Is there any "PC-Suite" software for the DS808?
I'd like to be able to download updates with my pc, when needed, without having to use the slow built-in wifi.(although the usb link isn't much faster......)
I e-mailed support and all they respond with is to call in. I call in and all I get is the phone tree run-around, and no call back(yet).
It's a simple question that shouldn't need a phone call to answer.

Ok, thanks.
Next question, seeing as this is android based, would there be any benefit to installing a "backup" app, or would there be no real way of recovery if the internal flash data got corrupted.
I've copied the vehicle database files, but I'm thinking more of the operating system wanting to backup.

Thanks, that's kind of what my research indicated to me as well, no real root access, and no boot access like on my android phone, so OS backup is most likely not viable short of booting from USB, and I've found no options for that either......

Like you, I have also copied the "scan" folder to the sd card and then made another dupe to one of my external backup hard drives.

On yours, have you noticed it taking longer to boot and load the "MaxiDas" app when your SD card is installed?

Without the external SD card installed, it can boot and be active in a bit under 1 minute.
With the external SD card installed it will boot just as fast to the lock screen, but the MaxiDas app doesn't load right away, a pop-up box says "SD card not found" then after another 1 minute(I'm guessing after the OS sorts out and mounts the external SD card, the app will load and it runs fine.

I've decided to use it most of the time without the external SD card installed, and only put it in when I think I may need it.
