Troubleshooting: Hypershell+ App Can’t Connect to Your Hypershell XUpdated 11 days ago

If you're having trouble connecting your Hypershell X to the Hypershell+ App, this step-by-step guide will help you identify and resolve the issue quickly.


Common Issues You May Experience

Here are some of the most common app and connectivity problems customers encounter:

  • The Hypershell+ App can’t find the device

  • The Bluetooth connection fails or disconnects

  • The device doesn’t appear under “Add Device” in the app

  • The connection is successful, but then drops

  • The app connects to another phone, but not the main one

  • The device LED doesn’t light up when trying to pair

  • You see a red blinking light when trying to connect

If any of these sound familiar, follow the steps below to resolve them.


Step 1: Make Sure Your App is Updated

Before troubleshooting, ensure your Hypershell+ App is updated to the latest version.

  • Open the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android)

  • Search for Hypershell+

  • If an update is available, install it

Older app versions may prevent your phone from detecting or connecting to the device.


Step 2: Confirm Your Phone Settings

If you’re using an iPhone (iOS):

  • Bluetooth is turned on

  • Location access is set to "While Using the App" or "Always."

  • Bluetooth access is allowed for the Hypershell+ App

  • Your phone is within 2–3 meters of the device

Check these in: Settings > Hypershell+ App


If you’re using an Android phone:

  • Bluetooth is turned on

  • Location Services are enabled

  • Permissions are enabled for:

    • Nearby Devices

    • Location

  • Battery optimization is disabled for the Hypershell+ App

  • Your phone is within 2–3 meters of the device

Check these in:
Settings > Apps > Hypershell+ > Permissions
Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization > Don’t optimize


Step 3: Check the Device’s Bluetooth Light

Look at the LED indicator on the right leg lever of your Hypershell X.

LED LightWhat It Means
Waving blueThe device is in Bluetooth pairing mode
Solid blueThe device is already connected
Blinking redThe battery is too low to connect
No lightThe device is off or not charging
  • If there's no light, press and hold the control button for 2 seconds to turn it on.

  • If it’s blinking red, plug it into the charger and let it charge for at least 20 minutes before retrying.


Step 4: Start the Pairing Process

Once the device is powered on and ready:

  1. Open the Hypershell+ App

  2. Tap Device > Add Device

  3. Stay close to the exoskeleton (within 2 meters)

  4. Wait for the device to appear in the list

If pairing is successful, you're all set. If it fails or doesn’t show up, continue below.


Step 5: Clear Previous Bluetooth Connections

Old pairings may interfere with new ones. Please:

  1. Open your phone’s Bluetooth settings

  2. Tap Forget/Remove for any saved “Hypershell” devices

  3. Restart both your phone and Hypershell X

  4. Try pairing again in the Hypershell+ App


Step 6: Reset the Device (if needed)

Still not working? You can perform a factory reset:

  1. Open the Hypershell+ App

  2. Go to Settings > Device > Factory Reset

  3. After resetting, power the device back on and try pairing again


Step 7: Try Another Phone (Cross-Test)

If you have another smartphone available:

  1. Install the Hypershell+ App

  2. Log in with your account

  3. Enable Bluetooth and location permissions

  4. Try pairing the same Hypershell X

If the connection works on a second phone:
Your original phone may have software conflicts or blocked permissions. Consider resetting Bluetooth settings or using the working phone.

If the connection still fails:
Continue to the next step to contact our support team.
