    First thing I notice is your roomba nick name is funny. You must be a world of tanks player :D.
    Btw not a bad demonstration from the new update.

    Quick question, which region did you choose in order to get smart mapping on the roomba i3 or i4? Thank you

      US is the region I chose, pretty sure.

      So the mapping doesn’t show up on my i4+ evo. Strange

    Hi. Excellent video. I'm from Portugal (Europe). Can you tell me what the version of the apk?

      Hi Gilberto, thanks. My version number is: 6.4.0-release. I got the iRobot app from Google Play store.

      Thanks. Is the same version I have, but the smart maps function isn't enable in my country. I read on Irobot site, they will release that feature (and others) in Europe only in July 2022.

    Some of your bugs may actually be dirty sensors that need wiping.

    • @AlexNie04
      @AlexNie04  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My Roomba stopped working with a red circle. Which I don't think is the dirt sensor problem, the dirt sensor should be a Blue circle. Also I have had multiple crashes of the robot with a message "reboot required".

      @@blaynebeats7237 not really, it hasn't been happening really at all since I got the clean base. Overall the robot is still improving, they have released many new software releases that fixed a lot of the issues that it used to experience. However it still uses ground tracking based navigation, thus it is only reliable to a certain degree. I would recommend you get something with a vision based navigation system.

    How did you get the firmware update? My i4 is stuck on 1.2.24 and says no update is available

    • @AlexNie04
      @AlexNie04  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I am not sure how the firmware arrived, one day in March, the Roomba just started to behave differently than before. The software updates are supposed to be all automatic, so this firmware should install automatically when it arrives in your region. My region is US, so that might have caused the update to arrive early.

      I was frustrated by this too but yesterday (5/2/22) it auto-updated and the map pin drop icon just appeared. ???

    • @AlexNie04
      @AlexNie04  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's nice, if you get that map icon, it means that your Roomba can use smart map feature.

    Be honest: is this an insane pain in the ass? It looks like beta software. Isn’t it infuriating to watch/use? I have wanted a robot vacuum for years but the tech seems so immature.

    • @AlexNie04
      @AlexNie04  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It isn't beta software anymore, iRobot has officially used this feature as their advertisement.
