Indeed so. It's probably either iOS 26 and/or connectivity. As I say, I've gone over pretty much every conceivable combination of startup delays, wifi channels etc. In fact, one of the carlinkit ones I tried - the 5.0 2air got its knickers in a twist when I selected one of the higher 5GHz...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good wireless Carplay dongle? I've ordered and subsequently returned quite a few from Amazon. Including Carlinkit, Ottocast and more generic models. They all appear to use broadly the same hardware/firmware. I have an iPhone Pro Max 17. 75% of the time...

Just a heads up. The iSmart app was updated 02/03/2025 and a few days later, the March Pixel drop happened. I have both installed on my phone now and the camera is now working in the app. I'm unsure if it was the app update or the feature drop that fixed it, but in the release notes for the...

Yeah, that's what I figured

I'll just tack onto this thread. I purchased a Trophy, Long Range. However, I did notice that the MG SIAC HomeAssistant integration (GitHub - ad-ha/mg-saic-ha: MG SAIC Custom Integration for Home Assistant) reports the total battery capacity as 72.5 kWh which is higher than the Trophy Long...

The January 2025 update dropped a couple of days ago. From the release notes https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/317406511/google-pixel-update-january-2025?hl=en-GB&sjid=14407457134796595879-EU Fix for issue with camera stability when switching to a connected camera under certain...

They stripped the cable back by about a foot, everything's good now. Did require moving the charging point though, as the cable wouldn't reach the previous position after that. Given it's armoured cable, I'm glad it didn't all need replacing.

As an update. New charger, an Evec one has just been fitted & tested. The old one, it would seem had a bad wiring job, so over the course of the past 3 years, it burnt out.

Exactly what I've just arranged as it happens. Whilst I'm confident enough with messing with plug sockets, light fittings etc. I'll steer clear of messing around with something like this. They'll fully test it too.

So. I have a Project EV charger, has been installed since August 2021. Has charged my MG5 for the past few years with no bother. Picked up an MG4 this week. Decided to plug it in this morning to give it its first charge. Which was fine, charging from 50%. I did notice, on the iSmart app it was...

There was an update to the app itself yesterday too. Unfortunately, that didn't solve it. Fingers crossed it gets sorted soon, otherwise it looks like you're going to have to borrow someone else's device to bind the car to your account.

Glad to know it's not just me! Though not good for you. Are you on Android 15 with latest feature drop?

That's interesting to know, thanks. Out of interest, which version are you on? I'm on Android 15 with the latest feature drop I've managed to make a screen recording of the problem:

Of course. The device is fully up to date, including both apps/software & firmware.

I think it's something spefic to the phone itself. Sometimes the camera's a bit odd when it comes to certain apps. Firefox for example, thinks the camera is rotated 90 degrees.
