Pete Bucknell Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Kingsong App: a couple of bugs My new Kingsong 16B has a 20km/h speed lock on it. The new app by Kingsong is designed to be able to unlock the speed limitation, but no-one, including the people in the shop or the wholesaler, are able to get the app to unlock the wheel's limit. Pressing 'get code' leads nowhere but gets a response: Please go to my account to improve personal information. (My information has been filled out thoroughly ) The other functions on the app work correctly. Has anyone got a solution for this issue?

Pete You can try unlocking your wheel the old fashioned way - without the socialized version of the app. I've done this BTW. The following assumes an Android phone. Uninstall your existing app Install the older app. Here's my copy: https://www.dropbox.com/s/il5z2qqfq9bahsr/KSv4.apk?dl=0 Use the KingSong unlock code generator to get your code: http://electricunicycle.org/kingsongunlocker/ Enter the unlock code into the app to unlock your speed. Congratulations, you now have a speed unlocked wheel. Re-install your new app if you must (why would you ) Instead I recommend installing this version of WheelLog which will allow you to monitor and control (swipe from the left) your KS16: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pc8swvnsgkkm5ai/Forked WheelLog_17092017.apk?dl=0 Good luck. Let me know if you get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Blaster Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I noticed today after my ride while playing with the newer version of the KS app (white/orange one) that there was a new update available for android, this newest version of the questionable KS app is 1.47 (again, this is Android, I don’t know about iOS) Just thought I’d post this info if anyone was remotely interested, maybe they are slowly addressing bugs, who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US69 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 @Flora Yuan This is the third Person i hear of, that can not unlock his Speed on KS with the new App! So there are still BIG Problems with the new app...please be so nice and fix These.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borg666 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 @Flora Yuan I can confirm this speed setting issue with Version 1.47(Build 20): Everything worked fine until I clicked into the Speed Setting Setup - I suddently was limited to 20 kph again! I downgraded to 1.42(Build 15), but that didn't solved the problem neither, still limited! FYI, several month ago the speed unlock worked fine with v1.42, but not this time! Is this behavior related to the new Release v1.47 or is it possible that it has something to do with the login process in general? For now I solved my Problem by using the "old" App to re-apply my unlock code. Applying that code brought back my former speed settings again, btw - some sort of magic! ;-) Cheers, Borg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did finally get registered! For anyone that is still struggling with this, what I did was removed my email address from the user name field, and replaced it with my first and last name with a space between. Boom!

Just a thought. The distributer here in Barcelona dropped his V8 off for me to use while he struggles with the unlock problem on my KS. He's tried few androids but can't get the old app on to them. I'll tell him about the weird 'email work-around' that someone came up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell him about the weird 'email work-around' that someone came up with If he goes to this forum there is many links to download the old app. You can not get it on the play store , you just have a file to load it from . I was having the same problem until today . The iOS would not work for me . I tried the work around , tried deleting and reinstalling the app. Tried everything. The iOS app just isn’t operating properly . @Flora Yuan has assured me they are working to fix this . But in the meantime the green app on Android is the only solution I know . Even the new app on android wouldn’t work only the old . very good of your dealer to let you borrow a wheel ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be a permission issue... go to: -> Android settings, ->Apps, ->KingSong-App. At the App setting you have to -> grant access for GPS & internal SD-Card., which should solve your issue.

Marcglider Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 When I purchased my first wheel, Jason sent me an email with instructions and links to get my speed unlocked. It has worked OK for me and I have not updated the app when asked on my phone. I will say that it can be frustrating to get the app to sync with the wheel, especially when I ride one and then change to a different wheel. Sometimes I restart my phone and it will sync a little quicker say after 2 or 3 tries. Also I use WheelLog and that can be a pain in the ass as sometimes one will sync and not the other... I use both at the same time with my pebble to see my specs and control my music... If anyone wants a copy of Jasons email to me, send me a message and I will gladly send it...

Tom D Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Greetings all... First post, but a long time lurker. I've been tooling around on my new 14D for about ~2 months (at no more than 12 km/h) and like the others, I am unable to unlock my wheel. Has anyone been able to crack the code using iOS app? I have tried all the workarounds mentioned in the King Song threads and nothing. I have even tried every permutation of updating i.e., "improve personal information" in the app account and I get the same screen (see attached pic). Seems rather stunning that such a pricy toy has such an unreliable and poorly functioning app (at least on the iOS side). Oddly, all my friends and family have an iPhone and no Androids, so unless I go and pop for a disposable Android, I am stuck trying to figure this out using the iOS app. T.

I spent a good week trying to figure this out after replacing my 14D with a 14s. Nothing worked . I mean nothing ! Logged out , logged back in , created a new account , changed my name , changed my age to 50 ...nothing changed . Kingsong have gone on record (about a week ago ) saying they are aware of the issue and working to remedy it . Best advice : do as I did and go buy a $30 android smart phone . Download the old (green ) app Bc the new android app wouldn’t unlock for me either . And be done with it ! After that you can go back to using your iPhone just don’t mess with the speed settings or you’ll have to go back to the green app again. Well worth $30. 20kph is painfully slow !!!!

Tom D Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Scott - Thanks for the advice. I was hoping not to have to buy a disposable Android, more on principle than anything else. Guess that is my next step. I suspect providing a solidly functioning app is not a priority for King Song, which I find very strange given the how apps dominate nearly every part of our lives. T.
