  • Pureview 808 - Need constant screen brightness: Ho...

    On the Nokia 808, even though the screen brightness is set to a predefined brightness and Power Saving mode is Off, the screen brightness can change at times.  The time limit for the backlight is set at 60 seconds, but the LCD screen can dim a bit within that time.  My guess is the brightness changes in response to ambient light changes.
    Its hard to adjust exposure compensation and evaluate photos for proper exposure when the LCD screen brightness changes on me.
    Anyone know how to keep the LCD display brightness constant?
    Thanks in advance,
    Keith.

    Wow, thank you very much!  By downloading the "Brightness" app, the screen brightness is now constant!
    Now I'm able to get a handle on how much exposure compensation to use since the display isn't a variable anymore.
    Also it appears that I'm not losing images when shooting in burst mode anymore.  Perhaps the change in screen brightness operation led to corrumption while the image was being saved.  Before the Brightness app, 1 out of 3 images in a burst would almost always be lost.  Its too early to know for sure.  Only time will tell if the corruption problem has been completely mitigated as  a byproduct of using the Brightness app.
    Thanks again,
    Keith.

  • Can we load data in variable screen from flat file?

    Hello all,
    One of my user once asked me she needs to run a report for some employees, i said you can just type that in employee varaible input box.
    She said I need to run the report and I need it for 120 employees, she has the employee numbers in excel sheet.
    What is the best way of doing this if any ?
    Thanks

    This can be done from a flat file, which has list of all values.
    If you are using Bex 3.5, then we have an icon in variable screen bottom right to upload values, where we can specify the path of the file.

  • Compounded characteristic are not displayed in the variable screen (BI 700)

    Hi Experts,
    How to display compounded characteristic  in the variable screen of queriies?
    Example :
    IO 0PROFIT_CTR is compounded to 0CO_AREA. Tryimg to select 0PROFIT_CTR via a variable,
    only values of 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed in F4 opo up, not those of 0CO_AREA.
    0CO_AREA is not restricted in any way in query definiton.
    This happens in BEx Analyser as well as in web apllication.
    Did anybody face this issue? How to solve it?
    Thanks in advance for helpful replies.
    Regards
    Joe

    Hi,
    Thanks for replies. Possibly I did't explain my problem i a correct way.
    'I 've a variable for 0PROFIT_CTR. When I call F4 , values for 0PROFIT_CTR are displayed
    e.g. as
    7062 PC 7062
    7062 PC /062
    My problem is, that these PCs belong to different Co_areas. so i expected
    3200 7062 PC 7062
    4300 7062 PC 7062
    3200 an 4300 are representing compounded Co_areas in this example. In 3.5 this worked perfectly,
    if Co_areas was not restricted itself with a variable or a defined value.
    Now I'm looking for the option to achieve this as well in 700.
    Regards
    Joe

  • MacBook Pro 13" screen brightness

    I just bought a 13" MacBook Pro and find the screen brightness and contrast is much less than expected. It basically has to be turned up full on AC to be acceptable, which is very unexpected, since I am typing on a 16 month old MacBook Air now that is about the same at 80% of screen brightness. The contrast is less pronounced on the new machine, too, and the notion of 60% more color saturation seems faulty. I am going to return it and see if the Apple Store thinks this is normal or a faulty screen. Am I being unreasonable to think the new MBP screen should be at least equivalent to the original Air screen?
    Message was edited by: MacBook

    Yes, I agree that there is something different about the two displays. I conducted my own side-by-side comparison -- in the same room lighting, and also switching the places of the two machines -- and found at any given setting, the 13" MacBook Pro was darker than the MacBook Air. Furthermore, when I first started the machine, the MBP's keyboard backlighting would not go off, no matter the lighting. Then, when I went to make these comparisons, the MBP's keyboard backlighting would not come on.
    This linked picture is a composite from two pictures taken in succession in the same lighting and angles, just as they came out of the camera, showing the relative brightness of the two. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2547/3844348963e76728bce2o.png
    So, I packed up the machine for a trip to the Apple Store and either an exchange or a return.

  • Variable screen performance in report

    In my project we are having  somany master data objects,
    we have to find the performance of selection screen ,earlier we have only display as selection screen  as key now according to our client requirment we are providing both key and text in sleection screen with long text , how can i find these master data objects performance in variable screen.
    The SAP std out of the box setting for an Infoobject is usually the key.( Sometimes text )
    We are now making changes to almost all info objects to display as key and text, and depending on what business is asking we are changing to Long text, medium or short.
    Investigation required
    1)       how does it affect the performance when we do F4 help
    2)       how does it help in search by text
    3)       what difference does it make when searching by key vs text.
    My feel is if we show the key and text , definitely the key comes from Dimension table and the text will be fetched from the text table of the master data attribute
    And hence for business partner etc it might really affect the time taken to fetch the variable values.
    please help how to find the performance of variables.

    Yeah, It won't have much impact on the performance of the selection screen.......
    Even we are displaying both key and text for many reports but never faced a performance issue.......

    The logic could be to include code in CMOD forat variable with ISTEP=2.
    IF I_STEP = 2.
    LOOP AT i_t_var_range into wa_t_var_range where vnam = 'Date Varaible'

  • F4 input help on Variable screen is not working on Portal

    Dear Experts,
    We are facing one issue when we run the WAD report on portal, variable screen gets hang after clicking on input help button (F4) for couple of variables. We are facing same issues when we run the base queries on portal. But when we run the same base queries in RSRT (Tcode) or in BEx Analyzer we are not facing this issue and able to get the input help screen with values.
    I also have gone through some old posts related to such issues but didn't help much. We are already on SAP BW 7.4 SP Level 008 and for Char IO Query Filter Value setting is kept as "Values in Master Data Table" only. This is a MD IO with Compounding.
    Kindly let me know if anyone has faced such issue.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Nilesh

    Dear Martin,
    There is a no long running work process in the backend and data volume is more in Master Data Table, there are around 19 Lacks records available.
    For BI Java patch and defaultTrace for errors I will check it with BASIS Admin team. Unfortunately I don’t have rights to do same.
    Thanks,

  • Variable screen/variant screen authorization issue

    HI All,
    We have implemented standard Cost Center Overview Report(0SR_C02_Q0002) in BI 7.
    We have three selection fields:
    1.Company Code which is mandatory
    2.My controlling Area which is also mandatory
    3.Costcenter which is not mandatory
    The requirement we are facing over here is that in the Variable screen/variant screen when I enter a company code, then I need to display dynamically only those "My Controlling Area" values which are assigned to that particular company code and not all. In the same way after selecting the appropriate "My controlling area" value, I need to display only those cost centers in the cost center selection field which are assigned to the selected company code and My controlling area combination and not all.
    can anyone guide me on how to go about on this authorization issue at the variable screen itself.
    Please treat this issue/requirement on high priority.
    Appreciated in advance.
    Regards,
    raps.

    Hi,
    I think that an alternative to solve your concern could be using Web Application Designer (WAD).  In this respect, there are several design options, with different levels of complexity.
    As the simplest alternative, you could create a WAD including your query and three Dropdown Boxes: one for Company, a second for Controlling area and another for Cost center.  The four mentioned elements should be linked to the same dataprovider so, when you select a company, the options in the other two Dropdown boxes and the information in the query are updated.
    In order to enforce mandatory filter selection at Company and Controlling area level, you should set NO_REMOVE_FILTER='X' in both two Dropdown boxes, so that "All values" option -which would mean no filtering- is not offered.
    I hope this helps you.
    Regards,
    Maximiliano

  • Bookmark Issue in WAD (Report Output without Variable Screen)

    Hi ,
    This issue is with the Saving of Report Output to Bookmark.
    Expected Output:
    Clicking on the Bookmark should bring out the Report Output with the Period and Year, which was used while saving the Bookmark. It should not pop up variable screen at the beginning.
    Issue:
    Currently, when I click the bookmark, Its triggers the default template and it brings out the  Variable Screen with the default Selections, which i dont want to. I need to get the same output with the values which I saved under Bookmark.
    Please suggest me a solution...
    Thanks / Selvan

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9): Win7 + screen brightness adjustment issue

    hi all,
    thank you for reply!!!
    ok, i tried to install VAP and Flash Card Utility for Satellite L500. first, installing Flash Card Utility i got invalid serial number error. i've read in forum that it might be due to inappropriate driver for my version on laptop or if i did not install VAP first. so, second, i tried to installed VAP, but i get value "Setup tvap error 0x8146045B" :(
    according my display driver: it was nVidia driver automatically installed with win7. in fact there is no display driver for win7 64bit version on toshiba website... i guess i have more problems with display, as my secondary display blinks every time some system event like driver/program installation or usb device plugging-in or -out happens.

  • Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Problems (Switchable Graphics, Screen Brightness Adjustment, etc.)

    Hi guys! I hope you can help me with this.
    My laptop is a Lenovo U400 bought last April. I upgraded it yesterday to Windows 8 Pro.
    The Upgrade Assistant detected incompatibilities on the following softwares (I'll be mentioning only those I had problems with after the update.)
    -AMD Catalyst Install Manager
    -Catalyst Control Center
    -Lenovo Energy Management
    -Cypress Trackpad
    After the update, the following problems occurred
    -Windows kept prompting me about the incompatibility of Catalyst Control Center and Lenovo Energy Management
    -When I check the Device Manager -->Display Adapters, My AMD Radeon HD 6470M was changed to HD 7400M and has an exclamation point on it indicating a problem. When check Properties it says, "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
    -I can't manage switchable graphics because the AMD Radeon driver has been stopped by the OS and Catalyst Control Center doesn't work. It says, "Catalyst Control Center cannot be started. There are currently no settings that can be configured using Catalyst Control Center."
    -My touchpad works but does not support multitouch functions.
    -Screen brightness adjustment stopped working both on hotkeys and Power Options.
    I tried the following actions to fix the problems:
    -Downloaded the new softwares from Lenovo Support but the Catalyst Control Center and Cypress Trackpad still doesn't work. I also tried installing driver software from the AMD site but it still didn't work. [FAILED]
    -I tried to use the Cypress Trackpad software for U300s/e and it fixed the problem with the touchpad [FIXED]
    -Installed the Energy Management software for Windows 8 but when I click the 'Optimized Battery Health' button, it keeps reverting back to 'Maximum Battery Life'. [PARTIALLY FIXED]
    -Resorted to 3rd party software to fix the Switchable Graphics (Catalyst 12.11 Beta from leshcatlabs.net) and it fixed the switchable graphics problem as well as the Catalyst Control Center problem. This is temporary until a working solution or update is available. [TEMPORARILY FIXED]
    -All actions trying to fix the Screen brightness adjustment didn't work. [FAILED]
    Please do help me on this. Thanks in advance!!!

    Yes I own U400 too and I'm using it now. To many forums been read, can't remember which one. Basically, u have to clean AMD and Intel drivers that come along with Win 8. Why? Because the Win8 driver database will lead the device ID "DEV_6760" (if you looking at display adapter device properties) to HD 7400 series instead of HD 6470M, again why? At the bigining only the HD 7400 series already "certified" by Microsoft, while the 6470M out of somewhere. Current CCC (or else) + 6470 drivers, contain also driver for 7400 series in same packages (at least until now, hopefully near future they will release an update). So you can gues where the windows will lead to? Yes 7400 series (certified one). This will explain also why the Energy Management didn't work to= "missing identifier" or we can say "hardware not match".
    You have to find a "fix" driver which contain only HD 6470M and install it manually trhu "Have Disk" option, after you claan all AMD and Intel driver. If you success, then install the CCC from Lenovo Support and from ATI ( I use 12.11 Beta8 Net4 CCC - this is a must), but remember to unchek the AMD Display driver when you install both CCC, and leave the rest checked including Intel Component. Then you can download install anything you want =).
    Leschat's driver did't work on my and "harm" the system. Believe it or not, I found the AMD 6470M standalone driver on HP website. They call it "SoftPack", which actually contain CCC software.
    It's quite tricky thing, that's why not everyone willing to try. But I think it's worth to try, as the risk is not too deep, just backup anything befor you do it. Cheer

    Hi Josef,
    My Default view is fine.
    User can see
    -     Plant
    -     BA
    -     PH 1
    -     PH 2
    -     PH 3
    -     PH 4
    User can enter any of these PH Levels and enter the layout. Once they are in the layout I have provided with the variable screen button on top of the Tabs. My Container Layout is like this (Rows Cell Floating)ROW 1 Buttons and Row 2 Tabs.
    So when the Click on the Row one Button (Variable Screen) the Variable Entry is opened and it is the same order as Default View but on top if the Variable Entry I see this Error message on Top of this Screen (Please select a Valid InfoObject).
    But I did try your option having to separate Container Layout. Still I see this message on top of the Variable screen.  which i am trying to get rid
