Still nothing. Posted on main Books & Equipment forum hoping someone has experienced this.  I don't mind being embarrassed if it's something simple. When I ordered it my one goal was to be able to play on chess.comshock.png

Cheers!

How do I send a photo on here please?

HHD3

try saving it as a photo on your phone, then email that photo to yourself. Use that to upload.

HongPawnPhooey

Nope. Can't do it. I'm not tech savvy!!

When you go into chess.com settings do you not have the 'connected boards' option in the menu? 

HHD3

Yes, but when I progress from there I have no boards listed and no way to apparent way to search for one.

You do not have a BlueTooth symbol in the status bar up near the WiFi symbol. 

Every Android device I have ever had back to my HTC Hero in the 2009 has had that symbol when BT was turned on. 

Positive that BT is turned on in the Android settings? 

 

 

 

HHD3

Yes, I swear it is on without the BT icon. It is exactly this way when playing on WP. Reaching my limit, thanks for continuing to try to help

Do you have a link? I cannot find that model on Amazon. I might grab one to test with. I might be able to expense it with work since we just started pushing customers to use Android. 

HHD3

Thank you but pls don't fret...this tablet works fine w/White Pawn and the DGT app to lichess.

Thanks @HHD3 - after running the reviews through Fakespot I think I will pass.

Which Android tablet (precisely) is successful for others? Perhaps it's my tablet

Weird, I was just going to ask this in a new topic so everyone can post their experiences with various tablets. 

I use this one, it is discontinued now though - Samsung Tab A (2016), model SM-T580 and I think it has the last OS upgrade it can get. 

I picked it up for dirt cheap at Walmart one day, I think it was mismarked but it went through for $99 US so ... 

I picked it up

OK, just had my second game in a row on Lichess with the Peg and my Samsung tablet where it lost the board position after a few moves. 

Not sure if it is the pieces (they are one of my customized sets) or something else. 

Board fully charged to 100%, DGT app still had a connection, just did not register the move. 

Frustrating.

There are now 5 identified with this exact issue: also @wooksoon, @neidertudorf, @frhunter13, and @geert_smit. If anyone finds a solution, please let us know.

Sorry, but chess.com support is useless.

Has been for years.
