Oh ya … if you are talking about the speedometer I am missing not only the 32 but 10, 21, 32, 43 … Etc

No it’s the same as previous, still the 9s are missing

It’s not syncing for me for more than 3 hours. And the A450 was in the Network area

After the update screen got freezed for the first time since I bought and did 1K km yesterday. Today screen refused to turn on !

Few observations :
*) Why screen doesn’t show the grids in Chennai? *) Try any grid @ Chennai and send location to A450, screen will hang and restart on its own *) As mentioned in the earlier post, 10, 21, 32, 43… Are missing from speedometer (both in map as well as normal screen ) *) While searching a particular place in gmap , if that place is not available, I usually search nearby available place and try to locate the desired location by slightly moving here and there. But how do we do it in our screen ? When you search a place, it hides the PIN. Searching the place in the dashboard is a nightmare

All in all the update is not worth the release considering the beta testing and all

I have experienced an improvement in accelaration performance after this update. Before the update, I had a nitpicking complaint (which I didn’t report to CC) that my vehicle could only reach 75 Kmph and then it would very slowly gain some speed to reach 80… reaching 89 or 90 was almost impossible because of a lack of clear stretch of road on my usual routes. I couldn’t ever confirm that it was an issue with my vehicle and I had always attributed it to heavier payload or low tire pressure. However, after this update, the vehicle quickly reaches 88 or 89 kmph (breezes past 75) and I can feel the zippiness that I had originally felt during my pre-purchase test rides in July 2019.

This is the first OTA update to my vehicle after getting it delivered on Oct 19 and now, I believe the flashing of this new firmware / update has resolved some bug that had existed with the previous version. I have tested by riding again on my usual routes and I can now overtake fast moving vehicles a lot better than before. The accelaration has improved and I am super happy about it.

I just hope that Ather team has had a chance to analyze this kind of issue with some other owner and that it can be avoided in the future if this was really a software issue that caused marginally degraded performance in the previous firmware.

Interesting observation @yash.varma. But from what I remember in our discussions with the team, no changes were done to the riding modes.

Could it be that you had a higher SoC% this time?, because motor derating is linked to SoC. Tyre pressure also plays a major role.

Yes, I have thought about those too. I have now ridden 90 kms with the new firmware. It has been over a week since I checked tire pressure. The accelaration improvement is present almost all through out the entire SoC range and in all ride modes.

I know this was there before the OTA as well, but does anyone else find the blurred top bar in the navigation screen kinda tacky? I don’t think it suits it, it catches my eye all the time when looking at the map.

Not to mention, I think the Gaussian blur being applied there probably impacts the performance of the dashboard in the navigation screen.

I think it would look better if that bar was just transparent instead. I know the network indicator is on the left edge of it, but the indicator is plenty visible as it is, even without the blur behind it.

it was there before also

it is inline with that black layer with time and motor info

probably they added the layer, this is not visible on home screen as everything is white

I haven’t received the latest update yet. I ride the vehicle in good network zones. The internet is working fine because I’ve checked navigation in various places. But the update does not download. Anyone else who hasn’t received the update inspite of being in good network areas?

No updates available for me, at first I thought it was because less of 40% battery or no charger plugged in but even with full charge and charger connected it says up to date 4.0.x… strange!

Updates are rolled out in batches and gets downloaded in ather when there is a good network strength. By now you should have got it but you haven’t. Wait for it you will definitely get it very soon.

Finally, something to justify the loss of battery in standby mode. Also, I don’t have to try and assume how much battery I’ve lost overnight or in a day. Because it varies a lot.

I would like to join the beta and I would like to know how to sign up for it!

I updated my vehicle last night. This morning i noticed that the vehicle was not charging. I ran down to see that there was an error on screen - Authentication error C087. Turned the key on, un plugged the charger and noticed that the charging stopped at 41%. I called ather RSA support and they asked me to charge my vehicle normally as i would and ignore that error.
Vehicle is charging now. Lets see how it goes.

Also, the indicator tone lag that i raised earlier is not fixed in this update.

Once update is done you need to unplug and plug it in normally for it to charge. Else it won’t charge.

how did you get those 2 little icons (office and home pin) adjacent to search? i don’t have those

You’ll need to go into the app and go the profile tab. Then click on the green “Profile” under your name. You’ll be able to set home and work address from there. You can then quickly navigate to them by clicking on it from the dashboard.

On your mobile app, go to profile tab. Below the scooter icon, you’ll find “Profile” written in green. Tap that and there you can enter your home and office address. after that you’ll get those icons on the dashboard.
