Thanks for the info, but nothing works, at last i delete all my google info and uninstall all google play services and re install back and it works, but the pin in the grab apps is missing when I accepted any jobs, anyway it's better than previously no map at all, hopes this help those who are facing this similar issue in the future, cheers.

Aiya.. Today not fun to drive liao. KL jam as usual, but outside of KL ping very slow.

Pavilion jam like shit as usual. And at KLCC, they decided to close the road to the Coach entrance so I had to ask my passenger to go to the LV entrance. And because that road was closed, the fare calculation also wrong. 2km+ trip become 4km+.

Looks like weekend surge is dead. Whether a lot of drivers out of town or not, the demand just doesn't seem to be there.

And I don't understand how Grab calculates surge. Area where ping is slow, map all white, got surge. But red area in the map no surge or barely any surge.
*
I think there r 2 types of surcharge. First is based on supply and demand, second is prefixed.

The 'high fare' words will be shown only if it is the 1st type of surcharge and above certain surcharge to normal fare ratio.

So the only way to know whether there is a prefixed surcharge is based on experience only.

I been driving for grab for more than a year and lately i got a problem on the driver app.....

My grab driver app problem....

after i open the grab driver app.....

there is login and sign up button..... i press login....

the app takes me to a google page with a message which reads

"500. There is an error!
That all we know at the moment." Please try again later.

when i press done, there is there is "dismiss" or "help"....

i press help, it bring me the grab help page for trouble shooting login for driver page

i have try the following solution but still cannot work.....

1.on and off my phone....and restart the app.... cannot work and same result
2.refresh my app function by pressing the home button twice and clear previous cache....cannot work and same result
3.change my ios play store login email to be the same as my grab driver registered login....cannot work and same result
4.call grab help center.... which happens to be difference customer service officer each time.... and ask me to repeat the above....
5.write in to grab customer service about my problem and their reply was to repeat the above step 1 to 2 and 3....
6. following the above chain of email, i email them back saying i have try the above and as of time of this post.... grab have not reply me yet
7. I have visited them at HQ office at Jaya one aka The school - 2nd floor, their customer service give me a number to wait and when it was my turn, their response was that this is app problem and requested me to go to 5th floor but the 5th floor will be closed on weekends.....

As i cannot login and do have a full time job.... i have not manage to get to their Jaya one office at the 5th floor,,,,,

Anyone in the same situation as me on the above....

For record, my current grab driver status is 4.97 rating and there is money in my grab wallet and credit.... but as i cannot login to my grab driver i cannot do much as the moment....my car is 2017 car .... As far as i am concern there is nothing wrong on my account status for driver....

I suspect its a bug on the app which it will take some time before they manage to clear it...... mean time i did thought of re registering myself as a driver as i do need the income..... no point me waiting for them to fix the problem to gimme back my account

Any sifu here can help? or share and comment on the above.... as without login in i got no income at the moment....

Please help if u know the solution to the above.....

If this problem happened after u updated the crappy driver app, then nothing much u can do because it is definitely a crap problem. They never tested their app before release. That is why i dont recommend drivers update their app immediately upon release.

If this problem happened suddenly even u didnt update the driver app, then it could due to some changes in your phone, for example, some critical aystem apps has been auto updated hence caused a compatibility issues. So u may want to disable the auto update function of your phone.

Let's say If u didnt update the driver app, then u may try to uninstall whatever updates on critical system app or undo whatever u did on the phone system. However these may need some expertises. Of course, the most easiest way is just do a factory reset.

Personally i suggest u to get a cheap phone solely for driving crap. Disable the auto updates feature and dont fix anything if it aint broken.

Its not true that there's nothing much you can do if problem happened after you update Grab app...you CAN downgrade.

https://www.apkmonk.com/app/com.grabtaxi.driver2/#previous

PS: personally my favorite was 5.35.4... but I'm now using 5.37. 5.37 has a regression in the feature compared to 5.35.4....The grab app map wont autozoom after you accept a job.
*
I've got a softban previously because i didnt install it through playstore.

If u install your app direct using an apk file instead of playstore, the installer info will be empty instead of 'com.android.vending' and the crap driver app will send this info to their server. Of course u can do a simple trick to fool the phone system but then it is another story.

For example, credit balance not updated in the home screen. Sometimes I get a lot of B2B until I forget what's my credit balance. Then I'll be waiting around wondering why no ping? Then I refresh my wallet then only I know my balance is less than RM10. And the app.. Sometimes got notification that my balance is less than RM10, sometimes no.
*
The crappy driver app checks your credit balance once every 60min.

Why such a long time? Why they check some other things once every few seconds/minutes but not credit balance? Oh yeah so that they can have an excuse to accuse u for gaming.

Challenging evening...

Ignored 4 big fare and CR 18%.

Feels like Grab is gaming me because I always get incentives more than 20% of fares. Sooo many wanna go to KL and Damansara during peak hour. In the end accepted a job to Bangi. Drive back empty car but not too bad la, fuel consumption was good because smooth highway all the way. But on the way back to civilization, Waze tell me to take Kajang SILK highway pulak. So many uphill parts and passed through 3 tolls. -.-ll But Indon rider was really nice. He gave me few ringgit tips so can almost cover the toll. He told me he go to Bangi to pick up his salary from a previous employer. Fook, roundway trip RM100.. but he still give tips.  rclxms.gif clap for this guy.

Still needed to complete a few more trips to get AR 80% so ended up in KL. My Destination really saved the day here. Got a trip that took me almost all the way home. Then got a miracle trip when I was about 4km from home. Pick up less than 1km, drop-off about 2km, which brought me about 2km from home.

6.5 hours, get about RM167 after commissions. About RM1.1/km after deduct commissions. Petrol about RM24. Incentives 40% plus compared to fares. Not bad I guess? If I got stuck in KL or on the way to Damansara, I don't think can get this much. But CR 18%... If the next few days Grab keep bombing me with high fare.. Then no choice but to brave the KL jam...
Maybe I spoke too soon about app v5.39. No indication at all of Surge in the job card. I checked back the jobs that I cancelled, based on the distance and the fare stated on the job card, I think probably got Surge. But I wasn't notified at all.

Would be great if Grab showed the Surge percentage like Uber. Easier to make decisions about long distance trips. Grab staff... R u reading this?
*
U havent see shit yet if u considered bangi as a place where no birds wanna to lay eggs. biggrin.gif

If u were a flexi and keep track of fare per km or did some hypothetical job study, then u can agak agak know which job is a sweet deal even without indication of high fare. Take my previous job as example, no surcharge or whatsoever indication of sweet deal. However if u do the math, it was about rm1.7/km and i completed it in 1 hour.

Huh? Pin location?

I didn't get any deals as sweet as yours.

If i am not mistaken the new rider app use 'pin location' as a name when the rider set a location where it has no official road name.

I also got incentive in P block yesterday. 19 sen.. laugh.gif
That trip was at what time? Drop-off in 1 hour? So fast.

Pickup around 9am. Just slightly jam when i was near city center.

My highest gross incentive at P block was rm12 at my secret spot. tongue.gif Ping is definitely very slow here but i got no competition. I got a straight 25 ikan bilis pings last week here without a single ignore.

Sure got no surcharge? Check back job History and see.

The math doesn't add up. (45km x 1.4)+2=RM65.

Sometimes got Surge but job card doesn't show anything. Well, not sometimes. Quite often actually.
*
Try rm1.7/km. I kena many cases like this before.

Somehow the fare rate is not capped at rm1.4/km for some unknown reasons.

2-5 hours? shocking.gif is that even feasible?

It is acceptable if it is just 2 hours. U can rest and eat while waiting. However such a short waiting time only happens during high peak hour.

How was today evening guys?

Me get RM97 after commissions for almost 5 hours of driving. Spent 40 minutes to get and complete a RM7 job headed back to my home. But I needed that trip to get ngam ngam 80% AR. Petrol RM15.

Didn't see much red on the map. After 7pm the heat seemed to die down drastically? Only saw green, white, and a bit of yellow. But I heard on the radio that KL jam like shit. So got good Surge or not? I didn't masuk KL.

Seems like demand reduced at the same time Grab cut incentives.. Sigh.. Even got time to go 7e buy bread and go jalan2 at bazaar Ramadan while waiting for ping.
*
I drove from 2pm to 8pm. Gross Rm120 fare + rm80 incentive.

Did anyone coplain about the airport queue system problem lately. For 2 days in a row i kena re-queue after waiting for more than 2 hours. 1st day when queue # reached 401-450 suddenly msg on " 5 min to get back to waiting zone when i have not moved my car parked in Charterfield since arriving. Called CS and typical response "we have forwarded yur problem to the right dept. Not only you but many drivers facing same problem" Damn farking frust and decided not to wait and drove back to city empty car. The CS some more got the cheek to suggest that i go to Putrajaya or cyberjaya to get some business. Today even worse. Fearing for same problem to arise, i was practically staring at the screen for 3 hours and see the queue no. dropping from 1100 to 110. At this juncture i was getting ready to receive ping anytime. Then suddenly the connecting bar at the bottom turns yellow indicating disconnected status. I was like WTF is happening and scrambling to bring it back to connection but failed and instantly the dreaded msg pop up and withing few minutes the requeue no sms came in at 1100 again. How can be so suey happening 2 days in a row as if purposely picking on me. I will not pick up any airport job for a long time to come. Again the same lament, why during Uber time this kind of problem never happen before.

Did u not receive any alert sms every minute saying that u r not wothin the waiting zone?
