I'm not sure what about the app is difficult to figure out. If you have specific questions post them here and I'm happy to help you out.
It's pretty straightforward though...Pair the device (code is 1234) to your phone, Enable the Pro version (assuming you bought it and have your code – if you didn't buy it, buy it. Immediately), follow the many published VCDS tweaks. Here are some good ones:

Keep in mind that "Instruments" in VCDS corresponds to "Dashboard" on OBDEleven.
In terms of your specific error, make sure your key is in the accessory/ignition on position (car does not need to be started). The only time I ever got that message is when I inadvertently hadn't put the key in that position.
It's connected via Bluetooth, and all I could do with the app is scan for codes, although it takes forever. It will load control units, but when I select any of them, that's when I get the error.

Do you have the pro version, and if so, have you activated it? If you do and you're getting those errors, then I think your best option is to contact the manufacturer.
So I received my ODB11 on Friday to my surprise since I only ordered it on the 9th.. I must say this device is awesome!!! So far I was able to change:
Windows open/ close from the remote
Change instruments to Carbon Fiber look
Refuel Quantity
DRL option in MIB
Change instruments to Carbon Fiber look
Disable warning tone when ignition is on and driver's door open
Comfort Blink Cycle

Messed around with it some more with the same results. Contacted the manufacturer via Facebook and we tried various things to no avail...
He's sending me a new unit asap!
Now that's customer service!!!

Its just a minor change, just adds the effect of CF on the same background.
Because my MK7, like most have that CF looking accents around the doors and dash, this just solidifies it, so it matches.
have not tried any other backgrounds.

I tried to download the app onto my Toshiba Tablet running Android 4.4.2, and it tells me that it's not compatible! WTF
I can't download the app at all. Did anyone else run into these troubles?

Their website says "OBDeleven application works with all phones and tablets with Android version 4.1 and later" So it should work I'd think. I'm the farthest thing from an android expert though.
Maybe hit up the manufacturer. One user a few posts back got a quick reply via Facebook.

Crap I ordered mine on the 3rd and it shows shipped, but still nothing.

Probably get to you this week. It took mine a solid 3 weeks.
If I'm understanding your question correctly, the only way to do this is by putting the car on city lights (the two inward pointing beams) - this turns on rear lights while keeping DRLs on and allows you to turn your fog lights on without turning your low beams on. This is how I prefer to drive around town. Looks flashy. However when you turn the car off in the city lights position, the lights stay on so you have to put them back in the off position.
After being used to only driving cars that would automatically turn lights off regardless of switch position, this has proven to be a very difficult thing for me to adjust to. I constantly forget to turn them off when I get out of my car, despite the audible ring the car makes when I open the door when the city lights are on and engine is off. I also rarely remember to put the switch back into city lights when I turn the car on.
I really wish the "Auto" function worked the way it SHOULD when Fogs are on in the auto position (that is, if you pull the switch out for fogs when the switch is in auto, it automatically turns the low beams on regardless of outside lighting conditions, essentially rendering the switch useless if you want your fogs on at all times)
