    Black Friday email confusion

    The email does cover two different iFly EFB tablets. The first one (closest to the top of the email) and labeled "The iFly EFB X7 Aviation Tablet" is the newest iFly EFB tablet which is built on the Hugerock X7 tablet with iFly EFB installed plus some other hardware goodies. The second one...

    ADS-B receiver compatibility

    I use the Stratus III. It works pretty good but it does seem susceptible to shutting down due to heat when it is on the glareshield. I often place something over it to shield it from direct sunlight. I also carry a Stratux as a backup to the Stratus.

    X7 Mounting

    You might consider fabricating a cover plate for that hole with a mounted RAM ball and using a short double socket 1" RAM arm to attach to a tablet holder similar to what @Cobra displayed. Be careful if installing anything in a certified aircraft because the FAA is the FAA. Ask your mechanic to...

    X7 Charging Issues

    I found this interesting as "Power" and "Volts" are not the same. My understanding was that the USB voltage standard is 5 volts. However, I did find this interesting bit of information on the Internet: https://www.quora.com/Is-USB-always-5v It appears that the USB standard is 5 volts, but a PD...

    Cellular Data over Satellite (T-Mobile, etc)

    Is this the case for the Starlink mini devices currently mounted in airplanes?

    Cellular Data over Satellite (T-Mobile, etc)

    Currently, the use case for that is limited to newer iPhones, Android phones and Android tablets. However, I suspect this will be changing soon and would require users to purchase a new device to take advantage of satellite service connectivity. I feel that the most prevalent use case at this...

    Stratus 2S compatability

    Google is your friend! I used a Stratux (DIY) prior to the Stratus 3 becoming available. I now have and use the Stratus 3.

    X7

    Those belong to Android. Give Google a shot. G = some kind of Google notification keyhole = some kind of account authentication notification left & right arrow with exclamation point = no internet data All found by Googling.

    Bug report using gmail vs outlook

    I attempted to set up the Windows default email app as "Chrome" (the only Google-type app listed in Windows). After restarting Windows and testing the bug reporting feature in the iFly app, it still brought up Outlook to send the email. You can either follow Cobra's recommendation or submit a...

    SINGLE DATABASE (and Management Tool(s))

    This would only be truly effective if our devices were 100% connected all of the time. However, we don't seem to have a "master database" in the cloud that we can manage and sync with. That would be nice. We seem to be managing multiple device databases stored in the cloud. I handle this by...

    Auto-popup of pen icon with Auto-Taxi

    This would definitely be on the innovative side, but I feel it asks the tool to do too much. I'm not IFR but I have heard that one can expect a certain approach so it can be pre-entered into a navigator. I'm not sure if there are expected taxi instructions once someone has landed. Are you...

    Wifi issues with X7

    For some odd reason, my Android 14 tablet doesn't have such a setting. I did Google it though and as for the reason, Google AI states: "Android 13 may turn on Wi-Fi automatically to connect to preferred networks, a feature designed to save mobile data by connecting to known Wi-Fi when you're in...

    Wifi issues with X7

    Is this in the iFlyEFB app settings or the OS (Android) settings?

    Future Possibility? iFlightplanner.com reverse flight plan updating

    It appears that you can export an iFlyEFB flight plan to a file. It appears to save it with a ".fpl" suffix. Does iFlightplanner.com allow imports of flight plans that are in the ".fpl" format?
