Proposed Fix for the Gradient Problem (programmers please read)

I think I realised a solution for the problem.
The problem, as I see it:
a great number of the screens have brightness and/or colour distortion. It is more severe on some machines than others and some people are more sensitive to it than others.
A solution:
A simple background compensation utility. It would let the user manually calibrate the screen in red, green, and blue channels. the user would choose a channel and define multiple horizontal and vertical gradients over hot areas of the screen. That way we could calibrate our screens to the darkest spots in each colour channel. The screen would end up dimmer overall but at least it would be even -- and we could then compensate for much of the dimness by increasing the brightness slider (although few 'graphics people' run their screens at full brightness).
Since OS X has total control over every pixel displayed, this should be a simple, small application to write. It's just too bad that I'm not nearly smart enough to know where to begin!
Now, if some of you smart people reading this know how, please, please get to it cause I also don't want to return my Mac.
Cheers

No hard feelings. Just having some fun with ya. I have been following this issue on the before mentioned post for the last 2 days now and remember seeing this fix of yours along with a few other creative ideas as well. Glad it works for you but I don't think Apple should leave us to fix their problems with super glue, duck tape or what ever.

It's all good fun thanks for the link. I certainly agree that apple shouldn't leave us to devise our own workarounds for a potentially faulty product. Now that I have addressed and fixed the antenna issue I can say that I am completely satisfied with my iPhone 4. I don't plan on putting a case on it but I think I'll spend another $29 on front and rear shields so that I can at least set it down without fear of scratching it. Thanks

Likely someone does but Apple has not stated if/wehn.

Then don't use the repair program unless you are actually having an issue.

What model of Mac? I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue. From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs? Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

Is there a fix for the bluetooth connectivity problems with iPhone 5S and ISO 7.0.4?
I am having problems connecting the BT Audio and the handsfree phone connectyion is unreliable in 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer XL.
All worked OK with ISO 6.

Hello CraigNicholson
You would need to sync with iTunes to get that process to work for you. Check out the article below for more information on how to resolve that issue to get the proper token to use Push Notifications again.

A fix for the crash problem.

Firefox has been extremely annoying on an XP machine with it's constant crash reports requiring uninstall and reinstall several times till it starts working again. However, periodically repairing Firefox was worth the headache for the benefit of Firefox’s performance. Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 8 was installed hoping it contained the fix for the crash report problem; it didn't. BUT, the new crash report post-mortum file list provides another means to identify a probable cause. The file list was discovered after about the third crash and it was noted that Firefox was attempting to load an internet filter dll file from C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM instead of C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 which had the correct version. Evidently, the internet filter program update placed the newer version dll in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and did nothing with the older version dll in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM or the registry mapping. A copy of the newer version dll was placed in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and it has been smooth sailing with Firefox ever since. Thanks for adding the post –mortum file list; it provided a means to identify and fix the problem. Firefox is working great and the snail’s pace Internet Explorer 8 has been retired. Thanks again!

''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

Another fix for the resetting problem

I don't know if this has been posted, but I tried a few fixes and didn't found this one, so I hope it helps. I have only tried in Windows XP, but it should be similar for other OS
-Get your iPod in Disk mode.
-Connect it to your PC.
-On Windows Explorer, look for the iPod and open it.
-Delete iPod Control. It's a hidden folder. I read that the problem is caused by videos, so deleting only them should work.
-Open iTunes and restore iPod normally.
-It will reset and work as usually.
I have only tried this once, so please post your opinion to improve the guide :P

Nice ... I'll have to bookmark this in case it happens to me again. Sounds plausible at least, I'd like to hear what happens when others do this.

Has there been a fix for the speakerphone problem?

I recently had to return two N97 handsets due to the fact that the speakerphone on the handsets worked poorly. Contacts I called using speakerphone repeatedly told me I was "breaking up." Speakerphone volume was also mediocre, compared to other N series handsets I have owned. When the problem occured with the second handset I settled on returning the phone and waiting until I knew more about the problem and whether Nokia was aware of it and preparing a fix for it. I no longer own the phone and have gone back to using my trusty and very excellent, but old N958GB.
Can someone/anyone tell me whether this particular bug on this handset has even been identified by Nokia and whether it has been fixed? Is the problem with the speakerphone a software issue or is this a hardware/mic/factory issue? If this is an isolated problem and it was simply a "bad batch" I would be prepared to buy the phone agan, but based on my reading on this forum, this is not a completely isolated problem.
Basically, I'm waiting to find out whether (a) Nokia knows this is a problem, (b) it can be fixed via software upgrade, or (c) this is a design flaw with the handset that's not fixable remotely. Any help users can give would really be greatly appreciated, as I would love to purchase the phone and update my handset at long last.

Hi
Does anyone know anything about this? At least, can anyone who had an update that has improved the phone say whether the update solved that problem, if they were experiencing the problem with the loudpspeaker before?

Has a fix for the audiobook problem on ipod classic been released yet?

My fiance just gave me an ipod classic 160g for valentines day. I turned it on and uploaded my large collection of audiobooks just to find out that it throws them all into a pool of chapters. Is this something I am doing wrong or has apple still not published a fix for this? A bit of searching shows that several users have faced the same frustration.

Check some of the audiobooks in your iTunes Library. Use File/Get Info/Info. Are the basic fields completed, such as the Track Number and total tracks, the Disc Number and total number of discs. Without that information, the iPod will have difficulty in sorting them into the correct order.

New 4th Gen. iPod Nano 16GB. Plugged in for the first time. PLEASE READ!

I got the new 4th generation for christmas and i plugged it in and something pops up about registering and i clicked later.
and then it tells me that I have to Read and agree to the software.
So I read through all of that and at the end, there is a box you can check to say that you have read and agreed. I did that, but then you have to click a button to confirm/continue im guessing. Well, my problem is, that my computer screen is too small for me to see the button, in other words, I cant confirm/continue and am stuck there, I cant do anything else with the ipod with out continuing this step. I have tried to Maxamize the screen and dragging over. nothing seems to work.
Is there any other day to agree and confirm to this? If there isn't, is there a way that I can get to the confirm/continue button?
I really need to use my iPod.
I Have windows Xp.
PLEASE REPLY.
my iPod is important.
I have tried changing my screen resolution.

you have a Windows computer -- that's the problem.
it would work just fine on a Mac.

Future Things we want Rim to Fix on the Blackberry Playbook (RIM Please read and reply) Paying customers need some feedback.

Since we all purchased this item for the Flash on the Go experience let make sure we have the following in the next OS update please
Stereo Bluetooth (Can't sync with my Car Stereo) Ford Focus
for those long road trips
NetFlix App paying subscriber
Hulu App paying subscriber
Scapbook App that was premiered before the release of the BB playbook
Android
Please add to the list so Rim will read. Paying $499.99 to 699.99 for something that is a paperweight because of the things we can't have and there are list of websites we can't even access why?

Also VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!
We need a FILE MANAGER ASAP!
this to me is crucial cause i cant manage anything in terms of files right now on my playbook and i have 64GB of data i could store but there is no point of filling it all up if i cant even manage any files as of right now. its to the point that i rather store stuff in my BB smartphone than in my PB! which makes no sense!
Also,
-auto correction would be nice
-view pictures in portrait mode
-themes on PB would be great
-wi-fi music sync just like on my BB smartphone would be very good as well
-a .rar and .zip file opener and extractor for downloaded files
-BBM BBM BBM BBM! please BBM!
-Social feed app! that ill be amazing! or bridging the one i have on my BB smartphone!
-BB protect for PB is going to be necessary and mandatory over time! very important!
for now that will be all...

My fix for the wifi problem

My wifi on my new unibody MBP was acting up. At first, the connection was dropping out after sleep, then it was slowing down, much more so than my iMac on the same network. Then, the internet stopped working altogether. Meanwhile, my iMac wifi was woirking just fine. Diagnotics showed the MBP was connecting to the router, but the internet wouldn't connect.
I called Apple Care and they had me connect the internet cable directly to the MBP. As expected, the internet worked fine. Then to my surprise, after disconnecting the cable and running the AirPort diagnostic again, the wifi started working again! Hurray!
Hopefully this will help some of you suffering souls out there.

I found the solution after many many many attemps.
It's not a MBP problem, it's your wireless router.
1- Set your BEACON between 20 and 50. D-LINK router for example use 100 has default value. It's too long.
2- Change your channel. D-link default is 6. Use whatever channel. I use 10.
Hope you enjoy!

Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Because soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not.

Question
Do you have a fix for the problem with Avast. Your upgrade process notifies me that it is not compatible with Avast so I always delete it. Soon I will just start using IE since Avast has worked fantastic for me. But I would rather not. Please help.

Avast needs to update their Web Rep add-on for Firefox 5.0.
You can look at the new pre-release version of Avast for Firefox 5.

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding." I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

Unlikely. Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.
