    Gaps in HUD are icc acc icon which now can be turned off/on in HUD menu, why bother? Just give me back my App access to car and leave well alone!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    How did you lose app access?

    App is working fine here



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 274 ✭✭evftw


    Did BYD hire all the software engineers that were released from VW Cariad? Sounds painful having all these random bugs. Do you thing they'll do the VW and stop software updates altogether for the older cars?

    Hastn't worked since I did the update this afternoon. Was working earlier when I went up to Dunnes. Did it on my return. They seem to have done something to radio all right. I had to reload all the presets. Will take it for a spin tomorrow to see if it makes any difference, probably not!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 267 ✭✭grumpygit


    No that's not the gap I have, they are working with me, gap I was referencing was the blank space between icc icon and right hand side blind spot icon. Have noticed the speed limit icon disappears, seems to time out if it doesn't see continuous signs HUD icons in one continuous line now

    Yeah HUD Icons in a line niw havent driven car since update so dont know about speed limit icon thats not good if thats happening

    Maybe Elon could give a hand with the software? No messing with firmware yourself, updates are all OTA. Or BYD could just ask their local pals in Xpeng? They are very good with software as they knew a good thing when they saw it and just copied everything over from Tesla, more or less with Elon's blessing and of course the involvement from the Great Leader himself

    And before anyone starts, in the past I have had shares in BYD and TSLA, currently I have shares in XPEV

    I have fewer problems than most with buying Chinese products (cars included) and fewer problems than most with the Chinese work practices, political system, forcing people into slavery and all that good stuff. But that is very problematic

    Haven't received the 2511 update myself yet, still on 2509, but that messed up my GPS module. I was hoping 2511 fixed that tbh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    Ehhh these are OTA updates .

    And there's nothing changed here. I suspect someone may have issues with their phone or account app login.

    The rest of your post . 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    'oh i didn't know these were OTA I should have looked that up before making silly comments'

    And theres nothing wrong with my phone listermint as I said before was working fine till the update now all I am getting is weak signal around the car when you try to activate any app function



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    Weak signal is related solely to you 4G antenna. So where you parked the car or your local mast. This could be attributed to a problem with the usual mast too. (We've had bad weather).

    Not unusual and something I'm used to working in telecommunications.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    So explain why 5 minutes before update it was working fine and immeditely after update wasnt and hasnt since in the same location parked in front of my house



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    May be complete coincidence. With all due respect take it for a drive and see if the signal is better elsewhere.



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 42,150 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    The update stuffed it. No other explanation. A future update will fix it. Hopefully.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    Disingenuous.

    Causality does not mean causation.

    Any Engineer would understand this basic fact.



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 42,150 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    Maybe you should give the BYD Software Engineers some CPD then.

    Found another change, not added a 3rd seat preset option. But it did wipe the existing saved two.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    App only working intermittently this morning turned on seat heating then couldnt turn it off had to restart phone to get it to work. It is definitely not a coincidence that this update has caused the issue. I had no problem before

    Yes noticed all right the 3 seat presets, good point that original settings not saved, have saved now otherwise with my bad back would have been ages getting it right again if it was changed



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    Didn't you complain that you couldn't turn heated seats on from the app 2 versions ago. It's for this reason I don't think your car is picking up data connection well or all the time where it's parked.

    Local mast can be loaded up with data. Traffic even though youre showing full bars on a device.

    I wasn't trying to be rude before , but much of the descriptors of the issues you have had could easily be attributed to data quality consistency rather than network connection. I don't know your topography or location but I have a lot of experience in this space. I don't know what provider SIM is in these cars it could differ from your phone provider and be connecting to a different shittier or over prescribed mast. A neighbour could be hogging bandwidth from their internet use.

    Hence causality. Something to consider.

    My car now showing up as 10k away from where it actually is, looks like gps screwed. What settings do I lose and have to reset if I hold the scroll button down for a software reset ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,492 ✭✭✭✭dodzy


    A factory reset will not roll back to the original software version that was on the car when you purchased it (Some lad tried this before - page 117) and it did not roll back the version. It will merely reset all values to factory default. Personally I'd try a soft reset (hold down the roll button near the gearshift for 10 secs and see if that helps). These lads in SW must be hopeless. They seem to break more than they fix on every revision. Pre-launch testing must be next to non-existent.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    This is different to the issue before. Then you turn on the heated seats and then the heating when you go back to heated seats on app they have turned off. Now weak network signal actually comes up on the app which I have never seen before and nothing works. As I said earlier had to restart the phone to get the heated seats to turn off then it worked for a while and stopped again. Surely if it was a signal fault it wouldn't work at all



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 34,883 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    No, I've seen weak signal appear before. It's the car saying it has a weak signal to the internet. It just means it can talk but it doesn't have the quality or capacity to complete full commands. It's akin to having a gprs connection versus for example 4G or LTE.

    Give it a test when your out and about somewhere else see if there is a difference.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 368 ✭✭Sealman


    Radio seems much better now weaker stations like iradio working now where I could get no reception before. Like the HUD feature where the speed limit icon flashes if you go over it and that the blind spot notification comes up on it



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 42,150 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    What they take with one hand, they give with the other.

    Least you can listen to FM104 now!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 267 ✭✭grumpygit


    Ya wasn't expecting it to go back to previous software version, just don't feel like having to reprogram all those bits I set up to suit me over the years like regen breaking, steering wheel feel, seat settings and other things I can't remember changing. Would be resetting it in the hope of solving gps which it probably won't end up fixing anyway.

    I am in Galway Gumbo so I think FM104 would be a bit beyond it!😀😀😀
