This should be more or less the same code as on the desktop - do you
have the same behavior there? Or does it switch back once the download
is finished?
Maybe BT on Android needs an extra "I mean it" call in order to close the
connection? I haven't noticed this with the Shearwater...

It is working on many phones. Thanks for bringing this up. We need to address
the issues with the Pixel phones - and we need to enable all those dive computers
in the drop down.

It would be lovely if someone else could work on that since I have no device
to test this with :-(
