Bug Report: A03 bios for Dell XPS 13 (2015) causing keyboard repeating keypresses

This is an odd issue, which I thought I should bring to the attention of the Dell team somehow.
I installed the A03 bios for my XPS 13 a few days ago, when it was pushed out to my laptop. Immediately, I started to get the 'repeating keypresses' issue that a few people have reported. Button presses, especially to the spacebar, started to appear twice when the button was only pressed once. This was an intermittent issue - I'd roughly estimate it was one keypress in ten, if not less.
Surprised, I rolled back the bios to A02, then to A01, then to A00. Only on rolling back to A00 did the problem resolve itself. I'm currently running the A00 bios and the problem is gone. Which is fine, as I didn't have any complaints to begin with, but it's rather odd that a bios update breaks things rather than fixing them.
I'm aware this is probably not a widespread issue (otherwise I would have read more complaints about it) but I thought the team should be aware.
Many thanks.

Can confirm.
Installed A03 today and now I get duplicate keypresses every now and then, it's mildly annoying. I haven't tried rolling back to a previous BIOS.

I have to report you about bugs in latest BIOS for MSI-6545 ver.1 (version BIOS 1.7).
After flashig BIOS I cannot change parameters "Shutdown temperatures", "Spread spectrum" and some others !!!
When I try to do it, my computer hangs.
I have CPU PIV-2.4-400-512 with memory 512MB Samsung original PC-800 ECC
(By the way,there was no problems with BIOS 1.5 and CPU Intel PIV-1.6)

I have also noticed that the bios write protect control is missing.
I don't know the reason why it's been removed but if you want to protect your bios you can set the jumper (J16) on your motherboard.
If the jumper (J16) is shorted (Little plastic thing conecting both pins together) then the bios flash is locked and can't be updated.
If the jumper (J16) is not shorted (Little plastic thing removed) then the bios flash is unlocked.
Also can anyone tell me if two gameports are listed in the Device Manager after clearing cmos using bios 1.7.
Bios 1.5 is ok apart from the fact that i can't upgrade my processor to 2.6GHz as it only supports up to 2.2GHz so if i upgrade processor i won't be able to clear cmos because of the problem with the gameports.
I have tried everything to get rid of one of the gameports but nothing seems to work apart from going back to bios 1.5 which is no good because i wan't to upgrade my processor.

[Solved] No sound on Dell XPS 13 2015 (9343) with BIOS A03

I have been unable to get sound to work on my new 2015 Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition running kernel 4.0.1-1-ARCH. Arch is the only OS installed.
I have checked the wiki page and this forum post, which seems to indicate it should work with this configuration out of the box.
However, audio does not play through the speakers (the speakers were working in the original Ubuntu 14.04 installation) and when I tried to un-mute the volume, as described in the ALSA wiki page I received the following message:
$ amixer sset Master unmute
amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Master',0
I am not sure what other pertinent information to post, please forgive my ignorance and let me know. Thank you for your assistance.

I have installed the patched kernel and rebooted twice but am still encountering the same problem. The only difference to altercation's instructions is that the aur package has been updated:
$ uname -r
4.0.2-1-xps13-alt
The output of amixer is identical to before. However, there are now two headphone channels visible in alsamixer, which were not present under the stock kernel.

The channel which is set at 20 gives a continuous "beep" (sine tone?) through headphones, when they are plugged into the jack.

The only other thing I have noticed in ~20 minutes of use are some graphical artefacts and flickering that occur with this kernel. I have previously set the Intel graphics acceleration to uxa, as described in the wiki, because of issues with virtual terminals and resuming from suspend. The graphical issues I am currently encountering are very minor, however.
Update:
Thanks to fumlead for this post. The problem seems to have been that the wrong card was set as default. Creating /etc/asound.conf and adding this:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
has solved the problem under both the stock and aur kernels. I am going to stick with the stock kernel because of the graphical issues encountered with the alternate kernel. I am not currently using the audio jack for a microphone, which I believe should work for the alternate kernel but not the stock one.
There is a small bug with the speakers not automatically being silenced when headphones are plugged in, but hopefully that will be fixed in kernel 4.1.
Thank you to everyone who viewed and commented in this thread and special thanks to fumlead.

Bug Report (reproducible) - Adding an appointment to Google Calendar causes Pre to display a blank calendar.

I have been able to reproduce an important bug on the Pre (webOS 1.0.2). I didn't see a way to submit an official bug report, so I'm posting it here.
Step 1: Import the following ical file into a Google calendar: http://www.halfwayproductions.com/test.ics
Step 2: Sync the Google calendar to your Pre
Step 3: Your Pre calendar appears completely blank!
It's worth noting that this file doesn't import correctly into Google calendar. Google gets the repeat wrong and puts the appointment at the wrong time. However, this shouldn't cause the Pre to display a blank calendar!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

EDgeofNJ wrote:
I confirmed that a meeting location with an apostrophe causes the event to not sync to Google Calendar. Interesting enough, I created an event on Google Calendar with an apostrophe in the location and it sync'd to my Pre, without causing the calendar to go blank. BTW, I'm on 1.1.0.
This seems like it would be a very common occurance as many meetings or appointments could possibly contain apostrophes in the location (Joe's office, Dr's office, Arthur's Tavern, etc). It leaves me with little confidence of what is on the Pre and what is in my Google Calendar, as there could be other issues causing events not to sync, and they are obviously not "in sync." Is anyone looking into a fix for this? (Is Palm or Google listening?) In the mean time, is there any way to get a log of events that did not sync, as opposed to blindly assuming everything was uploaded fine?
Message Edited by EDgeofNJ on 07-30-2009 10:18 AM
Some of these are known occurrences and I believe have been logged into the Palm SW database. Symbols had also been causing Facebook contacts to not sync properly as well. I don't know if getting a log of events that do not sync is possible at this time. However, if a user could post characters and their entry points that are known anomalies that cause the errors, that'd be useful.

Bug report: entering serial number does not work with azerty keyboard

I did not find a place to submit bug reports, so I'm posting here.
During the instalation of Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac, I was not able to enter any numbers in the serial number fields. Some other keys did work (like &é$...). My keyboard is an azerty (Belgium). Notice the numbers on an azerty keyboard have to be entered while holding the shift key. I tried switching the keyboard to "French - Numerical" (wich enables numbers to be entered with shift lock on), and then some number keys worked, and others didn't.
I solved this with a workaround, by temporary switching my keyboard to U.S. English.

You can submit a bug report by clicking "Feature Request/Bug Report" in the upper-right corner:

Despite what it says, I've seen no hard evidence that Adobe ever pays attention to PSE bug reports.

[bug-report] AI CC for Mac got "loading plugin error" at startup

Enviornment: 2012 late Mac Mini, OSX 10.8.6( English )
Just fresh installed adobe illustrator cc for Mac(Simplified Chinese), which is got "loading plugin error" at startup, even update AI or reinstall it after using adobe cc clean tool.
Finally I found it will be solved by selecting default lanugauge (North America English) at installer. Then I changed my OSX language to S Chinese then installed S_Chinese version AI CC that works without problem.
So, it shows AI got some language compatiabitily bug which is not happen on PS and InDesign (I installed Simplified Chinese version of both them on my english OSX without error)
Plz fix it in next version. Thanks so much.

Bug report - Grid edit for item help

Apex 4.0.2
Page 4000.408 in the Apex Builder (Grid Edit Item Help) can be used to bulk edit item help text. Tried to use this to set item help for a bunch of items. But it appears that the page only shows items that already have some help text. I guess the recommendation is to use the Seed Item Help Text button on that page to set some default text for all items and and then use this page to tweak as needed.
I am not sure I agree with this. Since this page (408) is a tabular form anyway, why not let us Add or Edit rows directly? Looking at the query behind the page, a simple tweak would make it so
from WWV_FLOW_STEP_ITEM_HELP h,
       wwv_flow_step_items i,
       wwv_flow_field_templates t
where h.flow_id = :fb_flow_id
   and i.id = h.flow_item_id(+)
   and i.item_field_template = t.id (+)by just changing h.flow_id to i.flow_id . The query formation is a little non-standard as it outer-joins the wwv_flow_step_items table and also puts a exact match predicate on it. Tom says it better than I can.
Update - This page is really broken. I spent 30 minutes on filling in the Help Text boxes and clicked Apply Changes and none of the changes were saved, they went back to the default seed text. Argh! Examining the page doesn't show why the MRU save process didn't fire, maybe some subtle bug.
Can someone from the Oracle Apex team can review and comment? Thanks

Hi VANJ,

Webcam Driver for Dell xps 1530 notebook

How can i identify the type of webcam installed in my notebook. I'm looking for actual windows 7 drivers for the webcam. Unfortunately on the dell support-site?there is no information available.
Thanks

,Marcello_t,
The drivers you see in the Creative download site are for retail webcams, you won't find integrated webcam drivers there. These are usually provided by the notebook vendor. I am afraid you will need to contact the vendor for assistance on locating the driver.

BUG-REPORT resource string for panelCollection

Hi all,

I noticed spelling error in MENUIEM and tried with MENUITEM instead, but that also doesn't work.
Does anyone know working key?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry,
after cleaning my adf application and restarting it, key af_panelCollection.LABEL_MENUITEM_COLUMNS_SHOWMORECOLUMNS (with fixed spelling error MENUIEM) works Ok.

Bug report: Possible reason for Creative Cloud sync error

Perhaps this helps someone in resolving/eradicating some "unexplained" sync errors.
I recently had a persistent sync error for five third-party images in a folder. It made no difference if I transferred the images via another method to my second computer: the error then simply occurred on both computers.
All the files are okay (not corrupt) but after some investigation, I discovered they had something in common:
All files had a creation date of 1 January 1970 01:00
(German OS-X 10.9.1 system, so probably 00:00 GMT, i.e. Unix epoch time).
Resetting the creation date via the terminal to a recent date, e.g.
> touch -t 201402171000 filename.jpg
resolved the problem and the files then synced.
I hope that helps for future versions of CC.
Best regards,
jools

The attached patch for db-4.7 makes two changes:
it allows enough for each bucket to have the configured number of threads, and
it initializes env->thr_nbuckets, which previously had not been initialized.
Please let us know how it works for you.

Dell XPS 13 (2015) - Windows 7/8.1 Dual Boot Audio Issue

Specs: I have the i5 FHD XPS 13 9343 with 8gb of ram and 256gb SSD.
I bought the computer for dual personal and business purposes. My company uses citrix to access virtual desktops and the security requirements are Windows 7/IE 9. Upon purchase, I partitioned part of the hard drive and installed Windows 7 alongside Windows 8.1.
Installing Windows 7 through UEFI mode to avoid having to wipe my Windows 8.1 install was challenging but I succeeded and installed all the Windows 7 drivers on Dells website. I got IE 9 and remote access up and running and thought I was good to go. The touchpad is a little rough in Windows 7, however when I am remote working I always have a mouse so it's not a big deal.
Then the issue began. I noticed that in Windows 8.1, when I put the computer to sleep, I would lose my audio device. When I restarted it would still be gone, only a full shutdown would bring it back. I also began to lose my audio device in Windows 7 either after sleep or entirely from a cold startup.
I have tried everything. Uninstalled and reinstalled the realtek drivers under windows 7 and 8.1 multiple times, tried to get microsoft HD audio drivers to install, even attempted a regedit fix I found on pcgamer.com. Nothing has gotten me to the point where I can consistently sleep the computer in both OSes and regain sound, or restart between OSes and keep the sound. Sometimes I can sleep the computer and keep sound, however once I lose it, I must shutdown and startup again to regain it.
The hard drive still has the original partitions from Dell. I don't know if this has any effect. My Windows 7 partition is 60 GB.
Anyone who has any idea what may be happening I would love some help. I really don't want to wipe the HD since my remote access is so finicky and I would rather not lose that Windows 7 install at this time.

Well every so often the audio device stops working and it seems to disappear and reappear periodically. No audio will play and audio tests fail.
Have just uninstalled / reinstalled drivers (again) and it's back working, however I'm not getting my hopes up!

Dell xps 13 2015, flat and dull audio quality from headphones

Hi!
Anyone else experiencing that the sound quality through headphones is very flat and bad? I get no bass response at all. The MAXX 3 programe does nothing that improves the actual audio frequency output. Support told me nothing is wrong with my system only that it is how it is. Electronic Music is unbearable. There is nothing wrong hardware wise with my headphone jack it is just the missing frequencies that drive me mad.

Martinr92
nor does the driver update window show anything else than the realtek driver
Here is another method of installing the Windows native audio driver.
1. Open the Device Manager (Control Panel>Device Manager) and expand the "Sound, video and game controllers" category.
2. Right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio" to open the context menu.
3. Select to uninstall.
4. Put a check in the box "delete the driver software for this device". Don't skip this step.
5. Restart the laptop. Windows will remove the current Realtek driver and its files and install the native audio driver (named "High Definition Audio Device").
Note: But If you had any older Realtek driver files on the hard drive Windows will install the older Realtek driver instead of the native driver. So go back to the Device Manager and see if there is another instance of Realtek High Definition Audio. If so, repeat the removal process and repeat as many times as necessary until there is no longer Realtek High Definition Audio in Device Manager.
After all Realtek driver files have been removed, you will see "High Definition Audio Device" in Device Manager. [To get back to the Realtek driver after using this method, you have to download a fresh copy of it from the XPS 13 9343 support page.]
If you can get the native driver installed, check for the Speaker properties Enhancements tab.

Bug Report - uninstalling causing reboot

Environment:
WinXP, 32bit
VMWare Player 6.0.1
Network PPPOE
When upgrading to 6.0.4, I have to uninstall 6.0.1.
But during the uninstall process, my network PPPOE disconnect and then reboot.
Workaround:
Disconnect the PPPOE, then uninstall VMWare Player.
I don't know if other VMWare products face this, neither if v6.0.4 faces this.
Does anyone know where can I submit a bug?

Can confirm.
Installed A03 today and now I get duplicate keypresses every now and then, it's mildly annoying. I haven't tried rolling back to a previous BIOS.

OK. Removed all partitions, created sda1 for Vista, sda2 for swap, sda3 for root and sda4 for home. I installed Arch first (doesn't really matter) when I installed Vista (but then of course I had to boot my Arch installation with the CD again to reinstall grub, but no problems). Works now.
BUT. Heads up: Windows Vista installation (don't know if SP1 solves this, this CD doesn't have SP1) hangs after some reboots when it tries to identify the hardware. I can see the USB devices on the computer link, then the display goes black and goes back on again (detecting the graphics card or whatever), and then it just sits there, doing nothing. No HDD activity or nothing. The solution? Change SATA mode in BIOS _from_ AHCI _to_ ATA.
Just for future reference.
I have a problem though, I can't access the internet from my Arch. Modprobe:ing the bcm43xx module just says "driver loaded" in dmesg, but I don't get wlan0 or eth1 (eth0 is LAN card) or anything, iwconfig etc says "no devices with wireless extensions". Any ideas?
Edit: Doh, need fwcutter for the wlan. Downloading it now, putting it on my USB stick. Hopefully it will work

Bug Report: New conversation window stills the sys...

Bug Report: Skype Desktop: New conversation window stills the system/keyboard focus.
When the UI is in multi-window mode and a conversation window pops up (due for example to a newly received chat message), that window steals the system/keyboard focus, even though it appears in a minimized state in the Windows taskbar. And this should not happen by default, because it is impractical (especially for screen reader users). And it didn't happen in Skype 6.21 and earlier. But since the new UI was introduced officially in Skype 7.0, it started happening constantly.
Steps to reproduce it:
1. From "View" menu, activate the "Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
2. From Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM settings, enable "Open a new window when I receive a new message in Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
3. From Tools -> Options -> Advanced, activate "Enable accessible mode", if it is not already enabled.
4. Activate the "Save" button, to save the changes.
5. Close all windows, related to Skype. You may keep only the main window opened.
6. Move the system focus to another application.
7. Tell someone to send you a chat message. When the message arrives and the conversation window pops up minimized in the Windows Taskbar, everything seams to be as it should. A few seconds after that however, the system/keyboard focus gets moved to that new conversation window, even though it is neither restored/maximized (it is minimized), nor it is visible on the screen (except as a button in the taskbar).
Actual results:
When a new conversation window pops up in the Windows taskbar, it stills the system/keyboard focus to itself from the currently focused application.
Expected results:
Skype's popping up new conversation windows should not still the system/keyboard focus to themselfs from the currently focused application.
Test environment:
- Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit, in Bulgarian with all locale settings set to "Bulgarian".
- Skype version: 7.0.0.102 for Desktop.

This is a known problem, but Skype have not given us an estimated time for a fix.
Traditionally, Skype updates have been roughly monthly, so we are due a new version sometime soon. Many of us here are hoping that is has a bunch of fixes for the UI, the focus problem being one of them.
