I have the galaxy s5 and the 735. No problem with distance. I checked it out to 65 feet and didn't have any problems so far.

I did a 17 hour smoke last night and the Maverick 735 work flawless during the entire smoke.  I am quite happy with it.  Plus I like that I can also easily change devices monitoring the temp midway through the smoke.

After having it on for 17 hours I was a little worried about battery life.  The battery indicator still said full afterwards.
 
i had an older samsung and thought that may have been the issue but even with my s6 I cannot keep a connection 

my main issue is the difference in temps

i noticed the 735 was the same temp as my wsm thermometer

i unplugged the probe from the 735 and immediately plugged it into the 732 and the temperature shot up 20 degrees 

did that on a couple of different smokes with the exact same outcome 

got a great deal with todd so i'm going to find a job for this thermometer eventually but it wont be my go to 
 
 
I'm a mobile app developer and can say that the S5 is your issue...I was working on a bluetooth compatible app a few months ago and the S5 and a couple other Samsung phones just did not want to work. Glad you got it working with your other devices.
I'm a developer as well and as i've been researching the 735 i was concerned how compatible with all devices they may have been. Hopefully with enough people on the S5 and Android in general they keep making patches to fix issues. Because i really wanna get this Thermo
 
FYI.....

I keep track of these issues and pass them on to Maverick

If you're having an issue with the New Maverick ET-735, post the issue

Todd, did the maverick rep happen to mention if their dev team is keeping track and fixing issues as they come in? I know sometimes in the app development world some people tend to go the easy route and fully support the devices that work best (in this case iOS) and suggest using those instead of fixing issues with others :(

@RSNovi  are you on iOS or Android?

I have a S5 and i was about to pull the trigger on this this purchase, ordering through you @TJohnson  :). But if they are still working out bugs i might hold off. 
 
I'm at a trade show this week with my rep from Maverick
Trade shows can be fun - I hope there are lots of new things being launched there

Have to say i purchased the ET-735 for my htc one m8 and nothing but hassle with it not connecting, dropping the connection not reconnecting etc etc, its one of those wish i hadn't purchased it items,

ive spent more time trying to get the thing to work than smoking!

when it does connect its a rush to change the settings on the probes and then i just switch the phone off now and have to keep going back to the smoker to check the temperature, would like to get the 2 extra probes but i im finding it difficult to hand over any money to a manufacturer that ive just purchased a  totally useless "wireless" piece of kit from

it does state on the website it is compatible with the HTC one m8..TRUST ME ITS NOT!

sadly the cost of returning it means its just not an option, so im stuck with it

Good afternoon,

Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, the ET-735 isn't compatible with the Galaxy S6 yet,  but we're working on it.
 

   Thank you,

A month in and time for a new report.

I am still having issues.  I have given up on using it with my Samsung S5, but I still use it with my Samsung Tab 3.

Connectivity is hit or miss, no difference if I am 5 feet away or 25 feet away.  It comes and goes.  Close the app, reopen, wait to see if the device it self is recognized, if yes, then wait to see  if the obviously plugged in probes are recognized.  

the temperature accuracy is not an issue, it seems quite accurate.

Connectivity is the issue and continues to be.

I have not noticed any updates to the application.  Has anyone else noticed updates or version numbers?
 
I have a LOT of Bluetooth devices sitting around at home that I could use, if my main phone gives me issues. lots of prior generation smartphones, a few tablets, etc. maybe when one of my 732s or 733s go out, I will give one of these a whirl.
 
I was in the back basement and lost connection. The problem is that if the unit loses connection after a period of time it shuts down the Bluetooth communication for good and I have to go to the unit and turn it back on. Probably does this to save battery. I would prefer the timeout to be much longer than what it is.
 
 
I really hope they get a Bluetooth or wifi version that is stable... that would be the absolute ticket for my setup.
I wouldn't anticipate a stable bluetooth unit any time soon. The signal strength on bluetooth devices is just too weak. Wifi can work great if you have a strong enough network but most of the current wifi thermos are double or triple the cost of bluetooth or rf units. For now I will stick with rf devices as they work great at my house.
 
 
my et-732 works marginally for my setup, but good enough connection in my back family room that I can follow whats going on. every now and then i'll briefly lose signal, but it will come back within a minute or two (though the unit chirps annoyingly).

my et-7 doesn't have nearly the range, so that is in backup duty.  I have pretty good wifi on my entire property, as my garage is somewhat my man cave.
 
i got this ET-735 earlier this month and cannot keep a connection with my galaxy note 3 w/ lollipop (android 5)

i have to leave my phone about 15 -20 feet from unit and still every now and then loose connection to probes

and maybe unit

temps are pretty much accurate when it works.

my bedroom is 20ft from where my smoker is but on a second floor and i works as long as its by an open window

some times i loose connection

 i also found out the app will not work with my tablet (motorola zoom  w last firmware i think 4.2) i'll try with my wifes galaxy note 10.1 later
