Received the update today. Observations as follows:
Bluetooth still a pain. Never connects. Tried resetting the scooter after update and also tried deleting and pairing again. No Go!!. Even though it shows connected on the phone but it does not on the scooter.
Map is still super laggy. Doesnât work properly. It doesnât move with the movement of the scooter.
Map arrow still stuck in 1 direction. Sometime its a dot on the map and sometimes the arrow pops up on its own. You can see in the video below at around 1:05 or 1:08.
It does not even reroute if we take a different route.
Cant see the dash properly during day time as I feel the brightness levels have been compromised.
Auto theme missing.
Havenât tried charging so canât comment on optimised charging if it exists for Gen 2 in this update.
More to follow when I test the software in my upcoming rides.
My Autohold is working at plain road also but not working perfectly at slopes. Kindly tell me if anyone has this issue and inform me if any solution is there.
I havenât received the app update from 6.2.0 to 6.3.0, whoever received the update, can link the apk file? I just want to test the Bluetooth functionality.
Autohold sometimes does not disengage even when applying brakes it continuously engages. The only option is to move forward or to manually disengage it in the settings Ather Kindly look into this
Here is my personal take on the UI revamping. (No offence and not commenting on any ones opinion, itâs purely my opinion)
Revamping of UI actually happened because of lot of requests. Many of us here in forum also requested to have both riding data and maps on same screen for ease of visibility.
I remember Ather taking up a survey several months back. Weather UI revamping is required and what are we as users expecting. So lot of changes came based on that.
Yes I am little upset on removal of certain features like trip-B but that is not a huge thing degrading my experience compared to the improvements in experience (Understand many had issues on maps and connectivity. I didnât have those issues after Update except for TPMS sync).
Implementation of call and music info is good now given we can easily see it in left top rather than assessing it from right bottom (this takes some effort for me, but now I can see without looking much into screen).
Tyre pressure info is available easily on screen itself rather than just a alert.
I am not a fan ever of providing incognito mode on dashboard without password. Even now they havenât implemented this feature and now it is even more easy to keep it in incognito. So Ather please bring password protection there is a genuine use case here.
The way they made the information and settings available is much easy and better in flow now just at a swipe away (this actually reduced the effort, previously we have to go into menu then sig into all options and it is hectic always for me).
Vector maps and perspective view is something which we all wanted to have. The implementation is clean except for the thick line for route (it can be much thinner thus not hiding the live traffic data, now that data is not usable though it is available).
Maps section need to improve further but considering this is first time on a two wheeler. More fine tuning can be done and expecting in coming iterations.
I felt the implementation is not so cluttered given we wanted all info available at all the time (again Many asked in this forum and also via survey commenting based on that).
Improvements in brightness is required in the new UI it is a downgrade for now.
Adding additional point to map that it still pickup the route for car rather than two wheeler. Sometimes it takes us to a longer route even when a shorter route is available.
Now that i have been using 202305 update since a week or more , issue i have noticed ,
-Maps still laggy,arrow pointing somewhere else, new layers loading taking time, navigation line covering traffic lines.
-AutoHold works for me as it should but suddenly it stopped working and i had to Hard Reboot to get it again working.
-Current Ride time is missing after stopping and Average speed is shown but average Efficiency is missing from Trip A.
-Bluetooth Messed up again, Ather App on my phone is always enabled and constantly looks for scooter but in the scooter i need to turn Bluetooth Off and ON then it connects.
-Wings of power is good and refreshing, it shows motor power output but i would like if i throttle too harsh then the wings should turn red like previously red halo effect.
-Document Zoom added but Quality messes up when zoomed.
-Motor ON indicater in the Top is a Thin green line , OK with some people but some people says thatâs not visible .
-Display Auto brightness works fine now but Brightness Nits have decreased now , not visible in Sun light even when manually increased Brightness to full.
@arun.appuac The Atherstack 5.2 update has the following note
You might have to visit the service centre for the fix
âPlease note: There may be rare cases where AutoHold is triggered on flat roads or unusual circumstances. In this case, we advise you to disable the feature from the
settings and take your scooter to the nearest service
centre to get it to work as intended going forward.â
