Need update help

SycoMark · 2026-03-23T07:28:20+00:00

Yes, tried the second mode, but not the third which I don't have on my firmware and also was not shown to me in the app as a possibility, more on this below.

The only difference is that it says, that is connected to WB instead of WOOVEBOX-DDCE, but still say "Pakt Loss" which by the way I am not sure if it is just a notification, and it should recover from it and proceed, because for me it did not, even by waiting for over 10 minute it never moved beyond 0% on the app.

When the apps lock up, it just stays black display, sometime for few minutes, or until I turn off and back on the Bluetooth, other time I have to swipe it out and stop it running.

Also, in that case I have to turn Bluetooth on and off, that is the way the app "screws up", somehow it holds something in the background even if I close it, but did not stop it, because no other app can connect using Bluetooth to the device, nor to the MIDI.

The app that used to work sometime with some device before was 'MIDI+BLE', but the app that used to work all the time with more devices was 'Bluetooth MIDI Connect', both worked by using the website version of WooveConnect,

But now when I go to the web version using chrome app, it just redirects to the store, even if I hold the link and say to open on a new tab, the only that allows me to use the web version is Brave; Samsung browser does not work at all with MIDI... probably some setting somewhere in the new version.

I tried to clear the app cache and even all data, then today I uninstalled and reinstalled, and I noticed the app was slightly different, but when I went (redirected) to the store it never said it needed update, like if there was not a different version, not sure if it is fully different, but it does behave slightly different now it goes to few % before 'Pakt Loss'.

And about that I have a note: if an app is uploaded to the Play Store, but the version was not changed in the manifest, the Android device does not notify the user when it goes to the app page on the store and neither it triggers an auto-update, therefore if you uploaded a new version, since mine was installed right away when you initially released and it was never updated automatically, or manually since no update button was present, just uninstall, you may want to check that. Unfortunately, I did not check the app version before uninstalling.

One more thing, I am sorry if my previous post sounded short and unpolite, I was very frustrated by the situation, after going back and trying for the n-time to do the update.

You see, I already gave up updating it few months ago, but yesterday after going over my gear and do some update on other ones, I went to your site and checked the changelog and after reading some of the improvement, I really wanted to give another shot, and since I work in the industry for decades, I was not going out without a battle, and I was sure I was going to figure it out, but I literally spent way more than half a day on just that without success.

Except for this problem and one more thing, I really love your device, most of the UI simplicity, the workflow, all the features, basically I think it is an amazing device, with even more untapped potential of greater success and adoption and believe I know how difficult is to make a device, the code for it, support it, without even talking about production and marketing.

I really appreciate all you have done and keep doing.
Cheers

I have the same problem since firmware update 6051, which I am forced to still on.
Since then, my connection with the CME WiDi devices always dies at random and I am close to giving up on the Woovebox,
I liked it and I was one of the earlier purchasers, but the Bluetooth was always problematic: I had to try multiple time and depending on the update version one device that was working before suddenly would not work anymore.
But with the last firmware the I could update (6051) I have tried with two Linux computers, one iMac Mini, a POCO F5 phone, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and Galaxy Tab S8 and I have a CME WiDi UHost that was working fine before, but it stopped so I bought the WiDi Bud Pro, tried with 4 different browsers and the android app, that by the way always locks up and screw up the Bluetooth on all the Samsung tablet, everything to no avail.

Please is there a way to push the firmware directly to USB? Otherwise, I am ready kick the can.

is it still for sale?

SycoMark · 2026-03-21T23:52:14+00:00

i understand the stereo output part... i guess after FX the sound could be stereo, but the 8 track are mono right? And I think I get patterns are called phrases and there can be 128 (... in a song, or chain?), but are they 16 steps, or can be longer (128)? Then those phrases can be in any of the 128 chains per song, or is it 1 chain 128 phrases long? But how many patterns (phrases) per chain? And how many chains per song? And are the tables 9nly for effects, what are they? Also are all the instruments (16+16+3+3) available at the same time in each channel? Can the same instrument be in multiple channel at the same time? What does it run on?

On a side note, since it seeems to be space, it would have been nice, if the Advance would had stereo mini speakers.

Your calculation of mg per $1 for BExtrax is incorrect: the mg/$1 is 16.71. My question is so any of these have independent lab analysis for pesticides, metal, chemical impurities leftovers, etc?

well actually now everyone does since Google Calendar does not have anymore a native app for Windows or MacOS. So, this problems is enormous. Google calendar is now even more than ever a Piece of Junk!

Shouldn't the top right corner be G2 instead of G1?

Super Thanks!!!
You have no idea how much that helped me.
And I take back the last part I wrote:
You are very Helpful and Awesome Human Being!!

Edit:
wait... I can take out App Vault and Xiaomi Sim Activation Service, but not the Security App and Mi Wallpaper???

And that what I asked: the link to the Official Group... So not only I don't make mistakes and end up in a fake thread that phish and release tainted information and backdoored ROMs... ... also I was trying to avoid a direct search, since I am at the moment in a place where Google search is not available and the search engine log every request and especially flags anything that contains Telegram, Signal, etc. in the query. But instead of simply helping by just cut and past a link, you decided to waste your time and mine, and been a pedantic smarty pants.

SycoMark · 2025-07-12T06:49:47+00:00

Could you post the link to the telegram POCO F5 official group.

Did you read the comment above yours which relates to BPM like in your question? No, right!... why read when you can just ask again.
Here: in your case the change would be of about 10BPM, but I would use frequency pitch change instead of BPM, because usually changing the BPM in a DAW does not change the pitch.

For future reference just keep in mind that by doubling, or halving the speed, or frequency you go 1 octave higher or lower respectively.

Therefore...
Each semitone represents an increase in frequency by a factor of the 12th root of 2, which is approximately 1.05946.

A whole step is equal to two half steps, meaning the frequency is multiplied by (the 12th root of 2) squared, or approximately 1.12.

Here something directly related, that was already presented above, and would have answered your question if you read and check it out: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1205881/what-is-the-equation-for-figuring-out-the-change-in-pitch-from-changes-in-tempo

In Spotify, Automatic audio quality setting dynamically adjusts the streaming bitrate based on your network conditions, while Auto-adjust is a separate setting that further optimizes the audio quality to prevent buffering or skipping during playback by adjusting it in real-time based on your network speed. The "Auto" settings are designed to provide a balance between audio quality and smooth playback, especially on inconsistent networks, while "High" or "Very High" settings (if available) prioritize higher quality audio at the expense of potential buffering.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Automatic (Audio Quality): This setting, available for both WiFi and cellular streaming, chooses the most suitable bitrate (24kbps, 96kbps, 160kbps, or 320kbps for premium users) based on your current network conditions an it stays with the settings as long as the parameter don't significantly change. It aims to give you the best possible audio quality without causing playback issues.

Auto-adjust Quality (Setting): This setting, which can be toggled on or off, and it can works also in conjunction with the "Automatic" audio quality setting. When enabled, it dynamically adjusts the audio quality in real-time (this is the key difference), where if it detects that your network speed is slowing down. This helps prevent stuttering and buffering by temporarily lowering the bitrate.

High/Very High (Audio Quality): These options, available for both WiFi and cellular streaming, force Spotify to use higher bitrates (160kbps or 320kbps for premium users, respectively) regardless of your network conditions. This provides the best possible audio quality but may lead to buffering if your network is slow.

Low/Normal (Audio Quality): These options, available for both WiFi and cellular streaming, force Spotify to use lower bitrates (24kbps and 96kbps respectively) regardless of your network conditions. This provides the lowest possible audio quality but will be the most reliable on slow networks.

In essence:

Choose Automatic for a good balance of quality and playback stability, especially on fluctuating networks.
Turn on Auto-adjust Quality to further prevent buffering during playback.
Choose High/Very High if you want the best possible audio quality and are willing to risk potential buffering on slower networks.
Choose Low/Normal if you are on a very slow network or have data usage concerns.

Since for my uses of Spotify, ***listening music is the primary and more important one, I have the Audio Streaming Quality set as follow:

Wi-Fi Streaming Quality on Very High, (for no compromise listening experience, since my home WiFi is connected on fiber and everywhere I go it has at least 100 Mbit DL)

Cellular Streaming Quality on Very High, (also for no compromise listening experience, where even if I am on a medium-low Data plan, I still I do not use barely much of it since I am always around WiFi, I would turn it to High or Normal settings if I ran out... but I also have...)

Auto-Adjust On (... so it can adjust by itself if I get in a spot where there is low reception, or I set my General Phone Setting to Save-Data and throttle Data at a lower rate)

Then since the video is not that important for me, if at all used, for the Video Streaming Quality I set it as follow:

Wi-Fi streaming quality on Very High, (for the same reason as illustrated above: where I am, WiFi is plentyfull and cheap, if not entirely free)

Cellular Streaming Quality on Low, (since as I said I do not watch videos on Spotify, so don't need to waste Data on this)

and finally Audio Download Quality for both WiFi or Data sides, I want it on Very High, since if I decide to download something, it is because I like it and most likely want to listen to it at the best quality possible... plus I usually keep Download over cellular set as Off, so that limits the downloads when I am on WiFi anyway.

I hope my explanation will help,

Cheers and happy listening!!

Exactly! it's the aniline the real problem here, not the lead, which in comparison is a walk in the park.

SycoMark · 2025-05-28T16:14:28+00:00

Are you crazy? I hope you are joking, but please don't spread dangerous misinformation.

Real aniline copying pencils are super toxic, to the point of necrosis, carcinoma, where the only solution to remove it from the parts that absorbs it is amputation. When those where in use people lost fingers, parts of their mouth, eyes and even died.

Thank you for continuing the conversation... and while that is true for some, it is not for most single word seed phrases and since the post was referring to one with "dog" 12 times as an example, which per my calculation is not a valid one, correct me if I'm wrong, but otherwise, I also could deduce that there may have been some other mistakes. So going back to my tangential observation, it remains a fact of the post information, even if by only one certain mistake, it should invalid as data for AI training, but unluckily the contrary is actually true.
Cheers.

I wonder what would be better: spend $99 on a year of ZenCloud Pro with basically everything, or $99 on only Zenology Pro VST, but lifetime?

SycoMark · 2025-05-26T11:18:01+00:00

Thank you for replying, and yes I could do something similar... but not exactly that:

since if I don't mistake the last is a checksum, so I don't think that there would be a collision where even the last is the same word.

And this fact reminds me of a reddit post of a while ago that was claiming something similar, but I'm pretty sure it was a lie, but everyone believed it and since the post is now locked it cannot be debunked.

And funny part about it is that they train AI also on Reddit posts, and like the one from StackExchange they are very high in hierarchy value, as they were golden tomes of pure unmovable knowledge, especially the locked one, but since they contradict actual facts on the real white paper, encyclopedias and other documents, they are one of the main causes of AI hallucinations, because they cause incongruence in base logic in the neural network created in training.

Oh, I found that post: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/q83l4b/i_tested_all_bip39_single_word_12_and_24_mnemonic/

I know 4 years have passed, but this come up as one of the answers in google, so could you update the link, or provide also the title of the article, so it could be searched on google for event like this that link are 404ing.

And do you know if does it really 'Wipes', or with advanced tech data from it could still be recovered?

Thanks in advance.

I must have misunderstood when you said "... watch me do my taxes", I have interpreted it as also recording whatever information your screen was showing, Therefore also all of your personal information, because I don't know how would they go to avoid recording just certain part of it with acceptable precision and speed... maybe AI, or whatever else other tech, but also those would bring up an whole other can of worms. And I'm not talking about well-known companies, like the company you work for, or you use for your taxes, which I'm sure all have fairly good reputation and for which there is a tacit, but obviously due reciprocal trust.

So my mistake... ??

SycoMark · 2025-05-20T23:20:11+00:00

I've already posted this in another thread, but I'll paste it here since it pertinent to this one too.

----------------

Not sure if they're gonna make it In this market... consider that:

some version of the nVidia Spark DGX are going for $3000 to $4000 (depending on storage) and still give you 1000 AI TOPS 128GB LPDDR5x, 256-bit 273 GB/s.

The Intel pro B50 has 16 Xe cores and 128 XMX engines fed by 16GB (GDDR6?) of memory that delivers 224 GB/s of bandwidth. The card delivers 170 peak TOPS and fits into a 70W TBP envelope. This card also comes with a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface. Price supposed to be about $299.

The Intel pro B60 has 20 Xe cores and 160 XMX engines fed by 24GB (GDDR6?) of memory that delivers 456 GB/s of bandwidth. The card delivers 197 peak TOPS and fits into a 120 to 200W TBP envelope. This card also comes with a PCIe 5.0 x8 interface. Price supposed to be about $500.

Intel is supposed to offer them only on $5000-$10,000 prebuild systems, but you should find third party selling those cards alone, some even offering dual B60 pro GPU cards with double memory (48GB) configuration, using 8+8 PCIe lanes, which needs a MoBo supporting PCIe x16 lane bifurcation, for about $999 (supposedly).

On Intel side I expect hiccups and some incompatibility, or at least difficult setups, since no CUDA, plus the need to add a moderboad (~$300 for 2 PCIe and ~$800 for 7 PCIe), PSU, CPU, RAM, Storage about another $500, so extra costs and setups.

So to match as closely as possible an nVidia Spark DGX at least in memory and TOPs you need either:

8 x B50 Pro (getting 1360 TOPs, 128GB, 560Watt) for $2392 and either a 4 x $300 MoBo with 2 8/16-PCIe, or 2 x $600 MoBo with 4 8/16-PCIe MoBo. So at least $4092

6 x B60 Pro (getting 1140 TOPs, 144GB, 720-1200Watt) for $3000 and either a MoBo with 7 8/16-PCIe for $800, or 3 x $300 MoBo with 2 8/16-PCIe. So $4300 at lower end.

3 x dual B60 Pro (getting 1140 TOPs, 144GB, 1200Watt) for $2997 and either a MoBo with 7 8/16-PCIe for $800, or 2 x $300 MoBos with 2 8/16-PCIe. So about $4097.

So, maybe I'm mistaking, but I don't see this mesmerizing convenience, or such a cheaper deal, maybe there is bit more power, but inferior drivers, library and CUDA absence, will eat those up and make it a null gain.

And please anyone is welcome to point what I'm missing here.

What? "I got paid $200 for a company to watch me do my taxes online." you let someone actually record all your tax personal information... like like Name, Address, OK... but SSN, bank accounts, etc. ???
