NEVER upgrade w/ internal storage firmware to a NO storage device, it will be damaged, confidently.

This seems normal to me...ie, if you have the internal memory slot (which you did), whether it is in use or not, you can use either firmware. Evidently there are two chip sets, one that supports two storage devices and one that only supports one. I'm not saying his statement is true or false, because I don't know, but if it is true, this is how it makes sense to me.I ordered my mini0801 from e-prance with GPS and without internal memory. I got it a few weeks later and had no choice to change internal/external memory. (Well thats normal so far).
The akward thing is: I disassembled my mini0801 a few weeks later - and saw that there is an internal SD-Card slot soldered to the PCB. According to the above sentence my mini0801 should be damaged - but it isn't. I kept the no internal mem firmware on it till we got 20131026 internal mem version. I flashed that fw and now I'm recording to internal memory without any problem
Hi Everyone,
So whats the consensus? Is the 20131202 firmware is good?
Still waiting on my card. I ordered with GPS / no internal by accident.
So far so good on both of my o801's. (one with internal 8GB, one without internal, both GPS)
Both cards are full, and it's yet to give me the low speed card, or shut down. I'm using 32GB Samsung Class 6 cards in both.
Hi Guys
I have been reading all your comments with great attention and i am wondering if an upgrade to the new firmware will sort out my problems.
Mine is a GPS with internal memory and use a 32gb Samsung class 6 (I did my research before buying!)
I am having a few issues with the auto on and record. I leave the cam in the car / connected to the power. I seem to get different outcomes and there does not seem to be a reason why. This is what happens sometimes:
1) When the ignition is turned on the cam powers up and records, screen turns off after 1 min, blue light blinks (showing record) then turns off when ignition switched off (Perfect)
2) When the ignition is turned on the cam powers up and records, screen turns off after 1 min, no blue light flash, fail to record
3) When the ignition is turned on the cam powers up, not recording, then powers off after 1 min
4) Once, it powered on and stayed on without recording and wouldn't turn off until I long pressed the power button.
Am i just unlucky of have i got a dud one?
Cheers
Seth
Here are the custom versions (custom logo, no boot sound)...
That's with the one it automatically installs in your card right? Use the old software you used before and it'll work just fineI just updated my firmware to 1202, the gps now says I'm in China.
Perhaps related, while checking the time settings, I noticed that mi GMT value was +8, and I'm in Pacific time, so I changed it back to -8. I did this immediately after the upgrade. The subsequent test footage showed me in China (using the DVR app)
