Mini app update: 2.11.0 - Dec 2022

Sadly even though they've added those features, still no eDrive info (trip data). That's apparently lost to time.

Here's a reminder of what was lost, some may have never seen this.

 

The widget is cool. Next do a watch complication.

I haven’t seen that e-drive info, I would love to have that. The Metromile app will tell me about my trips (map, distance, time), but nothing about energy use.

 

I had to do a home screen clean up, the first one in a while. Every time I add a widget, it moves icons to different pages, and my muscle memory and OCD combine to give me fits lol

 

I believe that’s “Enigmatic Black.” That’s the widget color if you enabled the seasonal theme; the default color is “Island Blue.”

 

Wish I could get my efficiency to 5. Even driving like my dad all I can get is 3.3 or so.

 

I wish they’d pull their fingers out and add a lock screen widget like Tesla had to show battery charge level etc…

 

Battery % is the number I most want to see. The GOM sucks. I know exactly where I am with %, once I've found it. I have my light ring set to display charge but it's crude.
My efficiency is down in the 3s this time of year.
I gained a little once I noticed that my winter tyres had been filled with warm wet air. I've never seen tyres vary so much with temperature. It was raining and 60s when I had them fitted. Now filled with air from a cool factory, so dry-ish.

 

Lol I got mine in August, it was in the 90s. When I popped them on the car a couple of weeks ago they were at 24 psi! FWIW someone in the UK forum reminded me that the 16s should be set to 35/32 instead of the 17s’ 38/35.

 

Inflate tires with nitrogen, at Costco, if that’s an option. Nitrogen retains tire pressure better over time than compressed air.

 

That’s a LOT of Redi-Whip.

 

This was discussed previously, I believe consensus is nitrogen is of dubious value. But hey, if it's free and it's not a bother, no harm.

 

Most dealerships and better service centres have massive dryers on their air systems.

 

What, is nitrous-oxide supposed to be even better than plain-old nitrogen? Won't it make my tires giggle?

 

Interestingly, the widget for charging updates more frequently than the app itself. I went out to run a quick errand and left climatization on while I was away from the car for about 15 minutes, and used a total of 9% including 10 km of driving. I returned home and put away the shopping, and checked the Home Screen: the widget showed 91%, and the time I arrived and shut down. The app was still showing 100%, and the time was stamped when charging finished early last night. The app finally updated almost two hours later.

 

Probably. I'd check my tire pressure (I use plain old air) but it's -40F with windchill right now and the air hurts my face.

 

While iOS 16 has been in beta testing since July, and the MINI app was updated to 2.7.x in August, it still isn't fully compatible with iOS 16 — which was released to the general public a month later. 2.9.x and 2.11.x are still minor releases without iOS 16 additions.

 

When I added the widget, it showed both range and remaining percent charge.

Is the smaller widget not available for Android? This is the only widget I can add:



Battery percentage is the only thing I wanted D:
