I just got this from Kevin at TechArt:
______________
The main update for V4 is the focusing performance as well as reducing the
“down” time (sometimes the adapter will fail to move and need to re-insert
the battery to reboot)
Can you try using this updated app again? We have found that the previous
beta app may not work with some android phones..
http://techartpro.com/0831-LM-EA7-Config.apk
______________
BTW: The above link is for the LM-EA7 'Configuration' app, where we should able to change pre-programmed aperture settings. The previous version I posted here was not working with my Android's device.

Thanks Fred.
I find switching the camera off and on, possibly waiting a few seconds, is all I need to get the adapter moving again.
The same seems to work when the camera goes dead/dark.
I encounter these problems mainly when shooting at a high frame rate and the images are still being written to the card.
K-H.

I have just ordered the TAP. Looking forward to testing this adapter on my Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 ZM, Leica 90 Macro-Elmar F4 and my Leica 135 Tele-Elmar F4. Hopfully it will work on all tree lenses?

Will there be another version for iOS?

So that was my issue it would just fail and I turned camera off and on. Sounds like they addressed that. Awesome

Version 4 firmware. Hope your sitting down as this is news. I'm sitting on back patio and have about 5 targets to focus on and AFS first off is as fast as AFC. Now the fun part it's faster than my GM 85 1.4 and at least equal to the new 50 1.4. I have my ZM 35 1.4 on the techArt. Center point medium both AFS and AFC. I actually think AFS is faster but I don't want to make that call.
So major improvement both in focus speed and in AFS and both seem very accurate. This folks IMHO is a huge update

Thanks Guy.
In dim light I still find that I need to give it sometimes time to finish its focusing iteration though.
But I agree the adapter is improved with version 4.
K-H.

I've been doing some testing as well. My Leica R 28/2.8, CV15/4.5, CY35-70/3.4 all are consistent with your findings as well. So far, I've only shot in AF-S mode and with Version 4, I no longer notice the difference between native and adapted!

If we knew more about the expected life of this adapter, one could conceivably go all adapted with legacy glass!

On the old FW 3.0 I get battery drain with the OEM battery sometimes, others not. If a drain usually about 10-15% overnight with the OEM battery.
With one particular Wasabi battery I get no battery drain at all, but #2 Wasabi battery a slight drain, like 4-5% overnight = weird.

I am almost there now.
I have 3 Canon EF lenses remaining.
No FE Sony lenses at all.
One of my EF lenses is a Tamron 24-135mm which is a great range. I kept it because it is sharp in the corners at 24mm, but I also have an adaptall 28-135mm lens which is nice...

I don't know but you can use small, light, top end glass with AF and close focusing. I'm not saying I would do it but it's working so well that you could.
