    When I use ALP Connect on my Android phone, after a few seconds (GPS acquisition) the speed does display accurately.

    I'm not trying to connect both at the same time, other functions work fine (e.g. parking, radar). I don't have the GPS antenna. Running iOS 8.1.2 (latest) on an iPhone 5S.
    When I go to settings -> Privacy -> Location services, no preference is set for ALPConnect. If I set it to always, it will stay on that...
    ...until I run ALP Connect. Still no speed on the screen within the app, and when I go back to the location services setting, the "always" preference is no longer specified.

    Any thoughts? Is this a known bug? ALPConnect version 1.7 for iOS, by the way.
    Yes, IOS 8.x forgetting location settings is already known and AL is trying to work with Apple to get this fixed.

    The more I push the technology I have (iPhone 6+), the more bugs I discover that I would not otherwise notice. The speed not showing on the IOS 8.x can be "fixed" by going into location settings and manually selecting "always" for ALPConnect. Sucks that you have to do this every time. Apple has also failed us hardcore on the BT issue. If used different components on some of the iPhone 6's that would explain why some iPhone 6's work fine, and others like myself have to suffer for all eternity while they drag their feet to "fix" the issue. If its a hardware problem, you can count on NEVER.

    As for the possible hardware differences, I wonder if anyone has opened a working iPhone 6 and compared the hardware to and non-working iPhone 6. Might be able to get the answer we are looking for that way. If we can prove that is the likely cause, then we might force Apple's hand and get them to exchange the phones. If they refused, then a nice class action lawsuit might get their attention.
