Tab S8-50F Screen Issues

Hey all,
I am having two annoying issues with this device Maybe someone here can shed some light on.
1. This one is a tad hard to describe. Since getting the device, randomly when I power the screen on not all pixels will fire up to make a clear image. Particularly on very vibrant red and blue colours you can see little noisy white pixels dancing and moving uniformly on usually the left side of the screen where these reds and blues are. This can usually be remedied by turning of the screen and waiting 5 seconds just turning back on and the display is fine.
2. I believe I saw another user mention this next one in the resolution post. Since the most recent or 2nd most recent update the bright on the device will flicker as though someone is sliding the brightness slider from side to side. This can be remedied by fully restarting the device and then will not occur again until a few hours of uptime.
Any thoughts or ideas for permanent fixes for either of these issues is appreciated.

I also have this issue. A reboot fixes it but this is very annoying. It acts like it has an ambient light sensor to adjust brightness that has gone crazy.

Lenovo TAB S8 50F touch screen - additional touches when charged w/ insufficient charge

As the title says
There are additional registered touches when the tablet is charging with an insufficient charge that follow the same horizontal line (going across the tablet or the same y coordinates) that appear at mostly random locations (although they start at the opposite side where the single touch is applied).
Issue can be replicated and seen especially when typing, issue is clearly seen when "show touches" is on (under developer options). Issue present after restarting device; it is not always seen as soon device is charging with an insufficient charger but very soon afterwards (within minutes).
Issue not present when device is discharging or charging with provided charger or higher amperage.

It'd be good to know if this is replicated/observed on other devices.

No cursor in address bar after opening a new tab on full screen mode

Hello all!
When opening a new tab in full screen mode, I noticed that the cursor dissappears from the address bar. Since I cannot write the address without clicking the bar, I think this is a very annoying issue...
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thank you.

Try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

Firefox freezes the computer for about 20-30 seconds (not even Alt+Tab works), the screen blinks black and then it shows the desired page. Does that several times at the beginning, then sort of stabilizes.

This happens even if I simply hover the mouse over bookmarks, not even opening a page.
And waiting for this to happen some times or closing and re-opening seems to make it work ok again.
I've already disabled almost all add-ons (I'm using only one for Flash and NoScript right now), reinstalled Firefox (8.0.1), restoring only the bookmarks from an older version.

* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''

Well...That's why the update failed to install.If you root the device and uninstall pre-installed system apps(those that you can't normally uninstall) OTA updating stops working.
Try to perform a factory reset (in the hope it will restore those apps...slim chance but worth a try).
If that dosen't work the only way you will be able to OTA update (and,no...manually downloading the update>installing it from recovery also won't work) is to completely reflash the stock firmware(on your own risk).
Unfortunately you'll have to find out how to do that on your own.Sorry
PS:Generally speaking it's better to ''hibernate''(after rooting) not uninstall if you want to OTA update in the future.

How to display a specific tab in a screen after a popup message

Hi all,
 I've a rewuirement where in i need to display a secific tab in a screen after popping up a warning message. To be specific, when i choose 'Yes' in the popup window, it shoud take me to a tab which is not active while displaying the warning popup.
Thanks in advance....

Hi
U need to active the tab you want to show:
So you should set the ok_code (of the tab) value to field ACTIVETAB
<TABSTRIP>-activetab = <OK_CODE>.
And transfer the value of subscreen number to the subscreen area:
CALL SUBSCREEN SUBSCREEN1
 INCLUDING G_CTRL_TABSTRIP-PROG
 G_CTRL_TABSTRIP-SUBSCREEN.

N8/C7 PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IF YOU H...

MODS THIS IS NOT A POLL OR IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM A VOTING THREAD IT IS A THREAD TO WARN USERS ABOUT THE PURPLE SCREEN ISSUE AND HOW TO SPOT IT IN THEIR PHONES CLEAR AS DAY , I HAVE BEEN INFORMED FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COMUNICATIONS AT NOKIA VIA TWITTER THAT THIS THREAD IS OK AND THE TEST IMAGE IS FINE TO LOAD UP
The following has been added by vandelay (Nokia administrator) :
Please note that there is normally a slight variation in the purple color level in each display
unit. This is related to the display manufacturer's optical tuning process. However, some Nokia C7 and Nokia N8 users seem to be experiencing a
slightly higher level of purple color tint on their device screens.
Nokia Care's technical experts told me that the easiest way to spot this problem is to just look at the black idle screen of the device - if there is a clear purple color tint on the idle screen, you should have the device inspected at a Nokia Care point. They will repair the device the device under warranty if there is a clear defect in the device.
So seeing some purple on the test image does not necessarily mean that your screen is faulty, but we hope that it helps some people to decide whether they should visit a Nokia Care point.
(end of vandelay's addition)
as you may or may not have read many n8s and c7s have a purple tint issue
this can easily be spoted by saving the picture below to your pc , transfering it to your n8/c7 , then viewing the image in your gallery
if the image shows purple squares in some areas then iam afraid you have one of the screens that is showing defects in gradiation of colurs and the greyscale
there are also many n8s out in the wild that dont have this problem , i have 3 n8s , my gfriend has one , hers is perfect and shows the test image with no purple tint at all my three n8s all have purple tint and some display it worse then others
the test image can be viewed on any brightness and it should display just as it does on your monitor screen ,my gfriends n8 displays the image perfect under all brightness levels yet my three n8s show the purple tint heavily on low brightness and not as much on full brightness
the test image can also be viewed via tv out and hdmi out and again if you have a defect screen you will see the image perfect on your tv yet on your n8 screen you will have purple tints
here is the test image for you to load to your device and view via the gallery
as stated above if you have one of the screens with defects in colour gradiation you will see some of the squares as purple
this shouldnt be happending as there n8s out there that display the test image perfectly
from all my research on this in the last month and my time studying ICT systems support in which i have a diploma , it seems clear to me that nokia have used at least two screens in the build of the n8
many phones bought between october launch and december dont have the problem yet there are still some that do but not as many as now , phones bought from the end of december up untill current date seem to have the issue moreand its now nearly impossible to find one without the purple tint issue
this leads me to believe that from the start nokia were using at least two screen in the n8 , then one started to run out around december and by the end of december a huge majority of n8/c7 handsets have the troubles, if not all of them shipped after december
infact ive been to every phone shop in lakeside , chelmsford , colchester which included : carphone warehouse , o2 , vodafone , orange , three , phones4u , tmobile all n8/c7 handsets i asked to look at had the problem not one n8 i looked at didnt have the issue
i have been in contact with nokia care escalation team , all they did is send me very badly refurbed handsets back for my brand new n8s , which across all three handsets had the following faults
#hdmi covers scratched and worn
#no imei number under the hdmi cover on one of them
#torx screws on battery cover very worn
#plastic top caps not fitted right
#one had a huge gap between the silver screen surround and the main chasis of n8
#they all still had purple tint issue
so nokia sent me three refurbed handsets for my brand new n8s , i obvously complained as they were so new i could have taken them back to the shops with the reciept but now nokia had changed the imei numbers my reciept was useless , i said i should be sent three brand new n8s , they again sent me badly refurbed handsets just as bad as the 1st lot and again all three of them had purple screen issues
i complained again and this time supervsior took over the case and agreed that 3 new n8s should be sent to me as mine was so new , she got them sent out and this time they were new but they still have the purple screen issue
thats a toatal 12 n8s direct from nokia and all of them have had the issue so i cant recomend going to a nokia care point or nokia care uk as the refurbs i was sent was a complete joke and looked like they were just used handsets that had been through a rough time
through this month of me talking to nokia and sending emails and getting these phones swapped back to a condition of the phones that i sent them , they have said they are investigating it and taking it seriously however after some of their actions towards users (myself included) on these forums it doesnt seem like they are taking it very serious at all , they have known about it for a month now and we still have not had an offical response from nokia themselves

http://n8geeks.com/nokia-n8-amoled-display-issue/
there are many more threads about this issue across the net and if you google n8 screen problems or n8 purple screen problems you will come acroos many many pages of unhappy users from all across the globe
i just hope nokia sort this out soon
ho do you users with the problem feel about this issue and how do you think nokia should resolve it
id be happy for a screen swap at a nsc or via warranty postal repair as long as it could be done quickly and the user wasnt without their phone for too long after all this is nokias mistake and not the users that bought the phone so all fixes should be at minimal disturbance to them
heres hoping when you test the image your not as unlucky as me and many other n8 owners from across the globe , its a brilliant phone but this screen issue lets it down alot especially during watching films and stuff

sorry to hear you guys are having troubles too , its a shame sucha great device as the nokia n8 has had an issue like this arise , it is effecting alot of n8/c7 handsets and is quite a widespread issue across the globe
it would be great to hear from as many users as possible about this and what they think about it as a user of the c7/n8
jimmyireland about your post mate
yes it was written by me and yes it ws deleted not once but 3or4 times actually
the mods said it was because i had set up a poll and voting system , so i read through forum rules and posted it again with what fitted their guidelines and even put in big caps that it was not a poll but a thread to help users identify a problem and discuss it which is what the forum is for , it was deleted again , i then posted it again with just the test image and how to spot the problem and again put big caps that the post fitted their guidelines and was just to help users , it was again deleted and i was banned by mods for 2 days saying that i had broke forum rules and posted a poll and that the test image wasnt a proper test image
i then asked other users to post the image but when they tryed nokias spam filter kicked in with a message saying that their post contained spam and that they should write it again and try posting again
to be honest it really looked like they were trying to cover up the issue , fair enough my 1st post could be considered a very very rough poll but the posts i made afterwards were edited to fit nokias guidelines and they still removed them ad banned me and then other users posts were marked as spam
so i tweeted alot of people and even nokia have said that as long as the post doesnt contain polls/votes then it will be fine to postand that mods shouldnt delete it , which was excellent news and hopefull this thread will stay and users can load the image and test their screens and then discuss the issue here so nokia can see users discussion in one thread , it will alo help awareness of the issue
hence this post that isnt a poll but a thread to help users identify wether their n8/c7 has a screen with a defect in the gradiation of colours
as stated in original post not all n8s have this problem my gfriends doesnt and it displays the test image perfectly on all brightness settings , yet my n8s show the image as very purple on low brightness and the brighter the screen goes the less the purple is shown , it is still there just not as visible as it is in the lower brightness settings
as i also mentioned many n8s between october and mid december are fine although some still have the problem , yet from mid december till current date the amount of n8s with purple issue is much much higher and it now seems very very rare that you will get a brand new n8 from the shops without this screen issue which leads me to believe that from launch nokia have used at least two screens in the builds of the n8 , some great screens and then the ones with dodgy purple tint , from the threads across the web it seems like the good screens nokia were using either run out or they have failed to source the same screen or the manufactuer of the screen has changed something
iam not a nokia hater and iam not here to cause trouble or loose nokia sales etc
i love nokia have used them for years and used symbian since the 6680 , iam always helping users across the web with their nokia problems and am an avid user on nokia users please check my profile and feel free to check my posts and how many times ive been thanked for being helpfull
http://www.nokiausers.net/forum/members/buxz777.html
as you can see i love nokia and spend alot of time using their devices , speaking highly of them and helping their users with problems, i also love good customer services and customer relations
i understand that big companys have build issues iam a gadget lover and trained in ict supprt iam not silly and understand that these things happend and building these phones with such complicated electronics and some could end up with issues , it could happend to anyone , sony , apple , samsung , blackberry , lg etc etc
however its how the companys react to these issues and relate to their customers that have spent 100s of pounds on their devices that is important , issues do arise , its how the company looks after its customers thats important
i think alot of users think the same , they dont expect nokia to click their fingers and go heres a fix but they do expect nokia to investigate the issue and they do expect nokia to relate to its customers and not ignore them or the issue which is what it looks like when posts are deleted and users are banned for posting informative posts that help users identify a problem
things like sending users really bad refurbs for brand new n8s also dont help users confidence in nokia statement of going to nokia care about the problem as all i got was second hand looking n8s that still have the problem they were sent off with and the originals were in much better condition
like i say iam not here to cause trouble and i love nokia the n8 is the best phone ive ever had and its almost my dream device and everything ive wanted on a device for years its the ultimate convergance device and agadget lovers dream , however when you see your gfriends and some of your mates n8 screens display the test image perfect then your n8 display it with a very purple hue it does dissapoint you and you do hope that nokia will take notice and fix the issue with the least amunt of hassle to the users
cheers jimmy and sorry about the long post just wanted to clear some things up
now lets get back to discussing the issue and what other users think about it
have a great evening

Screen error while adding table control to existing tab in BP screen

Hi experts,
Requirement: Add new section with table control in existing tab in BP screen. Purpose of creating table control is to add or delete multiple entries etc.
To fill this requirement, we have created custom transaction with table control facility. When we run this transaction from SAP easy screen, we are able to add, delete and create multiple records to database.
We have configured this custom program and screen in BDT (views) and saved.
When we call BP transaction we are getting following error message.
"Screen ZMOD_TEST1 0100 must be an Include screen (screen error)".
We are not sure, the approach we have chosen is correct. Incase, any one of you come across this type of problem, please guide us to rectify.
Thanks in advance.
Venky

Venky,
If you are on CRM 4.0 or even 5.0, my approach to adding a table to business partner attributes would have been the following:
- Use EEWB to generate the table extension
- Modify the generated code/screens if what was generated did not meet you complete requirements
However going back to your original question, if you add new screens for the BDT, then they must be "subscreens". The screens you create for the BDT tool are always subscreens placed in a container by the BDT program.
So your options are one:
1. Convert your screen to a subscreen and if you have coded all the BDT event function modules correctly it should work
2. Use EEWB to generate a new extension and make adjustments as necessary.
Good luck,
Stephen

The Windows 7 Black Screen Issue

I am putting in Bootcamp with a Windows 7 install. I checked these forums and made sure I had all my prep work done.
I referenced article TS3173 and downloaded the neccessary drivers for 7, formatted a 16GB SD Card as FAT Bootable and copied the drivers and autounattend.xml files onto the root of the drive.
THe installation as going as planned but at the end I'm still ending up with a black screen. Windows is installed ok but on the restart after" Preparing for FIrst Use" comes up the screen goes black.
Obviously, the drivers are not being installed from the SD card, I tried it on a USB External driver as well. Am I missing something here? I read every post I could find on it and I can't see where I am doing anything incorrectly.
Thanks
Tom

You don't need Paragon or another NTFS driver. That may work (I've used it, but I was using a full hard drive anyway to begin with).
Apple's method:

Tab in selection screen

Dear All,
I have to developed a new report in which I have to diplay two different report.For that two different report there are two different selection screen.I have developed two tabs in selection screen for two different report.
There are some mandatory fields in each screen,Now problem is that I can't go second tab unless I fill value in mandatory field.
But my requirment is when I want to go for second report then I will go for second tab without filling any value in tab 1 selection screen
Please give a sollution.
Regards,
Amar

Hi Amar,
<li>You can achieve the same using Dialog program . Instead of selection-screen, use dialog programming, use MODULE mod_name AT EXIT-COMMAND to navigate one tab to another tab. Once you give input on any tab and want to display data use LEAVE TO LIST PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 0.
<li>Check the link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/9f/dbaa9535c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
<li>Normally AT EXIT-COMMAND is used to exit without giving mandatory fields. We can use for this situation.
Thanks

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.

Gray screen issue still in Reader 11.0.03

Hi, it sounds like the PDF gray screen issue mentioned here: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-opens-grey-screen-browser.html
has been fixed in 10.1.3. Has it been fixed in 11.0.03? I have the latest Xi version installed and am still experiencing this problem.

Hi, C F McBlob,
Thanks for the help and the suggestion. I turned on Compatibility View in IE and I still see the gray screen. The ActiveX control should take the same setting that I've set in the browser, right?
Also, shouldn't it be an Adobe issue rather than an IE issue if the exact same setup works with Adobe 9?

White screen issue on Compag

My Compaq is currently displaying only a white screen. The laptop boots up fine and displays fine on an external monitor.
I have taken it apart and reseated the connectors on both the screen and the motherboard with no effect. So I am sure it's not a loose connection.
Before I go and splash out on a new replacement screen, is this an issue that is usually seen when the screen itself is at fault. Could it be the cable? or the connection on the motherboard itself. Is there a way to be certain?
I don't want to buy a new screen and find it's not at fault.
Many thanks!

Hello, @Skyfox
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you have a white screen issue with the notebook. I will try to assist you.
With the steps you've taken and the fact it works correctly with an external, leaves only the display screen as the possible cause. That being said, there is no 100% way to know that it is not a cable causing the issue.
Typical steps for this issue:
Restart notebook
Hard reset notebook
Test with external monitor
Reconnect LCD cables and check all other display cables
Have notebook serviced.
You're at the point of service. This really limits the options, and a display replacement may not correct the issue.
I hope this adds any insight to the choice you need to make next.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
