It gets very confusing with you folks; earlier this year I complained that the back arrows for camera apps were in the cutout for front camera on the pixel 5a screen; next day I was switched to beta app with the issue fixed; since then the app has switched back and forth from stable to beta w/o my input; since most recent stable app version I’m back to the arrows being too high again and very difficult to go back in the app. Any way to get the beta back?
I wonder if Wyze ever feel they’re stuck on a hamster wheel? While they’re running as fast as they can go to release new products, they’ve become stagnant in improving the existing product line. The pure example of “Jack of all trades, master of few”.
Never has this been seen more than the foundation app. The developer seem to be having a hard time embracing the reality that people do use iPads in landscape. Perhaps a new set of eyes can provide a more engaging and interactive experience.
The WyzeCam, the product the has established Wyze as a serious player seem to have hit an evolution brick wall. While the V3 was a visually improvement over the V2, along with being weather sealed, questions are be asked like What’s Next? I would think 2K resolution and 5GHz support.
Wyze, while you’re busy changing up the menu, the customers that got you here still love the meat and potatoes and we’re hungry.
My cameras load quickly, like they have for years, about 20% of the time, for the last 3 or 4 months now. I’ve just been waiting for an app fix, but no dice. Two V2 & two V3 load super slow ( 3 to 5 gray screen “reboot camera” tries) before they load. Up until this week they would do that then connect with 50kbs to 120kbs and then go to zero within 10 seconds, but now they stay connected. The rest of the time they connect within a second and work the way they used to.
The events work great all the time, with instant notifications and great playback, even the very long events.
Some days my tablet with Android 11 works on all cameras, but my Samsung S20 takes the long road. Other days they switch. Stopping and restarting the app sometimes fixes the long loading, but just for that session, so next time I open the app I have to start over. The phone SEEMS to work all the time away from my wifi, but it could just be a coincidence.
Why did everything work fine for years, then go bad this year? Was it the AWS problem in December or the subscription push soon after, or are there just so many Wyze products now that the app coding is overwhelmed ?
I know it always the customer’s network at fault, but the only changes to mine have been disconnecting three unused Roku streamers and doubling my ISP speed ( 3 weeks ago). My wifi detector app shows a good and great 2.4g signal at all cameras. Yes, I’ve done all the troubleshooting multiple times including reinstalling the cameras ( my doorbell died on that hill, it’s a brick that won’t reinstall now ), Why are the events connecting perfectly through my network to the cloud and back, but the live view is so hit and miss? And when they finally connect the signal is strong.
Reading this forum and the Playstore Wyze app reviews shows me that this type of problem has become common in the last few months.
I may be paranoid, but I am wondering if the next Wyze product will be a modem/router that magically clears up all the connection issues.
Any bets?
