Thanks Loki, that link worked. I am able to get on the beta and test it out. Will post feedback at 2.42 app Beta Test 5/1/2023

rzbetts · May 2, 2023, 4:59pm

This is a BETA
So this is the type of feedback Wyze needs to resolve issues

Sethm1 · May 2, 2023, 6:58pm

How/where do I get the code?

Loki · May 3, 2023, 1:54pm

@Sethm1 After you install TestFlight on your iOS and tap the link I referenced (and included here), I’m not aware of the need for a code. Are you seeing a request for a code? If so, can you clarify. Or better yet, provide a screenshot?

Sethm1 · May 3, 2023, 2:33pm

Yes, developer to provide a code. Odd I have used test flight in the past.
Here is screenshot….

@Sethm1 After you installed TestFlight, did you go back and click on this link on the Beta signup page?

Sethm1 · May 3, 2023, 3:58pm

Oops. No. Doing it now. Thx.

ralph2 · May 4, 2023, 1:07pm

its a little buggy, but much appreciated!

Big_monkey · May 4, 2023, 8:18pm

Well, it is a beginning hopefully they will improve over time

dbtoo · May 4, 2023, 8:41pm

Geez, another 3 or 4 years.

Big_monkey · May 4, 2023, 9:20pm

Let’s hope not

milehiguy · May 9, 2023, 7:26am

I appreciate you thinking of me! I hadn’t seen the May 1st update in this thread from @peepeep until now. Hoping that this becomes a reality soon!

peepeep · May 9, 2023, 4:32pm

Indeed!

I just tested the Beta v2.42.0 (b283) on Android 12 tablet and the rotation is still off by 90 degree.

This is still not fix in the beta (watch the video in first post):

Landscape becomes Portrait mode and vis versa when “Auto-Rotate” is On (in multi-camera live view).

Other apps are respecting the orientation. The issue seems specific to wyze app. Please help fix it…

Sethm1 · May 12, 2023, 3:32am

Todays beta update did the same thing to my iPad

For those who don’t use Reddit, here is a courtesy copy of what Wyze told us about Landscape mode in the AMA this week:

Wyze Community Appreciation Day - Thank You

Question Reply

“Notification when a camera or the Wyze server goes off line would be awesome also landscape for tablet please” We are looking for the solutions and the main concern on our side we do not want to flood users with false events. We are currently working on adding comprehensive landscape layout and it is a high priority UI feature. We are actually working on portions of this that could be released as early as 2.43 or 2.44 to improve UI. - u/WyzeMaximK

“App-wide Landscape support for tablets, in my case an iPad. This means starting with the Home screen that lists devices. I was probably the first to formally request this feature, which was eventually added to the forum Wishlist, back in early 2018. Due to a physical disability, it’s difficult for me to rotate the iPad (or my head) 90° every time I launch the app, just to see the Main Menu normally. A majority of people, me included, operate their iPad in Landscape orientation most of the time. Note that of the 86 apps I currently have installed, only 2 don’t support Landscape. Please take care of this.” We are definately aware of the problem and it is a high priority feature. Landscape mode for the Home page is targeting for 2.42. Then we are going adopt landscape for the Events screen, and next for devices settings, because those screens are the most complicated. - u/WyzeMaximK

"For both the App and the Firmware teams. In a letter, the Founders said the following: in 2023, because this year, much like our first year in business, will be the year of the CAMERA. With your help, we will revisit everything about the Wyze Cam experience. We will focus hard on hearing all your feedback and making the best camera hardware and software in existence. Product launches in 2023 will also be focused on cameras, with few exceptions. Get ready for some big camera announcements in just a few weeks! And we will of course continue to support and update all Wyze products. With that context in mind, please answer the following: What efforts have you made toward these goals so far this year that most added to that, and what we can expect for the second half of the year? What feedback are you hearing loud and clear from users related to your team’s particular responsibilities or area of influence? Soon the app teams will be releasing many improvements and fixes to make apps more efficient, We are working on several high demand features (frequently asked by users) which we will try to release this summer and early autumn. The application is the business card of the company, this is the first thing that the user sees and starts using, because of that, the app team was working hard and we still have a lot of work to do to make the app look and operate better, we constantly are researching new features, and improving current functionalities, we are carefully monitoring user feedback to satisfy most of our users. The app is one big system, we can not make something specific working well and forget about rest of the functionalities, e.g. if we do dark mode, we do it across all app, if we do landscape we do for whole app and so on. - u/WyzeMaximK

And of course, Jason told us the following this week:

milehiguy · May 12, 2023, 12:27pm

Thanks so much for posting this! Even though I couldn’t attend the AMA, I’m so pleased that my question/concern (“App-wide Landscape support for tablets, …”) was directly addressed. I haven’t run 2.42 Beta but am very much looking forward to the released version. Thanks again.

SuddenPluto · May 15, 2023, 10:55pm

Hi Wyze. I took a new video of the issue.

This is on Beta v2.42.0 (b288)
Android 12 - 10" tablet

Also repros on the latest released app. For comparison, I was using TinyCam.

Maybe give us an advance option to +90/180/270 degree rotation to apply on top of the device sensor in the settings?

WyzeJasonJ · May 15, 2023, 11:35pm

That is because so far we have only started to get this rolling out to iPad users on the 2.42 beta.
