I have a new Biker-Pro. Very intermittent with several problems which I think MIGHT be related.
I am using firmware version BP2015101301.
1. Last video file recorded is often corrupted and cannot be read on any movie player. All other files play fine. Sometimes, even last file is okay. Seems to be fine if I first charge the module battery with the unit OFF for several hours.
2. Unit sometimes crashes, both blue lights stay on continuously (no flashing) with or without external power, and cannot be shut off with the power button. Then I discovered pressing BOTH power and wireless buttons at the same time will shut the unit off (or else it stays on until the battery is drained).
3. Wireless works for a while, but it seems to time- out in a minute or so, is this normal? This is with supplied external power.
4, (this might even be the problem with the above three) The internal battery doesn't seem to charge when the unit is on, being used normally, with external +13.8 DC voltage. The red charging indicator on the module stays off when the unit has external DC voltage. But the charging indicator is on when the unit is turned off and requires a long charge even after unit is on with external power for hours. It seems to need to have the battery charged after it is on and being used normally, after a several hour ride.
My guess is after a long ride the module battery is too dead to write the last date file and it gets corrupted.
I now have the unit here in the house ran off a 13.5 volt DC power supply and I am able to duplicate every problem I had while it was installed on my bike, as listed above.
I am using a 64 GB micro SD card, class 10, but I had the same problems when I used smaller cards.
