Harmony Remotes - Software/Firmware

Do not update your remote, there are a lot of problems with the latest version.

My 895 is worthless at this moment.
I can't normally work with it.

If you want to read what, then look at the following link:

Is it possible it could have something to do with this aswell.

Java Error -- Context: (None) -- 1 Parameters: java.lang.NullPointerException

I had that "null exception" error too. I reran the set-up for one of my devices and that error disappeared. Now if only I could solve my "double button pressing" issue.....

I too updated my remote before it was too late! I found a temporary workaround  but not fully depressing the button and it's only sending one command the majority of the time. If I fully press down on the buttons it repeats the commands. It's definitely not a solution, but I'm able to work this way for a day or 2 until there is a solution. Next time I'll check the forums before update my remote. Good lord...................

Dragged out my four remotes. They still work thank goodness.

Hey, i wonder if my problem is related to this. Basically my remote has been working perfectly for about a month now, i haven't update the remote recently (unless it updates without you knowing when u connect the remote to the program) . Basically my remote repeats all commands 2 times today. I try navigating a menu on my dvd player and it keeps jumping 2 spots with 1 button press. I tried ejecting a cd, and it would close and open with one button press. Some buttons like the play button, does not work anymore.. It worked yesterday but somehow it stopped working today

That's what my remote is doing right now as well. It **bleep** bad because my entire HT is used with this remote. I've had to go out and buy batteries for my old remotes!!!!!

I hope that this is rectified and soon.
