Live widget

Open apfritts opened this issue 2 years ago • 5 comments

The live widget is great and provides an easy at a glance status of my charge, especially on iPhone 14 with the always on screen!

2 things:

  • the flashing text is annoying at the bottom (see video)
  • when I woke up this opening, the live widget had stopped updating 😭
    • NOTE: I also installed the Watch for Tesla app via TestFlight on my iPad and enabled cloud processing. This might have messed things up :-/

Troubleshooting steps I took:

  • kill the app - no update to live widget
  • Disable cloud processing and immediately turn it back on - no update to live widget
  • Re-activate my vehicle - no update to live widget
  • Restarted my iPhone - now the widget has disappeared, probably because charging is complete 🤦🏻‍♂️

I could see myself paying $12/year for the live widget feature. If you also include the fact you can do Siri Shortcuts, you could probably fetch double that even though I don’t think those Siri Shortcuts can be behind a paywall.

I agree, I like the Live widget, but the flashing text is annoying.

Also, there should be some setting to enable/disable the live widget if I didn't want to use it

Yeah - the flashing text is super annoying - it's a bug introduced by apple in iOS 16.2+ - nothing I can fix, but might be able to work around.

Settings for live activities are built-in to iOS and you have to confirm to keep first time.

Heh, would you look at that! I even checked this Settings page yesterday, but managed to miss that toggle even while looking straight at it 😆

Thanks! And hopefully you'll be able to fix the blinking as well. Keep up the good work, I love the app
