iOS of course ???.
Have you had chance to try all of the tabs ?.
Are they all working ?.

Yay! latest update definitely fixes the front screen demisting bug.

I’ve just updated to 2.0.3 and run the demister, and internal temp went from 9 deg to 13 in a couple of minutes, and when I physically checked the car, opening the door I was met with that delicious blast of warm air again

As mentioned on some other forums the update is not working for some. Showing a fuel tank with 0% instead of charge.

Going to just leave it and hope it fixes itself rather than mess around.

Oh well, seems that the car had just gone to sleep, even though it was well under 24 hours since it was last driven. Probably wants to hibernate in this cold! Awake and ready to go now after unlocking and locking again with the key fob.

If I couldn't lock/unlock the car with the key fob from inside the house, without going out into the current sub-zero temperatures to do it, I'd be quite cross. The entire point, which is to warm the car up before I have to leave the house, would be kind of negated.

But all is well.

Same issue, the schedule charge function is missing too

Go to the Battery section then click on the "nut" icon at the top-right.

Just downloaded the update and glad to say it is working again. iPhone

Has anyone changed their phone (eg got a new iPhone) and transferred the app? Are there any special steps that need to be done, or will the app work (as much as it ever does) immediately on the new phone?

It should just be a case of installing the app on the new phone and logging in (with the correct details). The car is bound to your account and not to a specific device. That's why you can login to your account on several devices and still see your car. (Each device you login on will then cause any previously logged in device to be logged out).

As long as you use your account login, you can connect to the server from any phone.

I got a new Android phone in August and it was absolutely seamless. No trouble at all.

ismart in the car turns off the app at a certain time of the solar cycle it comes back when the car is started it restarts every day

I've found MG Server at times unavailable. Then later/ following day back ok. I assume you successfully registered?

 

[google1901]

I'm referring to central MG server (Chine or wherever located?). Whether my MG5 is on or off iSmart works fine. However, some members within the MG forum have thought some of the problems are due to their respective 4G phone network. So, yes a few variables to consider.

the ismart app on the phone turns itself off every day it gets better when the car is started it starts again every day who what can I do about it?

MG ZS EV 2022

 

[siteguru]

Turns itself off? As in it physically crashes? Or it just can't connect to the car?

Does anyone know how the ISMART gets a connection or the car MG ZS EV 2022

There's a sim card in the car which connects to the MG server.
