I paired my kickr gen1 to the android beta app. I made sure it was paired for both power and resistance. I had already force stopped the companion app and unplugged the apple tv. I haven’t run any other apps that might pair to the kickr.

I tried to do a spin down but it failed over and over. The speed readout would stall at 3mph even though the Kickr had stopped spinning. I tried 6 times without success before giving up.

In-game while free riding in sim mode there was no resistance change with grade changes even though I set the resistance slider in settings to max. I also tried a workout in erg mode. I made sure that the erg mode radio button was checked, but the kickr did not adjust resistance to achieve the target wattages.

I too am having this problem. I have been using my Kickr Gen1 successfully for years in my PC based Zwift-cave, but I decided to drag the Kickr with me on vacation this week and use it with Android Zwift on my Galaxy S8+ over the week. Unfortunately, I’m also not getting any resistance changes during the ride.
