Great, I'm not bothered about the g sensor.
What model is yours? (8gb internal/gps, etc). I don't think mine has the 8gb internal memory, how do I check this?
Thanks
I can see that most of the posts in here are about basic things that should work anyway. You guys are trying to make this product work at least like in the specifications... so I think it is a shame on producers side that they do not come quick with solutions; after all, our feedback in here should be more valued by producers, as they would have a big advantage on sales...
But if we leave these "basic specifications" that should work anyway, do you know if I can hope in near future for some WDR or something to improve night quality? Do you know if hardware of 0801 supports FW that would do better quality at night? Of it is just a dream?
anyone tried a toshiba class 4 32gb card?
the internal 8gb on my 0801 is a toshiba class 4.
working really well as an "outer" card.
may get a 32gb to try.
I just joined here today. Lots of great information - thanks to those of you who are posting a lot.
I live in an "accident prone" US city. We're 2x+ more likely to get in an automobile accident than the national average. That's why I decided to get this camera.
I purchased a 16gb class 4 card but I haven't tested to see if it will loop and then overwrite old files yet. My Mini0801 has an older version of the firmware too . I think it's the 20130903. It might be 0913 though.
Unfortunately, I mounted the damn thing a little too close to the rearview mirror post and now part of the post shows up on the video. Not all that much but enough to be annoying. The video still looks great though. I guess I could just take it off and reapply it with some scotch mounting tape?
Thanks.
When I'm testing I use a combination of power sources. I have a special USB cable that I cut the data wires on so my laptap will feed power only. (preventing the 0801's automatic mass storage mode from kicking in) I also powered it from an iPad USB power supply. (high amperage output) I've even tried powering it from a USB battery stick I have. In the car I powered it from the original cigarette power adapter, and the amazon mini-usb cigarette power adapter I bought. The 0801 is still going strong on the latest GPS+Internal-8GB specific flavor of 20130924. (has yet to trip up still)
Even though I don't need/use G-Sensor, I'd like to know my camera is 100% functional .
I sent a message to Lia/Givoe explaining how I was happy their new firmware made my camera stable for recordings.
I then asked she look into the G-Sensor issues with the factory. (so we can get a complete fix for everyone at some point)
-And about the new WF1 I'm using up front now, I didn't use the lame Suction cup mount. (you're right it's too bulky) It comes with a nice tiny short double stick tape mount. This mount surface is the same exact width as the black strip above my rear view mirror. From the outside it now looks like one continuous stock black continuous rectangle piece. The WF1 is mounted dead center now and blends in perfectly from the outside even better than the 0801. (looks like a rain sensor) Even the mini-USB wire is at a right angle so the wire is out of site. I can't see the mount or dashcam from the drivers seat. (it's completely out of site)
-The mini 0801 was out of site but the whole thing needed to be mounted to the lower right of the mirror. (or the dirt patch was in the way) It looked looked odd from the passengers point of view floating off center. (and didn't blend in nearly as well as the dead-center WF1 does) I'll explain all this in my future review I'm slowing putting together. The mini 0801 is the perfect rear camera, the wire follows along the same center break light wire. (on the fixed arm the pushes the whole window down. (it's a convertible) 0801 is out of the way even when everything folds up. (it's a hard glass window) It fills the GPS logging gap the WF1 doesn't have as well.
I'll take pix/videos in the near future = ) I'll probably put it on the Smart Car of America forum. I'm closer to the quest for full 365 degrees! My car is so short it's practically full coverage now. I'm excited to finally have WDR too.
Here's one WF1 mount example I googled up, but imagine it exactly center and my window is much steeper.

Hi,
I have a 0801 GPS internal 8Gb from eprance. It came with firmware 20130903. So far so good. There was no CD and no software on the internal flash, so eprance linked the software. The hardware is OK, time, speed and gps location are stamped in the video. But there are no gps log files. Someone else mentioned earlier to set the ´choose card´ to internal. After power down it always returns to external, I have no card external. If the gps log files are included in the MOV file both viewer software do not understand it. CarGpsPlayer and Registrator Viewer.
On the internal flash disk:
DCIM
DCIM쁂⏤쁋
MISC
After lots of emails to eprance they want me to return the unit! It seems a small software problem I guess?

Ok, I understand that night image will not be improvedNew model of this one (not the low end knockoffs that are appearing) is using a chipset that supports WDR
Ok, I understand that night image will not be improvedIn this case I feel sorry I bought the camera. Mobius would have been a better choice for image quality.
Yes, but here we are talking about existing 0801. New models -> possibilities are unlimited with those..new model I'm sure will do much better at night...
