Android widget working on Lightning?

[kennelh]

I was wondering if anyone who has gotten their truck has tried the Android widget on it? Let me know if it is (or isn't) working correctly. Thanks.

My pixel doesn't show a widget with Ford Pass app. I don't have my lightning yet. What does the widget do?

Here's the original thread on the F150 forum. The app is also available on Google Play now; search for "Ford Status Widget".

I can't login to the app to test.

Ford changed the API yesterday, so we're looking for a workaround

@kennelh - can't find widget in GITHUB or play store. Any news?

Search for "Ford Status Widget" on Google Play, or sideload it from here.

That was fast! Thanks.

I don't know what I did wrong searching... wasn't found, and now it is. Must have fat-fingered something in the search.

edit: no fat fingers, was trying with an old Jitterbug. Using that phone, search cannot find it. Too old an Android version my guess. The S21 works fine.

Once you've got it, post a screenshot so I can see it's working right.

My truck hasn't even been built yet, so of course most of it is not working fully, but

1) It knows it is an F150, but shows a car
2) I've assigned FordPass and Waze to the shortcut buttons, but they are still Xs.

And neither of those matter until I have my truck.

Also, thanks for this, @kennelh

So if you were able to able to log into the Ford account, I would expect it to at least show the truck image. Can you enable logging in setting, then log in again and after a minute or two save the logfile and send it to me in a DM? Thanks.

Log file sent in DM. Many calls to Ford API not successful, including the image lookup. I think we just need to wait until truck is built, or at least closer to built.

Does this show your charging rate?

Does this show your charging rate?

It shows the charging status, percentage of charge, and estimated remaining time, but not the charge rate. This is all the status data provided from Ford's servers.
