Samsung phone user and APP fix

WiFi Fix for Samsung Phones

So for you Samsung users. If your smokers wifi isnt seeing the network and you know your system is on 2.4 go into your phone settings -> Biometrics and security-> scroll down to LOCATION and make sure that toggle is ON. Its needs to be on for the initial setup.

Once you've set it up your smoker and app you can turn it off. You wont need to turn on your location aka GPS again.

For some reason on Samsung phones the phone wont allow the App to turn on location. Once I did that I was able to get the wifi to connect

Thanks for posting this!

Got frustrated trying to get my S9 to connect so for kicks tried my old S7,it connected with no issues. Figured I'd just have to carry 2 phones around while grilling.

Then this little nugget worked like a charm!

I have never had any issues with the app using my S4 and the original app version. I think I'll keep it that way. No need for me to fix what isn't broken. I hate it for those having issues, as it is super nice when all works as intended.

The app is amazing...its not the app that's the issue. The newer Samsung's have a security setting that wont allow apps to automatically turn on location, which is good, but frustrating if you dont understand what is wrong....

Once its solved its awesome
