I have 2 Yi's since this day and like to share my first experiences so far.
Hw: Z23L, Fw: latest official 1.2.13, App latest 2.0
1. My HTC One phone can connect to wifi network, i can see the preview in app, but cannot change settings. Just give an error message: "Failed to update settings". I wanted to install App to my Lenovo tab, but google play says my device isn't supported. I downloaded the installer APK file, and installed without any error. Guess what? Works flawlessly, i can finally change menu items without error. But what about my phone? At field i don't want to take my tab always with me.
2. I enabled AV out, because i like to watch live video on my 16:9 TFT monitor. But the picture is distorted vertically, i can see black bars over/under. Why? I don't found any menu settings for it. Gopro work the same, but it write at least OSD infos (battery, time, etc) to the black bars. Here i cannot read anything. Even a red recording circle isn't visible. So why is the picture not in 16:9 format?
3. I cannot switch off the cam, but with wifi still on, so i could power on remotely with my phone. When i power off, wifi is also off?
4. In the app i cannot see preview in full screen, only about 1/3 of the screen. I cannot see the compositions, which is visible at edges, etc. I even cannot rotate to landscape mode.
5. Lack of playback recorded footage through hdmi port.
Ok, i know this is a cheap cam, but those things above are very tiresome for me
Looks like i don't have focus problem and the picture is sharp also in the corners! That's a good news!
