Diad 6= heavy overtime

[Steamer]

Just view every crash as a new paid break. Or we could sort the car down while it reboots. LOL

We got diad and belt clips similar to diad 5. I went back to using the old 5 belt clip because it doesn't get caught on my seatbelt like the new one does. It works fine with the new diad 6 clip if anyone is having a similar issue.

My main question about the VI is:

Are the long processing times and repeated necessary restarts/delivery app relaunches that we are currently dealing with a result of the software not being properly optimized yet, or are they due to UPS deciding to go with cheap, outdated hardware.

This is the same software as the PVD phones so it's been in use for a minute now... Has IE still not had time to optimize the software?

@TearsInRain maybe you know? Any other UPS tech people lurking on here?

Guess I'll bother saying that I don't really care about the fact that it slows me down. I get done when I get done and collect my paycheck. Just wondering if UPS really decided to use hardware that isn't capable of properly running the required software to save a few bucks on the cost of the devices.

See the thing everyone gets wrong is.IE does not do the programming. There are smarter individuals for that, but the problem is IE gives advice on the things needed to be done.

Yes....our world class IT dept. Working from home with a laptop eating Cheetos in their pajamas. What would we do without them?

Any pics of the new clips? Just curious

Just another piece of technology we rushed thru and will not admit it sucks... ORION, ROaDS and the list goes on...

When the hell did you start writing fedex software? no wonder why it sucks.

Well week 1 the diad was usable. They ran an update over the weekend and now I'm restarting it 15-20 times today. The touchscreen stops responding, other buttons stop working, and all smart pickups are grayed out and you can't even open them to do a stop. I recorded pickup pieces under walkup pickup. After restarts it works better for a few stops then goes back to the same problems.
I'm understanding the misery others have shared... its not improving or even staying the same, its getting worse.
Someone said it was problematic today due to the inclement weather... affecting the 5g service. Wouldn't that be great on the bad weather days... we get to fight with the diad too.

 

[Commercial Inside Release]

5G... Oh yeah. What are we supposed to do? Leave their precious new DIAD in the grass outside the airport?

Cool, what about the connecter to the diad? Does it get in the way of the cradle? I heard they stopped making the old clips because of the cradles.

I always preferred those. I was never a big pouch fan

has no way to look at package details... business names or apartment numbers

Yesterday I had an on call i wasn't even aware i had.
This update you speak could be the explanation. I just so happen to filter to pickups and there it was.
The smart pickups are untouchable until an hour they're due. Then they disappear without notice.
The diad kept giving me late notifications for air after they were delivered, all day long.

Its a different setup... no pins in the cradle. Its induction or magnetic or something and the clip on the diad doesn't interfere with anything as the bottom of the cradle is open. The cradle setup actually is an improvement. Navigation viewing may not be but I don't even pay attention to that so to me that doesn't matter.

The smart pickups are untouchable until an hour they're due.

I had 4 or 5 smartpickups from the next route only I'm in that area late morning or midday. They were scheduled for late afternoon when I'm farther out in the country where I have my own pickups to make. When I saw that I couldn't even open them to record pickup pcs I just skipped them and was going to drive back late afternoon and try again. Magically they all (despite different pickup times) disappeared all at once like 2 stops before I was going to break off.
