Problems with Java in Fast Dial 2.14
chiaroscuro —Wed, 11/19/2008 - 11:05
A whole number of users have reported all the same symptom
All their cell refresh circles turning round and round.
2 users here
2 users here
One user even sent in a video.
Why I wonder is this happening.
---
There have been too many reports to believe that all these users have suddenly lost Java on their machines.
If anyone has any further details, like errors, please post in this thread.
For the moment I tend to believe that this is a FD Bug
---------------------------------------------
I tested Java seems to be working
and
Version 6.0.100
--------------
I too get the wheels turning
Get this in Java Error Console
Which in turn relates to this:
This would tend to suggest that base64 conversion is not working for some reason and this is upsetting the refresh process.
The question is being looked into.
***************************************************************
The problem has been revealed
Fast Dial 2.14 Java scaling works fine with Java JRE 6u3
Fast Dial 2.14 Java scaling works fine with Java JRE 6u7
Fast Dial 2.14 Java scaling does not work with Java JRE 6u10 ( the latest Version of Java)
It is not at the moment clear what interim versions work and don't work.
My own suspicion is that it is only 6u10 that is causing problems, but this may prove not to be the case.
As soon as a fix is found to this question I will post here.

If you go to Bookmkarks/Organise Bookmarks are there any bookmarks visible.
Is your Fast Dial Folder visible in Bookmarks Menu ?
