Hi Everyone. I have had a my Giant for a while but just decided to try and use the RideControl App as I heard there was an upgrade for my bike. Every time I try to set up an account I get Registration Failed. Unknown Error. Ive tried two android phones... both Samsung. Ive tried it on Wifi. Ive tried it via LTE. The App can see the bike just fine... thats not the issue... its creating the account. Anyone have or had this issue before?

The RideControl app is a rubbish. Don't use. Giant promise a brand new app in a few months.
To be honest, Im less interested in the App for ongoing purposes as I am the Bike Software/firmware update. My LBS shut down due to covid (well, sold all the stock and shuttered) and the next closest isnt that close so asking them to do it is a bit of a planning event. Also in need of a rack for the car which I have been putting off 
I use map my ride for most purposes... does what I need. I dont suppose there is an alternate way to get the firmware update like a direct USB connection?

No. Unless you are the LBS.
Why do you want the firmware update? What are the advantages?To be honest, Im less interested in the App for ongoing purposes as I am the Bike Software/firmware update.

Anyone's issue with logons improve? I finally used mine to tweak power levels as I always found that Eco was too strong. I lowered ECO, ECO+ and NORMAL. I left SPORT and TURBO the same, as I only ever use them in more extreme climbs. I may have the names wrong, as I generally just refer to them as 1 to 5 since I have the minimalist controller with the LEDS.

I bought a Rockymounts rack from Amazon. It was less expensive than what my LBS carried and lighter, too, tho strong enough for Giant ebikes.

Oh wow... Okay, I will check mine out in a few days. Got me a case of cellulitis on my foot so cant really walk or go for a ride right now. Talk about painful. So whats the consensus... if there is one... should you update the firmware to the latest or just stick with the stock that came?

Was your new version demanding a firmware update before, and now that's cleared up?
I had the firmware updated at my LBS but the most recent version of the app couldn't see it and would not function.
