After 6 months there is a new firmware "update". Will this solve all the issues so liberally demonstrated by the Unleashed 22?
Of course -- not at all.
I have, after the usual troubles of firmware update which includes reinstalling the app, killing the app, resetting the 22'M devices, connecting, reconnecting, unpairing, pairing, and whatever else the non-wizards of Scamography have implemented, found that nothing works. As before.
Since I have sunk hundreds of Euros into this product, I cling to the hope that a miracle will happen and that the crappy stuff peddled by Scamography will magically work like they should from the onset.
Tested with Z30, Z fc, and Zf. The symptoms vary though. A new bug is that the app itself ever so often hangs and locks up the phone, so has to be killed. Or enters a wild loop where it over and over again asks me to pair the same camera.. When I got tired of answering this question and tried to unpair the 22'M and reconnect, the app got hung hard. I had to reset the phone.
On the Z30, the 22'M gets the 'turqoise' LED lit and all seems well. However, no accessories were detected and after I tried to unpair and repair my GL-770M, again the app locked up.
The Zf flatly refused to have anything to do with the GL-770M although for once, the Unleashed app "found" the accessory and showed a green light. However, the GPS option went to red and would never give any information. Or I got the message (on camera) it had entered 'upload mode' and the Zf thereafter locked up. In sympathy, the Unleashed also locked up.
In addition to draining the camera batteries -- as the prominent "feature" of the Unleashed 22 befrore -- the app now also drains the phone battery going from 100% to 50% in 30 minutes.
As I have concluded before: the Unleashed 22 project is the prime example of a total failure and when the company continues to sell such junk, they are in fact scamming people. Stay away. Spread the word. Get your money back before the company goes bankrupt.. Oh wait -- the company never answers e-mails and support requests.
