Anyone here use Torque?
I got it on my phone and I thought it was great. All the sensors read accurately and all the dials updated in real time.
So I decided I'd buy a Nexus 7 and do a dash install.
Now I've finally finished doing my dash install and I've turned on Torque for the first time and found that nothing is working properly. The Boost gauge is saying I'm making 40lbs of boost at idle and the tachometer lags behind by about 2 seconds.
What could be causing this?

what car and what sensor
the knockoff $30 bluetooth sensors have a lot of issues because they use non-genuine chips
Is your Bluetooth connection wired correctly?
If you have too many sharp bends the data might get out of the cable

Audi TT and XTRONS sensor
But it can't be either as it works find on my phone.

your phone and your tablet have different bluetooth hardware and drivers anon
cheap fake ELM327 chips negotiate exceedingly poorly and work with some devices but not others
newer software updates on the nexus 7 import drivers which have trouble with fake ELM327 OBDII chips

this is a known issue anon, it's what you get for buying £10 fake chinese shit.
If you had bought something with a real ELM327 chip and proper firmware/drivers like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/ScanTool-427201-OBDLink-Bluetooth-Professional/dp/B00H9S71LW
you'd be fine, especially since this unit supports much faster communication than the fakes. instead, you cheaped out and you got an unreliable product.

Literally what the fuck I paid £5 on ebay
For some reason it started working better once I told it the engine size.
No idea why as that should have no effect on reading sensors relating to boost.

>I paid £5 on ebay
and rather than having a £47 product that works, you have a £5 product that doesn't.
You cannot make an OBDII reader with bluetooth and a real OBDII chip for £5.

>The diagnosis interfaces found on Ebay do not include the original ELM327 chip, even though it often says so on the body housing. The 1.0 version of the ELM327 did not implement copy protection, and the PIC code was copied and widely sold in devices claiming to contain an ELM327 device. Although these pirate clones may contain the ELM327 version 1.0 code, they may falsely report the version number as the current version provided by the genuine ELM327 and in some cases report an as-yet non-existent version. The actual function of these pirate clones is nonetheless limited to the function of the original ELM327 version 1.0, with inherent deficiencies. As a result the diagnosis software might not work with these copies. In that case, the costumer might loose money twice: once for the faulty device and second they might also have bought the relevant software, which they can’t return and can’t use without a new interface.
>WG-Soft had a look at some of the interfaces offered on Ebay. The housing is mostly made of aluminum; part of the package is also a USB driver and some obsolete freeware or demo-version of the software. Once they opened the housing, they discovered, to no ones surprise, that the interfaces don’t include an original ELM327 chip. That makes sense, since the chip costs a bulk buyer about €20. The Chinese copy of the whole device plus cable costs between US-$10 and US-$20 and can be found for US-$20 to US-$80 on Ebay. This is possible because neither the Chinese manufacturer nor the retailer have any development expenses, or have to pay for, or develop software. They also don’t have to worry about customer support.
