The Tube works normal, but i cant configuring the tube. The 80D is in Liveview Mode, I connect the cable,the Volume is turned to the maximum.
But i press the send buttom in the tube app nothing is happen.The led didn't flash. Android Phone and PC allways the same.

Could you please let us know which Android device you are using.
Can you hear the clicking sound if you run the app and tap Send without the cable being plugged in?

Hello,

The Device is a Huawei mate 10 lite. Without the cable the Huawei says The transmitter is not connected. With Headphones i can hear the click.
On PC i hear the click without cable.

Thanks
Marko

I am using the Huawei 20 Pro and experiencing the same as Stas. I can hear the sound when my USB adapter is plugged into the USB C port of the phone. My phone does not have a direct earphone jack. Hope I'm not hijacking this thread.

Hello Stas,

The new settings dont help. Not on my phone or PC.

Now the good news, it will working with my Fathers Huawei P9 lite. The LED flash when i send. :D :D

Something is strange. On the P9 i have 2 icons on the phone. My Device just 1 icon. :?: :?: :?:

I`m calmed down the tube is fine. Just my phone.

Thanks Stas for your time and help
