Needs to be fixed immediately...

I brought the phone with me in the car the other day.  It was very sunny and I couldn't see it well.  I changed the settings but it didn't matter.  I had people with me who had Blackberry's whose screens were blowing mine away.  It was so bad they were laughing and asking me, "How much did you pay for that device?"  It was ridiculous.  Now later that day inside I could roll video where they couldn't and the N900 screen/clarity was better than the Blackberry's, the internet is better than Blackberry - but still... I don't want this phone to be an "indoor only" device.  The N900 needs the same "auto" adjust for light that the Blackberry has.  Right now, no matter what you do, in full sun the device doesn't look good at all.
I know new devices have bugs... and apps are still not available...  and all of this is fine and acceptable to me.  But you can't get around a "bad visual."  I didn't expect that and was shocked by it.  I really like this phone but until this is fixed I will have to bring my Blackberry if I am going places where I will be outdoors.  A problem I didn't expect to have...
I hope they fix this soon...
Sandy

I tried to use similar screens for the test - both had black screens with some icons and writing.  I attached another screen which clearly shows the N900 is stellar when in a room with "regular" lighting.  that first print screen is with massive incoming light.  That is why I just don't know..??..  The more light there is - the better the Blackberry shows - the opposite is true of the N900 - but does that mean it is "broken?"
The best thing would be to take my N900 to a store and compare to another N900 - but I can't find a store that sells the N900 in the Los Angeles area.  I had to take this phone to T-Mobile (who doesn't have one) because they are the only carrier who would give it 3G support.
The only other avenue would be to email the picture to Nokia and see what they say... see if they think something is wrong with mine....
Thanks for the feedback here...
Sandy

  • High pitched static on other end is a software bug that needs to be fixed immediately

    Every once in a while, the callers on the other line start hearing nothing but a high pitched static from me. I have no idea when it happens or what causes it. I can hear the other person just fine but they cannot hear me at all. I find out when the other person keeps saying hello and eventually hangs up. Once it happens, it happens on every call after that. 
    The only thing that fixes it is restarting the phone which is extremely annoying. This is most definitely a software bug and has nothing to do with whether you have good signal or if you use a case or not.
    I tested this with by calling my wife's phone when she was with me after the glitch happened.
    1) I had no case on the phone.
    2) I was getting a perfect signal (also perfect 4g)
    3) Switching to loudspeaker did nothing.
    4) Turning noise reduction on or off did nothing.
    5) muting and unmuting did nothing (except when muted there was obviously no static, but it came back upon unmuting)
    6) Turning wifi on or off did nothing
    7) Turning bluetooth on or off did nothing
    Answering an important call and hearing "hello, hello, hello and click" is the most annoying thing ever. Because then I have to restart my phone which takes quite a while and the other person is repeatedly calling me in the meantime. 
    This needs to be fixed immediately. After all, this device is a phone first. All those smart functions come second. If I can't make or receive calls properly this device has to go.

    Oh no! This definitely can be annoying!!
    We have had others with the Droid Charge call/write in with the same issue. Replacing the phone didn't resolve which also leads me to believe it is a software glitch.
    First, make sure you do have the most recent sofware version vy going to:
    Settings>About Phone>System Updates>Check New    You should currently have i510EE4
    We have let Samsung know that there is an issue with some of the Droid Charge's having a high pitched noise.
    At this time, they are looking into it in order to provide a resolution.

  • I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

    I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
    I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Itunes 11 needs a fix immediately

    When im in any album or any set up in itunes and go to the store and revert back to my library it always starts me at the top. ***. It was never like that before and thats annoying. I have 10000 songs in my library and dont want to have to search every time for where i was. this needs to be fixed asap. there is no option to fix this in itunes

    Too right, this version of iTune is half cooked to say the least, very awkward to navigate, panel is clumsy and
    HOW DO YOU GET RID OF DUPLICATES?
    Ho, and also it doesn't sink properly with i-pod touch: some playlists are invisible!
    Why does Aple keep releasing softwares and updates without trials?
    Previous version was far superior if slightly less "pretty" . iTune is still boring grey without any user customisation possible and I feel even less free now to use a software that should be FUN and Easy to use.
    Does any one from Apple realy bother reading this forum?

    Hi,
    I dont know if there is any direct way of doing so, but ican suggest a turn around solution.
    declare 2 global tables 1. ITAB_10 type ITAB (in which there is ur data)
                                      2. IT_ROW inwhich 2 cloumn (start_pos & end_pos type i)
    Now in intialization.
    Caluculate no of rows in ITAB.
    Say there are 56 rows, then fill table it_row as 1(start_pos) - 10(end_pos), 11-20,...51-56.
    Then in main Window, Create a loop on IT_ROW.
    in that create a CODE under this loop in which fill ur ITAB_10 from ITAB as per start_pos& end_pos in IT_ROW.
    Then create TABLE under the loop, for ITAB_10.
    Regards,
    Vaibhav.

  • Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO:  are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
    Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces  that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
    Please fix this as soon as possible.
    thanks,

    Hi
    I'v tried many times to update my applications however, my account can't do it because security code for my card is incorrect note that I'm sure my card details are correct completely so i need help to fix it as much as you can plz. Thnks

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

    I need help in fixing my hp split x2. I got it with windows 8 but i upgraded to Windows 8.1. sine then I stop accessing my D:/ drive ( 500gb HDD)on which I stored data. Besides, I get DCP watchdog violation Error each time I disconnect the tablet and reconnet it. I also get another error message: DCP_DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. Can somebody help me out?

    Hi Alsaab73,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your and getting an error message. The HDD that are you using, I would need the model number. Have you looked in the device manager to see if there is a conflict with the driver installed? It might be listed under the USB devices? Have you tried a different port on the Notebook?  Right clicking an updating the driver might be all that is needed.
    As per the description of the issue you get error DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION.
    Is the issue confined to any particular game or a certain function you are choosing on the Notebook?
    The First thing you need to try is disable any firewalls or virus protection and restart the Notebook.
    If that does not helps try these steps from Microsoft.
    Boot the computer using the Windows 8 bootable DVD.
    On the Install Now screen click on Repair your computer.
    You will then see a blue screen and an option to choose.
    Click on Advanced Options and then click on Troubleshoot.
    Click on Automatic Repair and follow the prompted instructions.
    Hope this helps.

  • N70 problems that need to be fixed in next FW

    Since there's been a time since Nokia released a new FW for the N70, maybe they need to know what need to be fixed, and ASAP, since these are severe problems.
    1. The Music Player: It starts slow, very slow. In the v2 and v3 FW it used to open in a second, now it takes almost a minute. It displays the "Opening" sequence, and then "Processing" sequence, and only after that you enter the Music Menu. Also, veru important issue: If you go to All Songs -> select a song, and then hold a button from the joystick, the Music Player crashes. But the opening is the MOST IMPORTANT. Make it quicker.
    2. The Gallery has to be faster. We have to wait a lot of time for the Gallery to open, then we select Pictures & Videos. Here we find a "Opening" sequence of about a minute, and then we wait a lot until the pictures are loaded (if they're newly added).
    3. Speaking of pictures, when N70 owners make a picture/video, they don't really have time to view the picture/video, since the viewing time is very limited (about 3 seconds). How about making a BACK button, so that we'll go back to the viewfinder when we're done viewing newly captured moments?
    4. When in Messaging -> Delivery reports, you can't use the C button to delete delivery reports.
    5. No information about Radio in Active Standby, when Radio is on and playing.
    These are only a few of the problems that the N70 continues to have. Please, other N70 users, post your issues/bugs here, so that Nokia will try (hopefully) to improve the N70. I know the N70 is not an important product anymore, but it does not mean it has to have serious issues.

    Hi all,
    I have my problems described on /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=24567
    1. It's video capture problem - microphone sensitivity is too high (only on mp4 and only on 5.xx firmware). Also refresh rate during videocapture is very slow. It's not possible to make nice mp4 video capture! Interesting is that 3gp capture is nice, fast with clear sound, only mp4 capture have a problem...
    2. I don't know why it's not possible to make clean reboot now. (e.g. on FExplorer, reboot). N70 with last firmware during reboot freezes (white screen)
    3. Should be possible to turn off the Nokia sound during N70 starting? I have little childrens and every morning when I turn on my N70 they all awake...
    NOKIA, please, is it possible to prepare new fw?
