Does anyone else have problems with Shearwater Desktop BT connection?

The Bluetooth configuration can be a pain, especially if you already have a different Buletooth driver installed. This tool helped me clean up a few problems and get working: Bluetooth Driver Installer - Get Bluetooth to work with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack

For me, I have problems with the dongle (Windows 10 computer, but same issue with Windows 7) when there are other BT devices around, such as my IPhone, IPad, etc. I make sure that the BT on those is turned off and then it works no problem.

i had problems but those were resolved 100% by switching to a new ASUS BT dongle.

I encountered an error for the first time today.

My Predator looked like it had a solid battery, but when I tried to update the firmware, it failed and gave a battery symbol.

I swapped out the battery and no problem there on.

I think this year I am just going to swap in the Energizer Lithium batterys before every trip and then use the used ones for remotes and flashlights even the safts dont seem to last as long as I think they should. I think I can smell the capaciter going bad in my petrel 2 so that might be part of the problem.

I have a 'dive' which will not download to the desktop app. It was less than a minute so I suspect so validation bug in the downloader. The various iPad apps which can download the logs are happy with it.

I had that problem a while back. Just delete that dive from your Petrel then it'll upload all dives to the shearwater application.
