OTA downloaded quickly. Big improvement from early days where I had to wait for days.
Typing in the Navigation UI is much better… Earlier it was unusable.
Auto Turn-off indicators work much better (hit ratio is > 50% now)
Frequent Cloud Sync - This is good and much awaited.
Drop-Pin Location is a good addition… Not sure if people use it more than co-ordinates.
-ves:
Navigation lag - Still there. And, I still miss turns because of this. The recent one on Sunday evening.
09 bug - Still exists. If we delayed and limited the features for for a stable fix, then really wonder if we could not fix this small problem in first attempt.
Dark Mode - This was in everyone’s wishlist and still a distant dream…
No option to Location Search by Co-ordinates shared by WhatsApp / Google - More than Drop Pin, IMHO this was more practical need. But, Ather prioritized it over this.
On hold:
Touch screen is still very laggy. I remember seeing firmware update done by @rajeshkav. So, will keep this pointer on hold until I update FW.
My first impression:
Not so happy for an update which came after a 4 month wait. Will update / add pointers after couple of weeks.
Just want to share this Incident, related to recent OTA update----->
Myself, @Rahul, @chandruM and two others. We all just planned for a casual meet up at thiruvanmiyur beach - VTV spot . Myself and Rahul started from nungambakkam, on the way we get to know that chandru’s Ather 450 is not getting on and display is blank, when key in. Also solenoid is locked since it was charging. We went to his home and thought of trouble shooting, we tried couple of times, no response. This happened just after the OTA update finished. I tried to switch on my Ather 450 just to check some info, its not getting On, blank display and no response. Myself and @Rahul reaction was like WT*** something fishy and scary at Chandru’s place
My Ather 450 was up and running smoothly last 2 days, post recent OTA update.
Tried to switch on couple of times, tired manual restart, got no response. Later we made small Jerk by applying brakes just to make sure if there is any loose connections - (Idea credits @Rahul )and then tried to key in and switched on very slow and gentle. It worked we tried the same to other one, it woke up.
Conclusion : If your Ather 450 is down after recent OTA update, just try making some Jerks by applying both the brakes, forward & backward and then Key in slowly.
I hope @Ather.Team fixes these bugs in next update, similar 7 cases recorded in Chennai, including us
wow that is some fix I wish I had tried that before handing over my 450 to the service team yesterday. Seems like a lot of 450s were affected by the last update. Hope I get mine back soon.
This doesn’t seem to be resolved even after the latest update. The GPS location on the app still randomly shows the bike to be a couple of kilometers away from where it is actually parked, every now and then.
Guys even I had similar issue yesterday evening around 6 00PM. I switched off my Ather in a signal and when green, my flight didnt switch on. I tried to switch off and on a couple of times, nothing worked.
I pushed it to the sideways and tried to switch on, to my surprise it switched on. I can relate my issue to yours. Not sure what went wrong after the update.
And now the ride statistics don’t show up anymore on the app. If I go to the statistics page, it just says “Go on your first Ather ride, now!”. This latest update is turning out to be quite buggy for me
Ather support team member told their is a service person near my home come from your office. I came home now they have not called and not picking the call. This is a smart way of service as I am also at home so… I need to follow up tomorrow again. @Ather.Team this is my 4 bad experience in 1 month.
I was on my way back from Whitefield to Frazer town and Stoped the vehicle for 3min, when i again turned on the ignition key and zero response and vehicle is completely dead. This happened after the new update and 1st ride 9.1.2020.
Spoke to 24/7 road side assistant and my vehicle is getting toed to IBC knowledge pak Ather. Has anyone faced the issue? And was there any successful troubleshoot helped you, kindly request you to share.
