Gymnae Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 This looks interesting. > 6. Enchance NVME support and reduce noise Anyone is brave enough to try the update first? Done, just updated. Works fine here with my system. Noise it not reduced, though EDIT: wmchris is correct, Sleep doesn't work anymore. Only the display and USB get powered off, fan and the rest of the system remain running. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krim404 Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Done, just updated. Works fine here with my system. Noise it not reduced, though sleep doesnt work anymore on my machine after update. it just powers off usb and display, fan still running. Can you confirm this?

Gymnae Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 sleep doesnt work anymore on my machine after update. it just powers off usb and display, fan still running. Can you confirm this? I honestly haven't checked. I updated the BIOS, watched it do its thing while having dinner, saw the Login screen and logged in. closed the lid afterwards. I hope it's sleeping. Will check once home. Maybe it will even magically fix my FCP X woes. EDIT: See above, I perceive the same behavior as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwin_c Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 For those, who have TB device on hands, and have already working config for USB-C (i mean - fully working, with hot-plug) - try to replace your SSDT-TB.aml with mine, reboot without TB device connected - and try to hotplug it after boot. Wait 10-20 second - and make dump from IOJones. P.S. Finally i got USB-C properly working with USBC-to-USBC cable connected between laptop and my lovely Google Pixel XL! Yes! It is working natively, and with hotplug SSDT-TB.zip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniryer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Dell released new USB type C/thunderbolt firmware update for Dell docks along side with the bios update. Can someone check if it is affecting anything. I would do this by myself but currently I am using ssd with only Windows installed on it.

th3_v0ice Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Is anyone experiencing numbers 0 and 9 randomly popping inside a text area while using the touchpad? This mainly occurs while horizontal scrolling or selecting. Is there a way to disable the gestures without manually changing and recompiling the driver? I read somewhere on the forum that the options for gestures in the touchpad menu are useless? Thanks. Updating to the latest drivers disabled everything. Not sure if because of the trackpad settings menu which were disabled or because of the driver. No more random 0 or 9 appearing, which is good.

Gymnae Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's a bit strange, but without closing the lid and letting the system fall asleep by itself OR by selecting sleep from the apple-menu , it sleeps fine with the .29 bios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th3_v0ice Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have a dell dock on hand for a couple of days. I tried it today without any modifications of the system and it was working out of the box. By that I mean hot plugging it. The only problem that I encountered is not correct colour on the attached monitors. I only tried with HDMI and VGA port. Don't have DP monitors. I will try to provide the dump from IOjones tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniryer Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I've never had problem with colour reproduction on the external displays attached to mine Dell dock, have you tried to install and manually change the color profile of your displays in the Mac OS. On the other hand I still have a problem with connecting mouse and keyboard to the dock. It's still not recognised even after replacing ssdt-tb.aml file with the one provided by goodwin_c.

th3_v0ice Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I did, but they are detected as 30bit and 32bit displays, while they are 24bit panels. I assume that is the problem with the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniryer Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Have you checked if they are detected in the same way while they are plugged into hdmi built-in the xps?

goodwin_c Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Good news - just got almost new TB15 from eBay - just for 30$ !!! So, in next few weeks i will have thunderbolt device to try to help with tb issues 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabeelmoeen Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Goodwin_c good luck with it ..but with all the issues I read about with TB15 on Windows.......would be tough to isolate whether any issue is because of OS x or thr device itself :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniryer Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Dell TB15 has been discontinued by Dell due to the many various issues with its hardware and firmware, Dell even offered a replacement for people who bought TB15 on TB16, but you can still trying. TB15 in this price is worth at least giving it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwin_c Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 As i know - TB15 has two major issues - overheat with dual 4k monitors connected and some problems with interferences (related to laptops wifi). Both issues can be easily fixed with right hands + soldering iron to mount Fan, and some foil tape to make shielding So i think it's worth spending 30$ for such device :-D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwin_c Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 @wmchris Just got my new 97Wh battery! It works! It is really recognized by laptop and works just fine (currently making first full charge, but System Information shows 8.4Ah capacity of battery) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniryer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 If that are the major flaws of TB15 I might consider selling mine WD15 (USB-C dock) and buying used TB15 from eBay. Thanks for heads up. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk From what i have found - new TB16 is same TB15 with added RF shield (to avoid interference from laptop wifi) and added holes on case + cooler that is working always (ppl are not happy with permanent noise :-D ) Didn't found any other changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodwin_c Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 my last ssdt-tb was just interesting try, and in real life it is messy and not properly wrote. So for now better to skip trying it. I'm waiting my TB15 and after this i will try to look closer how i can improve that (there is very big todo list, especially debugging dell acpi code - to determinate how TB chip is enabled/disabled/switched between usbc/alternative(tb) modes etc.). Our main issue is that dell has ACPI controlled stuff, that controls chip, and it is powering it off when nothing is connected. But Apple has different behavior - looks like they are not totally shutting down TB, and chip is less ACPI and more driver controlled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
