But why isnt it finding it? I tried scanning with the app, didnt found epim. Then i tried enabling sync in epim and it waited for connection. Then let the app search again. And again it finds nothing. So i guess i have to start the game again with one port higher.
So now i didnt use the assistant, set the port one port higher, had to restart epim of course and after that i only let the app search and it found epim instantly.

Sometimes default scanning time of 5 seconds isn't enough. You might want to try increasing it in PC Sync Settings and see if it helps. Thanks.

I cant find such setting. Is it only in the pro-version?

But i doubt thats the case since when i changed the port the app can find the pc instantly. So i think 5 seconds are enough time for this wlan. There arent many devices connected to. Max 4 pcs/smartphones.

This setting is in Android EPIM. It mostly depends on the busyness of the network. If it's busy then it might sometime take longer for the auto-detect feature to work.

I checked the options. There is synchronization where you can setup a proxy and there is the actual sync-setting. No timeout that i see. Can you tell where this option is?

Thanks!

I had a similar problem with port numbers. 1e 2114 & 2115. I was in effect running two versions simultaneously by connecting through wifi & with a cable (Local Area Connection), connecting my PC to my phone. Disconnecting the cable solved that problem.

Kubef, please see the screenshot attached, the third option.

elsynco, it should work with any number of ports, you just need to select the right one :)
