Thanks for reporting but I'm still not able to replicate. I'm using v4.0 below:

Above, the device is seen and connected to over Bluetooth.

Bluetooth is the primary way users connect to our devices to get NMEA and we haven't heard any other issues so I don't suspect it's a firmware issue. But then you say v1.6 is working for you. If v1.6 is working for you, please continue to use it.

I'm finally getting around to upgrading from f/w 3.10 to 4.0. I'm running SurvPC 7.0 on a Panasonic Toughpad running W10.

I connected SurvPC to my Facet f/w 3.10 via Bluetooth. SurvPC successfully received and parsed the NMEA data.

I upgraded my Facet to f/w 4.0 via the WiFi config - the upgrade worked flawlessly, very nice.

I connected SurvPC to my Facet f/w 4.0 via Bluetooth. Again, SurvPC successfully received and parsed the NMEA data.

When I connect to Windows, I need to configure the Facet to use Bluetooth SPP. When I connect to an iPhone, I need to configure the Facet to BLE. That's my only hiccup in getting Facet connected via Bluetooth.
