I have an AVX and use a slightly different workflow. I have everything on but the mount (and have the HC disconnected) which leaves the telescope disconnected in the app. I do a polar alignment, then return the mount to "home". At that point, I turn on the mount, set the time/date, and tell the mount to "use previous alignment". Then I use the app to connect to the mount. My first step is to tell the scope to go to a bright star (lately Vega). it will be in the general area, but not too close. Then, I use plate solve in the app, so the scope knows where it is pointing, and I sync it and go-to to that star (which I use for fine focusing). Now I am set. Hope this workflow helps. It is similar to what others have suggested and, as I understand it, represents an issue with the AVX.
