Alankevis Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hi guys, as the title, I wonder what is the most stable and optimized app for Ninebot 1 E+ (for Android) as I see from the Play Store, the interface is different than the one from the Ninebot website.

glorat Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I've been using both Ninedroid and Ninebot apps, trying to see which one is better. In terms of stability, both of them were perfectly stable for me. In terms of "optimized", I don't know what you're after but I can say that functionally both apps seem equivalent in terms of controlling the Ninebot. The main difference is indeed the user interface. I'd suggest you may as well download both and try for yourself. If however you only want to use one app, the choice is pretty clear to me. The Ninebot app has the more modern interface and is the one that Ninebot intend to actively develop going forward. That last point should be the deciding factor if all else is equal.

WheelinDoc Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hey guys, can anyone give me some "dummies" instructions on the new iOS app. I'm finding it confusing and cannot adjust my speed nor ride-type( hard,med etc...) anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 @WheelinDoc I just did a quick run through for you. (Sorry about all the Ummms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheelinDoc Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hey super sport, I viewed the video and it was most informative and helpful. Thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoe73 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Good video thanks. I can confirm that if you want to turn off the lights altogether, disable the 'lamp power switch' in the app. It is really annoying that they give you the speed limiting feature which works well, but don't let you set it above 10kph. This would be a useful feature for me if I could set it higher, now I have to disable it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can set it to 12kph in the Android App. You can borrow a friends phone and set it, just don't change it back in the iOS app. For what it's worth, I wish I could set it to 12 MPH so I never touched the High Speed Warning again.

Shoe73 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 12 kph (7.4 mph) is still too slow for me. I also would set it around 19kph (~ 12 mph) if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpong Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Why set the speed limiter at all? Just don't go so fast.. Maybe I missed some earlier discussion. I don't set the speed limiter, just turn it off. And then pay attention to how fast you are going, for example by the sound that the machine is making. Anyway, this is my approach. Maybe it is a question I am asking.. Why do you set the speed limiter at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm constantly touching the High Speed Tilt Back at 14-15 MPH and I would rather not get near that at all. I do try to keep my speed down, but it would be nice to have an extra layer of protection.

You are Superman! By the time I reach 13mph I don't need any prompting to slow my quivering self down. Have you had X-rays yet? I had X-rays. And by the way, tilt-back at high speed feels scarier to me than no tilt-back. But I'm still on 1.2.2 firmware, where the speed limited tilt-back is quite abrupt.

SuperSport Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hehe. No, have not face planted yet, and I'd like to keep it that way. It makes my blood vessels in my arms ache when it happens, that's why I'd like an earlier tilt back set up. I'll be the first guy to have a heart attack on a wheel. PS: I've had MANY X-Rays, but none because of the wheel YET. I sort of glow at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoe73 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I would like to have it as a reminder not to go too fast, and also to make sure the kids don't overdo it. It's easy to let the speed gradually creep up cruising along feeling comfortable. I was surprised the other day when I took out my phone and saw how fast I was going, as opposed to how fast I thought I was going. Its a good feature, and nice to be able to turn it off, but why would they put it in only for the lowest speeds? As far as I can tell, it wouldn't take any more effort on the part of the developers to let you choose any speed up to max. I cant think of any marketing reasons either...

Whatever the customer (you) want is what is important. Develop control and awareness and you can limit your own speed, and I'm not implying you can't do this now, in fact I'm implying that you can do this now. But whatever features you desire, and others desire, the manufacturers should see to it. And you are not being unreasonable in the least. Like you, I see no reason for them not to include the features you are requesting. Perhaps they will do that. [And for the kids, that is a super-desirable feature, for sure.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Ok, Check THIS out! I just decompiled the Ninedroid App and did some modifications. I applied 17km/h using NineDroid, and when I go to the iOS app, it's still holding! Now, I need to test ride and see if it actually makes the change, or if it's just for looks...

Vanquiz Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 @SuperSport OK, this is promising, please keep the update, it would be nice to be able to have like higher limit, like 9,11,13,15,17,19 or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Just got back from Walmart parking lot. I guess the Firmware does NOT use 17. It still topped out at 12km/h. I'm going to see if I can find out the highest limit the Firmware WILL use. I know it uses 12 from the NineDroid app as I can see a speed difference between that and the 10 that the NineBot app uses. It's strange, because 17km/h is stored in the NineBot One, because I can see it in ANY of the apps after setting it, but it's just not used. I'll see if there is another number that it WILL use, or I'll see if I can peek inside the Firmware and add numbers. Hmmm, this will be fun.

Shoe73 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 You are a brave man to even think about loading hacked firmware on your wheel. I salute you sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Don't salute me quite yet, maybe call the people in the white jackets! I'm not sure I'll get to see inside the firmware anyways, but I'll try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I guess NineBot is reading this forum (I'm glad about that, by the way)... They just pulled the NineDroid app from the Google Play Store today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just hopeful thinking. One more thing. I'm not sure I will use the Speed Limit setting anyways, because when I test it at 12km/h, the Tilt Back is SO severe, it's uncomfortable at that speed, let alone at a higher speed.

Peter Q Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi SuperSport, I just got my E+ from ForwardCA, and it is using 1.2.2, but the new Ninebot app said need to update to 1.3.5 first. How can I keep the 1.2.2 and use the new app? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the test I did yesterday, the Firmware AND App must both have equal parts. Have you tried the older NineDroid app to see if that works? That's a tough call. Some people prefer the older firmware. I prefer the newer. You will need to make that call. PS: Where are you located? Sonoma County, or closer to Sac?
