Hi,
some time when I take a movie, expecially with few light, some hateful horizontal bars come up on the screen. Once I had to SoftReset to have my camera working back. Did it happen to someone else? Should I go to an assistence service point?

You may try to play with "flicker adjustment" option in camera. Try to set it to 50 or 60 hz.

I've had this before, and it's usually because another program is running and using too much CPU.

Nothing wrong with a soft-reset, this will clear out any running programs, or you can use settings->memory->running programs->Stop all.

thanx for your answer,
I supposed that it could depend on CPU. Infact, the first time I had this problem, XCPUu Scaler was running, and I thought that incostant level of CPU could bring noise to the cam function. But the last time I incurred into the same problem, I had uninstalled it yet, and probably, as you said, there should be some other app running that brang CPU to a lower level.

I get this too, but it's generally when the radio has a particularly weak signal and is trying to find the operator. If you turn the radio off it generally goes away, same as if you're in an area where you get strong/full signal you probably/shouldn't get it.

exactly the same happens to my device when there is some activity on GPRS connections.

I have this when my gsm connection is being established and when a location update is being performed or am in a bad singal area (coming in and out of range of a cell). If you had the camera on during a call I can say 99% sure that you'll get the same interference.
