Sony vaio flip 15 missing strokes in photoshop

HI there,
I recently bought the Sony vaio flip 15 which uses the n-trig stylus as opposed to Wacom, I downloaded the appropriate drivers from n-trig to apply pressure sensitivity in photoshop and while the stylus is pressure sensitive it keeps missing strokes, I will draw on the screen and nothing will happen, if I draw ten quick strokes only three to seven will appear on screen, I haveI uninstalled and re installed the drivers to no effect and the stylus works perfectly in other pressure sensitive programs such as sketchbook pro 6 and manga studio 5 but in photoshopit is unusable, is there something I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you,
MIchael

HI there, yep windows eight sorry, I have tried the new cc and it has the same issue. If I remove the drivers for the n-trig stylus the problem gets better in a way the stylus is responsive but no pressuresensitivity of course. These wintab drivers were specifically designed to work for photoshop so it shouldn't be this bad

Sony vaio flip 15 missing strokesG

HI, there,
I recently bought the new Sony vaio flip 15 and I have been trying to use photoshop elements 11 as well as 9 2 and I even tried CC just to be sure .after iI installed the required wintab 32 and 64 drivers to enable pressure sensitivity with the n- trig stylusphotoshop is just unusable. If I draw ten quick strokes only three to seven of them actually show up on screen and they are all different thicknesses and there is even some vectoring for good measure Every other program has perfect pressure such as manga studio five and sketchbook pro etc but the n-trig wintab drivers are just not working, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it is just not working, is there some hidden button I am just not pressing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks heaps, bye bye,

Sony VAIO Flip 15 no longer booting

Hi all,
Here's my problem:
First it started as the touchpad not functioning after powering on from sleep mode. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad drivers and it works again after a reboot. But the next time I power it on from sleep mode it stops functioning again! At that point, my laptop decides it's time for an update, and forces an update when I shut down the laptop so I don't touch it for a couple of days. Next time I try to turn it on, my laptop won't even boot up properly ! And by that I mean that I'll press the power button, the power (solid green led, no blinking) and hdd led will turn on, the fan revs up, but while the screen is still black, it shuts down. Right after it shuts down, it will try to power on again with no intervention from me and then shuts down once more. Now every time I try to power on, that's the only process that I get. That's about all I can describe for the symptoms.
Here's what I've tried:
-Get to bios screen and try a recover, the laptop won't even allow me to get to a bios screen (tried using the battery kill method and then assist button, no luck)
-Remove the battery to reset bios and try to power on again, but the same process as I mentioned repeats itself
-Remove and reinsert the cmos battery but again when I try to power on, the same thing happens
-Try to take the battery out of the picture and only use AC power, but still the power issue
-Tried removing ram disks in all combinations and try to start each time but still the same issue.
-Tried reseating hdd and ram and most everything but still same issue
*All have been attempts by regular power button and the assist button*
Essentially nothing will get past this ****** powering laptop on, and then it shuts off and tries to power on again by itself and shuts off again, all with a black screen that can't be bypassed

Please any help would be appreciated! I don't have the money to afford a repair at the moment so I'm out a very expensive laptop if this doesn't get fixed!

Hi ttran106,
Welcome to Sony Community!
We regret to know that your laptop is having a power issue. When did it start? May I know what is the current operating system of this laptop?
If the laptop won't stay on and it always restart by itself then we can't perform any troubleshooting. I'm confused on the things that you said you've tried. First thing this SVF15N17CXB is a compact laptop wherein the battery is not removable, RAM is not removable nor the CMOS battery unless you open up the laptop by yourself. (We have an authorized technician to help you fix the laptop)
Click on this link and please make sure that you will follow the instructions provided to isolate the issue.
Please keep me posted.

How do I get Sony Vaio flip to sync with Iphone

I just purchased the new Sony Vaio Flip and when I plug the USB cable for my iphone 4 the charging bolt flickers on and off. It seems like the connection on both ports is not stable. I tried uninstalling Itunes, but this does not work as it continues to flicker uncontrolably. I also, tried looking in device management for the USB drivers, if the the iphone is plugged it keeps refreshing-consistent with the flickering. I also unplugged the device and checked all the drivers and they are up to date. I don't think it's a windows 8 issue because the same phone and cable combination is working fine with my home computer that is also 8 Help, anyone?

After getting the Itunes app to run without failure, the IPAD when connected through its USB cable, continuously flickers and nevers registers as connected to the PC.

nonsense. iTunes works flawlessly on millions of Windows PCs, so there's obviously something wrong with your particular system.

First time posting, first time Sony laptop user. I've had this Sony VAIO Flip 15 - SVF15N17CXB, laptop for a few months now everything has been working fine. Til lately I been hearing static on my laptop when I played music or videos. I managed to look up some of the common problems and adjusted my audio options til I got it fixed, and it worked.
Until now, where I can only hear from he left internal speaker on my laptop. It was working fine earlier, but now it seems to have given out. I don't know if I blew it out or maybe I messed up the settings. I've tried updating my driver it says I have he latest one. I've uninstalled the driver, reboot my system, and it automatically reinstalled it, but still nothing.
I'm not sure if I need to get it repaired or etc. I would take it to the Sony store, but they permanently closed all their locations in Canada. Please help, it is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Eddie

Bluelabel Sony Vaio VPCSC1AFM/S missing advertised Radeon chip?

Hey guys,
I purchased this blue label Sony vaio laptop the other day (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+VAIO+Laptop+/+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%238482%3B+i5+Processor+/+...). It says that the laptop uses AMD Radeon HD 6470M graphics but when I went to confirm it within my graphics properties it says my computer is running Intel HD 3000 graphics. I also used the Intel® System Identification Utility (http://www.intel.com/support/siu.htm) just to be sure but it also stated that my laptop was running Intel HD 3000 graphics and not the AMD Radeon HD 6470M graphics it is supposed to be. My laptop does have the "RADEON graphics" sticker on it.
Im new to this whole chip set thing so I may be misunderstanding how it works. Maybe I have both chips? Can someone please lead me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Ryan

Sony Vaio crashing Photoshop/Illustrator CS6 on startup

Hello everyone,
I've searched a bit to try and find a work around for this issue on my new Sony Vaio Flip 15 but I can seem to find a permanent solution.
I recently installed CS6 Web/Design Suite on this laptop and every time I go to start Photoshop or Illustrator the program will start and then either immediately crash or crash within seconds of trying to open a new blank document.
I have already updated the drivers from Sony for the GeForce 735M Card and have updated everything from nVidia as well but still no luck.
Any suggestions?
Sony Vaio Flip 15: SVF15N2ACXB
Intel Cor i7 1.8Ghz

Thanks in advance!

Vaio Flip does not turn on after BIOS update

Hello Community, I'm using Sony Vaio Flip 13'' (SVF13N13CXB) for about a year.Yesterday I decided to upgrade my firmware to address noisy fan etc. So I got update utility from Sony website, launched it, got prompt to reboot my PC to continue upgrading process. After rebooting I got a Vaio logo and progress indicator rolling. After reching 66% it stuck. I waited for about an hour, there was no progress, so I had to power off my PC (hold power button for 5 seconds).Now when I try to power it on using Power or Assistance buttons, it will turn on the green led, fan starts making some noise, and thats it. Screen is blank. I searched throught this site, tried to press battery button at the bottom with clip, discunnecting/connecting power adater, etc, etc. Unfortunatelly nothing helps.I assume the BIOS is now corrupted (I may be wrong although). Please can you suggest how can I recover the firmware to factory state? Thank you, Vitalii

Hi vetooon,
Welcome to Sony Community!
It looks like your laptop is already corrupted. Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot your computer.
Power Cycle the computer by poking the battery reset hole [4] for about 15-20 mins with the laptop unplug.
2. Plug it back in then press the power button. If issue persist proceed to the next step .
3. Press and hold the power button for 3-5 mins or until its completely off.
4. Press the "ASSIST" button. When you see the "Vaio care Rescue mode" page, select F2 to go to BIOS then reset it to default.
5. Go back to "Vaio care Rescue mode" page, we'll check if you have a Restore Point so we can go back to an earlier date. On step #7 instead of choosing the "Recovery and Maintain" choose the Advance Option, then choose the current operating system of your pc (ex. Windows 8)
6. If issue still persist then click on this link and follow the instructions carefully. Please take note that on this process you will go back to factory setting and all the files will be deleted. You can seek the assistance of a professional technician to retrieve your files.
I hope this helps you.

Jen

Shift+ some keys missed in jumanji, dwm on Sony Vaio F12

I have a strange issue on my Sony Vaio F12. Shift + some keys seem to become <some keys> only. For example Shift+space in jumanji is interpreted as Space only. Shift+Mod4+Ctrl+Q in dwm isn't caught properly, while Shift+Mod4+Enter is. xev seem to get it right, though. The state is 0x0 when pressing Space only, and 0x1 at Shift+Space.
(Note: I'm currently moving to a fresh Arch install (x86_64) on a new computer. These key combinations, including the dwm one, worked fine on my old 32bit install on a Dell XPS m1330, so the configs should be right).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
halhen

Thanks for the suggestion about customizing function keys, however, since the keys currently do nothing there's nothing to be re-mapped. (Such as VolumeUp => Page Up.)
As far as I can tell, use of the Fn key actually blocks the arrow key press events on the Yoga, so not even Up, Down. Left, Right presses are received by the OS if/when the function key is pressed. (This be can verified in any basic text editing program such as Notepad. Additionally, I wrote a program to display any/all received key events and confirmed no event occurs in such cases.)
The keyboard firmware or driver must be receiving the key state changes but simply ignores any arrow key event if the function key is pressed. I suspect any change to this behavior would have to come from the firmware or driver, which currently intercepts the hardware button presses before the OS may have a chance to redirect them. So I think the Lenovo hardware/software guys would have to enable this, which I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
I like the use of the function key in conjunction with the arrows because that way I don't need to move my fingers off the arrow keys in order to move the text cursor to the beginning or end of a line. (I certainly still find the fixed Home and End keys on the keyboard necessary.)
(Oh, and I apologize for inserting an image >50k, I didn't know the forum rules concerning a maximum image size.)

8.1.7 Installation Problem on Pentium IV Sony VAIO PCV-RX651 with XP Operating System

Have problem installing Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition on a SONY VAIO with XP Personal Edition. The "Explore CD" and "Browse Documents" buttons of the Oracle Universal Installer/Autorun responded but the "Install/DeInstall Products" button did not. Oracle 8i DB from the same CD was installed and ran just fine on a Pentium III Toshiba laptop with Win2000 ?! Please help.

Installer Versions in the the Versions Affected section.
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for 8.1.x Hangs on Machines
with Pentium 4
Processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 8.1.5
============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.6.0.9.0
Oracle 8.1.6
=============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.0.19.0
Oracle 8.1.7
==============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000
and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle Products with the Oracle Universal
Installer (8.1.x)
on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the
installer hangs.
Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version
of the Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK
1.2.
Details regarding this issue can be found at:
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knowni ssue.htm
How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it.
2. Select Properties, then the Version tab.
3. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are:
"Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for
JDK 1.2 Copyright (C)
1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file".
DLLs older than this will also not work. "
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be
affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these
tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify
"-nojit" for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating
system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard
disk ,say, e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications
(Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD
instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles
\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataF
iles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the
first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard
drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since
the absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database
during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will
not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and
there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration
Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8
Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for
the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually.
NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one
with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for
Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through
the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the
Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in
the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit
-classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from
the Start Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal
with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

The solution of making a local copy of the installation CD on

Windows ME
Solution to the installation of Oraclei8.1.7 PE in Windows Millennium
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.7 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.
===============================================================
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
===============================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.

Brightness not adjustable in Windows 8.1 Sony Vaio (formerly sleep issue)

AAAAAARGH. Whenever I hear the word VAIO my blood pressure rises. Model: VPCYB13KX/P (P=Pink) but the problem seems to be a universal oneMajor problems: cannot change brightness at all, closing the lid puts computer in non-responsive but 100% CPU state (judging by the CPU cooler fan turning on to max and enough heat radiating from the base of the laptop to fry an egg)OS: Windows 8.1 upgraded from a clean install of Windows 8 64 bit So, in my case I clean installed Windows 8 followed by 8.1. Vaio "care" (if that's what you want to call it) and all the ancillary junk was installed as well (much of it removed in trouble shooting). Before I did trouble shooting I had four major problems:1 FN keys (F5/F6) did not adjust brightness at all (still broken, and officially broken for the VPCYB series according to http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=1380)2 FN keys (F3/F4) did not adjust sound (fixed, not sure when)3 Brightness could not be changed AT ALL (broken, fixed and now broken again by solution to sleep problem)4 Closing the laptop's lid would cause the computer to go into a "frozen" but active state out of which it couldn't be woken up (fixed by steps at end of post)5 Complaint during boot about missing file (see http://community.sony.com/t5/Windows-8/iolorgdf32-program-can-not-be-found-Skipping-Autocheck/td-p/161333 for someone else's description of problem) (not fixed; not bothered to try... seems like a minor problem compared to everything else)6 mf110u DLL missing dialogue box upon startup (see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_update/mfc110udll-missing-windows-8-pro-updates-wont/9596536f-a405-4b1e-b8cf-b06e28b7fea4?msgId=28e1af2b-d536-4258-aea2-a1155cc6464b) (fixed) Re: 3 brightness. Before the sleep fix (billed as a brightness fix) was applied I was able to adjust brightness using the Windows brightness controls (one in the new interface and one in the desktop/traditional interface). Now I can't. Re: 5 and 6 My guess is that #5 and #6 have to do with the Vaio Care software (which seems to be someone else's software repackaged?). This laptop has been a support headache from day one, even under the 'clean' OEM Windows 7 Home Premium with Vaio drivers and software being the culprits 95% of the time (terrible QAQC). Until very recently I had problems with the wifi cutting out daily in Windows 7 Home Premium (only fixed when I clean installed Ultimate and used non-Sony driver for wifi... I should've stuck with 7 Ultimate and not boethered with 8). What others have been told would correct their brightness problem fixed my sleep problem (I can close the lid now) but it broke my brightness adjustment ability. I'm now stuck at 100% no matter what I do. PS These are the instructions for how to fix the brightness problem (and, to reiterate, it broke my brightness solution but fixed my sleep problem): 1.Launch Task Manager
2.Terminate two tasks
•esrv.exe
•esrv_svc.exe
3.Delete “sony_acpi_battery_input.dll” Under “C:\Program Files\Sony\VAIO Care\ESRV\sony_acpi_battery_input.dll”
4.Restart PC So, if anyone has a suggestion about how to get brightness working without breaking sleep please let me know. If I don't have any success fixing this I'm simply going to downgrade the laptop to Windows 7 Ultimate again and transfer my Windows 8 licence to my home built desktop machine (I was going to pick up a second licence but maybe I won't bother since I'll only need one).

I did try that IIRC but no luck. I've simply given up and gone back to Windows 7 because I don't have the luxury of devoting time to re-installing software when I've got toddlers screaming for my attention and work taking up the rest of my time. I haven't installed a single piece of Sony software on my Windows 7 install and so far only two things were not working: brightness control and a broken wifi driver. I fixed the driver (Sony doesn't provide a fix for the faulty wifi driver for the VPCYB13KX, nor does Microsoft) by installing a driver from the web (care of Atheros.cz). And, i haven't bothered to go after the brightness control because it's not as pressing an issue as the faulty wifi driver. Plus, I don't have any of the Sony bloatware slowing things down (installing an SSD at the same time may have had something to do with the speed up ;-). Plus, in many ways going back to Windows 7 simplifies my life big time since it is a computer that's being used by two people and Windows 8.1 makes accomodating the work flow of two separate people in one account difficult. Tangent... And, it means that at least one computer isn't subject to the prying eyes of Microsoft Live. I am becoming really leery of the amount of information that private companies (which means there is zero transparency) are able to collect and sell about private individuals through Windows 8.1, Mac OS X 10.9 and Google OS. If you happen to allow the wrong settings these OSes are able to track and store phenomenal levels of personal information (which police would never be able to find out about you without a warrant, let alone store in perpetuity). And, who knows if these OSes even honour your opt-outs. Or, if through coding errors they still continue to collect the data anyway.

Sony Vaio Tap 11 Pen Pressure issues?

Hey everyone, I have a Sony Vaio Tap 11 and for some reasno the Pen Pressure feature isnt functioning within Adobe Products, I have tested it in another program and it worked fine, just not in Adobe products. Any suggestions?

I remembered coming across threads on issues with Sony Vaio, that they were about other models had been unclear to me.
But does Mr.Cox assessment
If the driver isnt' reporting pressure correctly, then it won't work in Photoshop.
The other 2 apps you mention use a different API for pen pressure -- so probably the older API is broken in your driver.
You'll probably have to go through Sony for driver updates.

not probably also apply in your case?
