So, are the people who bought the lights getting the updated driver? Mines currently in transit. It shipped last week.
Johnny is right, I have been dragging my feet putting in the new driver. Except for not being able to program the lowest non-PWM mode and the next two higher, my light programs and functions beautifully so, I'm reluctant to tear apart a light that works so well.
The thing is, I have to do it, sooner rather than later. I'm using the very first version app to hit Play Store and if I update, it won't work with the old driver. My bad for putting it off. The thing is, unlike the other guys, my light usually connects on the very first try and accepts new profiles without a hitch. It's actually got a foot, and sometimes almost three feet range.
Not trying to justify my tardiness but my example is pretty dang stable as is. They've had me hopping at work but I think I'll be able to do it tomorrow night. Sorry I haven't been more communicative but Johnny and _the_ have put this extra time to good use, working through all the issues. It's actually a good thing the problems happened to the other guys' lights because they are much more qualified than Foy. They've really gone the extra mile helping Fastech get this right.

I got mine today and it was connecting, but now it’s the same as Johnny’s. it pairs up no problem, but the app immediately fails when I tap connect. The issue has been reported to Fasttech.
I am not sure, but I think I might have set the light down on its tail while connected to it. The ZY-T08 is know for mode-switching when tapped on the tail end. This is what happened (I had the light on high using the cool remote control feature), and the light immediately turned off, and has not connected since.
If I had a pre-release driver, I would not report this here. Since this is a released driver and many of us now or will soon have them, I feel it is important to inform everyone of what has happened without concluding that something is wrong or broken.
Until I get a response from Fasttech, I’m not going to jumping to conclusions. it is possible that I messed up somehow and there is a simple solution.
@Relic38, there is no Android crash reports received. Are you using the Windows application? We are interested in the crash message — I’ll try to find your ticket now.
Hi Fasttech,
It doesn’t crash, it just doesn’t connect. I had to email the ticket, for some reason I could not enter one through the online form. PM me if you cannot find it, I’ll resend.
Android.
OK, Thanks I’m using the PC app myself on a Retail unit and it works just fine……I’m pleased with it so far.
PC App will connect to the device, but it goes downhill from there.
I’ll work this out with Fasttech support and report the results here.
Relic38, we have got your message and ticket. From your screenshots the Windows app is able to connect and show voltage/temperature, but it can’t pull profiles.
We have determined that this is caused by the apps not correctly handling memory corruptions caused by the power interruption. Please test the updated Windows/Android apps we have sent you and see if they corrects the situation.
Thanks!
Just received the light... didnt have time yet to check it out..
I hope to do that very soon.
thanks Fasttech!
Good news, the updated PC app is working fine now. I can read and write profiles at will. Nice!
Bad news, the Android app is still not connecting. Looks like a service issue. Ticket updated with new screen shot.
Some fun modes, just fooling around. The Apps need to add a way for people to save their profiles for sharing. I suppose the .xml file would accomplish that, maybe.
I kind of like them though, especially pulse2; It’s like a heartbeat.
Sounds good, I’m glad it’s working for you; I guess FT will update the app on their product page.
Edit: I just seen they did update the app on their product page 
Thank you for your update Relic38. According to your latest error Unable to Start Service Discovery, it seems that the Android app problem has to do with the OS itself, or the Bluetooth stack on your phone.
This is an Android OS/Bluetooth stack (bluez) issue that exists on certain phones. We’re trying to find a workaround.
In the meantime, please try the following:
- Unpair the FLEXasgard flashlight from Settings > Bluetooth
- Reboot your phone
- Pair the flashlight again
If it still doesn’t work, try to unpair/pair trick again. Once you’ve got it working again, it will work for a while before it stops working. Again, this is an Android OS/Bluetooth stack issue. We will try to release a workaround via an updated app.
Windows Tool looking nice Can’t wait to get mine…

samsung galaxy s3, latest software available to me, pairs fine, uploads profiles fine couldn’t be happier, I’d say this is the best off the shelf iteration of the zy-t08, its gone straight into my daysac for further playing testing
Now I can't wait to get home from work and test it out for myself! Sure better work! LOL
ok a little advice, when playing with the advanced modes, be sure to set one lowish solid mode, if not, you may find yourself in a situation where the light appears not to turn on at all, then you might have to go out to your van and get your meter and you might have to bell out the switch to determine if its on or off and you might have to screw around a little then find it suddenly reverts back to previous programmed mode, which might have been your thrower profile ie 100% forever and you might have been looking at it when it turned on and you might be seeing a big purple spot for a while, you might then wish you’d planned ahead a little. ……
