IOS 4.3.1 (8G4) bug? "Flash is Disabled"

I bet you thought I meant Adobe Flash, huh? Well that a whole other discussion.
I think I found a bug in the firmware, that involved the camera flash. Overall, I really don't think it is significant... more interesting.
Repeatable steps to make the iPhone think that the phone is overheated:
1. Start camera
2. Change to front facing camera by tapping the flip button (top right corner)
3. Take a photo or two of your beautiful mug!
4. Go to photo gallery to look at your beautiful mug
5. Tap the Done button
6. Tap the flip button to go back to the main (back) camera
7. You should now see a warning on the flash control
If you try to take a photo with flash, this warning dialog will appear:
"Flash is Disabled... The iPhone needs to cool down before you can use the flash."
8. Press the Home button
9. tap the camera... problem solved. The flash is now enabled.
This was tested while the phone was at a ambient temperature of 24 degrees Celsius.
Curious to determine if this is just my phone or others.

I just bought a new iPhone 4 from my local Apple store and I'm having the same issue. I'm new to all this so am a bit clueless. I'm hoping it is just a bug as mentioned above, because personally I had only been using the phone for about 5 mins and surely it couldn't have became too hot.
After activating my iPhone in itunes I saw something about downloading an update? I didn't do it though and can't remember exactly what it said (I'm currently away from my person computer), but I'm assuming it was a firmware update... should the newbie (me) do the update?

Recently updated iOS 7.1 additional fix bug and my phone keeps restarting

Yeah that is what I thought, but the passcode used to be alpha numeric and just changed to being 4 didgets and I don;t recall making that change. This is only to approve updates on my iPhone. The other issue is on my mac pro.

Youtube freezes on Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 7), works when Flash is disabled

I have recently upgraded to Internet Explorer 11 and since the upgrade, every time I visit a page on Youtube, the page will freeze for a good amount of time. I have been able to reproduce this on all of the computers in my house. However, this problem disappears when I disable the Adobe Flash add-on in IE11. I did try the new Flash Player 12 beta, but I am still having problems with the website unless Flash is disabled.
Thank you,
--Timothy

It seems to be an interaction between IE11 (Release version) and the latest 11.9..152 version of Adobe flash. Precisely which is the culprit is hard to tell because IE11 is causing a range of problems (see the link I gave above). I am referring to IE11 on W7 64bit.
It affected all the videos I attempted to load. Indeed, generally operation failed when I began to enter some words into the YouTube box. I never got as far as seeing the video. I have stopped using IE11 and am back to IE10 and there are NO problems with 11.9...152. I can't speak for others but returning to IE10 has removed the problem.
I have two W7 pcs and both experienced the same YouTube problem though they are running different hardware (the secondary system has an ATI vga card for example).
If I remember correctly video through other browsers was fine under IE11. I can't remember now if video on other sites (than YouTube) worked under IE11.
My video card is an Nvidia GTX660 and I am using the latest nvidia driver (331.65). Hardware is: 3770K; Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe mobo; 32Gb ram; x4 SSDs, one used for programs and OS, two for data and one for a Photoshop Scratch Disk; GTX660 vga card, various other hardware including an 860W psu.
I didn't try disabling hardware acceleration.
You can harvest quite a lot of info from the threads in the MS site I posted in my first post.
I have never had any trouble with Flash before.

IOS 5.0.1 wireless Bug - DHCP

We discovered an interesting issue yesterday on our network, and upon much searching, I didn't see anyone else with the same conclusion.
Allow me to start by describing the issue. It's happened on a few occassions in our network over the past several months (we recently started allowing Apple iOS devices on our network as Exchange Activesync clients), but I was finally able to narrow it down today.
Issue: Certain iOS devices when connected to the wireless network retain their DHCP Lease from their home network in the background, while connecting to the business network with a like subnet. The IP Address that the iOS device is retaining from home is NOT in the DHCP scope of the business network, but conflicts with a static assigned IP Address on one of the corporate network services (i.e. Print Server, Email Server, File Server, Database Server) in the like subnet. For example "User A" running an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.0.1 has an Airport Extreme at home that assigns DHCP Addresses in the 10.0.0.x scope. The Corporate DHCP Scope is 10.0.4.x-10.0.5.x with similar subnet. "User A" connects to corporate network via wi-fi and is assigned an IP address of 10.0.4.x (but in the background the device is reserving 10.0.0.x from home Airport Extreme.) Address 10.0.0.x belongs to back-end email server, and whenever "User A" turns their device on, it disrupts the network connectivity for the rest of the corporate network to the email server. "User A" turns off wi-fi on iPhone, and normal corporate network operations resume. In the past, the issue has conflicted with a less major server, or another windows client, and so a resolution was able to be acquired by renewing the IP Address on the Windows client computer.
The issue presents it self as one of our Windows Server machines complaining about an IP Address Conflict on the network. Upon examining the Windows Event Viewer in the System Log, we discover an error message from the "Tcpip" service "The system detected an address conflict for IP address 10.0.0.X with the system having network hardware address 60:C5:47:XX:XX:XX. Network operations on this system may be disrupted as a result." Upon examining the mac address beginning with 60:C5:47 we discover this particular MAC Address range belongs to Apple Inc. (LINK) This led us to search the building for the offending iOS device on which we were able to verify the Wireless MAC address.
In a similar forum post by a user in 2009, the suggestion was that the issue lay with the Windows computer. Well, in that particular case, it was a Home PC, and the user was able to 'work-around' the bug by renewing their DHCP lease on their other client that was reporting the issue. In our case, since the conflict occurs with a Network Server with a staticly assigned IP and services / certificates assigned to that interface, it's not as easy as renewing the IP address to allow the Windows computer to 'fix' the issue. I believe the issue lies in the iOS wireless driver, and needs to be addressed by Apple Development team. I'm not sure the best way to accomplish this, so I figured I'd start in the support forum. Since there wasn't a forum for iOS, I placed the issue under iPhone for Enterprise, though this issue is reproducable with iPad and iPod Touch also.
Here's a detailed post by Princeton University where they describe the issue in great detail. http://www.net.princeton.edu/apple-ios/ios41-allows-lease-to-expire-keeps-using- IP-address.html#chronology How can we get greater urgency to get this bug fixed?
I'd appreciate response / suggestions / input / feedback.
Thanks!

This is nothing a feature like DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection couldn't resolve. Why on earth would this be affecting the rest of your network? If everything is properly segmented, it shouldnt matter if that thing boots up with your e-mail servers IP address. If it is, you are using a big *** network like a /16 and simply dishing out certain ranges to certain functions rather than using proper subnetting. I really hope this is not the case as thats a big mistake.
If you have everything setup properly, I cannot see that device as affecting anything at all; if it came up with that IP on your wireless subnet, no devices in other subnets should ever be trying to talk to that thing since that IP range is supposed to be reachable elsewhere, like your server subnet, not the wireless subnet. Your other networks will always be forwarding traffic for your server to your server subnet, never to the wireless subnet.
If you are at all confused about what I am saying, let me ask you this. What is the default gateway for your Wireless devices and what is the default gateway for your Servers? If that answer is the same, there lies your problem. Hire a network engineer to clean up that mess. If it is not the same, then something like proxy ARP must be turned on since that incorrect IP should not affect anything other than itself with proper layer 3 boundaries.
If that is not an option, you should be able to use a combination of DHCP Snooping,IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection to nip this problem in the butt if your running Cisco gear (if other gear, cross reference, I'm sure the feature exists with another name). The only way for it to cause havok is if the offending device is producing an ARP reply for your servers IP. If running Dynamic ARP Inspection, it should see the offender responding with an ARP for your servers IP which doesnt match what the DHCP snooping database has in it, and it will drop that ARP reply. If by chance that offending device did try to transmit as your servers IP, IP Source Guard's dynamic PACL should have dropped that traffic since its source IP does not match what is in the DHCP Snooping database.
I am not doubting that a bug exists here, however a robust network infrastructure would not be affected by what you describe. Those switch features were designed to halt malicious actions, whether performed intentionally or accidentally via a bug. A network engineer worth his/her salt would have implemented that in their design.

IPhone 4 email update continuously shows 'Updated 1/25/2012 6:45AM" after iOS 5.1 install. Bug or Feature?

Software bug in 5.1? Symptomatic of other issue?

I have been getting a similar crash since upgrading to iOS 5.1 - usually related to double-clicking the home button to bring up the running tasks bar. Whereas my iPhone almost never crashed before, it is pretty regular now. THe crash log indicates that the Springboard process is responsible. I have filled out a bug report on the Apple web site twice, but nohing yet. Hopefully this will be fixed with the next update.

After instaling the ios 8.2 my camera and flash light stoped to work. I have a iphone 5c.

iPhone 5c

camera and flash light stoped to work

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

BUG: Flash hardware acceleration is not enabled when software rendering is enabled in the browser

Confirmed in IE9 and Firefox, this appears to have started in Beta 4, and would explain why suddenly the Green line bugs i reported earlier were resolved.
Flash acceleration should NOT be linked to the browsers back end compositor acceleration.

same problem here, but with liva-intel-driver. see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33936

Problem with iOS 7 - picture/video iMessages bug?

I've been trying to send this in as feedback but it hasn't been going through. So I'll post it here. Maybe someone has an answer, or maybe it's a bug that Apple needs to look at.
I think these are bugs. First of all, I love that we can now send up to 20 items that include both video and pictures.
1) When sending images or videos via iMessage, it doesn't always work. It may work after I quit the photos and messages app a few times and then try to send, but if I send some and try to send some more right after (straight from the photos app), they don't go through. I get the message window open and I choose the recipient and I hit send, but nothing happens after that. The only way I've been able to get around it is to select the items and copy and paste them directly into the messages app. Please fix this, it would make things much more efficient.
2) when there are multimedia messages, the messages app does not archive them in the conversation. Meaning, when you scroll up in a conversation, it continues to scroll up and the app loads every single message at once rather than giving you the option to pull down to load more. I've noticed that is still there when the messages are all text. But when there are pictures/videos involved, they don't get archived and this severely impacts loading time when opening up the messages. Sometimes they won't open at all and freeze because of all the memory it requires just to load everything. It happens on my end as well as with the person on the other end of the conversation - both of us are on iOS 7. I'm on an iPhone 4S and they have an iPhone 5. This has been happening since the upgrade to iOS 7.
These are pretty big bugs and should be addressed ASAP. Thanks.

I have had numerous problems with sending media in messages either from messages or from photos app as well.
In general it seems this new os version was kind of rushed and is still very buggy throughout. the 7.1 update should rectify the most common issues (i hope), but definitely try the feedback page again.

IOS 7.1.1 Wifi Bug ?

Hello, I made an update to version 7.1.1 and after that i can connect to wifi only at a few cm from router if i get more distance betwen iPad and router i get message " Unable to connect to.. ".

Bug: Flash play freezes on Windows Server = 2008R2

Description:
Adobe Flash player version 11.3.300.268 11.3.300.265 caused FireFox x86 on Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 to freeze with complete repro. It's a edge case for WIndows Servers to run Firefox and flash but I want to raise this issue to have it fixed in the next version.
Repro steps:
1. Install Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 (Microsoft Internal RTM version build 9200 available to Microsoft employees only)
2. Install Firefox x86 14.0.1
3. Install flash player 11.3.300.268 OR 11.3.300.265.
4. Lauch firefox and browse to http://www.flash.com/
5. Observe Firefox not responsive
6. Workaround is terminating Firefox by running "Stop-Process -Name Firefox" at Powershell v2
7. Expect Flash not to freeze firefox.
8. Temporary Solution: Install Flash Player 11.2.202.235 release or debug version.
9. Temporary Solution 2: Install flash 11.3.300.268 OR 11.3.300.265 on Internet Explorer.
Adobe flash support engineers, please investigate into the problem.

I installed http://labsdownload.adobe.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11-4/flashplayer11 -4_p2_install_win_pi_080712.exe on Windows Server 2008 R2 (remember it's R2, not just 2008). I launched firefox 14 (32 bit image) and the plugin worked with www.flash.com without problems (plugin as a process in 32 bit image). Do you still need me to file a bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com/ ?

Major bug Flash "OnPress" !

Repeatedly tapping on a buttons will result in the buttons staying in a "onPress" state repeatedly executing the onpress function!
This is extremely repeatable on a touch screen monitor! and can be duplicated with a mouse.
I am not sure if it’s a "draggout"/"onpress" issue or if Flash is missing the message from windows that a release has taken place.
This issue will happen no matter how you create the onpress function, you can create a button object, add action to a movie clip doesn’t matter, at some point the object will get stuck in a onpress state, meaning if you have a onpress action it will continue to fire off even thou windows has clearly told flash there has been a onrelease or ondraggout.
I have tested this on 4 touchscreens and 2 monitors with mouse and/or touch screen.
Is there any way around this bug?

Ok it has been a week of testing and these are the results:
I wrote a C++ mouse detection of a mouse left click.
When the button sticks in Flash windows IS receiving the LEFT click event...
SO two things can be happening here:
1. Issue with Magic touch (Keytec) software/hardware
2. Message traffic/buffer error
I would recommend that if you have an application that requires dependable touch screen response to use a Capacitive touch screen.
All the big companies do!
I still cannot determine yet if Flash is causing a buffer/message error to the windows mouse handler and if this is even possible.... so I would say currently it is a %90 touch screen issue.
Resistive
A resistive touch screen panel is composed of several layers, the most important of which are two thin, metallic, electrically conductive layers separated by a narrow gap. When an object, such as a finger, presses down on a point on the panel's outer surface the two metallic layers become connected at that point: the panel then behaves as a pair of voltage dividers with connected outputs. This causes a change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing.
Capacitive
A capacitive touch screen panel is a sensor typically made of glass coated with a material such as indium tin oxide.[2][3] This type of sensor is basically a capacitor in which the plates are the overlapping areas between the horizontal and vertical axes in a grid pattern. Since the human body also conducts electricity, a touch on the surface of the sensor will affect the electric field and create a measurable change in the capacitance of the device. These sensors work on proximity, and do not have to be directly touched to be triggered. It is a durable technology that is used in a wide range of applications including point-of-sale systems, industrial controls, and public information kiosks. It has a higher clarity than Resistive technology, but it only responds to finger contact and will not work with a gloved hand or pen stylus unless the stylus is conductive. Capacitive touch screens can also support Multitouch. Examples include Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPod touch, HTC's G1 & HTC Magic , Palm Inc.'s Palm Pre and Palm Eos and more recently the LG KM900 Arena, Microsoft's Zune HD, Sony Walkman X series and Sony Ericsson's Aino.

IPhone 4S and iOS 7.1.1 Storage Bug?

Since taking the 7.1.1 update on my 32 gig iPhone 4S I have been getting out of storage warnings on a daily basis. If I go to Settings > General > Usage and check my storage space when this happens it will say 0 gigs available. If I then power cycle the iPhone it will then say 20 gigs available (I backed it up and deleted a bunch of stuff when it first started happening), but then through the course of the day without downloading anything the space will slowly decrease back down to 0 until I power cycle it once again. Anyone else seeing behaivor like this or know how to fix it?

Yes, echo-101, I'm experiencing the very same issue, albeit on two iPads. This issue appears to be under substantive discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6157715?start=30&tstart=0
I've updated to 7.1.1 on iPhone and on the two iPads. All working perfectly fine unti then, although it may well be a coincidence. The iPhone is working normally with none of these symptoms, but both iPads (iPad mini and iPad 2) are affected in the same way.
I have experienced the same symptoms as you, namely the available storage will gradually diminish over an approximate 72 hour period to zero KBs available. I have verified that this is not an erroneous warning or reading, in that trying to download an app will fail, as there is not sufficient storage.
That is not to say, of course, that the device should be stating that there is no, or limited, storage available. I am using the devices normally and the total storage used is never more than 5 or 6 GBs. It is totally wrong for it to record that more storage has been used.
I too have found that switching the device on and off again resets the storage reafings, but as you too have experienced the problem then swiftly returns. I have tried restoring the device, both from my iTunes and iCloud backups, and as a new iPad for the reason that the problem could have been with corrupted data in my backup, but the problem swiftly returns.
I took the iPad mini to my local Genius Bar and they were not able to resolve it. They put me on to Apple Support who have been helpful but have not been able to identify the problem. Having spent an inordinate amount of time on it - quite beyond what a consumer should have to do, frankly - I returned the iPad mini to the retailer under extended warranty. I am however very sceptical of this being a hardware failure, for instance some issue with the local flash storage, because of the unlikeliness of that, the fact that others including you are sadly experiencing the same issue, and also because there is a similar problem with my iPad 2.
It would be great if we could all identify this as a flaw or bug in 7.1.1. I can make do with power cycling my devices until it is fixed, but I think we all need Apple to acknowledge and then deal with this as appropriate. If it is not an issue with 7.1.1, then I am running out of ideas.
Best of luck with your issue; if I hear more, and when I get my device replaced or returned, I will post.
