More DIAD6 and/or ORION threads?

[Brownwind]

We need an "Orion and Diad 6" thread.

Steamer just started one while I was responding to your post. Maybe we can learn a few things from our fellow brothers and sisters

Totally agree. I need all the help I can get. After a few years in the building and now back on road I’m struggling big. Can’t figure out why it keeps crashing. Literally eight times today. I love the new scanner (literally scans everything) but can’t figure out how it jumps all over the place when it rains. You’d think after 33 years I’d have it figured out.

If you're using the cradle in the truck, try to use infonotices folded in half and stuck at the bottom of the cradle to keep the diad from connecting to the cradle. I've been using the 6 since November, average 3 or 4 restarts a day. Our whole hub made the switch this past Monday and finally switched out cradles. First day with it, it crashed twice before 10 am. Haven't used it since, back to average.

I'd enjoy it more if my "day off" did not come with a massive stress unwinding headache. But it's always nice visiting the library's public printer and fax machine. Get to talk to retired drivers here and there that visit on the offchance.

Didn’t know that’s where old ups men hung out

Not trying to derail the topic, but where can I buy socks?

Ebay. $26 for 6 pair. Don't pay more!

Appreciate the help. I’ll give it a try and let you know. Thank you for the quick response.

What shoes and socks go with Diad 6 while waiting for Orion updates?

The crashes make no sense. One day you think you've figured it out the next day the trigger to crash is completely different.

I'm warming up to the new map view especially because it carrots your manifest to whatever you select as opposed to dealing with Orion or a bad dispatch. But it crashes endlessly. 10+ times a day. And you have to perform odd voodoo tricks to keep the map view alive and functioning.

I just keep delivering until it relaunches. Sit down. Take a few sips of coffee and hope none of the houses I just did were code 4s lol.

And don't get me started with the 3 times it's crashed after collecting a signature and then going back explaining to the dude that UPS released new devices that crash constantly and I need your signature again.

I love the new Diad 6. It is very easy to use, fits nicely in my hand, and works seamlessly. I like the way I have to input each stop as a Resi too. I really think Android will lead the market over Apple in just a year or two based on what UPS can do with it. I am trading in my Apple phone next weekend and upgrading to an Android device.

Yeah, those are the ones that drank away all their savings and are now homeless.

I can see the BA's bracing themselves for a slew of dishonesty charges as I read this.
but then again, this device is so poorly designed, that rainwater can butt dial multiple stops all kinds of ways and you would not even notice.

Android phones aren't crashing. Just the DIAD 6. Whomever wrote the software never delivered a package and it shows. They should make his ass jump for a season and then go back to the drawing board.
