When will GO 620 get a software update to stop all the 'no traffic connection' issues?

Its been a year since a software update and there are so many issues with the bluetooth / wifi clash preventing traffic connect... why not an update that tell the device to ingore wifi?

Hi
@BCBuddy
Try logging out of your Wi-Fi....
I find the Wi-Fi devices are more stable and more responsive in general use when you 'Forget' the Wi-Fi connection

(You can't actually logout you can only 'Forget' the connection)
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Wi-Fi
Tap on your Connected Wi-Fi
Tap (Modify) Icon
Tap (Forget) Icon
Tap (^) Icon Screen top right
To verify the Wi-Fi is OFF Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) screen top right Wi-Fi logo with an 'X'


To Reconnect to Wi-Fi.... For Updating etc....
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Settings --> Wi-Fi
Tap on your chosen Wi-Fi
Enter your Wi-Fi Password
Tap Done
Tap Connect

Unless you're using a personal My-Fi Hotspot in the car for your data connection, the only other reason for a live Wi-Fi connection is for updating the device... I turn off (Forget) Wi-Fi by default and only log back in for updates
It's no big deal for updates, you only have to enter your Wi-Fi password....

The suggestions 'kind of work' - connection works when i set it up then wont work when I set off!

I really think the software needs an update to make the the devices know look at bluetooth first and wireless next.

I will keep on playing with it as I get time - over a year of playing around with it and it still not right!

Hi
@BCBuddy
Are you by any chance using the MyDrive App and iPhone running iOS 13 or above ???
Be Aware....
On the Live Devices (Built-in GPRS SIM)....
If you turn Data for Traffic & other services 'ON'....
The Bluetooth/Phone Connection can take priority over the Live GPRS SIM

On My Devices I get....
GO Premium Data Connection GPRS SIM...
I selected....
