W520 win 10 legacy app freezes

After winning 10 updating win 7, an application crashes at startup.

Worked fine on Win 7 and works on a desktop Dell 10 win now

Also works very well in safe mode.

Known issues with drivers Lenovo or apps in Windows 10?

Thank you

The W520 is not officially supported by Lenovo for Windows 10.

You might want to try a clean install of Windows 10, instead of an upgrade on the spot.

In regards to drivers, Lenovo will not publish updates explicitly for the W520, but you can use the generic drivers for Intel, NVIDIA, Realtek, etc. components. Regarding the specific drivers/utilities ThinkPad, you can probably use the Windows 10 drivers/utilities for more recent (W530 is closest) machines very well.

  • App freezes out post if JS alert is not rejected

    Hello

    I noticed that with a simple application that contains a WebView, if a Javascript alert appears, did not not reject while the app is closed, lfwa remains semi transparent on the dashboard BB10 and cannot be reopened.

    It is a simple code QML containing a WebView with a button that displays an alert:

    WebView {
    
        html: "
                "
    
    } //webview
    

    The developer during a test/debugging solution is opening the prospect of system information and sending a signal SIGTERM app.

    This problem is similar to that of this other thread

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Cascades-development/Beta-4-WebView-app-freeze-post-exit/TD-p...

    but I learned to make a new thread.

    Kind regards

    Pepe

    This usually indicates a memory problem or a process without end.

    If the code you have posted is really all to reproduce that so it's a bug of BB10 and you must present JIRA.

  • Several Apps Freeze and Crash on iOS10

    First of all, I found my new gel 7 phone iPhone app from time to time.

    Sometimes it will crash and reboot itself. Sometimes I had to force him to leave.

    After the application restarts, it seems normal for a while and then freeze again in a few minutes.

    It is totally unacceptable for me!

    Basically I would find almost everytime when I needed to make a phone call, the app being frozen!

    Later, I found the iPhone 6, I am about to trade has the same problem.

    Secondly, when I was chatting with the support of Apple using Safari on the phone, the Safari app crashed twice in the middle of the conversation!

    Third, when I tried to copy the accident report in settings-> privacy-> diagnosis...-> diagnosis...-> battery + MobilePhone... to send to a friend who works for Apple, the application of Crash parameters!

    Updating to 10.0.2 did not help at all.

    Tried to reset everything and restart as a new phone and the problem still there.

    My friend Apple also reproduced the crash of the settings on his own iPhone 7

    I lost at least 10 hours in the last two days to solve this problem.

    I think that iOS10 is really messed up this time.

    I hope they can fix this as soon as POSSIBLE, otherwise I see Apple in big trouble.

    BTW, iPhone 5 s and 5 members of my family do appear to be unaffected.

    Some additional findings: parameters of the application crashes under iOS9

    I just reproduced it on iPhone a friend 6.

    It happens also on the iPhone 5 and 5 years. Every iPhone has essentially, this "feature"!

    Everyone can try:

    Step 1: Open a * great * incident report file under:

    Settings-> privacy-> diagnosis & use-> diagnosis & UsageData

    Choose the one which starts by "battery +".

    Step 2: Press and hold anywhere in the text to start to select

    Step 3: Quickly slide the end switch completely to the bottom of the screen

    The application should freeze now.

    If it is not the case, try to scroll down, and slide the switch a few times more, it will be.

    The phone is not fixed. You can always click on the home button, move on to other applications.

    In fact, if you wait about 70 seconds, the app will unlock by itself.

    If you go away or go into sleep mode, the Apple will crash.

    It is an obscure usage case, but it may have a connection any with the collapse of some other applications granted.

    The important thing is that it is * very reproducible! *

    And he keeps me to send accident report to other people.

    If we have people from Apple here, they should really take notes!

  • Preview.app freezes dock and command + tab

    Everytime I open the Preview.app it completely freezes the tab dock and order for a few minutes. I can switch between applications using the mouse and launch applications using spotlight search. But I can't control the dock or use the command + tab.

    On a different user account, I don't have this problem. But I prefer not to set up a new user and copy all content and settings to it. I tried to start using dtrace, but the system, I cannot use it. I tried to delete the files ~ / Library/Preferences/com.apple.preview*, but that didn't help either.

    Anyone here have a tip what I can try? Nothing appears at the top and monitor activity. And there is no program that does not respond according to the menu force quit. Close the application overview does not make the problem go away. It goes away by itself after a few minutes. So far, I have not found any other piece of software that causes this, only the Preview.app.

    Looks like a malware problem.

  • App freezes on trying to syncronize on a store on a 8330 OS 4.5

    Copy the following code:

    Dialog.alert("1"); LocationStorePersistable lse = new LocationStorePersistable(orig.qc, orig.searchindex, orig.getCity());Dialog.alert("2");Dialog.alert("2b");synchronized(orig.store) {   Dialog.alert("3");    orig.store.setContents(lse);        Dialog.alert("4");  orig.store.commit();  Dialog.alert("5");}
    

    causes of my application to freeze.

    I get the 2 b message but then once I clicked away my app crashes and alert 2 b remains visible but does not.  I'm guessing that there is another lock on this object, but the other place, a lock is done releasing him until this code was executed, alsio this bug occurs only in my version 4.5 on my real device - a telus 8330, the same code on the 8330 Simulator run in jde4.5 does not have this error, or don't code operating on a real 9550.

    Does anyone else have this problem? and how to solve?

    BTW, orig.store is declared as:

    PersistentObject public folder store is PersistentStore.getPersistentObject (0 x...);.

    Thank you

    Orig. Store is declared as:

    PersistentObject public folder store is PersistentStore.getPersistentObject (0 x...);.

    just a place to store numbers and perhaps a few strings between runnings of the app.

    Dialog boxes are debugging messages just to show me where the code froze - all will be removed until the application is released.

    I'm just the synchronization on the store as seems to be recommended - I sync on the same shop elsewhere but that sync is available (or should be soon after load of the application variables are read).  It seems tot me system is not released the lock on store.

    PS: So much worse, I think I found a bit odd of causing the code block.

  • Disable spell checking in Win 8 Mail app?

    Hello world

    I am new to Windows 8; Sorry if this has been asked and answered repeatedly. In searching the Web, it seems that you can't disable the spell of Auditor and auto in Windows 8 Mail app - is this true? Are there at least the language packs so that you can choose what language is corrected? Windows 8 has a global setting to turn on or to turn off spell, but it seems not to apply to the messaging application.

    I write e-mails in three languages: Finnish, Swedish and English. I installed Windows 8 in Swedish; so write letters in Swedish is not a problem, as my Finnish and English texts are littered with the annoying red underlines. Is it really possible that the haven´t of developers Microsoft thought of that? They think that people are bound to a single language? There must surely be a coming update to fix this annoying defect? Or is there already?

    Please tell me. As it is now, the Mail to Win 8 app, which, otherwise, is quite pretty, useless for me. And if I give him for good - well, then I might as well abandon the brand new concept of winning 8 and go to the design of familiar office with one of the apps free out there making it possible.

    Kind regards
    Bright Waldemar

    You must add the other languages in the control panel. Then all you have to do is press windows + space bar to change the languages and the spell checker will change the language you have selected. Pretty easy.

  • Any way to transfer email and contacts TO win 8 Mail app?

    I have a HD crashed from a pc Win 8. This woman had all his contacts and emails imported in the Win 8 Mail application. I know that need to recover those enslaved hard disk.

    It is a first for me, anyone got it? I guess, I'm looking for a file and instructions on how to put it all once I find.

    Thank you...

    JF

    Yes, the messages are stored on the PC, too, which is handy to know if you have an Exchange e-mail account set up and also if you want e-mails from backup, in which case simply copy them to the backup location.

    The messages are saved in \AppData\Local\Packages\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_ALPHANUMERIC_STRING\LocalState\Indexed\LiveComm\ALPHANUMERIC_STRING\NUMERIC_STRING\Mail

    Messages are saved as .eml files, so they can be opened e.g. with Office Outlook. Note that messages for each e-mail App account are stored in the folder of the own account. Folder names are not same as names account but rather numbered (hexadecimal). My main account (account login Windows 8) is 1, all account records have a folder name of two hexadigit.

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") Press the combination of keys command + A to select all the text, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing command-C.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    10. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

    11. when the test is completed, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    12. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    13. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

    14. the related UNIX shell script is a notice of copyright. ASC readers can copy for their personal use. The whole nor any part can be redistributed.
