I just got the Beacon for Android.  The app is smooth, but unless I'm missing something, the system is unusable.

I'm using the Beacon with a Nexus One phone.  (The website says it is optimized for phones as well as tablets.)  Every time my phone turns off (two minute time-out) or I move out of range, then when I want to use the Beacon again, I have to reconnect.  The only way to do so that I have found is to press the top of the Dijit for 10 seconds until it begins flashing, then wait a few seconds, then use about three clicks on the phone to convince it to try connecting again (choose the device, confirm, etc.).  It all takes about a minute to re-establish the connection.  I just can't see how this is an acceptable way to use a remote control device.  If you're watching a movie, and have watched for more than 2 minutes, your phone turned off, and someone knocks on the door, can you really go through this connection procedure and wait a minute before pausing the movie?  What am I missing here?  Do more current Android phones have a better way to stay connected to Bluetooth devices?  Is my phone broken?  Or is this just an inevitable and unacceptable limitation of the Beacon?

Secondly, I can't find a way to make "Activities" or macros on the Android app.  Any clues?

Thanks,
