shutter release works in Windows but not Android

[frederic]

Using the latest version of everything DSLRDashboard, Windows 7, Android 4.0.4 (tablet). it's a D3X with a Manual (unchipped) lens attached. Set for release priority.

On Windows, with either USB or WiFi connection, everything seems normal. Namely, when I push the shutter release button, the camera operates, the JPG preview appears and the .NEF remains on the camera (which is what I want, and how the options are configured).

On Android, everything seems to work except the shutter release. When I push the button, "Camera operation start" flashes briefly and nothing happens. When I hold the button down to change the mode from leaving the image on camera to bringing it to the tablet, then the button / shutter release works and the files (jpg and NEF) come to the tablet (which is not what I want).

This behaviour is the same in normal operation or LiveView.

I have tried this side-by-side, simply moving the cable from the Windows to the Android, no camera changes.

I really don't want to drag my laptop into the field, so want to get the tablet working.

Any ideas?

Do you use on Android also qDslrDashboard or did you download it from Google Play ?
qDslrDashboard on Android uses the same code as on Windows, so if it works on Windows it will work on Android to.

That's it. I assumed the playstore version would be current. The shutter release works on the side-loaded version! Now for more experimentation.

Thanks for your help!
