My battery indicator stopped working on my MX3000. It works up to the point where I put the remote on the charger and then it doesn't show the sixth frame. It keeps showing the fifth frame. I have tried other battery meters and it still always stops at the fifth frame when on the charger. Anybody have any idea what would cause this?

I put this question in the wrong forum but couldn't find a way to delete it.

URC knows about it. I'm sure they will fix it.

Did this happen with the latest software or is there something wrong with my remote?

Nothing wrong with your remote, mine work the same way. It will be fixed in a future software update.

...but only if you bought from an authorized dealer. Live Update has been disabled for those of us who don't know who the dealer was/is.

Point taken.

Don't go down that road in this thread, this isn't the place. If you want to vent more about it, please do it HERE

Daniel has rules in place to keep RC the helpful forum it was designed to be, it was getting far too negative before but is much better now

Wow -- very good to know. I've been fiddling with mine trying to make the last frame show up. I didn't realize it was a known bug. Has this been broken since they first came out? If it has, I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope of them fixing it!

Ahh How do you know they will fix it? It is something in the software because I have a second one and after updating the remote the second one won't work correct either.

Some of us have a little more of a connection with URC. They'll fix it.

Who is going to pay for the return trip to the customers' home to fix the battery indicator on their remote? You make a minor change to a customer's system and download it to their remote and now something is screwed up because of a software "update" and it requires ANOTHER FREE SERVICE CALL to the customers' home once URC fixes this problem with a software "update". Who will pay us for the trip? How long will the customer have to get agrivated about it? How many calls do we have to take from upset customers? How many referrals do we lose? "It worked last week before you came out and added that new thingy for us. Why can't you just program it the way it was before?" Sounds like a reasonable solution to me, except the company that makes this great remote won't let us go back to what worked before the last "update".

As has been requested before, how difficult could it be to make available the past few "updates" so if we find a bug, we can go back to a previous version without the new bug???
How difficult is it to have a section on the dealer website for "Known Bugs" so we don't waste time thinking we have something programmed wrong???
How difficult is it to list what has been fixed in a newly released "update"???
If you are marketing to professional installers, why not try communicating with us!!

How about when you open Complete Control Suite and connect to the internet, a red bug appears on any of the buttons at the top to indicate that there have been bugs reported for that remote's software since the last time you connected to the internet. When you click on the button to start that remote control software you can click on a button to see what the known bugs are and any temporary work around, if available. If that particular bug will affect what you are about to program then you should have the option to roll back to a previous version, BEFORE you begin programming.
Just a few suggestion to make a good company a little better.
Hello?, hello? Can you hear me now? Is any body out there?

I'll get off the soap box now and let someone else have a turn.

Some good thoughts, Dave. I'd like to see the bug list and work arounds, if any, on URC's site, and the ability to revert to older software.

Not too sure when it'll be fixed

Editor crashes when delete a variable in use - Fixed Jan 9th, reported by myself Dec 29
Update - Expand the size of the list box so that longer variable names can be used - Updated Apri 24, reported by myself Jan 2.

Not too bad, considering I am a lowly consumer and not a CI or AD, or perhaps many others had reported the issue months prior. Not sure.
