It was terrible previously.
It's terrible in a new exciting way now. And it keeps logging out, leaving me high ands dry whilst delivering

Another problem I have is the volume controls being stuck in the screen. Very annoying when you're trying to press something behind it.

Much slower now.
Added politeness that we didn't need on the PDA.
No log off button now so have to use the turn power off option instead.
Have to tap the screen now to start typing surname of the 'recipient' etc.
Still have the 'incident' screen activated tens of times per day if not more. I doubt anyone ever has an incident to report.
No doubt someone got paid a lot of money for this useless software update.
The views I express here are mine alone and do not represent the views of Royal Mail Group.

Keep pressing the return button and at the outdoor/memo etc screen it will ask if you want to log off. Everything else is as you say.

You swipe the screen to the right to get the log off option up.

The screen on mine keeps going fron bright to dull, to bright to dull every few seconds. Not good when driving and can see it out of the corner of my eye. Just hope it's sorted before the dark nights and mornings draw in. Bad enough with the trimble lights and bleeping before this came along.

The new MC variant (they seem to be taking away the none MC stuff for PDAs in MCs) is just as crap. A big thing is that they forgot the need to be able to pair up a finger scanner with the PDA

Put it in sleep mode, then press sleep mode again and scroll down from the top. Your brightness bar might be on low. Move it to the right
