N82 flash problem: lens reflection

at first sight, I thought that the halo found on a picture with flash originated from a dust particle or something.
Sad to say I found more pictures with these "halo"-artefacts, that, upon closer inspection seem to originate from a reflection of the camera-lens itself.
Check the examples below for artefacts and lens reflections:
Anyone else found this on pictures with flash?
Lens itself is perfectly clean, no dust or scratches. There isn't a regular pattern, besides the fact that artefacts only occur with flash: sometimes one reflection, sometimes many, at random places.
Looking forward to your input on this

It's only happened to me once when I had a very small bit of dust on the lens. It gave the exact same effect.
Has your phone been anywhere humid or steamy like a kitchen or bathroom? You could have a tiny bit of condensation on the inside of the lens.
It's probably worth visiting a nokia care point and asking them to clean your lens, inside and outside.

Problem with reflection in Generics

I'm using the Prototype compiler for JSR-014 and I am having a big problem with reflection. In the simplest case
class n<T> {
    void go() {
     this.getGenericType().getTypeParameters();
     this.getClass().getGenericInterfaces();
}I get a "cannot resolve symbol" on both lines. A glance at the jar included with the prototype shows why: all the collection classes are there, and a lot of the java.lang types, but not java.lang.Class and none of the java.lang.reflection classes.
So what gives? Is reflection not supported yet? (gaak!) Is there another jar I am supposed to download?
Thanks

Schapel is right.
but also
The signatures for fields and methods will include the generic types.
If you really wanted to, this would work.
get the Class's ClassLoader,
work out the name of the Class's file, and get an inputStream to this resource (from the classloader). (This bit works because I use as a diagnostics tool to see if classes are loaded from my jar, or my patches directory - see below).
Write some stuff to read the class file and parse out the generic signatures for the things you are interested in.
I don't think this last part would fit into anyones definition of "fun", however the specs are all available, and it may turn out simpler than at first appearances.
Here's the code I use to get the location of where a class is loaded from.
    static URL getLoadPath(Class theClass) {
        StringBuffer resourcename = new StringBuffer(theClass.getName());
        for(int i=0;i < resourcename.length(); i++) {
            if(resourcename.charAt(i) == '.') {
                resourcename.setCharAt(i,'/');
        resourcename.append(".class");
        return theClass.getClassLoader().getResource(resourcename.toString());
    }if you use getResourceAsStream() in place of getResource() you will have the .class file as an inputStream which you can read and parse.
Have Fun

Flash problem persists after 6 months...does this new information help?

Hi All!
I posted my problem almost 6 months ago, (I'll paste some of the info below to bring you up to date), but I STILL can't access only FOUR sites because I get a "Plugin file is missing" error, (after my previous post I found 2 other sites). I've been trying to solve this problem off & on, but I got more dedicated the other day because I'll be needing access to these sites very soon. I found some new information today that I hope will solve this awful problem; however, since I'm not very technically inclined I know I have to ask a "Flash Expert", so here goes....
I run Windows 8 & I use Mozilla exclusively. I updated Flash the other day to version 15.0.0.152 & I wanted to make sure the plugins had been updated, so I opened the "Flash Player Settings Manager" & under the "Advanced" tab it lists:
                                        NPAPI Plugin Version 15.0.0.152
                                        PPAPI Plugin Version Not installed
Is it significant that the PPAPI Plugin is "Not installed", or does Mozilla only require the NPAPI plugin?
My second question regards the installation of Flash. I know that when a program is problematic, it sometimes helps to uninstall & reinstall it...I recently had a game that went nuts & that's the procedure I had to do. Also, someone on Mozilla's forum said they were having a Flash issue & they went to your site & downloaded the .exe AND the .msi Installers from the Distribution Page, then manually installed them & their problem was resolved. Would this help me resolve MY Flash problem? If you think it's worth a try, do I have to uninstall Flash first?
Well, that's all the new info I have. I have to figure this out before December because that's when the nest-cam comes back on...I really have to get this problem fixed! I'll paste my previous post below, but I hope the uninstall/reinstall method will be the answer!
Thanks in advance for your help!

DogPal
Here's my previous post:
Flash 13.0.0.214 does NOT work on some sites, but works fine on all others in Using Flash Player
Hi!
I watch several wildlife nest-cams every day running Windows 8 using Firefox 29.0.1, but yesterday morning, (after I'd already watched the 6 cams I view every day), I started getting a solid, black screen with, "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found", on TWO of these sites.
My attempts to resolve the problem were:
1. Checked all the other web-cam sites I view daily, and there's only a problem on 2 of them.
2. Went to You Tube, Facebook & other similar sites and I can view streaming media.
3. Refreshed pages-when that didn't help, I closed & reopened Firefox & still 2 sites with "plugin loading error"
4. Completely shut-down my laptop & rebooted.
5. Did "System Restore" to earlier in the day when ALL web-cam sites were working.
6. Went to Adobe Flash site & verified that I had the most current version...I do, & I saw the animations on Flash site.
7. Verified my Flash Plugins in Firefox...AGAIN...they're all activated & up-to-date
8. Checked & re-checked ALL the web-cam sites I view every day, (for, at least the 10th time), and the
     same 2 sites are still showing the "Error loading plugin: Plugin file not found" on a black screen. Even
     though the video isn't seen the "chat" area is functioning, (I don't know if that's important, but I
     thought I should mention it).
9. I posted the issue on Firefox's Forum but no one has an answer since Flash works everywhere except
     for 2 sites.
I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot this, but as you can see, I've had no success in solving this "mystery".
As for the 2 sites I can't view, they are:
                                    http://www.pixcontroller.com/eagles/    And
                                    http://www.westmorelandconservancy.org/BlueBirdWebcam-1.htm
I've been watching these sites for MONTHS, so why I can't view them all of a sudden, well, I'm clueless, (I guess you already figured that out...ha ha ha). I was watching the 2 sites listed above early yesterday morning, then when I looked at one of the other cams I view and came back to these 2 sites, I got the "error message".
I hope you have a solution for me, as I'm desperate! I'm WAY behind in my documentation for these 2 sites, so hopefully you'll have an easy answer. If it's a technical thing, please use LOTS of details, as I'm not very technically inclined.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best Regards,
DogPal
P.S. I just checked on another site that offers many different wildlife cams, & I CAN view the "Pittsburgh Bald Eagles" if I go through: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pittsburgh-bald-eagles    I'm sure this means something, but since I don't understand this technical stuff I don't know what that is! (I told you I'm clueless!)

I definitely see a problem with the pixcontroller/eagles site on Windows 8.1. It works fine for me in the same version of Firefox on Windows 7. It's unclear to me whether it's a Firefox or a Flash Player issue, but I'm happy to look into it further and get some bugs filed.
As a temporary workaround, both sites work fine with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Flash problem after software update (on 10.6.8)

I'm having flash problems on *some* macs after one of the recent software updates (june 2012).
On my school's 10 iMac's (2010), I can't play flash games anymore *in safari*. Chrome is ok.
An example site, is http://www.barryfunenglish.com/games.php (select any game)
But on my school's 6 MacBook Pro's, I can - both safari and chrome.
It was working 2 weeks ago on all computers.
I'm using Software Update server from our server to update all the macs, so it's possible there was an update problem.
Why is flash missing on the 10 imacs safari? But not on the macbook pros?

AppleJason wrote:
so did Apple uninstall flash on safari with it's latest update? do you know the reason?
Yes, it was blacklisted by Adobe for security vulnerabilities. OS X now checks to make certain you are running a safe version and disables it if you aren't.
With the latest update, you now have the option of having Adobe doing a "Silent Update" in the background without your having to do anything. I would recommend you implement it.

Firefox not helping with Flash problem

Ok, so, I'm getting really irritated with Flash. I talked to
a friend who was having flash problems and they said they
downloaded Firefox and it fixed the problem. Well, after doing
EVERYTHING else first, I thought, what the heck, maybe it might
actually work. So I downloaded and installed Firefox. Ok, that
installed perfectly fine. So I used Firefox to download Flash 9. I
thought all was going to work out, because Firefox didn't just
refresh the page like Internet Explorer did whenever I clicked the
"Agree and download now" button on the download page. It actually
downloaded and "said" it installed correctly. But I still can't
play ANYTHING no Youtube STILL!! I go to youtube on Firefox and
aperently it doesn't regonize any Flash on my computer. I go to
youtube on Internet Ex. and it says I need the latest version of
Flash. I tried rebooting the computer. I tried uninstalling and
installing it AGAIN. What the F is the problem? I've made sure all
my AxtiveX controlls are set to whatever thry need to be, my
Shockwave is updated, my security is not interfearing. I'm getting
really pissed. I've been trying to fix this problem for months
now!! What else could be going wrong?? Is there something I haven't
tried yet? Do I just need to get a new F-ing computer? Someone
help!!

Well the first thing you need to understand is this...
Flash Player for Windows Internet Explorer is an ActiveX
control.
Flash Player for Windows for ALL other browsers is a plugin.
They do the same thing ultimately, but they're separate
downloads and on your machine they're actually seperate bits of
software.
So the reason that so many people have success with Firefox
is that the Flash Player plugin seldom has install failures. But
for IE Windows users the Flash Player activex control often has
permission-related install failures that cause these kind of
issues. It's unfortunate, but very, very complex and we've been
fighting it for a long time.
So the thing to remember is that when you're talking about
Firefox, you're not dealing with ActiveX controls in ANY way.
So here's the question.. When you launch JUST Firefox, and go
to this page, what do you see?

Flash problem in IE - not the usual one.

I am new to the game here. I've created some pages that use a
Flash video player. The user can click on a list of available
videos (XML generated), and the video will load in the player and
play.
Works fine in IE and Safari on Mac.
Works terrible in Firefox on Mac and Windows (seems to need
to buffer for a long time before play starts - longer than the
specified buffer time).
In IE for Windows - videos play fine and load fast. but -
activating a video seems to "lock out" the rest of the page -
rendering the ability to click through to other links not possible.
Eventually, if i smash around enough, i can get a link to work -
but its a terrible experience. This doesn't seem to be the "usual"
Flash problem in IE (ie click to activate) - but I'm new - so this
may be a related issue?
Help??? I don't even know where to begin.

http://64.38.28.254
thank you in advance.

Try changing the line:
td { }
in your CSS file 'basic.css' to:
td { vertical-align: top; }
This will align all table cells on your web site to the top.

Hi Mush25-
I had to step back from this and take a different approach.
While tossin' down some aspirins, I worked on my other niece's
laptop to upgrade to FP10 and troubleshoot. Identical to T2, but
with more Yahoo stuff: homepage, toolbar, chat, etc.. Turns out she
had already done it via Adobe yes/no prompt. No issues, everything
works OK. She said it only took a few minutes. I checked it out and
checked the settings, it's OK. Go figure.....
So, I will approach this as a problem with Manual
Downloading, which you and I did (not sure about Morac).
The HP desktop? We don't normally use IE7 on it, as it is AOL
Dial-up only, so few/no cookie issues on IE7. I kicked in IE7 and
FP10 worked OK. Well, as OK as dial-up video can be....
OK- a question for ya, this will tell me if I'm on the right
track: On your first FP10 upgrade, did you FIRST uninstall FP9, or
download/install OVER FP9? Please answer honestly....no judgements
here...
I didn't uninstall first- I admit it! I never do for Adobe
and Java, as I want to make sure the new version/upgrade works OK
before losing the old. I was on the old dial-up for too long, I
guess. There are exceptions, of course, like AVG.
Let me know.

Do I need to drop Mozilla since they can't seem to solve the Adobe Flash problem?

I have followed every step suggested to fix Adobe Flash crashing problem. Is the real solution to just drop Mozilla and switch to Chrome? Seem Adobe Flash works just fine there...

By the way, it would be useful if you could mention which settings you have changed. The headline suggestions for working around Flash problems usually include the following:
(1) Disable protected mode (Win Vista and Win 7 only)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Check for and resolve conflicts with Firefox add-ons (e.g., using Safe Mode or a clean profile)
(4) For display issues with scrolling, disable Smooth Scrolling and Autoscrolling here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General

SAFARI 4 HANGS/FREEZES/CRASHES ... FLASH PROBLEM

Okay, this is my first Post to an Apple Discussion Forum of any sort.
I've been using Mac OS X (Tiger) for a few years now, and had switched to Safari from Mozilla Firefox. No probs w/ Safari as of 3.2.3 I think it was, but now that I've upgraded to Safari 4, I've got a problem where it seems to lock up. A page will seem to have a status of "Loading ..." indefinitely, and hitting the "X" next to the word "Loading" to stop the loading, or clicking on a Bookmark Menu button, or anything of that sort doesn't work. The page just doesn't load, or will eventually start to load some stuff super slowly. You can go in to Safari's menu options though.
I've seemed to isolate it to a Flash problem.
I've uninstalled Flash (the latest version from Adobe), re-installed, repaired Permissions, and many other things that I've read in similar Posts, to no resolution.
Sites will actually load fast, and Safari seems to work if Flash plug-ins are moved from the Library>Internet Plug-ins folder (to the Disabled Plug-ins folder for example)... until you are on a site that uses Flash, where you'll get an error about not having plug-in for that application/MIME type (ie www.hulu.com).
At this point I'd be happy to uninstall Safari 4, and re-install Safari 3. I've downloaded both .DMG's, because another Post suggested the Safari 4 .DMG would also include the Uninstaller. I only have the Install package though.
I guess I'm asking for either an answer to ...
A) Where can I find the Safari 4 Uninstaller (yet maybe not lose bookmarks) so I can re-install Safari 3? ... or
B) Does anybody know of an effective way to resolve the Flash issue?
Thanks in advance for replies/suggestions!

Your experience sounds much like mine. There is a thread under my post named "Safari and Flash Player." Unfortunately, I have gotten no other suggestions in my thread, likewise doing everything you did to no avail. Unlike radbrad, I am having no apparent issues with JavaScript. Like IdidLikeSafari, I have been able to isolate the conflict to Flash: disabling that plugin alone prevents the hang-up. The curious thing for me is how site specific it is: I can run Flash content on lots of sites, and everything shows successful on Adobe's player test without any loading issues. I have reported to Apple. Adobe's bug report appears to work differently from Apple's, requiring an Adobe account I have not created. Perhaps this issue should be reported to Adobe as well, but for me there were absolutely no issues until Safari 4. Just like IdidLikeSafari, I had no issues at all under 3.2.3. So it appears the fault must be caused by Safari 4 somehow.
I don't know if you saw the thread about the hard-disk renaming workaround. I tried it, and it did not work for me. But since it is so simple and harmless, you might as well see if it works if you haven't tried it yet. I'm sorry that I can't remember the name of that thread, though.

Y40-80 Volume/Sound and Screen Flashing Problem

Hey guys, I'm having an issue with my new Y40-80. The volume will sometimes noticeably decrease and then randomly go back to normal. I have installed the relevant audio driver from Lenovo as well as completely updated my laptop through Windows Update. I have also done a complete system restore, but to no avail. I also get a hissing noise when using my earphones, which is normal, I got it on my last laptop as well, but the thing is, the hiss also comes and goes. If there are no souds playing, then the hiss is gone, but right before I click something that is going to play a sound, like a song, for example, the hiss comes back, but if I pause the song, the hiss remains for a few seconds before going away and being completely silent again. Perhaps I received a bad audio card? I also have an issue where my screen will sometimes quickly flash pure white or some distorted image of whats being displayed. I have only had this issue while playing this online game called League of Legends. I have also installed both the relavant AMD and Intel VGA drivers from Lenovo and my laptop is completely up to date. Any help is apprecitated. I really like the laptop, but these issues are annoying and are making me wonder if I have received a defective unit. Thanks!

Well, I seem to have found a solution myself. Posting it here in case someone comes across the same issue. Instead of downloading the Realtek audio driver from Lenovo's website, I downloaded the appopriate one from Realtek's website. Here: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false I believe the audio driver that comes preinstalled is the same as the one on Lenovo's website and I don't think it's for a Windows 8.1 but is instead an old driver for 64 bit Vista. Also, for the screen flashing problem that I was encountering while playing League of Legends, I believe I've also found a solution. Instead of downloading the AMD driver from Lenovo's website, I also recommend going straight to AMD's website and downloading the appropriate driver there. I tried using their auto-detect utility but the issue persisted. I went to AMD's website again and this time manually searched for a driver and came across a beta driver and so far so good.

Does the N82 detect if the flash is needed?
Auto flash setting and Flash always on. If it's on auto and your taking pictures during the day bright light inside the flash won't go off will it if it's on auto (A setting that detects if the flash is needed or not).
It might be a flash setting problem Maybe?

G10 Flash Problem after Lens Replacement - Ideas?

Need some advice on my G10. The story is that I have two G10s - one had a "lens error" and the other just badly scratched. So I replaced both lenses - one sourced from Chicago and one sourced from China. After replacing both, neither flash will fire. Prior to my meddling both cameras worked perfectly.
I tore them down again and reseated every ribbon cable and internal connection. Same result. If I disable the flash with the menu the shutter fires. If it is set to flash (auto or forced) then the shutter will not fire - the focusing light just hunts around waiting for the flash that never comes.
Now if I put an external flash in the hotshoe - the external flash will fire just fine. Just not the internal. I checked the microswitch under the hotshoe and it is responding fine. Weird.
So thinking both lens replacement units might be faulty I put the original scratched lens back in (which was working just fine ) and same result - no flash again and no shutter on flash setting.
I am sure it is something I must have done during the reassembly because there are two cameras involved - I just can't figure out what it was.
My other thought is that the capacitor discharged when I disassembled and now it will not re-acquire enough juice to fire.
Any ideas from the Forum? Thanks much.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, I am guessing you do not have the service software, focusing charts, collimator box etc. to recalibrate the lens system?
When the camera shoots how is the image?
I doubt you have 2 bad lenses.
Do you have the service manual ? The flash circuit board usually connects to the DC supply right off the battery box, look in that area for a problem with a connector, you may have reversed one on both cameras? I've worked on a couple models, G5 and the S5 but never on the lens assembly because of all the special tools and software needed. I was able to locate the service manuals for those that I worked on first. If you don't have the service manual try and find it.
So my guesses are you made the same mistake with the flash pcb board connectors on or near the battery box on both cameras or the lens systems need to be recalibrated which is why you have that "hunting" symptom.
Also as an after thought do you have the AC adaptor, if so try it using that and see if the flash works. If it works with that then your problem is most definitely in or around the battery box/flash PCB.
Let me know what you find.

N82 camera problem: black image and flashing blitz...

Hello, today my n82 phone crashed with this issue, i reinstalled the firmwire reseted it and the problem wasn't solved, u know if i can resolve the problem myself or i really must go to guaranty?

If you have dropped your N82 this issue is most likely hardware related necessitating a visit to a Nokia Care facility unfortunately.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

N82 screen problem.

I ran across an ad in which the guy was selling his n82 for $180, called him up, we met, and the phone has a weird problem with the screen. It is extremely dim (can;t see anything in bright light), but can see better when it's dark around. Don't really know how to describe it.The backlight works alright. He told me he flashed it and that's when it happened (which i seriously doubt).Could it be a bad screen and the replacement would fix it? Or could it be something more serious?
Thank you, guys!

You might want to take steps first to make sure that it is in fact a Nokia, not a fake. Then move on to see if he is still under warranty and see if you can get that taken care of.
It just sounds a bit suspicious, that a 400$ phone would be sold for 180.. but you never know with people these days

5d Mk III and 580 ExII flash problem

I purchased a 5D mkIII back in April as an upgrade to my 7D, I've been very happy with the new camera until the other evening when I was shooting in some low light situations with the flash.
For reasons that seem to be eluding me I can't find the setting in camera to activate the focus assist beam from the flash. It fires with the proper exposures though I have to switch to live view for my auto focus to lock on.
When the same flash is on the 7D this is not an issue, the auto focus assist beam kicks in as needed .
Has anyone else had this problem with a 5Dmk III ?

Yeah, that explains it... Flash Focus Assist doesn't work on 7D or 5DII in AI Servo, either. It makes sense if you think about it. AI Servo doesn't have Focus Confirmation or lock the way One Shot does. AI Servo is continous to track movement, so it would need continuous Flash Focus Assist beam to work and that would drain the flash batteries pretty rapidly.
