(BUG REPORT) Kudos to the Dev Team OS 2.0 Rocks Major Improvement

Kudos to the BB Playbook OS 2.0 Dev Team (Excellent Release!!)I want to give my personal thanks as a loyal blackberry customer to the Developer/ Coding Team over at RIM. I am thoroughly impressed with the update. I absolutely love the reader feature. The new home screen and folders is implemented wonderfully. Also, it appears battery life has been improved (No easy task). Great job. 
There are a few little bugs to be fixed for the next maintanence update. 
1. Flash is not polished, it's only partially working.
The daily show (with John Stewart) (www.thedailyshow.com)(full episodes link), and several other flash video webistes have trouble with the controls (play, pause). The controls either don't show, or don't function, or neither, or function sporadically. Also, possibly an app could be created so that a flash video stream would open in a separate window allowing the controls to function correctly if there is some reason it is difficult in the web browswer. I can get the daily show playing but, pausing it, or fastforwarding, now that's a challenge. Make the buttons larger maybe (I don't know if that's possible, not familiar with flash.)
2. Media Player: The media player has some bug in the code that is causing it to become choppy when scrolling through the list of songs.  I have some album art, and maybe that has something to do with it. But I didn't notice it before the update.
Also, it may be a neat idea to add some different color backgrounds to the music player skin(Hot pink, or something) to take care of the lady geeks, women buy stuff too, think all girl dorm room full of playbooks. Also, it is kind of a less than sexy music player skin (Unlike the new home screen wow, very polished.) Also, because all my music doesn't have album art, it makes the music player look strange. Some of the icons have only 3 of 4 pictures filled in Looks weird. 
Also, when fast forwarding with the slider bar clicking with my finger causes a slight pop in the earphones (It needs to mute, then fastforward, then unmute, then play.) Imagine a playbook hooked up at a wedding to a 5000 dollar soundsystem, pop, then bye bye speakers.
3. Book Reader Power Mode - I was using "Book Reader" app from the app store and I noticed something that could be fixed. The truth is that when people read ebooks, the power managment settings should be a little different. I suggest adding a 3rd power managment mode that the ebook reader apps can access. That way, every time I open an ebook it sets the screen to stop going dim every 30 seconds like I would use for messages and general use throughout the day. It should stay the same in this mode rather plugged in or not. The screen brightness should not be affected by the power plug either. "Nothing like waking the wife up with the flashlight tablet because it was going dead and you decided to plug it in while reading your technical manual at 2am."  
4. Silent on schedule (Totally Silent, VIP Vibrate, VIP ring) (A feature that I wished both my bold 9700, and playbook had was a feature I'll call silent on schedule. The idea is simple, for the most part people know what time they need their phone to shut up and be quiet. Why can't RIM integrate silent mode with our calenders. A simple checkbox in the calender options and your phone (and playbook) will automatically stay silent, except for VIPs. It goes without saying that your ringer should go to normal at the end of the meeting, or court appearance (lots of lawyers use blackberry), lot's of students would appreciate this too. It would save us from having to constantly be changing our ringing mode all day. If I were RIM I would patent that one. (If you do, and want to send me a new touch screen phone as a thanks that's cool with me, but not required, just free thoughts for you to use however you want.) 
5. Strange WiFi (The playbook has a strange issue where sometimes the wifi displays near zero. I don't know if this is software or hardware. My MBP and Bold 9700 have no such issue. It's a cisco/linksys router with dual g/n. 
6. Before I forget, the web browswer is now awesome. Load times are acceptable. I would like to add though that of all the web browswer's the style, and color of this one is not what I would call "in fashion." 
7. Idea: create an over the air sync system for the blackberry bridge. It should always keep the contacts, calender and maybe photos updated. Since, someone surely has a patent on this one, let me suggest a workaround called 1 at a time. Do an initial sync via usb to both devices on the desktop manager. Then only one device has to ever be connected to sync to laptop, as the other one syncs over bluetooth one item (contact, calender entry, photo at a time.)
8. Not always on bluetooth. Something tells me that it is not the most secure thing to leave the bluetooth constantly running and connected giving those keys over the air. Maybe it could connect at intervals (or upon status change (message, new contact, calender entry)). This might also save battery too. Just a thought. 
I know how easy it is to forget about style, when mechanics are tinkiering around with the insides, but make the fastest car ugly, and no one will buy it. Also, Bill Gates was asked while in the presence of Steve Jobs what was the one thing Steve had he wished he had... Bill Gates said roughly "I wish I had Steve's eye for Style." 
The truth is as technology advances, it will fade to the background. Fashion will be where people meed the device. People love a good running car, but gorgeous get's em into the showroom. 
Oh yea, like the new keyboard a lot. 

Have I mentioned how much i love my playbook now Great job on os 2.0

  • Do discussions (threads) in this forum ever get elevated to bug reports seen by the Adobe dev's?

    This forum is a fertile source of user feedback for Adobe. Is there a system in place to create tickets or bug reports or something like that out of issue brought up here? Seems like a good idea.

    User to User forum.
    Adobe may read some items here. That's up to the development teams. If the dev team sees something and is interested then it may perhaps get logged, But you should never assume anything on the forums is actually logged anywhere but here.
    If you've found a bug, you should log it using the feadback link at the bottom of this (or any) page.

  • What was the dev team thinking with Firefox v29?

    So I was just auto-upgraded to firefox 29, and I need to know: What exactly was the dev team thinking when they designed it? Title bar disabled by default? Total removal of the add-on bar? Tabs forcibly on top? Seriously, stop trying to be chrome. Chrome is aesthetically and functionally terrible, why do you keep trying to emulate them? I can't speak for the community, but for myself and for people I know, one of the main reasons we use firefox is because we strongly dislike chromes layout. For the time being, I've downgraded to v28, and disabled auto-updates.

    Let's take advantage of the fact that we have Developers around.
    You are obviously unhappy with the development decisions, and that is normally off topic in this forum, but right now because of Firefox 29 Release we will have Developers around popping in to the forum. I will add an escalate tag. If we are lucky a Developer may give an explanation and a proper answer to your question.

  • How does one join the dev team?

    Hi,
    I was looking around the wiki and did some keyword searches for dev and developer, and I know the wiki talks about becoming TUs.  A recent thread mentioned several times that the devs were swamped.  Is it silly to ask if it's possible to add more devs?
    Thank you,
    Rob

    Generally it's an invite-only process.  AFAIK, we currently don't have any kind of formal application process - I became a dev because I was noticed as being an energetic TU, IIRC.
    If you want to become a developer, and you feel you have an impressive 'resume', I suppose you could email Aaron and ask to be inducted - worst that could happen would be he says "try to establish yourself in the community first - become a TU" or something like that.

  • Bug report: Controls in the Data Entry property page reset when using relative time

    Create a blank VI.
    Drop a numeric control.
    Right click and select "Display Format".
    Change to a relative time.
    Switch to the "Data Entry" tab page.
    Uncheck the "Use Default Limits" boolean.
    Try changing the values and you will see that they return to their previous values (inf, by default). This persists even after pressing OK and opening the dialog again. It looks like the values are held in a cache and put back into the controls, since if you change a page and go back to the limits page, it shows the correct values. I also managed to get it to display the values using the correct format (relative time), which I assume is what it should be doing.
    This is in LabVIEW 8.6.
    Try to take over the world!

    Relative Time Data Entry Bug.vi ‏5 KB

    I spent some time playing around with this in 8.6.1, and at this time do not consider it a bug - unless there is something I completely missed.
    When you set to relative time, the inputs for data entry are expecting HH:MM or HH:MMS, depending on which display setting you chose.  Typing a '7' is undefined - does the user mean hours? Minutes? Seconds? Parsecs ?
    Once we type in a value that matches the format and we get the display to change, it is true that from now on if we type '7' in the field, it will automatically coerce it to 7:00, if we type 36 it coerces to 36:00.  If we type 7.5, it does not change the value at all.  I think at this point, the user knows what is going on, so this behavior is acceptable.  After accepting the changes and re-opening the properties window, the limits are persistent.
    I was not able to reproduce typing a '7' in the limit, having it automatically coerce back to '-inf', then going to a different tab or clicking ok, and coming back and seeing it as 7:00. It was still '-inf'.  If you have some more details on this, maybe I can reproduce it, but from everything I tried, users are be able to enter values and these values are saved.
    Edit - I am aware of the other forum post and the CAR filed there...

  • (little) bug in apex : for the apex team

    Hi,
    I have two applications in one workspace, both having some LOV´s.
    If I show from shared components the LOV´s of the first application it return several LOV´s
    If I do the same for the second application (having a smaller number of LOV´s) the reset pagination message comes up. Not logical ? Perhaps you can avoid it.

    Hi Flavio,
    Thanks for reporting this. I guess I can't say that this is a "feature"? ;)
    There are a number of ways this could be solved. I'm curious which you think is preferable.
    1) When changing any POST process to a process that is executed on SHOW, delete any button conditions (as you say, they won't be relevant anyway).
    2) Leave the button condition in place, but when viewing any process associated with a SHOW (e.g., Before Header), show the Button Condition region if the Button Condition is not null.
    3) Don't permit the change of Process Point if a Button Condition is present.
    Thanks again.

  • Bug report: Firefox5 uses the wrong unicode fonts (tested on Hebrew fonts)

    Even though the css defines the fonts as
    font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    Firefox5 which I have just upgraded to does not use the Hebrew Ariel font but goes for the first Hebrew font it finds installed on my system. In my case it's a font family called TheSmokerSerif, but since this is not a system font I assume this issue would be encountered by other users too.
    I recommend updating FF5 with a bugfix soon as this is bound to affect many unicode sites and would render Firefox5 unreadable (literally)

    I am also experiencing this annoying issue in FF5. On some websites (usbank.com, tweetdeck.com, for example), the primary Helvetica/Arial fonts are being replaced with the first Helvetica font it finds in my Windows fonts folder. As a result, ALL text on the screen was using some ultra wide + bold Helvetica font and near impossible to read.
    It took me a while to track it down, but after finding and manually DELETING the wrong Helvetica font being used from the Windows fonts folder, I restarted Firefox, and then the main font was replaced with some Ultra Light variant of Helvetica (the next font in line). I then deleted THAT font, restarted, and now websites are displaying correctly again.
    This is pretty annoying, as somehow the two Helvetica fonts I deleted are being automatically reinstalled on my system after a day or two. And when this happens, Firefox starts using the wrong Helvetica fonts again.
    Unfortunately I JUST fixed it again otherwise I would provide a picture or two. But I searched for "Firefox using wrong helvetica font" in Google and found this support thread.
    I hope this bug gets resolved very soon!

  • Bug report (BlackBerry Z10) - The default value of 10 attempt to enter your device password is not working.

    Hi BlackBerry / Community Support,
    My son had accidentally enter incorrect password 5 times on my Z10 (Model STL100-2, OS 10.1) and I could not unlocked it on my 6th attempt. The Z10 device does not recognize my correct password on my 6th attempt and was stuck on that attempt (every time I enter my password the device does not recognize it and will revert on the 6/10 attempt).
    The device is requiring me to enter "blackberry" even though it was just 6/10 attempt and I don't want to do it cause I know it will wipe my device. Any one who had experience this and found a solution please help.
    Thank you,

    I had the same thing happened to me not long ago, and when I typed BLACKBERRY, it went stait back to the password entry field and I lost absolutely NOTHING
    My advice is that you do what the phone ask just type BLACKBERRY, and then you will be able to type your password without losing anything

    What I mean is:

    like the AWT or the JBCL (grids, dataform,....)
    with are template for HTML generation
    - instead of write separate HTML , get the

  • 3D Widgets and Contact with Dev Team

    Hi there folks, Top Of The Mornin' from a new member of the iBooks Author community based in Ireland.
    My company has just uploaded an iBook to the store, and are awaiting approval for the various markets.
    When we initially installed iBooks Author, we were very interested in the 3D Widget capabilities as our background is real-time 3D.  Using the tried and tested trial and error approach, we were able to work through some of the issues, right from the basics ( how to get a textured object to appear ), through to more advanced options ( animations, setting up scenes for eye-cam view rather than spin around view, balancing the pivot point for more complex spin-around views ).
    The iBook we uploaded uses 3D widgets extensively ( almost on every page ).  During its creation, we had however a number of crashes with iBooks Author, and we hope to work with the iBook Author team to help get these resolved ( it's most likely that the bugs are there as 3D Widgets are fairly new and haven't been pushed to their limits so far ).
    We also have a number of feature requests for 3D interaction that we have implemented in our own custom 3D interactive scenes ( eg http://www.armaghplanet.com/3d ), that we would like to engage with the team to see if some of them can be introduced to the 3D Widgets in order to help both ourselves and of course any other iBooks author who wishes to use a 3D Widget within their content.
    Regarding getting in contact with the dev team, there doesn't seem to be ( or at least I haven't seen ) a way to directly contact them.  Hopefully there is a forum which the dev team visit and answer questions / chat with iBooks users about requested features etc.  If someone could help point me in the right direction for a contact, I would be very grateful.
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can offer advice on this...

    The only official avenue for contacting developers I know of is to join the Apple Developer Program and submit bug reports and feature requests. I've submitted quite a few bug reports for IBA, and have received fairly timely responses, typically asking for more information, such as memory dumps.
    For anything beyond this, I suspect you will need an inside contact.
