Thanks for the feedback. I just tried Stratux firmware 1.6r1-eu026-us and got the same result that I got before. I can see the Stratux in my Android tablet web browswer but iFlyGPS on the same table doesn't communicate witht the Stratux.

I would suggest sending a bug report to the Adventure Pilot folks:
 

First, turn on ADSB logging (Menu > Setup > ADS/B > Options > Enable ADS-B Logger), then exit iFly.  Next, restart iFly, answer "yes" when the "Do you want to keep ADS-B logging enabled?" dialog appears, let it run for a few minutes, and then exit.  Then use your favorite Android file manager app (I use Total Commander; you may also need to take steps to enable full access to the Android file system) to navigate to the logs folder.  On my Android 11 device, it's:
///_Android_data/iFly.GPS/files/iFly/#Logs

Grab the "Adsb_<date+time>.bin" and "log_<date+time>.txt" files and copy them to a folder that's easier to access from other apps.  Send an email to "log<at>adventurepilot<dot>com" with a description of your issue, a reference to this forum post, and the two log files attached.

I just pulled out my old Android tablet. It is running Android 6.0.1 and iFlyGPS version 11.0.74. My old tablet connects to the Stratux just fine.

My newer, problematic Android tablet is running Android 7.0 and iFlyGPS version 11.1.26. It still won't connect to the Stratux.

I'll bet one or the other software versions are the culprit.

I pulled out an old tablet and updated iFlyGPS to the latest, 11.1.26. The latest iFlyGPS on the old tablet connects to the Stratux without any problems. The old tablet reports itself to be Android 6.0.1. The newer tablet that doesn't work reports itself to be Android 7.0. Sounds like some incompatibility between iFlyGPS and this newer Android.

"Newer" is a relative term, since the current Android version is 11.  

Have you tried looking at Android's App Permissions settings for iFly to see if there's anything being blocked there?

The logs should have info to help AP see where the problem is occurring and possibly how to resolve it.  If you haven't done that yet, I still recommend doing so.
