The Tangent Quattro MK II radio does not respond to changes made to the configuration file

[AndrewKosen]

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions on how to get the radio working again! I have a Tangent radio I did everything, everything works! But I couldn't finish the quick wifi wake up and preset expansion functions. I did everything correctly, made the appropriate changes to the config file, double-checked that the changes were saved, but the radio did not react in any way to the added lines.

Great to hear that the patching worked!

Hmm. Are you sure you edited the right file. Is your radio config 931? And you followed all steps and committed to write protect? In my tangent quattro it worked.

And of course, are you sure that the radio didn't react?

[AndrewKosen]

Yes, ID version is 931. And I edited exactly file config931.txt. I have completed all the steps to edit and save the file. And then I made sure once again that the necessary lines were added. After rebooting the radio did not have any additional preset (7-12), the menu item about wifi or preset did not appear, and the radio also goes out of standby mode for a long time, searches for a network for a very long time.

Actually, I just checked my own radio and I can't access the presets menu. When clicking the Stations, it just complains about missing internet connection.

And also about that quick wifi wake up: I had it enabled, but after the Reciva went down, the radio began to power up automatically randomly, like at night. After disabling that setting it hasn't done it anymore.

Hi, first, big thanks for this writeup Jussi! I followed it and got things rolling without issue.

Then Andrew, did you note that wifi-standby-power-menu does not enable wifi-power on by itself (I thought so at first)? Rather adds it adds an option under Network Config to configure the standby WiFi power. Have you checked if that is available and if you can edit it, and if it has any effect.

I was going to enable it but after Jussi's comments about powering up during the night I will wait a bit.

If you want to confirm that the config changes are being applied, try editing the standby-text. I needed to pull the power to get it to reboot enough for it to apply.

[AndrewKosen]

Hi. After adding the "wifi-standby-power-menu on" line, the OSD did not change. There is no new sub-menu item under the "Network Coonfiguration". However, the radio works well and does not wake up at night. I noticed another problem - in media player mode (DLNA) I can't listen to music files. The file plays for a few seconds and then stops with a message "searching for the network".

[jisotalo]

Thanks @gnyman! I didn't remember that the standby config adds that menu, but now it sounds familliar.

@AndrewKosen did you try taking the power cable off and back on? Maybe a stupid question but still.

[AndrewKosen]

Oh my god! I even reset the distribution fuse board :) By the way I have an even stupider question - can the string "wifi-standby-power-menu" be inserted in any section of the config file?

Regarding standby, my issue is probably listed here: http://iradioforum.net/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=54fresb5pb902q1gme5t98kro0&topic=2115.msg18940#msg18940 "However, it may not work on ist generation radios which do not have the hardware to supply power to the network section in standby"

I don't think the position of the setting matters.

Here is my config file

I confirm Andrew's post with Tangent Quattro, with the same config file 931 (which is the hardware ID for Reciva), and no preset menu in the end
Anyway, thank you a lot for writing this noob step by step process, it worked flawlessly, and the radio is useful again, at least for the first 6 presets.
