Looking for a cheap android tablet to get the volcano app

[SkutFarkus]

I purchased the - 7” onn. Tablet gen 2 with android - in hopes of using it with my volcano hybrid. I’ve been unable to connect, and the app keeps giving me the message, "Location permission required. For a smooth Bluetooth connection between your smartphone and your device, the app needs your permission to use the tracking services. Use the location services exclusively for this purpose."
Does anyone have any experience with this? Or can you recommend a cheap android tablet that will run the app and connect to my hybrid. The web app is getting really annoying and is pretty useless without being able to do anything with firmware or workflows.

You would have to allow the app to know your location, no matter what device you put the app into and there’s probably no need to buy another.
I have the same app for a Crafty and IIRC it has some sort of “find my vape” function, that’s why it wants to know that.

Maybe there an issue with geotracking not working properly because the tablet is lacking a SIM?

Not all tablets have gps.

If your device is not set up with a gps chip your only option is adding an external one.


Something like this.

It just occurred to me how far up our asses technology seems to be when you need a GPS device to use your vape

Things may have changed but in order to use the Crafty app I only needed to connect my old android phone to internet. I remember very well it worked without SIM

I ended up returning the onn tablet and got an even cheaper tracfone. Worked out even better. More remote sized than the tablet and does just what I wanted. S&B should just include a tiny touch screen remote with app installed or give a voucher for a free tracfone to use as a remote. Cause that web app for the volcano does didly squat for workflows or iterations. And IMO that’s the whole point of the app. And for that matter the whole point of having a hybrid. I love my hybrid so much more now that I can create my own custom workflows & iterations and access all the settings.
