I haven't got any bug reports from users regarding my V3.11 beta releases. I've only had some occasional minor icon layout issues with my five year old Android 2.3 device, but no problems with my newer devices. So I think we can release the current version to the play store. Mark, do you need some more info for this? A summary of changes since the last public release?

Kia Soul EV version 0.1

Hi all, I'm replying to Micheal Balzer's email from yesterday. I wasn't on the mailing list until late yesterday afternoon, hence I'm not able to click reply. I've got a Kia Soul EV 2016 in Canada which doesn't have the UVO services, so this is of great interest to me. I have the OVMS kit in front of me, but I'm a total newbie, so I'm reading through some guides to get started. Just wanted to say that I'll gladly be the guinea pig for this. What I'd REALLY like is to have a way to remotely turn on the climate control system to warm up/cool down the car at will. Hopefully that's a remote possibility. Tracking it is cool, but controlling it is even better. I'm used to a Tesla (my other car), so I am quite spoiled. I did get Micheal's firmware installed on the OVMS and hooked it up to the car but it's not booting properly (based on status LEDs). Can that be because of the firmware or is the bootup sequence separate from the car-control code? The LEDs flash like - 10 Green, 9 Green, 10 Green, 9 Green, then a few reds, then green and red flash together really fast. I tried sending text messages to the board and no dice. Any help would be appreciated, looking forward to getting this working! Robert

Add ChaDeMo and CSS to car_chargemode

Hi guys, I would like to have ChaDeMo and CSS added to car_chargemode, and maybe Type 1 and Type 2 too. Then we can display those names in the apps and maybe even add images for those charge plugs. I would propose this: 0x00 - Standard 0x01 - Storage 0x02 - ??? 0x03 - Range 0x04 - Performance 0x05 - ChaDeMo 0x06 - CSS 0x07 - J1772 Type 1 0x08 - Mennekes Type 2 What to you guys think? Would it be problematic for the server and/or apps if suddenly the Kia Souls stated sending chargemode 0x05? Best regards, Geir
