Even if there were something wrong with the Google Play store on two of my phones, it doesn’t explain why the Google Play store Web site shows the old version (on my PC and phones). Or why it’s only the Wyze app.
As I said, every Web browser on my PC (Chrome, Brave, and Edge) shows version 2.5.28 of the Wyze app on the Google Play store’s Web site. (I included a screenshot in my post.) You can ignore everything I’ve said about the phones.
Update: My guess is that the Wyze app is being released as beta. So, I joined the beta program. Ta da! It immediately updated to 2.6.40. This explains why the Google Play Web site says the latest version is 2.5.28. It explains why the Google Play Store app says it’s 2.5.28. It also explains why some people see the latest version as 2.6.40–they’re in the beta program. My guess is that, if those people go to the Google Play store in a private tab of their Web browser, they’ll see 2.5.28. (If they don’t use a private tab, they’re logged in to their Google account, which, of course, will show the–beta–version that’s installed on their phone.)
This discussion made me bring up the Play store on my PC (using Chrome), and to verify what skst says, it DOES show the OLD version in Google Play Store…version 2.5.28. IDK, maybe because it’s a pc and not a mobile device. Would you even install the WYZE app on a PC???..not sure, maybe that’s why it’s not the current version on a pc. Have no explanation for the Nokia and Moto phones not having the 2.6…very strange.
Just checked my phone and it’s version 2.6.42. I did not opt in to the beta program. It updated last week through play store updates.
V2.6.40 was the beta, but the public version has surpassed that and is V2.6.42, I also posted a screenshot of the public version in the Google Play store
Hi, I wouldn’t have thought it be too much of an issue to make it work in the UK. Other Alexa apps work. I get the sign on but I think it’s down to Wyze not talking to the UK side of Alexa website… Shame as it would be handy to have
With what FW?
On my Samsung J3 I found Android 2.6.42 to work well with V2 FW 4,9,5,28 but to be “horribly laggy” with the latest the official 4.9.5.36.
@craigyboy007, we would need to make multiple infrastructure changes (such as adding international servers) that we aren’t ready for yet to get UK Alexa approval.
@Poppycock, sorry to hear that this one isn’t working for you either! I’ll tell the team.
I am not sure what FW version added the shortcuts but when using an SD card the ability to quickly click on Playback is fantastic! So simple and easy thank you.
1 – Livestream video/audio is virtually lag-free (~1 sec) and roughly in-sync.
SD Playback video/audio is inconsistently out-of-sync: audio sometimes early, sometimes in-sync, and sometimes quite late.
2 – When viewing a 12-sec cloud clip Event, then tapping the SD card icon to go to the corresponding footage on the SD card, the Timeline has no < and > buttons to jump to the previous or next Event (as it does if SD Playback footage is accessed directly via the link on the Liveview screen.)
Is this by design?
3 – When accessing SD Playback footage directly via Liveview, fat-fingering the < button immediately after access (hoping to go to the most recent SD Event footage) changes the Timeline date to Dec 31 1969.
Tapping and dragging the Timeline back a bit first serves to avoid this.
4 – The status of the speaker icon (x’d out or not) in Playback doesn’t correspond consistently to the actual state of speaker off/on.
@HDRock@WyzeJasonJ Do you guys experience the same thing re erratic SD Playback audio sync on your Nexus 7’s?
Same issue for me in this version (2.6.42). SD playback is now terribly erratic (jerky video and terribly out of sync audio). SD playback worked fine in previous version.
When jumping directly to SD playback (from the 12 second event video) using the SD card icon, there are no transport control button and, initially, no green bars indicating where video is recorded on the timeline. Once the timeline is “touched” the green bars appear, but there are still no transport control buttons. During SD playback the audio is lagging horribly
Constant camera connection issues since updating to the latest app (2.6.42) and camera firmware. This version is a complete mess on my phone. Android 6.0.1 on my phone as well.
