Can't use THIS phone, either... at least not as a phone

I have been through more than a dozen phones in the last year. Problem after problem with the 8220. This last time, they (T-Mobile) decided to help and sent me a new phone.
I was actually quite pleased, and told every one who would listen that FINALLY, the phone works.
Today, I tried to call my cousin who is in a convalescent home. I said, 'Hi' and even more, and then he hung up. Hmmm.. He couldn't hear me.
I called back, and he still didn't hear me. I just assumed he couldn't hear through the phone... or maybe I had accidentally hit the mute button.
I got another call from some one I speak to regularly. Nothing.
I called T-mobile (611) and answered the voice prompts. NOTHING.
The phone was working this morning. I can't do ANYTHING with it now. HELP! And please help me quickly. We have an election tomorrow, and I work the polls. I need to be able to call City Hall

Because it's not a phone. It's a tiny computer that just happens to also do mobile telephony. As we make things in our world more complicated, they become more and more prone to issues. That's the simple nature of the beasts. If one desires near-100% reliability, one must stick with a land-line and a non-wireless telephone with no computing capabilities whatsoever...just a phone.

  • I currently use a Samsung TV with an Apple TV to duplicate my MacBook Pro monitor.  How can I use this system as a extended (not mirror) monitor?

    Does anyone have a solution that allows me to use a Samsung TV connected via the AppleTV to my MacBook Pro as an extended (not mirror) monitor? 
    Thanks.

    I would recommend upgrading your laptop. Does your current laptop have an HDMI port? If so, connect your Mac to your TV with an HDMI cable. Your TV must be compatible, if it is, you will have to understand that it will be no where near the quality of AirPlay.

  • S_pl0_09000447- can i use this for Extended Withholding Tax

    Dear Gurus,
    In my compoany im using Extended Withholding Tax for India, and can i use the Report S_PL0_09000447 - Withholding tax report for the vendor.
    Kindly Advice whether can i use this report for EWT or not.
    if yes how to use it.
    Regards
    karthik

    Hi,
    On the analysis,  the system expects an entry in the T059Q table with
    code as XX.
    The reason being in the extended withholding tax we use multiple
    witholding tax codes and these entries are stored in the table
    with_item. And in BSEG we populate the field withholding tax code i.e.
    BSEG-QSSKZ  with the value 'XX'. In classical withholding tax we used to
    store the code directly which is not possible with Extended withholding
    tax.
    As the field BSEG-QSSKZ refers to the values in the table T059Q-QSSKZ
    the entry 'XX" needed in this table for the corresponding country of the
    company code to maintain the correct relationship and consistent
    database information.
    Hence for the statistical purpose and for the internal calculations we
    need an entry in the table T059Q. Could you please maintain this code
    i.e. 'XX' also in the table T059Q in a test system? Then retest your issue.
    This should resolve your issue.
    Kind Regards,
    Vanessa.

  • Can I use this software??

    Just got PSE 6 for my new iMac, but mine is OS 10.5.7 and the box states v10.4.8 through 10.5.2.  Can I use this software? I'm not very computer savvy, just so you know.  Thanks.

    Yes, you can use this software. Adobe never updates the system requirements from what they are when a version is released. When PSE 6 came out, OS X was at 10.5.2, ergo….
    It works fine in 10.5.8

    i purchase iphone from saudi arabia (mobily telecom), can i use this mobile in pakistan and other custires. and how i know this phone is carrier unlocked..

    It will be locked to mobily telecom, and according to Apple's list of supported carriers and their features (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937) they do not offer unlocking.  Since only the carrier it is locked to can unlock it, you have bought a useless phone.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    How can we use Custom MessageBox in SelectionChangedEvent of LongListSelector for Windows Phone 8.
    Actually my problem is that When i am using Custom  MessageBox in SelectionChangedEvent of LongListSelector,when i am click Open(Left Button) it's working fine and navigated correctly,But when i am Click the No(Right Button) then it stayed in same page
    but all that page is in stuckup i mean that page is not working and not doing any event.
    My C#.net Code
    private async void userPageLongListSelector_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
    if (e.AddedItems.Count > 0)
    if (userPageLongListSelector.SelectedItem == null)
    return;
    if (dbTenMin == null)
    dbTenMin = new Database(ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder, "tenMInDBSchema.db");
    await dbTenMin.OpenAsync();
    var res = (sender as LongListSelector).SelectedItem as _10Min._10MinClass.minUserPages;
    var resIndex = (sender as LongListSelector).ItemsSource.IndexOf(userPageLongListSelector.SelectedItem);
    string selectedPageName = res.userPages.ToString();
    string selectedPageDesignUser = res.pageDesignUser.ToString();
    int selectedIndex = resIndex;
    CustomMessageBox messageBox = new CustomMessageBox()
    Caption = "Message...!",
    Message = "This form need offline datalist,Please load now.",
    LeftButtonContent = "Open",
    RightButtonContent = "No"
    messageBox.Dismissed += (s1, e1) =>
    switch (e1.Result)
    case CustomMessageBoxResult.LeftButton:

    Same custom messagebox code working in Phone_BackKeyPress event i am writing the code in Right Button that e.OriginalSource.ToString(); then it is working fine.
    But It is not working in Selection Changed Event in LongListSelector control in Windows Phone 8.
    Please help me,as soon as possible.
    Thanks & Regards,
    SrinivaaS.

    What happens if you leave the implementation for LeftButton empty as well , does the page gets stuck in that case also, if you press left button?
    i.e.
    CustomMessageBox messageBox = new CustomMessageBox()
    Caption = "Message...!",
    Message = "This form need offline datalist,Please load now.",
    LeftButtonContent = "Open",
    RightButtonContent = "No"
    messageBox.Dismissed += (s1, e1) =>
    switch (e1.Result)

    break;
    case CustomMessageBoxResult.RightButton:
    break;
    case CustomMessageBoxResult.None:
    break;
    default:
    break;
    messageBox.Show();

    The install icon has this sign on it

    You can't install Lion over Leopard. To install Lion, a requirement is Snow Leopard. So you can either upgrade to Snow Leopard first or you can make a bootable Lion install disc and use that to wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion.
    So to make a disk would require you to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade to 10.6.8 so you can use the App Store, unless you have access to another computer to download it from with your Apple ID. Remember it is about a 3.4GB download.

  • I purchased a iphone i USA. How can i use this iphone in india with vodafone.

    I Purchased a iPhone 5s in USA. How can I use this phone in India with Vodafone.
    <Edited By Host>

    First, the iPhone would need to be unlocked. That would depend on where you bought it. Next, the North American phone would not work with all of the networks outside of the US. Also, the warranty for the device is only good in the US, so if you have a problem with the phone, you would need to bring it back to the US to an Apple Store. Where did you purchase the phone?

    dbms_system.ksdwrt allows writing to either a trace file or the alert.log. It doesn't per se have anything to do with purging the audit log. So given that we don't know what you did in the first place offering an answer is going to be difficult.
    for purging in general though, I've found that the designers of the sql languiage considered this use case and gave us a keyword beginning with 'D' that proves handy.

  • You can't use this mobile for Nokia Music Unlimite...

    I have just purchased a Nokia 5130 XpressMusic mobile phone which came with music.  I have previously had a similar phone which came with music which for the last year I have been using.  That unlimited downloads has now expired. 
    So I have plugged in my new phone, which I have not used to purcahse any music with through my old unlimited downloads, and it is saying:
    You can't use this mobile for Nokia Music Unlimited edition mobile.
    Can someone please tell me why not?  The phone is capable of playing music (it is an XpressMusic mobile).  I have specifically gone and purchased this phone for the unlimited downloads and will not be very happy if I am unable to activate it.
    Many thanks,
    Tania

    Hi Tania,
    Like @petrib mentioned you should be able find local Nokia Care details behind that Contact us -link up right in this page (or if you tell which country you are in I can check the details for you).
    You could also update to latest Nokia Music Player which has just become available e.g. here http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/nokia-music-support and see if activation would work with that.
