hoping they switch to Bluetooth adapters soon. Seems like that connection is more reliable.
Connect to the adapter's network as normal, then go to http://192.168.4.1 in your web browser. That should bring up the adapter's settings page, and from there you should be able to find the Wi-Fi settings.
Here's what the page looks like. You want the WiFi Soft-AP tab under the hamburger menu, all the Wi-Fi related settings are in there
