Sign the InFocus 4805 firmware upgrade petition

Done!

Thanks

Can someone post a Cliff's Notes version of what has been going on to-date?
If you could explain it like I am a 10 year old that would be appreciated.

Specifically: what was fixed, new problem introduced, Infocus' official stance on moving forward, option to upgrade/downgrade firmware at home, etc.

Just figured the info should be in the thread asking people to sign the petition.
Personally, I'd be more than happy to sign if I knew the details. And I think a case like this should be signed by more than just SP4805 owners ... because (potential) lack of support/firmware upgrades could send a bad precedent overall in the HT market. Not just on this specific model.

The 4805 loses the signal when switching between standard def and high def forcing you to reach for the remote and hit "auto image" every time you change channels. The firmware upgrade they issued addressed that problem but causes a flickering, so most people are suffering the inconvenience rather than risk a flickering image. There are some other improvements but I don't recall what exactly they were. It's been a loooong time between fixes and InFocus is responsible for this.

I put my X on the Petition.

Wow... That is a terrible bug! I can't believe people buy the 4805 with that bug. I hope they fix it ASAP. X1 users used to have that problem until they added the synx checkbox to the firmware. I guess someone at Infocus forgot to add that to the 4805.....

Done!

I have signed the petition. I'd love to see a fix for this problem.

Done.

Done...I think. Too many frickin other things to site wanted me to do after submitting the petition.

Done! Just click NO for all the other crud!!!!

Done

Yup... I signed it and I don't even own the 4805.

Done.

A quick message to InFocus: You can choose to ignore those of us that bought your entry level pj. But I guarantee you that my next upgraded pj will not be an InFocus. Plain and simple.

Done! How in good conscience release firmware this flawed? Great PJ and don't regret purchase, but c'mon Infocus...get your sh*t together!

I hope InFocus pays us all the attention and respect we deserve. This is how a company wins or loses repeat business.

Is there any way to see how many people have signed so far?

Signed.

Is there a way to go back to the first firmware? I'd much rather have to hit a button on the remote than to have a messed up picture.

The link to the original firmware can be found here:

I made an inquiry about the firmware to infocus. This is what they said:

"We are still working to address the flickering issue and hope to have it resolved some time in the near future, however we do not have an ETA for when this issue will be resolved."

So...they're still telling the same 'ol story eh. They told me the exact same thing 6 months ago!

x marks the spot... I have not upgraded. I do not mind hitting the auto image button... But, will be nice when I do not have to do so...

Mine doesn't do that. I'm using VGA, is that why I don't have the problem? No upgrades, purchased in December 04. I'll sign the petition but I don't think I'll fix what ain't broke.

Thanks for the Cliff's notes Martin!

On a side note, you may want more than 300 signatures if you really want to open some eyes. From what I am reading from one industry reporting company (TFC) ... over 10,000 SP4805's have been sold since released.

Obviously this number would be low because there are some dealers not reporting to this source.

But, then again, 300 happy customers thinking about upgrading in 3-5 years might be all they need to put some extra effort into the upgrade?

In any case, best of luck to you guys!
