Guys I repaired and reflashed it twice nothing helps. Also today I had so many freezes after a phone call I had to reboot my phone ti fix it...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] intel007:
My sons Xperia u, is having the same issues

freezing and locking up completely for no apparent reason, this seems to happen at least a couple of times a day, even after a factory reset.

we updated to ics from new so I really have no idea if this happened on gingerbread.

Tomorrow I will try to reflash/repair the software, if I have no luck then it'll be going back to sony.

Is nobody else experiencing similar issues? This is the only thread I have stumbled on, which makes me think its hardware issues.

Hi, i found on my one x a folder called "bugreports" wich is full of enormus txt files (4-5M). Do you know what is generating them? My device have a big issue (it keeps shutting down, and when this appens the battery usage graph jumps from the actual percentage to 0 an then again on the right percentage, or on a different one, i have to send it to repair). Could is this related to those files?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Yes, it is quite likely that it is generating those files.

Meta-comment: since much of what ends up in General is Q&A anyhow, it would be good to have a dedicated subforum for it.

Samsung Q1 Ultra touchscreen: make sure you install the manufacturer drivers for it. You should be able to find them on the Samsung site. You may need to install the Win7 drivers (which should work fine, but may require using Compatibility Mode to install).

Zip archive password: As far as I know, it can't be done in Windows without third-party software. The standard ZipCrypto algorithm is quite weak anyhow, and while Windows includes support for decrypting it, you probably shouldn't be using it in any case. I use 7-Zip for creating encrypted archives, which runs fine on Win8. Right-click file -> "Add to archive..." -> select Zip format and provide a password.

[Q] Does an app need to be represented on the lock screen in order to have a live tile? Without adding apps to the "slots" on the lock screen the apps doesn't update. Is that really the case or what am I missing?
[Windows 8 General] offspin2040:
Didnt quite understand your question :confused:.did you mean lock screen or start screen? :confused:Cuz i dont have any apps on lock screen and they update regularly:confused:

Hit thanks if i helped you :)
[Windows 8 General] Laban:
Sorry if I was unclear. I mean the lock screen. If you go to the lockscreen settings you can select what apps that should have their icon represented on the lockscreen, you can choose 7 lockscreen apps. Only the apps that I place there, on the lock screen, update their live tile. So this means that I can only have 7 apps with working live tiles except from the Microsoft default apps that always works.

I use the RRS reader Nextgen Reader and as soon as I remove it fomr the lockscreen it stops updating.
[Windows 8 General] offspin2040:
Problem Understood.And no,thats not the case at all.the lock screen functions are just an extra function of the app.even if you dont keep any apps on the lockscreen they should update their live tiles regularly.

I think the problem is that you either cleared all personal info from the tiles.thats why they stopped working.try signing in again and adding your personal info.uf you have not cleared info,then clear the info and reconfigure the tiles.it should work.

and by the way,which apps are not updating?

If it is reading other disks then that disk is either being blocked or is incompatible for some reason...

[Q] Touch Screen Gaming Controls

[Q] Does anyone know of a virtual keyboard + trackpad app that would work with full-screen games?

I managed to get Fallout 3 GOTY to work on an Iconica 700w, and would love to be able to use the tablet without a physical keyboard and mouse.

I have tried a few on-screen keyboards with custom layouts that will work with running games in windowed mode, but the mouse-part is unfortunately missing.

What I would like is the ability to have an overlay keyboard on one side, with an option to organize the keys to use (wasd for example), and on the other side a virtual track pad for mouselook, and the rest of the touch functionality blocked while in-game (or while the keyboard is active.

if there is nothing like that out there, any tips on development of either top-layer or driver-level example code on implementing something like fraps' onscreen fps display might get me up and running as well.

When i play videos using the metro video app. it plays audio alone and the video is not showing up?

Anyone knows fix for this?

i'm using windows 8 pro on sony vaio vpceb46fg with ati catalyst 12.8 drivers installed on my pc.
[Windows 8 General] offspin2040:
Check if you have the latest drivers for your GPU.
[Windows 8 General] dvdcatalyst:
You are likely missing the video codec for the file you are trying to play.

Try playing the video in desktop-mode with VLC (http://www.videolan.org/) and see if that works.

If it plays, you can use VLC to see what video codec is used by going into Tools > Media Information.
[Windows 8 General] gowthamachandran:
all the videos are playing with vlc.but non of them are playing with the metro video app. I cannot install catalyst 12.10 on my laptop since forcing it to install causes bluescreen death. so i have to use this(catalyst 12.8) gpu driver only, win 7 driver given by sony also does the same when installed using device manager.
[Windows 8 General] dvdcatalyst:
It's a video codec issue, and does not something with your video card driver.

As I mentioned before, look in the tools > media info in VLC when one of the videos is playing, and it will show you what video codec is used to play the video.

If you want to play the videos in something other than VLC, you will need to install the video codec that the file needs.

Visit www.google.com

and do a search for the video codec.

Or, since your videos play in it properly, just use VLC to play your videos.
[Windows 8 General] gowthamachandran:
i think the problem is not with the codecs. it is not playing any videos. i played a video from my desktop after a fresh install of windows 8 with the same video app, it played without installing any codecs. But in my laptop the same video is not playing in that official video app.
[Windows 8 General] dvdcatalyst:
With a clean install on your desktop, are you referring to a factory restore?

With most "brand" computers, Dell, Gateway, Acer, HP, Toshiba etc, the "factory restore" includes a nice collection of additional software that gets installed along with it, and some of those apps, such as Nero, Cyberlink etc install codecs as well.

You mentioned that the videos do play in VLC on your laptop.

VLC doesn't need/uses any codecs that are installed within Windows, but has it's own collection of them, so since that works, and it doesn't work in the stock Windows player, it still points to a codec issue.

Previous Versons/File History

Hi I have checked this thread and the F&Q and have not found what I'm looking for.

I would like to clarify how Win7's previous versions works in Win8, it's File History, correct? I read the build Win8 by Sinofsky but didn't notice/find that when you try to use this feature in Win8, it will not save on the C drive as Win7 does, correct? Win8 tells me File History will not work without an external drive. Am I missing anything?

This is one of the simple but brilliant features of Win7 that keeps me on that, but if I could make this work on Win8...all the better. I'm using a laptop and with desktop sales dropping and laptop sales still way ahead, I don't understand how it could be practical to leave an external drive connected to a laptop beside you? I will not be doing that and if there's no way around it, I delete my Win8 partition.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Aggravatingly enough, Previous Versions (Volume Shadow Copies for non-system files) has been removed in Win8. This is one of only a few places that I feel that Win8 is true downgrade from Win7. I have two hard drives, and it's willing to use the second for storing "File History" stuff (even though both are internal), but it's not the same.

Then i tried installing amd catalyst 12.8 drivers and the issue still remains.

Q: Is there a way to change Bluetooth settings so that Bluetooth speakers are detected as speakers instead of headphones?

Problem: By default a Bluetooth speaker is detected as a headphone & because it is detected as a headphone it will not play audio from multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time. (Surface Does detect all devices connected though)

Idea: Possibly change the registry on Bluetooth speaker from headphone to Front Speakers or Side speakers.

Research:-Old mappings for Windows 7... This example is for a Realtek Audio driver.

Mappings are saved in the following location "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contr ol\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Settings\DevType_0888_SS147b108 3 or ending in DevType_0885_SS18490890

"02 00 00 00" = headphones

[Windows 8 General] goofball2k:
1. There isn't. Unless you are talking about Windows 8 Phone and Windows 8? Then there is a large difference.

2. No, not unless it has been recompiled and made compatible with x86/x64 architecture.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Windows 8 is a desktop/laptop/tablet/whatever operating system, runs on x86 and x64 processors, and can run both legacy Windows software and Windows Store apps. It also supports Flash.

Windows RT is a tablet operating system based on Windows 8, runs only on ARM processors, and can run Windows Store apps, Microsoft Office and a few other official desktop apps, and flash. Until "jailbroken", it cannot run third-party desktop apps. After jailbreaking, it can run apps re-compiled for, or ported to, ARM. It supports Flash.

Windows Phone 8 is a smartphone operating system, and runs on ARM processors. It can only run Windows Phone apps (Phone 7 or Phone 8, but *NOT* Windows Store apps) and comes with a mobile version of Office. It does not support Flash.

[Q]Chrome and Windows 8

Hello!

First, sorry if it's the wrong sections or the question is already answered somewhere!

I have an irritating problem with Chrome on Windows 8.

I installed the OS last week, then installed Chrome. That time the Start Screen icon had grey background and the tile immediately the browser, but now it has red (my theme color) background, and it opens the Desktop first, then the browser.

I don't know what happened with it, but it's quite annoying for me.

Can anyone help me to restore the original open method and icon?

Thanks in advance!

there is option menu when starting the windows, but i dont know how to enter in that menu, maybe it is like other prior windows (F5) while the windows boots... in my case it enters automatically because I have installed win 7 and win 8 where I have to chose between these wiindows...

so there are advanced tools where you can reset all the windows from the scratch, restore defaults and many many other tools that havent been in any other prior windows...

Overclocking in Windows 8

I've upgrade to Windows 8 Pro from Windows 7 Home (64Bit) I am getting problems with getting a stable overclock. I am sort of stable at 4.0GHz But want to push it to 4.3GHz. I have tried all I can with my wannabe-geek knowledge. I know every CPU is different but on Windows 7 I can get stable 4.5GHz. I also have been hearing that Windows 8 isn't great for overclocking. (another reason to slate windows) But I really like Windows 8.

specs are as follows.

i7 2600k

AMD Radeon 6870

[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
You want to use a Microsoft account, but you don't want to use a password? Well, there's Picture Password, which is faster / more fun than typing a password, I guess (note: unless you're really slow at typing and/or use an impressively long password, it's probably not actually faster, but it may feel like it). Beyond that, I suppose you can look into automatic log-on in Windows; I think it's still supported in Win8 although I've never tried it on a Microsoft account.
