Thanks for being sure. But what you think doesn't really matter.
Secondly, it isn't a "FW" issue. It is an "app" issue. They wanted to make it charge by "default". Yet they didn't even test it. That's disturbing.
As someone who works as a software tester, it could also be that dev was assigned the task of removing the option to charge, interpreted that directive as to removing the charge facility completely rather than just the UI option. Then QA confirms that the feature was removed as per developer comments and passes the app for deployment.
Been there, done that; communication can be hard.
I'm wondering why folks thought that the control over the charging feature should be removed in the first place -- was it confusing users and generating an inordinate amount of tech support requests or product returns? Was the feature problematic across the range of supported iOS devices?
Anyway, good to know it'll be addressed in a future update. I think I'd like the ability to toggle charging. I've never depleted my remote while out flying with 3 batteries, but often have run out of phone juice. On the other hand, charging generates heat and I've flown in hot weather where extra heat would shut down my device, so a charging toggle would be helpful for me. |
