no luck

both cameras are set in multi-camera mode

playmem app on android is set to multi-camera mode

i never see anything resembling step 2.3 at http://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/www/disoft/int/playmemories-mobile/en/multi/android.html

instructions are written for actioncams, not qxs, but i am reasonably sure i have gotten past that

next step is uninstall/reinstall app, unless an older android device doesn't have it installed - battery charges now

in the meantime i go awhile out

btw - i can see why the default has the cameras as hotspots - in multicamera mode android device wifi is dedicated to cameras & has no internet - hitting 'help' on playmen app takes you to browser with 'no internet' message :}

So, i guess that's it, the triggering of multiple QXs is not yet implemented in the app or not possible, i must have misunderstood the docs - apologies...

Thank you very much for your time and effort, i appreciate it!

Eventually, i'll probably get the new QX1 anyway and play with the remote API, but probably not too soon... it's a pity the API only works with WiFi, with good old cables the connections would be easier, faster and more reliable too!
