    Just a tip. I had my PS2 updated at the Volvo dealer. After the latest update, the internet was not working anymore. They spent 4 hours trying to fix the problem and I had to come back for more research this week. Tethering was also not working anymore so it was a bit annoying.
    I did a network reset in the setting menu. That worked like a charm. Besides the signal icon the LTE sign came back and so did the (Spotify)music 
    Maybe this will help people who have the same issue.

    Yes annoying software - you're so right. Total loss of 4G signal, and then the connection network - even when 4G magically reappears! Loss of Google maps at random times, and again whilst actually en route (lucky I can read a map!). Not phone connection, no contacts... oh I could go on and on... AND - braking for no reason (including on the motorway, with kids onboard). Windows opening when the car is out of sight? Air con on full, everytime the car is started... Polestar's response? I've been waiting over 2 weeks for them to reply. Stop building new models, fix the ones we've spent money buying into.

    I had a blank 4G icon for a week. My WiFi did work so hotspot was a temporary solution. Last Monday (Dec 28) I called my Polestar tech on Volvo and he asked me to come in and do an update. It took approx 20 minutes and my connectivity problems where gone. Not sure but the update could have had a fix for this so it may be recommended to contact your repair shop and get this.

    A great car to drive, but the flaws are there. In my opinion the quality of support is most important in this case. I hope Polestar will fix this asap. -
    The reset of the system is not really a fix, but a work-a-round. A car like this that has OTA really needs a reliable Internet connection. In my case wifi does not show me any connection, not even my Iphone hotspot. I reported the issues and I suggest everybody does...

As I turn it off, it automatically comes on again. Rebooting the system may clear some of the issues, but then introduces other issues. This car is definitely not fit for purpose! An internet based run car that cannot connect to 4g, think about it people............

  • @salsacubamon
    @salsacubamon 3 года назад

    4 G is a Polestar problem in Sweden. But for your hotspot you should also activate your MEDIA in the bleutooth settings, and then your hotspot should work back.
    This solution applies if you only see a gray triangle on the middle screen. If you see 4G with a cross, Bjorn's example is a solution.
    Bjorn's example was not installed by the last November update.

    @andrewgiles4296 3 года назад

    I have had the same mirror problem and also a peridoic problem . The car was booked in to the Volvo Service Centre for this and for other issues. The only issue the garage solved was the radar not reading road signs properly. They did a software update - it is now working correctly. I was told that the mirror problem is a known issue and Polestar are working on it. The other issue is the very poor milage 120-150 maximum - this was prior to the cold weather - Volvo garage said that they relied on Polestar to provide the software and that they had spoken to Polestar who asked me to contact them. The problem is I contacted Polestar in the first place about all these issues and they asked me to book it in to the Volvo service centre. So now in a tennis match. Can't get a proper answer from anyone or solutions !!!
    I too love the car but given the price etc I do not expect this level of support and issues. BTW no issues with connectivity via 4G but the same problem with wifi and also no Manual. Interestingly I looked at the manuals setting and there it said that the Manuel had been updated today (31/12), but still no Manuel on the screen.

      This is a different experience to mine with Polestar support. They didn't ask me to book myself in to a Volvo garage, they did it for me. The garage then got in touch and already had all the information to get me booked in and fixed. Your situation sounds annoying. Mine, whilst annoying was at least sorted out professionally.

  • @bobdebouwer4380
    @bobdebouwer4380 3 года назад

    I have similar issues with 4G-connection since several weeks, reboot of the car system needed (20 sec. hold screen) to get it back working again and the need to reconnect the phone by first deleting the stored blue tooth connection in the settings of the phone. I have stopped trying to connect to home-wifi, it works to connect to the iphone hotspot but that is it. Apparently also the security of the home-wifi needs to be WPA2 or higher with AES encryption (not TKIP), your router needs that option.
    Possibly the 4G issue is linked to connecting and disconnecting multiple times (when stepping out of the car) while waiting or other reasons, which happens a lot in holiday times. The 4G signal is oke but multiple connecting/disconnecting seems a hurdle for the system. Reconnecting automatically can happen again but after a certain time.

  • @bobuk5722
    @bobuk5722 2 года назад

    Hi folks, these problems may have been fixed in later firmware updates. However, they do indicate a distinct lack of adequate pre-release testing for the updates involved. That is worrying. Supposing the steering or braking got messed up?

  • @rikh8796
    @rikh8796 3 года назад

    I read somewhere you can toggle the mirrors by double-tapping the window key? Maybe with automatic mirror tilting disabled.
    So I'm not sure if that works, but if it does it might be a viable workaround. Of course it working automatically would be preferred :)

  • @mrbambix
    @mrbambix 3 года назад

    to be fair also the 4g issue looks like a polestar issues but then again could be signal/hardware/software based. The other thing on the apps like spotify and youtube, the makers of those apps should deliver a working offline mode on their apps. Android in it selves already gives them the low level tooling to acces storage etc. I can understand pointing at polestar really but in reality it is somewhat more diffuse....

    Normally old hotspots that you connected to show up so that you can forget them. If they only show up when you're close to them you would never be able for forget that wifi password of your friend that you could borrow for a few seconds. Maybe you don't want your car to auto connect when you're close to it in the future. So on phones saved wifi networks show as well; so you can choose to forget them.

  • @markthorpe
    @markthorpe 3 года назад

    I have had exactly the same issues with 4g and WiFi since delivery a couple of weeks ago. Took it to Volvo, got the very latest update but it has not resolved the 4g issue. Wifi now scans correctly but doesn't auto-connect when no 4g. Support has been very responsive but if it is a systemic issue they need to get it resolved ASAP. Car runs on internet so should be always available. Frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be a "download playlist" option for spotify on Android auto so you're left without music too. I have reopened a support ticket with them and will let you know.
    It's probably going to be either an intermittent account/profile issue with the 4g provider or it is trying to connect to the wrong network which doesn't have a contract with Polestar.
    All the talk of T-Mobile, my car is actually connected to the O2 network so I registered for Hotspot drive via internet terms and conditions screen. Will see how that goes.

    Just been out to the car and I'm seeing what you are, my 4g has a cross, the user manual is white screen apart from the all categories which seems to work until you drill down to the exact thing and then white screen again. We had a case about a week ago when we left home that 4g wasnt working but after half a mile or so it came on, we put this down to a localised signal failure or an outage by the phone company. We will check this again later when we go out and see if a different location solves the problem.

    • @FootprintPhoto

    Car is for driving, not for just listening to music. I doubt that Polestar does not allow your phone to use bluetooth connection for both music streaming and sync up with Google maps/TomTom app and display it on screen. Curious how BMW never have these kind of issues, but then again, they are not really a ''smart car'' that doesnt work without 4g...

    User manual, do not know if it is available but Volvo have a really nice app for manuals. Are there one for Polestar?

  • @bobdebouwer4380
    @bobdebouwer4380 3 года назад

    Let’s face it, Polestar launched their P2 before the big wave of new EV’s hitting the EU-market; VW ID-x, Skoda Enyaq, Audi Q4 e-tron, Seat El Born/Formentor etc...
    This rush and battle for the fast growing EV-EU-market has some downsides like we are confronted with now. In the end it was basically the only alternative to the Tesla model 3 (beside the more expensive Audi e-tron) at that time. As long as Polestar works and keeps working on fixing the bugs and improving the car by updates it is fine for me. Probably this will go hand in hand with the updates for Volvo P8 both from the same consortium Geely/volvo and a lot of shared hardware. But they should be faster with updates and launching the app as they will loose momentum and loose their customer base based on bad reviews on internet. Of course other new EV’s will have similar startup issues but not known at the time they come to market.

    Personally I love the car but I am getting close to asking Polestar to take it back and deliver a new one when all the bugs have been ironed out. 4g has been offline for days now. WiFi has never worked. Preconditioning only seems to work when car is plugged in. Reversing cameras intermittently do not work at all. Extremely slow charging. GPS signal disappears for hours sometimes. Big shame as Polestar support is very responsive and as I said, for all the faults, it's a cracking car.

    See the answer of the support Polestar toddy:
    Hi Wim,
    Thank you again for your message.
    We regret to hear that you are having problems with your Internet connection. If you have a problem with your 4G, we have steps for you:
    You can reactivate your 4G connection. You must first turn on your WiFi and then you have to connect your Hotspot on your phone or with your WiFi connection. After this you are connected to your Hotspot / WiFi and you have to go to your settings on the center console and then click on "Privacy and data exchange" and then on "Internet Conditions". You will then be taken to the T-Mobile screen and then select your country. Finally, you have to switch off your wifi in your car and you will receive a notification (or back to the “Internet conditions”) from T-mobile on your screen and you must accept it. Now your Internet connection should work and you will appear above a "Signal" symbol.
    If you have problems with your Wifi connection: This will take you to a Polestar Service Point for a TCAM reset. Here they check if there are problems with your software or receiver of your internet.
    If you have any questions, we are of course at your disposal.
    With best regards
    Your Polestar Team
