Problem Description
Issue Identification: Once the iPad connects to SkyView Wi-Fi, it mistakenly assumes internet accessibility through SkyView, leading to a loss of GSM connectivity.
Impact: Applications requiring an internet connection, like SafeSky, become non-functional due to the absence of GSM connectivity.
Solution Guide
Step 1: Access Wi-Fi Settings on Dynon
Navigate to the Wi-Fi settings menu on your Dynon device (e.g., HDX1000).
Step 2: Locate the Relevant Setting
Look for a setting titled similarly to "Show Wi-Fi Symbol" or “Wi-Fi Icon on Apple devices.” The exact name may vary, so carefully peruse the options available.
Step 3: Modify the Setting
Once identified, you need to toggle this setting to the 'OFF' position.
Although the setting’s description may specifically mention Apple devices, the adjustment is applicable and effective for Android devices as well.
Step 4: Save Changes and Test
After saving the changes, reconnect your device to SkyView Wi-Fi. You should now have the capability to use both SkyView Wi-Fi and mobile data (GSM) simultaneously.
Testing and Verification
The deactivation of the “Wi-Fi Icon on Apple devices” setting has been tested and verified to allow concurrent use of SkyView Wi-Fi and GSM on both Apple and Android devices.
Conclusion
Adjusting the identified Wi-Fi setting on your Dynon device ensures you can maintain GSM connectivity while also connected to SkyView Wi-Fi. This setup allows for uninterrupted use of apps like EasyVFR and SafeSky, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience during flights. For any further assistance, refer to the device’s manual or contact the manufacturer's customer support.
