Sometimes the beep volume gets set back to 3dB

It's not that it doesn't get saved, but it gets reset to 3dB as soon as the menu option displays. Like change it to -3dB or something and exit the menu. It will get saved. but go back to the menu to change something else and as soon as that option is displayed it will reset to default. It's like whatever draws the menu option is fetching the value from the wrong place.

So It's like this executes:

Code: Select all

			case OPTIONS_MENU_BEEP_VOLUME:// Beep volume reduction
				snprintf(buf, bufferLen, "%s:%ddB", currentLanguage->beep_volume, (2 - nonVolatileSettings.beepVolumeDivider) * 3);
				soundBeepVolumeDivider = nonVolatileSettings.beepVolumeDivider;
				break;

And something is up with that soundBeepVolumeDivider = nonVolatileSettings.beepVolumeDivider; like nonVolatileSettings.beepVolumeDivider no longer contains the correct value or something, and soundBeepVolumeDivider gets reset as soon as it displays.

Hmm... I just tinkered with it again and maybe it was only happening because I hadn't turned the power off yet so the settings had not gotten saved yet. perhaps the fix is to change (2 - nonVolatileSettings.beepVolumeDivider) * 3 to (2 - soundBeepVolumeDivider) * 3 and save/update the nonVolatileSettings elsewhere?

Not sure of the right solution since I'm not familiar enough with the code.....

Anyway it's not doing it anymore after I power cycled, though I'd sware I had power cycled it at least once before.

Edit:

Ok maybe I figured out what I was doing wrong. Maybe I hit the red key not the green key and this happened:

Code: Select all

	else if (KEYCHECK_SHORTUP(ev->keys,KEY_RED))
	{
		// Restore original settings.
		memcpy(&nonVolatileSettings, &originalNonVolatileSettings, sizeof(settingsStruct_t));
		setMicGainDMR(nonVolatileSettings.micGainDMR);
		menuSystemPopPreviousMenu();
		return;
	}

So the settings got restored to their previous values, but soundBeepVolumeDivider was left the same. I think maybe the only thing missing is to reset soundBeepVolumeDivider = nonVolatileSettings.beepVolumeDivider after the memcpy()

Daniel, I attached the DMESG files from the Hotspot mode dumping back to regular GD77 mode a couple of posts ago.

I should have some ferrite core filter torriods later in the week and I'll test with those in place.

I'm now testing with the GD77 out of the charger base in case that is what is generating the noise that is interfering with USB. Within an hour, this also has failed. The DMESG file is attached.
