Given you can't easily dump the eeprom file from your flight off your Telemetrum your best bet is to perform quite a granular analysis of the telem file from your phone. So email yourself the telem file stored on your phone and then replay the flight in AltOS on your computer. I normally only ever deal with TeleGPS from a telemetry perspective but I expect you can "see" the Apogee and Main charge status in the flight replay. Given your issue was with your apogee charge not separating the rocket (?) you should be able to see the charge lose continuity in the replay just past apogee.
Also, to confirm, your apogee charge fired but didn't separate the AV bay/NC from the airframe? And yet you still had NC sep with the main charge while coming in ballistic? That definitely sounds like an apogee charge issue that you can most likely eliminate as altimeter based if you replay the flight. It would also eliminate any suspicion regarding gees causing your apogee charge to lose continuity as I expect if that was an issue it would have occurred during boost.
Finally, maybe next time change the call sign on your TeleMetrum? When you leave the settings as default you're opening yourself up to overlap if someone else is also operating with the same call sign and channel. Years ago we had a guy frantically running up and down the flight line yelling at people who owned TeleMetrums to turn theirs off as he was racked up ready to launch and his base station kept reporting the rocket had landed. Come to find our another club member was leaving in an RV with their TeleMetrum still chirping away post flight. It was quite the funny scene.
Where do I find the file to send myself? I didn't think the phone recorded the data. I have an android.
I just asked those at my club before I set up. The next one I buy I will do that.
