My firmware update is taking more than a few minutes

A firmware update should only take a few minutes. If it's ‘hanging’ or is stuck on the loading wheel or loading bar then it’s likely that your phone and doppel have become unpaired before the update completed.

If the update did not complete, you might notice that your doppel’s touch controls are unresponsive, or that it doesn’t buzz when you put it on the charging base. Don’t worry, if this happens it's because your doppel is now stuck in 'DFU bootloader mode' -  it's essentially sitting in a state where it's waiting for information.

How do I resolve this?

If this happens, first close the app, then open it again and try and scan for your doppel on the My doppel page. The app should find your doppel. Once paired, navigate to My settings and run the firmware update/reset again. This should solve the problem, if not please try the same steps by force quitting the app.

How do I force quit the app?

If you are using an iPhone double click the home button, all of your apps will display in a deck format, swipe up over the doppel app to force quit. If you have the iPhone X, simply hold your home "button" for a few seconds and when the deck of apps appears on screen click the red icon at the top left corner of the doppel app to force quit.

If you are using an Android phone, launch your recent applications menu, scroll to find the doppel app, then swipe right to force close the app.

Force quit the app for Android

If you are using an Android phone, launch your recent applications menu, scroll to find the doppel app, then swipe right to force close the app. You can also try the steps below.

1. Open settings app
2. Choose Apps
3. Select the Running tab to view only active or running apps
4. Select the doppel app
5. Click the Stop or Force Stop button.

I've followed these steps but nothing has improved
