nomen, that is not only un-suitbale solder tool, but also rough hand work...........
a plastic piece is missing
That is not my solder work. I didn't do this. I copied the photo from this thread to show the wire I want to give more slack.nomen, that is not only un-suitbale solder tool, but also rough hand work...........

I suggest you leave it alone unless you can feel that the cable is trapped or being pulled when you gently adjust the angle. If it rotates freely then there isn't a problem, most are assembled correctly. If it doesn't rotate freely than have a look.That is not my solder work. I didn't do this. I copied the photo from this thread to show the wire I want to give more slack.

That's me.
Today I received my 0806 from Gear Best (pre-ordered on 30/01/2015).
At first I was very happy as it was clearly 2nd batch (but still in old packaging ), included tidy clips, screws, latest firmware etc...
GPS locked very quickly (under a minute). After playing with it for a while, I proceeded to install it in the car. This is where problems started. As I'm in Australia, I decided to mount it on a left hand side. This meant that I had to flip the image and rotate camera (this is improvement compared to my 0801). After I did this, GPS was no longer recognized. It wasn't just not locking, but icon was missing and green light was OFF (ie. no hardware detected). I put camera in 0801 mount and still no GPS hardware detected. Then I rotated camera back and GPS icon came ON when camera was in furthest possible position. I tried the same thing in 0806 mount, and it only worked in this single position. Clearly the issue was with the camera
I'm just wondering what date did you order it and what was the shipping date?So just got mine from gearbest. Before reading this thread. I turned it. And now it's not working
I'm so furious it's going to cost a fortune to send back as I have no experience in soldering.
How unacceptable
Ordered the 11th of MarchI'm just wondering what date did you order it and what was the shipping date?
So I think I've got a similar problem. I ordered my Mini0806 from Gearbest in late January, shipped in early-mid-Feb, received 24 March. It's a 2nd gen with the old style packaging.
It doesn't charge/connect when any cable (cigarette outlet or USB to computer) is attached to the GPS base, but it does when the cable is connected to the camera. It records in the car (cigarette outlet to camera) and I can download video (via USB from computer directly to the camera).
When I take the end cap off, I can see the green cable is disconnected.
I really don't want to wait another 2 months to ship this back to Gearbest and get a replacement that may (or may not) work. Before I disconnect it any further and try to fix it myself, would a disconnected green wire here affect the ability of the camera to get power from the GPS base, or does the green cable only affect the GPS signal reception? If the green wire would affect the power, I'll try re-soldering it. If it only affects the GPS signal, that tells me I have other issues, and I see about going back to Gearbest for a replacement.
Thanks

If one wire is disconnected then it is likely the cable got trapped in which case it is quite likely that either another wire is also disconnected or the cable has been partly cut.would a disconnected green wire here affect the ability of the camera to get power from the GPS base, or does the green cable only affect the GPS signal reception?
