Onix screen freezing!

First time on the water with 3.00 upgrade in my Onix. the screen locked up twice. once while in Auto Chart Live, trying to get a split screen. and then later when creating a new view with 2d and di. I have checked power connections and battery. it did not do this before the upgrade. I unplugged the unit ,waited 20 seconds then repowered, and the last time did a reset. worked fine the rest of the day. Never lost depth even at 1.7 feet. Auto Chart Live is awesome by the way!
Happy fishing guys

HB would never admit it but I think all the new added features are really taxing the processor ...
-----

1 iota of major importance (with ONIX especially) = make sure to have clean dedicated 12v power from battery to ONIX - tying into the boat wiring is never a sure source of sufficient amperage ...

Rickie

thanks for the tip. I hope I have that taken care of but I did recheck. I would hope that with the widespread use of co-processors and specialized chips sets that reduce the need for processor fetch and process functions would help the ONIX have a little extra processor power to spare. From my problem, makes me wonder if the interrupt or call for the View function is not totally debugged. May be timing or just a small coding error or could be processor overload at that moment. Also the graphical interface adds
complexity to the entire process. when it works it is great.
I really think the 2d looks better. the si and di looked the same. 2d was running the full range chirp. Even tho I know there is no way to brighten the screen enough using software upgrades one can wish!
Greg

There's no way I can quantity the processor demand on different applications the ONIX is running ...

But my eye sees a small boost in performance from using a Chart Select map of my lake instead of the LakeMaster regional card ...

It's a given that the Chart Select map has less overall data to process (only 1 lake data per SD Card) ... But I don't have verified documentation that states LakeMaster regional cards slow down the performance ...

It just "seems" like my Chart Select map card helps (both my ONIX and my 1197) ...

Rickie

U make a good point that seems logical. I am creating some auto chart maps and will have several unmapped lakes on the card. I will try to notice any slowdown as data is added. I appreciate the insight.
Thanks as always
Greg

My Onix 10 hasn't froze yet.I've been using 2d,si,di and 360.I've got several hours on it now ,using the 3.00 update

Glad to hear ur having no Onix issues. How about the Rhodan? Mine is acting up. It has intdemittent failure to lock on GPS and won't turn in manual but will change speeds. Checked the battery and all conections. It had some issues last year but has gotten worse. Happy fishing.

Sorry to hear that.have you called the rhodan people yet?mine is still working great.

I have had mine,go stupid if I spot locked,then try ed to move it 5 ft. before it had a chance to settle down.

Kosmo,
I am trying to find the serial number before I call. I hate to admit it . Seems so simple . Still looking. About to call them anyway. Mine is somewhat intermittently intermittent. Can't trust it. Glad ur is fine.
Greg

This is from today...https://youtu.be/4s1tgsHqEL0...did you find the serial number

I did find it. Thanks for checking. I just received a new GPS antenna. Will install it tomorrow.
Thanks
Greg

I like your fishing partner kosmo ...

Rickie

I will install the new update that supersedes 3.0 and recheck my onix. It was even worse saturday. It settle down after a couple of hours somewhat.rechecked battery and connections. And to Kosmo, I installed the replacement GPS antenna on the Rhodan and for now it's ok. But it was intermittently intermittent.

Happy fishing

Are you using any of the noise filter settings?what was the split screen/auto charts

I was using no noise filtering not sure about the split screen /auto question.

Just upgrades to 3.030. Screek froze in simulator while adjusting sensitivity. May be time for a trip to Humminbird. My patience is being sorely tried!

I'm not even very happy with with 3.000 ...

I may reset my ONIX to 2.000 and call it good (if the hard reset will let me) ...

Rickie

i have been trying to get my onix to lock up.i,ve got navionic map card in.i've run the 360 ,di and si all the same time.seams to w.ork ok..... some pictures from today...http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psdcv4d1jg.jpg....http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psflxdusvg.jpg...http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps5srtqkts.jpg

What is the number of the color in the si shot please. I notice some interested coloration I was not aware was available. My unit locked up today as I was trying to adjust sensativity on 2d. Then reset itself and went back to 2d instead of normal startup. It will be on its way to H tomorrow. Thanks for the shots and the info!!!!!!!!
Greg

Thanks for showing how it should look.
Greg

There have been some intermittent and networking problems with the latest Onix release that is caused by the waypoints from the previous release. If you update the Onix and get issues, back up the waypoint and then delete them from the unit and see if that corrects the issues.
The waypoints can then be restored to the unit.

I will check for old waypoints. I think I wiped them off my machine. It froze again yesterday. Thanks as always for the information.
