EOS + RFR = :-(

This morning I tried to turn on my RFR but it would not turn on properly no matter how many times I turned it off and then back on.  It happened so many times that I was able to get out my phone and take pictures of the different screens I was getting.  These 4 pictures were taken of 4 attempts in succession.  Finally I gave up and went to the console.

  • I get insanely garbled screens sometimes when turning it on - usually when the battery is low, but sometimes even after charging overnight, it takes between 4 and 10 powercycles to get the RFR to come back to life.  There are some definite graphical errors - sometimes the battery continues to 'charge' for hours after unplugging it from the USB cable.  I think a good rule of thumb is don't let the battery run all the way down.  It makes it very unhappy.

     When the software for the RFR is updated, how will we update it?  Plug it into the console directly?  Any idea on when the RFR will be updated?  I'd give my left eye for Address access in Live.  No one seems to understand how often we bring up Addresses and not just Channels.
