HP ENVY CONTROL ZONE HELP!!

This thread is another try to see if HP wants to help us after many of us unsuccesfully tried to get help posting on this other hp thread And HP just ignored us... http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/hp-control-zone-trackpad-incredibly-glitchy/td-p/4073164 The track pad is really bad and glitchy..the cursor jumps around and it becomes unusable. Some users have sent their laptops for repair with the HP warranty and after receiving it back problems with the trackpad arise again. Whether it is a hardware or software issue theres no reason why we, the users who paid over $600 dollars for a product, shouls be struggling with something as basic as a touchpad...HP, we need answers...

But where have you or anyone else posted that you did do that?Show me where you stated that you disabled those features, thought it wasfixed and then came to find that it wasn't fixed. And by the way; watching someone else's discomfort should not ever be "hillarious". You seem to be talking about a different issue than what most of us are talking about. You were having problems with "Sensitivity" of the touchpad, which can be controlled in the touchpad settings. Most touchpads have a setting called "PalmCheck" or something similar.   The problem the rest of us are experiencing happens when we use the touchpad to control the mouse. The touchpad becomes very glitchy, not within our control  and eventually the mouse starts moving across the screen without our hands even touching the touchpad. We have tried, disabling all the features you mentioned above, that does not solve this problem.

  • Hp control zone trackpad incredibly glitchy

    Hi. I recently bough an HP Envy m6-n012dx laptop. Not long after using it the Control Zone Trackpad began to be incredibly glitchy. Everytime i would move the mouse, it would jump randomly across the screen. The left side of the track pad that is supposed to allow you to switch between your open apps sometimes stops working then starts to work again then would stop working for no reason. Same with the right side that shows the start button, search button, settings button etc. To make things worse; sometimes the mouse would begin to move slowly across the screen without me even touching the track pad. I try downloading the most recent synaptics driver and afterwards the trackpad worked for a little while, then went haywire again. Not only is the trackpad messed up but sometimes my touch screen doesnt work. For instance, my touch screen currently isnt working as im typing this. What do i have to do to solve the problem, because i really like this laptop when everything is working fine 

    Attention, HP Support Agents. I have the same model HP Envy m6-n012dx laptop that I purchased less than 2 weeks ago from Best Buy and I'm experiencing the same issues. I've performed a hard reset of the laptop, a system restore to the day I purchased it, updated synaptics drivers, uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, BIOS update, changed sensitivity settings on touchpad - but it all leads to the same result. The cursor jumps around and behaves erratically on the screen, even if you reboot it and start using it again, after about 15-20 minutes (or sooner) it starts acting up again.  What is the solution or verdict on this issue, as it's easy to see that there are literally hundreds of consumers that have purchased HP Envy laptops with a Control Zone touchpad from Synaptics having this exact same issue? Is there a way that someone at HP can grab one of their laptops, recreate the issue, troubleshoot and provide a solution for it?? I'm sure I echo the same sentiment as most of these other forum subscribers when I say that I feel like I'm wasting my time here. I'm asking for help and either getting an auto-response "update your drivers" answer, or not receiving help at all. I'm NOT purchasing a mouse as an alternative solution. Either there's a fix for this, or I'll return my laptop to Best Buy, as I'm still within their 15-day return policy window, and purchase an ASUS or DELL Laptop instead. I've never experienced such a huge annoyance with an HP product as this and from what I've seen on all of my forum searches, HP has no solution for it. I've also spoken with HP Total Care, and guess what their solution was? Take it back to Best Buy and get a replacement HP Envy .... seriously?  Please provide an update as soon as possible. This has gone on long enough.  

  • Erratic HP Control Zone Behaviour

    I Recently purchased the laptop about 3 Weeks ago, and I began to notice the Synaptic HP Control Zone mouse would behave erraticly after some time. A reset of the device driver seems to fix it but the problem returns again when some time passes.
    Everything seems to be upto date and the Control zone works with multitouch and normal use but this unsual and erratic behaviour that occurs quite often has become quite irritating. I've resorted to disabling the Control Zone and I am currently using an external wireless mice I purchased with the laptop.
    Driver:
    HP Control Zone - V18.1.7.8
    A video of the issue
    http://youtu.be/a8iXk0Wyjv0
    Any help would be greatly Appreciated

    I recently bought an HP Envy as well and I have multitutde of problems with the Control Zone.  The only solution is whenever it happens I have to use the touchscreen to get to "HP Control Zone Settings" and do a "Reset Devices".
    Has anyone found a permanent fix for this?

  • HP Control Zone and Windows 10

    I have the exact same issue with the trackpad. Laptop: HP Envy TS15 - q006tx Now that my laptop is oerating on Windows 10, is there anyway to reassign the old swipe functionalities of the control zone? Back in Windows  8.1, swiping the left side of the trackpad used to swap between apps and swiping on the right used to bring up charms. These features are now obsolete, so really I hope that I can replace them with something else, or at least in a future driver patch if not today. 

    Two issues I am having with the Windows 10 upgrade: First, I use a wireless mouse, since my computer is primarily for graduate school and typing papers. I have the setting via the Control Zone to turn OFF the touchpad when an external pointing device is in use. This setting will NOT stay. I have to re-open the control panel, navigate to the device options, and turn this on EVERY time I start my computer. Is there  a patch to fix this? Or is there a registry item I can change to force this setting to remain on? I never want the touchpad operational if I am using  a USB mouse (or any USB or external pointing device). I cannot find this answer on any search. Second is the NumLock. I had changed the registry item to force NumLock to be "On" on boot. I cannot get the computer to boot with NumLock on with Windows 10. This is incredibly important for my startup process. Thank you in advance for any advice/solutions!

    You are posting in the "icloud on my mac" forum, but your profile mentions Windows.  If using a mac, you need to have iphoto or aperture installed in order to receive new photos via photo stream.  If using windows, try posting in the iCloud on a PC forum.  You'll get better help there.

  • HP envy 15 Control Zone Trackpad failure

    I purchased an HP envy 15 q178ca. After using it for a few hours the track pad started giving problems. However, after resetting the trackpad everything works fine.

  • Bootcamp - Catalyst Control Center - help me!

    Hello, I've tried to install catalyst control center for windows 7 bootcamp, I can't seem to find the download for the actual program, I only find the drivers for it, I did find the program once, and installed it, but then I only had 2 different tabs in there, and there should be atleast 7+ with alot of options. I had close to none, in my install of the program, so I uninstalled the whole thing and now I can't seem to find it again.
    I've installed the latest driver for the program now, but I cannot find the program...
    And ofcourse I want to find out why I only had 2 tabs in there, when I should have had 7+

  • Bounded-Task-Flow Page Fragment Control Flow Help

    jDeveloper: 11.1.1.0.2
    I am having an issue trying to figure out the correct way to use control flow cases between a bounded-task-flow with page fragments and an unbounded-task-flow page. We have taken the approach in our application to have a few shell / container pages to host bounded-task-flows made up of page fragments to facilitate re-usability and to speed up development. There are 4 or 5 shell pages on the applications unbounded-task-flow. As of now, we have about 20 page fragments that are implemented as bounded-task-flows. These fragments don't do much now, meaning there is only a single fragment in each bounded-task-flow. The issue I am having is trying to invoke a control flow navigation action from one of the fragments to load a different shell page.
    For Example, shellPage1.jspx contains fragment-flow-1 as a region. In my adfc-config.xml I have shellPage1.jspx and shellPage2.jspx, with control flow cases "toShell1" and "toShell2" respectively connecting the two pages. I have a link's action bound to the "toShell2" within the fragment that makes up fragment-flow-1. When the application is run, shellPage1.jspx and its fragment are displayed. But clicking on the link in the fragment ("toShell2") does absolutely nothing. It does not navigate me to the shellPage2.jspx as expected. What am I doing wrong here or do not understand?
    If the fragment is included as a JSP include, and not a bounded task flow include, everything works as expected. This is not desirable as we then need to copy the fragment's pageDef into the shellPage's pageDef to get the DataControls to function.
    If the faces-config.xml is used instead, and a JSF navigation case is used, it will also work as expected. This is not desirable because we really don't want to be mixing adcf-config and faces-config.
    So I am really stumped here.... Thanks in advance!

    Hi there:
    In your case, the adfc-config.xml has the control flow case between shell pages. And the task-flow-N.xml or your-task-flow.xml for each page fragment by default doesn't inherit control flow case from their containing shell page. In your case, in the page fragment task-flow.xml, you should add a "Parent Action" to flow to shell page2 for example. The outcome of "Parent Action" would be "toShell2" if calling from ShellPage1 page fragment.
    Is this 'Correct' or 'Helpful' for you? Please mark it as so if it does.
    Good luck,
    Alex

  • Control File Help

    Hi,
    Require Help in SQL Loader Control File :
    There is a field (column) called customer line number assuming we are uploading from excel sheet , if that value is null then it should use an sequence to upload in the format of 1,2,3.
    Kindly do help in making change in the control file.
    regards,

    If gaps aren't an issue you can use a sequence with an external table;
    SQL> select col1,
       NVL(col2, new_seq.NEXTVAL) new_col2,
       col3
    from ext_tab
          COL1   NEW_COL2       COL3
           101        201        301
           102          2        302
           103        203        303
           204          4        304In this example COL2 is null in the second and fourth rows. The first and third rows increment the sequence even when it is not used by the NVL function.

  • SQL Loader Control file help!!!

    Hi All,
    I was in the process of writing a control file for sql loader for an activity i am performing and would appreciate inputs from you all.
    I have a table patient containing 44 columns, i have a column 'SEC_LANG_NAME' in which i have to insert data from a excel file.

    Hello user10243788.
    It appears that your intent is to load data into an existing table that contains the key data and is only lacking a column of information. SQL*Loader itself is not built to do this; what it can do is load records to tables. You will have to use a two-step approach similar to what Srini has suggested. 1) If your process is able to be run local to the database server, an external table is a great option. If your process is instead run remote to the database server, SQL*Loader will allow you to load your data file to a table. 2) You will need to run a process to update the PATIENT table.
    Here is a start of a control file based on the details that you've providedLOAD DATA
    REPLACE
    INTO patient_enhance
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
    ( patient_id
    , name  FILLER
    , sec_lang_name)Hope this helps,
    Luke
    Please mark the answer as helpful or answered if it is so. If not, provide additional details.
    Always try to provide create table and insert table statements to help the forum members help you better.

    oops, will have to load patient_id to do the update

  • Time-Zone Help. User Time Zone and SAP Time Zone!

    Hi Experts,
    Guys, I want to know how to check and change time in SAP system. The reason I want to know if when I go to su01 and display my user, under Default tab>> Sys. Time Zone is different. So, I am guessing that I have to change time zone which is causing my CCMS-Alert auto-reaction.
    Thanks,
    I will reward points.

    Hi Prince,
    Cool!! Just wanted to confirm and clear things up.
    1. My OS time is PST and upto date. I have checked by typing date in unix.
    2. As you have mentioned (Txn STZAC). I think STZAC is a T-code in which I can change time zone but what is Txn? Also, when changing time zone, do I have to make client modifiable in se06?
    3. As you have also wrote that I can add (TIME_ZOME) in parameter of Auto-reaction Z_method. Just to confirm, is that how I will add.
    Parameter Name: Time_Zone
    Parameter Value: PST
    on the Parameter value, do I need to add any syntax or characters such as $PST, (pst) etc...
    Thanks for your help!

  • WebApps (Liquid) Secure Zone Help

    Hi BC Team,
    Hoping someone can help me with this... I am developing a Secured Team Portal for a client of mine.  Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to delve deep into Liquid yet, so, sort of looking for some help here : ).  Here is what I want to achieve:
    A customer is assigned to a particular secure zone (via my client, securing the customer to a secure zone that relates to them).  This customer would only see the web app relates to them only.  More than one customer may have access to the same web app item.
    Assuming we assign these web app items to a Secure Zone, is there anyway to achieve this easily with Liquid? If so, any tips and tricks?
    Thanks in advance,
    Aaron

    Hi Aaron,
    Ownership in the system of a web app item is limited to 1 person, you can not add to that, change that in any form.
    You could have a custom field for a list of peoples names and run a liquid check to see if that name was the same as the person logged in (setting this with javascript on the web app item submission) BUT this is open to issues....
    1. If someone made an admin entry and forgot to add or did not put the correct names down.
    2. Liquid has a scope limit of only 500 items. You can run if statements, your own collection etc but it effectively only works within that 500 item scope. This is a major issue for me and I am trying to get even feedback from BC on this but they avoiding it at the moment
