@stinkyface said in Why localization on the App ?: @Sebasp1976 if you are using Android, its a google requirement. You can turn off your location once connected or some people use a fake locstion app to keep them guessing. I hate this issue, but accept its a google thing Umm, no, this isn't a google thing at all. This is a Future Motion requirement. You can still connect to your OW using pOnewheel, Onewave, or OWCE without having location on. This requirement came on at the same time that FM added the "Group Rides" feature. Basically, they want people to be able to communicate with other local OWers (which is totally cool, btw, but only if it is by choice) and need your location to figure out what "local" is. They could have made this optional and disabled the local group ride feature without a recent location, but the chose not to. They could have also only asked you to turn on your location if you opened the "Group Rides" or "Rider Search" sections of the app.

@Alistair You will need the App to turn off Simple Stop.... Using another phone can work like stated by @Swinefeaster .

yeah, i don't think i'd go through ebay first... call the cops first. ebay is awful.

@Jerre I agree. I just contacted Future Motion and they told me my battery is fine with that temp. (liars) I replied on my ticket saying "ok, I'll letcha know if you make me start a fire in my damn house". I'm done with Future Motions garbage customer service and ripping ppl off. I hope they go outta business soon. (or make better business practices).
