Kevin Cowans Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hello JasonI tried running the device-log command again, this time without the Logitech Unifying Adapter present and the command worked this time.The results are:C:\Program Files (x86)\Flirc>flirc_util.exe device_log<1>malloc_addblock(49): Heap Block: 0x20001FAC - 0x20002FFF (4k)<3>init_modules(419): Module Load Error: &module = 0x0000EA60<3>log_output_init(42): no log hw found<3>init_modules(419): Module Load Error: &module = 0x0000EAF0Late I know but better late than never :)I will also try the 4.0.15 FW and update you.ThanksKevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give this a shot.nemo.release-4.0.15.binHello JasonSorry about this but since upgrading from 4.0.14 to 4.0.15 I am no longer able to Wake the computer.I downgraded to 4.0.12 and I am able to Wake the computer again.Also, I have ordered a Bluetooth USB Adapter (ASUS BT400) to replace the Logitech Unifying Adapter so I will update you how things go when I receive it, hopefully on Wednesday next week.Thanks in advanceKevin Edited February 19, 2017 by Kevin Cowans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello JasonSorry, I was not clear, since I discovered the issue concerning the Logitech Unifying Adapter I have had it removed from the system.The testing I have done with the 4.0.15 FW has been done without the Unifying Adapter present.Thanks in advanceKevin Edited February 20, 2017 by Kevin Cowans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 This is getting weirder :(. I've upgraded to 4.0.15 and checked on both my computers and it still works properly.Jason has asked this before, but can you test on the same hardware but with a different system? Maybe one of the live usb distros so you don't need to modify your hard drive. I don't know if the sleep will work with live usb though (it should).How long do you have your Win10? Maybe there's some driver conflict caused by something you've installed before. Windows USB drivers can get messy sometimes and potentially non-related things start to misbehave. It's a last resort, but I wonder if system reinstallation (or factory reset in Win10) would help in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you said 12 was is the only one that works.Hello JasonSorry, I got my versions wrong, I was able to Wake the computer for a while using 4.0.14 but when I upgraded to 4.0.15 I had issues again as in it would not Wake the computer at all.When I was using 4.0.12 things would work for a while and then just stop working, much the same as with 4.0.14.This whole thing is getting me confused.One other thing I tried was I unplugged the Flirc and removed all instances of it from Device Manager, Rebooted and plugged the Flirc in again.After doing this I was able to Wake the computer a few times before it failed again.I just do not know what else to check as I have gone over everything I can think of.I think I have decided that once I receive the ASUS BT400 this week I am going to perform a Factory Reset of Windows 10 and see if things improve.Sorry for causing any problems for you.Thanks in advanceKevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 15 I'm also checking for S2 and S3 on top of S1. 14 only checks for S1. Newly round apis in the chip. Im with Yawor. Download ubuntu on a USB stick. Boot it. See if the issue persists.

Hello JasonI agree, it makes no sense.Also, I am using Windows 10 Home on the HTPC when I prefer the Pro Editions as there are no restrictions or missing features.I have been doing some more testing and for some unknown reason I am now able to Wake the computer with 4.0.15.And now it has stopped working again.I really do not understand this.Would you recommend doing a Windows Reset first or trying the Ubunto on a USB Stick?Either way, I am going to wait until I receive the Bluetooth Adapter so that I can use my keyboard again.Really sorry about all this.Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'd honestly run Linux. That'll tell you for certain if its bios or driver caused. I'm sorry as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello JasonRight, Linux it is.I have found the download for the ubunto desktop iso and will be able to create a Bootable USB without issue, however, how do I go about using the Flirc with it?Sorry, but in my 35 years of using computers I have never used linux :(Thanks in advanceKevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yawor Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 @Kevin Cowans as we are only 1 hour apart timezone wise, in case you have some problems running ubuntu let me know using private message here on the forum. I'll try to help you then.As for using keyboard over BT, you'll unfortunately find that you can only use it when the OS is fully booted. You also need to pair the keyboard in the OS. So for booting Linux from USB you need to use Unifying (or some other keyboard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Cowans Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hello JasonSomething new this morning.I used the Keyboard to Wake my computer (Flirc would not Wake it) and after it was on the Remote would not work.After checking in Device Manager the items related to the Flirc under 'Human Interface Devices' all had the error stating that no Drivers were loaded for the Device.This is the first time this error has occurred.I unplugged the Flirc, Deleted all the associated Devices in Device Manager, Rebooted and plugged in the Flirc after which the Flirc worked again, no Wake but the Device was recognised, the Drivers loaded and the Remote worked again.I am still using 4.0.15.Thanks in advanceKevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
