Possible bug or board problem and firmware

[Vapors Tongue]

i have two DNA60C Stubby 21's. now the black one is on the latest firmware and i've had to revert the other one to the previous firmware because if i update to the latest firmware it auto locks even if i select it not to auto lock in Escribe. the other device is completely fine on the latest firmware. also both  stubby's don't show the time on the lock screen even when i add it via the theme builder.

Would you send me your .ecig file for that device so I can take a look? Thanks!

Hello , same problem of forced auto locking here on a Sentinel dna60c. Ecig attached.

Thanks for you attention

Hello. Same problem.

Would you be willing to try an experimental firmware? It may have other bugs, but I'd be curious to know whether it fixes this problem for you.

You should be able to apply the attached firmware by downloading it, going to Tools -> Apply Service Pack and clicking File. Then, browse to the file and select it.

(It also fixes a startup glitch where it would fade the screen brightness in before the screen had been painted.)

Thanks!

God bless.

Dear James

Thanks for your effort.

First test on your experimental firmware seems to solve the problem , before autolocked was engaged randomly after 1-10 minutes , now after one hour mod it's still unlocked ->good !

You say "it may have other bugs" , yes you're right now some fields on theme are not visible anymore (example : atomizer temperature on main screen , reverting to last stable fw it's visible again) .-> please check

This after around an hour of testing.

Thanks and Regards !

Thanks @Frank65. I will investigate that on Monday. Despite not showing, is it still temperature-controlling properly for you? (If so, that'd mean it's a bug in the graphics code.) Are you able to see/set your temperature setting correctly in Device Monitor?

Have a good weekend!

God bless.

Hello 

Yes TC is working correctly.

Also Temperature is showed correctly if no condition is used , I've tested this in some themes with same results . Probably the problem would replicate in another fields with complex showing\hiding conditions.

have a nice weekend !

Hello, despite setting my lockout time to 60 minutes, I found the lockouts were occurring too frequently and for too short a time. So I just changed the automatic lockout setting on two identical DNA60C devices, and one of them is still locking unexpectedly. What could be causing this? I've resent the settings several times, but nothing changes. I also sometimes lose profile 8, which I programmed for SS316L. I checked the profiles on the box, and there are only 7 left. 😞 Thank you in advance for your help

[Frank65]

@stephanedegee hello did you try to upload experimental software James posted above ? That solved for me the autolock bug

For the missing profile , check in escribe "Hide this profile" box in unchecked

Regards

Hello, with the experimental version I also have the temperature display problem since I'm working in TC mode. I don't know which version was installed, so I reinstalled version 84 and we'll see, but I'm getting the temperature display again. Regarding the disappearing profile, the box isn't checked, and in fact, the profile appears and then disappears intermittently when I'm using the box, and I have to reset the settings with escribe. Thank you for your feedback.

Best regards.

when i applied this service pack i lost battery percentage off my main screen and the imagine to display used for firing and the time still doesn't show up in my lock screen

To get rid of the automatic locking problem, I had to revert to version SP75.

I've found the bug that causes conditions to be incorrect on that DNA 60 Color test firmware. I've attached a new test version. Give it a try, and see how it works for you! Thanks!

God bless.

i don't think this is normal but after i  loaded the new firmware it fixed the missing battery percentage and my personal fire picture that went missing on the other firmware. but i still don't get the time on the lock-screen. plus everytime i try to upload a theme or reapply the theme it doesn't get halfway until it goes back to the main firring screen , like it doesn't load completely. but it doesn't autollock now

Looks like both theme and autolock are working correctly now . 👍

@Vapors Tongue: The time on the lock screen.... The DNA 60 Color doesn't have a real-time clock, so any clock would definitely have been an estimate from the CPU. I hadn't remembered supporting that, but maybe I did. How accurate did you find the clock to be? What Service Pack did it last work in? Thanks!
