For LeafSpy what does it list for the permission (Blank, Never, While Using, Always, On, Off or something else)?epirali said:One more question: I may be missing something but I am having issues with GPS data. Initially I had not enabled access to GPS, and now that I have I can never get the app to use the GPS.
Am I missing something?

After doing some testing I think you will find the permission field blank. Select 'While Using" and it should start working.
There is a bug in the code that should trigger the popup from iOS for you to give permission for LeafSpy to use Location data. Will be fixed in next release. For now people will need to manually give permission to LeafSpy in the Privacy Settings.

"If you leave this plugged in all the time, does it automatically come on (send the WiFi signal) when you start up the car?
A: Yes, it will, but it need connect via software, not your phones WiFi directly, thanks. Wu Wensheng answered on February 25, 2015"
A little cryptic but it seems that what I and others experienced is how it works.
Retest with today's release of version 1.0.8.vrwl said:Turbo3 said:Can you go to the Privacy Settings and select Location Services (which should be On).

I was having an issue with GPS appearing to be off for this app too. I checked the Privacy settings for the app and it defaults to a blank entry.
Also, the only options for that setting are Never or Always, there is no option for While Using.
No phone data from your phone plan. It does use GPS data from your phone.finman100 said:I can also confirm that the GPS/elevation graph is working great! Thanks Turbo3.
So is this using phone data from my phone plan?

Wow, you are really making amazing progress on this. Let me add my thanks to the long list of people greatful for this tool. I'll buy it once its out but will likely keep running the Android version on my old Garminfone which is dedicated to this task. I hope you bring some of the exciting new features (and a bug fix for the temp sensor which of course I notice now that its been pointed it out) over to Android version. I own 3 bluetooth OBDII connectors, guess now I need a WiFi one to check out the new version on iPhone! I hope its a great success.Turbo3 said:Version 1.0.10 is now waiting to be reviewed for release to the App Store.
Just added Dropbox access support to LeafSpy Pro.
Turbo3 said:I now have sync to Dropbox working.
Once per minute the app will check if any files have changed size from what is in the app's Dropbox folder. If they don't exist or have changed size they will be copied over.
The final version will let you decide which files type you would liked sync'd. There are three folders.
* "Log Files" which will hold the Log_*.csv files
* "Charge & Elevation Logs" which will hold any saved charge or elevation/speed *.csv files
* "Trace Files" which will hold any ELM trace files TRC_*.txt
The TripChrgLog file will be in the top level folder (/Apps/LeafSpy Pro).
Sync interval will probably have several settings (every 1, 5, 10 or 15 minutes). Probably an option to register your home network. You can then select sync only when on home network for those with no data plan or don't want to use their data plan while driving. So when you get within range of your home network the files will sync. Hopefully before you turn off the app/phone.
All I need to do now is update the Settings menu with a new Dropbox control panel with all the above options.
This took a lot less time than I was expecting. There does not seem to be any significant load on the app as a result of reading/writing all the directory and file information as it is already located on the device's copy of the Dropbox. Somehow I was originally thinking that the app would be reading and writing to the Cloud which would slow down the app. But all that happens outside the app in the background.
