dBerriff Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Why would it offer v0.7.0 when it is already installed? It is giving the option to downgrade should you wish to do that. I don't see anything wrong. Just select Cancel. Or am I missing something (again)? Edited August 30 by dBerriff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomasz-1303413 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 This screenshot is after it's already setup and working,. Upon initial link it forces a downgrade with no way to cancel and since the initial downgrade fails and there is no way to exit the screen you have to kill the app, rescan, reset (since now it'll show up as resettable) and re-try the linking again. It's too much of a process for me to try to get an screen shot, but I have one more coming next week, when I get it I'll try to take some screenshots at that point.

Tomasz-1303413 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Here's a screenshot from a decoder that has been downgraded before I figured out what was happening. As you can see the loaded version is 0.6.1 and there is still no version 0.7 available to upgrade to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dBerriff Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Thank you. I will check my setup again out of curiosity when I get a chance, not that I am experiencing any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dBerriff Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I find Blink Bonny is on v0.6.1 and as everything is working and always has worked to my satisfaction it is not something I am going to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 BT v0.7.0 is for now on the live app so this problem should be sorted. Those affected please give it another go and report back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM6 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Switched on this morning and the app shows eleven updates available. It has singled out the decoders not yet on v7.0 as you would expect. On the manage devices page you will see this - look for the small clock face logo for those that require updating. Press the update button and confirm which version is required (v7.0). Each one takes just a couple of minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelton Junction Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Does this decoder upgrade to v7 change anything operationally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I love this feature of the system; that we can have instant access to updates from home. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are told this should have happened with the 0.7.0 to 0.6.1 offer but seems not in some cases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge1965 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) So I’m updating the fleet, so far one of the shunters and Flying Scotsman fail the update. Will capture error message. The rest are ok or still to do. Update. Has to Una sign and unlink and delete Mallard. Then linked and it said needs updates. BT worked, then said sound profile was corrupt. Now doing 26 minutes update. Over hard wired connection. Edited September 2 by Dodge1965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomasz-1303413 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Excellent news, I can now see v 0.7 in the app and hopefully the initial links will now work correctly. I have another decoder coming tomorrow so I will be able to confirm then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge1965 Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 So 14 loco's all now done, 10 no issues at all. A class 50 and Mallard and Shunter and Flying Scotsman had to be reset and removed and BT updated and then after corupt sound profiles, i relaoded each profile. All then looked good, but FS then said BT needed another update and after that, the profile yet again. The Swift Dummy car also after upgrade, said it neede an upgrade. So did it again and all good. Weird thing was, when starting HMDCC and going to manage devices, all were red for BT symbol, but after the upgrade and reboot, became blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomasz-1303413 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Just went thru setup of another brand new decoder and this time I didn't run into any issues, there was no forced upgrade and everything worked as it should. Thanks for fixing this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritInVanCA Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 So is it considered “just part of the standard process” to have to start from scratch every few months? Recently the Bluetooth Firmware update broke some HM7000 set ups and the advice from Hornby was to do just that (unlinked, delete, relink, reload). Could the same be true for a device OS update? This stuff seems to be a moving target. We had some stability after the v2 profile updates but things seem to be less stable now. Any thoughts on Bluetooth versions? Should we be using devices that are at least version 5 or is 4 ok? I know some beta testers are going to disagree but I am not an IT novice and I have nothing like these levels of problems with my other device connected applications. I do read manuals and have often directed social media posters to these manuals for advice. Even the experts sometimes admit there is an issue. For example the lack of ability to switch to DCC control due to a CV rewrite done in error. Personally I have more respect for people who admit things are not “perfect” otherwise you start to sound like those infallible politicians and I know you don’t want to be put in that group 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTSR_NSE Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Personally I would never suggest either technology or humans are perfect or infallible, since I know & expect the exact opposite is truth/fact! Equally I have no respect for anyone who claims to be infallible or who expects infallibility. I am pleasantly surprised whenever technology & humans actually work/get things right & am not at all surprised when they don’t. These attitudes are extremely useful when problem solving issues/failures - but unfortunately make it more challenging to empathise with frustrated people! 🤦♂️ (That doesn’t mean I don’t try to be sympathetic - merely that I will always be more accepting/understanding towards problems than most!)

moawkwrd Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) Fundamentally Bluetooth is a dodgy technology that will never be 100% reliable. You get syncing and pairing issues still with all manner of Bluetooth devices (keyboards, mice, headphones, etc) so it’s foolish to expect HM7000 to be any different at the end of the day - although to be fair it has gotten better over time. Still can’t compete with actual wires. Edited September 6 by moawkwrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Yes, those electromagnetic wave thingammies are never to be trusted. If you can’t see it, don’t believe it! Oops, just remembered, the fact I can see is down to particular frequencies of those thingammies, or maybe photons, whatever they are. Might have to rethink this, not today though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
