Generation T_40, issues rundown

Mojn!
I have created this thread in order to shed light/Focus on all the issues in the newest generation of ThinkPads (T440 and on).
Lenovo has behaved as a low-tier manufacturer in this whole case, by not acknowledging the issues and taking action.
Lets sum up:
1. "Power supply issues" (Experienced first hand on T440, T540p, W540, with 135W PSU's):
Symptoms includes the pc activating Air plane mode with a message "A problem was detected with the power supply"
Temporary workarround includes using either a larger or smaller PSU
Permanent fix includes replacing the power connector within the pc (fru:04X5515 For T540p/W540).
(It took us a month to get a technician to replace that part - because the issue is not acknowledged by Lenovo.)
2. Dock connection, interrupted, screen flicker. (Experienced first hand on T440, T540p, W540, with 135W PSU's):
Symptoms include USB peripherals disconnecting, screen flickering for some seconds.
Presumably caused by defective firmware in the dock.
Temporary workarround includes usind a larger (170W) or smaller (90W) PSU for the dock
Most issues here fixed by firmware update: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=HT081248
3. Occasional screen flicker when docked (Experienced first hand on T540p)
Symptoms includes the screen flickering off for a second.
A workaround includes setting "Advanced" GPU as default in BIOS - though i havn't confirmed this, as i do not know how to reproduce the error.
One thing i need, is a way to provoke the symptoms - Any ideas?
Thanks

Recently had a visit from a certified service partner.
They added - off the record - that mainboard replacement was the only working solution at the moment.
I will implement a company wide disabling of Automatic AitPlane mode - which is a symptom causing most of our troubles.

It's treatment of symptoms, but it's something..

Ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second

ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second page of icons, black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

I had this problem as well. This is what I found by searching online. I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked. I hope this helps you. Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings. Good luck.
It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings.
Double-tap to open Settings.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap.
Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on."
You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

Fact Sheet generation - CL_CRM_GENIL_CONTAINER_OBJECT issue

Hi Guys,
We are utilizing functionality of an Activity Management to schedule appointments using Activity Scheduling and Standalone appointment creation as well. We did use automatic Fact Sheet attachments to the appointments.
We introduced an ad hoc generation of PDF Fact sheet attachments into the appointments. We are testing our custom solution but we experienced one issue caused by SAP standard code.
Let me summarize our settings first
1.We turn off automatic FS generation in IMG CRM->Transactions->Settings for activities->Attach Fact Sheet to activities
(Role)G:ZZ:CRM1:SLS_USER; (Trans.Type)Z100; (Short Descriptio)Visit; (Language)EN; (AttchAutom)blank; (AttachMan) flag
2.We do use custom smartform ZCRM_FACTSHEET that is a copy of CRM_ACC_ACCOUNT_OVERVIEW_PRN
3. We created new class ZCL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT as a copy of CL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT
4. in View CRMV_PRN_CONTROL we have maintained following entries (Role)G:ZZ:CRM1:SLS_USER; (External Object Name)BuilHeader; (Form name) ZCRM_FACTSHEET; (Class/Interface)ZCL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT; (View) blank
5. in cluster CRMVC_BUIL_PRT we have maintaned following Related objects ro (Role)G:ZZ:CRM1:SLS_USER and (Ext. Object Name) BuilHeader
(External Object Name)BuilActivity-(Field name)ACTIVITIES; BuilAddress - ADDRESS_OVERVIEW; BuilContactPerson - CONTACTS; BuilInteractionHistory - HISTORY; BuilRelationship - RELATION_TYPES; BuilSalesArrangement - SALES_AREAS
Our custom program ZFCRM_CREATE_FACT_SHEET is basically selecting relevant appointments; Reading information about main partner using FM CRM_PARTNER_READ_OW and calling FM CRM_UIU_BP_PRINT_BACKGROUND. All export parameter are properly filled in.
This FM is basically calling our Z class ZCL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT based on above customizing. For simplification reasons imagine that ZCL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT is exact copy of standard SAP class CL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT where CL_UIU_PRN_ACCOUNT is its superclass
The issue is with the method COLLECT_DATA and section of the code
lr_collection = lr_buil_entity->get_related_entities(
iv_relation_name = <ls_model>-relation_name ).
that returns data for internal tables lt_activities(open activities) and lt_history(closed activities). If we have scenario when we have 3 open and 8 closed activities:
a. When I generate the Fact Sheet from an Account directly in Web UI CL_CRM_BOL_CORE->get_related_entities is returning 3 records for lt_activities(open activities) and 8 lt_history(closed activities).
b. When I called it from our Z program the CL_CRM_BOL_CORE->get_related_entities is returning 11 records for lt_activities(open activities) and 11 lt_history(closed activities). It means mixed bag. And this is the issue.
I did analyze the standard SAP code and the section containing below
code is responsible for the mismatch
try to read children
if IV_RELATION_NAME is initial.
if IV_OWNED_ONLY = ABAP_TRUE.
LV_OBJ_LIST = IV_ENTITY->CONTAINER_PROXY-
>IF_GENIL_CONTAINER_OBJECT~GET_OWNED_CHILDREN( IV_AS_COPY = TRUE ).
else.
LV_OBJ_LIST = IV_ENTITY->CONTAINER_PROXY-
>IF_GENIL_CONTAINER_OBJECT~GET_CHILDREN( IV_AS_COPY = TRUE ).
endif.
elseif LV_MODE ne CL_CRM_BOL_ENTITY=>BYPASSING_BUFFER.
get relation state
>>this code>> LV_OBJ_LIST = IV_ENTITY->CONTAINER_PROXY-
>IF_GENIL_CONTAINER_OBJECT~GET_RELATION( IV_RELATION_NAME =
IV_RELATION_NAME
IV_AS_COPY = TRUE ).
read table IV_ENTITY->MY_MANAGER_ENTRY->RELATIONS with table key
RELATION_NAME = IV_RELATION_NAME
assigning
<REL_STATE>.
endif.
CL_CRM_GENIL_CONTAINER_OBJLISTCP->CONSTRUCTOR
data: LS_RELATION type GTYPE_RELATION,
LV_PARENT type ref to CL_CRM_GENIL_CONTAINER_OBJECT,
LV_ENTRY type ref to IF_GENIL_CONTAINER_OBJECT,
LV_CHILD_PROXY type ref to CL_CRM_GENIL_CONTAINER_OBJECT.
field-symbols: <REL> type CRMT_GENIL_CONT_RELAT
>>this code>> read table IV_PARENT_DATA_REF->RELATIONS assigning <REL> with table key RELATION_NAME = IS_FILTER-RELATION_NAME.
Table IV_PARENT_DATA_REF->RELATIONS is not filled for scenario b. at all. It is filled for scenario a. For our scenario b. it is missing relationships and that's the reason why we got mixed activities in BuilActivityRel and BuilHistoryRel..
Did you come across similar bug or do you know which note could potentially resolve this issue?
Thank you in advance.
-Milan

You might have to put breakpoint in function module CRM_UIU_BP_PRINT_BACKGROUND
Check the values in parameter - IT_BOL_RELATION
Also check values returned from querying table crmc_prn_contr2 (its at line 76 in our system).
Thanks,

IPod Touch 1G (1st Generation) Battery Issue

Hello. I realize there has been a ton of conversation about battery life on the Touch - so much so that it makes it difficult to search through in the Forum. So here is my battery problem. Recently, I updated to the latest 3.1.3 firmware on my wife's iPod Touch. The other day I noticed that the iPod's battery only lasted about 4 or 5 hours and all we were doing was listening to music (through the headphone port). It had a full charge when we started and we just queued up a large playlist (NOT Pandora or anything streaming) and let it play. We did, however, have wifi on. Originally, I thought it was the battery going bad and started to look into replacement. First though, I ran some tests. Here they are in chronological order:
1. - Fully charged iPod, all apps installed, and wifi OFF. I played videos from the iPod for 5.5 hours straight (with auto dimming turned on). Pretty impressive. Must not be a bad battery.
2. - Fully charged iPod, deleted all non-Apple apps, and wifi ON. There were 2 email accounts and a Google calendar account set to fetch, but push was turned on in the main settings. After leaving sit (in sleep mode) for 2 hours, the battery was at 97%. Still pretty good.
3. - Fully charged iPod, wifi ON, with the following apps installed - Remote, Pandora, Facebook, Mobile Air Mouse Pro, Last.fm, Paper Toss (free version), Evernote, Google (apps), and Accura Precision Battery Monitoring. These are probably my most essential apps and most (if not all) are from large companies with a wide user base (assumed more reliable). I left it sit over night (in sleep mode) for 10 hours and had 60% battery life left in the morning. Something is draining the battery here.
So, it appears to have something to do with wifi and/or my apps. My understanding is that the iPod Touch is supposed to power down wifi while in sleep mode. Is this correct? Could it be a bug with the new firmware? I feel like this is a recent phenomenon with the iPod (don't remember ever having such poor battery life). I would just turn wifi off when not in use, but to me that seems like an unnecessary hassle. I mean, isn't wifi one of the main points of having an iPod Touch? Is anyone else having this issue with the latest firmware and similar apps installed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I got my 32 gb 1st gen ipod touch in 2007. It has been used non stop since then, in january 2010 I started to notice that the battery was not lasting as it should (19 hours). in 2008 the battery still lasted for 29 hours of non tsop music (no wifi of course).
I got the battery replaced and the battery is behaving as it should (29 hours of non stop music playback).
as the other poster commented. if you use wifi continuously, this will die quicker. The same with games, since the hardware in the 1st gen is not as efficient as in the later generations.
i would say first disable wifi and test just continuous music playback and see if you get the advertised 22 hours of battery life. if you do nto get that then it is time for a new battery...

Ipod Touch 5th generation sync issues over storage

Hi
I have a 64GB ipod touch 5th generation ipod touch. It (and itunes) has the latest software.
The issue is that I am trying to sync my music (I have bought new songs and changed playlists) and itunes states there isnt enough space on ipod touch. However, my music collection, and the ipod own storage suggests that the music only takes 50% of the available storage.
I am the point of jacking in the ipod touch now as this is a regular occurrence.
Any help on overcoming this is appreciated.
Lee

- First verify you have the right items checked to syn so that you are not syncing more than you think
- Next
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Mac Book Pro First Generation Sleep issue

I have a macbook pro first generation with the 1.8Ghz dual core (I added 1 GB ram for a total of 1.5GB). After updating it to OSX 10.4.8, the computer is having sleep issue. If I try to put it to sleep using the sleep command, it will go to sleep, but then it will make the clicking noises around the dvd player slot area, and within a minute or two the computer will wake itself up.
This happens if I use the power adapter to run it, or if I use the battery to power it. In essence the computer is unable to be put to sleep using the sleep command from the menu. I can close the lid, and the display would turned itself off, but the clicking noises from the dvd slot area is still happening, so I am not sure if is is asleep. The only time that it will go to "deep sleep" mode if I leave it until the energy safe command kicks in and put it to sleep.
I don't have problem getting the computer "awaken" from its sleep state. Though it does have that "blank" blue screen a mere seconds before it reverts to the desktop, which a lot of people have reported in their posting. Is this a software problem? or is it a hardware issues?
The laptop is no longer does have its "super hot" issue. Now it is merely warmish hot but not unlike the "super hot" it was before. Cocoa application such as Adobe CS and Microsoft Office are not as fast or snappish as the native application, the speed is comparable to 1Ghz G4 processor. I suppose it is the pitfall or running an emulator?
Does anyone else also experiencing the sleep issue problem? not able to put the laptop to a sleep mode?

Hi!
Yep, the trick with the PMU reset (5 second thinggy) could help. Also, try to reset your PRAM...reboot and hold down Apple-Option-P-R until it restarts again. Release the buttons and there you go...PRAM resetted. However, your date/time setting will be set back to a very early date.
For me, I had the same trouble and I found out that it came from the Migration Assistant which I used to move from my TiBookG4 to my new MBPRo. After transferring all data to the MBP, performance was down and sleep was merely impossible. Reformatting it and reinstalling it was my cure (although this might not be a solution for you).
The question here is : did you move an PowerPC apps via copy or migration assistant to your MBP? If not, do you have a virus checker installed that wants to download something in the background?
Also, check for the "wake for administrator on network" option in the Energy Saver control panel...HTH

IPod nano 7th generation battery issues

I am only getting 2.5 hours of playback after a full charge to my nano. My older iPod (5th generation) would last for days before it would need a charge. Is this an issue that others have experienced or is this an isolated issue with a defective battery in my unit?

Touch 4th generation charging issue

when the battery is completely drained, we are getting the plug into itunes graphic on the screen and it won't recharge using a wall charger. then when you plug it into a computer with itunes to recharge, it says this ipod is in restore mode and the ipod has to be restored to factory settings before it will recharge. we've used a ipod touch 2nd generation on the same computer with no issue and it charged fine from wall charger?

Not Charge
- See:

- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod nano 6th generation sync issue

I have a 6th generation IPOD nano and I tried syncing it with ITunes but received an error saying that the music on the IPOD was associated with another computer. Unfortunately, this is our old computer that has long since passed away. How can I keep all of the CDs that I downloaded on my old computer on my IPOD and transfer them over to the new computer?

I can pretty much guarantee that Apple would like to know about your experience, as this is at least a potential safety thing. Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iPod in to an Apple retail store for evaluation.
Best of luck.

Airport express 1st generation compatibility issues

is airport express gen 1 compartible with which Mac OS?

Your tag line mentioned the you were using the Mavericks operating system.
Please look at the side of your AirPort Express device to locate the model number. A 1st Gen AirPort Express is model number A1264, and it is compatible with Mavericks and just about any other Mac operating system as well.
If you see A1084 or A1088, this is not a 1st Gen version of the AirPort Expess. It is a much older wireless "b/g" version. Mavericks will not support this older version of the Express.
Apple began the "Generation" naming with the A1264 "n" version of the Express.

IPod nano 7th generation sensor issue

I just got an iPod nano 7th generation. I'm trying to figure out the nike fitness section. It keeps telling me "not linked to sensor" when I try to set up a run. I was under the impression that I wouldn't have to buy a separate sensor. Is this true? Can someone help me figure out what to do? Thanks!

You need to disable the nike + sensor in Nike app in your ipod. When disabled you will be able to do run/walk workout using the built-in pedometer. Cheers!

Time stream generation report issue - ZZTSTRREGENERATE

Hi,
As per note 1421812 - Report to automatically generate all time streams, we have generated report ZZTSTRREGENERATE for auto generation of time streams.
But when the report is executed time streams are not getting generated. Rather we get the message ' Timestream (XXXX) not generated for year 2016, Timestream (XXXX) not generated for year 2017'.
I have checked the associated calendar in the Time stream ID and it has validity till 2020. Not sure why this is happening.
Has someone faced this ? Any pointers will be of help.
Thanks in advance.
