SC OBD2 7.1.x: novedades

7.1.8 (1608)

Disponible para los testers Alpha seleccionados en Google Play.

• Telemetría reactivada y consolidada: adquisición OBD, interrupciones y recuperación se distinguen de las búsquedas automáticas sin disponibilidad de conexión confirmada.
• Nuevas observaciones de adquisición en sesiones posteriores de Analytics, viajes guardados y confirmados y acciones de licencias. Los informes agregados no reconstruyen recorridos individuales.
• Esta actualización solo cambia la telemetría. Lectura OBD y reconexión automática sin cambios. La lentitud OBD intermitente y los ANR QEMU siguen en seguimiento.

Always check you have the latest version

The latest published Alpha is 7.1.8 (1608). Before testing or reporting an issue, check your installed version.

Open Google Play

Tap “Open Google Play”. If you see “Update”, tap it to install the latest version.

Use the Google account enrolled in Alpha. If “Update” is missing, you may already have the latest version offered to that account: check the version number.

All 7.1.x changes, by version

7.1.7 (1607)

Alpha anterior — envío a Play 704.

• Report an issue from every screen, including screens without menus. Attach up to four optional screenshots, preview or remove them, or send without images.
• Attachments share the same report. Retrying a partial upload preserves the receipt and avoids duplicate cases.
• Update and feedback notifications survive OBD service refresh, stop and cleanup. Tapping opens the feedback page immediately in the browser.
• Control OBD and update/feedback notifications separately in Android settings, preserving existing choices.
• Values and labels change units together. Configured PIDs refresh immediately after a confirmed save.
• OBD conversions use a snapshot of three unit settings, refreshed after confirmed writes. SQLite remains authoritative, with fewer repeated settings queries.
• Historical licence checks can retry temporary unavailability in the same process, preserving recognised rights and avoiding duplicate requests from different screens.
• Support reports with diagnostics and screenshots are enabled for installations with valid App Check; staff can view their attachments.

7.1.6 (1606)

• More detailed connection diagnostics: session, adapter, gaps in data, transport and recovery timing. Diagnostic collection can change without interrupting the OBD session.
• Passive read timing and stability monitoring distinguish voluntary stops from observed anomalies. This does not establish a fix for intermittent degradation.
• Settings read confirmed SQLite data instead of retaining stale values. The six settings tabs are defined directly in code.
• Settings and PID selection startup are guarded when Android recreates screens before initialization finishes.
• Code Log progress bars: safer configuration parsing and drawing without repeated allocations.

7.1.5 (1605)

• Bounded passive vehicle and ECU-response evidence helps investigate OBD compatibility without introducing dedicated active queries.
• Improved handling of evidence from multiple ECUs and VIN data. Diagnostic evidence does not replace vehicle diagnosis.

7.1.4 (1604)

• More accurate DTC reading and clearing results distinguish a sent command from the actual responses received.
• Operational diagnostics help investigate connections and readings; licence diagnostics are separated and historical recovery is explained more clearly.
• Backup restore tolerates trips with missing optional addresses.
• Code Log progress bars and launch parameters in five screens handle missing or unexpected data more safely.

7.1.3 (1603)

• More consistent SCA FULL and OBD2 FULL recognition and recovery, with verified entitlement precedence and provenance while preserving recognised purchases offline.
• Verified SCA FULL recovery preserves the original installation and keeps the Home badge and recovery dialogs consistent.
• Includes the changes developed in candidate 7.1.2 below. No new PRO/Premium entitlement is announced.

7.1.2 (1602)

Development candidate: changes carried into 7.1.3, not a separate Alpha to find on Play.

• More responsive Performance side gauges, PID selection and layouts with two, three or four readings; secondary arc scales restored.
• RPM gauges and configuration menus fit the visible viewport, with corrected landscape dimensions and scales on phones and tablets.
• Stopwatch unit-change gesture restored, with more consistent Live Data values and unit refresh.
• Consistent PID quantity icons across RPM arcs and Live Data, with contextual explanations behind information icons.
• OBD fuel recognition without a vehicle profile, corrected consumption conversions and missing readings distinguished from valid zeros.
• Home/bitmap consolidation, independent Stopwatch customization and safer vehicle-profile launch parameters.
• Lighter message history: an initial 100 rows, then more on request.
• Android compatibility, low-memory, rotation and Android 6 diagnostic-dispatch fixes.

7.1.1 (1601)

• Pre-release Alpha identity 7.1.1 (1601), preserving the 7.1.0 feature set.
• Stronger keyboard-space regression checks. This transition introduces no separate new user feature.

7.1.0 (1070)

Foundation of the 7.1.x series compared with the earlier Legacy generation.

• Updated SC OBD2 branding, Home and quick guide, contextual help and improved phone, tablet and landscape layouts.
• Live Data and Stopwatch work without a vehicle profile, keeping results in memory. Select a real profile to save supported results to history.
• Three gauge styles, configurable side arcs and readings, independent Stopwatch customization and improved RPM responsiveness.
• Torque and power from available ECU data or estimates where applicable, with source labels and explicit unavailable values.
• Edit fuel price from trip cost, open a prefilled refuelling entry and distinguish missing consumption data from valid values.
• Trips retained without GPS routes, interactive period filters, lighter history lists and OpenStreetMap maps.
• Backup preview, validation and compatible-data merging, historical backup support and more robust CSV export without pausing OBD reads.
• Revised Bluetooth/Wi-Fi configuration and connection handling, foreground service and location guidance, including ECU wake-up and reconnection handling.
• DTC diagnostics and code references, historical licence recognition, existing purchases and SCA FULL guidance.
• Updated compatibility through Android 16, stability fixes, translations and preservation of settings during upgrades.

Still under monitoring

Intermittent OBD degradation and the QEMU ANR remain under monitoring; they are not declared fixed. Readings and diagnostic capabilities depend on vehicle and adapter. Always include the app version, phone and adapter in reports.

Qué puedes probar

• Configuración y conexión más rápidas. Prueba Live Data y el cronómetro sin perfil de vehículo; selecciona uno para guardar los resultados compatibles en el historial. También se ha revisado la gestión de Bluetooth y Wi-Fi.
• Live Data e indicadores. Elige entre tres estilos, personaliza arcos laterales y lecturas y configura el cronómetro de forma independiente.
• Consumo, repostajes y costes. Edita el precio del combustible desde un viaje y abre un repostaje prerrellenado. Se distinguen los valores ausentes de los ceros válidos.
• Viajes, historial y mapas. Conserva información útil incluso sin ruta GPS, filtra el historial más fácilmente y consulta rutas con OpenStreetMap.
• Copias, restauración y CSV. Previsualiza las copias compatibles antes de restaurar o combinar datos. La exportación CSV maneja mejor valores ausentes y caracteres especiales.
• Diagnóstico, licencias y Android. Encuentra códigos de avería más fácilmente, comprueba el resultado del borrado cuando sea compatible y consulta indicaciones más claras sobre licencias existentes y SCA FULL. Mejora la compatibilidad con Android reciente, incluido Android 16.

Las lecturas y funciones de diagnóstico dependen del coche y del adaptador OBD. Indica la versión exacta de la app al comunicar un problema.
