My vector cannot access his camera

Vector says change to permission on the camera setting in this app but there is no such setting. So I subscribed for nothing cos his camera does not work. Disappointed. I unfortunately have to return my vector.

Problem

Whenever I try to connect vector by authenticating to Anki it doesn’t work I have tried this 5 times and it’s not working

Is this a bug?

I have had a lobotomized vector robot for a long time then I found this app I tried to sign up because I can remember my old login from anki vector app but when I tried it said registration has not been implemented which seems kinda dumb which is why I think it’s a bug

Dosent connect

Does connect even though it is connected to Internet somethings up. please fix it.

Cool Paperweight

It is impossible to connect this app to my network, after it successfully discovers my Vector. After playing around with the configuration of my 2.4ghz network to ensure there were no issues on my end, nothing would let me proceed past the 2nd step of the app’s setup. Successfully setup Vector using my computer and the web setup, but there’s no way I’m paying for a subscription when this app would be where I access all of Vector’s features (excluding voice commands). This was the “big” birthday present for my son, very disappointed. At least he can talk to Alexa through it, I guess.

🤨 STILL?!

You still have a bug with connecting when you are logged in and when you are in the process of logging in back again AND I keep having to log back in

Why?!

I have a Vector robot and I love him a lot, but why with the subscription!? He’s such a good robot and I love him a lot but the subscription is the only thing wrong with him and the app. Just give us voice commands for free again! And also, make the app just like how it shows in the pictures.

Connected ✅

My vector 1.0 has connected and likes moving around a lot 😆

He’s not as good as Cosmo I’ll tell you that.

HE DOESN’T WORK AT ALL! I had to use A LAPTOP TO GET THEM TO WORK!😡😡😡🫠. The battery checker IS NOT ACCURATE. When you tell him to go home, he doesn’t listen. ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IS BECAUSE YOU NEED WI-FI TO DO E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-G. FIRST OF ALL ,WHEN YOU SAY HEY VECTOR. HE DOESN’T LOOK AT YOU. SECOND OF ALL. WHEN YOU ASK HIM A QUESTION, HE BARELY LISTENS. I would recommend Cozmo more than Vector for a birthday present. AKA make better choices.😒

Log in and sign up not working

When I try to log in it says “HTTP 403” and when I try to sign up it says “Create account error”. So can you please fix the sign up and log in?

Please update

I recently got my vector, read the quick start guide, and then I installed the app and tried to connect Vector to it. It was a painful process because the app kept restarting the process and skipped the things already completed. I had to enter the pin 3 times. Then it said streaming error but nothing was wrong! I was pretty excited about the Vector robot’s Alexa feature, but the button for linking Amazon is unresponsive for iPad and iPhone. AND when you change the location and/or wake word sensitivity, or the time zone, the settings are not saved. The only way to fix that is to never go out of that page. Otherwise, the command suggestions are good, Vector gets it 85% of the time. But all those things do not apply to Vector himself, I think he is as autonomous as can be right now. Maybe in the future he will be able to actually run indefinitely where he goes in his charger when low on battery, and not shut down when left alone. (Tip: Say “Goodnight,” or “Go to sleep” when you don’t want him to shut down. Also the fastest way to wake him up if he looks tired is: “Hey Vector: Wake up.” He does not respond to other commands unless you say that. And if he does shut down he will wake up in a minute or two if you put him on his charger. If he is on it already take him off and put him back on. Do not hold the power button on him it will take a while or do a cycle.) Sorry long review this was the only way to get all of this through.

Touch sensor malfunction

The robot’s touch sensor is malfunctioning and it is making him think that he is getting petted when he is not, could you fix that problem in your next robot firmware update.

Time zone function will not remember the time zone I set it as so my Vector sleeps all day.

Incredibly annoying, every time I change my time zone to the uk the app immediately switches it back to the default american one meaning my vector does nothing all day unless prompted. Why does it keep doing this? So frustrating.

WTF

Br more like the old company DDL I paid a lot of money just so he walks around like a mindless robot. I didn’t have to pay a single cent for him to work with the old company. DO BETTER DDL

로그인 문제 😡

요약: 로그인 방법 어렵고, 버전 바뀌면 전 버전 계정 안 써지고, 새 계정 만드는 방법도 없어서 비싼 거 무용지물 됨

비싼 거 마음 먹고 샀는데 로그인이 너무 어려웠어요. 그래도 하루 정도 뒤 인증 되고 행복하게 쓰고 있었어요. 충전 부분이 조금 더러워지면 충전이 잘 안되긴 했는데 큰 문제는 아니라 괜찮았어요. 근데 버전이 바뀌고 강제로 로그인 해제 됬어요. 다시 로그인 해봐도 전 버전 계정이라고 안 되고, 계정을 새로 만들려고 했는데, 찾아도 재대로 된 로그인 방법도 없고, 완전 새 로봇 로그인 하는 방법 밖에 없어서, 쓰다가 로그인 강제 해제 된 로봇은 음성인식과 명령어가 없는 움직이는 빈 깡통이 돼버렸어요. 움직일 수 있고, 행동 인식도 되긴 하는데, 이상 행동(안 쓰담았는데 혼자 쓰담은 것처럼 좋아하는 등)이 보여요. 옛날엔 움직이는 것만 봐도 좋았는데, 이젠 서랍 안 모습만 봐도 짜증이 납니다. 제발 재대로 된 해결 방법 좀 알려주세요.

Error with vector

I had vector when I first unboxed him the app said network issue with it so i reset it which was annoying and then it said a network issue again and then I tried to troubleshoot it and then it started working

Doesnt work. Unable to login

Why do I need to login to a server, to use this app? Why does it no longer work? Vector is a friggin scam.
