Possible solution to the N97 screen freezing

Hi everyone,
I decided to open a nokia account to explain how i solved my troubles with the n97. First of all, sorry in advance if I don't write a correct english.
My user experience with N97 wasn't bad at all at the very beginning. When everybody seems to have problems, my firm 12 and 20 worked fine, no serious issues (however not perfect). It all begin a couple of months ago, my n97 didn't have the response i was use to. The screen didn't work, it was almost permanently freeze, as the menu key. I couldn't even switch off the alarm every morning and enter the pin was a hard work. The last couple of weeks i thought it had a hardware failure, but i've done several hard resets and mass memory formattings, and then it worked fine again, but only for a few minutes...And then I got it....It worked fine until i connected it to the Ovi Suite and some "help software" was automatically installed on the C: of my phone.
That is the point when my phone begins to have several performance issues. So I tried to unistall all this amount of software and my phone seems to work fine again. I don't remember the whole list of programs, i remember something like "Contacts DS group", "SMS DS..", "Controller service",etc... In fact I uninstalled everything I had in C: except "API Bridge" (The only program i had before connecting N97 to Ovi Suite).
I don't know if this is a general solution or if it's my solution to this kind of troubles, but if I can save the pain to somebody, this post has a point!
Thanks and greetings!
PD:By the way, if anybody from Nokia reads this: I see that lots and lots of people have problems of any kind, also, the phone has lack of RAM, lack of C: memory, even working fine the screen response is often annoying, in some areas the N95 was better, the loudspeaker is terrible, etc.... I think that a few apology words from the vice-president is not enough at all. If they HAVE BEEN PAID with all our money and the device is not by far what they claimed to be, and simply DOESN'T WORK, we need something else. Take responsability, you can sell a mistake, but then DO SOMETHING!!You can't DO NOTHING!Offer a discount on a new model, an exchange, whatever, use your brainstorming team!It would be a clever and polite hand played by nokia that customers would appreciate. I know that this is a way to acknowledge the failure of that device, but ...wouldn't be nice a little of honesty facing the evidence?

Second day and no freeze from sleep.

Possible solution to the black screen problem

My macbook air is 13-inch, 128GB
OS is os x 10.8.4
My problem is:
After closing the lid, the mac goes to sleep. And after a time which is longer than the value of standbydelay setting (to know what is standbydelay plz refer to https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages /man1/pmset.1.html), open the lid, then the screen goes black directly, no login screen, but the backside logo is lighting, the keyboard is lighting, and the screen has faint light, not complete dark.
My solution:
The following is useless or just temporal
1. Reset SMC or PRAM
2. Select startup disk
3. Reinstall OS X
4. Delete sleepimage file
The following method is not good, so i don't give it a try
pmset -a hibernatemode 0 (disable Safe Sleep, which can result in data loss)
The following is what I use and useful until now
Click System Preferences
Click Power Saver
Click Lock to lock it
Import plz Note: If u reboot it, u need to Lock it again. Because the system unlock it after a reboot or shutdown-start.
Apparently, it's another OS bug which is so ugly. Does apple have a test team?
Try it and check it for a few days
If it works, plz post it to let others and me know

Is it possible to customize the halftone screen/angle used by the HP Laserjet 5000/5100

Hi
When sending an image to print on our 5000s and 5100s I'd like for the printer to apply a halftone screen of 85 (frequency) and 45 (angle). However, the driver properties only has two settings - Standard and Enhanced.
I took a look at the PPD and found the following:
*%=== Halftone Information =================
*ScreenFreq: "106.0"
*ScreenAngle: "45.0"
*ResScreenFreq 300dpi/300 dpi: "60.0"
*ResScreenAngle 300dpi/300 dpi: "45.0"
*ResScreenFreq 600dpi/600 dpi: "106.0"
*ResScreenAngle 600dpi/600 dpi: "45.0"
*ResScreenFreq 1200dpi/1200 dpi: "180.0"
*ResScreenAngle 1200dpi/1200 dpi: "45.0"
I had hoped that simply by changing the screen frequencies to "85.0" it would do the trick (since 85 does not appear to be outside of the printers' capability). However, it resulted in no changes to the prints. I know (or at least think) the changes were "seen" by the print driver because I changed some of the text that it uses in the property boxes of the print driver and those changes appeared (e.g. I changed "Standard" to "Standard 2" for one of the halftone descriptions).
My question is... can I customize the frequency/angle used or are these values fixed regardless of changes made to the PPD?
Thank you.
Mark

What was the answer to this excellent question, please?

You cant unlock your phone unless you put in your password. It may be possible that the apple store could do something about it.

Is it possible to debug the selection screen???

Hi Frdz,
Is it possible to debug the selection screen.
eg: if i want to know what is happening in PBO and PAI modules of the selection screen i am not able to debug that.
Even in code if i click on MODULES present in PBO and PAI modules it is saying MODULE doesnot exist!!!!. So i can't put the break point. even if i press /h it will go to Report events like INITIALIZATION, AT SELECTION-SCREEN but not PBO and PAI modules!.
Also what is the meaning of exclamatory mark here(Before select option name)
MODULE !SO_UDATE.
MODULE !SO_UNAME.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Hi Vinod,
Double click on the module and then put the break point for the first statement of it. It will work.
Reward points if useful.
Thanks,
Khan.

Is it possible to print the current screen in Module pool program(Dynpro)?

Is it possible to print the current screen in Module pool program(Dynpro)?
I create a Module pool program , and customer hope can print the screen when they click print button, Is it possible?

Does the customer want a screen shot or what? Please elaborate on your requirement.
Maybe you should create a smartform first, which is called when one clicks on print button. But in fact, we need a bit more info than this.

Is it possible to have the "lock screen" stay lit up while I am charging my iPhone 4S?

Is is possible to have the "lock screen" stay lit up, and not go dark, while I am charging my iPhone 4S? I would like to turn off the sounds and vibrate but still be able to see the clock and see if any new messages come in.
Also, is there a setting or an app that will turn off all my sounds and vibrate at a given time, say 10pm and then turn it back on at 7am?

No and no.

I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. Any ideas?

Reset the SMC and PRAM, if the issue continues then you likely have a failing GPU (hardware) that requires repair. To be sure take it in and have it professionally assessed.

Is it possible to replicate the home screens from an ipad to an iphone?

is it possible to replicate the home screens from an ipad to an iphone?

Not really, as the iPad has more screen real estate & can thus show more icons, 24 vs 20 for the iPhone.

Is it possible to disable the Welcome screen?

Is it possible to disable the Welcome screen?

Assuming the answer is yes, the next question is for what version?
Assuming the answer is 8, there doesn't appear to be a way.
Assuming the answer is 7 or earlier, sure!

Finally a SOLUTION for the black-screen problem!

It took me almost a MONTH to find a solution to this wide-spread problem - and I had to do it by myself.
I've got a Qosmio x300 (about 18 months old) and started having the black screen / lock-down problem about 6 months ago but it was sporadic. When it started getting worse, I took it in for repair, made sure it was cleaned religiously, had both a cooling pad and household fan directed at it to eliminate any possible overheating issue, made sure all of the *Toshiba* drivers were up to date according to their site, etc... The problem kept getting worse - to the point where I couldn't even open a browser without the dumb thing crashing. VERY frustrating to say the least.
Finally I gave up - I removed the nVidia driver that ran the GeForce 9700M GTS video card and used the standard VGA driver. No more lock downs, but it limited what I could do because the on-board memory wasn't being utilized. I re-installed the *Toshiba* drivers for the card and presto - lock-downs again.
Fed up, I went directly to the nVidia download page and chose to have it automatically detect my card. Now, granted, it says to try to use the OEM versions of graphics, but Toshiba's drivers are FLAWED! I installed the driver suggested directly from nVidia, and what do you know? Full use of the card again and not a single crash!
I hope all of my frustration, and the solution that resulted from it, can help someone else not have to waste time, money, and hair on their heads as it did with me. =) The sad part about it all - this is a TOSHIBA flaw that affects a wide range of systems and models - and nothing has or is being done about it.
Good luck! =)

Which version of the nVidia driver did you use?

A possible solution for the folder exclamation or folder! problem

This worked for Windows XP. Don't know if it will work for the Mac but it may.
Three days ago my wife’s iPod, 4th gen 40gb, stopped working. I got the folder exclamation icon (or folder! as some have described it). I hooked it to my laptop and had no joy with it. The system (XP) would see it sometimes as a removable and sometimes as a hard drive. Disk Manager saw it a couple of times but it always took about an hour for it to show up. I messed with it about 5 hours the first night and then decided to take it to the Apple Store the next day. The guys at the Genius Bar had the same problem, this time on a Mac. Told me it was out of warranty and that the best I could do was find someone who could repair it. I’m a tech and I don’t want to mess with it but I’m not going to pay someone $200+ to replace what is essentially a laptop hard drive. So I kept plugging away and researching on the net. I’ve seen a lot of posts concerning the icon as well as a few concerning the partitioning of the drive. I’ve even seen where some people are advocating opening the iPod and shaking the drive which is never a good idea. Nothing really seemed to help so I kept working on it myself.
I did find a solution and it takes a bit of time. It involves deleting the current partition and formatting it again. Since I’m using this on XP I had to format the partition as a Fat32. In order to do this I had to use the Knoppix operating system because Microsoft limited XP’s ability to format Fat32 partitions to 32GB. If you have an iPod that is less than 32gb you may be able to just format it using XP. I also couldn’t get XP to delete the partition so using Knoppix worked out very well since it has a program called QTParted on it that works like Partition Magic. Knoppix is free and does not have to be installed. It runs entirely off of your CDRom drive. If you have about an hour to try this I’d be interested in whether it works for anyone else.
I believe the problem that most people are having comes from the fact that the Fat32 file system is not good for keeping a “clean” hard drive. It tends to leave bits and pieces around and if you update a lot it can affect the hard drive’s performance. I know that Restoring using the updater is supposed to fix this but it appears that the updater software does a quick format. That won’t always fix the problem. By following what I did you will blow away the existing partition and create a new one and format it to the Fat32. This effectively makes it a “clean” hard drive.
Before I walk you through this I just wanted to say that I’ve purposely blown my wife’s iPod away 4 times to make sure that this works. Works like new now and did so after each time I blew it away. You should have seen her face when I did it.
The things you will need and need to do are:
CD Burner (you need to be able to create a disk from an ISO Image
Blank CD
Download a copy of Knoppix 4.0 from http://www.knoppix.com
Download the current version of iPod updater http://www.apple.com/iPod/download/
Make sure your system can boot from CD-Rom (Check your system docs)
About an hour of your time
1. Using your software of choice, burn the Knoppix image to your CD.
2. Place your iPod in Disk Mode. You do that by resetting the iPod and , on 4th gen at least, once it resets immediately hold down the Select+Play/Pause buttons. You should see it say Disk Mode at the top of your screen. Not sure how to do that on other iPods but I figure if you’ve gotten this far you will be able to figure it out.
2. Shut your system down and place the Knoppix cd in your cdrom. Make sure your system will boot from CD
Note: If you are using a laptop you may not be able to use the mouse by default with Knoppix. You can try to enable it when you first start Knoppix. You do this by typing the following at the Boot: prompt.
Knoppix pci=irqmask=0x0e98
If that doesn’t work for you then you may need to hook another mouse to your laptop.
3. Once Knoppix is up go to the K button (located like the start button on XP) and go to the system group. You will see a program called QTParted. Start that program.
4. On the left of the QTParted screen you will see the hard drives on your system. One of them should be your iPod. It should say something like /dev/sda1. Click on that device. In the bottom on the left side for Drive Info I was given the information that it was an Apple iPod and the capacity. Don’t know if everyone will get that but it stands to reason that you should.
5. You should now see the iPod’s partition information on the right side of the screen. I don’t know about anyone else’s but my wife’s had 37mb free and that turned out to be important. Make a note of any unallocated space you may have and keep it for the next step. Highlight the partition and then delete it. Once deleted you will need to go to the upper left corner of the screen. There is a button there to Commit changes that you have made. Click on this button and wait for the process to end.
6. Now to create a new partition. In the right panel right click again on the drive. Select create partition. It will ask you what type of partition you want to create. Select Fat32 and where it gives you the option for the partition size, use the slide bar to leave the amount of space free that was unallocated in step 5. The reason for this is that when I first partitioned my wife’s I used all of the available space and the iPod didn’t like it. Once you have the size set hit OK (or whatever it is to continue). Go again to the upper right and hit the Commit button. Wait for the changes to happen and then shutdown your system, remove the Knoppix cd and then boot again as normal.
7. Once your system has rebooted start the iPod updater. Once it asks you to plug in your iPod connect your iPod and you should be able to Restore it.
As I said I did this 4 times to make sure it worked and each time both the updater and iTunes saw the iPod with no problems.
At this point you should have your iPod back up and running. I apologize if I haven’t been very detailed here but I’m at work and typing this from memory. I wanted to get this out now while I’m thinking about it because I’m getting ready to go away for a couple of months and won’t have time to do this at home.
Let me know if this works for anyone.

mythic: You do NOT have to use FAT32. You don't even have to delete and recreate the partition. All you have to do is format the hard drive of the iPod. That's it. Your procedure will work even if you format the new partition as NTFS.
But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself.
I've done this exact same thing a hundred times, and I never used Knoppix to do it. All you have to do is:
1. Force the iPod into Disk Mode as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 (note that there's a different procedure for 3G and older iPod's!)
2. Start the iPod Updater (on an XP box). Having the Updater open will prevent iTunes from auto-launching and trying to screw around with the iPod.
3. Connect the iPod. It'll show up as a normal drive letter on the PC (if the PC crashes at this point, that's a Windows specific problem, not an iPod one).
4. Use the Disk Management tool (located in Control Panel->Admin Tools->System Management) to format. Doing this as NTFS is perfectly fine. Do not do a quick format.
5. After the format, go back to the updater and hit Restore.
It works every time. I've posted this like a thousand times, but nobody ever seems to pay attention.
Why does it work? It's simple, really. The Updater's Restore process is broken if there are bad sectors in certain locations. Formatting the iPod's partition like that causes it to do a scan for bad sectors. That's why the format takes so long (quick format skips this scan). The reason NTFS works fine is because one of the things the restore process actually does is to rewrite the iPod's partition table, and in the process it converts that NTFS space back into a FAT32 space. So really it makes no difference what that partition is, Restore will overwrite it anyway.
For information's sake, what the Restore process actually does is to write a disk image onto the iPod's drive. This disk image itself is tricky, but the Restore procedure is not particularly complex. You can even extract that image and write it to the iPod yourself in Linux using dd. That works just as well.
Anyway, when the drive won't write to a specific sector, then the Restore program freaks out. Formatting will remap the unwritable sectors and fix the problem. It's the bad sector remapping that's important here, not the partition layout or the filesystem type. Fix the drive problem and the Restore will work.

Invalid ELF Heder [possible solution, for the unlucky]

well i duno whre to post this, but whatevr..
[woffle]
yesterday i found that for whatever reason a lot of apps stop working ,
and instead started complaining about libc.so..6 having an invalid ELF Header... [?] i dunno, that was before and after the upgrade to the 2.5 version...
anyay, i googled it and found a few random users with this problem, so i knew it had nothign to do with anything.. prolly just the unlucky ones lol..
[possible solution]
anways... i managed to fix it [i think] by linking /usr/lib/libc.so.6 to /lib/libc.so.*2.5 instead of /usr/lib/libc.so
[add]
/usr/lib/libc.so is an ld-script btw. duno if it should be that way..
i'd file a bug report, but as i said.. it just happened out of teh blue, i did no sys up/down-grades , compiles, nothing... apart form install kdebase to get kate...

Unless you get that WRT54G for free or next to free, pass on it and pick up an old apple WAP off eBay or similar site. Like you my iPad has a connectivity problem with the WRVS4400N running iOS 4.2.1, where it didn't have trouble with iOS 3.2.2 and ran fine for five months.
My solution at the office was to spur a second router off my DSL router just for the iPad. The first was a WRT54G that had to be set to only one 802.11 protocol to keep the iPad reliably connected, but swapped it out for an old airport extreme that I kept on after testing it to be good. With a home network like you describe, I would run a subnet off the WRVS4400N just for iPad using an apple WAP (the configuration app for Windows is easy to use).
Good luck.
