Reddit forum for discussion of HP Envy Phoenix PCs

Hi, I just bought an Envy Phoenix 850se (scheduled to be delivered next week). I'm not seeing a lot of information about these PCs and HP's forums are kind of a mess, so I created a subreddit for discussion of these PCs. You can find it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hpenvyphoenix/

I agree, the forums are kind of a mess. In particular, I noticed that one of the "experts" -- Big_Dave -- has a tendency to answer questions even when he has no idea what the answer is. It's pretty annoying.

  • Forum for discussions around "My Oracle Support"

    Since there isn't a forum specifically for "My Oracle Support" what do people think about having one created.
    There are forums both here and in the MOS communities for just about every other product that Oracle has what about one for MOS on http://forums.oracle.com?
    Any value in it?

    The question (at least in my little mind) is "Why do people think that Oracle should provide the forum to air Oracle's laundry?"Possibly because it would encourage them to provide a better service to paying support customers and listen to what they need and that that would ultimately be beneficial to Oracle?
    When Oracle do not provide a public forum for Oracle users to discuss their experiences and lock threads when people do discuss their experiences tends to suggest that, yes they notice the discussions on this site and that they do not want those experiences to become public, because in general they are not positive experiences.What makes you think Oracle Support will listen here? They feel they have an appropriate forum.

    I think in the long run Oracle's stance on the support upgrade and their efforts to keep it quiet will only hurt Oracle.I agree.
    But then again, perhaps they believe they provided us with appropriate opportunity to provide feedback.
    Indeed, they have held several public forums asking for feedback (in particular for input on how to design the new Certify system), some of which I advertised for them, AND NO ONE CAME. There were dozens of excuses provided when I contacted individuals to encourage participation.
    If they provide facilities and resources and we ignore them, why should they (MOS) make any effort to come to a location that they have told us they do not officially monitor.
    Indeed, we have been told several times that MOS/MOS-C and Forums are separate. And the moderator here is trying very hard to keep them separate as well.
    >
    What is worrying is we have seen a similar attitude during the various forums upgrades where useful features are continually removed and features no one wants are added and scalability goes down. It begins to look like an institutionalized attitude of not listening.Bi-directional. There is truly a mutual attitude of not listening.
    For example - you claim 'no one wants those features'. Yet, those features were, and are, wanted by some - specifically by the Applications community that is not at all well represented in OTN Forums.

  • Embedding videos on a forum for discussion

    I would just like to know if I can embed a video on a forum (not a link to the video) with flash player.  If so how do I do it?

    Most forums (like this one) use "embed code" to play videos from another source as opposed to actually hosting the video. This is a "double edged sword" for forum mods. Allowing users to put video directly in the forum is a big drain on bandwidth, especially with a forum the size of Adobe's, so they usually don't allow it. On the other hand, some sites aren't too happy with people embedding code on other sites that drains THEIR bandwidth.
    YouTube is ok with it but Google is the largest entity on the web, so they can handle it.  Other video sites may block "hotlinking" to hosted vids.
    The Flash Player itself doesn't have the ability to embed anything, as it's just a player.  Usually the "embed code" for sharing is added to the page for uploaded videos by the site administrator(s).
    Depending on the forum, they will usually have a click to embed option (like here)
    Some sites have a block on video embedding. Apple's support forums is a good example. You can embed pictures, but the video button is disabled.

  • Is there a forum for discussing basic cad programs

    I used to use a basic cad program called floorplan(on windows). As it was an 8 bit version it stopped working on windows 7 so I ended up with the old PC set up just to use that.
    Having become an Apple convert I want to get rid of all the old Microsoft stuff but want a basic uncomplicated program which lets me do basic floor plans as well as the occasional 2D drawing for building projects. this means I want to be able to see the angle the line is being drawn at, the length of the line etc.
    there are plenty of programs out there but how do I test them without wasting money on ones that are either to complicated for my needs or to simple to do what I need?

    No, and there won't be until the final version of it comes out.

  • Best Forum for Software Update Installation Installation

    What is the (better or best) forum for discussing problems involving the failure to install Microsoft updates (for IE 11, .NET Framework 3.5.1, and Windows 7)? (Not sure why I am getting security updates for .NET Framework 3.5.1 when I have 4.5.1 installed
    according to "programs and features" but....)

    I'd probably ask them over here.

  • Sorry Catherina, for discussing the iriver h10 2

    I'm sorry for starting a thread about the iri'ver h0 20GB but I figured that people would want to discuss it... as it is an interesting and surprisingly cheap alternati've to the ipod 20 GB, I could also have thrown in a question for discussion about the Zen Neeon, but for one, It doesn't have a release date in the United States and for two it has the same capacity as the zen micro, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but doesn't say much for the innovation of creative products. I would like to know about the creative neeon, but nobody, including sources on the web, has any information about it So... not to be inflammatory, but I would like to reopen the discussion, talking about the neeon and about the iri'ver h0 and iri'ver's omition of any 20GB products in it's new product line... hopefully, it's a equally interesting thread and it won't get locked.

    Plucky wrote:it has the same capacity as the zen micro, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but doesn't say much for the innovation of creative products.
    How is this related to creativity? The Neon uses a Microdri've, which is currently at a 5/6Gb limit. Creative, iPod, iRi'ver etc. don't make these dri'ves, they come from the specialist dri've manufacturers like Seagate, Hitatchi etc.
    Also this is a Creative forum, and it's neitquette to stay on-topic within a forum. There's an off-topic forum for discussing off-topic items.

  • Windows 7 64bit USB 3.0 driver for HP ENVY Phoenix 810-200nc

    Hello,
    I bought HP ENVY Phoenix 810-200nc with windows 8.1preinstaled. I wiped up win 8 and install windows 7 proffesional 64 bit, but USB 3 dont working (mouse, keyboard its ok, but external disk no), USB 2 it's absolutely ok.  THX.

    Can you post the PCI\VEN character string for the USB device that lacks a driver? 
    The following image is an example. Right click any device without a driver and select properties to invoke the properties window. See the cues I pointed out in the Properties window to get to the PCI\VEN character string.

  • Discussion Forum for One-to-One Training?

    Is there a discussion forum set up yet for Apple's one-to-one personal training service? I can't seem to find it in the forums list. If there isn't one, I would like to request/recommend that one be created.

    I thought Apple had people who skimmed these forums for suggestions/recommendations/complaints and in some cases to offer solutions?
    I don't think it will do much good to talk to the manager of a local store, when what I want to do is suggest changes to the architecture of the scheduling system. For example, it would be nice if we could check on availability of appointment times without first having to cancel an existing appointment.
    Also, it would be nice if we could set our browsers to remember our membership numbers so that it isn't necessary to dig out the membership card and transcribe by hand a 9 or 10 digit number every time you want to schedule an appointment. Or, alternatively, maybe we could just use our email addresses and a password to log into the system, completely obviating the need to use a membership number at all? I mean, Apple knows which membership numbers correspond to which email addresses. (that felt good -- I've been itching to use the word "obviate" for weeks now)
    All of this is seems to be managed by Apple corporate, not the local stores. You have to log into the Apple website to schedule appointments.

  • 8.1 64 bit Desktop Envy Phoenix Slow running system

    I just purchased the »HP ENVY Phoenix 810-130qe CTO Desktop PC
    I have updated all required updates, updated firmware for router and modem. The system is running 8.1 64 bit, in Windows 11. It is continiously freezing on webpages. it stops  scrolling to reload, This problem is in hotmail.com (direct from explorer), myfitnesspal.com, facebook, foxnews.com. It is becoming very frustrating on a very expensive desktop directly purchased from HP. My husband has a new ASUS 8.1 and has no problems with downloads or uploads or freezing. I am within my 20 day return of this system. And I did return this same system a month ago due to this same issue. Please help in this. If Windows 11 and 8.1 are having issues, please let the consumer know that it is being worked on.

    Update!      so far 2+ hours and not a single freeze or slow load.
    I was on  Microsoft.com forum site:   
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-iewindows8_1/internet-explorer-with-windows-81-very...
    And I believe I've got the help to fix the problems.  see link above. 
    The problem is HP SimplePass, specifically, OPBHOBrokerDsktop.exe and HPSimplepassBHOBroker. Killing both of those processes solved the problem. They are running by default on the new machines.
    I uninstalled HP SimplePass and all is good.
    A web search of SimplePass Windows 8 brings up hundreds of hits where people are having difficulty with it working on Win8.1.  Fact is, working or not it's killing performance in a big way.
    Woohoo!!!    so far so good!           After hours this week working with internet provider, router, and HP.    Simple answer!!       Hopefully HP can work on the issues in HPSimplePass,   but in the mean time I"m not running on my system.

  • HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1420t CT slows down 100x after 30 minutes of startup, requires constant reboot

    Windows 8, now Windows 8.1 does the same. After about 30 minutes everything is so slow.
    For example: at first start, start up Control Panel is less than 1 second. After 30 minutres, Control panel takes 1Min 45 seconds to open. A Internet Explorer search goes from 1 second to over 1 minute.
    Control Panel shows less than 3% total CPU and only a fraction of the total RAM is used. There are no strange applications running.
    Running Paid version of Kaspersky. Run Microsoft Defender - no virus or registry errors.
    Twice HP support instantly determines (with no facts) that it is a "virus" and had me install the Windows 8 OS from scratch. This didn't change anything either time. I am a little upset at all that time wasted because it requires installing all of the updates, then MS Office 2013. That is all we are trying to use on this machine. It is not a gaming or web surfing machine. We can't use it for MS Office because it failes to respond after about 30 minutes.
    I have updated all the November drivers for motherboard, drive and others listed.
    I manage over a dozen computers, this is a problem for the HP Envy Phoenix since day 1. 
    We are holding off on ordering any more HP in 1 qtr 2014 if this can't be fixed.
    We won't accept it has a virus again unless HP can at least provide some proof or reasonable instructions.
    We are very open to getting this fixec, but have spent over 100 hours of time and lost huge productvity. Our employee is working on an XP machine so they can stay more productive.

    Hi Tesla3D,
    One item of possible interest in your post is running both Kaspersky and Windows Defender.
    You should turn off Defender in Control Panel.
    That could be what is slowing down your system.
    Note to self, check date of post!
