Shimano motor sensor 'Assist Mode' issue (Android app version 4.35.0)

Hello!

First of all, thank you for adding the option to display the Shimano motor parameters on the screen.

I found a small issue, though.

My e-bike is powered by a Shimano EP-801 motor.

When the motor is set to regular BASIC MODE, the active 'sensor cell' correctly shows the current mode that the motor is in (OFF/ECO/TRAIL/BOOST).

However, when the motor is set to FINE TUNE MODE, the active sensor cell does not show the number of the current mode. It shows either OFF or --.

There are up to 15 patterns in this mode, so if you could display them, please don't do it like '15/15' as this is how it works on the Shimano display, and it's not perfect because it's only correct if you have 15 active modes.

For example, if you set six modes using the E-tube app, selecting levels: 2/5/8/10/11/15, the Shimano display shows them as follows:

1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, 6/6.

I would strongly recommend showing them with the exact numbers as in the E-Tube app, so that the sensor cell shows:

2

5

8

10

11

15

This helps us to determine how much power we are getting from the motor at the level we have set, because we know that a low numbers mean less power and 15 means maximum power.

To summarise, please resolve the problem with displaying the assistance level for the fine tune mode, and make sure that the number of the ASSISTANCE LEVEL is shown (and not just a level as 'one of xx').

Thanks!
