Q: Why doesn't the Scooba software update connect to my robot even though I plugged it in?
Update shows available, but never updates - did finish cleaning, returned to base but the app shows canceled and not completed - app always says charging, never charge completed. Battery icon never full. Called Roomba CS, told to keep on the charger for 16 hours. Did that, battery level never fully charged, firmware never updated.
