I seem to be having an issue where it will sometimes not record anything when i first start the car. it's not consistent either. i've tried 1 3 and 5 minute loop times and so far 5 seems to be ok - i plugged it in on my desk and left it pointed at a clock for like 8 hours and it did fine. i power cycled it a few times as well, just to simulate the car stopping/starting, but it behaved normally in the house. right now it's behaving normally in the car. i have also formatted the sd card in the camera more than once, including when i first got the camera. firmware is latest version, 0523.
taking teh card out, putting it in an SD adapter and plugging it straight to my laptop showed no errors. every file i tried opened just fine. chkdsk showed no errors even when searching for bad sectors.
i did not have a RO folder on the sd card at all, so it's not because it's full of locked files. that said, i turned off the G sensor anyway, just in case. right now it's set on a 5 minute loop - 3 and 1 both gave me issues in the car in under a week after working normally for a while - they were initially overwriting old files, but for whatever reason, the 1 and 3 minute loop times quit overwriting after a while.
sd card is a ridata 32gb class 10 that was included with the camera as a package deal from spytec. if it starts flaking out on 5 minute loop time, i also have a 32gb transcend class 10 card in my phone that i might swap into the camera (just gotta move all my stuff off the phone's card first).
i know @MARINE said he was having loop issues and possibly some other users as well. could everyone else post up their issues with loop recording and see if maybe we can come up with some sort of pattern?
