Got my One on Thursday, charged it up, activated fine, and FW update to 3.5.2 without any problems.
I did have some some issues with the micro USB seating fully for charging while still in the case, which others have reported. I popped the unit out, and at some point ripped the silicone casing at the indicator light. Getting the power button to align was also a bit tricky.
Anyway, itās back in the casing, hit the button and the screen was off. Threw it in my bag for Fridayās trip to the DZ. Itās clear now that the unit wasnāt actually off. When I took it out that next morning, the unit was on and reading 273, the difference in elevation between home and the DZ. It had been running for at least 2 hours during my drive. I wasnāt able to cancel out of this screen, and the unit eventually ran out of juice.
I charged it up again at the DZ and took it up on 5 jumps. One jump didnāt log at all. I was seated under the wing of a Caravan, which Iāve read has been a problem. The other 4 logged and synced well. I did rip the opposite corner of the silicone case getting it back in. A replacement case is already on its way.
I was curious about the cloud sync so I tethered it to my phone. That was a mistake. The unit hit my phone hard, and zapped most of my phone battery, so I wonāt be doing that again. I canāt really speak to the data load - my provider has the day at 164MB but I donāt know how much of that comes from me and how much from the unit.
At the end of the day, I packed up and drove home. Same deal as the drive there. The unit was logging my drive. I left it overnight and it was still logging at 10hrs, and no way to cancel out of this. I found my phoneās SIM key and did a hard reset. I think the SIM key will be added to my DZ tools from now on.
Other random things - the safety warnings. Iād like to completely disable these. At 1000ft, it gives a seat belt alert. My DZās policy is 1500ft, so instead of being able to see teh altitude clearly, I have to clear the alert to know when I hit 1500ft. I also donāt need reminders to check my gear and pins. Theyāre nice, but Iād rather have unfiltered information. I do like the landing screen - I think weāll give some of those functions a go next week.
Data analysis: I couldnāt get the GPX data into Paralog. What are people using? Iād like to be able to analyze my swoops, and the cloud portal isnāt particularly interactive.
Anyway, those are my initial observations. More later.
