    Amazon US and new 0801 vendors

    Thanks, what firmware are you shipping now? If not 131230, when do you expect to get it?

    It'll show up, it is the schizophrenic after-sales support and refund delays I had issues with. If your 0801 works OK you won't care who you bought it from.

    Waiting until next week and the 131230 firmware sounds like a plan. Feel free to IM me on this board when it is shipping. HF

    Amazon US and new 0801 vendors

    I see that 0801 on Amazon, I also have Prime but I see Free Shipping with no Prime shipping options. Yes, I am well acquainted with 0801 shipping times from (and to) China. :( I have some other stuff on order from last week and this, and have been getting re-scheduling messages from UPS...

    Amazon US and new 0801 vendors

    That is a good price. I already have a microSD card (actually, like many 0801 owners and former owners, I have several). I was wondering if the 8GB model is preferred or deprecated. If it really doesn't buy me anything I could certainly go for the non-8GB model. What firmware is this shipping...

    Interesting. For a risky purchase, I'd rather rely on Amazon's return policies than eBay's/Paypal's right now.

    Amazon US and new 0801 vendors

    I see e-prance and Ojocam is now selling 0801's on eBay, and Ojacam is now a member here. Are any of these the latest firmware? I just got my refund from e-prance, and am looking to buy an HD dashcam from a US vendor (that is not e-prance). The 0801 is still everything I want... if it only...

    E-Prance miserable experience

    After another two "please check" emails my refund has arrived. Only they sent it as a paypal Payment instead of a Refund, so I lost four and a half bucks (I have a seller account). And they didn't refund me for the extra mount I ordered. I guess 22.50 is the cost of a painful lesson. Don't order...

    E-Prance miserable experience

    Heh now the latest response (1/6) is they refunded me on 12/28... even paypal isn't that slow in notifications. I know what's coming next- they'll ask me to confirm my paypal address... via eBay messages... were you can't type an "@" or a ".com" or a "gmail" without getting flagged.

    Firmware 20131202 is out - E-Prance

    I advise against buying from e-prance, as they have strung me along until well after 45 or 90 days on a refund, and now it looks like I'll never get it.

    E-Prance miserable experience

    They just missed another promised refund date... by a week. Last week they claim they tested my unit (never mentioned this requirement before) and the GPS works (never complained about the GPS) and now that it was tested, it will be referred to Angel's boss for a refund. Of course nothing has...

    E-Prance miserable experience

    Not too happy with e-prance right now. Was promised a paypal refund in 2-3 working days on Dec 18th, it's been 4 working days and I've heard nothing from them or paypal. This is par for the course. All communications take 36 hours for a response. Should be 12 to 20 hours. They perpetually ask...

    Shuts down while driving

    Mine failed like that with a fast card (SanDisk Class 10), when full or practically full. Mine failed like unpaidbill and liam0918 with the SanDisk Class 4- anywhere from 1/2 to 2/3 full, would run briefly but wouldn't actually record after that. I found a reformat fixed it long enough for it...

    Smallest Ambarella Car DVR a.k.a. Mini 0801

    Sorry to hear that, Josh. The best workarounds are to set to no audio, 1 min loops, and make sure your power jack is firmly in place, you can tweak it a bit with pliers or a vice until it fits tight. If that doesn't work out, if you bought it from any of the recommended vendors here (Givoe...

    Shuts down while driving

    Check to see if you have actual video recorded after 'sign off', when you turned it back on. If you have video after the turn-off, it may be a power problem as Lunar stated. If there are no videos after that first sign-off, then you are chasing the recording lock-out bug. The only "fix" for...
