  • I did a video 24 hours ago on uboxxing and setting up a Motus MINI!
    After using this just for 24 hours, I am hear to tell everyone how much of a Pain in the ____ it is to use.
    HAving to make sure it's tethered to your phone and the app connected, is a bit much. Not only that, but SOMETIMES , this also causes performance issues on your phone when trying to surf internet, watch youtube, or use apps. Watch the video for more!
    On this device, you must tether it to you phone when you get in your vehicle and run the app ( in the background of your phone) while you are driving.
    The motus is still on testnet and no on full main net yet.
    Please do your own research on this device as this video is not financial advice.

    I had my brand new car battery drained over night with the Motus. I ended up buying a splitter and modifying it to wire the power into a circuit that only turns on when you start the car. I also use a second cell phone as the HotSpot and running the app that connects to my main phones HotSpot to get Internet.
    But I agree it's not as passive as it should be. You should not have to open the app and start the drive.

      @GrumpyDadOutdoors 4 месяца назад

      Thanks. Fortunately, I have not had that happen yet, even with a splitter and the Motus and a Dimo plugged into it. I’m wondering if this has to do with the car manufacturer also. I’ve noticed when I get into my car, neither device is powered up until I start my vehicle.

      Oh interesting,@@GrumpyDadOutdoors yeah it's possible it's different for different cars. I tested my car and the number 16 pin is always on. I also have both plugged into my car but the Dimo goes to sleep on it's own, the Motus never does.

    Very informative! Does the motus earn like the macaron? like the macaron you only need to connect once a week to earn rewards. I'm thinking maybe just connecting the motus sometimes since theres these problems.. i hope they'll get to bluetooth by mainnet

    • @grumpydad56
      @grumpydad56  5 месяцев назад

      It also connects Bluetooth. It uses that for the provisioning. But needs to tether to stay connected. And you need to stay connected while you drive . That’s the scoring that I talk about. If you fall under a 50% score , you won’t receive any rewards at all .

    I didn't drive my car for 48 hours and had the motus mini plugged in the entire time. Now my car battery is completely dead. So I suggest unplugging it when you or not driving or the very least unplug it if you know you won't be driving your car for a day because you are not giving the alternator a chance to recharge the battery and this little device is a vampire sucking life out of the battery.

    • @grumpydad56
      @grumpydad56  Месяц назад

      This seems to be very vehicle specific. I never unplug mine and on my work vehicle, I may go 2-3 days without using the vehicle and don’t have issues. And one of my friends, his automatically turns off when the vehicle turns off. I really think it’s all about how the OBT port handles everything. But there are several people in the discord that complain about the same issue you do. I know they supposed to be addressing this.

    I am with you I bought two of these devices and neither one of these Motus will pair, When I contact Motus they tell me its a IOS problem with the iPhone then they tell me its the Network I am using in Canada which is Rogers, Then they tell me to change the sim which means I have to change the carriers. Are you Serious ? I would have expected this device to first work with IOS and second I would not expect a carrier to matter, A Hotspot is a Hotspot

    • @grumpydad56

    • @grumpydad56
      @grumpydad56  4 месяца назад +1

      That won’t work. The Motus only pays while being connected. It must be connected to the app to get paid. So while it’s disconnected, it won’t do challenges and you’re missing out. Where the Macron, that would probably work. The adapter is well worth it

      I know it starts at 50% and you move up each challenge as long as it’s connected. Just make sure every time you get in your car, it’s connected and you have two greens on your app as you drive around

    This is concerning to me. When I open the box and scan the QR code to download the app, it immediately gets flagged as malware. Understandable considering the beta testing however, directly below the QR code in the instructions to download the app, it actually says the URL of the QR code. It is not at all the same thing. The QR code is to an immediate download which is highly suspicious.
