All that does is delete the iCloud account on your phone, nothing more.

Write-back dimensions and how do they affect other users of the cube?

If write-back is enabled on a cell or dimension and a value is changed, will it affect other users of that data as well?
When the cube is rebuilt will those new values/updates be overwritten?

Hi Shifrbit,
Writeback is implemented as ROLAP partition. Analysis Services creates a table in relational database where it stores writeback data. User do not need to worry about the mechanism Analysis Server is using to store writeback data. You can re-process your
cube without concern of loosing data. Writeback will not disappear after process the cube. For the detail information about it, please refer to the link below to see

Problems with stuck/dead pixels, battery life, ICS, and other problems

Stuck/Dead Pixels:
I bought my Droid Razr at around the 21st of December last year. On or around Christmas, I found a bright red pixel on the very bottom of my screen. Unlucky for me, I was leaving for Florida on Christmas Night. I got back on December 31st. Sometime in the first week of this year, I visited my verizon store and told the customer service lady that I had a dead pixel on my screen and had just bought it. But, she told me that she needed the manager to fix this and there was no manager there. For the next week I was busy with school and sports etc and was not able to go back to the store. It was now past my 14 day return period. So I decided, its only one pixel, most people won't notice it anyway. So here I am 5 months later, just starting to discover more pixels dying on my screen. I now have the one bright red one, two light blue ones, and one dark red. I have no idea what the return policy is on defective phones, and the verizon site is designed so that you can't find anything. And an FYI, I have tried stuck pixel removers and other apps, which haven't been successful.
Battery Life:
I have also been finding more problems with my phone. The battery life is terrible when 4G and even 3G are on. I actually see no difference in battery consumption between 3G/4G. My battery dies about 4-5X faster when data is turned on, compared to using no data. I know it isn't because of the apps I installed since when I use WiFi, the battery is alright. I also make sure that my RAM isn't above 400MB, so that the processor doesn't use a lot of battery. I feel like I completely wasted my money buying the Razr. Mainly because of the fact that the Razr Maxx was announced two weeks later, which has about 80% more battery. Not only this, but I've seen the Razr selling for only ONE PENNY on amazon over the past month and it still is. I payed $300 on my Razr.
Ice Cream Sandwich:
After these major problems comes another one, that I bet all Razr and Razr Maxx customers are still thinking about. When will I get Ice Cream Sandwich? It is very disappointing when you are told that you will be getting an upgrade in early 2012, and are still wondering where your upgrade is 5 full months in. From what I understand, we won't see an upgrade until the end of June, since Motorola has posted on their website that "rollouts" would begin in the second quarter. Even if they release it by the end of June, when will it get to your phone? Maybe another week or two for some people. This is another thing that I feel I wasted my money on. My brother told me to get the Nexus because of ICS, but I trusted Motorola that they would upgrade my phone in a timely manner. WRONG.
Phone Freezing:
One more problem that I've had is that the phone will freeze. Usually you only need to turn the screen off and on, but once in a while, you have to completely reboot your phone. When I was coming back from Florida, right as I was about to get home, my phone completely froze. I was about to go return it, but after about 15-20 minutes, it became unfrozen.
Motion Sensor not functioning:
Another problem, an annoying one, is that sometimes the motion sensor that controls portrait and landscape mode will just stop working. Some of the games I play are completely dependent on the motion sensor. It is very embarrassing when you are trying to show off to an iPhone friend and major components of your phone aren't working. They always tell me "why didn't you get an iPhone?". And I really just wanted to have a phone that didn't look like everyone else's, but I guess that comes at a cost. When the motion sensor stops working, I have to shut down my phone and restart, which takes a couple minutes.
Problems with camera:
My last problem would be with the camera. Sometimes if you bring the camera close to something, like a barcode, it will keep trying to focus, but never will. Another problem is photo quality in low light situations. It seems like the camera can't focus because it goes from being very dark into being bright because of the flash. I doubt this can be fixed because it's hardware, but a potential fix could be having the option to keep the LED light on during picture mode, that way the camera will be able to focus correctly.
In Conclusion:
I really just want someone to tell me how to return my phone for a new one, due to the dead pixels. I also wish I could be upgraded to the Razr Maxx because of the poor battery life on the Razr, but from what other people are saying, that probably won't happen. And finally, if anyone has more info about Ice Cream Sandwich, that would be awesome.

Well since it's a Manufacturing Error it should Fall under your Warranty if you got one with your Razr. You know you can Call C.S. an they can Assist you with the Matter on it.. Just remember to have another phone so they can Trouble shoot the One that is Experiencing the Issue an when you talk to them go over thing. An they should send you C.G.A.N unless they request you to send it in before you get anther one. If you feel Better going to the Store try that. And Good Luck..

Will warranty cover 1 dead pixel and an incredibly annoying screen flicker?

Problems:
1) I have 1 dead pixel on my iPod Touch and it's very annoying as it sticks out because the entire screen is black, and there is just this dot of light
2) I sometimes use my iPod Touch in the dark, so this means that I keep the contrast at the lowest level, as it being too bright hurts my eyes. The problem with this is that the screen flickers between contrasts slightly and it ends up making me feel dizzy.
I've tried turning the auto brightness option to off to prevent the above, but it doesn't make any difference. I've also tried turning the contrast slightly up too, but still it flickers slightly.
Any advice?
Thanks

The warranty will cover a dead pixel and the flickering screen. But before we get drastic, let's do some troubleshooting. Try a hard reset by holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time until the Apple logo appears on screen. Skip the slide to power off screen.

Dead pixel in my screen? What will apple do?

It seems that I have a dead pixel in my screen. I have a keen eye for them as I have had to replace 2 LCD tv's because of this. Even though it is'nt a huge deal I would like it fixed. Any idea on how apple will handle this? Just replace the phone I'm assuming. Anyone have this problem also? What was the outcome?

So in other words what your saying is, there is a standard for how much your screen has to "not work" for them to care? And I read the pixel anomalies article by apple and it seems like a pretty BS way of getting out of replacing a phone. I talked to my buddy who is a TV salesman and he said it is rare to have this happen with TV's and when it does they replace them. Seems like apple should do the same. Hopefully I can get the issue resolved because this is
not the only problem. When I am in the recent/contacts section my screen doesnt work or jumps around (doesnt select where I put my finger, goes random).

Hi I have an iPad 2 it's only 4 months old I've dropped it once and has a dent in top right hand corner and also has a dead pixel would anyone know if apple will repair or replace my iPad ?

If anyone can give me some advice on this subject would be great!!!

If you purchased the AC+ coverage package then yes, they will, the first of two times you're covered for accidental damage and it will cost you $45.
If you did not purchase it then yes, they will, but they won't repair it but will, instead, replace it for somewhere around $400. I seem to remember that that price was independent of model, but you'd have to check.
Absent the accidental damage they probably would have replaced your iPad for free as a matter of course due to the dead pixel, but I'd expect that option to be off the table.
You can always live with it, as long as the dent doesn't seem to have dislodged the screen. They will sometimes come loose as a result; check for increased light leakage in a darkened room, perhaps just looking at the backlighting, to see if that has happened.

So i have a dead pixel on my rMBP does anyone know if apple will replace it or repair it if i take it to the store?

Its a Late 2013 MBP and its the higher end 16gb ram model
Ive only had it a few months so its under the one year warranty, and it had like 1 or 2 really annoying dead pixels.
Will apple replace it or repair it if i take it in?

You'd better make a reservation of Genius Bar and show them the problem, dead pixels and ask for repair if it's possible.

So i have a dead pixel on my MBP will apple place it if i go to the store?

Hi dizzyspanks,
For information about pixel anomalies such as you describe, I would suggest that you read this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Iphone has a dead pixel, will apple exchange for a new one?

I just noticed a dead pixel on the center of iphones display. The pixel is tiny but my eyes keeps fixating on them and its annoying. What should I do?

They will replace it, they have reserves for replacement that often the manager is the only one aware of. I had the same problem and it drove me NUTS! The manger replaced it with his emergency secret stash. I feel so much better now and my new one is perfect. That one pixel in the middle of the screen was so annoying!

Will they replace for a single dead pixel????

My new macbook pro is beautiful. I would have to say it is one of the nicest laptops I have ever owned. I have two real complaints and one minor. Almost smack dab in the middle of the gorgeous display is a solitary dead pixel. At first I thought I could live with it but it has been two days and I unfortunately cannot. I am afraid that apple will not allow an exchange for this though, so I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem.
The other complaint of note is of the very nice glass trackpad. While I really enjoy using it, mine is canted from flush on the left to a noticeable lower attitude on the right side. While this is something that I can live with, I just feel like when you drop $3000.00 on a laptop it is not to much to expect perfection in the product. This I doubt would be repaired and is a bit nicpickie.
The other complaint is one that has already been posted about the screens hinge tension. I would have not noticed until I tried some alternate positions, such as in bed.
If anyone could offer any advice or is experiencing similar problems please post. I am fairly new to apple products and am curious if it is even worth my time to call and try to find a solution.
Thank you in advance.

I believe you need to have 5 or more dead pixels to quality for a replacement. If you're not happy though, call Apple and ask for Customer Relations (bypass support). They will take care of you.
For other people that want to check their screens for dead pixels, use PIXel Checker.

Nokia N8 - Dead Pixel On Screen

Hi all. Last week I noticed that I might have 1 dead pixel on my screen. its a little black dot that stays at about 10-o'clock position on the screen.
I tried to ignore it, but I just cant because everytime I swipe pictures left and right, the black dot stick out, and my eye is staring at the dot instead of my pictures.
I had to sent my N8 back for a new replacement. It's a shame because I am really happy with the phone aside from that stupid dead pixel.
I just hope that my new replacement won't have any new problems or another dead pixels! I am worried that Nokia quality is dwindling...
So guys please check your screen throughly for dead pixel. Let me know of your findings. I really hope that I am the only one affected..

For sure it is sad that you had a black pixel.
But you will not be allone, And that is normal.
Think about numbers: you have thousands of pixels (around 200K for each color), Nokia is selling (hopefully) millions of N8. It is just question of probability that some persons will get dead pixels. Nobody, and this include the best quality checks possible, will be able to ensure 100% error free devices. And if it would be possible, you might not be able to pay it.
There will be always some devices with problems, For them it is important to have a good and quick support and replacement policy. And Nokia, as I know the company, is handling this quite good.
N8-00 with orange case, loving it
If my post was helpfull, click on the white star and give me an KuDo ;-)

Dissatisfied with Toshiba support due to dead pixel

Poetential buyers of Toshiba products beware. Toshiba offers very little support. All they do is try to weasel out of warranty repairs. After owning 14 toshiba laptops, for myself and my business, I will never spend another dollar with Toshiba.
I have a custom P750. 10 days after receiving it, the motherboard fried. Instead of offering me a replacement unit, I had to wait several days for a box, mail it off, wait for the repairs, and wait for them to mail it back. I couldn't drop it off at the local Toshiba repair facility. Actually, I could, but if I did that, I would be responsible for the cost of repairs. I have no clue what logic there is to that, but there you go. After that 3 week ordeal, I finally got my machine.
Fast forward to this weekend. A pixel burns out on my screen. My warranty is up in 2 weeks. So begin the repair process. I am astounded when the lady informs me that Toshiba will not fix it. She says "we don't fix screens that only have I dead pixel" and "One pixel does not affect the machine's performance". Well pardon me, but it sure affects me looking at a black dot on my screen 24/7. I ask to speak to a supervisor, she puts me on hold, comes back and tells me she talked with a "level 2 technician" who informed her they wouldn't fix a screen with a dead pixel. Again I ask to speak to a supervisor, so she tells me I'll get a call back.
So an hour later I get a call back from a "supervisor" who tells me they will not fix a screen with a dead pixel. I try to explain to him, that pixel makes the screen defective, and I want it fixed under warranty. If I'm selling this machine, and somebody asks me "Are there any dead pixels?", I'll have to say yes, and lose money in the process. He tells me again "we don't fix screens for a dead pixel". As I try to explain to him what a warranty is, he cuts me off and tells me he spoke with someone, and they've determined that pixel is the result of physical damage, and therefore not covered at all. ?!?!?

First of all, how could you possible come to that conclusion without seeing it? Second, how did it go from we don't fix screens with x number or dead pixels, to "you must have damaged it somehow, so we aren't responsible. Third, how it is possible for me to physically damage 1 pixel? Anybody? Cuz I can't think of anything. At this point to guy is rude, and I'm being rude back How dare Toshiba try to worm out their warranty by saying I damaged it. Gutless.
The "supervisor" then told me he was transferring me to customer relations. I asked to speak to his supervisor, but he said no and put me on hold. There I sat for 20 minutes. Nobody ever came on. Real professional. So, 3 calls later, toshiba agreed to send me a box to send it in, but they couldn't promise me they would fix it. THE WARRANTY IS THE PROMISE! So the Toshiba technician, who I'm sure will be fair and impartial, gets the final say so on my repair. Great. In 2 weeks when my warranty expires I expect my burnt pixel amount to exceed whatever is necessary to send it in. The difference? It'll cost me $400 for Toshiba to fix it.
Shame on you Toshiba. I've filed a complaint with the BBB, and I will be spending the night on social media expressing this story of how you treat your long time customers. Your "customer service" is a sham. Your business practices are shady and unethical. I will never spend another dollar on anything Toshiba Nor will anybody I know. Did I mention I work in lighting and video production? Now I know you will read this and honestly not care that you aren't getting my money or anybody I know's money. I'm just a little guy. But you keep this up and you will see a difference from the thousands of other people you treat as an ATM. Shame on you.

A Dead Pixel After Just 1 Month

I bought my 24" Aluminum iMac a few days after the release of Leopard from my local AAFES (military exchange service). The unit I purchases was a return, but they gave me a 20% discount. There was no way I could possibly turn that offer down. When I got the unit home, all was in order except for a couple white dots at the very bottom right of the display. I was immediately turned off, but my folks talked me into keeping it and having it fixed later. I opted out of the AAFES warranty instead to buy an Apple Care Plan for the iMac at a later time.
Anywho, just the other day, I noticed a dead pixel on the display. It doesn't affect much, but I'm starting to grow tired of these little problems.
After reading a few discussions online, I'm worried Apple will not fix the display issue. Does anyone have some advice?

I have the same problem. I bought a 20in iMac (brand new) and noticed a dead pixel about a month later. I'll try the iTunes visualizer trick. The pixel is right near the center of the screen, so it's hard to avoid noticing it. This is especially sad to see in Apple's displays, which are otherwise remarkable.
