Once a week or so, it's probably a good idea to make sure all of the apps and the Android OS on your tablets are up to date. By default, most tablets are set to only check and perform updates when on WiFi and not over cellular. If the WiFi is disabled on your tablets (which is generally a pretty good practice to prevent issues caused by poor WiFi connections and transitions to/from cellular network), then the tablet may not be notifying you or updating everything like it should. Follow the steps below to do a checkup and app update.
- From base, turn on the WiFi on the tablet and connect (if not already on).
- Open the Play Store app, check for updates and perform the updates.
- Once the Easy Rides Driver Manifest app updates or installs, open the app
- From the app login screen, swipe down from the MIDDLE of the screen NOT from the top. This should reveal the app menu button.
- Tap Clear Cache. This should reload the login screen.
- Go to the tablet settings (not the app settings).
- Tap on Apps then "Application Manager" and locate the MLS app.
- Tap on the MLS App then Permissions.
- Enable Location if not already enabled.
- Go back to the main settings menu and find "Location" and tap on it.
- Make sure Location is Enabled. If you want the WiFi radio on the tablet to stay OFF until you turn it on, tap on Locating Method and tap "Tablet Only". Otherwise, "High Accuracy" is fine (and is Google's preferred mode) but it uses more battery and depending on settings, could disconnect the tablet from cellular networks in favor of whatever WiFi it finds to connect to. Generally, "Tablet Only" is the preferred option for this kind of work.
- Open Google Maps and tap the Location Icon to see if it centers the map on your current location. You may see a message from Google to "Allow Location" even if your location setting is already on and on "Tablet Only". You can tap on the popup and tap Cancel if you want to stay on "Tablet Only" location and verify that it still has you accurately in the correct location. If you tap "OK" then Google will turn on "High Accuracy Mode" on the tablet and may then later enable the WiFi radio even if you've got it turned off.
- Go back to the main settings menu and find "Sounds and vibration" and tap on it.
- Tap on "Volume" and make sure that "Media" volume is up all the way. Media volume is what is used for the notification sound (bird sounds) that is used by the manifest app - NOT "Notifications" as you might think.
- Go to the manifest app and run it. It should now be ready to login and function normally.
