Performance enhanced with recent os/firmware update: Benchmarks

Hey, Benchmarked my system using xbench before and after the updates in the same conditions and got a 25% improvement! My original score was 54.36, the new one is 67.53. I do not know much about xbench or benchmarking but the user-interface test went from a 23 to a 47 which im guessing is showing they are making the os faster and more able to handle the new intel processors. Has anyone else ran xbench before or after, or just want to post what there getting for there benchmarking scores. The program xbench is free and can be found here www.xbench.com

They will never issue a rollback to the previous version of the Android OS.

27" iMac very sluggish after recent software/firmware update

I bought my 27" iMac (2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM) maybe 6-7 months ago...and it has had NO problems. Even after updating to Lion. Smooth.
But after the most recent graphics firmware update (Feb 29) and software update (late Feb/ealry March 2012...can't remember exact date)...now my iMac is so sluggish! Running more than one application really makes my iMac run slow. And I'm not talking about Photoshop...I'm talking about Firefox, Safari, Mail, iTunes. Basic ones. Especially bad when I play video...very choppy.
Any clue what's going on? I ran Disk Utilitiy (all good, repaired permissions), Clean My Mac, CCleaner...all say good and healthy. So I am at a loss.
Any help would be greatly be appreciated. I'm still under warranty...but I don't think I need to bring it in do I?
Thanks!

Not Able To Print w/ Lexmark X2600 After Recent Airport Firmware Update

Hi,
So, after the recent firmware update for the Airport Extreme (802.11n), I can no longer print to my printer share. The device is recognized in Bonjour, and I use the correct driver as I did before, but when I send something to the printer, it just reads:
"Connecting to MyNetwork.local...
There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or hold the job and try again."
Now, if I connect the printer directly to my computer and set it up with the same drivers over USB, it works just fine. Can I get some support on this?

Hi,
Have you tried this?
To change the printer’s network settings:
1. Open the printer's embedded Web server.
2. Click the Networking tab. For wireless settings, click Wireless. For IP settings, click IP
Configuration.
3. Change the printer's settings to match the settings of the network, then click Finish.
4. Close the printer's EWS, then disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.
5. The control panel lights will cycle.
The previous procedure is from the Wireless Printer User Guide for your printer.
Best regards,
erico

Problems with waking after firmware update ...

Hi ya'll - quick question.
Did the latest firmware update last night and have noticed that waking the computer from sleep has become a problem, maybe once every three times I try to wake it? The backlight visibly turns on and illuminates the black screen, but the password box dosen't ever pop up, leaving me with a plain cursor. I'll try to hit random buttons (not that I think it'll help, but you know) and the 'Funk' sound plays, so I know the computer is working and is on. I have to hold the power button and restart it everytime. Any reason this might be happening now, after the update? It used to every now and then, and had sllooow wake times before the update, the latter of which has been fixed. The update was performed right and completed itself, etc.
Thanks for any help!

i also have problems waking it up since the efi firmware update! i primarily use the macbook only with an exernal display and wake it up by plugging in the power, lan, display and usb connectors, i.e. quite often, i don't even open the lid. since the firmware update, i regularly get a light blue screen and nothing happens. i then have to restart it through the power button as well.

Recent smc firmware update......

it's not that i'm having any problems and really don't expect to, however, i'm a little concerned about the new update. i know it may stop rsd from occurring, but at what expense. is it simply disregarding a malfunction that is actually taking place, so that in time something more sever may occur.
it's only a concern that i haven't heard on here yet, although i would like to hear what people's opinions are.

I myself have installed it and have not had ay problems...
Here is something that I found for you.
"MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.1
About this update
The SMC Update improves the MacBook’s internal monitoring system and addresses issues with unexpected shutdowns. This update is recommended for all MacBook systems, including those that received warranty repair."

Most recent imac firmware update resets operating system back to snow leopard

I bought this computer when Lion was just coming out, so it still had the snow leopard OS. I have upgraded to Lion OS and updated all my software. This evening I get notice of a firmware update and iPhoto 9.2.1. I just did the install, and my computer is back to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Just tried the Lion recovery disk I made on a USB not too long ago and that does not launch, and my Time Machine backup is showing the state it was before I upgraded to Lion.
Do I have to do everything over again? App store is showing that I have a Lion 10.7.2 available update.

OK I think I figured out what happened. Before I did do the lion OS update I had partitioned my hard drive, so that I still had a small section for snow leopard. I think the firmware update lost the fact that I had my startup disk set as the Lion one and set me back into the snow leopard one. I just booted into the Lion section and everything is still there, so no data lost.
Now that I have done with using snow leopard, I might as well departition the hard drive, and maybe this won't happen again.

Compability with OSX for firmware updates?

Considering a new phone, and keeping the firmware-update from Asha to Belle in mind, will it be (or is it) possible to install new windows phone firmware on your phone from OSX?
I don't have a Windows OS in the house, and would like to keep it that way on pc-level. But with the news of today I wonder if I should stick to Nokia. (I still like the Symbian)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Windows Phone OS and firmware updates are always OTA by either mobile data or WiFi.
Getting apps to the phone is done through the webinterface for the store followed by sending the app by either mobile data or WiFi

Whats with these huge firmware updates???

So i figured i'd only need 8 gb of space on a iphone so i bought a 8gb, but of course you dont actually get 8 gb you get about 7.2 after the OS and apps that are preinstalled. Then these 250 mb firmware updates come along and now 2 make it 500 mb and were not even on 2.1 yet and i;m thinking gezz when 2.1 comes along i'm gonna only have about 6.8 or 6.5 gb left to use.
Has apple thought maybe we should think about how large these updates really need to be so people can actually enjoy the space left on for media and what not?????
Anyone wanna contribute to this tread???

thanks for clearing that up for me, i wasn't sure if it added or replaced it so that makes much more sense to me now.
Would a 2.1 update though add to the exsisting update or does it do the same thing as a firmware up date and replace the existing one???
as far as i've been told 2.0.? are firmware and 2.? are software update, so does this mean more space added.....
....oh and yes i wish i had bought a 16g but at the time the 16 were really hard to get your hands on and a 8g was available without standing in a long line up.
I'm only hoping in 2 years apple will have 80g iPhones that would be awesome!!!!!

Problem with N73 after firmware update

Recently I tried to update the firmware on my Nokia n73. Somehow the cable got disconnected and the phone died. I read everything on the topic here and went directly to the nearest NCS. There they repaired my phone and updated the firmware to V3.0638.0.0.30 (everything else shown after *#0000# is: 30-10-2006, RM-133, Nokia N73 (05)). But after that, I noticed that when I press the multimedia button, it opens directly the music player, instead of a list of applications. Also when I hold down the menu button it shows both the standby icon and the music one. My problem is that I mostly use the camera, not the music player, and it seems (to me) that it slows the phone down (especially when going through the image gallery). So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to close the music player, or at least how to change back the multimedia button to a list of applications. I am using the standard 128mb miniSD. Thanks in advance and cheers from Bulgaria.

OPTIONS ->
- Go to now playing
- Go to Music shop
- Refresh music library

Can no longer use Transfer to SD card with the new firmware update 23.0.1.A.3.12

I just got the latest update for my Z2. My device now has a firmware 23.0.1.A.3.12.
I encountered a problem. I can no longer transfer photos to SD card thru the Transfer to SD Card under Storage.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@Thommo. Oh hi, no. This is just a theme I installed to change the buttons recently. The problem was there before I did this change. As proof, here it is again after removing the theme and applying the default theme of Xperia.
Regarding the SD card write capability permissions, I do not know how to do that really. Can you please show me?
Also, all I did this morning was update the firmware my Z2 based on the email I got from Sony Support and an alert from the Update Centre. I used the PC companion which also alerted to be updated before the download of the firmware began, which I did too. After the successful update, the phone restarted and used it normally.
Then until the notif told me that my storage is more than 75% full, and prompted to transfer files, which I do all the time by the way, but this time, this error occured.

Any more recent uniprocessor firmware update than 5.1.5f2?

I've got a 1.6GHz Power Mac G5, from the original line. I've got the most up-to-date processor firmware that I know of. Is there one I can't find somewhere on the Apple site that's more recent and could fully correct the occasional kernel panic issues I'm having?

Can't really do anything more, haven't seen the issue in a while, have other issues to deal with regarding this machine. Hopefully soon I'll be able to replace with a new iMac.

Sound issues with recent 8.3 update for Ipad mini 2

So recently I purchased an Ipad mini 2 32 gb tablet. I saw there was an software update and processed it right away. That completed fine but what I found that when I was running the new Mortal Combat game there was this occasional crackling sound that was very annoying. I also experience it on some Youtube videos. So I decided to return the unit thinking there was defective hardware. So I got the replacement and it worked just fine at 8.2 I decided not update the software for a week and see what happened. Well it ran Mortal Combat just fine with no crackling. It also ran youtube videos with no problems. So I thought ok, looks like I had a bad unit. Let me load up 8.3 now and I should be good. Well just what I was hoping would not happen, did. The crackling returned and I have very frustrated now. What can I do? Does apple or any one else know about this issue?

I just responded to you on this other thread that references this post: Re: iOS 8.3 a disaster
Happy to try to help take a look!

N86 problem with gps after firmware update

J2ME-apps crashes or hangs with external gps after upgrade to firmware 30.009. This worked before the update.
The phone is a N86 RM484 and external GPS is a Globalsat 359.
The apps in question are GC LIve (http://live.geocaching.com/dl) and a homebrewn app.
When using external gps I only have "external gps" activated in "positioning methods". When using internal gps all options EXCEPT external gps are activated.
"OVI Maps", "Google maps" and "GPS status" all work fine with external GPS.
I've tried to reset the phone with three different methods but none fixes the problem. Methods I've tried: *#7780#, *#7370# and the acrobatic 4-button combo.
I'm all out of ideas, and hope someone has a solution. / Richard

Hi again!
I've used ovi suite to reinstall prior to a reset, and also after a reset. It makes no difference to the problem
What would happen if I wiped the entire built in mass storage (E? There's lots of folders and files there that seems to be untouched regardless of reset method. Could it make things worse?
Other ideas very welcome!
I'm not at all interested in demo versions of games that come bundled with this phone and all private stuff is backed up.

2 problems i have with my N82 (Firmware Update, As...

I have one N82 mobile and i was not able to update its firmware. Everytime i try to update (with Nokia Software Updater v1.4.23en) from version 10.0.046 to 11.0.117 is telling me "Updating Software Fail". It regognizes my mobile and it has downloaded the update from nokia server, but everytime i have tryed to update it fails and it is asking me to retry. I have checked the FAQs and i am sure that i have a valid SIM card inserted, Power/Internet connection is not lost during update, i have removed and inserted again a fully charged battery, and the Device is in Normal profile. Can anyone help me please?
Another problem i have is that i couldn't find where to go if i want to assign an mp3 as a ringing tone for a specific person. When i go to "Contacts>i select a contact>Ringing Tone" it gives me only 2 options. "Download Sounds" & "Default tone". Wasn't suppose to be another option for assigning your own songs?
Thanks for any possible help you can give me!

Hi 123musicv
I had similar problems with NSU v1.4.23en which in my situation was only resolved by un-installing all Nokia applications, cleaning up the registry and re-installing NSU.
Incidentally you can install NSU without PC Suite being present and in this case PC Connectivity Solutions is downloaded at the same time.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

Problems with the E2500 firmware update

I already updated the firmware but all the times there is an interruption in the power electricity supply (and unfortunately we are having too many here ...) I'm loosing the wi-fi signal. When the power electricity is back, the wi-fi network name is not even appearing in the list of available wi-fi.
To restablish the signal I need to take out the power cable for at least 10 seconds and connecting again. It's poping up a Management Mode / Firmware upgrade window and then I need to follow the procedure for the firmware upgrade again. When finishing the process, the wi-fi is available again (I do not need to define anything else, the wi-fi name / password / ... are the same it used to be). sometimes I need to follow this procedure more than once ...
But sometimes is not enough and I need to reset the router, take out the power cable for at least 10 seconds, connecting again ... Interesting to mention tha the wi-fi name / password / ... are already ok (the reset is not affecting such definitions).
But I need to follow nthios procedure two or three times a week due the power electricity issues.
My conclusion is that the firmware upgrade is bringing this issues. What can I do to avoid this problems?

Just to give more information about the comments received and the existing situation:
- the router was always connected to a surge protector
- the surge protector was always connected to a voltage stabilizer
In addition I tried all the suggested corrective actions, including downloading again the FW file.
Nothing is solving / changing the situation.
The UPS would be expensive to be installed for a home use.
The warranty is already expired and I'm leaving outside the USA.
I'm lossing too much time to re-established the wi-fi router set up.... Sometimes I need to try several resets before the Management mode / firmware upgrade windows is poping up.
That seems I'll need to buy a new router. Perhaps I'll need to try a different brand.
If you would have any different approach to betaken, please, let me know.
Thanks all of you for the support provided.
Regards
