Firmware bugs

Hello!
I found three firmware bugs and already informed the hotline about one of them in january. It is not fixed in firmware 1.1, so I am posting here.
The first, already reported, bug can be seen with German language setting when configuring the alarm clock. The dialog where you can enter the desired alarm time shows am/pm time although the other time options change to 24h display when setting the iPod to German.
The second bug is inside the game Solitair. Very often you can't move a card to the "finished" stack, although it matches perfectly. For example you can move a red four on top of a black five, but not on top of the (matching) red three at the top.
The third bug is inside the game Brick. I noticed sometimes the ball does not get faster over time which makes it very easy to go through all levels. In fact after some time the first level re-appears.
The following facts are annoying, but I don't know if I can call them bugs.
a) My computer very often loses the connection to the iPod while transferring (large) files. I am using opensource software (Linux, gtkpod), so it might be something to preven t users from using non-supported hardware.
The first message indicating the problem is
"Nov 26 13:38:13 carsten-otto usb 1-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 71" just after the transfer stopped. This message repeats some times and then everything gets messy.
b) Videos stop playing with sound after some time. I did not try with official videos yet, but my self built videos do meet the requirements and should play. After about ten seconds the video stops for about 5 seconds and then starts again, but from now on without sound. Whenever I seek to a new position I can have sound again, but only for another ten seconds.
Please tell me how to solve the problems and/or how to contact Apple so that they can help me.
Thank you,
Carsten Otto

The Video issue I am having, and I believe all people are having with 5th Generation Video IPODS. I've installed probably 8 or 9 programs over the last two days, hoping to find one that doesn't screw up the video/sound after a few minutes.
It's interesting because none of the Video Podcasts seem to have a problem running on it, but some information regarding how this is working for Video Podcasts but nothing else is missing. I would hope a firmware upgrade is in the works to fix this problem, because if not I anticipate a large recall, and I think this would be bad publicity for Apple, at a time when many competitors are biting at the bit to take a share out of the market.

Firmware bug: $CCERT must not be used in Report_Rule

Prolog
"Report Rule" can be configured with URL's used to save phone's current configuration. Starting with 7.5.2b firmware it is possible to configure more than one URL here. The semi-colon has been used as separator. It caused issues because semi-colon can be used in casual URL, so the separator has been changed to space in 7.5.5 (see Bug in Report_Rule parsing (SPA50x, fw 7.5.x) for more)
As of 7.5.7 firmware, the 2048 certificates has been introduced and value of $CCERT variable may contain text "Installed (2048 bits)". It cause other issue related to Report Rule parsing.
Issue & how to repeat
$CCERT can be used on "Report Rule" no longer because of wrong parsing order.
The author of firmware first call variable expansion for complete "Report Rule" string, then split the result by space in attempt to found second URL.
With Report Rule configured to https://test.local/Report.php?Product=$PN&CERT=$CCERT it is parsed to:
first_rule is https://test.local/Cisco/Report.php?Product=SPA508G&CERT=Installed, second_rule is (2048 bits)
It is wrong result. In advance, it reveal the characters inserted into URL by variable expansion are not escaped properly.
How to fix
The order of parsing steps needs to be reversed. Report Rule need to be split into parts first, then variable expansion should be called for both parts independently. Also, strings expanded from variables should be url-encoded properly.
Disclaimer
I will not call SMB support to report this bug to them. Assuming the Cisco is interested to repair firmware bugs a staff member monitoring this forum will create ticked by self. I wish that all relevant information including the depth-in analysis has been disclosed here. I'm ready to provide further details or create test environment if necessary. I'm just not willing to call the Support center as I'm not willing to explain all those complex things described here by phone (and they doesn't accept written reports).
For those non-Cisco-staff users affected by issue - feel free to report the issue to Support center, if you are willing to do it. You are allowed to use information disclosed here, or just refer to this report. I don't care the authorship.

You are not alone on this one, I am having the very same issue as you are and . Everything functioned just fine the last time the application was deployed was deployed and there was nothing changed to any of the reports or code which handles the reports; however, this time I am having the same issue. I added the parameters to the report to check to see if they were actually being recognized by the report and they do show up, but it refuses to filter the records and brings back every record. The report works properly if I run it just directly in Crystal though. I sure hope someone can enlighten us Paul.
Update: Well, I finally figured out what was causing my issue. The issue had to deal with the actual older version of the CrystalReportViewer control and the newer version supplied by the update. I had suspected it was something minor that I had overlooked when doing the update. Hope this gets you going as well. Cheers

E55 Thread for Firmware Bugs

I noticed that there isn't yet a thread in order to report E55 firmware bugs, so I started this
Here the firmware bugs I've found:
- Hidden WLAN: when you search for wireless access points (for example from the main screen) the phone see always one "hidden wlan", that is not there!
- Default phone numbers: when you have more phone numbers for a contact, you can choose one of these as default for messaging or dialing, but even if you do that, E55 keep asking you what number to use every time you make a sms
- Organizer major bug: sometimes (80% of times!) when you edit a memo in Organizer, or when you move it (by changing the start date), you will see that also the end date has changed (adding 1 or more days), even if you didn't touch it! And even if the start and the end date originally matched! So if you had a memo covering one day, now it covers more days, and the end date can't be changed again (you set the correct date, save, and none happens). This make the memos totally unusable!
- Organizer minor bug: when you open Organizer, and then open a memo, you have to select the information that you want to modify (text, date, synch) and click one more time to edit the memo. But: if you select the "date" or the "synch" row, instead of the "text" row, and then click "modify", the memo is open alway with the cursor on the "text" row. So, the capability of selecting others rows, is pretty useless.
I hope some Nokia guy will notice this thread so there informations can be useful for a future firmware release, also because I'm getting crazy with the memos issue!!

hi olandesevolante
about ur first and second issues u face they r not realy bugs, why?
for the first one: i faced that with my E51 in a place i visited before, that hidden WLAN maybe a conflict from another type of waves other than that of wlan using same frequency
and about the second issue: default phone numbers is a feature that only set for making calls but when u make an sms the phone will ask u to choose between numbers present unders the same contact name even if u set a default number, so it is not a bug but that is the normal firmware properties
for the rest of issues , they sound like real bugs
i hope i helped a little and i wish those bugs will be removed in the next firmware

Firmware bug: CPU1 tried to use APIC500

Every time I want to use the computer (HP Compaq 6005 Pro small form factor) I have to switch it on and then push the reset button after booting up to a black screen.
I once got :
Firmware bug: CPU1 tried to use APIC500 (LVT offset0) for vector 0x400 but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another CPU.
Any ideas?

Firmware bug? No Connect/Disconnect button on "Manual" PPPoE option

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge this is a firmware bug.
There is no Connect/Disconnect option when choosing "Manual" from the PPPoE settings.
There are two related (unanswered) posts:

Is there an official way to report such a bug?
Does anybody have another solution?
Thanks,

Nokia 5320 XM firmware bugs concerning date and al...

Hello!
Although already having twice sent in my Nokia 5320 XpressMusic for repair, I'm still suffering from severe firmware bugs concerning date and alarm of the device. Here some information on when and how the bugs are showing themselves:
Settings: A different weekly alarm is programmed for each day of the week. The phone is being switched off for the night.
The programmed alarm is being run correctly by the phone. The phone is being switched on after having disabled the alarm.
Some time later the date changes to four or five days in the future. Moreover the phone starts to ring for the day the date has changed to. Often it's not ringing at the time that has been programmed for that day, even though pretending to do so.
Example:
9:45 on Sunday: phone is correctly ringing at the programmed time.
10:15 on Sunday: phone is incorrectly ringing again pretending it was Friday 7:50
the clock remains unchanged, however the date has changed automatically for five days
Linked to this error, there seem to exist similar problems with date and snooze-function already mentioned on these forums:
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=145323
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=144139
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=143893
As I mentioned above, I already sent my phone in twice, however I always got it back with the mention: repaired on guarantee. To me, this seems rather disgraceful for Nokia. I sincerely hope, that, if necessary with the pressure of other users being concerned as well, we arrive to get a phone that is really working as one could await it from the leader in mobile phone production!
I hope we will be informed soon about when there will be a firmware update!
Thanks for your replies!
Regards,
Lorenz

Have the same problem, as I already mentioned in my posts too. But unfortunatly no reply from Nokia either. Seems they really don't care about it. It would be at least apropriate, that they at least announce time of new firmware and note if they will fix this problem with it.
But no replay from them I contacted local nokia dealer in Slovenia, but they just say they can not help. And that we must wait for new firmware.
Now I wonder, when it should came out ?! I am sick of this trouble with my phone. and as you said, I am also turning off my phone since I want my battery to last longer. so this bug must be fixed.
Nokia team, anyone?!?!?

6220c firmware bug?

Updated firmware to 5.15 in my 6220 classic yesterday. After some memory card trouble, it now seems to work, with one exception that I have noted. If I do *#0000# and then options/check for updates and select my usual ISP, I get a message saying "system error". Other ways of accessing Internet work fine with this ISP. Could this be a firmware bug?

i have same problem with my 6220c firmware 5.15,and i have reflashed the firmware twice still same problem,i am unable to watch mobile tv on my tv screen via tv out cable,the voice works fine on tv but there is no picture except a key with a slash in blue background on my tv,and its almost a year now since nokia released a new firmware for 6220c generic and other phones like 5800,5530,n79,n97,n96 etc has goten 2 or 3 firmwares each 2009/2010

IPod Firmware bug?

Hi.
I just bought an iPod Nano 2Gb Black about 1 month ago.
But unfortunally it has started to "hang" at the star ratigng system. If i go to that option, i can't make i disappear. :S I keeps showing that screen even though i push the center button.
Is this a Firmware bug, and how do I fix it? It's ******* me off that an only 1 month old iPod already screwed me like that.
//CV-DK

This is a known bug with some iPod models, including yours.
You'll need to update your iPod to the newest firmware using the latest iPod Updater Utility to resolve this problem.
Additionally, since you have a Nano, you may want to post future topics in the Nano forum instead of the 5th Generation iPod forum.

If a hard reset does not solve the issue then you only other option is to send it to a Nokia Care Point. You can find your nearest

WRT120N Latest firmware BUG & PATCH

Hello,
I just bought a WRT120N Wireless Access Point. I upgraded its firmware to the latest available (v1.0.04) but there is a BUG in the "Applications & Gaming" section. In particular, in the "Single Port Forwarding": two applications with the same internal port, even with different IP addresses, can be added and the error message is "Port Number is duplicate.".
This behavior is incorrect and can be explained with an example: let us assume we have two web server behind the NAT. Both are listening on the default port 80/tcp and have address 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3. It is possible to forward the data received by the router on port 80/tcp to the web server 192.168.1.2 and the data received by the router on port 8080/tcp to the web server 192.168.1.3. This is allowed because everything is unique: if the router receive a packet on port 80/tcp it have to rewrite the destination IP address and insert 192.168.1.2 while if it receive a packet on port 8080/tcp it have to rewrite the destination IP address and tcp port (192.168.1.3 and 80). It is irrelevant that final port destination is the same. Of course, it is important that the two rules have a different external port: otherwise the router could not distinguish between them but the internal port is irrelevant (as long as two rules are not identical).
The BUG is circumscribed in the JavaScript since I tried to "nop" the wrong check with Firefox/Firebug and the rules are correctly memorized in the configuration and they works without issues.
I Fixed the JavaScript and, in the following, there is the patch. Actually, this patch does not solve another minor BUG: theoretically it is possible to redirect two different external ports to the same couple internal IP/port. The solution is trivial too, but this would require rewrite a larger portion of code, so I decided to not fix this minor BUG because it is less severe and the scenario is less common.
This BUG seems tightly related to http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=85768&query.id=245618#M85768 but that one is on another router/firmware (that I do not own) so I do not know if this patch apply to that BUG too.
Please let me know if you need further informations

First of all I would suggest you to reset the router for 45 seconds and reconfigure all the settings again as you have upgraded the router's firmware.
What is the IP address you are getting from the modem...?
What happen when you connect the computer directly to the Modem..?
Do not load the backup config file on the router.After resetting the router,reconfigure all the settings again.

E71 Firmware Bug with USB Mass Storage.

Hi,
Just got a e71, it has the latest firmware, it's mostly good except for this bug.
If you install a new theme on a memory card and then attempt to use the USB for mass storage it will always lock the card no matter how you disconnect from the USB, it always reports Memory card in use.
What is supposed to happen is the phone is supposed to switch to a theme on the phone memory and unload the theme on the card, it does indeed switch themes, but does not unload the theme on the card, so the only way to free the card is to reboot the phone.
If anyone from Nokia is looking at this forum, you guys need to fix these little bugs with the firmware. A update to the OS the E71x is using would be nice by the way. I paid a lot of money for this unlocked phone and expect it to be rock solid.

I had this problem with the memory card. All you do is set the USB connection to PC suit and not Mass Storage. If it's in PC suit mode you don't loose the memory card and it always let you access it. I never bother with mass storage anymore. Also set to don't ask if you want. I ahve no issues since I di this and am using the 200 firmware.
To transfer files to the card I go into my computer, double click the picture of the nokia E71 and then double click the memory card and access it that way. Hope this helps as it's a pain installing everything on the phone.
Just another quick tip if you download the themes through your phone like me once installed and after a re-start something may try and install and fail once your phone starts up. It will do this everytime you re-start your phone. To fix the issue you have to browse the memory card with 'view hidden folders' selected in Windows and delete certain sis files from a certain folder. I can't remember off the top of my head but it explains it in another post in this forum. I can't take the credit for it.

Firmware bug w/Intel Mini

Greetings to all.
There is currently a bug in the Mini's firmware that poses as a slight problem for me. I'm sure some people are aware of this, but Apple has yet to present a solution.
Problem:
While booting a Legacy OS, such as Linux (Grub/LILO), or Windows, the EFI firmware's Legacy BIOS (CSM) hangs when a monitor is NOT connected.
This appears to be a glitch in the VGA Rom BIOS that the CSM uses to allow legacy OS's to initialize and use the i950 Graphics Chipset.
This does not appear to be DDC related, as a KVM allows the system to boot a Legacy OS, even though a KVM provides no such signals.
It also isn't OS related. We are talking about EFI/CSM here, not Mac OS X or Linux. It's strictly a firmware issue with the Legacy OS code sitting inside EFI.
Why hasn't Apple fixed this? I'm sure it's a trivial problem- just about every other computer out there (regardless of using EFI or not) can and will boot if no monitor is attached.
There are some of us who would like to run Mini's in server configurations as they are excellent machines that borderline on uber-powerful embedded platforms. I don't think it's out of line to ask that the firmware correctly handle a situation where one might be booting Linux or Windows without a monitor attached.
It is possible to resolve this issue via using a monitor "terminator" to provide a dummy signal that a monitor is attached, but I'm sure the solution is equally as simple on Apple's part (if a monitor isn't detected, continue to boot anyways!).

If you join the Apple Developer Connection (there is a free option), you can submit bugs directly to Apple. That might be a better way to handle this issue.

Another ea4500 firmware bug

today I have over 20 iphones connected to my router yet only two in the house. The MAC address bug seems to have gotten worse with the newest firmware.

And that would explain why I don't see that bug. Thanks. My guest network has been disabled since I updated to 2.1.39.
Previously, with the guest network and 2.1.38, you couldn't access IPv6 sites. But now you can access ipv6 sites on the guest network with 2.1.39. I'm guessing ipv6 is the problem. Because like you said, it shouldn't be that hard to display a list of devices connected with the correct mac addresses.
Edit: I may have spoke too soon. I'm not even sure IPv6 works on guest network with 2.1.39. I may have been connected to a different access point when it was working.

Linksys E2000 firmware bug for v1.0.02 build 4Jul. 9, 2010

I run a website where I help people setup port forwarding in their router.
So I do know how everything works.
I own the e2000 and port forwarding has always worked. I updated the firmware and port forwarding works on the single port forwarding page and on dmz. but the port range forwarding page is no longer working. no rule added to that page will work. but the same rules will work on the single port page.
I want to report this bug in hopes it will get fixed.
Till then does anyone have a download link to an older firmware?
Thanks
Shane

Glad that it worked!
