SteveM6 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Not as simple as that Colin. All those details are available on the manage device screen once it has been linked. But when you do the initial scan to link the device it will show a button for either linking or resetting with the device name (eg HM7000_abcd).What I am attempting to get across is that if you substitute the HM7000_ bit and replace it with a4c13800 you will get the reset code - in this example it would be a4c13800abcdAs to why Hornby send an automated email, it’s probably just a courtesy thing confirming a successful link and to provide the code to those that can’t find it in the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedalus Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Bluetooth LE does not pair it bonds. I have tried bonding with a HM7000 decoder and it refuses. It obviously will only bond with the App.I wonder how long this post will survive the childish moderators deletion of posts that disagree with their clique?Mod note - your posts remain whilst they add value to the discussion. Once they denigrate to snide comment as above then in future they will be deleted in toto. If you have a problem with moderation the escalation procedure has been explained before and is shown in the rules. No more warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM6 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 The point is that TXS decoders should only be searched for by the app so that they may be linked. The semantics of whether they link, pair, bond or mate for life is not really relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Thank you Daedalus for your support, I remember it was you that pointed me in the right direction. I thought the same but I honestly am getting fed up arguing. I am tending to now take the view that I know how fix most things and if you don't want my advice then so be it. Yesterday I was trying to delete devices that I no longer use, I imagine if you find the right combination in the menus then you can do it, but buttons that indicate delete don't seem to work. The App works well enough for what I want to do so I suppose that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Colin the decoder deletion procedure has to be done one by one, but involves unassigning the decoder from a loco, before it can be deleted. Think of this as removing the decoder from the loco before reusing it elsewhere. The same happens if you want to delete a loco, you have to 'remove' its decoder first. Tiresome maybe but not often anyone would want to purge their total stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Thanks 96RAF for the advice, I eventually figured that out and did manage to delete one of them. The "Unlink and Delete Device" is the one that never seemed to work always coming up with an error. Unfortunately the easiest solution is delete the whole App and reload it, that way you delete everything. For people like me that only use the App to load profiles, having a screen full of obsolete devices just causes confusion, but then perhaps that is just me.

Jilly43 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hi PhilWhen the decoder shows up as resettable,Remove Loco from track.Close HM7000 app.Restart app.Replace Loco on track.Scan.Then your decoder should be ready to Link, this has worked for me both times it has happened to me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem statement, as per this thread, i.e., a new chip reporting as resettable, was exactly what I had when setting up my second chip. Force quit fixed it for me.

Some of mine did and some didn't, I think the last one I bought was about the July timeframe and yes that came up as resettable because at the time I had lost the reset code. Did a bluetooth scan and got the magic number, entered it and all was well. I remember thinking "if I can do that" why can't the app, but perhaps not lets go there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andacami Posted yesterday at 11:45 Share Posted yesterday at 11:45 Well, now that the decoder is linkable I did that and tried to add a Class 40 sound - the only available was TTS not TXS - it failed suggesting the downloaded file was corrupted by the device. So, knowing that I'd have to start again, I deleted cache and data and forced quit and now both my new decoders are reporting as resettable! App uninstalled, I'll have to start again. Absolute rubbish so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomasz-1303413 Posted yesterday at 11:55 Share Posted yesterday at 11:55 Once the decoder is linked to the app you can install profiles as many times as necessary, no need to delete data. Doing so is what put the decoders in the resettable state again. rtfm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep understood, but if you read my post, the Class 40 profile failed and you'd need to delete the data to get rid of the corrupt file (as I can't see a way in the app to do it). Also "rtfm" is a bit rude don't you think...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew Man Posted yesterday at 12:12 Share Posted yesterday at 12:12 The TTS 'profile' is not a sound file, it is just a function map TTS sound files are not compatible with TXS decoders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomasz-1303413 Posted yesterday at 12:14 Share Posted yesterday at 12:14 Honestly, I never understood why the TTS files are even showing up in the app profiles for HM7000 decoders. They should be filtered out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even believe it let you load it. I hate to say it but this system is meant for the non computer skilled person. The system should not let you do those sort of things. It is not as if you can flash a TTS module, only Hornby can do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andacami Posted yesterday at 12:14 Share Posted yesterday at 12:14 So, Class 40 will wait. Now to redo the Class 31, which was working until it went resettable earlier in the process. Onwards and upwards but must say it's not been a pleasant user experience and I "do tech". 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted yesterday at 12:15 Share Posted yesterday at 12:15 If a profile load is corrupted for any reason you can simply overwrite it, if it persistently fails, use a different profile, 08 being the favourite as it is small and loads up quickly, then try the desired profile again. This is the recommend troubleshooting advice in the ‘famous manual’ 😁👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
