Weather app
Is it working for anyone?
For the last 2 days mine says 'No Internet Connection' even although the car appears to be successfully tethered to the phone over wifi and I have a strong 4G signal. |

In the car and cannot get any of the apps.
Just get a Red Cross on top of the app symbol. I will try again in 20 miles from my current location. tem.

Thanks. I suspect there's ongoing problems with Volvo's servers.
I noticed mine not working after I'd connected the car to my home wifi so I thought that was the problem but having changed the connection back to my phone it's still not working. Nor are any of the other apps as far as I can tell. |

Just checked again and it looks like the whole apps system is down.

1. Weather App - forever trying to connect 2. Spotify - forever trying to connect 3. Yelp - worked 4. Local search (here) worked At first, before I'd got some results from the search apps, I was starting to wonder if Volvo are routing all traffic from the car's internet connection via a proxy, which was maybe down and hence causing all failures. Maybe its just my Spotify and there is no link to the failing weather app. Is anyone else able to test Spotify? :wq

Same problem for me on Weather and Spotify, using in car modem, thought it was dodgy signal in rural France, but no joy even in places where it worked OK a few days ago.

Sensus is a lovely interface and a great bit of car tech, but I don't have a lot of faith at the moment in Volvo's technical abilities, we have issues like this that don't seem to get resolved quickly and I've had various Sensus crashes, can't get Spotify to stream reliably on anything but the best of internet connection, issues with the My Volvo website that isn't able to interface particularly well with the car build process, the Volvo On Call app which sometimes can't record consumption for a journey, and the Volvo support forums which are a great idea, but lack the support. Love my car, but let down by dodgy tech. Look around the forums, there are way way more tech than mechanical problems. :wq

Just tried some other apps:
A poor performance really. Maybe it's like France in August whereby the whole of Sweden goes on holiday in July? Maybe they'll get around to looking at my paintwork issue on Monday then. |

Regarding your point about service provider routing, perhaps Volvo is gathering usage data about all the apps and routing it via their servers would be a way of doing this? |
