ZR screen rotation issue with lollipop

I updated my Xperia ZR to Lollipop yesterday, and found out the screen doesn't rotate itself when it's connected to the charging dock. Instead of rotates to horizontally in Android 4.1-4.4, the home screen now stays on portrait mode in Android 5.0.2. Anyone else has the same issue?

Hi,
Regarding the screen rotation, have you guys for example tried to boot the phone into safe mode to see if same behaviour appear?

Galaxy S6 Edge screen rotation issue

Has anyone else experienced a screen rotation issue on the S6 edge? My device is locked in portrait mode and will not rotate. Before you ask, YES SCREEN ROTATION IS TURNED ON.
I have spoken with both Verizon and Samsung tech support and they didn't have a clue other than swap out my phone. Doing a google search on S6 screen rotation issues pulls up a few hits with other people reporting the same issue. I have done 6 factory resets so far and it has not corrected the issue. I'm convinced this is a software glitch that will someday be fixed (hopefully soon).
I wanted to see how big an issue this was so I can determine if I stick it out with the S6 edge or return it within my 14 days and get something else.

Facing the same issue. Screen does not rotate at all. Went to local Verizon store, was informed that they do not have the device in stock and would only be able to replace once it's stocked.
The irritating part is that they didn't have any estimate when the replacement would be available. Seriously, either Samsung or Verizon underestimated the phone.
On pressing further, the alternate provided option was that I can order the new piece at retail price which would be overnight delivery and once I return my existing device, I would get the amount back.
I have decided to wait couple of days before taking this option. But I am wondering whether they actually don't have the device or they just want a new sale instead of replacement.

How do I fix rotate issue with thumbnail and full size?

When I look at photos in the thumbnail view the rotation is wrong. When I click and view the photo in full screen mode, the picture auto rotates. This is frustrating and I can't figure out how to fix the problem. I've taken a Youtube screen video to showcase the problem. Any suggestions appreciated!

Using iphoto 11 9.2.1

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails.
If that doesn't help:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Mac Pro Screen Freezing Issue with NVIDIA 8800 GT too

There were lots of entry in threads, where the screen freezing issue was described (disorted screen with strange lines, only reboot helps). Nearly all cases seem to be related to the ATI 2600 card.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358062&tstart=30
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365277&tstart=0
I opened this new thread to show, that this problems occurs not only for the ATI card but for the NVIDIA 8800 card, too.
My MacPro was delivered 8 days ago and was running without any problems. But all of a sudden, I got that screen freeze. And it wasn't the first time, I was heavely working 2-3 hours with that computer.
In total, 2 screen freezes showed on my computer. The first one during working with the computer. The second one during booting into MacOS X. The screen freeze occured during the boot phase with the grey screen and the spinning wheel.
My configuration:
MacPro 2.8, Dual Quad Core
6 GB RAM
3 harddisks, 1 standard from Apple, 2 Samsung with 750GB
MacOS 10.5.2
Formac 20" Monitor
Perhaps others have this problem, too? Than we should emphasize, that this is not an ATI related problem.

I've actually been having the freezing issue for a while now but I didn't have the know-how to troubleshoot it (PC tech trying to support the only Mac lab in the building).
MacPro will freeze randomly (no trend in time, system strain, or open programs). The mouse will operate but will not interact with anything.
Specs:
MacPro - Model 1,1
Dual Core Xeon 2.66
2gb RAM
nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
Mac OS 10.4.11
The machine always has 2 displays connected to it so the workaround that was discussed for the ATI 2600 doesn't apply. I had 1 display connected here in my shop and it froze for that as well.

IPhone 6 Plus screen rotation issue

The home and lock screens on my wife's iPhone 6 plus rotate. Can this be shut off? And if I turn on the screen rotation lock, will it stop rotation of the lock and home screens as well as the regular use screens (i.e. - apps, Safari, etc...)? Can these two functions (lock and home screen rotation and all other screen rotation) be set independent of each other?

I feel your pain! I have the same problem with my new iPhone 6. My iPhone 5s has cooler/brighter whites, but my iPhone 6 with a supposedly better screen shows them warmer/duller. I stopped at two T-Mobile stores this morning to compare my phone with their display models, and in both cases my phone look dull and drab. Because of the warmer whites, text has less contrast and therefor looks blurrier, too. I was considering going to an Apple Store to see if they could exchange the phone, but as you've demonstrated there's no guaranty that you'll get a better phone. After spending $850 on what I thought was a phone with a bigger, better display, I now wish I'd just stayed happy with my 5s or even considered switching back to an Android phone.

Firefox version 22 screen tearing issue with video

So I've updated to Firefox 22 and have recently started noticing this really annoying screen tearing issue when scrolling. its only when i use Firefox sometimes it happens when I'm watching videos sometimes it just happens on normal every day pages. I've tried to duplicate this issue in other browsers (Chrome) and it just only seems to happen with Firefox. anyone else experienced this and knows how to stop it? kinda annoying

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Full screen mode - Issue with Aperture freezing

Hi I have an issue with Aperture 3 freezing if I send an image to a plug-in or external editor while in full screen dual display mode. I have to exit full screen mode first and then send to photoshop/external plugin.
It is not a huge deal and a simple workaround but if I forget to do it Aperture will freeze and I will have to force quit the application.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

Just send a comment to Apple via "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
IME, both full-screen mode and dual-display mode have some rough edges. (I don't expect any improvements until OS 10.7, which is widely reported to include a full re-design of full-screen mode.)

Screen display issue with InDesign CS4 (Windows)

I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4. I can open and use InDesign with no problems, until I try to switch to another application. Then, when I try to go back to InDesign, all I can see is the portion of the bar at the top of the screen that shows the link to Bridge, the view options and a bit of the outline of a palette or two. I have a two monitor setup. Most of the palettes are on the auxillary monitor and they show up just fine. The main display is where I'm having the issue. I can toggle in and out of Photoshop with no display issues. I haven't tried working with anything else from the CS4 package besides InD and Photoshop. This was not an issue with any CS2 product (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash). Nor has it been an issue with any of the other software I am running (so far).
When the display vanishes, I can see the "data" from the program I was trying to toggle out of. For example, if I try to toggle between this page and InD right now, I can see most of this page except for the part of the page obscured by the outline of the control palette (that one reminiscent of pagemaker) and the little bits at the top. I can't see the project I'm working on. I can't see the File/Edit/etc. bar at the top of the page. A Control/Shift/Save will lock up the program completely. Then, I see the "save as" menu box (in addition to the browser screen around it) but the program is locked up. I can close everything on the computer and reboot and open InDesign to resume work--that is until I need to do something like edit a photo to drop into a layout. Then the issue occurs all over again.
Windows machine; XP Pro, service pack 3 build 2600; NVidea GeForce 9600 GT graphics card.

Bob, thanks for the info about the 6.0.2 patch. I'll try grabbing that today. This morning, on the first boot, I can't even see the program when I open it--just the snip of the command palette and part of the very top bar. Very irritating.
Peter, I have tried maximizing, closing, reopening, etc. everything else I can think of. Same issue. I finally just bit the bullet and went back to CS2, rebuilding the current project so I can get the work done by deadline. I'll look for new video drivers this afternoon after I get back on track timewise on this newsletter. Weird that this display issue should just affect the one Adobe program though, and not the others if it is a video driver problem. I didn't do a lot of work in Dreamweaver--just enough to see if it displayed the same weird behaviour. Nope. Nor does Photoshop. Nor does Bridge. Nor does Acrobat. nor does any other software on the machine.

Screen/Display Issues with Aperture 3.6 & iPhoto 9.6 on Yosemite

When I open Aperture or iPhoto, my screen goes all wonky. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro with 8 GB Ram with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB. What is it doing this? How can I fix it?

Hello there, tehat17.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with the display on your MacBook Pro:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Start with these:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
If you tried all of these steps for your display and the video issues persist, contact Apple technical supportor take your Apple computer to the nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Screen refresh issue with SQL Developer 1.5.5 on Vista 64 bit

I am using the latest version of SQL Developer.
I have screen refresh issues in sql developer. On scrolling up and down the display gets jumbled, some time screen do not display at all. Its making working with SQL Developer very difficult. I don't have such an issue with any of my other editors.
Is this something specific to Vista? Is there any know solution to this issue.
Thanks
Edited by: user5899685 on Sep 1, 2009 11:14 AM

Specific? Not really, but judging from the posts here Vista is more prone. It usually indicates incompatibility between Java and video drivers.
If updating your JDK or video driver doesn't work or isn't an option, just disabling DirectDraw in \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf usually works too:
AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=trueHope that helps,

[SOLVED] Screen brightness issues with Acer 5372Z

The screen of my laptop goes black whenever I boot into ArchLinux, after "reading Udev events" on startup. Most of the time I have to use a flashlight to see the console on my screen and type
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20
to set screen brightness manually. The `Fn` + `Brightness up` combination doesn't work on my machine, but that's not an issue with Arch, but fault to sugar in coffee.
There are a lot of similar threads in this forum, but none of the solutions described there really worked 100% or not at all, that's why I'm opening a new thread as this seems to be specific to my hardware.
Details:
Graphics controller:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Screen resolution:
1366*766
/boot/grub/menu.lst:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda10 resume=/dev/sda5 ro vga=775
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
/etc/rc.conf#DAEMONS:
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond laptop-mode dbus gdm)
I will describe here what I have did so far on hacking:
Installed the video driver for my Intel card as described here in the wiki
Set kernel mode to `nomodeset`, without specifying vga, of course, which surprisingly solved the issue, but prevented me from using Gnome.
The supposed solution in the Arch wiki doesn't work for me. It makes it worse, in the sense of dumping screen brightness even before "reading udev events" on boot.
My current workaround (to avoid using a flashlight) is to put this line into my `/etc/rc.local`:
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20
I wonder if you can help me to solve this issue, or point me to any of the great documentation provided by the Arch community I might have missed...

Every time I've installed Arch on this computer the same problem arises and the only way I can change the brightness is the setpci terminal method.
This is bad news for new Arch (and Linux) users. This will be probably the point where they will turn over to another distribution.
It seems to be something which has been included in newer kernels, because I can remember that in the 2.6 series this issue did not exist.

Lock screen timeout issue after Lollipop upgrade - Galaxy S5

I have the S5, and a couple days before installing the Lollipop update I changed my screen timeout to 30 mins because I didn't want my screen to turn off while looking at pictures for long periods of time. I didn't end up changing the timeout back before the update, so after installing Lollipop, it applied the 30 min timeout to my lock screen and I am unable to change it to a lower setting. I've tried changing the timeout settings under display and all sorts of variations of settings in the phone, and it works when I am actually past the lock screen, but lock screen still doesn't turn off until 30 mins passes.
The main problem with this is when my phone gets notifications in the middle of the night, the phone stays on for the full 30 mins and drains my battery if it isn't plugged in. Is anyone else having this issue? I haven't tried reverting back to Kit Kat to see if I can fix the issue, but I was just curious if there was another way to get around it before going through all of that. It would be really helpful if they would just add a timeout feature specifically for the lock screen so that I could adjust it there...

This has been reported on some other blog sites I recall seeing and the quick fix was to disable your lock screen.

Screen Sharing issues with ML and SL with dual displays??

Don't know if this is a ML issue or was present in Lion (which I never upgraded to)
Setup...
Old setup was 2010ish MBP and only 2006 iMac. Both with SL 10.6.8 and both have two monitors...no issues.
Upgraded to ML on the MBP on release. Realtively painless process. I tried screen sharing today and I get odd responses with the MBP to the iMac. Just so everyone knows, screen 1 is the main iMac screen and screen 2 is the additional monitor. When showing both screens I could see all screen realestate. However, when I changed to only display screen 1 I started having issues. I couldn't get the entire screen to fit within the window nor scroll to show areas not displayed. Sometimes switching between fit in window and no fit, I would get a blank screen. Screen 2 only displayed and all is fine. I noticed on screen 1 that there was a little black bar or open space on the bottom of the window that was exactly the same size that was missing from the top. No ability to fit or scroll would allow the black space to move so that the menu bar on the top of the main monitor would display.
After doing a bit of searching with no luck and scratching my head, I took a look at the Arrangement screen in the display settings. Wouldn't you know it that the main screen (having a smaller resolution than screen 2) was aligned so that the top of each display was even with each other leaving a small space on the bottom of screen 1 compared to screen 2. When I moved screen 1 in the arrangement screen to a more drastic alignment to verify this was the problem...screen sharing crashed when going from both screens to only display screen 1. Tried screen sharing again going from two displays to one, crashed again.
It appears there is some sort of bug or maybe ML and SL screen sharing doesn't like each other when the remote computer has two monitors.
Submitting bug report to Apple but was curious if anyone else has seen this or knows a work around.
Mike

I have a similar configuration (Lion 2011 MBP and SL 2009 iMac w/ second display). After installing the recent Remote Desktop update things went awry when trying to share the iMac SL displays with the MPB Lion.
The displays on the iMac are the same resolution, however the second display physically sits a bit lower than the iMac display, so I had adjusted the arrangement to compensate the different heights. The second display is located physically to the left of the iMac display, but that shouldn't have any effect as far as I'm concerned. Screen sharing had worked in this config until the recent Remote Desktop update (on Lion).
I thought about what you mentioned about the display screen arrangement, so I decided to just test it for myself, arranging both displays side-by-side on the displays arrangement control panel. Surprisingly, it worked!
I do consider the Remote Desktop update to be the culprit and there must be some bug associated with that. I'm getting ready to submit a bug report, so hopefully we'll see a fix soon.
