[Android App] CC: Found more than one calibre
When I connect my Droid Razr to CC, I get a message:
found more than one calibre: Calibre smart device client (on Becca-PC) Calibre smart device client (on Becca-PC) I can pick any one and CC connects just fine. I only have one instance of Calibre running on my computer. I'm not sure what this means, and it's a minor thing, but I'm curious. |

I had this happen with a video streaming app and connecting to the wireless vs the wired made a difference since the bandwidth required on the network for the video was so large. Most likely picking either won't make a difference to you since the data bandwidth required for calibre is relatively low. You can fix this by disabling the wireless when you are connected to your wired network. Good Reading! |

I'm confused. I didn't have my phone wired connected to my computer and thence to calibre that way. I had the wifi on on the phone, and the wireless device connected through the connect/share icon. I don't see how that could be two instances, and I'm not sure how to disable the wireless.
as i say, it's a small thing, but potentially confusing. |

Does your computer have wifi? If so, what happens if you turn it off? If dwanthny is correct, and I think he is, then after turning off wifi you will see only one calibre from CC. In addition, your computer's networking performance could improve. Cabled connections are far preferable to wifi connections. If your computer has both a cabled connection and a wifi connection and for some reason you want to leave wifi on, then you should probably unplug the cable. Alternatively, your computer might have some setting that tells it to automatically disable wifi when a cable is plugged in. I have no idea where such a setting might be, if it exists at all. |

My computer has wifi, but it's hard-wired in. I do have a wireless mouse - could that be causing the duplication?

If this is a laptop you take on the road be aware that you will have to re-enable wifi if you want to link via wireless away from your house. |

If you are using Wired: find the control panel (usually in network adapter configuration) for the Wifi and simply Disable it (or configure to NOT connect automaticly).
