Any success with connecting Deus to Google Pixel phone? They claim it will work only on Android devices with Snapdragon or Kirin processor? Update: I was able to connect Deus II RC and WS4 to my Google Pixel 7a.

You can create a new account and try it for free - with different e-mail. They have another bug in their system. I created an account when updating Deus to V2. I have never installed this application before, so my trial period couldn't have expired. They released it Yesterday, don't they?

No good for me... In multi:

Nokta Accu point = everything wrong. Turn on/off button is at the wrong place. I would have to turn it on and then grab it in a different way. Regarding display. There is a reason, only chinese pin pointers have display. It's small, color is useless and you will see nothing on it at a sunny day. It will scratch and leak water. You are not able to change settings without staring at the display. Bluetooth connection to your phone or control unit(Deus) is the way to go. Setting is overly complicated. It's just a pinpointer, not a scientific calculator...

Where the heck can I buy it? I can find only some .ru sites...

NOT my clock! I did like General program in previous versions. It used to deal with wet ground better than other programs and it also found modern coins with iron core. V1.1 General seems quite unstable on wet ground. It also hides modern coins. So I switched to Sensitive FT. I played with Square tones for some time, but I don't see any real advantage => I'm back to default PWM. I will stay with v1.1 because of "stronger" Audio response configuration. Something, they've probably changed from version .51 to .6.

It can be harder than it looks. I've seen this in different industry sectors. They can not rerelease it with same UI/UX, same weight, same form factor. They need to update all hardware components. Modernize user experience, add predefined programs, simplify configuration, fix bugs etc. V3i was introduced in 2009, so it had to be in development a few years before. It also means, that there is probably nobody around, that knows the current code. It was made with coding language and tools available at that time. They are very probably not updated anymore -> they would need to completely rewrite whole codebase to be able to use modern processors and development tools. If there are routines in a very low language, like assembler, there is not many people able to decipher it. So they practically have to build a new detector from scratch. Including modifying product specification and hundreds/thousands? of testing hours. They have never developed such a complex machine like Spectra. Do you think, that same team, that created Apex will creatre new, improved Spectra, that hides all the complex settings behind simple and user friendly UI?

Yeah, I'm affraid I desperately need this...

Although I basicaly agree, it probably wouldn't be multifrequency-ready. So it would be sort of emergency solution, until new HF coil is released. There also can be a new version of communication protocol between coil and remote, that is not backwards compatible. If so, they would have to implement communication with older coils separately -> more bugs, delays. Another thing, that we don't know - hardware transmitter/receiver can be incompatible too. So they would have to add second receiver to RC? If so, it doesn't make sense either. Old HF coils had quite a lot of issues with batteries. I would rather have new, optimised coils with improved reliability, than making everything compatible with old tech...

Versa is available for order in Poland. Should be shipped in 2 weeks. Price 3290 PLN. https://www.rutus.com.pl/pl/page/69/versa https://www.facebook.com/RUTUSMetalDetectors/

I'm crazy. I would bet on Two Box setup. They write about EXTREMES. It should be something more, than smaller/larger coil... Or maybe they fixed the clock? That would be extreme!

I remember, I've read under some YT video, that Minelab will release CTX successor at the end of the year. It should be named Minelab Ultimate. Maybe, they are working on this, and Manticore is on another track? Doesn't make sense. But all of Minelab's steps, mentioned above, don't make sense...

It's a shame, that XP doesn't inform us about parameter changes - silencer, audio response, etc. It looks we have to find out by ourselves...

I was out with new version Yesterday. I have a feeling that audio response is a little bit "stronger" than before. I had quite loud signal, but it was only a small piece of something. Also other signals were bigger/stronger. Like I had v.71 and boosted audio response from 4 to 6. What are your observations regarding audio response compared to previous version?
