Thanks William, I see 5 now.

Most helpful thing people on this list can do to help out this week is deploy this firmware to their car and help test it for stability. I am most interested in:

If the car is in an area of poor / no cellular coverage, then drives out to an area of good coverage, does OVMS connection re-establish? In particular, if you previously saw a situation where you had to unplug-then-plugin the module to hard-reset it, does that still happen? If realise that this will take longer to know, as it was very rare.

If you interrupt charges in various ways, do you get SMS/PUSH notifications if the charge stopping?

If charges complete normally, in various ways, do you get false SMS/PUSH notifications?

Any weird numbers, or other problems, with Motor Temperature - particularly in very hot or very cold areas?

Any weird numbers, or other problems, with ideal/estimated ranges - particularly when the battery is very full, very empty or when changing between standard and range modes?

Thanks, Mark.

We really don't want people to be flashing the wrong firmware to the wrong modules. In particular, for V2 devices, they will accept V1 firmware but a few things won't work properly (like the GSM/GPRS switch). I've been trying to work out how to pickup the processor ID so I can check at startup and refuse to run if the wrong firmware is flashed, but still not solved.
