Okay, I don't know what happened with my device yesterday then. I was driving to work with aniOn on the screen, and my tablet went to sleep 30 minutes into my drive. I've adjusted some settings on my tablet, and so far it doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. Yes, I am only using it for caniOn...

Thank you all for your informative replies! I definitely see where my thinking needed some help understanding all the complexities. PV1, your response was uber informative. My thinking was geared more to the grid-assist system you described. Possibly purchasing/installing the battery storage...

So, I was just about to post an off-topic reply to this post from PV1. But I decided to start my own topic over in the Off-Topic forum instead: http://myimiev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2835

I am starting this new thread to discuss a thought I had after reading PV1's post in the "Batteries & Battery Management" forum.. With my next electric billing cycle, I will be switching to my utility's Residential Real-Time Pricing program, which bills your electricity usage by the hour at...

It was weird. I had previously gone into the Settings for Display and set the Sleep setting to "Never Timeout." So, I have no idea why it still went to sleep while CaniOn was running. However, it did, exactly 30 minutes into my drive. I have now enabled the developer settings and set the tablet...

Okay, that was easy. Figured out how to enable developer options and set tablet to never go to sleep when charging. Sorry, Android newbie here just figuring out how things work!

Okay, so am I missing something with the "Trip Timer" panel? Is there any way to prevent if from resetting all the metrics every time the app is closed/opened or whenever there is a disruption to the bluetooth or USB power supply? Every time I turn off my car and turn it back on, the Trip Timer...

My ODB2 device was delivered last night. Paired everything up with my Android tablet and started getting some nice-looking data. I like this. However, I am having some issues with the app. Most notably, the screen frequently completely freezes up and the metrics no longer update. After finally...

Thank you for your response, PV1. That clears it up for me. I must have just been remembering things wrong. For some reason, I was *mistakenly* remembering that it would automatically delay the charge the same amount each time I plugged. Now that my memory has been jogged, you are correct. I now...

I have a question for setting the delayed charging command. It was my understanding that when you set a delayed charging time (2.5H from now in Don's video, for example), the iMiEV would retain that delayed timer setting every time you plugged the car in. Meaning, every time you plugged the car...

Is there a recommended navigation tool that can be geared more toward driving an EV on the most efficient routes possible? Is there anything like Google Maps that gives you the options to select shortest routes, filter for ranges of speed limits, avoid tollways/highways, etc.? I want to find...

Still waiting for my ODBII LX to be deliverd. So, haven't had a chance to try CaniOn in operation yet. In the meantime, I was wondering how everyone uses CaniOn to improve the efficiency of their driving style in the iMiEV? Or do you use it strictly for metrics and not necessarily for real-time...

This is the reason I prefer to "run the gates" and use the progressively more powerful regen in each drive mode rather than move my foot over to the brake pedal. I can never tell at what point the friction brakes engage. By taking my foot off the go-pedal and downshifting, I know for sure that I...

I also found the app "Droid Automation" that appears to automate all these tasks, too.

Can you please detail how you got your device to do this? I am an all-Apple guy and have no experience customizing an Android device. I just bought a tablet yesterday to use exclusively for CaniOn in my Meepster. Since that's all it will be used for, I would like it to behave just as you have...

Okay. Well, then, I have no idea what the issue was with the tablet I originally purchased then. It was an RCA 7" tablet with 1024x600 resolution. It had the newer 5.0 Lollipop OS on it. So, I assumed it should be able to handle any app in the Play store. I suppose I could have messed around and...

So. Freaking. Jealous!

So, I went to Walmart on my lunch break and bought a cheapo RCA 7" Android 5.0 Lollipop tablet. I also ordered the ODBII LX device from ScanTools. Now just to load the Canion app and wait for the ODB tool to get here. Can't wait to see all this juicy data I've been missing out on! UPDATE: Just...

Never mind. I just went out and bought a cheap Android 5.0 tablet from Walmart during my lunch break. Ordered the ODBII Lx device, too. Now to load Canion on the tablet and hurry up and wait for the ODB tool.

This may have been asked/addressed previously in this 48-page thread, but I can't find it doing a search. Can you load and run the Canion app on an Amazon Kindle? I have a spare one of those devices laying around, but no other Android device at the time.
