@jokiin, you think that there will be new hardware modification: new lens/holder/sensor kit?
or do you think that something can be possible to fix with the FW ... but how to prevent the dashcam from heating?
so probably and as usual there will be V3 for new customers, forgetting the v2 ones...as all V2 are concerned if the problem is in the holder , due to the wrong conception or material choice done by the R&D.
Sometimes the Supply chain or Purchasing are messing up even if the job from the R&D is done well. Nothing to say about the QC as it's clear that nothing is done...probably was to late as QC can not stop ALL batches to go out.
So they have preferred to sell all production in 2017 and probably the fix is already done and planned for 2018.
If some of us really insist
@viofo will do the effort to replace the V2 by V3 units under the warranty to some of "lucky" customers...turning the page...and in 2018 V3 will be commercialized.
Important: When you cool down the a119s, the distant objects becomes focused and close object loose the focus...so vice and versa and up to the operating temperature of the lens/holder/sensor.
To be pragmatic there is the "solution", ironic, if we have the problem in the traffic, we can ask people to wait our a119s cooling down in order to be able to get the correct footage ;-)
after 15min it becomes "cold", it will be working fine for 5min...means the FW can fix it...the cycle of 5min on / 15min off of the footage to cool down... 5/15, 5/15 ha ha ha OR 5fps all the time in order to prevent unit heating more then 5°C...
cheers
PS: btw, when the R&D and Supply Chain mess it up, it's simply the disaster...if the company is strong in term of customer support and service something can be worked out...accepting the huge cost, the management team can do it...and it will be easy to see what is the company strategy, should be some, to be on the market for couple of months or be the brand and stay for years...
