tony@CIC Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 My wife's Link cr***ped out the other day. Won't turn on even after a full charge. Anyone else having issues because of the new firmware response.

tony@CIC Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Here's the ARRCOS response. FYI, I went through number 1 & 2, - still doesn't work. I don't think I should have to wait for the newest update in the "near future". I'm very disappointed with the product and response. "Apologies for the current issue you are experiencing and this is something we have seen from multiple users after the recent firmware update. The steps below should work to get it functioning again if performed correctly and if they do not we will have a new firmware update coming in the near future that should get it up and running properly again. First, could you please try using a different charger or outlet to confirm that is not the issue? Second, we have seen a few Links get into a funky state where they are actually on and charging, but no LED appears, you can't turn it off, and you can't connect to the app. In these instances, we have had the user keep the Link OFF the charger for ~24 hours. This will cause the battery to drain completely. Once you plug it in, it goes through a reset and starts charging again, and is back to normal."

HardcoreLooper Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I've held off writing anything because I'm frankly so surprised at the poor performance that I'm thinking that either I have a bad unit, or it just doesn't work well with my phone (Motorola G7).

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I bought the Link so I could stop carrying around an iPhone just for Arccos - the GPS in my otherwise fairly solidly performing G7 isn't very precise. I'll try the Link with an iPhone, but if that's the solution, I don't know that I'll keep it.

tony@CIC Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just heard back from ARRCOS, they are setting up a return for our Link. FYI, my wife was using it with a 2020 iPhone SE running the latest version of IOS. The problem wasn't the phone but rather the latest ARRCOS firmware version caused the Link to die. Hope she has better luck with the next one since she's very data driven - checking the club stats after every round.

sirchunksalot Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I'm just having a problem the last two rounds with Arccos picking up at all. I checked my sensors and they're working perfectly, but I haven't been able to get anything to register at all. I'm going to have to look into it to see if I might have something in my settings wrong. tony@CIC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife used her phone today to record her shots since I've already sent the Link back (wasn't working anyway). the phone ended up recording all but one hole - fyi she doesn't have anything covering her phone.

HardcoreLooper Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I played yesterday wearing a light pullover over my Link. It probably missed about four shots. Also, the app didn't advance holes, so I had to delete a bunch of shots from the wrong hole and recreate a few holes. It might have been worse if I hadn't checked my phone and forced it to advance. So it still isn't a no-touch solution yet. tony@CIC 1 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaffleHouseTour Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 That’s how I wear my Link (clipped to the pocket) and it stays intact. Keeps it just below the level of my rain jacket or pull over so the microphone is never obstructed. Worked great last season, and the clip is tight enough it’s never come loose.

driveandputtmachine Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I got my link late in the golf season and had been playing with long pants and pullovers. Since I knew the link used a "microphone" I had it clipped on my right pocket. Even in the few warm rounds I have played I got used to it being on that pocket and have continued with it. In high wind this past weekend I had a few erroneous shots show up and luckily since I check after every hole I was able to clean it up. It might have fixed itself, but I didn't wait around to see if it did. All in all the link has been great. Yes mine is running connecting to an iPhone.
