JP1 Remotes

Personally I've never managed to crack one open without breaking it. I suggest you live with it. The buttons or screen will fail long before the USB port.

Well I was not pulling the USB cover but it broke. I didn't want to do that deliberately but now it happened not intentionally it kind of ...

Graham, how do the other remote settings like language, brightness, timeout, etc., work? Are they stored in user data too?
As you probably know, although I wrote the RMIR support for the XSights, I have never been an actual user of them. So it never occurred to me to look if there are any user ...

They don't show up. What am I doing wrong?
You were posting the web addresses of the pages that contains the images, rather than a link to the image themselves. Plus, your images were WAY too big to be used on a forum because they would make the forum a million times wider than it should be. So, I ...

Your links aren't working for me. But are both remotes touch screens?

For the record, DirecTV setting doesn't use the RF base at all.

Well the images didn't show up at first but they do now.

Ok what is DirecTV RF for then? I thought it had something to do with RF. It also isn't possible to ...

Here are some pictures of my remotes:

The 3 remotes showing the middle part with the coating. The first is my new One for all. The second is the Acoustic research and the thirs my old One For All where I removed the coating.

My US Xsight AR and Nevo touch screen remotes all have the DirecTV and Tilt settings. I've never had any issues with them and RMIR. I've gone through at least 20 in the past decade or so.

Happy to provide more details

ok, so these 2 options are only in the Acoustuic Research and Nevo? Or are ...

If you can get your ARRX in a working mode long enough, could you do the following for me, please? Do a factory reset, load the result into RMIR then select Preserve original data on the Advanced menu. The hex on the Raw Data tab should now be in Blue to show that it is the original data, not ...

Is this an ebay purchase? When these remotes first came out they were expensive and not very popular, so it appears that OFA dumped a ton of them in China, because for a while there, we could get as many as we wanted for just under $20 each, then just as quickly the supply died up. So, I imagine ...

Interesting. I had always thought that the firmware of the ARRX and OfA versions of the XSight Touch were functionally identical even though I was aware that the firmware binaries for the upgrade process were different. I am sure you are not the only user with an ARRX18G XSight Touch. Could any ...

I received the third remote today. I put the settings in and it works fine. No problems with the keys/buttons at all like on my old one. Just like my first remote (this is also a One For All) it doesn't have 2 options in the settings that the Acoustic research has. One has something to do with RF ...

Well problem is still not solved. After the second attempt with the firmware it worked for an hour or so. After that I only get the logo. I don't connect it to the pc with usb because I had the problm last week that the pc didn't recognize the remote anymore. The only thibng I didn't test is do a ...

Graham,
Is there a way for him to force a firmware upgrade using RMIR, even if RMIR thinks he has the most recent version? The best I can think of, regarding his remote issues, is that the firmware has become corrupted.
Yes. Download the remote into RMIR (or open an XSight setup in it). The ...

I really don't know if this is a hardware of software issue. Sunday night it worked for a while and then I went to bed. Yesterday morning it didn't go further than the logo. I tried at least 25 times. This afternoon I put the battery back in and it workd for at least 2 hours. I had to go to the ...

I think you are missing the point that I was agreeing with you, hence why I suggested re-applying the firmware update. "Using JP1" means connecting the remote to your computer using the USB cable and using the RMIR program. "

ok sorry I missunderstood. I thought you wanted me to double check. I ...

What Graham was suggesting was to remove as many variables as possible. In other words, use the old battery with the old charging cradle and the old power supply, then put the old battery in the new remote. Then, if that doesn't make a difference, we've eliminated the battery, the cradle and the ...
