merle.. mine did the same...took out the battery and tried again...takes much longer to "boot" up... it also eats memory too, i didnt get a full race with it on...i have since disabled the protune and works fine.
Hi Brian.. Well the problem I’m having is that the camera won’t even turn on . Nor will the computer recognize the camera. The camera worked great never had a problem with it until I did the last firmware update.
If you did the firmware update you may notice to new files on your card. One is the LRV file. from what I can find out the LRV file is unrelated to the Protune mode. From my understanding of it the LRV file is a lower resolution version of the video recording used for preview purposes on the phone and tablet GoPro applications (less data to transfer wirelessly to the device running the application also the THM file which is a JPG information file.. That might be the reason your card fills up faster.
Well i guess that is ok if you want to buy more cards just to be able to take more video. I for one have no use for the extra files and i would like to downgrade my firmware if i ever get my camera working again.
I did try out the Gopro App and if you ask me i say it's a joke. especially when it causes more trouble then it's worth.
