A problem with volume control on a third party earphones

I have an old iPhone 4 that I use mosly for music and I recently bought a new pair of headphones (Bidenuo G380) and there is a problem with the buttons on it.
Whenever I press any of the buttons while music is playing on my iphone, the volume goes up by about two steps for a few seconds and goes back down again.
However that's not it. There is also a microphone on there and any loud noise or just touching it triggers the volume going up. It is especially annoying when I'm in a loud environment.
I tested these earphones om my mother's iPhone 5 ant they seem to be working perfectly, which means it's a problem with my iPhone 4. I have read a few other topics and although I didn't find anyone with the same problem, I found that cleaning the 3.5mm port on my iphone could fix it.
If it would, I'd be much appreciated if you could tell me exacly how to clean it. I was thinking if it's ok to use a little bit of alkohol and would it damage anything?
If there's another solution to this, please share it with me. Thank you for all your answers in advance.

Here is an article on how to clean a headphone jack:

Problems with volume control, built-in speaker on HP ProBook

Hi
Recently installed Arch on a HP ProBook 4330s. Initially sound was working perfectly, but now I'm having problems with the built-in speaker.
Using alsamixer in the terminal, I can independently control the volume of the headphone jack and the speaker, but it seems like the speaker is linked to the headphone volume instead of the speaker volume. Thus raising the speaker volume in alsamixer has no effect on the speaker itself, which only outputs sound as long as the headphone volume is raised and the loopback box is checked. This also means that the speakers cannot be muted while using headphones.
I installed pavucontrol to see if I could gain any insight, but trying to select "Speakers" as output port seems only to have an effect the volume sliders in alsamixer. So no settings in PulseAudio UI could solve my issue.
I have googled wide and far, but haven't found anything helpful. I tried reoading kernel modules snd-hda-intel, snd-hda-codec-idt, snd-hda-codec-generic, but nothing changed.
Below is some info of my system. Please let me know if I need provide more. Any help is appreciated.

I do have all those packages installed. The volume controls were working perfectly for about 3 week, but now suddenly they are not behaving as expected. I don't know of any changes I made to my system that could have caused this. I suspected it might be a problem with the drivers, so I tried to find the appropriate driver at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio … Models.txt
[frwdrik@frwdrik ~]$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep -i codec
Codec: IDT 92HD87B1/3
But I cannot find this codec on that page.

Niggly problem with Hotmail - Sending from a third party email address

I need true push email on my BlackBerry, but also need access from a PC and need to send from my own email address. The easiest way I've found to do this is to forward all emails to my own address to a Hotmail address and use Hotmail as my main provider. Everything works as it should - I've got Windows Live Mail setup on my PC and all emails are sent to the BlackBerry the instant they're received. However, I've got a niggling problem with sending emails from the BlackBerry...
On the Hotmail website, I've set my own email address as the default "From" address and in Windows Live Mail, I've set my email address as my own address. So, if I send email from the Hotmail site or from Windows Live Mail, my own email address is used as the "From" address and not the Hotmail address. If I send email from the BlackBerry, it uses the Hotmail address as the "From" address and not my own address. I've set my own email address as the "Reply To" address in BlackBerry Internet Service but it still shows the Hotmail address. I can't see anyway to change this and it's the only problem I have...
I have tried the GoogleMail service, and this worked fine but every email I sent (either from Google Mail, Outlook or the BlackBerry) would copy itself to the BlackBerry and was getting a bit of a pain.
I have also tried Yahoo Mail but this wouldn't allow me to send email from another email address.
Any ideas from anyone? Either to allow emails sent from my BlackBerry to show my own email address as the "From" address, or to stop emails sent through Google Mail to copy themselves to the BlackBerry?

Hi,
I've had this sent items in my inbox, problem with Gmail. You can add a filter from the settings page of your gmail account. The filter should be applied to all emails from your email address [[email protected]] and skip the Inbox should be selected.
Have you tested the "Reply to" option properly? Send a mail from your BB to a friend and ask them to hit the reply button, see which account it goes to.

G20 - Problems with volume wheel

My volume wheel isn't working as it should, when i'm trying to turn the volume down, it jumps up again. same when turning up, it's jumping down. To turn it up or down i have to turn and turn and turn before it moves. If I'm turning the sound up its like it's moving 1 up, 1 down, 1 up, 1 down, 2 up, 1 down... and so on.
Does anyone have any solution for this problem? It's like this in Qosmio player and Windows.
Truls

Hi again
I am not technician but according to your explanation I believe that there is mechanical problem with volume control dial. On this way we can just speculate but just intensive check can give you an precise answer.
In my opinion you should contact Toshiba service partner in your country and explain them the situation. Sorry but I dont see any other solution.
If the warranty is still valid the repair will be for free. If you need ASP address you can find it under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true

Did you fix the problem? I have the same problem and it has been pain in the neck.

Using techtool pro found problem with "volume structure". What to do?

Using techtool pro found problem with "volume structure" and this was not fixed by TECHTOOL PRO. What do you suggest I do?

I would boot from my gray install disk (put the disk in the drive and restart holding down the C key). Then choose Utilities and run Disk Utility and click Repair Disk. As always, be sure you have a back up of your data first.

Problem with Table control lines

Hi Friends,
This is the problem with table control lines:
I have screen with table control and I would like change the table control lines dynamicaly.
Exp:
In my PBO the Internal table which I am using to loop the TC is havig 7 records and its displayed with 7 records, now I have added one more record into my ITAB and now ITAB is having 8 records, when I am looping this ITAB with TC its taking the TC lines 7 only.
here is the code:
Initial values in gt_scr400 = 8
Initial values in tc_scr400 = 8
Now added one more recor into gt_scr400 , now gt_scr400 = 9.
LOOP AT   gt_scr400
       INTO wa_scr400
       WITH CONTROL tc_scr400
       CURSOR tc_scr400-current_line.
ENDLOOP.
I have used this logic :
DESCRIBE TABLE gt_scr400 LINES g_rec_300 .
tc_scr300-lines = g_rec_300.
but its not modifying the lines in my table control.
How to change the TC lines based on ITAB total records.
Thanks,
Sridhar

there is a field in TableViewName-xxx
don't remember the exact field name for (total no of records)
you can check it in debug. when you add records in Internal table, u need to modify this field which is set at the first time when table control is populated.

Keyboard problem with T410 - Control Key

I have a problem with the control keys on the keyboard of T410.
I swapped my X200 keyboard over to T410 to check if it is software or hardware issues. With the X200 keyboard, the 'Ctrl' key is not working. With the T410 keyboard, 'e', 'd', 'c' and 'Ctrl' keys are not working.

Welcome to the forum!
I believe that X200 and T410 keyboards are mapped differently in BIOS.
Can you find another T410/T510 keyboard to test with?
Cheers,
George

URGENT ! JDEV 10.1.2 Problem with data control generated from session bean

I got a problem with data control generated from session bean which return a collection of data transfer object.
The dto's seem to be correct. The session bean load correctly the data into and the object's are plenty of data. Using the console to display the dto content is ok.
When generating a data control from this session bean and associate the dto included in the collection only the first object level and one-to-one dto object are correctly setted in the data control. Object that represent collection into the dto (one-to-many foreign key) are setted as collection with an iterator but the structure of the object is not setted. I don't know how to associate this second level of collection with the dto bean class to obtain the attributes definition.
I created a case with hr schema like the hrApp demo application in the tutorial with departments and employees table. I got the same problem.
Is it a bug ?
It exists a workaround to force the data control to understand the collection data structure ?
Help is welcome ! this is urgent !!!

we found the problem by assigning the child dto bean class to the node representing the iterator in the xml file corresponding to the master dto.

FM Radio and Third Party Earphones

I was going to get third party earphones, but before I did that, I wanted to know if they would work with the FM radio as the earphones are used as the antenna?

Shouldn't be a problem, I don't think the Apple earphones are specially designed for this. I use Bose earbuds with my Nano and the radio works fine.

Can't use third-party earphones

Does anyone have problems using a third-party earphone? I tried using my Bose earphones and Sony earphones which are supposed to work with the I-Phone, but no luck. The earphones that came with the I-Phone works.

you most likely need the adapter.

Third-Party earphones.

I have a great pair of third-party earphones for my ipod--the Shure E2G. Unfortunately, they don't work with my new iphone. Any suggestions for good-quality in-ear earphones that have the right plug for the iphone?

Just get a Shure Music Phone Adaptor... I did and works great!
