Error in Setting up Lightning Connect trailhead challenge
When doing the challenge in the "Setting up Lightning Connect" step of the Lightning Connect trailhead (https://developer.salesforce.com/trailhead/lightning_connect/lightning_connect_setup), I get a persisting issue with the "Phone Plan" external object (everything is OK with the "Phone" object).
Displayed message is :
This message appears as soon as I try to add the "cost" field in the default "all" tab list view and systematically on the object detail view (whatever the set of actually displayed fields) for the only ""monthly" record.
When checking the challenge on the trailhead page, no isue is raised band I got a "completed" challenge (but the issue is still there).
Any clue ? Where can we find logs for "lightning connect" issues ?
Thanks.

For information, I have French locale setup for my user
Setting to US locale did not change anything
I completed step #3 (Integrating External Data) and tried using the Salesforce 1 Mobile UI. This does not work, as no line is fetched when accessing the "Phone" or "Phone Plan" tabs.
Having the same issue here. The "External Orders" application worked fine, but when I cleaned it up and tried to connect with the Mobile Phones data source, this is the exact error I received.
Apparently, there is an issue with the OData service for the "Phone Plan" object. When a query is made specifying "cost" as a returned field, it returns as 99.99 which is not compatible with the object definition.
@Pierre-Emmanuel Gros ...and what would be the solution to this issue?
No news since then... Problem lies on Heroku service side.
Did you change the Object name to "Phone" but not "phones" and the resulting API name has to be "Phone__x".. ?
I noticed that the table name cannot be changed, it must remain "phones" and is case sensitive. Ensure the API name is "Phone_ _x" and the table name is "phones" and will work fine. I had to re-do that challenge today trying to earn badges on a new account and had to fiddle with it.
