Coins show no icon

Title Area: with Icon off, the coin shows by name or symbol instead9:41192.168.1.107

Symptoms

Icons not ready yet: wrong file size, with the expected and actual sizes and checksums New artwork: the pack about to be fetched, your coins return on their own

Cause

The logos are one pack stored beside the firmware, and a coin is drawn without a logo whenever that pack is absent or fails its check. A brand-new ticker, a ticker after a factory reset that found its pack damaged, and a ticker whose fault cure discarded the pack all start without one. The ticker fetches the pack in the background on its own, about half an hour after start and then every half hour until a download verifies. A firmware update that comes with new artwork keeps the old logos on screen until the new pack is in.

One coin with no logo while the others have theirs is a coin the pack does not include; it shows its symbol and name instead.

If the Title area setting excludes the icon, no logo is expected at all; that is a choice, not a fault.

Fix

  1. Check Title area in the Display section of the settings page includes the icon. See Title area.
  2. Leave the ticker on and on Wi-Fi for an hour. Watch for New artwork / 1814 KB to fetch, the Updating / Icons bar, and New icons / Restarting in 5s. After that restart the logos are back.
  3. If Icons not ready yet keeps returning with the same reason, the pack on the server is not verifying against what the ticker receives. The ticker keeps trying every half hour; a poor Wi-Fi link is the usual cause of a wrong file size. See The weak Wi-Fi card keeps appearing.
