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
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.
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 :(
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

@RSNovi are you on iOS or Android?
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.
Trade shows can be fun - I hope there are lots of new things being launched thereI'm at a trade show this week with my rep from Maverick
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.
I really hope they get a Bluetooth or wifi version that is stable... that would be the absolute ticket for my setup.
