Has anyone been able to connect to Sky Safari Pro using the new Samsung Tab S7+? This is a large, high-end tablet, and it will connect to Sky Safari 6 Pro with my Losmandy mounts and a Bluetooth transmitter that I built. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e, and that works perfectly with StarGo and Sky Safari, as does my Samsung phone, a Galaxy Note 10+. Curiously, the Tab S7+ does work with STAR-GO BT v2.0.6, but just won't connect to Sky Safari--times out after about 30 seconds. I've tried everything to get the S7+ to connect to SkySafari, and nothing works. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Success! My Samsung Tab S7+ OS was updated recently by Samsung (9/11/22). Patch level August 1, 2022. I am running Android 12, Build SP 2A220305.013, T970XXU2CVH3. I can now connect to Sky Safari 6, but it takes 2 tries. On the first attempt, you get an error message. But on the second attempt, it will connect in about 15 seconds. This is the same as my Samsung Note 10+ phone. I have been unable to connect to Sky Safari 7 over Bluetooth, however.

I am now able to connect to Sky Safari Pro 7 on my Samsung Phone Galaxy S23 Ultra and my Samsung Tab S7+. Apparently the problem earlier was that I did not complete all the steps needed to define a new profile for telescope equipment in Sky Safari 7. StarGo works beautifully with SkySafari 7 over Bluetooth. Very smooth, better than Sky Safari 6. Also connects immediately on first try, on both my phone and my tablet. I have a revised set of instructions for using Sky Safari 7 with StarGo. Email me and I'll send you a copy: tbfowler@caa.columbia.edu.+
