Android widget

I've noticed something unusual...

My widget has been failing to update automatically for some time now. I can go into settings and log into FordPass which immediately triggers a widget update, but subsequent updates never come until I perform another manual login. Is this behavior a result of the API changes or is something else going on with my set up?

Do you have battery optimization turned off?

Do you have battery optimization turned off?

I believe I did have battery optimization on so have since turned it off. I'm still monitoring but so far I think the widget is self-updating. Will keep an eye on it for the next few days.

I had my 12v battery go bad and noticed the widget showed the LVB Status in red. After the battery was replaced, the status was still red until I reset the SOC in forscan. So does the widget get the actual SOC of the battery, or is it just a flag that says the battery is good or bad? The reason I ask is because it might be handy to be able to choose to see the SOC percentage instead of/in addition to the voltage of the LVB if that was possible. Just a thought.

The battery info is pretty sparse; for example:

    "battery": {
      "batteryHealth": {
        "value": "STATUS_GOOD",
        "timestamp": "12-20-2022 11:22:44"
      },
      "batteryStatusActual": {
        "value": 15,
        "status": "CURRENT",
        "timestamp": "12-29-2022 22:06:07"
      }
    },

The SOC (color and notification) are based on the batteryHealth value, and the display on the batteryStatusActual value. If the SOC is anything other than "STATUS_GOOD" it shows red.

Ah, no problem, thanks for the info.

No word on Ford opening up yet?
Thank you for your work Sir.

Uploaded version 2023.01.27 to GitHub and Play Store. A bug fix for one important null pointer exception.

Uploaded version 2023.02.28 to GitHub and Play Store. It's mainly a few bug fixes and other internal changes. And in case anyone here is impacted, it now recognizes Rangers and Mavericks.

Thanks for your work...

Uploaded version 2023.04.05 to GitHub and Play Store. The main addition is for Lightning owners: charging information is displayed similar to the change in FordPass 4.25.0. Note that this info doesn't update instantaneously; new info will only show when the car pushes an update to the servers.

I've only tested with with Level 2 charging but believe it will work with DCFC. If you find otherwise, let me know.

Is Ford still shutting down people using this app?

I've had my account locked twice, but I was also using Recurrent so there's no way to know if that or the app caused the problem. I will say that I've not seen anyone who has downloaded it through the Google Playstore complain their account was later blocked. I'm recommending setting up a separate e-mail account through FordPass for the app to use.
