Touch causes temporary freeze

In developing a touchscreen interactive for a museum, I've run into a serious performance bug. There is a short (0.5 - 1 second) freeze that occurs right after a touch event has ended. This behavior is somewhat inconsistent, although it seems to happen more consistently at high frame rates. 
This behavior does not occur when using the mouse for input, only touch monitor via usb (I've tested on two different screens).
This behavior does not occur in the Flash Player, only AIR.
I do not know if this occurs with Windows 7, but it's only been tested on Windows 8.
I've created a bug here with more details:
Bug#3559420

Thank you for adding the bug report and including a sample project.  I've asked someone on the team to take a look.

  • Sound file causes temporary freezing

    Hi all, 
    I am new to labview and I've faced a problem during running my code.
    I have a code that calls subvi which plays a sound file of type .wav using Play Sound File VI and Sound Output Clear VI. The sound file should play when some events occure, the problem is that the application is freez a little bit when it is time to play that sound. So I think I should load that subvi or maybe the sound file whenevr the application start. 
    Do you have any suggestion for reloading that subvi or sound file and what I should use.
    It realy affects the performance of my application. 
    I appreciate your help.
    Thank you in advance 

    Many thanks for your reply
    Okay 
    Let me just make that clear 
    I am reading signals and wherver the value of the signal reach the limit ( Max Value ) I should alram the user by sound 
    so the subvi on the red circle should be called 
    and here its code 
    So what do you think?

  • What cause the ZEN Touch 2 to freeze?

    Hello,
    I've (finally) received my ZEN Touch 2 with GPS two days ago, and it truly is a fantastic MP3 Player. But guess what? Today, for the first time, it really did froze, using the N64oid emulator. When the ZEN is lagging, I'm simply waiting, and it work like a charm a few seconds later. But now, it was completely frozen. Touch Screen, Power button... Tried connecting to computer, no reaction.
    So in a bad mood, I tried reseting the unit, which I'm obviously not suposed to do often, I had a hard time. First, the reset hole is way too tiny!? Even with a paper clip or a pencil mine, this is ridiculously hard!? First, I even used the wrong hole, I though this was the reset hole, so yeah, the paper clip got inside the ZEN... Truly awesome. After all, I managed to remove it.
    And then, seemed like I got it, ZEN resetted, when I thought it was completely screwed, only two days after I received it!
    It seems to work correctly, now. Needless to saw I deleted the data, application and ROMs of N64oid, the right way (Along with PSXoid, which I haven't tested, but is probably similar.). When I first tried Super Mario 64, it was playable, at an OK speed. But today, I tried others ROMs, like Donkey Kong 64, or Tony Hawks Pro Skater, without a doubt, that was asking too much from the ZEN, since I couldn't pass the main menu.
    So now I really hope my ZEN will last,?Creative. I'm in Quebec, got it from California. Needed to ship it to Plattsburgh by Amazon.com, and to be fowarded to my house, since you unfortunately do not ship to Canada.
    I still have a one year warrantee, but undestand me, I?absolutely wouldn't want to ship it to Creative?in?the US, then get it shipped back to Plattsburgh, and then to my home. That'll cost me hell (Again)!
    Alright,?I'll?now like to know what cause the ZEN Touch 2 to freeze? In my case, that was the emulator that was too advanced for the ZEN (And since it doesn't support multi-touch, it's hardly playable without a USB keyboard or gamepad (Possible?), or Wiimote). ?I don't have applications running?in the backgroung, only one at a time.
    How can I avoid my ZEN to freeze again?
    Oh yes, one more question. Why when I start some applications, it instantly shut ("The application [...] (process com [...] has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.") ? How can I fix this?
    Thanks for the reply.

    )?Thanks for the reply.
    I unistalled many 3rd Party APPs (Only /3 were booting, anyways), and I can already see a huge difference with the fluidity of the menu. It's also turning on faster.
    I already uninstalled N64oid, but kept the others 2D emulators, never had a problem with them, they run without lagging.
    What's odd, however, I downloaded Firefox from ZiiO Space, ran it, and the ZEN went pretty much crazy; black screen, I tried to get back to the menu, pressing buttons and all that, and then the ZEN vibrated like hell, perhaps because I pressed the buttons a lot of time. I finally made it, without resetting, but that was freaking scary. Oo
    Uninstalled Firefox. I find it strange that I downloaded it from ZiiO Space, and that it doesn't work like normal.
    I'll try to be more careful while downloading APPs, if I can.
    I appreciate the reply.

  • I am moving my iTunes to a new laptop (from XP to 7). I can sync my iPod Classic but my iPod Touch 2nd Gen freezes.

    Hi,
    I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
    I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
    Thank you.
    Horace
    P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • My iphone touch screen is freezing

    my iphone touch screen is freezing, it wont let me do my thing on it as fast as I usually go.
    This phone has so many problems, its ridiculous and overrated.

    Hi..I did everyting..restored and had a screen protector on mine. Didn't do any good. Only the top part of my screen is super responsive even without touching its taking my inputs for the menus. Went to apple store couple of time and they diagnoised and said it might be a "Springpad" which is system feature thats causing the problems. I might have to swap it with a new one at apple store. Good that mine is still under 1 yr warranty

  • HD recycling leading to temporary freezes and directory damage

    Hi all
    I have an iMac 7, bought beginning of 2008.
    I have had no problems with the computer until now, either windows or osx.
    Over the past month I have been experiencing temporary freezes. This behavior in windows makes the computer freeze for about 2-4 minutes and then recovers. All the actions I make with the mouse during the freeze stack and resolve after the freeze. In OSX the freezes do not get in the minute range, just like 30 seconds long or so.
    The problem usually extends to data corruption and failure to boot anymore. I have reinstalled OSX and windows many times now and the problems repeat. To the extent that that even during OS installation I get corruption. Verifying the disk just after installation report unfixable directory damage.
    I am pretty convinced I have a hardware problem but I am trying to pinpoint it.
    Things I have looked into:
    Clear NVRAM & PRAM
    Performed RAM test
    Performed drive surface scans
    Check S.M.A.R.T monitoring.
    Graphics Tests
    All things have shown negative results. Anyhow, my intuition (which may be off) leads me to a Hard Disk mechanical/heat problem. When the freezes occur, I clearly hear something, recycling, spinning off and then on. It could be any fan but I think it is the hard disk. What I don't know is if the recycle is consequence or cause of the failure.
    The problem is getting worse in time. More frequent freezes and more frequent and evident data corruptions.
    The reason I want to pinpoint the problem is to ease the support process. Apple warranty does not cover my iMac but by my country laws it must if the failure is not caused by miss-use. Somehow I expect to be a heavy administrative paperwork process because I am going to have to show somehow I have not done any miss-use before hand.
    Other thing I am considering if its a hard drive problem, is opening the imac and replacing the HD myself, might be cheaper than the paperwork. Any suggestions on this??
    Thanks for reading.

    HI,
    *"Over the past month I have been experiencing temporary freezes."*
    How much free drive space is there? Control or right click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop. Click "Get Info". Under the General tab you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is at least 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
    Have you booted from your install disk, run Disk Utility?
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    And you could try the Apple Hardware Test

  • [SOLVED] UI temporary freezes

    Hi,
    I use gnome 3, and since a couple of days, I suffer from temporary freezes. It seems that it is only a screen update problem, as keyboard and mouse keep responding. I have googled a bit and search through the forums, but I can't find anything recent like this. Logs don't reveal much either. I use the intel driver, this is a core i5 laptop (arrandale).
    Any one experiencing the same, or with any clue about what could be causing this / how can I solve it?
    Thanks

    I'll answer myself in case it is useful for someone else. The freezes I experienced were due to some power saving options passed to the kernel taken from a phoronix article:
    i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1
    Removing them resolved the issue.

    Here's a couple things to try:
    Clear Safari History - Pull down History from the menu bar, select Clear History.
    Clear Safari Cache: Safari -> Empty Cache
    (You can also Reset Safari: Safari -> Reset Safari (this will remove everything and reset)
    One other thing that can cause some strange behavior are custom icons, although I haven't heard it causing this particular problem... Could be worth a try, can't hurt.
    Quit Safari, Open finder, go to your home directory > Library -> Safari ->Icons ... Drag the Icons folder to the trash. Re start Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated. You will loose all the custom Icons for sites visited, but they will be replaced the next time you hit those sites.

  • IPod touch 3 gen Freezes?

    I'm having this sort of problem.
    My ipod touch third gen freezes.
    it began freezing constantly since Saturday, so yesterday i restored it fully, and it has the latest software and stuff... i even deleted some stuff so i have oretty much free space.
    And still. it keeps freezing.
    and it has that bug where you are watching videos on you tube and the top bar moves to the left (as if you were watching it vertically) but viewing it horizontally, and with that bar it freezes, and lets you do nothing in that moment.
    what should i do?

    I can'r go to an apple store, cause there isnt any close to me.
    Yet, i'll [rpbably go to Best Buy -where i bought it- on saturday.
    hopefully they can fix it, or replace it. -i still got warrany, since i bought it... like 5 months ago-
    thanks anyway

  • Occasional temporary freezes on disk access (SSD)

    I'm using a SanDisk SD5SG225 SSD, and occasionally get random lockups with the disk light stuck on.  These pauses last for about 2-4 seconds, and usually occur when I save a file, open a new tab, etc.  The program that is using the disk will freeze.  I'm using LUKS (no LVM) and had discard with LUKS passthrough enabled, but currently have it disabled.
    Here is my fstab:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    # /dev/mapper/root UUID=8448cc36-99f5-4c90-b310-5688a447089f
    /dev/mapper/root / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
    # /dev/sda2 UUID=a26bb41c-3354-4f28-9a50-d02f7629b00b
    /dev/disk/by-partlabel/boot /boot ext2 rw,relatime 0 2
    /dev/disk/by-partlabel/efi /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime 0 2
    I'm not sure what other information to include.  Any help would be appreciated:  I'm scared I'm ruining the SSD somehow.

    Same problem here. Intel SSD.
    Examples of things that cause the temporary freeze (where the mouse pointer moves but extremely slowly):
    Playing an embedded Youtube clip on a page in Chromium
    Trying to add a printer in hp-setup
    HALP!

  • X200s Wireless Randomly Turning off Causing System Freeze

    Hi,
    I've run into a problem recently with my 2009 x200s running Windows 7 Home edition.
    Over the last day I noticed that after doing between 5-10 minutes of wireless web browsing, the system freezes.  The exact moment this happens, I also notice that the wireless indicator just below the LCD goes from active to inactive.  Further, while no amount of key-pressing does anything, including ctrl-alt-del, I can, amazingly, turn on/off the thinkpad lcd nightlight!  The only way to recover from this is to press down on the power button for 5 seconds and reboot.
    Then, 5-10 minutes later, the random freeze repeats.  That is, with the wireless indicator light doing from green to dark.
    By the third time this occured, I got a hint. I checked the event logs for anything unusual.  Nothing.
    I'm running a current version of Avast! antivirus and ran a Malwarebytes scan, again, nothing!
    I'm at my wit's end.  Any ideas from Lenovo gurus?
    Help!
    Best,
    Dave

    Ok, an update.
    The freezing occurred while working in the library.  That hadn't been a problem previously.  So, why today?
    I went home and tried it again.  Everything seemed to work fine.
    So, I guess my question now is this: Why would my x200s wireless connection stop working in a public access point causing a freeze in Win7 while working just fine at home??
    Odd....

  • ITunes Causing System Freezes

    After playing a CD or listening to my music library for a while, I get random freezes; eg spinning beachball in iTunes. It happens when an album is finished or a playlist is finished and I go back to iTunes to eject or quit or play a new playlist. Freezes. When I try to click Apple (in order to click on Force Quit), it isn't available...the beachball rules. The only thing I can do with the cursor is click on Finder in the Dock; or the desktop area outside of open apps. Cmnd+Q doesn't work. Cmnd+esc doesn't work. CmndoptnQ doesn't work. Cmndoptnesc brings up the force quit dialogue. That leads to a "force finder to quit?" dialogue. A couple times I've had to resort to hard rebooting.
    Suggestions would be appreciated; but another issue is the fact that this is causing system freezes and I was under the impression that the cool thing about OS X is that one app won't cause system freezes.
    There's another similar thread titled 'it crashes', but system freezes aren't mentioned.
    Any ideas?

    Still doing it...but I give up on getting any help.

  • Change working mode on X-Fi Titanium Fatality cause system freeze

    Hi.
    Using X-Fi Titanium Fatality soundcard and latest beta driver. But then I need change working mode (from Game to Audio Creation or Audio Creation to Game) it's cause system freeze. And only hard reset helps. No errors message or error logs in system.
    This problem appear only if I played any games in Game mode and after want listen music in Audio mode. If don't play any games or listen music, you can change modes multiple times without problem.
    I try clean Windows 7 installation and problem is still here.
