Not liking the Code Editor.  I wonder if they make a plugin for .NET code formatting.

HI Steve,

 

I used to use Chrome and it worked fairly well, until about a month or so ago when there was an update. Now I get "Unfortunately, Chrome has stopped" when ever I try and start it. Even after a factory reset and re-install!

 

I just tried Dolphin (recomended by a friend), that does the same as the default browser - half the page disapears when I try and add text to the reply box.

 

Given the others on this forum who have responded that their browser's are working, I think it must be this tablet that is at fault. I'll have to add "SUMVISION" to the home electronics black list.

 

Thanks everyone - keep unwrapping those presents.

 

Have you tried resetting the tablet back to defaults? What about the latest firmware updates like these:

 

http://www.sum-visio...upportastro.asp

 

I purchased this for £65 last week:

 

http://www.ergoelect...tablet-gbt740rs

 

and it seems OK. I have noticed that it struggles with big websites and can sometimes pause for a few seconds before updating. I plan on using it to control some home automation tasks so it should be sufficient.

 

Good luck!

Thanks, I found that update link earlier today.
I am plucking up the courage to do the firmware re-install.
I have seen that lots of other Sumvision users have slow and buggy experiences also.

I should have waited a bit longer, £65 is a crazy price!

(I have actually found a browser that works - but no formatting icons at top of edit box.)
Edit - I can just about edit a post with a lot of mesing around. Browser is called UC Browser.

On mine there is a button for 'Factory data reset' under Settings|Personal. I've done this already after messing about and it works well. Right back to square one.

After some testing I noticed that changing photo in forum profile is possible by importing a photo from a URL, uploading one ends with "Failed to set a new photo" message. I didn't try the third option "Use Gravatar". Micha?

Html 5 nice, this might be why some users have compatability issues.

 

the W3C validator doesn't really like it, but often the errors are the same in 50 places.

not much to worry about but worth a look.

 

Some of the popups seem a bit unneccessary, but on the whole it looks great.

Been there - done that!

I have even had to do it manually when the tablet refused to turn on at all.

Just starting the firmware upgrade - hopefully this will make a difference.

Thanks again.

 

Edit: That didn't fix it. I have spotted that firefox can be made to work by pressing space before enter to get a newline below the previous one. I can just about use it as long as I don't need to reposition the cursor. Chrome nolonger exists in the market place.

Personally, I love the new software. Seems to work really well for me in all aspects, including on mobile.

When you get round to it, enabling access via Tapatalk would be good.

We will be adding the standard netduino.com header and footer within the next week.  We wanted to make sure that the update went well first.  With the exception of a few browser issues (which should be fixed through browser updates or forums software updates by Invision Power) and one or two permission issues, it seems to be working well so far.  Crossing fingers :)

While this isn't the highest priority for you guys <*cough* go *cough* ethernet *cough* module>, it would be nice to know I'm on a Netduino Forum when I'm on the Netduino Forum.  I'm easily confused, you know.

OK. That was fast!  All fixed!  :) 

 

One tiny problem:  The wiki doesn't seem to know me.  :(

 

  • I'm in the forum, logged in
  • I click on the "Wiki" link
  • The wiki comes up but says "Sign In>>" (Instead of "Dan T")
  • If I *do* sign in from the wiki, it just takes me back to the forum
  • GoTo Step 1.

Hi Dan, Thank you. The Wiki is the last item on our integration list. We'll be re-integrating the login database soon, followed by updating the Wiki's skin. That will complete the database and forums migration. Chris
