flippedcracker Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I have not done extensive testing, but have noticed that my pc will randomly wake up when i have the flirc receiver plugged in. It does not happen when I unplug it. OS: Windows 7 32bit FW: Wake up keys v4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris! Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi flippedcracker, I think the next most helpful thing you could do would be to install the stable firmware onto your flirc device then check if the same behaviour is observed. http://blog.flirc.tv/?page_id=46 Cheers Chris!

flippedcracker Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 will do. I'll give it a couple of days to get a full range of testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippedcracker Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 "updated" to fw 1.0 yesterday afternoon and haven't had a random wake up yet. I have even used the remote (harmony 900) to work other devices. I can check throughout the day, but previously the pc would wake up some time in the night and it hasn't yet.

Chris! Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 So it looks like something in the beta firmware images. I'm sure Jason would appreciate a reply in the thread of the beta firmware you were using - clarifying it was the firmware that caused hypersensitivity. Cheers for experimenting Chris!

jason Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks Chris, yes, please keep me posted. I've actually been looking at this quite a bit to see what the cause is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flippedcracker Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 So, the pc went the whole day without an inadvertent wake up. I'm now going to put the latest wake up firmware on the flirc try to see if I can get it to turn randomly. I'll let you know of my progress.

flippedcracker Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Did a limited amount of testing tonight. Upgraded to fw_wake_v5. Wake key works fine, and every time. Button assigned to the space bar also wakes up computer. There were also instances where the computer would wake up as soon as it would go to sleep. (for example, I press the sleep button - the power button on my pc - and about 5 seconds after everything shuts down, computer starts up again). After I was getting instant wake ups, I turned off all the lights in the room and put it to sleep. As soon as I turn on a light, the pc would start up. Following more testing, I could get it to wake up for pretty much anything. Any button on the remote would work (assigned or not). Small amounts of light didn't, but the screen of my phone did. Unplugging the flirc, and then putting it to sleep, the pc would only wake up with a keyboard press (no random wake ups). Interesting twist, I reset the firmware back to stable 1.0 and could still wake the pc with button presses (light didn't work). Cleared the config, and it stopped working. Assigned buttons, and every button that was assigned would wake the pc.This was still on stock 1.0. I have not tested all this on any other pc, but will try to some time this weekend.

seanchronnery Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am also experiencing this. On the stable firmware 1.0 windows 7 32bit sleeps properly. I can not however wake it with flirc. After upgrading to fw_wake_v5 pc will wake with any button press (non-programmed) and also randomly with no input from remote.

jason Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 This is actually all really good feedback. It will be a matter of hooking up my debugger and trying to figure out why a key is sent when an unknown signal is detected. The hard part....time... = ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanchronnery Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 A bit more information... I decided to move from openELEC to Windows until the vdpau issues are sorted. I have openELEC ION RC1 installed on a USB stick and Windows 7 32bit Eden B3 on internal 2.5" HDD. PC is a Shuttle XS35GT. Booted into openELEC for the first time since I got flirc in the mail... Flirc 1.0 is waking my openELEC no problem, but not Windows 7. When I get a bit more time, tomorrow I bet, I'll try flirc v5 to see if the random wake ups happen in openELEC.

flippedcracker Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Another possibly unrelated thing to note. If I use the power button to suspend my pc (and the power settings tell the pc to suspend, not hibernate or anything else), I can use the flirc to wake it up on stock 1.0 firmware using an assigned button. If I suspend through XBMC (shutdown -> suspend), the flirc won't wake it up at all (using 1.0 fw). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanchronnery Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) In response to my previous post; yup... waking up randomly with openELEC as well as windows 7, v5 firmware. Another possibly unrelated thing to note. If I use the power button to suspend my pc (and the power settings tell the pc to suspend, not hibernate or anything else), I can use the flirc to wake it up on stock 1.0 firmware using an assigned button. If I suspend through XBMC (shutdown -> suspend), the flirc won't wake it up at all (using 1.0 fw). Windows: Same here but only flirc v5 not 1.0. If I use the power button on PC, PC will stay suspended until I wake it with remote. openELEC: power button sleeps machine properly and can wake with remote v5 and 1.0 Thanks for the temporary solution!
