The Android LinkinEyes App has been updated and I have been getting passable results testing wifi on my Motorola Moto G 2nd gen which previously refused to play.
Basic taking of video and stills and switching modes worked ok but a couple of times changing camera settings caused a glitch. I'm running firmware version 1.7.
Apparently good news for iOS also with the discovery of another Ambarella wireless app called INTOVA Edge X which has been reported to work better than Linkineyes.

SJ5000+ wifi woes continue

SJCAM SJ5000+ Firmware Wishlist
There is no doubt that the SJ5000+ is a work in progress and SJCAM may now be regretting their rush to get to market before the 2014 holiday season as the bad feedback from early adopters must be harming their reputation. Unfortunately much of far eastern culture and business relationships is about saving face and it would be a shame if this got in the way of squaring up to any shortcomings which have come to light.
May I suggest that SJCAM need to first address some existing issues:
1. Crashes and freezes.
2. Power management.
3. WiFi stability. (If this is hardware related then offer a rebate or recall)
4. Waterproof case obstructing corners of still images in 4x3 aspect ratio.
When these problems are solved SJCAM could retrieve some kudos from retrospectively adding some new features to the camera.
1. Control over sharpening. Offer a zero sharpening option especially in stills.
2. Auto Shooting. more interval options to allow production of 4K Super High Definition time lapse, 1/2sec, 1sec, possibly some longer than 60sec.
3. Zoom option which crops video image "on chip". That is uses a reduced area of the image sensor and real pixels rather than cropping the video output and uprezzing which exaggerates noise and sharpening artefacts and smears detail.
Finally a suggestion for a model option, (SJ5050?), with a narrower field of view and less fisheye distortion.
