If this is the new beta version 4.11.4 for android can someone explain to me how im already on 4.11.7? As surely my version is a higher number?
I'm using a s25ultra and for the last month I've been having nothing but trouble with the tether app.
I've had routers loading up on the 1st main screen on tether then dissapearing, I'll try and get a screen shot of it when it happens again.
It even shows a extra one called tp link but won't let me access it through tether it says I have to connect through the Web GUI then dissapears when I refresh
When ever I allow my kids extra time all my profiles then become unlocked time wise where it just shows me the option to block not unblock.
It also says that another admin is using and if I want to force log them out so I do it even though its only me and ive checked logins history ect and its only me.
I've had that i need to connect to my wifi even though im a couple meters away from the unit and clearly wifi says im connected 🤷🏼♂️
I've had multiple clients show on the client page double sometimes triple.
My client list takes ages to refresh and update.
ive rebooted my router,
Ive cleaned the cache in my phone and problem still happens.
Sometimes i have to close the app and re-open for it to work somewhat.
Yes i use a vpn but its doing it with it disconnected as well as ive excluded tether from the vpn app
This is the latest version of Android im on and there's no new update for me as of yet.
Many thanks 👍🏻

Hello @Basboi85, thank you for bringing this to my attention.
4.11.4 is the latest official version for Android. You're already running the latest Tether App. I will update my thread to notify other users.
Regarding all the unintended behaviors, could you please provide a detailed network topology for better understanding? I can see that there is an AX72. Is it the main router?
Could you please submit the app log from your phone to our support team, and we can investigate it further? After submitting the app log, please provide the ticket ID. Thank you.

The app crashes on iOS 18.5 (iPhone 15 Plus) while watching Game statistic and clicking on Traffic Usage.
Tab Gaming -> Game Statistic -> Traffic Usage -> app closes by itself

Will check and report it to the engineering team for further investigation right now. Could you please help collect the App log on your phone and send it to us via email? Once sent, please provide the ticket ID, and we will then check the logs.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

@Kevin_Z The new Tether app now comes with a lot of features, you can customize the settings to your liking. For those with poor eyesight or who like to read in bold, there is an option to increase the font size. For those who need more contrast, there is a high contrast mode. Screen readers like VoiceOver or TalkBack are also well supported now. This means you can customize the app exactly the way you want it. There is no more rigidity like before, now the app customizes itself to your needs. This has really made it a little more customized and easy to use app.

Hi Kevin,
Sorry for late reply,
I'm currently running 3x AX72 routers.
1x main and 2x in Ap mode.
ONT cat6--- Main (kitchen)
One of my routers is connected via ethernet via outdoor rated cat 6 ( macave ap) and the other is located at the top of my mutli story house Ax72 main--cat6--tp link 24 port unmanaged switch --top floor Ax72.
All ax72's are running low transmission and all have different channels.
I've submitted a ticket for help via the faq and ticked the add the logs box.
As of yet ive not had a confirmation or received a ticket id number
Many thanks
Chris
