I have recently received a purple S2+ with biscotti and it has stuck on memory mode and will not change. Apart from reflashing is there any other fix for it apart from a new driver?
I have messaged Simon as I have two of these with a third on the way and don’t want to find they all have the same issue.
I’m very unimpressed with this … in late 2018 Simon is still sending out flashlights which are too fast, and also apparently he is still sending ones with broken memory toggle. The pruple is a brand new model and these are problems known for over 1 year.
On this site many praise him but this is really terrible QC, or lack of regard for customers, or both. Maybe he was better in the past?
To answer your question, there is no trick or workaround that I am aware of. You need to reflash or get a new driver.
So, been reading through this thread (and a few others) and I count my lucky stars that the two Biscotti Convoys I have, both with the overclocked first-batch boards, work perfectly fine for me.
Legit the only issue I have (and it affects both torches) is that on the mode group select, starting on group 7 all groups blink one less time than their respective group number (group 6 blinks 6 times, then group 7 also blinks 6 times, group 8 blinks 7 times, and so it goes), so I’ve gotten used to counting the second-long lulls between groups and it’s worked well by me thus far, so I can live with it.
My new drivers arrived yesterday, so hopefully I will be able to work something out. I do have to admit that while I love what Convoy is making, Simon’s lack of “QC” is bothering me. Getting a S2+/XPL HI with biscotti, a brand new offering, shouldn’t result in busted drivers being sent.
Where did you buy it? If you just received it then I would complain to the store. It is defective and you should be compensated at least a few bucks in order to purchase a replacement driver (or firmware flashing equipment).
I would have done same with mine if I noticed the problem immediately after receiving.
Same here, you won’t get any complaints from me I also like the speed of the mode group selection – the less time I have to spend configuring my stuff, the better.
I just received an orange s2+ with Biscotti. I just set it to mode group 2 and it has no memory so this one is working fine. 2 out of 3 working OK for me. I got a partial refund from Simon for the one with the driver issue.
I like it faster too, but widely-sold stuff generally needs to accommodate the lowest common denominator. Some people have difficulty with it blinking too fast, so I intentionally made it slower than I would for just me.
Simon offer to send me new driver. I prefer discount for nexr order because after the orange one I ordered cyan and desert tan with same driver and violet with old one. Orange S2+ came first, others are on their way. Let me see what will happend when they arrived.
