Then I figured out I needed to make a wireless connection (port 9090) to get the metadata. Did that and it then allowed me to add a "#genre" column. This started a database update but unfortunately the code appears to have a bug as it's stuck in a loop constantly displaying "Database upgrade book x of 10", when x gets to 10, it starts over at 1. it's been looping like this for the last 20 minutes and while it's looping it shows "grouping disabled" so I can't see what the grouping is.

I'm guessing this is a bug related to the demo being limited to 10 titles but I'm not really inclined to buy the full version unless I can see whether the demo will work for me.
There are ways to get more than 10 books into the demo version. It appears that you found at least one of them. However, CC tries hard to show only 10, leaving the rest of the books in limbo. That is what is happening to you. Most of CC is refusing to deal with the extra books, but the database upgrade checker is not.

To test grouping you need to clear out the extra books. I recommend you do one of the following:

Option 1:
1) (Optional) In CC, go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, and backup your settings.
2) In Android settings, go to Apps, find CC Demo, and clear data. This will empty your database.
3) Using a file manager, delete the Calibre_Companion folder so that the books you have already downloaded are truly gone.
4) Start CC. Restore the settings
5) Connect as a wireless device and send less than 10 books.

You will be able to play with the grouping drawer.

Option 2:
1) In CC, tap on books to look at book details and delete them until the "You have exceeded" message goes away. I have no idea how many books must be deleted.

At this point the upgrade will finish.
