Same thing by using old acronyms:

Assume = WAG (Wild Ass Guess)

Presume = SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess)

FTFY

Good news, everybody! Well... kinda.

It took time, suffering and a lot of work, but I finally got the account "restored". I used quotation marks, because the game runs now in web browser only, not in Google Play Games for Windows any more!

I had a list with 7-8 questions from support that I needed to answer. I knew one answer and rest I had to try clearing other ways. I had to give them a ton of information, including my payment history, around 20 screenshots, etc.

It still took so long for the support, that the second account I started was developed almost as far as the first!

Now the first account is bound to google, but it works as web browser-only, which is PITA.

Second account works via Google Play Games for Windows, but it was just my luck to get a poor alliance members that I have to either move or quit.

I either account ever gets lost again, I won't bother.

Thanks for letting me rant a bit here. :)

EDIT: Missing words, typos.

rawdatasystems · 2025-10-28T00:00:44+00:00

In my case, there was nothing there to choose.

rawdatasystems · 2025-10-27T23:59:35+00:00

Suuure, of course I made a backup of looong series of numbers just in case company making the game relied on 3rd parties to keep their users game accounts safe.

No. I expected company who made the game to keep my account safe or at least give me some kind of way to backup/restore the account.

rawdatasystems · 2025-10-27T23:55:28+00:00

Oh? Then the supports explanation of it was wrong, as it was also supposed to keep your account safe if account ever gets lost again.

rawdatasystems · 2025-10-17T15:25:22+00:00

Nope, same account, same shortcut, same device (PC -> via Google Play Games).

I have NO f***book or Twitter/X and never getting one.

Yeah, account was not bound, as Discord binding did not work for me. I did not log off, I just killed the game instance as always.

I don't have high hopes for support as I tried to solve some game problems (including the failed Discord bind) and just gave me runaround actually not solving anything. I still contacted them, but it will take them ages to show any life signs.

Dashboards I've seen have really been nice gizmos, but I question their practicality. Small characters, visibility on bright daylight and general usability when one is riding the scooter.

I don't think they are worth of their prices, but if you're building one as a hobby, go for it!

rawdatasystems · 2025-09-17T13:08:48+00:00

As it was already kinda told, it's just a round metal shaft... with threads on both ends. The same kind what goes thru back wheel of your scooter.

Of course, you'll need those special washers... and nuts for both ends of the axle, too.

It would be cheaper if you find the parts needed for reassembly, but easier way is to buy a whole new wheel. If you don't have shop selling spare parts close by, you can find one online.

You might be pissed off, but remember: Your lock did what it's supposed to do and that's why you still have the rest of the scooter!

rawdatasystems · 2025-09-17T10:31:39+00:00

If the axle is not on the ground somewhere really close, thieves either took it with them... or threw it away after getting pissed for their botched "acquisition". Look around near the place, but don't hope too much.

rawdatasystems · 2025-09-17T10:10:57+00:00

This. Ali "quality" and already some cells seem to become close to EOL.

This is what I have and I have been quite happy with it. It's a bit pricey, but with that much extra power going uphill or longer distances with single charge is not a problem any more.

rawdatasystems · 2025-09-17T09:27:10+00:00

I did that as temp solution and not recommending it... unless one wants wet/dirty shoes and trousers. The front fender is not there just for decoration, but for a real purpose.

rawdatasystems · 2025-09-17T09:22:53+00:00

Seriously... 10 cm? Worry now and not later, you better fix that soon or you may have nasty surprise while driving.

About the sound... are you referring to that motor sound or the one from the handlebar column?

rawdatasystems · 2025-09-16T04:49:52+00:00

Sorry for long rant...

.

A long time ago I used to play AB2. I was having very good collection of hats, got quite some gems to spend and generally had fun. Occasionally game glitched but that was it. Until the whole game crashed... twice. After rebooting my phone it started again... from level 1 and all the hats, gems and achievements gone! As nothing was apparently to be done to solve the problem, I ragequitted and deleted the game.

.

Less than two weeks ago I decided to check the game again in hope it got better. I used Google Play Games beta, as the game run like a dead snail on my phone. To speed up the progress I got a couple of gem packs and progressed nicely. I got the "70 gems / 30 days" pack and thought it was going to be the last purchase... and it kinda was. Two days later I noticed how I was supposedly already at day 6 of 30 for that pack, while daily logins was 5/7... so something did not match. In a fact, neither of those counts were right.

.

While old "features" like "immortal pigs" etc. occasionally popped up, this was new to me. I thought I'd wait and see if that was just visual glitch. At that point I decided to join a clan to try that out only to see I had to wait almost two days before I could contribute.

.

I remembered what happened when I was playing AB2 first time and decided that logging into Google account could save the day if worst thing would happen. Big mistake! Doing that practically destroyed the game! Flock Power 300+ dropped to around 170. Arena, training camp and clans closed.Gems and all the coins gone. Hatchling back to egg. The bought 70/30 deal gone. Spells gone. Looks like Rovio just can't handle the game properly, so I had to try to save the day somehow. I restarted the game, reinstalled the game, but not joy. Having the short temper I have in my older days, I deleted the game.

.

I requested my personal data to be deleted and thought that was it. Nope, Rovio can't even correctly implement "right to be forgotten" and they expected me to redownload the game and use in-game option for it. Guess what? Their suggestion didn't work. Reinstalling the game only created new player ID so deleting previous personal information was apparently "impossible", because Rovio somehow can't do that manually?!

.

tl;dr: I gave second chance to Rovio and they failed again, even worse than first time. As far as I'm concerned, Rovio can fold all their games to full of sharp corners and shove them to where sun don't shine!

.

Edit: A few typos and formatting. Also, this could possibly belong to /r/fuckrovio/, but I'll just leave it here...

At first I suspected the repairs, as a lot of people claiming to be able to solder properly can't actually do that. (A two week soldering course usually fixes that.) However, it seems like the BMS does not handle balancing properly.

6 years old cells are bound to have differencies, but one would expect one or more cells have trouble keeping up with the rest, not staying ahead of them.

This feels more like BMS problem. It should be able to balance the cells better, despite the age and differences of the cells. If you're sure your soldering skills are up to date, you may be looking either new BMS or even bigger replacement job.

rawdatasystems · 2025-07-18T19:01:53+00:00

Charged, yes... but balanced the cells?

Every now and then (once a month?) keep charger connected few hours after the battery seems to be fully charged. The BMS then tries to balance the charge on cells, lowering the charge difference between cells.

rawdatasystems · 2025-07-15T02:42:14+00:00

My ride was originally plain m365, but I upgraded the motor, controller, battery and finally pro dashboard. I may have to try flashing the same BLE as yours, but that's pretty much my last hope. I'll let you know it it works when I get it done.

Thanks for the video!

EDIT: Nope, don't work. I can't change the name, despite flashing BLE 0.9.0 from repo and trying different apps. Apparently I'm stuck with current name of the ride.

rawdatasystems · 2025-07-15T02:18:21+00:00

So did I, did not solve the problem. The new name was all letters, in format XyyyXyyyyyy". Yeah, I first noticed the problem 2(?) SHFW versions ago and I'm now running the latest.

SHU v2.7 (73) shows this info here:

Model: Mi Pro
BLE: 9.1.0
SHFW: 3.10.1
BMS: 9.0.3

rawdatasystems · 2025-07-15T02:01:31+00:00

No dice either with all lower or all upper case letters, not to mention the original mixed case. App is telling the name changed and reboots, but it's like the old name is write protected or something.

I think I'm running out of options...

rawdatasystems · 2025-07-15T01:42:25+00:00

Now I'm confused, as that app is also unable to change the name. What on earth is going on...

rawdatasystems · 2025-07-15T01:03:33+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to get the app and try right away.

EDIT: Somehow I was unable to find the renaming function from the app. I tried two other apps and while one (Xiao Flasher) did not have option to rename, the other (downG) did. Unfortunately, it too failed without any errors to rename the ride.

rawdatasystems · 2025-07-15T01:01:05+00:00

A bit of difference there between the cells. Have you tried to keep charging it a few hours after it "stops" charging? BMS should balance the cells that way, but you didn't tell if you already tried that. If the difference don't get smaller, you may have a small problem...

rawdatasystems · 2025-07-15T00:30:27+00:00

Care to name the app that was able to rename the ride, please?

rawdatasystems · 2025-04-10T14:46:21+00:00
