I had a rough start with the LS this morning. I sent project Yuma to support. (SN229)
When I pressed store point and start base using TCP, the starting base progress went to 85% at which point the notification ditty went off to announce that an update was available. It got to the last note of the tune, then got stuck in an infinite loop repeating that last note and became unresponsive. (As an aside, I wish I could turn that notification off. I find it a distraction and I think that the icon on the support button would suffice.)
I held in the button to power it off and restarted it. When it booted, I stopped the base since it had frozen at 85% and then I restarted the base. Couldn't get Fixed, just STN. Didn't troubleshoot why not, just rebooted the LS. Since the Linux update, it seems like a common occurence that I can't get RTK Fixed when I first start the base, but rebooting the LS is a quick and effective solution. When it rebooted and displayed the home screen, it was again unresponsive. No clicks when I tap the touchscreen, no response from hardware buttons. So I held in the button again to reboot. This time when it rebooted, it was responsive, but it was as if I had done a factory reset. Units were metric, white buttons were gone, U buttons were unassigned. I was able to recall General Group Profile and Action Group Profile. I tried all the options for Favorite Tags & Codes (I couldn't remember which one I was using), but none of them had my list of favorite tags & codes.
I called Matthew Sibole. He was a huge help. He connected with RAMS and got me back up and running. He suggested I go ahead and install the updates, so I did. J-Field went from 3.0.0.199 to 3.0.0.203 and GNSS went from 3.7.4.180724 to 3.7.3.180123. We tried to restore to an earlier point. All of the points we tried said there was no data to be restored. We also found that though we recalled the General and Action profiles (The profiles had the same names as before), it did not change the settings. So the profiles needed to be redefined. I'm still working on finding all the settings and putting things back like they were. I still need to rebuild my favorite codes list. UHF works, but I still can't get TCP to work.
Not sure what happened. I'm grateful for Matthew Sibole and for RAMS. Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.
