Troubleshooting?
• if you cannot find settings in ScanMyTesla on Android, make sure you have the Beta version of the ScanMyT3SLA app from PlayStore

• check if the WiFi connection is stable (means it doesn't disconnect after 3 seconds or so) 

• check if only 1 phone is connected to the S3XY_OBD at a time (if you ever connected something else like a phone, the car, or a laptop, they might connect automatically in the background....forget the WIFI network from these devices)

• check if you have an active VPN and disable it if so. It prevents those apps from working

• restart ScanMyTesla or TesLax apps if the WiFi connection is OK but they still cannot connect
