Nokia N8 Freezing / hanging

I have purchased the Nokia N8 device on 27-10-2010, after I used this device I found some weak point of this device as below :
1. From time and time the device being Freezing or hanging, so you should force turn off by pressing and hold for 10 second the power button.
2. When you recording the video the flash light is not working.
Please anyone who have good experience about Nokia N series please feed me back about these problem.
Note : The hanging process is major weak issue for Nokia N8.
Solved!

Yes, an international warranty is de rigeur these days. By definition, a "mobile" phone goes with mobile people, who may cross borders! Not having it is another black eye for Nokia, which the company hardly needs (yesterday, its technology chief quit: http://nyti.ms/iL00uH – reportedly because the company's abandoning the Symbian platform).
My defective N8's crashes continue today, with the scariest one yet:
The screen went entirely black with only the battery/connection manager visible in the top right. No combination of clicks, taps or swipes would get a homepage back. Finally something gave me a window that offered a series of choices that didn't do anything, except for one that said "Turn off phone."
With some trepidation, I chose that choice.
Luckily, when I turned it back on a minute later, the home pages and functionality returned.
But as you can see, this is all crazy-making. DO NOT BUY, Mr. Elop. I wonder if he's rethinking his move. (And as a Canadian, he should be instituting an international warranty posthaste!!!)

NOKIA 3710 FREEZING

Photoshop CC and Photoshop 6 Freezing/Hanging

Ok so I have read many threads on this topic and none have been an answer to my problem.
This happens on MacPro with 2 x 2.4Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 24GB of 1066 MHZ DDR3 Ram and an 512Gig SSD, freshly formatted and Photoshop CC loaded and running without any other apps. I also use a Wacom Intuos 5 touch M with driver 6.3.6w3. I also have 3 x iMac 27" top current spec SSD and 32Gig Ram and wacom tablets, Intuos 3 and 4.
This problem occurs normally when selecting a brush to work on a layer mask (size of brush not relevant), once the freeze occurs, the cursor can still be moved around however a brush mark isn't registered. To exit this freezed state it is necessary to click on another application (preferably the finder) and return to photoshop in order to snap it back in to action. Sometimes this problem has to be repeated 2 or 3 times. It doesn't appear to make any difference what size the image is. Often if I open up a flat jpg, grab the clone stamp tool and start to work, there are no marks registered. Once the freeze/hang is exited often the previous brush marks appear altogether. This seems to happen all too regularly, maybe every 15 mins or so, but never consistently spaced out
I have tried all of the things below to solve it:-
1. No 3rd party plug ins running.
2. Ample scratch disk space on second internal Sata drive (500Gb)
3. GPU settings changed to Basic
4. I don't have a third button on my pen to turn off
5. Wiped and re-installed OS X 10.8.4, reinstalled photoshop
6. Made history states greater and less
7. Turned Autosave off and save in background
8. Regenerated new Preferences
I have looked into Activity viewer when this happens and nothing seems obviously wrong. Please help as I thought is was a bug in CS6 so upgrading to CC was looking very attractive until the same problem happens here too.
HELP! HELP! HELP!

Curt, I have a ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB in the Mac Pro, the iMac have NVIDIA GeForce GTS 680MX 2048Mb.
Why would it happen on all of these machines though if they have different video cards?
Very Puzzled!

Windows 7 freezes / hangs when playing video or audio on any media player

I've had this issue since installing Windows 7 (32 bit) over 2 months ago and have been actively seeking a fix for the majority of those two months. In windows XP pro (32 bit), I had no issues whatsoever. The problem manifests itself as a complete hang of all system functions and inability to interact with my computer aside from moving the pointer around.
This only occurs when I am playing some sort of media (mp3, avi, mp4, mkv, etc) on any media player that I had installed at the current time of testing (WMP12, VLC, Realplayer). The initial response is a hang of the system which then can become a freeze if I click around too much during the hang. After approximately 3-5 minutes the problem is alleviated and the system plays catchup with the video/audio sync.
Below is a complete rundown on my system and fixes floating from other threads that I have attempted.
My System Spec:
Windows: Windows 7 Ultimate (32 Bit) Version 6.1 Build 7600
Motherboard: Gigabyte Ds4-X48 Crossfire Ready
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256Bit DDR5
CPU: E8500 Wolfdale (3.16) Core2Duo
Ram: 4GB ( 2x 2GB OCZ Reapers @ PC8500 1066MHZ )
PSU: 600W OCZ GameXStream
HDD - Primary - 1.5TB Seagate
HDD - STORAGE - 1.5TB Seagate + 500GB Western Digital
Audio - Integrated Realtek
Drive Bays: SATA Combo Drive (Samsung) + IDE Lightscribe DVD-MultiRecorder RW
As you can see, my system is more than capable of running Windows 7 and probably just as qualified to captain a space shuttle.
Things I have tried to no avail
- Changing the Power Plan
- Adjusting the overclock of my GPU to factory defaults
- disabling Media Player Network Sharing in services.msc
- Only having WMP12 installed
- Shark007 Codec Pack
-Not having Shark007 Codec Pack
- Undergrading WMP12 to WMP11
- CLEAN BOOT - Freezes/hangs still occured regardless.
- Registry optimization and cleaning
- Playing video after fresh install still causes freezes
- SQMClient/MachineThrottling IS NOT THERE TO BE DISABLED OR DELETED
- Adjusting RAM timing,frequency and voltage in BIOS
- Use Display driver provided by Windows Update for ATI Radeon HD 4870
- Tested several other Catalyst and Display drivers
- Updated Chipset , Audio Driver, Network Driver
- Clean installed 4+ times ( I clean installed inbetween all of the previous attempts listed above)
- Uninstalling programs such as AIM, MSN Messenger, Adobe products, Daemon Tools Lite, Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
-My computer is not eligible for the Intel Matrix Storage update
-Disabling aero
I am now starting to suspect maybe Company of Heroes may be an issue as it is Divx endorsed.
I froze once while typing this up due to wmp12 playing a mp4 music video in the background.
Can anyone recommend a good skin and theme that will make Windows XP look like 7? I'm starting to think that it's my only solution.

Hi,
Thank you for your posting.
As for this system freezing issue, we generally need to analyze the performance monitor logs and memory dump files to locate the root cause. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum because of the nature of forum support. A support call to our product service team is needed for the debugging service. I'd like to recommend that you contact Microsoft Customer Support Service (CSS) for assistance so that this problem can be resolved efficiently. To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;PHONENUMBERS
If you are outside the US please see http://support.microsoft.com for regional support phone numbers.
Having said that, I'd still like to provide the following general troubleshooting steps to see if we can eliminate this problem:
Note: Please perform a complete system backup first. If any unexpected issue occurs, we can quickly restore the system to the current status.
1.    Scan your system to make sure that the system is virus free. Temporarily disable your anti-virus software to see if this problem is gone.
2.    If you have recently installed any software, hardware or drivers, please remove them.
3.    Run Process Explorer to check which processes are using a lot of memories or cause high CPU utilization:
Process Explorer
4.    If the process is a service, you can use these steps to find out what applications are using most of the CPU: Open Task Manager, click on the Processes tab, look for the process that is using the CPU and note its PID (Process ID). Note that you may need to go to the View/Select Columns menu and make sure that PID (Process Identifier) is checked.
Once you have the PID run the following from a command prompt:
tasklist /svc
This should give you the application associated with the PID you identified in the previous step.
However, if the issue still persists, please contact Microsoft Customer Support Service (CSS) for further troubleshooting. I hope the problem will be resolved soon. Thanks!

LabVIEW 6.1 Freeze / Hang – Related to User Interaction / Potentially File I/O

Hi Everyone
As you can see by the title, we are using an archaic version of LabVIEW. This will not change, as the system has been running since 6.1 was new, and it is our philosophy not to touch a running system.
The thing is that it isn’t a running system anymore. Or should I say it’s never been perfect, only that we didn’t notice. Anyhow… Here comes what this is about:
We use LV in a jet engine test environment. Now, a normal engine test would take something like an hour or maybe a maximum of two, depending on the applicable test procedures. This time frame used to cover the majority of tests and we had no problems whatsoever. Recently though, we had an accumulation of engines that caused problems and therefore the tests started taking longer and longer, up to four or even five hours. And that is when the problems started…
LabVIEW would run just like it should, until after a long time it would suddenly freeze / hang upon user interaction. It looks like this could be related to some file i/o, like writing test results to an excel file or alike (“Save”), but I cannot rule out 100% that this impression is wrong. The data, however, will never be saved to the file in cases of a freeze / hang.
To test it and see what happens, we had let the application run over night and write some data and a time stamp to a text file, so we could see if and when it would hang. Nothing happened, obviously because there was no user interaction.
It may be handy to know that we are running LV on a Windows XP SP3, 32Bit system. The O/S doesn’t hang / freeze and everything else carries on working just like it should, it’s only the LabVIEW application as such that hangs (all of it, not individual *.vi’s or loops). Normally, after several minutes the application is back, but TCP and *.xls ActiveX references (refnum, in a global variable) are closed, and need to be re-established manually.
I know this information is very vague and you may need more input to be able to help. Yet it is a starting point.
Thanks for feedback!

Really hard to even begin to diagnose the problem with this data. You mentioned that your wrote to a text file with a time stamp, so I'm assuming from this that the program can be modified (just not upgraded to a newer version)? If so there is a diagnostice utility in the Windows kernel32.dll that might help, if used properly it shows "stuff" going on in your code and in the Windows environment. What we do here is create a little sub-vi that will write a string to the Windows debug "file", and salt these throughout our code, showing when commands are issued, threads are shut-down, etc. Using a free download utility from MicroSoft called dbgVIEW we open a monitoring window behind our code and watch what is happening. It is particularly useful if you are running your application as a exe as it can give you a view into the inner workings without the overhead of writing to a file, etc.

Nokia C7 freeze problem

Hello. I use Nokia C7. All works fine but often when I surf the web browser, use skype, search updates and doing many other things my Nokia C7 freeze and dont (cant) resart. Only option to restart the phone is remove and insert battery. How to FIX this problem?

This problem has nothing to do with applications added or needing software updates. It is purely a hardware problem, there seems to be a fundamental flaw with the design of Nokia phones, and it is very disappointing that they are not more honest about the problem.
My Nokia C7 seems to freeze frequently when processing CPU intensive processes especially, such as trying to watch videos on the BBC iplayer or Youtube, but can happen anytime. The pattern seems to be with these phones (and the N8) that these freezes happen quicker and quicker as time goes on. It is just not good enough to say take the battery out, which is the ONLY way to reboot the phone, do other phone users of different manufacturers have to do this? Not in my experience.
I find it incredible that Nokia, with its dwindling share market, can release these phones without having fully tested them properly. You may have gathered that I feel rather disgruntled with Nokia, I have always had Nokia phones but I am now regretting my decision to start a new contract with this phone. I like it and the features, but what point is there in giving you applications such as the Navigation and the iplayer for example if you can't use them because of freezing.
I will be sending my C7 off for repair next week, in the hope that they have sorted out their hardware issue, but I say beware to anyone else with this phone. If you have had occasional freezing problems, then they will in all likelihood increase as the internal hardware degrades.

Fixed my SL freezes, hanging, beachball

After migrating from Leopard to Snow Leopard (10.6.2) about a month ago, I experienced a constant issue with hanging applications, sporadic freezes with a variety of applications.
I have gone through all the suggestions posted wrt to this issue and for me the following fix worked (so far...) rather perfect. My systems now runs as stable as it did using Leopard. Reinstalling, PRAMMING, VRAMMING, CleanUps, DiskUtility check, S.M.A.R.T. status checks & eventually just using TimeMachine restore did not solve my freeze/hanging/beachball issue
_My solution_: go to ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and put all the plugins you see there into a custom folder (I named mine SwitchedOff). Now move all the plugins to that folder and reboot. Well: now your browsers are decapitated, so I moved
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt &
Silverlight.plugin
back into ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
and restarted the browsers. (now enabling flash & silverlight video options)
Result: no more sporadic freezes, hangs, 30-60 secs. beachball phenomena and basically a stable steady OS I was used too.
FYI: I have not tested moving back the other Plugins into my ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/SwitchedOff folder. They now contain:
DivXBrowserPlugin.plugin
Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin
Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin
Googletalkbrowser.plugin
iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
JavaPluginCocoa.bundle (an alias)
NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave
npdivx.xpt
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
Quartz Composer.webplugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
XStandard.plugin
I will do some testing if re-adding these plugins recreate the freezes etc. but for now this solution works for me and will enjoy a freeze-less OS for now.

You're correct. BTW, these are installed on my SL machines and have never caused any issues for a year and a half (beta-tested SL):
DirectorShockwave.plugin
DivXBrowserPlugin.plugin
DRM Plugin.bundle
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin
Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin
Google Earth Web Plug-in.plugin
Installer Log File
iPhotoPhotocast.plugin
ipxBrowserPlugin
JavaPlugin2_NPAPI.plugin
JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
npdivx.xpt
nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
Quartz Composer.webplugin
QuickTime Plugin.plugin
RealPlayer Plugin.plugin

Freezing/hanging when taking pictures and videos in i phone 4

freezing/hanging when taking pictures and videos in i phone 4 with flash on.

Hi Mister.
Let's try to answer your questions.
- The E5 does not have a red light when you take pictures.
- I don't know about battery life comparing with E6 and E72, just can say on the E5 is quite good. It has a 1200 mAh battery, you should check the others, but also the features of each one, i.e. the E6 is a touchscreen one, so it consumes more power.
- It has a notification white light, around the navigation button.

ITunes 10.4.1 freeze (hang) when webradio stream drop out for any reason.

Hello,
My iTunes freeze (hang) when any webradio stream drop out for any reason; e.g. when ISP renews the IP, the radio station has limited the stream duration (as some do) per connection or wireless is cut off e.g. by closing the lid of the MacBook.
I've to force Quit then iTunes. If I wait (up to an hour for testing) no hung or crash report get generated, iTunes still stay unresponsive.
System: MacBook Pro 2011
OS: OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)
iTunes version: 10.4.1 (10)
iTunes 3rd Party add-on's: None
Any ideas out there?
Cheers - Lupunus

I will commiserate. I have this same issue. In some cases, the stream will stop and restart after 15-30 seconds; repeat. In other cases, the stream will stop, and iTunes will switch to the last radio station in that playlist. Then that station will play for a few minutes, and stop, and sometimes restart. But usually iTunes will hang (spinning beach ball) and must be force-quit.

Who do I stop the freezing hang-up or crashing,it happens daily while playing in FB.

In the last few weeks firefox keeps freezing, hanging up or crashing on me mostly while playing on FB. It will not let me close the page or get out of firefox. After I get it to close & I try to restart it ,it can take anywhere from 2-10 min. before it will reload. Ever at times; when I start up the computer, it can take 10/15min after I try to open firefox, for it to show up. I got a message the other day saying," skype was a malware & creating the problem" should I uninstall skype & reinstall it ? frankly I'm getting pretty much ticked off with this problem, & the meassage from firefox saying"well, this is embarassing" is not helping

This forum is for Firefox support. Since you say that Firefox is working but you are are having problems with installing or using other browsers (e.g. Chrome and Opera) your question is off-topic for this forum.
If you haven't had any success on those browser help forums, you could try a Windows forum, for example,
* answers.microsoft.com (Microsoft Community forums)
* sevenforums.com (Windows 7 Forums)
* windowsbbs.com
You could also try one of the Adobe forums at forums.adobe.com if you think your issue with other browsers is related to an Adobe product.

Windows Premier pro CS5 Program monitor freezes/hangs when video on sequence bar is playing

Hi all,
I have been experiencing program monitor freezes/hang while the audio and the video on sequence bar is still playing. This happens on both HD and SD projects. I have tried many ways but at time it works but at times does not work. i have updated CS5 to 5.02, updated the driver and also quicktime.
Hope someone can help me on this ! Appreciate it.!
This is a complete new system.
The specification as follows: INTEL(R) CORE(TM) i7CPU950@ 3.07GHz 3.56GHz
installed 12.0GB RAM
System at 64bit
Display driver using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the reply. I have updated the graphics driver on Nvidia website as well.It still does not work.
Under project settings: Video rendering and playback, i have both mercury playback engine GPU accelerator and mercury playback engine softway only. it is currently set as mercury playback engine GPU accelerator.
Thanks in advance

Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!

Firefox 3.6 freezing / hanging most of the time. All add-ons disabled. Cache and cookies cleared. Help!
Examples: Freezes for about 20 seconds every launch. Freezes quiting. Freezes switching tabs. Freezes clicking links.

Note that such issues can be caused by security software that blocks Firefox and possibly isn't initialized when you get (got) this issue.
So if it happens again then try to remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I have two intel-era Mac Pros. One at work, another at home. Two months ago both started having same mix of freezes/hangs

I own two Intel-era Mac Pros, one at work, the other at home office. A couple months ago both started having the same problem: a mix of freezes/hangs and weird graphical artifacts showing up on the screens. Usually I need to reboot. Usually a reboot fixes the problem for a while until it recurs. If it was just one computer, I'd figure disk problem or graphics card. But the fact that both have been affected at the same time makes me suspect some software issue or possibly a trojan/virus. Has anyone seen something like this? Or have any advice?

The OS is still @ 10.4.8?
FBDIMMs tend to fail over time due to heat stress and more so if not kept cooler than 70*C
Helps to run SmcFanControl @ 900 rpm - esp in warmer weather
Monitor the system with Hardware Monitor, it is more accurate and thorough though not as "cute" as some.
Both have OEM 7300GT or X1900, which requires constant cleaning of dust.
We aren't mind readers so if you want, then add more details, the System Profile but w/o the serial number.
Maybe you install the same updates and programs and that is why.
Yes you could do a clean install on a fresh drive.
Maybe your drives are years old - and it never hurt to clone the system regularly for backup and maintenance, run Disk Warrior instead or in addition to Disk Utility. And take advantage of new faster drives.
No it may not be Flash based malware but then Apple isn't supporting pre-Snow Leopard as much if at all. They did offer a limited fix for recent malware.
