No change in battery drain issues at all... (whether running or not running FordPass)

Spoke TOO SOON!!!
On 12/3/20, Version 3.13.1 arrived (or that's when I noticed it) on Google PlayStore (Android) - as I had been having pretty good luck, I let it update! What could go wrong with such a minor (.0 to .1) update, right? Remote Start now tells me "You have tried too many times to start your vehicle - please start with key and drive vehicle to clear error" I did that after going out in the 27 degree weather and starting with the key to let it warm up. Drove to the coffee shop with the wife, had a coffee and a cinnamon stick and tried again! Opened the door, closed the door, locked it... let it sit for a few minutes... tried the remote - you guessed it! Tried to un-install/reinstall app - still same thing. Finally went back to my backup (thank God I still have it stored in a safe place) of Ver 3.10.0 and I'm back up and running fine again! #NoMoreUpdates4Me - Thank God this App Team isn't building our trucks!!!

No, 3.10.0 has been very stable for me and even I got that crazy Dialogue Box last night saying they were having issues with remote lock, unlock, start/stop, etc., but mine still started behind the dialogue box! ??? I was even able to extend the time 10 minutes (because it was in the 20's here) and again, got the box! ???

If someone shares the app with you let me know. I'm also trying to get an older version to install on my iPhone until they get it fixed. Thank you.

I noticed this morning that the size of the update in the Google PlayStore changed from 52 MB to 21 MB, so I assumed another version had uploaded. I opened it and it still said 3.13.1??? Don't know about these folks... that's how I usually know there's been a change in Version - when the size changes - almost got me this time!!! Glad I opened and checked it before downloading it...

Just wanted to share with the group.
I have my FordPass linked to Alexa and although the app itself may not display the lock, unlock and start buttons I can still use these commands through Alexa and it still works.
I tested it yesterday and I was able to successfully start/stop, lock & unlock the truck through voice commands.
