The Official BLEvo Thread

Hi
nothing odd in the name, but just changed it to a smaller one just to check.

 

[Neil Reid]

Just done a quick test with strava that Seams ok.

 

[Neil Reid]

Hi Paolo
still nothing has registered on Strava. Any idea???

thanks

 

[Explosivebolts]

Yes -- Strava is experiencing problems today:

Missing uploads and other site issues on August 4th

Hi Paolo
still nothing has registered on Strava. Any idea???

thanks

Strava servers has been down all day today so maybe that’s why it haven’t uploaded.
I had the same issue from Garmin today but it seems to be fixed by now, maybe you need to upload the fit file manually.

I’ve done two commutes today with BLEvo and they’ve both tracked my heart rate from the Apple Watch at 68bpm. I’m pressing start on BLEvo then starting an outdoor ride in the activities app on the watch. Has anyone else successfully fixes this issue? Should I start the Apple Watch activity first?
Cheers

Hi @Hitby, yes, I always start an ‘open’ outdoor cycle on the Apple Watch first and BLEvo works well (with smart HR) for me following that.

Thanks, I’ll switch around and give that a go for my rides tomorrow.

 

[Neil Reid]

Any body still having Strava problems ? Still can’t get up loads to show. Emailed them waiting for a response
Thanks

Well, my watch ran out of battery on the way to work but on the way home, fully charged. Started watch workout first them started BLEvo - it picked up my heart rate, stuck it in my pocket and it tracked at 68bpm for the whole ride again. A bit disappointing. Hopefully I can figure it out.

i have poor experience with blevo as a whole on my iphone, with both apple watch hr monitor or the recommended HRM from Blevo. it's just too unreliable and slow to react even for cross country use.

 

[Stumpy]

My experience with BLEvo smart HR and Apple Watch (4 with cellular paired with a iPhone XS max) is the opposite and all works well 95% (subjective and not empirical) of the time. The other 5% is when BLEvo loses the HR signal from the watch. However, in checking the health app on the iPhone the same data is missing and therefore not it’s a BLEvo issue (IMO).

NB: I’ve not used the latest version of BLEvo but will test when I’m next able to ride.

Out of interest can @Hitby and @Bryan Wells comment on their Apple Watch model and health app data?

 

[Dee Scee]

Hi everyone, has anyone took up on Robs idea of using the Blackview BV6000 for the Blevo app and how have you got along with it.

loving it! won't work with a quad lock mount - use the GLUB or a stretchy silicone one. both have worked fine for me.

 

[Dee Scee]

firmware updates for 2017 levo affecting BLEvo? Do I need to worry about my LBS updating my firmware and disrupting the beautiful relationship I'm having with BLEvo and my bike?

Sorry to bug, @PaoloBLEvo and @Maastricht, but I have to take my 2017 in to the LBS to have them fiddle with my bike. It's not switching levels of assist and the battery lights are not showing the charge level. I used SpecyDefault to re-set before connecting to Mission Control. I'm concerned that a firmware update could mess up BLEvo. I haven't been on the forum lately, so I am not up-to-date on the discussion. I"m currently on 4.0.1 on the motor and 2.17.1 for the battery according to mission control.

 

[Dee Scee]

You have a very old firmware..
If you update it you will be able to change the speed limit..
No problem on old bike model..

wow! looks like I already found the answer. thanks @PaoloBLEvo

 

[Jeff H]

Mission Control has the total odometer reading on the diagnose page but I don't see an equivalent in BLEvo. Am I missing it? Would be nice to see without having to launch MC.

Paolo, if not in BLEvo, is this something you can add to a future release?

If you go in the battery monitor, you can find the total km done..

I have a series 4 non cellular and the heart rate looks to track correctly in the activities app.
On a related note, because I have the activity running on my watch and then Strava also adds the activity to apple health all my totals are doubled. How do you get around that? Just not allow strava to add its activities to the app?

 

[Jeff H]

Paolo, I found the battery monitor but the odometer is in kilometers even though I have it configured for miles. The temperature is fahrenheit which is correct.
BLEvo v3.5.1 on Android

 

[Trout74]

Any new updates on when BLEvo will be able to unlock the 2019 Levos

 

[Hitby]

Any new updates on when BLEvo will be able to unlock the 2019 Levos

As far as I know it’s not possible to do a software unlock any more. You’ll need a hardware device like the velociraptor or the planetary gear thingummy.

You are right.. Until know only hardware or mechanical solutions..

I have just released the new version 3.5.2 of BLEvo for Android ..
Here are the news:

- Optimized Bluetooth connection
- Added description with BLEvo statistics uploading to Strava
- MAPBOX map type added
- Added possibilities to overlay images to the map from the CSV
- Now if the SpeedMultiplier is greater than 1, it displays the maximum speed you get
- Added the choice of color and the size of the arrow on the map
- Added the choice of zoom step on the map
- Bugfix: restore service values when not in Smart Power
- Fixed Label Biker / Battery in the tour map (now it's wh biker / wh tot)
- Now set the GPS speed only if the bike is not connected or is off (not 2019). Avoid the calculation of ascents in the gondola
- Now if the CSV file is small, the graphic in the bike monitor is loaded in high resolution
- Added configuration to remove the initial BLEvo message
- Added information on the KMs made and the status of the battery in the bike monitor
- Updated Andromap style
- Added Strava configuration in the BLEvo configuration menu
- Added Good GPS counter in the CSV
- Now on the increase of manual assistance, the steps are not broken, that is, if it is +5 a multiple of 5 always remains


Update from Google Play and let me know if you have problems.
Good lap with BLEvo ..

What about for iOS?

 

[mclydeg]

I am curious as well. Seems the Android platform is the better one for your app. Really like the app, should I consider getting my second phone as android to take advantage of future updates?

It seems to connect much faster with the bike now. Hopefully the connection is more stable too.
