DangerousDick Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Only just had mine back from the 'shop' and it's arrived with 1.3.0 I won't be upgrading again anytime soon - at least until Ian from SpeedyFeet suggests it's a good idea to but I'm all ears if somebody does go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSoong Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I'm not updating because I'm happy with 1.3.0 now! There's a new Version for the Iphone App (3.1.8) also and I wonder if they ever fix the Problem with the Mileage calculator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a new Version for the Iphone App (3.1.8) also and I wonder if they ever fix the Problem with the Mileage calculator. My take from the Mileage Calculator is that it allows you to calculate the difference between the remaining miles on the home screen and "Actual Mileage". I don't think it sets anything, but rather just calculates depending on what info you give it. It then gives you an answer, and that's it! Does not change any settings. Just my two cents on the calculator. 51 minutes ago, Patrick Carroll said: So are we taking bets on when the "1.3.5 Killed my Ninebot" thread is going to start? I hope I'm not the first to post that. But as soon as it's available, I'll be updating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planetpapi Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 1.3.5 already? What's up Ninebot? You offer upgrades much faster than I take showers. Is there a race for " Who releases more upgrades in a week" title? Just to let you know, you already won that title. Now just put your focus on making SAFE wheels. Please.

Ninebot's business model for providing updates is clearly broken. I wish their management would step in and fix this unprofessional flaw in their business.

Paulandjacquelyn Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I like updates because it adds an element of risk vs an unlnown reward lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 I agree that they should have a little more quality control before release, but I'm happy they are doing something. It gives me the feeling they at least care and are still supporting the device. Not just releasing new devices and leaving the old ones behind. On my TG F3, there will NEVER be updates. What it is I'm stuck with, even if they could make it ride smoother or longer, I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an actuality, the anticipation of which can cause a heightened sense of awareness, etc. The downside is that being ACTUALLY injured is not a lot of fun at all. I have gone to the emergency room actually injured from riding a wheel, because I was, well... injured. This is not a lot of fun. It hurts, as you might imagine. I hope that you, and also SuperSport will adjust your expectations regarding 'being hurt' by being the victim of a bad update. (I didn't say that right, I simply wish you would adjust your expectations.) Having been in the ER because of these wheels of ours, and having taken time to recover from that, it is not something you really want. Bad on me, if that IS what you really want. Good luck and enjoy what safety you have. dpong. If they are doing more than one update a month on a non-emergency basis, then they are horribly broken as a business process. IMHO.

Patrick Carroll Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Makes you wonder what 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, and 1.3.4 did to "test" vehicles. Hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSport Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Thank you @dpong, believe me, I'm not at all excited about being hurt. I also wear a helmet EVERY ride and other safety gear. I am, on the other hand, usually on the edge of what is smart and what is not. That's WHY I'm riding a Self Balancing Unicycle. That in and of itself is pretty hazardous. I've also skydived, raced cars and motorcycles, climbed mountains, repelled hundreds of feet, flown RC Planes, Helicopters, Quads, Drones, and am going to try scuba diving as soon as I go visit my brother in Washington (He's an instructor). But, during all of these Dangerous activities, I use my head, use the correct gear, listen to other's advice, and make sure my equipment is in good condition. I'm not into pain in any way, I get enough of that lately from my past activities. But, I do appreciate your concern, and your comments are very wise. I will take them into consideration, as I do most comments. I also will be updating as soon as it's out, but I'll be riding more careful after doing so. I do modify and create firmware for cell phones, and I wish the firmware on these was similar, because you can bet I'd be all over that, modifying what the NineBot is able to do. But, I haven't been able to get my head around it yet, and will probably stop trying due to other projects going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverH Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Test pilots with helmets and safe guards to the front I'll not update our 9b1. But I'll replace my wife's 9b1 with a more safety EU. The bugs of the old firmwares are not relevant for lightweight drivers. So the 9b1 will be freezed in case of firmware and will be handed over to the kids. No trust in their "engineers" any more.

Ben__123 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I upgraded it. No issue, smooth ride... I have still trouble connecting via Bluetooth but after 2-3 tries it always works. I have just been out for a 30 min ride and it used 35% of my battery. I'm wondering if this upgrade drains the battery quicker. Any other feedback?

SuperSport Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 I also updated just now. I don't know if I'll be able to go for a ride today due to weather, but I'll report back as soon as I'm able to ride again. Be aware that it changes the ride stiffness back to 3 by default, so remember to reset that if you want to. I'm curious to know what this means when I ride next: "Optimize the algorithm of motor, improve the ridding experience" It already rode nice. I hope I don't lose any of the nice ride it had.

SuperSport Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 On a preliminary ride around inside the house, it feels a LOT more "Precise". It's hard to explain, but smoother running motor, and every small input I give is received as it should be. It feels really nice. I might get a chance to ride today in a while and if so, I will report back. Hopefully, my Mother Board is still alive after a day of riding... PS: I'm running on "0" firmness.
