Did I ask anything?
Welcome to the reality. Did somebody forced you to spend the time testing it? Except for community. If you are not satisfied with the product because you think it doesn't work as it should, RMA the product multiple times and eventually get refund...
Seems pointless waste of time to keep RMA'ing a product where two units from different batches exhibit the
exact same behavior. Isn't the definition of madness trying to repeat the same test over and over and expecting different results?
Is it definitive beyond doubts that two units could be faulty? No. Is it unlikely that two "faulty units" manufacturered in different batches (serial numbers are far apart) exhibit the same behavior. Yes.
Probably not "very evident" since only very few, almost "nobody" encountered this issue. But because Viofo supposedly acknowledge it, probably a rare combination of conditions have to be met. And please, don't repeat again how you tested two units. (I remember that well enough)
Well, I have a fine idea. Send out these units to beta testers, along with a hardwire kit, to people in Greece, Italy, Australia, Texas, Florida, South America, etc and tell them to let their units cook in the sun. Not rocket science.
If they can get their hardwired units in parking mode to exhibit the same behavior, then I'm not making it up. If not, then maybe I have a faulty unit.
Guess what? I've not seen any person on DCT from a very hot climate stating they ran parking mode and a direct sun test on an A139...
Sure, I have nothing against healthy review which covers experience of that particular user. Even mentioning that two units were tested with the same result is usable info. But I'll get quite annoyed seeing the same review repeating over and over again, being mad because they didn't gave him a sample of A139 which he had to buy, then noticed the issues and now he thinks he's entitled to get a free sample of another product...
No. I'm mad that I have bought and tested the A139 to find flaws still exist. And that my opinion isn't valued enough to be included in the T130 test. Apparently, wanting a
real review and
camera run through the paces to help correct potential bugs prior to releasing to the consumer,
is not Viofo's End Goal.
Note:
I repeat: You know all my concerns are very easy to validate WITHOUT MY HELP, if Viofo wanted to take the time and effort....Again Mail units to VERY HOT climates. Send Hardwire Kits. Tell these people to park in the sun, and see if they get corrupt files. Beta testing and repeating results isn't rocket science.
Funny, but I believe you gave me the
same nonsense speech with the Zenfox T3.
End Result: There's a Hypothesized Problem.
Find out if the problem is "ME" or the "Hardware". Seek out others to test. Simple.
