Render mode gpu and softkeyboard issues

IHi,
If I'm using the render mode "gpu" or "direct" for my Air Android project, the stage is not resizing correctly if the soft keyboard comes up. (there are 150 px of blank free space over the soft keyboard)
Everything works correctly if I'm using the render mode "cpu".
s this a known issue?
How to fix it?
I'm using Flash CS6 and Air 3.8
Thanks

There are definitely some bugs going on with the softkeyboard on Android. Check out my releated issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1281872?tstart=0
I knew eventually some other people would start running into this problem: Please vote for adobe to take a look into the softkeyboard bugs on Android: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3627285 ... bugs that don't get enough votes don't get worked on

Render Mode GPU generate error when we use window.open()

Hi,
   Am using AIR 3 beta2 SDK. I set the rendermode descriptor to gpu(<renderMode>gpu</renderMode>) in the application descriptor file. In the application I created a window component which can be opened as a new window within the main application.
Some lines of code where I load the new window
var window3DInstance:Window3D=new Window3D();
window3DInstance.open(true)
When I run the application and try to open the new window, it generates the following error:
Error #1508: The value specified for argument renderMode is invalid.
When we set the rederMode to Auto or cpu, the error disappears and the new window is opened. But I need to render it in gpu mode.
How we can solve this issue?

01. The way that a Monkey Patch is applied depends upon your build/test environment. You probably use FlashBuilder. I do not use FlashBuilder, I use FlashDevelop, but the approach is the same, either way. The principle is that the mxmlc compiler, when it looks to resolve a reference to spark.components.Window, will find two possible resolutions. Without a Monkey Patch, it would find only one. Without a Monkey Patch, it would find spark.components.Window only in the airglobal.swc file. With the Monkey Patch, it will find spark.components.Window because you will add that path to the sources that your project is using. When the compiler has both a source and a swc entry, it will use the source instead of the swc entry.
In my build/test environment, the two files are found in my SDK directory:
     G:\FlexSDK\21328
The swc is at:
    frameworks\libs\air\airgloabal.swc
The modified source is at:
    frameworks\projects\airspark\src\spark\components\Windows.as
02. Wherever your spark.component.Window.as file is located, you should first rename that to Window.org. Then, you should save the attachment in this email to that location. To make the modified code visible to your compiler, you will add a sourcepath. Using my example, the added source path is G:\FlexSDK\21328\frameworks\projects\airspark\src.
03. If you open my attachment, you can search for the string 'SSS'. You will find it only twice -- the patch is trivial. The first change is to add an additional argument to the constructor for the class. The second change is to use the value of that argument where Window creates the NativeWindow. I have set the default value to NativeWindowRenderMode.AUTO, but I do not know if that will work correctly or not. In my use case, EVERY sub-window is being created by this invocation:
      new Window (new NativeWindowRenderMode.GPU);
04. If you read the ASDoc notes for the NativeWindowRenderMode class you will see some rules concerning the requirement of a RenderMode specified in your code having to agree with the RenderMode that is set in the AIR Application Descriptor. Since my Application Descriptor sets the value of that <RenderMode> parameter to the string 'gpu', I know that my application is obeying the NativeWindowRenderMode class' rules. What I do not know is how you would create an AIR application in which you had some sub-windows configured for GPU usage and other sub-windows configured for non-GPU usage. I suspect that under this new architecture, it is not possible to mix and match. I suspect it is only possible to have one or the other. Since I must have GPU rendering in at least one of my application's sub-windows, I am setting ALL of them that way even though most of the other sub-windows have no Molehill code running inside them.
05. Since Adobe has not published clear documentation concerning these matters, I have no idea whether or not my setting of the default value to NativeWindowRenderMode.AUTO is generally valid. I have not tested that theory. If it breaks other applications, then I will simply revert to the un-modified spark.component.Window when working with the broken application(s), and only use the Monkey Patch when working with the important application that requires rendering of Molehill code in a sub-window.

Content is not Panning while softkeyboard appears in GPU and Direct Mode (Adobe Air SDK 4.0.0.1390)

Hi,
My content is not panning while softkeyboard appears in GPU and Direct Mode(I have placed my input textfield at the bottom of the screen) it is working fine with the CPU and AUTO Mode. I am using Air sdk v 4.0.0.1390. I have checked my manifest file also and have added '<softKeyboardBehavior>pan</softKeyboardBehavior>' still it is not panning my content while keyboard appears.
Has anybody faced this problem earlier?
(On Android i am getting this problem on iOS it is working fine)

SetVector and GPU render mode

Hello,
If i use the setVector method on a BitmapData in GPU render mode on a mobile device, it works very slow.
This changes if the render mode is CPU. The method is fast enough.
The problem lies in the fact that if I use CPU render mode the app i;m developing is getting very slow, while on GPU it works great.
setPixel32 is even slower,it even won't work with lock/unlock.
Where the problem lies? How can I bipass this since setPixel32 or setVector is a must have when working with bitmaps.
UPDATE:
I've tested alot, and it seems the problem lies not with setVector method but with copying transparent pixels
You can find the code here since i've asked the question o stackexchange too: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21827049/gpu-vs-cpu-render-mode-adobe-air

Hi Lucian,
Unfortunately, I am unaware of any tutorials on the net I could recommend, though I am sure there are a few -- not on the subject of setting up render targets, specifically -- most likely-- but on setting up Stage3D + shaders.
One source I would recommend, though, if this is your first time setting up a Stage3D render pipeline, besides the code examples in the Stage3D Adobe reference, is this great book:
http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Stage3D-Molehill-Programming-Beginners/dp/1849691681/ref=sr_1_ sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392715725
It's a quick read. Nicely presented and explained. I think in 3-5 days you could be up and running.
I would also browse this site. You might get some ideas:
http://www.flashandmath.com
Regarding using render targets to identify areas that have changed and need further processing:
This is a fairly common practice when interactivity is key, and works well in some use-cases.
For example, in Photoshop, there is a filter called "Liquify", with which you can stretch and compress an image in real-time. There are 2 ways to do this effect, live: one is to map the source -- undistorted-- image onto a grid of polygons, and start pushing and pulling the vertices. The other method -- same principle, but finer -- is to paint the compression field into a render target ( a texture ), temporarily, while you work in real time by 'painting' the effect ( note: the displacement vectors are based off of the gradient of the compression field ). Conceivably, you could also paint the vectors directly, as if painting a normal map. Once the user is happy with the look, then the user clicks 'apply', and the render target is used one last time to bake the displacements into the source image.
Other example: I once worked on a game where the player could use a laser beam to scar all the buildings of a 3D city. The way this was done was that each building had its own render target ( usually a 256x256 ), into which the user could 'draw' ( even though the player never saw this render target, which was just a grayscale mask ). The render target was then fed into the building's exterior shader, which would use it to identify which areas to show the destruction effect into.
Overall, the idea is to use a render target ( usually smaller that the source texture it will end up modifying ) to paint either a mask, or vectors ( like a normal map ), which is then used along with the source texture in the final shader to create the look you want.
Although I haven't had to use render targets for this particular situation, lately, I use render targets frequently, otherwise, to draw my assets into and apply shaders, and then draw the render target into the backbuffer, at the very end.
The reasons for this is explained here ( along with other tips ):

What's the status of GPU render mode on mobile targets?

Hi,
I've developed a few applications for Android and IOS using AIR. Specifically using the GPU render mode alongside StageQuality.LOW for better performance.
I was hoping for information on whether this is still a usable method as last year there was a period where it appeared depreciated or at least not supported on high res Android:
Lorenzon Nuvoletta's google plus thread:
https://plus.google.com/+LorenzoNuvoletta/posts/AhjX4XnrAzL
The 'fixed' bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3370376
The 'issue' is now marked as fixed, but I am still a little concerned about it's use in future. Are Adobe still supporting this render mode?
Thanks,

Hi Nick,
We don't plan any further enhancements for GPU mode. Our recommendation is to use stage3D (or use frameworks like Starling) with direct mode, rather than using GPU mode if at all possible.
Thanks,
Chris

FAQ: What features use the GPU and how do I troubleshoot GPU issues?

Photoshop CS6 GPU FAQ
Introduction
This document provides a quick reference guide to video card usage in Photoshop. Some features require a compatible video card to work; if the video card or its driver is defective or unsupported, those features will not work at all. Other features use the video card for acceleration and if the card or driver is defective those features will run more slowly.
Mercury Graphics Engine
The Mercury Graphics Engine (MGE) represents features that use video card, or GPU, acceleration. In Photoshop CS6, this new engine delivers near-instant results when editing with key tools such as Liquify, Warp, Lighting Effects and the Oil Paint filter. The new MGE delivers unprecedented responsiveness for a fluid feel as you work.
MGE is new to Photoshop CS6, and uses both the OpenGL and OpenCL frameworks. It does not use the proprietary CUDA framework from nVidia.
In order to use MGE, you must have a supported video card and updated driver. If you do not have a supported card, performance will be degraded. In most cases the acceleration is lost and the feature runs in the normal CPU mode. However, there are some features that will not work without a supported video card.
GPU features added in Photoshop CS6
Adaptive Wide Angle Filter (compatible video card required)
Liquify (accelerated by compatible video card with 512MB VRAM, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
Oil Paint (compatible video card required)
Warp and Puppet Warp (accelerated by compatible video card, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
Field Blur, Iris Blur, and Tilt/Shift (accelerated by compatible video
card supporting OpenCL, GPU mode unavailable on Windows XP)
Lighting Effects Gallery (compatible video card required with 512MB
VRAM, unavailable on Windows XP)

GPU/OpenGL preferences in Photoshop CS6
The advantages of using a compatible video card (GPU) with Photoshop are that you can experience better performance and more features. Problems can occur if you have an older video card with limited VRAM or if you use other programs at the same time as Photoshop that use the GPU.
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS).
In the Performance panel, make sure Use Graphics Processor is selected in GPU Settings.
Click Advanced Settings and specify the following options:
Mode > Basic
Mode > Normal
Mode > Advanced Provides the benefits of Normal mode as well as newer OpenGL advances that can result in improved performance.
Use Graphics Processor to Accelerate Computation
Use OpenCL Uses the GPU to accelerate the new blur filters (Field Blur, Iris Blur, and Tilt-Shift) – OpenCL will only be available on newer GPUs that support OpenCL v1.1 or higher
Anti-Alias Guides And Paths Allows the GPU hardware to smooth the edges of drawn guides and paths.
30 Bit Display (Windows only) Allows Photoshop to display 30 bit data directly to screen on video cards that support it
Quick GPU Troubleshooting Steps
You can experience problems such as artifacts, errors, and crashes if there are incompatibilities between Photoshop and the display components that access the GPU.
If you experience crashes, incorrectly rendered windows or objects, redraw issues, or performance issues while running Photoshop, first determine whether OpenGL is causing the problem.
Turn off OpenGL.
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS).
In the Performance panel, uncheck Use Graphics Processor. Click OK.
Restart Photoshop, and perform the same function.
If the problem recurs while OpenGL Drawing is disabled, OpenGL is not the cause. For additional troubleshooting, see Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Windows (cpsid_82252) or Troubleshoot system errors and freezes | Adobe software on Mac OS 10.x (cpsid_82414).
If the problem resolves, proceed with the rest of the troubleshooting steps to fix OpenGL.
Make sure that you're using the latest update of Photoshop.Updates fix bugs and issues.
Update the display driver.Updated display drivers can fix many issues, such as crashing, incorrectly rendered objects, and performance problems. Determine what video card you have and go directly to the manufacturer's website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver. (Note: Simply doing a Windows Update is does not guarantee you are using the latest driver. You must go directly to the nVideo or ATI/AMD websites to get the absolute latest driver.) After you update your driver, turn on Use Graphics Processor in Photoshop preferences.
Reset preferences.
Resetting preferences returns OpenGL settings to their default status. Reset Photoshop preferences by pressing and holding Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) immediately after you start Photoshop.
Click Yes when asked if you want to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File.
Retry the function that caused the problem.
Change the OpenGL mode to Basic.
Setting the OpenGL mode to Basic uses the least amount of GPU memory and the most basic GPU feature set.
Close all documents.
Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS)
In the Performance panel, click the GPU Settings Advanced Settings button.
Choose Mode > Basic
Restart Photoshop.
If this solution resolves the problem, switch to Normal mode. See if the issue recurs. If the issue recurs, return to Basic mode.
Note: If you’re changing GPU preferences to troubleshoot a problem, re-launch Photoshop after each change.
If you are using more than one video adapter, remove the additional cards.
Multiple video adapters can cause problems with GPU accelerated or enabled features in Photoshop. It's best to connect two (or more) monitors into one video adapter. If you have to use more than one video adapter, make sure that they are the same make and model. Otherwise, crashes and other problems can occur in Photoshop.
Note: Using two video adapters does not enhance Photoshop's performance.
Check your Cache Levels setting.
If you've set your Cache Levels to 1 in Photoshop preferences, you can experience performance issues with GPU features. Reset Cache Levels to the default setting, which is 4.
Choose Edit > Preferences > Performance (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS)
In the Performance panel, choose Cache Levels > 4.
The GPU Sniffer
To help guard against Photoshop crashes related to bad GPU hardware or drivers, Photoshop employs a small program called the GPU Sniffer. Every time Photoshop is launched, Photoshop launches the sniffer. The sniffer runs rudimentary tests of the GPU and reports the results to Photoshop. If the sniffer crashes or reports a failure status to Photoshop, Photoshop will not use the GPU. The Use Graphics Hardware checkbox in the Performance panel of the Preferences will be unchecked and disabled.
The first time the sniffer fails, Photoshop will display a dialog indicating that it has detected a problem with the GPU. On subsequent launches the dialog will not appear unless the Photoshop preferences are reset.
If the user corrects the problem, either by replacing the video card or by updating the driver, then the sniffer will pass on the next launch and the Use Graphics Hardware checkbox will be enabled and returned to its previous state (enabled or disabled).
Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
Adobe tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This document lists the video card by series. While the minimum amount of VRAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256MB, some features require 512MB of VRAM to be enabled.
Note: Adobe tested laptop and desktop versions of the following cards. Be sure to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names.)
nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 series
nVidia Quadro 400, 600, 2000, 4000 (Mac & Win), CX, 5000, 6000
AMD/ATI Radeon 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 series
AMD/ATI FirePro 3800, 4800, 5800, 7800, 8800, 9800, 3900, 4900, 5900, 7900
Intel Intel HD Graphics, Intel HD Graphics P3000, Intel HD Graphics P4000
Note: ATI X1000 series and nVidia 7000 series cards are no longer being tested and are not officially supported in CS6 – some basic GL functionality may be available for both these cards.
Note: 3Dand some Open GL features are disabled on Windows XP, as stated on : http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/photoshopcs6/

Flash and AIR iOS Render Mode

Discovered when I add video to my project I have to use GPU Render Mode to play the video smoothly. But this causes any Filters I've applied to text objects to disappear. Tried numerous ways of correcting including cacheAsBitmap... doesn't work. On some of my MovieClips I've checked ExportAsBitmap and that does work.
Any suggestions to find a medium in both worlds?

M93p BIOS issue: PowerOff not correct if Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disabled and Wake on Lan Enabled

Hi Levnovo support team, Recently I bought a M93p tiny(10AAA05MTW)(BIOS revision FBKT56A)and installed with Ubuntu 13.10 myself.Then tried to enable wake on lan for my tiny. The followings are my test result. 1. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Enabled, no mateter what is Wake On Lan setting PowerOff system is OK. 2. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disable and Wake On Lan Disabled PowerOff system is OK. 3. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disabled and Wake On Lan Primary or Automatic PowerOff system is NG. When I tried to power off system, it always can poweroff(LEDs on front all off) then POWER ON again in 2 or 3 seconds. I cannot accept this test result ,system should poweroff not reboot again. It's really hard to understand why enabling Wake on Lan will affect power off function. I tried the same procedures with my another M92p(3212A16)(BIOS revision 9SKT70AUS), and it works well.

Did you ever get a fix for this?Having the same issue on 3 of 6 machines that just arrived.

IMac 27" (Late 2012) Loud Fan and Overheating Issues, causing Hard Drive Failure

Hi all,
I'm having some serious overheating issues with my new iMac. Any help to help me solve this problem would be gladly appreciated since it's really beginning to bug me. Here's what's has happened:
I noticed in the first few hours of switching the iMac on that there was a short burst of very loud fan noise. This has been happening about once every two days since and every time I haven't been doing any heavy processing with the system. I've noticed that the main fan will spin, on average, at 1200rpm. Is that normal? The iMac is very well ventilated and sits right next to a window...
I have also boot camped the iMac with a copy of Windows 8 so I could run some fairly power-hungry games. I intentionally purchased a high end iMac (27" display, Intel Core i7 3.4GHz, Nvidia GeForce 680MX Graphics, 1TB Fusion drive) and expected the iMac to run games flawlessly. However, after a few days, I noticed that the CPU and GPU had shot up to a worrying 80°C whenever I ran power-hungry games, with a very loud hissing noise from the fan. After running games for about 10 minutes, the fan will stop hissing, causing the GPU and CPU to increase to 100°C. The iMac then fails and switches off unexpectedly without any warning. After analysing the Windows event logs, I received an event ID 41: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
As this occurred about six times whilst I was testing my iMac's performance, I think my hard drive has now begun to fail - sometimes I will hear the hard drive make a click noise, about once every 5 seconds. Sometimes, the clicking noise causes OS X and Windows to run very slowly (even though minimal RAM is being used and nothing too intensive (Safari, Mail etc.) is being processed). Running Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions under OS X's recovery mode as well as a repair in chkdsk in Windows suggests that there were no problems with the hard drive. All I can do is wait a while for the clicking noise to stop, and then performance will increase. I have backed up everything externally.
I have also performed a reset of the SMC as well as the PRAM, which hasn't really helped.
Any help will be appreciated. I will gladly provide any extra logs etc. if they're needed.
Thanks so much,
Alex.

That's the default fan speed on iMacs, so there isn't any problem with this.

You must know that Boot Camp isn't compatible with Windows 8 and that Apple hasn't released drivers for Windows 8, so it can fail. Install Windows 7 inmediately until Apple launches updated drivers.
As it looks like the hard disk is damaged, I would take the Mac to an Apple Store. It's in warranty, so it should be repaired for free or you should receive a new one

What is the best AIR render mode?

In Flash Professional Help / Publishing AIR for Android applications (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/using/publishing-air-android-applications.html) I found the following:
===========
Render mode
Allows you to specify which method the AIR runtime uses to render graphic content. The options include:
    Auto - automatically detect and use the fastest rendering method available on the host device.
    CPU - Use the CPU.
    GPU - Use the GPU. If no GPU is available, the CPU is used.
    Direct - Render using Stage3D. This is the fastest available rendering method.
==========
If the Auto mode automatically selects the fastest rendering method, what is the point of the 3 other options?
My application has some minor 2D animations, but very smooth drag-and-drop performance is important. What rendering mode would you recommend?
Thank you.

Last I heard, "auto" was never implemented. Auto=CPU mode.

Problem render mode "direct" Android

I'm developing an app with Adobe Air 14.0.0.137, Flash CC and Starling.
I detected an strange issue. If a set Render Mode as "Direct" the stage3D starts but no display list objects appear on the screen. I can see a white screen and only then my Starling app starts up.
If I set Render mode "Auto" the display list objects appear on the screen, but starling can't startup.
This is making my "splash-screen" fail, showing a white screen instead an flat image.
As I remember, in direct mode is still possible to see the tradicional display list objects. This is only happening on Android.
Everything works as expected on PC and iOS (ipad), but not in Android.
Any thoughts?

I'm experiencing it as well, on some android devices only. I can't reproduce it as it works well on my device. But some testers have that exact same problem.

HP P6 2212d: GPU Upgrade Compatibility Issue

My Hardware:
HP P6 2212d
Windows 7 64
Fortress 600W PSU
6GB Ram
My GPU:
Palit Nvdia GeForce GT 630 2GB
After upgrading my stock PSU, I installed my GPU and the computer would not boot.
I proceeded to my BIOS looking for Secure Boot options which were not there.
Instead, I disabled Slot security for the 16x PCIe slot. This allowed my PC to boot.
The computer does not use the GPU, but the stock iGPU to boot.
I tried my GPU on another PC with a different board. This confirms that my GPU is not the problem.
I tried installing an Inno3D Nvidia 610 GPU on to my PC. It used the iGPU to boot.
I tried installing an PowerColor Radeon HD6670 on to my PC. It used the iGPU to boot.
I suspect the GPU manufacturer is not compatible with UEFI.
Looking into the BIOS options, there are no options for Legacy Mode.
HP has not released a BIOS update for my particular model.
I cannot find the option in the BIOS to switch used GPUs.

Hi,
The BIOS level in your PC is not UEFI. Try clearing the CMOS and then see if the graphics card will work.
Let me check with HP to be sure that the below BIOS update is in fact for your PC.
There is an UEFI BIOS update posted under Windows 8.1 that addresses an issue as you have described. You will have to run in legacy mode enabled, secure boot and fast boot disabled once it is installed. Some of the past BIOS installers required the OS that is was posted under to be running or it would not install. You might give it a try. If the installer doesn't with Windows 7 then you could try unpacking the file and then try installing it manually. You need to be the PC admin and additionally try when you try the internal exe then right mouse click on it and run as administrator. If that fails to work then you may have to take the PC into a local PC repair shop where they have the proper tools to install the BIOS update.

IQ826t Restart and Heating Issue

One thing I definitely do not like the HP's support especially when they will not allow us to buy a 7 Upgrade from Vista nor will they support something (even when I find their glitches and they admit after telling me it was just the OS).. On Repair work, I had to ship it out and this will be my 2-3 time to do repair on this PC in the past 3 years (and I have to wait a week for the repair to be done...)
Besides that, IQ826t, Win 7 Ultimate SP1
All Drivers are up to date with HP website (utilizing Win 7 64 bit drivers and Firmware is up to date). AVG update/scan (no issue - confirmed even rootkit).. Malwarebyte - Scan and no issue
Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmentation done on a monthly and quarterly schedule
Biggest Issue:
I am getting a crash with Win 7 0x124 Stop Error Message (happens periodically and even after a reboot)
Never had this issue until May and the upgrade to Win 7 was done last year with SP1 update done on March (so it is not an issue with the OS as HP support personnel seems to think... I proved them the issue with Windows Update History, The Bluescreen error code on my error code reader).. This machine under warranty and I had issues with it constant (even in Vista)
They state that it is the OS.. Again, if that was the case, I would think it would happen right away like my Toshiba on SP1 upgrade... That was not the case in the matter. I have a firmware reset (default settings) and the issue persist..
The Error Code relates always HAL.dll or ntoskrnl.exe
One if hardware compatiblity and the other is an OS kernel exe file.. And this usually checking knowledge base relates to hardware failing due to 1) Compatibility (which HP website confirms is not the case) 2) OS corruption (which is not the case checking on safe mode and this happening STILL 3) Heat Issue (which I believe is the issue and was been documented on the Internet
What I am noticing is the unit is extremely HOT (vent is almost burning when it has been off and just turned on).. I wonder if the hardware pieces are literally melting to destruction since I can't just open it up (they state it will void my warranty)
The Symptoms before the Crash (happens any time.. Even right after a power up)
If you are playing audio or video, you will start to hear jitters and sound seems to echo itself .. Video would start to lag and become choppy.. Systems start to slow down and things seem to run very slow.. I have seen the power light on the PC start on but the touchscreen just go black (will not restart sometimes)..
Minor Issues (but could be related)
1) When running PC Hardware Diagnostic, they will come up with an error code in the past and that was warranted for a motherboard replacement (of course, they ship the box to the wrong location and I was in the middle of my wedding so I get to it now).. It was pertaining to PCI Express Status ICH9 PCI Express Root Port where it will generate an error code... Now, running the diagnostic... I will not get any error but PCI Express Root Port 3 & 5 do not show up on the diagnostic... Wouldn't that obvious show something that is a problem when there are 6 ports (which on the previous diagnostic that I can't grab past logs shows that). That is not warranted for a warranty work? Just a note, I got the fail test code (which was intermittent but keep happening and the tech support would not look at previous case.. Port 4 failed and a fatal device code)
2) Blu-Ray player will not run and their answer is that it is your Blu-Ray until they realize that I ran it on 3 different Blu-Ray player standalone, different Blu-Ray, and confirm DVD will work.. They still think it is a software issue until they can't deny my point when it will not read the Blu-Ray no matter what (they took control and confirmed it).. They believe the HP SmartDVD software was failing because of Win 7 and not Vista (even when I downgrade and confirm it works, I stated the software is the issue... Lone and behold, 2 months later they had an update that they refuse to admit I was RIGHT on the matter and done 15 hours of troubleshooting that they were wrong about)
3) Wireless Keyboard and Mouse lost connectivity even if the battery is not low... Just stop typing or omit letters.. This is considering the keyboard is literally in front of the touchscreen
4) Touchscreen is sensitive when it wants to be but won't in other... Constant issues there
This is why I have so much issue with support.. They seem to show that they will do anything to deny the issue.. Heck, I am a computer technian calling on the issue.. It ain't like I didn't troubleshoot on the matter... But they think we are all morons and when I prove them wrong, they will use any excuse to honor warranty... That is why it is amazing..
