Not a big problem, but I'm just a bit puzzled.
It has always been that a Flarm data feed is used before anything else.
LK8000 on Android starts up very quickly, just a few seconds, so if Flarm and LK8000 are started at about the same time, LK8000 is up and running well before Flarm. So as expected LK8000 finds the internal gps (device B) first. However when Flarm (device A) has started LK8000 does not switch automatically to Flarm, the Com Ports have to be manually re-set.
Yet this automatic switching is supposed to happen, if in flight Flarm is lost, tnen first a switch is made to what is available, say Internal, then when Flarm is found again, the switch is made back to it.
Is it possible that LK8000 does not recognise Device A as Flarm, even though the name is Flarm, the port is BT:Sopartronic?

"Automatic" fallback only happen between all "CONNECTED" device, in your case Flarm is not connect until you manually restart comport ("Config 3/3" -> "Reset Comms")
