Call Log Problems and Questions

I've owned this phone since late June, 2011 and overall like it.  I came from a BB with "real" keys, but have been pleased with eth learning curve for the swype keyboard (except it's insistence on some nonsense words).
The real issue I'm facing: The Call Log
First off, it's painfully slow when compared to my old BB.  If I want to call a recent contact I click over to the log, but have to first WAIT for the phone app to start, and then WAIT for the log to come up, then painfully WAIT to scroll, and then WAIT for that call to load the WAIT to FINALLY get a "Call" button.  Why in the world is this fairly "native" app so frikkin slow.  This is, after all, a phone.
Second: Why is the call log not threaded?  I haven’t had an unthreaded call log in about 10 years.  My wife calls a lot, but I should have 15 line items of her before the next distinct caller.  When will this be fixed?  Seems a major flaw
Third, why can't I choose which phone screen comes up first when i click "Phone" from the immovable home screen buttons?  How often are users dialing numbers that are A-not in their call log or B-not a contact?  Speaking of Contacts:
Fourth: Why is the contact search SO slow?  I typed my last name in (so it should be finding only my family - maybe 10 contacts) and it took 8 seconds.  Again, comparing to the BB, which had a list ready (from the exact same list of contacts) with every keystroke.
So, four problems.  May I please have four answers?
Now one for which I can foresee the answer:
How can I get rid of all the bloatware on the phone?  I don’t want:
AllShare
Amazon Kindle
V Apps
Backup asst.
Bitbop
Blockbuster
Guided Tour
IM
Latitude
Lets Golf
Media Hub
Rhapsody
Navigation
Places
Rock Band
Slacker
Tune Wiki
VCast
VZ Navigator
Nice job filling my new $300 phone with $0.02 crap

I cannot answer your questions with what I consider an effective answer.  With that said are you aware that you can create groups in your contact list.  The is easiest done on the computer from the Google Voice app.  I have a group for my family, wife's family, coworkers, friends, doctors, restaurants, etc.  It is much easier to find someone in a small group.  I also have direct dial shortcuts on one of my home screens.  I have one home screen dedicated to direct dial shortcuts.  For those that I call all the time like my wife and home you touch the icon and it dials immediately.  To do this long tap an open space on a home screen, click on shortcut, click on direct dial or direct message for quick texting.  You can also have a direct shortcut to the actual contact if you frequently need to access the contact information.
I hope this at least helps you enjoy the phone a little better if you were not aware of these features.  And yes, I wish the bloatware would go away.
BTW the 4 buttons at the bottom (not the hard buttons) are movable.  You have to long press them to change them out.

  • Some problems and questions using OWB

    For Igor or anyone who can help me :-)
    Hello Igor,
    Thanks for all your help concerning my mapping deployment problem! Now it’s working better ;-)
    I used the OWB Runtime Assistant to create a new runtime target schema and i use the owner of this schema as user while logging to OWB.
    Now i can create and deploy without problems mappings, tables, functions, procedures, packages, dimensions, views, materialized views, process flows (i have installed the Oracle Workflow Client 2.6.2.0.0 with OWF builder and OWF mailer ).
    However I have still some problems and questions :-)
    a) After deploying a mapping or process flow i can execute them from OWB Deployment Manager. How can i schedule the execution of a deployed precess without using OWBDM ? (I want to execute a process every day to perform ETL).
    b) I think i have a problem deploying cubes. I create a cube in OWB, the validation is OK, the deploment succeds, but if i look with OEMC in the tree in the Warehouse OLAP section no cube is created. Only the fact tabe is created. If i look to the scripts from the Pre Deployment generation results i found DDLs only for TABLE, INDEX, UNIQUE KEY, FOREIGN KEY and ANALYZE object types, meanwhile during a dimension deployment i found also a DDL for the DIMENSION type object. WHY ?
    c) If I look in the procedures of the new created OWB Runtime Target Schema I found 3 procedures which are in error and when I try to compile them I receive the following error messages :
    - procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_CUBE
    PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWCUBELOAD_SPEC' must be declared
    - procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION
    PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
    - procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION_GENUK
    PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
    How can solve this problem? Is there any link with the fact that the cube is not generated?
    d) When I first acces the deployed DIM in the OEMC tree I receive a message saying that the dimension does not have complete metadata as needed for use by Oracle OLAP services (because is created either in an earlier version of Oracle database or it was created by an an other application than OEMC) and OEMC automatically generates the default needed metadata. Is this normal ?
    I work in an environment with
    - Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.1.0
    - Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
    - Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Products 9.2.0.2.8

  • Some problems and questions

    I have some problems and questions about my MSI MEGA PC 180 system...
    One problem is that MSI live monitor only works one time after every new installation then is just say "The URL is invalid" every other time I try to search for updates.
    One problem is that one of the fans  doesn't turn off when I turn of the computer and the only way to get i to turn off is to turn on the hifi mode and turn it off then the fan stops. And some times the fan can start after a while when the computer has been turned off.
    There are two fans for the cooling of the CPU but PCALERT only shows the speed of one of them.. why? according to the manual one of the is called CPU fan and the other one is called sysfan but only CPU fan showes i PCALERT.
    Are there no other way to control the Tv other than with the Home Teather system than I find way to slow if you use 1280x1024 resolution on the screen like I do. And are there no way to sort and remove channels in home teather? As i is now I can't move the channels in the order I want and I can't remover channels that the auto search thaught was channels but aren't?
    An other thing that I find annoying is that the fullscreen mode of home teather doens't cover all off the screen it doesn't hide the systray and leaves a small but annoying kolumn to the right that showes the backgrund and that is very annoying to watch tv if you have a light backgrund because the kolumn are so bright.

    Welcome Kabbo,
    I see you agree that MC III is far from perfect. Perhaps you can try the combination of Media Portal and Ir2Key. Just read some of the other posts including "WinIRX.ocx internals/usage" by ddookie.  Another possibility is to try Dscaler, but this program is only for watching TV.
    Regarding the processor fans: its normal that only one of the two shows up in PcAlert; when you look closely to both fans you'll see that one has only a two-wired connection.
    The problem of a fan not shutting down is new to me, I suppose you have checked the connections to your mobo?

  • Handset losing call logs, texts and emails

    Hi,
    I have an ongoing problem with my BB and am not getting much sense from my network provider (BT Business).
    Here's a bit off history:
    I started the contract in November 2011 with a Torch 9860.  I had numerous problems with the phone freezing and randomly losing data such as texts, call logs and emails.  In 9 months I've had 5 phones and 1 sim card change, 2 weeks ago BT changed the handset to a Torch 9810.
    The phone has worked fine till Friday when it started doing funny things like randomly receiving texts which were from old conversations.  On saturday afternoon it lost all data by way of texts, call logs and emails that were over 24 hours old and in the last hour has lost everything over 6 hours old.
    I have all calls, texts and emails going into the messages list and have that set to save everything for ever so I can chose when to delete information.
    As I;m a consultant I need my call logs, texts and emails to work out my billing so this really is a pain.
    I really do think this is a network issue rather than the handset.
    Can anyone offer any ideas/solutions before I phone BT in the morning?
    Many thanks x 

    That is a very tiny database size. Go into your camera options and see where your pictures are being saved.
    Something is not right. There is no reason your free memory should be so low with such small database sizes and very few apps installed. You should be pushing 200+ MB of free memory.

  • E6 belle call screeen problem and call log proble...

    When making / receiving a call, I can only see part of the name (10 characters), if it is longer. Ideally, to see not only the name / surname as a whole, but also to other fields if they are (eg a company), for business is essential. Picture when I disconnected the call but did not help.   Another problem: The Call Log contains only the last 20 , even if the settings of a month's worth.

    Hi,
    That's already by default. If the name of the contact is exceeding 16 characters, it will be cut off on the screen once you call/receive a call from the said contact. Also, the device can only show the name of the contact when receiving/making a call. Including its other information (eg company) is beyond the support of your device.
    With regard to the Call logs, that is unusual. try to perform a soft reset by dialing *#7780#. It should fix the problem.
    Hope this will help you.
    Thanks,

    thanks.

    You cannot increase the font size of S60 3rd edition handsets as it is not a feature they support, you can however download an application called font magnifier from Nokia Software Market http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com
    You unfortunatlye cannot get WLAN for the E50-1 either as there needs to be hardware support for this feature too. The E50-1 was the entry level Eseries handset more voice centric therefore no 3G or Wi Fi.
    As for the multi tasking, all S60 devices support multi tasking, simply hold down the menu key to open task bar, if you need to minimize an app and keep it running in the backround, simply press the menu key once when in that app, do whatever you need to then hold down the menu key again and select your previous app from the task bar to continue!
    PS: Don't keep to many apps running to prevent slowness and?or freezing

  • Udev kernel 2.6 boot problems and questions

    Hello there..  During these days I'm trying to install a new linux kernel. I have the insane Idea of installing an old kernel. I compiled the "new" old kernel and I can't manege to get it to work efficently..
    I keep receiving a message this message during the boot.
    Failed to start udev Kernel Device Manager
    Although I followed the requirements for undev related to the kernel 2.6
    Why am I trying to install and older kernel? Well, the my reason is simple: my laptop keyboard that it's so annoying.. Every once and then it's not recognized at boot and it force me to reboot the system even for 4 or 5 times consequintely..
    With the kernel 2.6 I never had such problems and so I thought It was worth trying..
    Another interesting question that keep coming to my mind is related to the kernel that it's been update after pacman -Syu.
    I notice that in /usr/src there is a a new directory eithe the new kernel called  linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH, well if I try to build the kernel inside thi directory I get a message
    linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH]# make
    scripts/Makefile.build:44: /usr/src/linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH/arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile: No such file or directory
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH/arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile'.  Stop.
    make: *** [archheaders] Error 2
    The linux-headers are seems to be correctly installed to me...
    Any Idea or explanation or suggestion would be very appreciated.
    Thank you

    Arch userspace is too new to survive with an older kernel. This isn't going to end well for you.
    If you want your keyboard to function properly, I suggest you file bugs against the relevant parties and work with them to get actually get it fixed rather than go down this bizzare rabbit hole.
    edit: even our LTS kernel (3.0.x) is too old for Arch userspace.

  • Portal Import/Export problems and questions

    I recently tried to promote our dev stuff to the prod using both the exp/imp scripts (following the Imp/Exp whitepaper) and the built-in application export. The first time went without a hitch; however, after a few report updates in dev, I tried it again, and now I can't even get the Welcome page to appear. (Yes, I did import that page). The page finishes loading but nothing shows up on screen. I can login in to the change the DADs but nill to Portal. Any ideas how to even get in to see if the stuff imported?
    Along those lines, after searching through these threads, and reading the documentation, I get the general feel that imp/exp are not at 100%. So what would be the procedure to do production promotions? Do I have to delete stuff (apps & pages) on the PROD server, and then import? If so what (apps?, security?, login server?) do I delete?
    Rich

    Thanks for the post Indira. Here are the answers to the questions.
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>What version of the Oracle Portal are you using?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    I am using Oracle Portal version 3.0.6.3.3
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>Did you make any changes to the Welcome page when you imported it?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    No, I did not make any changes to the Welcome page when I imported it.
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>When you say that the page comes up blank, did you check the HTML source to see if there is anything in there?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    Yes, and there is something in there. Its the W3C tag and <HTML></HTML>. That's it. (more on this below)
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>What kind of portlets are in the page that you had imported?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    I imported one application (with a combination of Reports, Forms, Dyn Pages, and LOV's), 7 pages with portlets based on all those components in tabbed interfaces on each page. For example, each page has 4 tabs with one portlet (running one of the reports) on each tab.
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>Are you able to get to the pages that you imported, through the Navigator. Can you edit/customize the page?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    Well this is funny, since I couldn't get to anything, I thought I was a goner since I couldn't log in to get to the main page and fix all this, not to mention to see if the app imported at all. So, I went to my DEV box, found out what the page_id was for the out-of-the-box default page, typed it into the URL and I got the Login link. I logged in and I can see that the app imported. I can also see the pages, but with no portlets. When I try to add portlets, I get USER DEFINED ERRORS galore. So I have to recreate the pages from scratch (not a very good thing to be doing in PROD)
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>>Try creating another page in your new prod instance and making that your default home page. Please can you check if that is working.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
    As I mentioned above, this is basically what I had to do. I did another promotion last night, and since the pages are what I thought the trouble was, I didn't import them. I just imported sso, sec, and the app. To my dismay, the same thing happened. I call portal home and I get a blank screen (empty HTML tags). So there I was, well into the night, creating pages in PROD so that we could have a site to show today.
    Since someone else gave me the CD to install, I wasn't aware of the version I had and its bugs/issues. I have started the process of upgrading versions, but would like to get a solid idea of whats going with promotions before I do.
    Thanks,
    Rich

  • Program download fills free space causing call log problems

    I downloaded a sizeable program (9MB) that required that it be directly downloaded to the phone and not via the computer syncing.  Unfortunately, it filled all my phone memory despite having a 4GB SD card in place.  I couldn't figure out how to transfer it to the SD card to free up the space.  Due to the program, I had the typical problems of having all the memory tied up (call logs, slow performance, etc.)  Is there any good way to download the program that I want to the SD care instead of going directly to the phone memory?  Or as an alternative, is there a good way to transfer the program after it has already been downloaded? 

    Applications can not be installed on the memory card.

  • PlayBook .. problem and question

    hi
    I have a problem and a question 
    the problem is i connect my bold 9700 with the playbook by the bridge. it connected sucsseful and i can open the files, messeges, notes, calendar.. etc. the problem is the bbm cant opened. it stuck in the loading wheel screen. i wait for more than 30 min. but nothing happened.
    the bbm version is 5.0.3.22
    the bridge in the bold is 1.0.0.83
    the playbook software is 1.0.3.1868
    thanks

    Well, I'm surprised that this is playing you up. Anyway, before doing anything else I'd try deleting ALL bluetooth associations on the BB and the PB, uninstall the Bridge App. Reboot both devices and try again. You never know...
    If it STILL doesn't work:
    I'd suggest a couple of things.
    1 - I'm running 6.0.0.534 with no trouble - give that a go. Backup first, obviously.
    2 - Try installing and connecting the Bridge before you restore all of your data and apps. If it works, then restore and try again.
    I'm working on the assumption that either that particular OS is causing trouble (unlikely), or that there is something on your phone that is meddling with the Bluetooth connection somehow.
    Good luck!

  • T30 Problems and Questions

    Ok I have a T30 that I do not know what could cause the problem and thought I could post the question here and see what other users could recommend trying.
    First off all Keyboard functions work properly.
    Second the power button and such works properly
    Now the led lights for power, hard drive activity, battery indication, these do not work. 
    I think the power button and these LED's are on the same board, although I could be wrong. But it just seems odd that none of the LEDs including the ones on the lower side of the display are working.
    Any ideas on what could cause this? Anything I can check? All assistance greatly appreciated.

    It's been years since I've last opened a T30. And even back then, I was not playing around with the fuses.
    To make one thing perfectly clear: these fuses are *NOT* meant to be user replaceable and you're looking at a board level repair involving components that are beyond tiny. Unless you're very experienced with a soldering iron, you may just want to get a replacement board or an entire barebone T30...at today's prices, that's what I would do.
    Good luck.

  • E2000 problems and questions

    I am using the Linksys E2000 for a couple of months now and I have had nothing but trouble since the beginning.
    The wireless connection is bad while the distance between the router and my laptop is MAX 10 meters with 2 REALLY thin walls in between (each wall is like 5 cm's each)
    The speed is horrible I am constantly lagging/freezing with video conversations on msn for example.
    I used Inssider to see which channel was the most suitable one.
    I have disabled the firewall on the router.
    I have a brand new Sony laptop which has
    -Windows 7 (up-to-date)
    -Intel WiFi Link 1000 Wireless-N Adapter with up-to-date drivers
    I upgraded from a crappy TPLINK  router and that one worked better than this seriously NO JOKE!
    I wanna contact Linksys but the thing is I bought the router from amazon.com and I live in Brazil. Will Linksys take this thing back or is there gonna be an issue like "sorry sir, in your case the warranty is only valid in US" orso?
    Another question, I have NOT upgraded the router firmware at all
    My router has version 1.0.03
    Linksys webpage has as latest version 1.0.04.
    Should I upgrade the firmware or not? Because in some cases new does NOT mean better and I have experienced this a lot with (wireless) routers.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Today I called the number and they told me they don't even sell the E2000 model in Brasil and they can't give me any information about it. They told me to call the US service of Linksys. So I have to try that now I guess. Wish me luck.

  • VOD - Problems and Questions

    I'm in VHO 7 and use VOD all the time mainly for the network shows and premium subscriptions.  Been having a tone of problems with VOD not being updated for days/ sometimes weeks at a time on and off for these past 6+ months .  Also have the bizzar hourglass icon which has taken the place of the 'new' and red triangle icons.  None of the free titles show the avaiable until date.  A big problem also is that many times the HD VOD does not match the SD vod - folders available in both sections will not have the same episodes or HD will be missing episode thats available in SD.  I've contacted Verizon nearly every way possible, so now I'm turning to this forum to see if anyone else is having the same problems and to see if anyone has any support?  Maybe by chance someone at verizon will offer an explanation?  Twitter has failed, emailing them through contact us has failed, tech support has failed - what else is there?
    I'd also like to know why verizon does not offer all the HD VOD available on the market?  I have used Comcast, TImeWarner, and Cablevision VOD in the past and they all have a ton of free HD VOD from the networks that verizon does not offer.  They even offer HD VOD of networks not even aviable in HD on the network.  I sent the same message to the person who runs FIOSTV twitter and he replyed the with standard issue PR message claiming Verizon offers nearly all HDVOD available and its up to the providers.  We all know thats a load of crap.  I like the service or I wouldn't still be with them.  Just do not like lame excuses and poor response to problems.

    Hi we just went to a one bill with fios TV int and wireless and within the first week of service I was already on the phone trying to find out why I lied to too. vod is advertised as to be on demand within 24hrs of original air date but I wasn't receiving most of them for several days later if not a week later. So I called and spent several hours on the phone and all they told me was everything on their end was working fine and they put out a trouble ticket so I got a phone call and we talk and I said why I'm I not getting them on time and I was told bc it's up to when the tv stations release it to them and then they would release to us and I told them that's not the way vod works I told them to provide a service like that theirs a contract between Verizon and the carrier's so he said he would keep a trouble ticket and I would here something back within 48hrs I waited 3 days and I called back only to find that the ticket was gone they told me the reason for that was he put in problem resolved and we were no where close to fixing the issue so I spent more time on the phone with someone different only to here the same thing and I told them the same thing and he finally called someone else and he got back on the phone and said I was right the reason why I don't get vod on time BC I'm not in a high volume market Verizon has states and county's broke down into blocks and were I live is a low volume market so it doesn't get released to me within the 24hrs. But if I lived in a high volume market like a big city with lots of customers I would get it. After my one year contract I'm done withem. comcast has no issues with this problem in my area and that's were I'm headed and this is not the only issue I've had hope this helped
