I love the relatively new feature that allows you to update radio firmware directly through the app. Because of it, I haven't been checking the Flasher for updates. Now I see that I'm several version behind. My app is still showing 2.7.19 as the latest Alpha. The Flasher has 2.7.24 available. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Does anyone know of a way to get it to update itself? |

My app says latest is 2.7.16 for alpha and 2.7.15 for Beta/stable. 😬 I wonder if the app just has hardcoded "latest" values. My app is the latest F-Droid version which was last updated 5 months ago. |

I have a feeling you're right on the hard-coded version check based on app version. That tracks with OP's observations. I haven't gone past stable firmware so I wouldn't know quite yet... But I'll check my Google play Android app when I get home and can grab my device. |

That makes sense, given what we're seeing. I hope the app will eventually get smarter about upgrades, but I can't complain too much. It's a new feature and a very welcome one. |

Has the app itself been getting updated? Because the only time that it talks about new firmware updates is when the app itself gets updated. And I know for a long time at least the app on Android was not being updated. At least not on fdroid. I have since moved to mesh core, so I haven't checked to see if the app is more up to date now. |

The app has not been updated recently, which must explain this. |

I have the Android app installed via google play. It just updated last week. I can see all Alpha firmware up to the most current 2.7.25 for my Thinknode M1 in the app. Your app may just be too many versions behind. |

I finally got a new version of the app, but it shows 2.7.24 as the most recent Alpha. I think it must just be hardcoded. |

What device are you flashing? Haven't considered that they might not be pushing every Alpha version for every device. |

It's a Heltec T114. I just checked and 2.7.25 is available for the T114, just not from inside the app. |

Has anyone else run into problems using the app to perform firmware updates? I had used the previous version of the app to upgrade several units to 2.7.19. I tried using the new one to update to 2.7.24, but it failed over and over. |

Damn, that definitely supports the hard coded theory. Kinda sucks. |
