Fix stickiness of custom settings
For some reason the app constantly overrides my custom settings regarding consumption, degradation, and maximum speed. Especially when connected to the OBD dongle. Can it be adjusted so that the app doesn't feel the need to revert back?
There's a reason I need to use custom settings (because the ABRP vehicle database uses incorrect data). To make the app useful, all variables need to be adjusted. But unfortunately the app then thinks it “knows better” and the incorrectly corrects the correct correction of the incorrect data.
Very frustrating!
- Where does this happen?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

Hi
The degradation comes from the OBD so as long as you use it we will take data from there. The consumption and maximum speed should stay as you have set them. I can see that you have changed the consumption and it’s not the default number.

Yes, and using the degradation from the OBD causes issues, because it isn't corrected for the top and bottom reserve of the battery. But also, the battery capacity of my car is listed 27% higher than the actual usable capacity that isn't being accounted for.
I also changed the consumption to the actual consumption rather than the default number, because it has to be corrected for real world consumption rather than an imaginary consumption.
The values I enter manually make the app make accurate estimates. When the app reverts to default values, it will be too optimistic by at least 10%, and with a small battery this is the difference between arriving with a safe margin or with a completely empty battery.
I don't mind that the app uses incorrect values, makes incorrect calculations, and makes incorrect assumptions. I do mind that it treats these as leading after the user as made deliberate adjustment.
I would just like to make the necessary adjustments sticky to make the app usable in my case, without having to changing it back mid-drive. Very frustrating
