Centrafuse 2.0 RC2

**mnickolson** · 05-13-2008, 04:04 PM

First thanks David. I will have to say Centrafuse has come a long way since the last time I tried it. The only draw back I can find now is that you only have one choice for GPS software. It needs the option to choose the GPS software it would be great. The navigation software is sluggish and not very accurate as compared to iGuidance. I will test this for a while and see if I can live with the GPS problem or just stick with .....

I am getting 100% CPU usage as soon as I open CF RC2 on two different systems. Both of them I uninstalled RC1 completely before installing RC2.

I cant even exit out of the application, I have to end task it.

My CF RC2 crashes about every 15 minutes. I did fresh install for RC2. What do I do with the .flux files - post them here or email to Flux?

No, phone and graphics are disabled. Only nav is enabled. Also, I tried to go Tools, Sys. Info and it took it about 10 minutes to load.

I just tried to attach the .flux file, but I don't think it worked. Here is the zip file with 2 .flux files for different problems.

I think I'm having the same problems as these other people. The first couple of times I used CF2 RC2 (clean install), it would play music.

Now when I click the Music button on the main screen, it just hangs. It also hangs on certain popup dialogs, such as when I press the "i" Information button on the Radio screen, and the dialog appeared telling me that I didn't have the right hardware.

I can End Task on CF to close the UI, but centrafuse.exe stays stuck in memory and attempting to shutdown Windows just makes it hang. I have to manually turn off the PC. After 3 times of that happening, I think I'll hold off on any more attempts to use CF until a newer version is out.

Yeah, same here. When I click on the Playlists button it opens right away, but when I click on Music button, the button will change the color, but CF just hangs.

I was able to get it working better by decreasing the display resolution.

I have the carpc in the house hooked up to my 1680x1050 monitor. At that res, it was using 80+% CPU. I dropped it down to the 800x600 that I run it at in the car and its running at 20% CPU now. Much better.

One thing I noticed... I much prefer the older Day/Night skin theme, but I dont see the phone battery icon? I see it blip up there, and then dissapear. I do, however, see it in the Aura skin (which does have some nice additions, and the lack of the menu bar which is nice, too) but it doesnt work well in the car environment for me unfortunately. Is that an oversight, or is simply that there isnt enough room for it? I'd like it if it were there... wouldnt mind if the menu drop down was gone either. Any way for us to do that with a quick skin mod?

The phone does seem to reconnect after hibernation, but still no contacts or any other features? (iphone here)

Any update on iphone/itouch "ipod connectivity"?

Thanks!
