How do you update mydevice?
our main digital advisor took off today and didn't tell anyone anything, just that it needed to be done

S.A.M. Isn't showing an update and no task lists can be brought up at this time..

SAM is how you update them, you'll need to check redwire to see the date that the updates will be active for your store.

Sam doesn't actually show updates anymore like the little notification up at the top right.. It should just show that whatever app needs updating should just say 'install' instead of 'installed' I know that when I came in yesterday s good bit had automatically updated themselves. Just had to verify that they did.

While doing TINV in meat, I noticed that if you scan the scale-created UPC, it automatically inputted the weight so all you had to do was hit 'add'. Essentially, you could scan every barcode instead of calculating the weight. I'm wondering if this was an intended feature since the 3-4 items I tried this on all dropped into the smart audit.

Yes that's intended, the smart audit sounds just coincidental. I know meats can often get widely off count.
 
No, I can almost guarantee. I've had them a certain way for months now. No one barely knows how to use them in detail. Just tap the myWork icon and start scanning. I just don't see anyone spending the time doing that besides me but I'm a DA, obviously. Came in today to someone changed the wallpaper to big numbers that corresponded with their assigned number. I could have screamed/cussed--actually I did in my head--I went through and changed it to the black wallpaper since the Target wallpaper is now overridden. QUIT CHANGING THE DAMN WALLPAPER PEOPLE!!!! LEAVE MY IPODS ALONE.... I'm good, I'm cool....

I can't even begin to emphasize how MANY, MANY times this comes up during meetings about this (usually dream of nightmares of hearing this over and over.) There's no fix currently, no current method to push background/wallpaper changes on the client, and Airwatch is eventually going away in the future.

The update was today. Since it required an update, nobody could get to their task list on mywork. Apparently everything needed to be force closed and charging.. the update said 6am but it didn't even finish until 9:30. That was an awesome day of getting absolutely nothing accomolished..

Today I was informed that "they"--not sure who my ETL was referencing to when he said "they"--wanted the wallpaper changed to correspond with their assigned number. Why? I have no idea. Whatever...

I hope this is coming to my store because a lot of people can't seem to figure out a) Putting the ipod back into its numbered charging spot or b) checking the back for its number. Lost count of how many times I go to sign out an ipod and find out somebody else thinks they signed out that number.

The DA, whoever they are, are supposed to come in and do the update so that it is done within an hour. As opposed to what our idiot DA did, who locked them up in the cash office so we couldn't update and use them until 7 when the same individual came in to update them.

We numbered the devices and I look. We have one rack that is flakey if it actually feels like charging that night. So they get shuffled to get charged.

It drives me insane. I usually come in every morning at 6 and put them in order to do a early morning audit to see if any are missing. So it may be good in the long run, but all of ours are numbered. I renumbered them back in January because our idiot install vendor numbered them and we had two 14s and two 15s and two 16s.

Mine has worked like this for quite some time. At least a year with at least one of the frozen turkeys always ending up on the audit list. Makes it easier to get through instead of doing math on box flaps so the person behind you auditing doesn't have to second guess your answer. Although you have to add on the audit.

Seconding this, random weight meats automatically added when you scanned the product. Been that way for a while.
 
Is there a way to return the wallpaper back to the red wallpaper with the Target icons? Team members have changed them to pictures they've taken or some other option. I cannot seem to find that particular wallpaper in the albums or anywhere else.

Find one that has the background, then, if you have email, log into your email from the device. Email yourself the image as an attachment. Log into the other devices, log back into your email, download the image, then apply that image to the background.

That is how we did it to change them from the red with bullseye to the amazing service, superior in-stocks one.
 
No PDAs available yesterday no mydevices Three mydevices on the charges were dead, two were not even in right and not charging. It's like the walkie batteries no one can put them in correctly. Damn how hard is it to take a few seconds to make sure things are charging correctly !!!
 
I hate how alerts--and I use the Reminders app for breaks and lunches--notifications interupt myWork app and the scanner stops working. @OtherGuy @UIguy

Yes and anytime the low battery message comes up, the scanner will stop working. and by the time i get it working again,the message will pop back up! so now the ipods are basically useless when they hit low battery

This. Every time I get a MyDevice with a selfie for the background, it creeps the hell out of me.
 
Has anybody noticed a flashing red light on the top? Usually when the mydevice is charging the light will be green but when I had it off the charger with a full battery the light was blinking red.

That means the sled battery--not the iPod--is dead or close. It needs charging or it will stop scanning period. If you have the latest myWork update, you can now check the battery status of the sled by going under the User icon and scrolling down.
