Android

• Download MIDI BLE Connect or Bluetooth MIDI Connect app from the Play store.
  
• Scan for a device called WOOVE and pair with it.
• Keep the app open in the background.
• You may need to enable Location Services and/or Bluetooth Scanning in your settings.
• You may need to disable/change your lock screen timeout in order for your browser not to go to sleep.
  

You can now use your Woovebox with Wooveconnect to transfer songs, patterns and other data, as well as any Android apps that support MIDI over BLE.

Please note that some users reported that they had to uninstall other android apps that were registered as MIDI devices.

Some Android devices with bad drivers (e.g. latest Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel series) disconnect after only a few % receiving data. These devices may benefit from being "spoon-fed" data a bit slower as to not overwhelm their drivers. If you have such a device, try using this link; https://connect.woovebox.com/?interval=100. You may change the interval parameter (100) to something longer if needed.

If your Woovebox permanently reports "pakt loss" (e.g. caused by your Android device discarding packets) without continuing, you can try this link https://connect.woovebox.com/?chunksize=512&packetsizemultiplier=4 to "spoon feed" the Android device' BLE radio packets. Your Woovebox can recover from sporadic packet loss by detecting a missing packet and re-requesting the packets.

In the case of Wooveconnect, if Chrome hangs at "requesting MIDI access", shut down chrome (or reload the page, possibly revoking permissions first by clicking the icon next to the address in the addres bar), ensure MIDI BLE Connect or Bluetooth MIDI Connect are running in the background, and restart Chrome.

A long standing issue prevents BLE from working reliably at all on many Android devices since Android 13 (e.g. Pixel). Please let Google know a broken Bluetooth stack is unacceptable.
