Strange behavior from battery and/or charger on my Playbook

I have a Playbook 16gb, about a year old which was working well until about 2 months ago when the micro usb port stopped working. Turns out a pin was damaged, and I had to have a whole new port installed (cost $75.00) with a 30-day warranty.
Two months later, when the warranty had run out the same problem started happening. I went to another repair shop this time and was told again, a pin was damaged. I don't know if the first place gave me a damaged port or never removed the old one. I thought this was really strange, but could not dispute it and again had a new usb port installed ($45.00 this time, and a 90-day warranty).
So this time the usb port is working, and the charge comes across the battery icon to show that the battery is charging, except that it never charges up the battery. Overnight charging later, the battery indicates the charge is still where it was when I originally started charging - but - I seem to be able to work on the tablet for many hours with the charger attached. So, the charger does not charge the battery but it seems to work like an electrical cord and keep electricity going into the tablet for as long as I need to use it. Trouble is I can't take the tablet anywhere if I can't guarantee I will find a wall plug to plug into.
So I thought maybe the battery is the problem. I installed Battery Guru, but it says the battery health is 90%. When I remove the charger the battery level starts to drop, but when I plug it back in, it does not increase, but doesn't decrease either.
Can anyone tell me what is going on? I don't want to go back to the shop and have to spend more money without a guarantee anything will be fixed.

I think thats fine. This is a gray area since 2 companies have worked on it. I don't think you should have to keep paying over and over to get the same thing fixed if it is breaking for no reason. Is it possible for the last company that repaired it to contact RIM for a possible RMA or other repair options?

Strange behavior from a PB G4 (Part 2)

On to my next issue. Often when I'm typing the insertion point will jump to someplace other than where it should be or just disappear all together. I'm not doing anything to cause it to do this. I've been being really carefull to not to do anything wrong. I'ts often enough to be a real nuisance. It happened 7 times during my first post (Strange behavior from a PB G4) and 3 times during this one. Please help. Thanks.

Did you use the iFixit website? It has excellent pictures and instructions that are easy to follow.
Replacing any hard disk drive will be challenging for a paraplegic, but with someone's help it can be done fairly inexpensively. There are many tiny fasteners that require tiny tools. Use an egg carton to store them, separated by their location in the PowerBook.
Earlier PowerBooks are easier to work on than later ones.
I still use a PowerBook G4 on occasion, mostly for importing video for editing in iMovie. I upgraded its original 60 GB HD to a much larger one. If you were to do this you would need to locate the PowerBook's original System Install DVD to install and subsequently update OS X and all its original programs.
If you ensure at least a few gigabytes free space, I think most of your problems will be fixed. When free disk space gets down to a few hundred megabytes or less, performance will suffer dramatically. You don't want it to ever get anywhere near that low. Strange things start to happen.
Keep the number of icons on the Desktop to a minimum also. That makes a difference, for reasons that I do not fully understand.

Strange behavior in updating and standbying

Hi,
In the last 4 weeks I've been facing some strange behavior from my iPhone 4. First, sometimes when I pick it up its screen is already on (dimmed) and showing the lock screen (with some elements missing though). Secondly, and more annoying yet, when I try to update the apps via app store the initial process occurs normally but after loading the first app it begins installing it and keeps in it forever. I have to soft reset the phone. After that, the app (that kept installing) seems ok. So, I repeat the process of update from the beginning (app after app).
I've already tried to hard reset the device without any luck with any of the problems. Any suggestions about what is going on?
Thanks
Adriano

Hi,
I'm not clear on the distinction you're making for type of access.
Well, to be honest, now that I've re-read that this morning I'm not completely sure what I had in mind either. I think I was thinking about using the collection in what I believe the documentation calls "slices". However, given the other information you've posted it doesn't seem like that would be a feasible alternative in any case.
I understand what you mean about varray and nested-table with the upper-bound limit for the varray's... I've not actually compared the two for performance so my idea that there may be a difference could be completely incorrect. Beyond that, creating code that only works in batches (or slices) may be less performant than what you currently have.
I hope I've not detracted from the thread and maybe someone else with more experience will have an "ah ha!" sort of observation.
Regards,
Mark

If you bought the iPhone from an authorized store/vendor, you should have taken the iPhone to them or any other Apple Store for evaluation under warranty.
Once it has been opened by non-Apple entity, Apple will not do anything for this.

iPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?

Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Strange Behavior from iTunes 7.2

Running itunes - 7.2Recently had my itunes library “corrupted” or non functional.
Spent a long, long time rebuilding the library (see below) and noticed some strange behavior that has me terrified that itunes is corrupted and I am going to loose all the hard work, etc..
1. I have about 100 GB of music in various formats (apple protected/itunes store, mp3 (128 to 320), apple lossless, wav) and when I tried to rebuild the library by clicking on add to library it only added about 65 GB of the 100 GB. I had to go through and figure out what was missing and manually choose the specific folder when I added it.
Major pain and very time consuming.
So it is not adding songs correctly, but through way too much effort able to work around this.
2. About ½ of the itunes store tunes I purchased are no longer apple protected format. Somehow they were converted to mp3 at 192kbs. Some of the songs play fine others are now not as crisp and make a poping sound or skip. How could this happen? Are these files corrupted? Will I loose them?
3. At the top center of itunes the information bar, where the read out is for what song is playing and how much time has elapsed in the song, is not working. When I click on a song it starts playing but the elapsed time bar and counter never move, and when the next song starts playing the information never changes. It is stuck on what ever song you initiate play with by clicking on it and the information stays frozen.
4. itunes randomly stops playing at the end of a song….If listening to an album it is usually after three or four songs and when listening to a play list it is usually after one song.
I am afraid itunes is corrupted and will not function correctly and I am going to loose the hard work I put in trying to recover from the last crash.
Any suggestions??
Can’t wait for time machine. I hope it works as advertised. If so I could just go back in time to the last time iTunes worked correctly and go from there.

First of all I hope that you have a good b/u of all your tunes - either on ext HD or on DVD. Don't forget to b/u the iTunes Library and .xml files at the same time.
Have you tried to reinstall iTunes? Drag the app to the trash and remove the iTunesX.pkg from HD>Library>Receipts>iTunesX.pkg. Using a fresh .dmg of iTunes 7.2 reinstall.
Have you repaired permissions with Disk Utility?
Is your Quicktime up to date? At least version v7.1.5.

Strange behaviors between TextInputSkin and StageTextInputSkin

Hi All,
I met a very strange behaviors, and need help with, any idea will be truly appreicated.
I have a phone field and date field both from TextInput field, I aslo have textfieldskin which is original from TextInputSkin.
When I apply the TextInputSkin to the TextInput field, the softKeyboard Type can not be modified. I found out that as TextDisplay is not StyleableStageText, the autocorrect, type, etc can not be modified while StageTextInputSkin will work just fine.
However, when I applied the StageTextInputSkin to my fields, the mouse click event can not be rececived any more...
My question: How can I change the softkeyboardType and be able to receive mouse click event at same time if my control is from TextInput?
Kind Regards,

6 months, and a new cs6 with no improvements on this issue.
My biggest problem is with an android ICS unit the softkeyboarddeactivated gets called when the keyboard switches and shows the mic speak input keyboard but softkeyboardactivating or activated does not get called when the mic input keyboard is shown.
Also the scrolling bug is horrible and needs to be fixed.
and keypresses are needed.
and being able to layer the native components would be great.
im sad.

Strange behavior with Zoom and Image control

HELP - I have a strange behavior (bug?) with using Zoom
effect on an Image that has been placed on a Canvas. I am using
dynamically instantiated images which are placed on a canvas inside
a panel. I then assign a Zoom IN and Zoom Out behavior to the
image, triggered by ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT effect triggers. THE BUG
is that the image jumps around on the Zoom OUT and lands on a
random place on the canvas instead of coming back to the original
spot. This is especially true if the mouse goes in and out of the
image very quickly. HELP -- what am I doing wrong? Computer = Mac
OS X 10.4.9 Flex 2.0.1
Here's a simple demo of the bug -- be sure to move the mouse
in and out rapidly:

There must be bugs in the Zoom effect code -- I changed the
Zoom to Resize in the above code, and it works perfectly. Of
course, Resize is not as nice as Zoom because you can't set the
resize to be around the center of the image, but at least it works.
Does anyone know about bugs in the Zoom effect?

VERY strange error message and behavior from ipod and itunes software

Hi. I have two major issues with itunes 7.02 and ipod.
1) After a successful install, and after double-clicking my desktop itunes icon, the program opens, but it takes about 5 minutes to load (I kid you not, maybe longer)... I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling 5 seperate times and it never opens any quicker. Please help, extremely frustrating.
2)THE BIGGER PROB: I get the following error message when connecting my ipod (video) to my computer (itunes is already opened at this point, as it does NOT open automatically): " The software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the ipod's software. Problem is, I have reinstalled itunes 5 or 6 times already! HELP! Thank you!

in sorry i cant help with the speed thing,
make sure you install all the software from the CD your ipod came with, if that dosent work, try updating your ipods firmware : http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Good luck and welcome to the forums

Macbook Pro Late 2008 not recognizing battery and not charging

Hello
i really need some help please
i have a Macbook pro 15" Late 2008 running os x 10.7.4
i will say briefly how did the problem begin and what is the problem
it stopped charging for some reason the magsafe light was (and still is) dim green and at the battery icon it said not charging but after a couple of hours that it was turned off and connected i found out it is charging really slowly
later on that week
i was using an app called DSLR remote connected to my camera i left my macbook on the table outside connected via usb to my camera waited on it and came back
when i came back my mac was out of battery
i took it in hook it up to the magsafe nada nothing not charging dim light
so what i did i knew my magsafe charger is ready to be changed so i bought a new one
tried it same problem
later on did an smc reset
it did turn on biw the fans are really loud the battery icon (x) and it said no batteries available
so i tried my old fastly drained battery it used to hold up about 1-2 hours then i bought another battery but that was in the past
so i tried both batteries smc reseting with both same result
the smcfancontrol app says fan speed 000 rpm and temoerature 0 C
and one more thing when the mac is off and not connected to the magsafe i click on the battery indicator light on the left side i get a flashing light (battery empty needs to be charged) when i connect the magsafe it stops working even when its off and while its just connected
so it is and SMC problem
it has been like that for the past 4 weeks or so
i really need some help
and im from israel so no apple genius bars around =_= and i have a good technical knowledge
Sincerely, Sari Hassoun

its not about solving or not its about trying to
i understand nobody wants to make any harm to my macbook
thats reasonable
anyway its a hardware faliure of some sort i'll need to check it my self but now im almost sure its not software because i've tried many things
my other option is to run it off a battery
the thing is my battery is out so when its attached the battey indicator lights do work (they are controled by the SMC) that might solve it too
thanks for replying really
its appreciated

Strange behavior from portal

Hello All,
I have a form portlet and a report portlet on the same tabbed page. The form portlet receives the input parameters for the report portlet. The form portlet is based on a stored procedure. The values are passed to the stored procedure and the stored procedure is executed. After the procedure is executed, I place the following code in the on success box in the form:
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">');
htp.p('javascript:history.go(-1)');
htp.p('</script>');
This causes the browser to return to the previous screen which at this point has the data from the procedure execution(procedure populates temp table, report is run off of the temp table) displayed in the report. The problem is that all of this works perfectly from MY computer. However, when viewing this from other machines the browser simply blinks(refreshes super fast) and does nothing and the user is left there looking at the initial page with their parameters still in the form.
I noticed this behavior also in another tabbed page where there is a form based on a table and a report which uses the values from the form stored in the session object. That also works perfectly from my machine and one other machine but does not work from other desktop PCs. I am out of ideas as to how to solve this. I set the top level page to Don't Cache thinking this it would solve the problem but it did not.
Does anyone have any suggestions or have seen this problem before?

I would suggest checking the following things:
* browser versions - different browser versions may behave slightly differently for the same javascript
* also check the cache settings of the browser - there is a setting in IExplorer about page caching (Internet Options-> general tab -> Temp files -> Settings -> "check for newer versions of the page") which should be "Every visit to the page" - I have seen similar strange behaviour when that is not so (default is "automatically" which may decide that it will just use the last cached version)

Strange behaviors from SG300-10MP

Hi, everyone. Was hoping to get some advice and assistance regarding two issues with a brand new SG300-10MP our company recently bought.
1. I've been having difficulty getting a proper trunk port to work on this, as compared to the Cisco Catalyst 2960's. My office has temporarily been relocated to another space in our building. The core switch in this side of the building is a 2960 series. This room has a single network jack in it. That jack is plugged into the 2960 directly on a trunk port with no explicit vlans as native, allowed or disallowed. Pretty much the config of the port is "Switchport mode trunk" and that's it. I'm sharing this space with another person on the IT team and we both have multiple computers and VoIP phones, so we've placed a NetGear FS726TP switch in here that has 12 PoE ports (for the VoIP phones) and 12 non-PoE for everything else. Port 25 on this switch appears to be configured as a trunk port with all VLANs being tagged. The VLANs on this switch are (1, 3, 6, 10, 11, 1001 and 2). VLAN 6 is for PC's, 11 is for VoIP phones, 1001 is for management, and 1 is the default VLAN and also is the PVID for port 25. Everything plugged into the NetGear is working as expected. The SG300-10MP's port 9 is plugged into the NetGear's port 26. I've configured port 26 identically to port 25, so as far as the NetGear is concerned, that should be a trunk port. I've attempted to configure the SG300-10MP's port 9 as a trunk, but I've found that first I need to manually create all my VLANs on it that I want to use on the switch (in this case, 1, 6, 10, 11 and 1001), and then for the trunk to actually work as expected, I have to explicitly allow the VLAN's on port 9 ("switchport trunk allowed vlan add all"). I've configured GE1-8 to be access ports on VLAN 6. The strange thing is, every 5 minutes I get this message on the console: "%CDP-W-NATIVE_VLAN_MISMATCH: Native VLAN mismatch detected on interface gi9." This only occurs if I have a computer plugged into GE1 on the SG300. The computer also has a second connection into the NetGear, so I suspect it might be an issue with spanning tree, although how the switch is communicating through my PC is unknown. When I first unboxed the SG300 and plugged my computer into a port, it was grabbing a valid DHCP address for VLAN 6 somehow through my PC. Does anyone have any idea why I keep getting this? I'd done a "sh cdp n detail" and this is what it gives me:

So, CDP appears to be working, seeing itself, the two VoIP phones and the core switch, but getting nothing from the NetGear (obviously). The Native VLAN on the core switch is 1 and the PVIDs on both trunk ports on the NetGear are also 1, the default VLAN on the NetGear is 1, all packets are tagged on ports 25 and 26, and I've even set GE9 on the SG300 as native vlan 1, but still getting these errors. Is this just a warning that's being caused by having that NetGear between the two Cisco switches or something else?
2. Whenever I make any changes to the VLANs on the switch from the command line, it always gives me this message: "Please ensure that the port through which the device is managed has the proper settings and is a member of the new management interface. Would you like to apply this new configuration? (Y/N)[N]" As mentioned above, VLAN 1001 is our management VLAN and I've assigned IP address 10.200.1.55, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 to interface VLAN1001. After I set that, if I make any changes to the VLANs, whether it be adding a new VLAN interface, or changing the IP address or removing an IP address, I'll get that message, choose "YES", and then I'll lose all IP connectivity to the rest of the VLAN1001 subnet. I look at the config and even if I was working with a VLAN other than 1001, the IP address I assigned to interface VLAN1001 will be gone. Also, the default gateway will be removed. So, every time I make any change to the VLANs, I have to go and re-do these things. Is this normal behavior for the configuration to blow itself up like this?
Help!

Looks like Cisco small business products dont support the cisco network assistant. I have tried the web console with both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
