V5 and mi6 issues

[remmy]

I am posting this to see if any other people have this problem. After upgrading to v5 my mi6 would turn on but not detect anything and the deus would not switch to the pinpoint screen or cancel the audio. If i used just the headphone remote it worked fine but as soon as i turn on the remote it does not. I thought it was my pointer at fault but i went back to 4.1 and all is well. I am wondering if othere are having the same issue, like maybe a 5.1 will be coming like 4.1 was to fix other issues.

Had the same issues. Also, when I turn off the Mi6 I have to wait 15 to 20 seconds before the remote will wake up. A definite glitch.

Yes, i have had the delayed wake up problem at times since i got the mi6. I sent it back once and they said it was ok but i still stand around for varying periods of tome waiting for the deus to make a sound. I have had to reboot it a few times to get it to work.

I'm having no problem at all.

I have not updated since v4.1. Do plan on updating but sitting back waiting for a while as I really do not have a need to do the update. When you did the update, did you un-pair the MI-6 BEFORE the update? I hear this is a must although it is not mentioned(at least I can not find it) on the XP Deus site.

I have updated all my stuff to V5.0, I have the old black LF 9" coil and the new lite LF 11" coil. And that was all the V5.0 update was asking for an not the white coils or the pinpointer . And I do have both white HF coils and have the MI6 an WS4s & WS5s the only thing I have notice is that with this new V5.0 update is that both of my old LF 9" & LF 11" Are way more stable now just like my HF White coils now .seems like something is going on under hood to me just my observation '

Thanks Tommy

Yeah, Me too. No need to unpair theMI6. If the software doesn't ask you for it - you don't need to do it.

The first day of running the Deus 5.0 update, 9"HF coil and Mi-6, I had quite a few issues with the changeover from the Mi-6, plus one instance where the coil just sat there locked up with the LED madly flickering away and with no audio. Second outing everything behaved nearly 100%, had maybe two dropouts over a couple of hours.

Makes me think that all these issues are constantly related to the HF coil, and are not soley the fault of the software considering the HF coil is not updated at all when running v5.0. Will run the 11" LF coil next outing to see whether it behaves with the Mi-6 and the new update.

You may be onto something, it may be a good idea to remove the mi6 before update and re-pair after. I had gone back to v4.1 and decided to try removing the mi6 before update. I loaded v5 and then paired the 6 and so far so good. I have not been out hunting yet but 50 on/ off cycles and it has worked every time. I guess time will tell.

I am just going to wait a bit , as the new coils aren’t in my arsenal. I have just read way too many complaints with communication issues between Ml-6 and coil etc. something must be going wrong.

 

[Architex]

Not a thing wrong here. Everything is working great after update. I think a lot of people try to overthink the process.

 

[remmy]

Apparently there ARE mi6 issues with v5, i was asked to pass my symptoms to xp support in France and they said the engineers are working on V5.1 to resolve the issue with the mi6. No word on when. Those of you who have no problem lucked out, those of us who do did not overthink squat.

Strange thing i noticed.
One of my remotes, when aearching for pinointer, pinointer would wound off. Yet it would not work as kf not paired. I removed pinpinter and re paired. Works good.

The other remote, it would aound off when researching coil, and it even worked when used. No removal necessary and re pair.
I loaded V5 oringailly and didn’t do squat as far as pointer removal via menu using remote.

The issue I have had is using the round white coil. There is an inconsistent delay when turning on the mi6 and sometimes a loud pop before it connects.

I just downloaded the V5 software update and as I went through the process there is a drop down on what version I wanted to install and the last option was/is V5.1 so I installed that and yes V5 was above V5.1 so not exactly sure what that means for those who were needing V5.1 ?
anyway just letting everyone know what happened for me...
how does it work haven't had a chance to test will do that tomorrow or the next day but install was successful according to the software.

5.1 is a bug fix for the few that are reporting MI-6 connectivity issues.
Thanks for your patience.
Gary.

 

[smkunder]

Wow that was fast, thanks for the quick update!

 

[Architex]

So there's no other reason to download 5.1 then?

 

[Buggaman7]

I haven't hand any problems with my new V5.0 update , So do I need to Update to new V5.1 ? This Question is for Gary B,

Thanks "TOMMY"
