Mini 0801 with Internal Memory and GPS.
The firmware was 20131026 and the sd card (as provided by E-Prance) is a Class 10 Samsung 32Gb.
Exhibited the usual problems - Storage i/o error and Low Speed Card Error.
Further investigation revealed only 23.6Gb of external stroage had been used and the camera would not record any more clips.

After a few emails to E-Prance I was sent the following firmware:

20130922-NO1-SPIF-2710-2CARD-GPS

I formatted the Samsung Class 10 32Gb card provided by E-Prance and installed the firmware.

I ran this firmware from USB connected to PC , switching on and off, recording video and audio and it looped through the SD Card twice. Windows Explorer showed a more or less constant 29.0Gb of Used Space and 623Mb of Free Space. Fixed I thought!!

The disappointment came when I fitted it in the car. As soon as the card became full the camera switched off.

One other thing I noticed. With the original 20131026 firmware the screen went blank during recording, however, with the updated firmware 20130922 the screen remained live.

Where to now I ask myself.
 
Don't use a class 10 card anymore. Get E-Prance to replace that card with another class 4 or 6 card. It's their fault they supplied you with a class 10 card in the first place when the thin manual says class 10 card can be too fast for Mini 0801.
 
They now recommand Kingmax Class 6 apparently. Also, could you post this 0922 firmware? Angel won't send it to me.
