2ND DEFECTIVE S405 IN A WEEK: QUALITY PROBLEMS OR CHANCE?

Bought my daughter a new S405 with Win 8 five days ago. By the time she got back to college 8 hours later, the display had become erratic. Could be the Win 8 blank screen bug but it appeared more likely a loose connection in the display/hinge.
After a stressful week trying to get it to work reliably, Staples exchanged it today for a new unit. Within an hour, the touchpad on the new unit had failed. It works great with a wireless mouse but the system doesn't even show the touchpad installed any longer in Device Manager. Tried downloading the latest driver, etc., to no avail.
I generally like my ThinkPad X220 at work but it's been a little quirky, too. I've been saying Lenovo has a good rep dating back to the IBM days but is that no longer true? Is this the new, inevitable low point? What to do? It's obviously still under warranty. Cut my losses and switch brands? Frustrated

Why did you even except the second phone with all the imperfections you listed. From what it sounds like a used one would probably be in better shape than the two you got, Anything returned after the free return period is replaced with a used phone, which so states in the contract you signed.

M57 audio quality problem

Hi everyone,
I have 3 M57's with onboard Soundmax sound devices that have been downgraded to Win XP Pro w/SP3 and all of them are exhibiting audio quality problems. It seems like that audio is distorted most of the time. As an example, if a wave file is played 5 times it may sound distorted 3 out of the 5 playbacks. The only way to describe the distortion is it sounds like the audio is being downsampled to 1kHz.
I've also tried using speakers, headphones, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well, at least it's not just me. We've got over 100 of these workstations to roll out and I can't get the audio to work either. It's the exact same problem that mlieberum is having. I've tried about every single thing I can possibly think of. Everytime I think I've got it working, all of a sudden the sounds starts distorting. Something weird that I've noticed is that if Windows Media Player is open and playing music, the audio works all the time. As soon as you close media player, the sounds starts distorting again.
I've contacted Lenovo twice and they were absolutely no help at all. I've got to have 40 of these workstations done by the second week in January so I need to figure something out. If anyone has any ideas, I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Steve
Well since you said any ideas, the guy I helped out with his A52 sound drivers got good results from this site here

Print quality problems on Fuji Xerox printers when printing from ArchiCAD and/or Preview.

Hello,
We experience major print quality problems when printing directly from Graphisoft's ArchiCAD, Nemetscheks Vectorworks and from Apple's Preview.
Basically we see various artefacts on our printed drawings, e.g. line thicknesses change and hatched patterns / fills are reproduced with patches where the lineweights and clours change completely... which is not acceptable.
This affects the following Fuji Xerox printer models on both 10.6.x and 10.7.x with the latest FJX PPDs:
ApeosPort C5540I
Xerox LF6605 MF
The workarounds for us are to either print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Reader or via the rather dated Accxess Tools, besides that we prefer at times to print directly from a given Software it is also not always possible to generate a PDF and print it from Acrobat Reader... especially since the latest Adobe Reader update to its print dialogue makes printing from it extremely tedious - in fact we are considering going back to 9.5.2
Obviously, we have approached FJX Tech Support and are awaiting a reply - however we are disappointed that this is happening on relatively new equipment and wonder if anybody else has already found a solution.

The symptoms you mention could be related to the FJX engine and Acrobat is masking this fault. To test, you can create a Postscript file from the print dialog of ArchiCAD or VectorWorks and then download this to the Apeos RIP. If this produces the same result as when using the printer driver from the applications, then it would indicate that the engine is not capable of handling the data being sent to it from these applications.

4 Questions on New Project Settings with Pemiere Elements 9 - & Fix Quality Problems.

When I started my new project I selected PAL, DSLR - 1920 x 1080p - 24 fps.
Once in New Project, I dragged the movie onto the Timeline, then up poped a box saying something like "Fix Quality Problems", whch I accepted.
Q1 Which is the best frame rate to record in, to subsequently bring media into Premiere Elements 9?
I am in The UK so we have PAL and therefore, I could use 24p or 25p - 25 p is 25 fps, and 24p is 23.976 fps. per the Canon manual. [NB the Canon will not record at 50 or 60p in PAL]
Q2, I read somewhere that some Video Editors can not accept a movie file in its native format , and thus change it to a different format and then edit it, and then export and convert it back - often with a serious loss of quality. I would like to maximise the quality.
Q2i] Does Premiere Elements 9 do this converstion? If so does it harm the quality significantly - are there ways to avoid this?
Q2ii] and if so, is there a recording format best suited for me to record in, and subsequently import my videos into Premiere Elements 9? eg would it be better to record in 25 fps?
Q2iii] There was also a screen somewhere about this section like 2,2,3,2,2 I think its something to do with pulldown? What is the best setting for the highest quality?
Background info:-
I shot my videos with my new Canon DSLR 5D MkIII; I set the movie quality to:-
PAL, 1920 x 1080p ALL-I (this was the highest quality the 5DIII can record at, there was an "IPB" option for lower quality). And I selected 24 fps - which the manual says is actually 23.976 fps
The manual also says it is a MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 [movie recording compression] Recording Format = MOV
But strangely it loads onto my laptop as a "Quick Time Movie". I was expecting to see a .MOV file. [whether this is because this Sony Laptop comes with 'PMB Organiser' and view software. Or the hated iTunes changed how things are imported, I just don't understand any of this stuff . All I do know is iTunes repeatedly tried to change my default viewer. So did it change the format, which files are imported in?? [re loading the files from my cameras CF card into my laptop]
Any advice much appreciated
Peter

Peter,
The way out of the project is encoding. And recoding tends to degradation of the export in varying degrees for different formats. Typically DV AVI undergoes less change with reencoding than the rest. But, we are not dealing with DV AVI here. Your source appears to be
AVCHD (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) video compression
1920 x 1080 16:9 @ 24 progressive frames per second
Rather than export the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Timeline to a .mov file or something else and then importing that into Premiere Elements 11 for is AVCHD export, please consider trying to open the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 project in Premiere Elements 11 and then proceed there to export Publish+Share/Compute/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - H.264 1920 x 1080 p24.
Keep in mind that if you take a project created in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 and edit it in Premiere Elements 11 and then decide to further edit it in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1, cannot do. And, if some unexpected perk allows the opening of the Premiere Elements 11 edited version, there will be problems. Unless there is a special reason, best complete a project in the version that created and create anew in the newer version.
A just in case note, the original on the hard drive is not altered. Premiere Elements traces back to the original from the Project Assets thumbnail (copy of original).
But, you should make the comparsion between your H.264.mov opportunity in version 9.0/9.0.1 and your AVCHD.mp4 opportunity in Premiere Elements 11. I believe that you said that is your intention.
For your Premiere Elements 11 tryout download, check out another browser. I always had to go to Internet Explorer for that download. Firefox never was good for that. But with this version 11, Firefox did the job. I had better results saving the downloaded folder to Documents than I did to Desktop.
Please review and let us know if I have targeted your questions. If not, please detail what I overlooked.
Thanks.

QUALITY PROBLEM FASH STORAGE

I bough my MacBook Air in 2013, after 2 years using only internet, photos and music, nothing havy, I updated my OS X Yosemite and my computer turned off and never turn on again, with a question folder on it.
I look for the online support, I made step by step that exist on website and nothing happen. Even the chat support I did! However, nothing change and nobody could help me from apple.
So, I took my MacBook to the authorized technician support, that even the technical could not explain to me what happend with my flash storage, I totaly lost it.
I know that have a poor lot of flash storage that was sold between 2012 and 2013, the year I bough, but was in August and they said that the bad quality lot was until June, who guarantee me that was not this quality lot?
The problem of my computer for sure was a quality problem, I didnt used in a bad way.
The budged of the service is too high, almost a price of Sansung laptop, and I am wander if someone can give me a solution or something that can help, because apple didnt reply my quality problem, nobody nows why the computer is off and is pretty new.
I'm out of USA and hope to get my solution soon, because its a disrespect with the consumer.
If someone can give me a reply, I will appreciated.

Quality problem exporting from FCE

Hi,
i have a quality problem exporting from FCE. I have finalized a 30 minute movie and want to send it to friends on DVD or CD-ROM. when i use "export as quicktime movie" the file has 6.5 GB and won't fit on a DVD-ROM. when i use "export with quicktime conversion" and choose quicktime movie with H.264 compression and highest quality the movie goes down to 4.2GB. Now it would fit on a DVD-ROM, but the quality is not good. The picture looks blurred and i see some type of interlace-effect.
which type of export format do i have to choose to avoid the interlace and blurred pictures? is there a magic format that does not cost that much quality and reduces the movie by 30-40%? or would a video DVD work better? how do i create a DVD? with iDVD?
thanks for your help!

or would a video DVD work better? how do i create a DVD? with iDVD?
That's what Id do.
Export as QuickTime Movie (reference file is OK) and drop the export to iDVD.
You will get 1 hour of FCE Timeline on a single sided disc using Best Performance (iDVD setting).
Two hours using Best Quality (iDVD setting)

this is actually nothing new it has been discussed numerous times on various forums and blogs....it does happen, but most users do not report it as being an issue, i think you are presenting two issues one with the unglue of the naviwheel cover and the other a fracture...this is a forum for solving problems of a software nature, community users try to assist one another with pictures, messaging, camera, software issues and share some good solutions and ideas with one another...
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Subcontracted Stock at Vendor has quality problem - must be blocked

We have stock at a Vendor (Special Stock Type O) that has a possible quality problem. It must be put on hold until we determine the extent of the problem.
It is still showing up in MD04 as available stock. I tried to move it to QI with movement 322 but it still shows up as available.
How can I block that stock from consideration by MD04 without physically removing it from the Vendor?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards to all!

Hi ppkk,
Thanks for your thoughts.
The problem is that this stock is at the vendor, so there is no storage location. We have Quality related Storage Locations for stock in the plant, and if we move parts to those storage locations they do not show up as available stock in MD04.
But the Special Stock type O is just "Stock at Vendor" with no Storage Location.
I think that we would have to receive the stock back into our plant in order to move it to a Quality related Storage Location.
Does that make sense?
Thanks again.

Videos quality problem (N510 - nvidia ion)

Hi,
I'm running arch on my samsung N510, with its nvidia ion (Geforce 9400M). I've some video quality problems. When images changes go quickly, stripes appear at the top. I made a capture (http://yfrog.com/7acapturewep) that shows the problem, it shows the stripes on the whole image It is not to be considered as my actual problem : during playback I see stripes only at the top of image.
I use the nvidia driver, tried with and without vdpau, and with different video players (mplayer, vlc...), with the same problem.
The videos are xvid, or h.264, HD or not.
Any idea ?

your problem is called tearing and it's a well known issue:
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tearing
the nvidia drivers provide a seperate video output for media players that should prevent this, try:
xvinfo | grep Blitter
i have no tearing with composite enabled on my 6600GT
note that you do have to use the proper vide driver in mplayer. If you use smplayer, it's under options -> video. The nvidia anti-blitter output driver should be listed.

Aperture 3 : recurring quality problems with "auto levels"

Hello all,
I've been using Aperture 3 since the day of its release, and I have recurring problems with the quality of the "auto levels" output, compared to plain old Photoshop CS3. Auto-levels in Aperture 3 frequently output grainy results.
Here are some samples (look at the central vertical darker part of the image) :
— original image (well, part of it) shot using my Canon EOS 400D :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Original.jpg
— the same original image with "auto levels" applied in Photoshop CS3 :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Photoshop.jpg
— the same original image with "auto levels" applied in Aperture 3.0.1 :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Aperture.jpg
And here are both "auto-levelled" images zoomed in for convenience's sake :
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Photoshop-ZOOM.jpg
http://plainsong.online.fr/aperture/Auto-levels-Aperture-ZOOM.jpg
I would like to know if I'm the only one to get such crappy results in Aperture, on a not insignificant number of photos. These poor results are very visible in some photos. This is really irritating, because this lack of quality means I have to open those images in Photoshop just to apply auto-levels. And I thought Aperture would be smart enough to spare me those round-trips!
(By the way I've never had this kind of quality problems in Photoshop.)
Please share your experience. Thanks!

Here is another example :

Aperture auto-levels seem to choke on dark areas. Will we be obliged to bright and sunny shots ?
