nrf Toolbox app updated now doesnt work on Android

[jerry]

Hi I used your nrf toolbox Uart app to communicate from an Android phone to the module to send and receive bytes. The app was automatically updated a few days ago, now i cant send and receive bytes as I did before. Is the old version available?

I don't need it updated.

Thanks

Also- The old app gave me received data in Hex. It transmitted ascii characters typed into the phone, but listed  both raw and converted Ascii characters received

Hi,

You may find the old APK here: Release nRF Toolbox 2.9.0 · NordicSemiconductor/Android-nRF-Toolbox (github.com)

Why the new app doesn't work for you?

You should be able to create a configuration with a + button, set up 9 buttons and then use them after exiting Edit mode. The data received should be visible in the bottom pane.

Thanks- I have trouble getting the app 2.9.0 from Github. I'm not that familiar with the process of installing into my phone from Github. If i do it from the Android app store, it wants to intall the latest version. I log into Githib on my phone ,open a repository then what? 

Also, the new version translates the data back to Ascii characters. For example, when I send a character to request some data back.(4 bytes) the old app would show 0A 12 24 E6 for example. The new version 3.0.0 sends back  4 Ascii characters of whatever those 4 bytes translate to in Ascii.
