ALP Connect (Android Version for AL Priority) Officially Released

[BestRadarDetectors]

This thread will be for the discussion of the ALP Connect for Android Users. Please note that ALP Connect Android will ONLY work on Android Phones using Android 4.3 or higher and the phone needs to support Bluetooth 4.0. Bluetooth 4.0 consumes very little energy and will have very little drain on your battery. I have been running the Final a few days now and have left the app in the background and have not noticed any change to my battery life. When I start my car it immediately connects and when I leave the car it disconnects. I want to take a moment to also thank all of the Beta users that helped get this product ready.

You will also require ALP Firmware: 4.5.1 or higher. 4.5.1 is being released today.

You can find ALP Connect in the Google Play store... Here is the direct link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ity.alpconnect

Was hoping I could use this on my Android Tracfone, but it runs 4.1 and Bluetooth 3.0. Bummer...

Sorry... It needs a minimum of 4.3 or later and BT 4.0 support. Check with the Android Forums out there and see if you can push your own upgrade on it. I was able to update my 4 year old Galaxy Nexus to 4.4 with Rom's that were out there.

Great news for ALP users.

FWIW:
I ran some of the later Betas (still am), and it has worked excellent for me. I would expect the official release experience to be as good, if not better.

I have found very few members so far with old phones that would not work.

My S3 works fine mate, but I never checked it on 4.4.2.
I installed a custom ROM on mine so it runs kitkat and ALP runs sweet

I am not an ALP Connect user. However, I installed the ALPConnect app on my Nexus 5 with Android Lollipop to see how it would work in demo mode. Just want to let you guys know that when I hit SCAN, the app sometimes crashes, and I get a notification that "Unfortunately, ALPConnect has stopped". This happened about 2-3 times, but seems to have stopped occurring now.
