Screen issue or Software Bug?

see attached for a video.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/98nlal8jt7qq8k0/IMG_6005.MOV
Basically every reboot, at the OS X 10.9 login screen i get a distorted screen for several seconds, after about 5 seconds it stops and does not occur again when using the OS.
It is a repeatable bug as it will occur after every reboot. Anyone else experience this?
i7 2.7GHz rMBP / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD
Never dropped, no liquid was ever near it.

Try resetting the SMC - may help and cannot hurt.
Otherwise, I would take it in for diagnosis (or ignore the issue as it only happens at startup).

HP 8620 Touch Screen Unresponsive - Firmware Software Bug?

Hello, I have the latest "firmware update" on the HP 8620. Can someone please confirm this bug? I don't know if it is just for the HP 8620 or if it applies to all HP touchscreens. Basically if you go into any setting option, then hit the "home" icon and right after you swipe either left or right, it ends up rendering your touch screen unresponsive to swiping left or right. Is this bug already a known issue? The only way to correct the touchscreen so it is responsive again is hit the question mark, or an icon on the bottom and hit the home button (without swiping left/right right after the home button).

Hi , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see that you're experiencing issues with your touchscreen on your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer. I will certainly do my best to help you. Please confirm you have the latest Firmware Version: FDP1CN1502AR. If you do not, please go to HP's download page by clicking here. As far as I know, this is not a known issue with the printer or with the printer's Firmware Update. This could be a glitch in the touchscreen, which a Reset should resolve. Let's start by performing a Hard Reset.Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power bar or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.If you're still experiencing issues, we may need to perform a Semi-Full Reset. I can send you that information in a private message. In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it. Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck!

Air 3.3 beta PC audio distortion / Air 3.1 / 3.2 Mac black screen issue

Hi there,
I've recently released a large game coded in Flash Builder with Air (www.lonesurvivor.co.uk), and I used Air 3's captive runtime feature to bundle it for Mac and PC.
The initial build used Air 3.2 and for a large proportion of OSX users, there were no visuals at all, just sound and the game obviously working underneath. This caused a very large support issue, and took several weeks to deal with, as well as having to maintain a seperate Projector version for those for whom the Air version wouldn't work. I wish I had known that the game would fail on some Macs, but unfortunately the issue showed up on none of the ones tested.
I'm about to launch the updated build of the game which uses Air 3.3 beta 1, as it seems to fix the black screen issue for all those who experienced it. I was very happy that Adobe have managed to iron this out, even if there was no response to the bug I entered into bugbase.
The problem is, on a final test on XP SP2, the 3.3 beta version produces what appears to be filtered graphics... which is how the Mac version has always appeared, but the PC version of the game seemed to use what looked like nearest-neighbour sampling in Flash's fulllscreen upscaling, which looked good for the zoomed pixel art in this game.
This is a small cosmetic issue, but there is another one whhich is far more severe - the audio has become extremely distorted, and is now unlistenable.
So with 3.2 giving me no visual on Macs and 3.3 giving me unlistenable audio on PCs, I will now have to maintain two versions again. I really would like to keep one project I can quickly make changes to, but the seperate problems in different platforms means I lose out on the great cross-platform functionality of Air. I'm hoping this is a known issue, but I couldn't find it on google / bugbase / these forums.
Could these two issues be related - is hardware acceleration not working or something? Somehow I think it is, because the XP test machine is quite old, and tended to fall over with the game running in software mode in a Flash projector.
I tried swapping out the Air 3.3 runtime for the previous 3.2 I shipped with, and editing the XML desciption to make sure it was set to use that and, sure enough, the game worked as it did before. So there is definitely something up with the beta. I'm just glad I caught this problem before I shipped as going to save me thousands of emails of support!
So I guess my question is - is this a known issue? And if so, do you have any workarounds / or are Adobe working on a fix?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the prompt response - I guess I should have tried the forums instead of the bugbase last time... It really was a support nightmare! Not least because I had to deal with the problem of saved games being wiped by over-zealous browsers on the backup Projector version I was supplying Mac customers with.
Fortunately the Mac Air 3.3 runtime works great.
Out of interest - there is still the difference in GPU scaling used between Mac and Windows though, which there always has been since it was introduced (is this a known issue btw?)
Which leads me to the 3.3 beta 2 - I tried it out last night, and while it corrected the blurry graphics (the scaling appeared nearest neighour again on XP), the audio suffered the same distortion.
In addition, I had several other XP / Vista / Win 7 users test out the build, and the user with XP SP3 also suffered the issue.
So I'm planning to ship the PC version with 3.1 as it worked well for the first release, and use 3.3 beta 1 for the Mac version. Unfortunately I've run out of time and need to get it out there!
I'd definitely be interested in getting into the pre-release program. I'll write you an email and send the builds of the game too.
Cheers,
Jasper

Camera Software Bug on Nokia Lumia 810

In mid-December 2013, following a recent Nokia software update, the camera on my Nokia Lumia 810 now no longer supports the ability to tap the screen in order to take photos or video.
Instead, I am forced to use the physical camera button which tends to cause slight movement of the phone and blurring of pictures, especially since the 810 lacks the anti-shake feature found in more advanced models.
I assume this is a software bug because I have searched for a setting that would allow me to re-enable the tap to take pictures capability and have found nothing of the kind.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this? Will Nokia be releasing a software update to address this problem?
Would appreciate a response soon as one of the best things about this phone has been the camera and right now the camera experience is just awful because of this issue. Several photos from Christmas were ruined by it.
Please help.
Eric

Problem solved ... sort of. After a little further investigation, what I haved learned is this:
(1) When first opening the camera mode on a Nokia Lumia 810 (running GDR2+Amber), the functionality for immediately taking a picture can only be accomplished by pressing the physical button on the handset. The ability to simply touch the screen (anywhere or even on an icon) to initiate a snapshot is no longer operational.
(2) Added now appears to be the option to select a lenses, any one of several installed camera capable apps on my phone. Once an app is selected, it is then possible to touch the screen to snap a shot from within these apps.
So in summary, what was once a two step process to take a picture (i.e., 1. enter camera mode, 2. tap screen to take photo) is now a three step process involving an extra step in the middle to select a lense before tapping the screen and taking the picture.
I would prefer that the camera would continue to support the previous two step picture taking process, but at least now there does appear to be a way to take photos by tapping the screen in specifc apps, such as Smart Camera, which is important in order to avoid shaking the camera (which can happen when using the physical button).

Help!! Helix Screen Issue - Refresh/Flicker in Some Cases: Do You Have the Same Issue?!

I'm hoping somebody reads this and does the quick test below to help see if I found a Lenovo Helix display issue, or if just mine is defective!
I just received my Helix Core i7/8GB RAM/256GB SSD/4G LTE. (I have udpated all software, drivers, and Windows. Screen set at normal 32 bit color, 50/60 Hz refresh rates tested - default options unchanged.)
Under some circumstances, I can see some flickering on the screen, like on an old CRTs when you set the refresh rate to very low. I've done some tests, and here is one quick way to reproduce it....can someone else try it so I can see if my Helix is defective?
Keep your helix in normal portrait mode. Open the Windows sticky notes (the built-in app since Windows 7 that lets you put a "postit" on the desktop). Put that note in the upper right corner, so it takes like a quarter of the screen. Leave it on for 2-3 minutes at least (5 minutes best). Then swipe on the right side to bring the charms menu, click settings: now the larger blue vertical bar showing settings/shutdown button etc shows up. Right there, on the blue bar, where the sticky notes used to be underneath, mine flickers a LOT sometimes, and sometimes it's just a little. It goes away after a few minutes. It's exactly and only where the sticknotes were (the rest of my desktop pic is blue).
It's not a software bug. The issue persists on that spot of the screen if you immediately reboot, and progressively diminishes until some time has passed (~2 minutes). The issue also stays in the same physical location if you rotate the display to vertical. It's not a software issue with stiky notes, it's just the color; if I take a screenshot of the color and leave it at the same location on the screen dsktop, then bring blue like the settings bar, it does it. It seems that having yellow on the screen displayed for a few minutes, followed by blue, does it.
So this is visible easily if you have a desktop picture with blue on it (like ocean/beach).
On some occasions too, it just seems that changing completely colors make the overal screen refresh rate seem low; this is very subtle and lasts only for a few seconds. What I'm more worried about is the above test, the flickering is obvious to anyone looking at the screen.
Can somebody try? Again, the yellow of the sticky notes needs to stay on screen for a few minuets, then bring the blue bar of the settings menu on top, and see if you see the "flickering".
Thanks so much in advance!
Nicolas

Anyone? At least someone from Lenovo? I have a limited time to decide if I keep my Helix or not. If I get no reply I'll just have to return it...and I haven't found another alternative tablet that works for me (12" screen, Core i5/i7 and 4GLTE).
BTW, the issue I have isn't hard to see on my tablet. Just use the default windows sticky notes and bring the settings bar on top of it after a few minutes, and you'll see.
My guess is it could be related to the burn in issue posted on this forum. I only see the flickering if the image is left on for a couple of minutes then changed. Only a couple of minutes is needed, not long. BTW I showed it to several poeple, without saying anything, they all saw it immediately.
Not a driver issue. Tried latest drivers, no change. Also, tried an Asus tablet (Vivo Tab) for comparison, I don't see this issue at all, no problem.
Even weirder, it really seems to be specific colors doing that. Leave yellow on the screen and switch to blue. But not any yellow. like the sticky notes have a gradient in color, well only part of the color of the sticky notes make the screen flicker when blue is then displayed on top after that.

Software bug in OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 (IOS)

I found a software bug in OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 (iOS) and is related to the space characters inside the logon name. I am using SharePoint 2013 (15.0.4617.1000 June 2014 CU) and my setup
corresponds with the OneDrive for Business App requirements.
I am not able to connect using OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 (iOS) to the SharePoint 2013 OneDrive personal site if the logon name has space characters in it. With the same user account, but this time with the logon name changed (removed all
the space characters) the authentication works and I am able to configure the app (OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 - iOS).
I wrote more details here
http://www.vioreliftode.com/index.php/software-bug-in-onedrive-for-business-1-2-2-ios/.
Any other of you in the same situation?

Hi,
I understand that the issue occurred in OneDrive for Business 1.2.2 (iOS).
If this is a suspicious bug, I recommend you to open a ticket with Microsoft.
In the meanwhile, you can post the thread at the OneDrive support forum:

Flickering Screen issue after Mavericks update released on Feb 26, 2014

I own a Macbook Retina display bought in early 2014. After installing the recent Maverick update released around Feb 26, 2014 the display developed flickering problem while scrolling and now the scrolling is not smooth any more. The originally shipped machine did not have this problem. I tested other software including Photoshop and the display still flickers while panning the canvas. I also tried resetting the SMC - System Management Controller but it didn't work along with other attempts of resetting the disk permissions, running a systems cleaner, changing the wifi-router etc.
How to fix this flickering screen issue?

The problem came back lately and I tried this solution and it worked. Go to system settings > power saver > and switch off the Automatic Graphic switching. Not sure if this is a good solution, but it seem to have worked for the time being.

Can I use a project/issue management software with LabVIEW?

There are project/issue management softwares.
I only know Redmine.
Can I use LabVIEW with such softwares?

I am not aware, that you can hook LabVIEW to tools like bug tracing databases in a native way.
What you can do is performing that link in a context of requirements management. Use NI Requirements Gateway for this functionality.

How can iOS5 be a software bug and only effect some iPhones?

How can IOS 5 be a software bug and not effect every device running that firmware? Could it be a hardware issue? Has anyone noticed in Settings>About>Diagnostics there are loads more logs about crashing/low memory/ and many others since IOS5?

It probably has something to do with settings. I haven't had any battery drain issue on my 4S (which started out with settings I restored from a backup of my iPhone 3G), but I had extremely rapid drain on my iPad 1 when I upgraded to iOS 5. I figured out quite quickly that it was the auto time zone support, and turning it off made things basically perfect again. I suspect it might be because I was previously using iOS4 on the iPad, and some setting or something was creating the problem, which was absent on the iPhone.
Of course, that's pure speculation— if Apple has it figured out, they could choose to transparently explain what exactly the bug was (though I suspect we won't get any details like that)

High pitched static on other end is a software bug that needs to be fixed immediately

Every once in a while, the callers on the other line start hearing nothing but a high pitched static from me. I have no idea when it happens or what causes it. I can hear the other person just fine but they cannot hear me at all. I find out when the other person keeps saying hello and eventually hangs up. Once it happens, it happens on every call after that.
The only thing that fixes it is restarting the phone which is extremely annoying. This is most definitely a software bug and has nothing to do with whether you have good signal or if you use a case or not.
I tested this with by calling my wife's phone when she was with me after the glitch happened.
1) I had no case on the phone.
2) I was getting a perfect signal (also perfect 4g)
3) Switching to loudspeaker did nothing.
4) Turning noise reduction on or off did nothing.
5) muting and unmuting did nothing (except when muted there was obviously no static, but it came back upon unmuting)
6) Turning wifi on or off did nothing
7) Turning bluetooth on or off did nothing
Answering an important call and hearing "hello, hello, hello and click" is the most annoying thing ever. Because then I have to restart my phone which takes quite a while and the other person is repeatedly calling me in the meantime.
This needs to be fixed immediately. After all, this device is a phone first. All those smart functions come second. If I can't make or receive calls properly this device has to go.

Oh no! This definitely can be annoying!!
We have had others with the Droid Charge call/write in with the same issue. Replacing the phone didn't resolve which also leads me to believe it is a software glitch.
First, make sure you do have the most recent sofware version vy going to:
Settings>About Phone>System Updates>Check New You should currently have i510EE4
We have let Samsung know that there is an issue with some of the Droid Charge's having a high pitched noise.
At this time, they are looking into it in order to provide a resolution.

On my wife's iPad mini I can't get past the screens accepting the software license to upgrade iOS over WiFi.
Works if I do it over iTunes on my desktop.
I get the screens to agree to the software license (twice) then it sits there until I get impatient. like 30-60 seconds. Have tried a hard boot but have to connect it to the computer each time. Latest was when I upgraded to 8.2

[updated just few months ago]

Software bugs No right hand corner charms - Task Bar and Start Menu Properties

There seems to be a software bug, as you point your mouse at the right hand corner, charms does not show up! The Taskbar and Start Menu Navigation Option "When I point to the upper-right hand corner, show charms" is tick and selected.

@mrdbeta,
I had this same issue. However, the keyboard shortcut for the Charms bar still works, and pressing
Win key + C opens the Charms bar as expected. Maybe the mouse peek has been disabled in the Preview, but try the keyboard shortcut.
Hope that helps!

Screen Issue with HP G7000 laptop

Hi there,
I bought a second hand HP G7000 laptop preinstalled with Windows Vista Home Premium x86 a few days ago, the problem with it was that the screen wouldn't light up even when plugged the laptop was plugged in using the AC adapter which I also had to buy seperately as the original one was misplaced and only cost me £10 for a compatible one off the Internet, the screen wasn't shattered and showed no signs of wear and tear, I took it to my local PC repair shop for £40 in which the contacts behind the screen needed connecting back up and with a little soldering for some other parts of the repair, however when I tookit back to my place the screen lit up fine in which I decided to perform a factory restore to make it feel like it was brand new and that it belonged to me. After restoring the laptop successfully, I noticed that a lot of stuff was a little out-of-date and decided to update it to make it compliant with the latest security fixes as well as the latest bug fixes i.e. to upgrade to SP2 etc, however upon updating and turning on the laptop every so often the display kept going funny i.e. black and white and wouldn't display anything clearly in which I had to keep forcing the laptop to shut down with using the power button in which I don't like doing as this will corrupt the hard drive eventually, however upon researching this problem on the Internet I stumbled across this forum thread http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f108/hp-g7000-screen-issue-529809.html using Google describing a very similar problem to me, the problem not only seems to be with tilting the angle of the screen but also the surface in which the unit is placed down on, I've tried various surfaces including my USB fan cooler, glass and wood and all produce various results from time to time. So I guess the answer is to place the unit down on a flat surface that isn't shiny and screen not tilting when using the laptop? I thought the purpose of a laptop was to make computing mobile regardless of what surface you place the unit down on and what angle you have the screen at. Your feedback and suggestions would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim
P.S. I also suspect that the problem is related to interference and lighting conditions as well as heating conditions and the battery as the battery sometimes retains its charge whereas sometimes it doesn't and have to use the AC adapter when this happens, don't know whether flashing the BIOS has helped the battery to retain its charge though.
This question was solved.

Hello @RocknRollTim,
I understand that your notebook computer is experiencing an issue with the display screen as well as keeping a charge with the battery, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To further diagnose the integrity of your computer's battery, I recommend following this document on Calibrating the Notebook Battery (Windows Vista). This should help re-synchronize the battery with your notebook.
Because the display intermittently stays on the screen when moved a certain angle, I believe the display panel cables are defective. According to the Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer, this part can be replaced with a camera (462455-001) or without (454932-001), and can be found from the multiple vendors below:
