Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

My 2nd STB of Samsung 2110C has twice this week failed to come out of standby mode forcing a reboot.

Is this a common problem?

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Ive never seen that personally

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

I couldn't wake it up using the remote or by pressing the buttons on the box, only pulling out the power and rebooting worked?

The little green light blinked on the box so the remote was talking to it but it just didn't want to wake up, I must have got a very lazy and sleepy box :shrug:

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Maybe it got an update overnight and needed rebooting...? I don't know... my box has been fine. :)

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Does this happen in the morning :) I have seen this twice with the 2110 .Do you put it into standby at night and have you tried not putting it into standby at night and do you still have to reboot in the morning :)

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

I always put it in standby at night via remote and then turn it on next day via remote, is this not recommended? I've never left it on overnight unlike the V+ I have.

I've just had a PM from someone offering to diagnose it remotely next time it stays in standby, I'd like to keep putting it in standby until it fails to wake up then I can get it diagnosed remotely and see what the outcome is.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Seen that a few times - been out to a sub who's 2110 is jammed in standby. A power cycle usually clears it - though doesn't stop it reoccuring.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Done it again! Just about to watch the cricket and it won't wake up.

PM'd the nice chap who offered to troubleshoot it for me and he's looking into it, so waiting for his diagnosis, meanwhile the box has to stay in standby while he does this.

*EDIT* Just had a PM, box was stuck in standby and was brought out remotely, but still had to reboot as no sound and remote would not respond. Told not to put it in standy until the new update has been applied, bug database was updated with this fault.

@Nedkelly: Will see what happens tomorow when the box is left on whether it's still working.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Mine does this two, second time this week i have come downstairs of a morning, and had to do a reboot to get it to turn on. Damn you samsung box!!!

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

My update, Nottingham, is scheduled for first week in May so have to wait till then to see if the update has fixed it, not sure when your update is steve?

According to the PM I got my version should change from 3_5L_01_P08N_S_S2110 to 3_5L_01_P11N_S_S2110 after the update.

We shall wait and see.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Do you mean update as in the new EPG? i already have this and have had for some time as i forced an update on my sammy box.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Is your box version P11N though? Not sure what the new EPG is supposed to do really, I have the black VM EPG so not sure if I've got the new EPG and box update is something different or the same as the EPG.

@Nedkelly: Seems after leaving the box on overnight I had to reboot it as the EPG had loads of 'No Programme Information' displayed for a lot of programs and I couldn't access the 'Change Display & Audio Settings' from the settings option?

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Mine would lock up in Standby or even if I left it on 24-7.

Mine got the update this morning to P11N and 11.1.8.2.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

how do you find out what version it is??

going to have a look now!

software version 3_5L_01_PO8N_S_S2110

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Going off what you saying... It looks as if i have a smiler problem, as yours apart from when i reboot mine, i will have a red light randomly flashing for about 2 mins before it's fully booted up, i have got someone out from VM to come and have a look at it.

I just hope i don' get it switched for a pace as i've had a few problems with these sort of boxes.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Guess what?

It's gone in to F**K it mode again and won't wake up!! Had the update a few weeks ago and all was well, now it's just decided to play silly buggers again!

Remote won't wake it up nor the button on the box, only a reboot will fix it. Thought we'd sorted this problem :(

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Mine does it every four or five days, I just pull the power and reset it like that.

I just thought it was a standard 'feature'

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

I bet no other kit you have that's got a standby feature fails to 'wake up' though :rolleyes:

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

MMMmmm - well my old dvd player used to do it as well. ;)

It's just that I kind of expect this kind of oddity from my virgin box :)

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

I don't know what the update did, but it didn't fix the lock ups.

I haven't come across a digi box yet that hasn't locked up, though my Sky Grundig box didn't seem to.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

got a samsung box about 3 weeks ago and I have this problem every time I turn the thing off, press on and nowt happens, no buttons make a difference only thing that does is to unplug it, hope that won't cause more problems in the future

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

I had this problem the day after the new EPG update!!! But that was only a one off.

Damn that Samsung to hell!

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

I have seen different options to this 1 the box locks up in the morning 2 when the box locks up it has 2110 on the front 3 the green light is on but no channels :)

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Mine just did nothing, the power light stayed red and never went green when using the remote or when pressing the button.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Does anyone know if there is yet any planned fix for the standby/lockup fuction on the samsung 2110c.

I've since had another box since my last post here, the box will reboot fine but being stuck in standby almost twice a week first thing in the morning and constantly having to keep rebooting doesent help.


Cheers

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Mines done it about 3 times since the upgrade, but I hardly watch my box so it sits in standby for days.

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

I've lost count the number of times i've had to re-set mine, (at least am not the only one)

I have found that it does play up more the next day if i've used Interactive or Video On Demand features from the day before.

Another thing i've noticed just reasently is now and again the box epg guide also seems to lose the track of time, used to do this on my old pace, re-booting it of course clears it :rolleyes:

Re: Sammy 2110 staying standby mode?
 

Don't put STB into standby.

Get a plug-in timer and set it to switch off/on for 1 segment (equals 15 minutes approx) at some convenient time, overnight perhaps.

This solves a lot of problems if you have the misfortune to reside in an area where VM's infrastructure causes these kind of issues with their already shaky DTV platform.

The inherent problems have definately been exacibated by the rediculously substandard VM EPG software. Whoever designed an EPG that almost completely obscures the whole screen with a stupid message to tell you that currently you cant use your remote control, that renders the EPG unusable around 1.00pm, presumably as it downloads a new program guide, needs to be taken round the back and given a good kicking :).

There's no remedy for the EPG except to get Sky installed.
