Issues with Firmware (FW) version 2.0.12 officially released on October 23, 2017 ?
I just heard back from AR and they are not aware of any issues in Firmware (FW) version 2.0.12.
"Sorry for the delay as I was out of the office for a few days. Yes, 2.0.12 is the official release of the firmware and became the official release on October 23rd. There aren't any problems that I'm aware of that would knock you out of the air, as we feel this is a much more stable version of the firmware."
However, it is difficult to understand if issues continue to exist after forum members installed the latest firmware (FW) version 2.0.12 on or after that date or if the issues were encountered in an earlier version of the firmware.
I would like to capture the forum’s collective experience with the Final Version of FW 2.0.12 if you are willing to provide it. I understand that there can be issues not related to a firmware. e.g. Star Link
So I started a Google Doc spreadsheet and updated it with as many of your responses as possible.
I used the thread started by Augustine as a baseline. There were 87 posts in this thread not all of which were problems or issues. Some feedback enthusiastically embraced new functions or features and improved performance.
After I read all 87 responses it was still difficult for me to determine if the forum member was reporting a FW issue that occurred in a previous FW version or after they upgraded to 2.0.12.
If you are willing to review and update this spreadsheet with your real-world feedback, keep a few things in mind:
The Objective of Spreadsheet:
Determine if the issues in the columns of the spreadsheet have been fixed or resolved by the latest Production Release or Version of Firmware 2.0.12 dated October 23, 2017.
I used your individual posts in Augustine’s thread to
initially update your individual records on the spreadsheet with a (Y)es or (N)o based on your forum comments in the 87 posts referenced above. Please correct any mistakes. However, please make sure you enter which FW revision you were using when the issue occurred.
Including your current FW version is important. We don’t want to attribute an issue to the final FW 2.0.12 if, in fact, an issue existed only in a previous FW version. e.g. Beta FW
If I missed your name and if you have upgraded your firmware to revision 2.0.12 and you are experiencing one of the existing issues on the spreadsheet, feel free to add your forum name and add a Y(es) or N(o) under the appropriate issue.
If I missed an issue, please let me know rather than trying to update the spreadsheet. I had trouble locking certain areas of the spreadsheet that would have prevented entering or updating data. If you try to add issues you may cause formatting and readability issues.
The instructions for updating the spreadsheet with your feedback are documented at the top of the spreadsheet.
Guidance:
Please read all notes on the spreadsheet before responding. Especially read the Legend and Instructions at the bottom. Other instructions for completing the spreadsheet are at the top.

You do not need to have a Google account to view this Google Doc spreadsheet.
Be careful to make sure you are in the Menu System structure of the Google spreadsheet when choosing the ‘File’ paths above. It is different from your browser’s menu system near the top of your window.
Concerns:
Will one person's spreadsheet changes overwrite the other?
Answer:
“If they conflict, yes - basically last one in wins as I understand it. Having said that, if you make a change the autosave usually cuts in pretty quickly and saves what you've done, probably before the other person has had time to make any changes - certainly this is the case in a spreadsheet, where in any case (a) you probably aren't in the same cell and (b) there is an indication of where your co-editor is at the same time.” Google response.
If the link to the spreadsheet link below doesn’t work from the forum, cut and paste it into your browser.
Let me know if you have problems viewing. I will figure out a plan B. Thanks for your input and a big thanks to those of you who were on the bleeding edge by upgrading to Beta firmware versions to bring us 2.0.12.
