MORE D2G screen issues...

Ok, so I am having quite a few of the same problems listed in the 'screen issue' threads for the Droid 2, and D2G. The phantom finger on the screen, back/home buttons sometimes don't work, unable to scroll a web page without it zooming in, and when in wide screen mode (on side, or keyboard out) I can not slide the notification bar. I attempted to seek help at one of the local stores, but they blamed it on a tiny (almost unnoticeable) scratch which has been there for a very long time. This problem started last week with no damage occurring to it, and no new apps installed in several weeks. I've ran it in safe mode, and uninstalled every possible app on my phone as well as updates for the ones I couldn't. I have done everything that I know to do so far aside from a hard restart, but it doesn't seem like that would help considering that the issues still occur even when in safe mode. Is there another solution that I have yet to explore, or is my phone completely screwed?

I am having this same issue. My phone loves to hit the same area over and over--attempt to buy full cd's from Google Play and call people in the middle of the night. These are the actions I have already tried---help!
-Hard reset it 3 times
-Taken it to the Verizon Store-- they told me it could be something to do with 3G and not having the 4G
-Uninstalled Facebook (I read somewhere that is where the issue is happening)
-Installed a keyboard (Gingerbread Keyboard)-- then uninstalled it when that didn't seem to work
-Clear the Multi-touch keyboard in the manage apps section
-Cleaned the screen
-Taken the battery out and let it sit.
I am 2 months away from an upgrade. I was PROMISED this phone would last me the full 2 years--- HELP

Droid 2 Global screen issues

My Droid 2 Global, which used to be the best phone ever btw, has been a tremendous pain in the rear for the past 6 weeks or so and its just getting worse.
It started with some random touch screen wouldnt work problems. But normally after a battery pull it would be fine for a while. Then that developed into some "hey look what my phone is doing all by itself" problems. That was bad enough. Now the back button on the screen doesnt work and Im getting what seem like dead zones on the screen.
For the most part it seems to work fine but the screen is getting worse and worse. From what I hear everybody with this phone are having screen issues nowadays.
Is there any resolution? Will Verizon replace the phone under the warranty service? Or is Motorola stepping up to take their lumps on this one?
Or is it just easier to wait until my upgrade that is now only a couple of weeks away?

After experiencing the same type of touch screen problems on my D2G that everyone else is complaining about and
searching the internet for I don't know how long to find a remedy, I found a post from Katie H, VZW Support, in response to
JoulesWinfield's post. In it she gave a link to run the phone in safe mode: http://tiny.cc/p6j3iw, which I did.
Well, I thought I had uninstalled all the 3rd party apps, however, I found that Adobe Flash was still there. I uninstalled it, and low and behold, so far, NO MORE PROBLEMS! Fingers crossed! Thanks Katie H!

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] More on ComputedColumn issue

Vladimir--
I'm going to answer this question without doing my full homework on it;
please let me know if I hit the mark or not. If I understand correctly, you
have a problem using a model for both UPDATE and SELECT queries because of a
computed column...correct?
If so, this issue is solved in JATO 1.2. 1.2 has an attribute in the field
descriptor to indicate in which type of queries a field should be used. You
can use this attribute to indicate that a field should only be used for
UPDATE queries, SELECT queries, or whatever combination of query types you
require. You can then define synthetic fields for use only during one of
the query types.
Does this sound useful in fixing your issue? A way around this in JATO 1.1
would be to create separate models for SELECT and UPDATE queries. The
SELECT model could contain all the fields for the joined query, but the
UPDATE model would contain info for only one table. The 1.2 feature simple
allows you to do the same using one model.

Subject: [iPlanet-JATO] More on ComputedColumn issue
We have a similar problem with do's ComputedColumn after the
translation as Kostas described in his detailed message #439.
We have JATO/iMT version 1.1. Is the resolution of this problem added
to the version 1.2 (or 1.2.1)?
I've tried to adjust the ModelImpl class based on the .sdo file
(using ComputedColumn attributes) for these fields and failed.
Whether I missed something else, or our situation is a little bit
different.
In our case the dataObject has one Computed Field from one table and
another Computed Field from another table along with joint between
these two tables and third one, and, finally, the whole stuff is
under the repeatable (with static fields bindings to these two
computed fields).
The modelImpl class after the translation (as in the #439) has the
same values "" and "." for ..._NAME and QUALIFIED_..._NAME strings
respectively (for each computed do's field).
I guess that we could meet extra problem with this (for manual
adjustment) because of there is no TableName attribute in .sdo file
for computed field (as well as there is no ColumnName attribute for
computed field). If ComputedColumn attribute (computed field) could
play a role of ColumnName attribute (regular case), what would be an
analog of TableName attribute for computed field?
The bottom line of this is as follows: we have a same
SQLException "Invalid Column Name"
from ResultSetModelBase.updateModel() as Kostas described. It causes
the problem for
RequestHandlingTiledViewBase.executeAutoRetrieving() method that
can't bind the proper Model.
Finally, beginDisplay() method from
pgXXXXPriorityCountTiledView.class throws exception and
jasper compiler brings run-time error (Tomcat 3.2).
Kostas, if this problem still exists for translation of such cases,
could you please post a fragment that fixed you original problem in
addition to the message #439 (just to be sure, that I haven't missed
something important).
Thank you very much in advance.

Todd,
Sorry for the delay with the answer, I've tried to obtain JATO 1.2
and repeat the project migration to verify whether version 1.2 solves
my problem or not (actually, it is a pilot sub-project).
Unfortunately, I still have no 1.2 version.
Let me try to answer on your question without getting the results
with JATO 1.2. Your explanation sounds like version 1.2 is very close
to solve the problem. Actually, our situation is easier because we
have SELECT object only, not SELECT and UPDATE. For data integrity
the only 'Select' ND's do(s) have been used through the whole
project. The backend communication (update, delete) is provided via
EJB like (entity) Java classes.
My question is: could I define synthetic field with 1.1.1 version. By
the way, word synthetic reflects the possibility to construct the
field under certain SQL circumstances (SELECT, UPDATE, e.g.) or the
possibility to construct a `fake' field (for example,
CountColumn of a do) as well. If the later is true, could you please
give a brief idea how to create this synthetic field.
After the translation in the doPriorityCountModelImpl class we've
got:
public static final String COLUMN_DFPRIORITYDESC="";
public static final String QUALIFIED_COLUMN_DFPRIO
RITYDESC=".";
public static final String COLUMN_DFPRIORITYCOUNT="";
public static final String QUALIFIED_COLUMN_DFPRIO
RITYCOUNT=".";
(see my original post please with details, as well).
If this is not a problem for 1.2 please do not waste your time to fix
it for 1.1.1. I need to repeat my results with the version 1.2 anyway.
We have a number of similar idioms through the project. In this
particular case, the CountColumn that counts the field from another
table may bring problem for manual adjustment (see my original
notes). The whole SQL query is as follows (for this case):
SELECT MIN(MOS.PRIORITY.PDESCRIPTION),
COUNT(ASSIGNEDTASKSWORKQUEUE.PRIORITYID),
MOS.PRIORITY.PRIORITYID
FROM MOS.ASSIGNEDTASKSWORKQUEUE, MOS.PRIORITY, MOS.DEAL
WHERE MOS.DEAL.SCENARIORECOMMENDED = 'Y'
AND MOS.DEAL.COPYTYPE <> 'T'
GROUP BY MOS.PRIORITY.PRIORITYID
ORDER BY MOS.PRIORITY.PRIORITYID ASC
During the pre-handler activity (it is the part of our Object
Framework on the top of Netdynamics Object Framework) system passes
id (and mos.deal.dealid = XXX) to the do (select query). After the
run-time execution of this do the results are displayed on the screen
bind to the repeatable statics.
Thank you very much,
Vladimir

N8/C7 PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IF YOU H...

MODS THIS IS NOT A POLL OR IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM A VOTING THREAD IT IS A THREAD TO WARN USERS ABOUT THE PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IT IN THEIR PHONES CLEAR AS DAY , I HAVE BEEN INFORMED FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMUNICATIONS AT NOKIA VIA TWITTER THAT THIS THREAD IS OK AND THE TEST IMAGE IS FINE TO LOAD UP
The following has been added by vandelay (Nokia administrator) :
Please note that there is normally a slight variation in the purple color level in each display
unit. This is related to the display manufacturer's optical tuning process. However, some Nokia C7 and Nokia N8 users seem to be experiencing a
slightly higher level of purple color tint on their device screens.
Nokia Care's technical experts told me that the easiest way to spot this problem is to just look at the black idle screen of the device - if there is a clear purple color tint on the idle screen, you should have the device inspected at a Nokia Care point. They will repair the device the device under warranty if there is a clear defect in the device.
So seeing some purple on the test image does not necessarily mean that your screen is faulty, but we hope that it helps some people to decide whether they should visit a Nokia Care point.
(end of vandelay's addition)
as you may or may not have read many n8s and c7s have a purple tint issue
this can easily be spoted by saving the picture below to your pc , transfering it to your n8/c7 , then viewing the image in your gallery
if the image shows purple squares in some areas then iam afraid you have one of the screens that is showing defects in gradiation of colurs and the greyscale
there are also many n8s out in the wild that dont have this problem , i have 3 n8s , my gfriend has one , hers is perfect and shows the test image with no purple tint at all my three n8s all have purple tint and some display it worse then others
the test image can be viewed on any brightness and it should display just as it does on your monitor screen ,my gfriends n8 displays the image perfect under all brightness levels yet my three n8s show the purple tint heavily on low brightness and not as much on full brightness
the test image can also be viewed via tv out and hdmi out and again if you have a defect screen you will see the image perfect on your tv yet on your n8 screen you will have purple tints
here is the test image for you to load to your device and view via the gallery
as stated above if you have one of the screens with defects in colour gradiation you will see some of the squares as purple
this shouldnt be happending as there n8s out there that display the test image perfectly
from all my research on this in the last month and my time studying ICT systems support in which i have a diploma , it seems clear to me that nokia have used at least two screens in the build of the n8
many phones bought between october launch and december dont have the problem yet there are still some that do but not as many as now , phones bought from the end of december up untill current date seem to have the issue moreand its now nearly impossible to find one without the purple tint issue
this leads me to believe that from the start nokia were using at least two screen in the n8 , then one started to run out around december and by the end of december a huge majority of n8/c7 handsets have the troubles, if not all of them shipped after december
infact ive been to every phone shop in lakeside , chelmsford , colchester which included : carphone warehouse , o2 , vodafone , orange , three , phones4u , tmobile all n8/c7 handsets i asked to look at had the problem not one n8 i looked at didnt have the issue
i have been in contact with nokia care escalation team , all they did is send me very badly refurbed handsets back for my brand new n8s , which across all three handsets had the following faults
#hdmi covers scratched and worn
#no imei number under the hdmi cover on one of them
#torx screws on battery cover very worn
#plastic top caps not fitted right
#one had a huge gap between the silver screen surround and the main chasis of n8
#they all still had purple tint issue
so nokia sent me three refurbed handsets for my brand new n8s , i obvously complained as they were so new i could have taken them back to the shops with the reciept but now nokia had changed the imei numbers my reciept was useless , i said i should be sent three brand new n8s , they again sent me badly refurbed handsets just as bad as the 1st lot and again all three of them had purple screen issues
i complained again and this time supervsior took over the case and agreed that 3 new n8s should be sent to me as mine was so new , she got them sent out and this time they were new but they still have the purple screen issue
thats a toatal 12 n8s direct from nokia and all of them have had the issue so i cant recomend going to a nokia care point or nokia care uk as the refurbs i was sent was a complete joke and looked like they were just used handsets that had been through a rough time
through this month of me talking to nokia and sending emails and getting these phones swapped back to a condition of the phones that i sent them , they have said they are investigating it and taking it seriously however after some of their actions towards users (myself included) on these forums it doesnt seem like they are taking it very serious at all , they have known about it for a month now and we still have not had an offical response from nokia themselves

http://n8geeks.com/nokia-n8-amoled-display-issue/
there are many more threads about this issue across the net and if you google n8 screen problems or n8 purple screen problems you will come acroos many many pages of unhappy users from all across the globe
i just hope nokia sort this out soon
ho do you users with the problem feel about this issue and how do you think nokia should resolve it
id be happy for a screen swap at a nsc or via warranty postal repair as long as it could be done quickly and the user wasnt without their phone for too long after all this is nokias mistake and not the users that bought the phone so all fixes should be at minimal disturbance to them
heres hoping when you test the image your not as unlucky as me and many other n8 owners from across the globe , its a brilliant phone but this screen issue lets it down alot especially during watching films and stuff

sorry to hear you guys are having troubles too , its a shame sucha great device as the nokia n8 has had an issue like this arise , it is effecting alot of n8/c7 handsets and is quite a widespread issue across the globe
it would be great to hear from as many users as possible about this and what they think about it as a user of the c7/n8
jimmyireland about your post mate
yes it was written by me and yes it ws deleted not once but 3or4 times actually
the mods said it was because i had set up a poll and voting system , so i read through forum rules and posted it again with what fitted their guidelines and even put in big caps that it was not a poll but a thread to help users identify a problem and discuss it which is what the forum is for , it was deleted again , i then posted it again with just the test image and how to spot the problem and again put big caps that the post fitted their guidelines and was just to help users , it was again deleted and i was banned by mods for 2 days saying that i had broke forum rules and posted a poll and that the test image wasnt a proper test image
i then asked other users to post the image but when they tryed nokias spam filter kicked in with a message saying that their post contained spam and that they should write it again and try posting again
to be honest it really looked like they were trying to cover up the issue , fair enough my 1st post could be considered a very very rough poll but the posts i made afterwards were edited to fit nokias guidelines and they still removed them ad banned me and then other users posts were marked as spam
so i tweeted alot of people and even nokia have said that as long as the post doesnt contain polls/votes then it will be fine to postand that mods shouldnt delete it , which was excellent news and hopefull this thread will stay and users can load the image and test their screens and then discuss the issue here so nokia can see users discussion in one thread , it will alo help awareness of the issue
hence this post that isnt a poll but a thread to help users identify wether their n8/c7 has a screen with a defect in the gradiation of colours
as stated in original post not all n8s have this problem my gfriends doesnt and it displays the test image perfectly on all brightness settings , yet my n8s show the image as very purple on low brightness and the brighter the screen goes the less the purple is shown , it is still there just not as visible as it is in the lower brightness settings
as i also mentioned many n8s between october and mid december are fine although some still have the problem , yet from mid december till current date the amount of n8s with purple issue is much much higher and it now seems very very rare that you will get a brand new n8 from the shops without this screen issue which leads me to believe that from launch nokia have used at least two screens in the builds of the n8 , some great screens and then the ones with dodgy purple tint , from the threads across the web it seems like the good screens nokia were using either run out or they have failed to source the same screen or the manufactuer of the screen has changed something
iam not a nokia hater and iam not here to cause trouble or loose nokia sales etc
i love nokia have used them for years and used symbian since the 6680 , iam always helping users across the web with their nokia problems and am an avid user on nokia users please check my profile and feel free to check my posts and how many times ive been thanked for being helpfull
http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/members/buxz777.html
as you can see i love nokia and spend alot of time using their devices , speaking highly of them and helping their users with problems, i also love good customer services and customer relations
i understand that big companys have build issues iam a gadget lover and trained in ict supprt iam not silly and understand that these things happend and building these phones with such complicated electronics and some could end up with issues , it could happend to anyone , sony , apple , samsung , blackberry , lg etc etc
however its how the companys react to these issues and relate to their customers that have spent 100s of pounds on their devices that is important , issues do arise , its how the company looks after its customers thats important
i think alot of users think the same , they dont expect nokia to click their fingers and go heres a fix but they do expect nokia to investigate the issue and they do expect nokia to relate to its customers and not ignore them or the issue which is what it looks like when posts are deleted and users are banned for posting informative posts that help users identify a problem
things like sending users really bad refurbs for brand new n8s also dont help users confidence in nokia statement of going to nokia care about the problem as all i got was second hand looking n8s that still have the problem they were sent off with and the originals were in much better condition
like i say iam not here to cause trouble and i love nokia the n8 is the best phone ive ever had and its almost my dream device and everything ive wanted on a device for years its the ultimate convergance device and agadget lovers dream , however when you see your gfriends and some of your mates n8 screens display the test image perfect then your n8 display it with a very purple hue it does dissapoint you and you do hope that nokia will take notice and fix the issue with the least amunt of hassle to the users
cheers jimmy and sorry about the long post just wanted to clear some things up
now lets get back to discussing the issue and what other users think about it
have a great evening

Screen Issues with MacBook Pro (Static Lines)

Hey guys. I aam having problems with my Screen/Display on my Macbook Pro.
Static lines appear aprox 1/3 of the way in from the right side. The lines run horizontally about 1 inch in length and running vertically all the way down the display. A screen shot shows a normal working display. Took a pic of the problem:
I cannot run hardware tools. My computer did not come with a disc and I know they are only a shipping charge but I do not have even $5. I am a student and this is my only way to do my schoolwork. The Screen (inner display and outer protective screen) was replaced by Apple in May '12. The 1 yr warranty ran out in June '12. When the screen was replaced it started doing this as well, but had not gotten this bad. There are now 2 where there was only one yesterday. I am wondering if it may be the cable as moving the display often fixes or produces the problem. I know the cable is not very expensive and not to difficult to replace.
Here is the info on my Mac:
Nice Name:
Machine Model: MacBookPro9,1
Name: MacBook Pro (mid 2012) 15 inch
Family name: A1286
Model Number: MD103
Group1: MacBook
Group2: Pro
Generation:
CPU speed: 2.3GHz
Screen size: 15.4 inch
Screen resolution: 1440x900 pixels
Colour: Aluminium
Production year: 2012
Production week: 13 (April)
Model introduced: 2012
Memory - flavour: DDR3-S-1600
Memory - number of slots: 2
Memory - maximum total: 16GB
Memory - largest module: 8GB
Factory: C0 (Quanta Computer (Susidiary = Tech Com))

It is getting worse in the sense that it is occuring more often and taking longer to resolve. Moving the laptop lid/display would typically fix the prblem in the past but now it is hit or miss. Even vibrations will cause the issue to occur or resolve. We are leaning more towards the issue being a cable and not the display. Since taking a screenshot produces a pic without issues I would gather that the video card is fuctioning properly. I welcome any comments on this.

Flickering Screen issue after Mavericks update released on Feb 26, 2014

I own a Macbook Retina display bought in early 2014. After installing the recent Maverick update released around Feb 26, 2014 the display developed flickering problem while scrolling and now the scrolling is not smooth any more. The originally shipped machine did not have this problem. I tested other software including Photoshop and the display still flickers while panning the canvas. I also tried resetting the SMC - System Management Controller but it didn't work along with other attempts of resetting the disk permissions, running a systems cleaner, changing the wifi-router etc.
How to fix this flickering screen issue?

The problem came back lately and I tried this solution and it worked. Go to system settings > power saver > and switch off the Automatic Graphic switching. Not sure if this is a good solution, but it seem to have worked for the time being.

There are white squares on my screen at the top. Apple care is telling me I'm out of warranty. This seems like an Apple LCD screen issue. The problem seems to be widespread. How is apple dealing with this. apple care told me it would cost me 260.00

Apple should be fixing this problem for free. It is a hardware issue. Check the Web. A lot of your customers are having the same problem. If I have to spend money to fix this I will be choosing a different cell phone provider

That the problem has happened to someone else, or even to a couple of dozen people, does not make it a "widespread problem". Apple has sold millions of iPhones, so even if hundreds have experienced the problem that's still a very small failure rate.
Your iPhone is out of warranty, so you will need to pay for service. If Apple finds this to be a screen issue, in many Apple Stores they can replace the screen for US $149. If it's not a screen issue or your local Apple Store can not yet replace the screen, then Apple replaces the entire iPhone. Those are their policies, and complaining about it, particular here in these user-to-user forums, will accomplish nothing.
You are free to pay some unauthorized shop to attempt repair, or attempt your own repair, if you wish, though you will void any further support from Apple, for any price, if you do.
There is nothing more anyone here can tell you.

Air 3.3 beta PC audio distortion / Air 3.1 / 3.2 Mac black screen issue

Hi there,
I've recently released a large game coded in Flash Builder with Air (www.lonesurvivor.co.uk), and I used Air 3's captive runtime feature to bundle it for Mac and PC.
The initial build used Air 3.2 and for a large proportion of OSX users, there were no visuals at all, just sound and the game obviously working underneath. This caused a very large support issue, and took several weeks to deal with, as well as having to maintain a seperate Projector version for those for whom the Air version wouldn't work. I wish I had known that the game would fail on some Macs, but unfortunately the issue showed up on none of the ones tested.
I'm about to launch the updated build of the game which uses Air 3.3 beta 1, as it seems to fix the black screen issue for all those who experienced it. I was very happy that Adobe have managed to iron this out, even if there was no response to the bug I entered into bugbase.
The problem is, on a final test on XP SP2, the 3.3 beta version produces what appears to be filtered graphics... which is how the Mac version has always appeared, but the PC version of the game seemed to use what looked like nearest-neighbour sampling in Flash's fulllscreen upscaling, which looked good for the zoomed pixel art in this game.
This is a small cosmetic issue, but there is another one whhich is far more severe - the audio has become extremely distorted, and is now unlistenable.
So with 3.2 giving me no visual on Macs and 3.3 giving me unlistenable audio on PCs, I will now have to maintain two versions again. I really would like to keep one project I can quickly make changes to, but the seperate problems in different platforms means I lose out on the great cross-platform functionality of Air. I'm hoping this is a known issue, but I couldn't find it on google / bugbase / these forums.
Could these two issues be related - is hardware acceleration not working or something? Somehow I think it is, because the XP test machine is quite old, and tended to fall over with the game running in software mode in a Flash projector.
I tried swapping out the Air 3.3 runtime for the previous 3.2 I shipped with, and editing the XML desciption to make sure it was set to use that and, sure enough, the game worked as it did before. So there is definitely something up with the beta. I'm just glad I caught this problem before I shipped as going to save me thousands of emails of support!
So I guess my question is - is this a known issue? And if so, do you have any workarounds / or are Adobe working on a fix?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the prompt response - I guess I should have tried the forums instead of the bugbase last time... It really was a support nightmare! Not least because I had to deal with the problem of saved games being wiped by over-zealous browsers on the backup Projector version I was supplying Mac customers with.
Fortunately the Mac Air 3.3 runtime works great.
Out of interest - there is still the difference in GPU scaling used between Mac and Windows though, which there always has been since it was introduced (is this a known issue btw?)
Which leads me to the 3.3 beta 2 - I tried it out last night, and while it corrected the blurry graphics (the scaling appeared nearest neighour again on XP), the audio suffered the same distortion.
In addition, I had several other XP / Vista / Win 7 users test out the build, and the user with XP SP3 also suffered the issue.
So I'm planning to ship the PC version with 3.1 as it worked well for the first release, and use 3.3 beta 1 for the Mac version. Unfortunately I've run out of time and need to get it out there!
I'd definitely be interested in getting into the pre-release program. I'll write you an email and send the builds of the game too.
Cheers,
Jasper

Screen Issues since upgrading

Since upgrading to `lion, my 2007 Macpro often runs very hot and also I have been experiencing some screen issues (hangs, on reboot get a pink and grey check effect, wont boot)
Support center advised on some resets and a re-install of Lion. However although this has 'reduced' the effect it still occurs
Any advise or similar experiences

If it runs better in your Guest account, then something in your admin account is getting in the way.
Probably not a systemwide issue.
The first place I'd look is in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). Don’t just “hide” them by checkmark.
Running at max RAM shouldn't be a problem in Mavericks, as it handles memory more efficiently than previous systems, also you have virtual memory and you have a good amount of free disk space for it.

That said more RAM is always better but I can understand why you wouldn't want to spend the money on the Mini at this point.

WT10-A Touch screen Issues

I bought this less than a week ago and i am having issues with the touch screen. It just stops working all of a sudden for no reason and i have to restart to make it work. It will work fine for hours sometimes but sometimes i have to restart every five minutes. Can someone please help me solve this issue. ThanksKarman

I'm no scientist (although I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express)... but do you think that perhaps the touch screen issues a lot of folks are experiencing could be due to liquid evaporation? Maybe these people are leaving the iPhone in a hot car (or some other really warm place) for an extended period and not admitting it? I mean it is summertime.
Not liquid, but you could be onto something.
Heat is one of the few things that can cause a capacitive screen system go out of calibration, due to the effect on surrounding part specs. Perhaps that's what we're seeing.
I suppose someone with the problem could stick their phone in the refrigerator (not freezer!) for ten minutes and see if that cures their problem.
More likely, there are several different problems going on, and what works for one won't work for others.
My biggest suspicion is that a memory interface is on the edge (either power or timing), and thus weird glitches show up. Restorting the device only when it is fully charged might be one experiment. Give us a dozen bad devices, the source code, a lab with an ICE, and a coupla weeks... and we could figure out what's going on.

IPhone 6 screen issue?

Has anyone had screen issues with iPhone 6... As far as the screen going black/dark? Mine will get black/dark on the left side only at least once a week. It slow dissipate away and go back to normal after about 3days.

Even showing where the screen was doing this prior to the cracked screen? I could see if I didn't have evidence of the screen going black prior to cracking it this morning. All because I was trying to get screaming toddler into daycare! But really? As long as we've been customers of Verizon, I am extremely disappointed in this service. I am going to talk with my husband about going to AT&T because this is absolutely ridiculous! We pay way more than we believe is far for our service and being such loyal customers and this is the service we receive. My husband was a customer of Alltel many, many years prior to Verizon taking over and if it wasn't for me he would have left a long time ago. I do believe it is time to switch providers. I will be sure to pass this email as well as making others whom have your service aware of how long term customers are treated. And I will talk them out of purchasing any of your products due to this. I have already talked my boss out of buying a 128gb iPhone 6 plus! On top of the fact that we have NEVER EVER filed a claim for any of our products!!

The Windows 7 Black Screen Issue

I am putting in Bootcamp with a Windows 7 install. I checked these forums and made sure I had all my prep work done.
I referenced article TS3173 and downloaded the neccessary drivers for 7, formatted a 16GB SD Card as FAT Bootable and copied the drivers and autounattend.xml files onto the root of the drive.
THe installation as going as planned but at the end I'm still ending up with a black screen. Windows is installed ok but on the restart after" Preparing for FIrst Use" comes up the screen goes black.
Obviously, the drivers are not being installed from the SD card, I tried it on a USB External driver as well. Am I missing something here? I read every post I could find on it and I can't see where I am doing anything incorrectly.
Thanks
Tom

You don't need Paragon or another NTFS driver. That may work (I've used it, but I was using a full hard drive anyway to begin with).
Apple's method:

*My iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) displays a black screen during installation of Microsoft Windows 7 using the Boot Camp Assistant. How do I fix it?*
The Windows 7 installer does not include required graphics or Bluetooth drivers for this computer. To obtain the necessary drivers and resolve the issue, see this article (creating the SD card and drivers for the "black screen" issue).

Gray screen issue still in Reader 11.0.03

Hi, it sounds like the PDF gray screen issue mentioned here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-opens-grey-screen-browser.html
has been fixed in 10.1.3. Has it been fixed in 11.0.03? I have the latest Xi version installed and am still experiencing this problem.

Hi, C F McBlob,
Thanks for the help and the suggestion. I turned on Compatibility View in IE and I still see the gray screen. The ActiveX control should take the same setting that I've set in the browser, right?
Also, shouldn't it be an Adobe issue rather than an IE issue if the exact same setup works with Adobe 9?
