For those of you that know me

for those of you that know me, i figured i'd drop a note here to say today's my last day at oracle. those of you that do know me probably also know that i'm very grateful to you guys what you've done. for what we've done. back in the day when this project marvel stuff (oracle platform stuff, for you really old skoolers) was new, it took a certain amount of faith to jump on board. we did. we jumped on board believing it'd work, and then we proved it. we've shown the world that this Application Express stuff not only works, but it works well. thanks guys, it's your continuing activity here on this forum and in the global community that have shown so many people how good web app development can be. please know i appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. also, now that i'm leaving the mothership, i'd like to say that the apex team is just incredible. you couldn't hope to work with a cooler or more dynamic group of people. i think you guys get a sense of that when you use the product and interact w/them on this forum, but i just wanted to confirm that now that i'm heading into the afterlife.
somewhat choked up,
raj (soon to be [email protected])

Hello,
I don't know Raj in person, but I read some of his articles on OTN, some of his threads on this forum, and some very kind words, written by Tom Kyte. So, I believe the Apex guys when they are saying he'll be missed.
Usually, when senior staff jumps ship, it's a good reason to start worry. In this case, it seems like Scott Spendolini is building a mini empire around Apex. As I consider these guys to be smart and skillful, their willingness to leave good and secure positions at Oracle, in favor of some new adventure, can only mean one thing they all believe in the good and bright future of Apex, and its ability to provide for them. It seems like a good sign for people like me user who devote a great deal of time learning how to make the best out of this tool.
I wish Raj all the best, and encourage all the others keep on the good work.
Regards,
Arie.

Any intention of addressing those of us that want no part of the Cisco Cloud Connect?

This ability to DOWNGRADE our firmware on a good many new routers, is a bandaid pure & simple. Does Cisco plan on addressing those of us that will not be a part of the cloud? Does this mean our brand new routers will no longer be supported? Are they even entertaining making the Cloud Connect an option?
It's been over a week since they rolled out the cloud. And a week tomorrow, since they enabled the rollback.

Thought I would share this I just found out today via following Cisco Systems on Twitter, their tweet from July 6. But, the Cisco blog had it the evening of July 5th. I also noted that Vince_02 shared it in another thread. This link should be announced and stickied!

But its all a mystery at this point even for the Csr's at Macys.The rep at Bloomingdale's told me without me asking that the limits would be merged next month. I just bought a Dyson vacuum to lock in my major purchase account. My vacuum had the motor go out so it gave me the opportunity to do this even though Costco was much cheaper.

Where is the MEID located? Thanks!

To view this information you will need to:
From the main screen, touch Settings.
Touch General.
Touch About.
The MEID number is the label that is second from the last.

For those of you that have had a MacBook delivered to your doorstep...

Was it shipped FedEx? (Any original/new MacBooks, not ones back from repair.) If no one is home during the day to pick it up, do they leave it at your doorstep, take it to a post office and drop it off, try to deliver it again, or what?
Thanks.

I was expecting my Macbook to be delivered yesterday and checked on its progress midday at work. To my HORROR, Fedex's tracking stated "Left at front door. Package delivered to recipient address - release authorized"
I screamed WHAT!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!! I sped home (as the package had apparently been sitting outside my apartment door for 40 minutes!) And rushed to get it inside. Luckily, I got there in time.. but oh man is FedEX gonna get it!!!! I CANNOT believe they would leave such an expensive computer outside in an apartment complex!
When I clicked on "signature proof" on the tracking page, it states that NO signature was found and that "At the time of shipment, the signature was released by the shipper/recipient (indicating that no signature was required)".
At the time of Shipment??? That is SO upsetting to me! Especially because for the iPod I received a few days earlier, we were required to wait unitl 5pm to go pick it up at the FedEx facility. My computer is worth SO MUCH more! And they just left it there!
Also, I did not select the "free shipping" option from Apple... instead opting for the *more expensive* priority shipment method. This is how they repay me?
FedEx is gonna HEAR IT from me!

I want to disable FaceTime, not voice dialing!

When I disable FaceTime in the Permissions settings, it completely disallows voice dialing. WHAT? Those are two different things.
I want voice dialing. I want to tell my phone who to call. However, I don't want to hit that awful annoying hang-up-on-your-conversation FaceTime button.
Who is the genius who decided that disabling FaceTime disables ALL voice dialing? Please deliver stern reprimand and FIX this as it should be considered a BUG.
Srlsy, this is more ridiculous than someone sitting at a computer posting a complaint on a message board. Has this bothered anyone else?

LoL my face is not hitting buttons as the face proximity sensor works fine. I'm referring to touching the screen intentionally but accidentally hitting a button that kills the call (the FaceTime button).
Anyway, according to my phone, you are mistaken. When I use voicedial to call a contact of mine, it says "I'm not permitted to do that for you. My apologies."
Actually, it won't even let me voice dial a number if I speak the number! Same message: "not permitted..."

For those of you using two hard drives..........

I have two hard drives, and really want to set them up properly so that logic is running on the main drive, and the secondary drive is for audio/samples etc. So for those of you that have done this, what is the best way? Specifically -
1. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder need to go on the secondary drive?
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive? Is it just a matter of moving them and then redirecting logic when it can't find the files?
Your input on the best way to utilize two drives is most appreciated - what has worked for you, and what hasn't.

. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder
need to go on the secondary drive?
Leave the instruments folder where it is, and put your samples folder on the external drive.
You can alias the instruments folder to whereever you want, but you don't really get any performance advantages doing so.
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you
re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive?
Two things to note - you don't need to do anything. When the EXS24 loads an instrument, if the samples are not at the location specified in the instrument, it will search for them, and when it finds them, it will write the new location back to the instrument so next time it won't have to search.
So, if you've moved your sample folders, the first time you access an instrument it will take some time to load while Logic hunts for the samples. Subsequent loads of that instrument will be as fast as ever.
Now, you can use the Project Manager (or Redmatica's EXSManager) to do this relinking for you across multiple instruments or your whole library.
In the PM, do an expanded scan. Then, select your instruments, and choose the "resolve samples" function - Logic will relink instruments with their samples and update the instrument files with the new locations. This can take some time with a big library.
Any more questions, post back.

For those of you waiting...

Just an FYI for those of you that are waiting for Merom, it may not be worth it. Although the chip is 64-bit the chipset that is currently out is still only 32. The Santa Rosa chipset is due to come out in the spring which will be 64-bit. Could be why Apple isn't upgrading, they aren't in to "tricking you" like everyone else. So for those of you waiting thinking it will come out any day now, think again. The good news is that even if you don't get a 64 bit system it is going to take a long time for you so really need one since software would still have to catch up.

Bsmit007 is right about 40-bit real support in Core 2 Duo's. However, the thing is that with a pseudo 64-bit support it would be possible to run Windows XP 64-bit OS as well as 64-bit Vista. I'm sure Mac OSX is much better, but I need flexibility with running all sorts of programs. I'm currently looking for a laptop to buy, and have some doubts whether I should wait for Core 2 Duo or not. It's not about performance (which will be just 5% - 7% faster in real life apps), it's rather about the hassle I'll have at the time of the next upgrade.
My question is what chipsets current MBP's motherboards are running on and whether the CPU has a BGA or PGA Socket-M interfase?(which allows to change the CPU). For example, if it's an Intel 945GM or PM chipset, then I could buy MBP now, and in half a year time swap the CPU for Core 2 Duo along with other upgrades, such as memory, HDD and etc.
Cheers,
Ayrat.

Bluetooth Speakerphone with Voice Dial?

Hi All,
Because the iPhone does not support voice dialing, I am looking for a speakerphone that does it by itself. I have found the Parrot Minikit Slim, which attaches to the visor, and downloads the contacts from the phone. Then all I have to do is press a button and say the name of the person I want to call. The kit's voice recognition finds the contact, and dials it. It even asks, "Home or Cellphone" if I did not specify. This part works very well, and I am very pleased with it, but the call quality does not seem to be that great.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any other bluetooth speakerphones that will do this. It must be able to download the contacts and do voice dialing on its own, as this is the only reason I want to replace my Jawbone II which has excellent call quality.
Thanks for any suggestions or reviews.

I have 2 Parrot Minikit Slims and really like them (one in each vehicle). The connect to the iPhone with no problem, and download the contacts, then you can do voice dialing from the kit without touching the phone at all. Call quality is pretty decent, the reason I started this post was to see if there were any others that did this and might be better. We use them all the time.
I haven't had any issues with disconnections. If you walk out of range, the kit will turn itself off in a fairly short amount of time... 5 minutes maybe. I just got into the habit of touching the power button whenever I get in the truck. A single touch turns it on, and if it is already on, it does nothing.

755p Voice Dial with BlueTooth

I've searched all over the place for help with my quest to make my Treo 755p "Smart" phone have bluetooth voice dial capabilities. What seems to be out-of-the-box functionality for many normal phones (no "smart" in their name) is apparently difficult to achieve with the Treo 755p, and apparently with all Treos from what I've seen so far. Here's the conclusion that I'm coming to, but I just can't believe it, so I'm posting this here in the hopes the experts (that's you guys) will either correct my misunderstanding, or (hopefully not) confirm that I'm on the right track.
APPARENTLY:
Voice dial capability is not part of the Treo 755p; one has to install a 3rd party program or service to gain this functionality. There are a few good options out there, but they do cost additional money.
Voice dial programs apparently work pretty good with the wired headsets that come with the Treo package. Apparently (although I have not tested it yet) pressing the button on the side of the treo or one the wired headset can be configured to activate the voice dial software, and the user can speak into the wired headset microphone to dial by voice.
Extra digit dialing is apparently not supported by most (if any) of the software I've seen that works on the Palm platform. (This is hard to tell exactly, because some software works only for the windows platform, which I don't have.)
Bluetooth headsets configured in hands-free mode will launch the voice-dial software, but I've found that the treo does not connect the voice dial software to the bluetooth headset, so instructions are not heard through the headset and the headset microphone is ignored for voice dialing. Others have apparently had the same issue, from what I've seen posted in this forum and on other fora as well.
The only method I've heard of anyone successfully using a bluetooth headset for voice dialing with a Treo is to bypass the Treo Bluetooth Handsfree mode, purchase an extra bluetooth adapter meant to add bluetooth capabilities to non-bluetooth phones, and then pair the headset with that adapter. This adapter typically costs $10-20, but is sort of big and must clip to your phone or to your belt. This adapter plugs itself into the treo's headset jack and simulates a wired headset. Apparently this mode works well, for yet more cost and additional bulk with makes it difficult to fit the phone into standard casings and/or take the phone out to work with the PDS without unplugging it.
One such adapter is the Cardo "Node" (http://www.cardowireless.com/node/434), but you can't buy it from their website anymore so I'm looking for other options.
I've heard that Jabra also has one, but I'm not sure of the model number, price, or form-factor.
Am I on track with this? This just doesn't sound right to me. I've seen postings that users have had this issue from the earliest Treo models, so I would have thought that Palm would have addressed it by now. I've always thought of Palm as a reputable and responsive company, so I'm hoping I've missed the "silver bullet" solution. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.
Bob Smiley

I hope Palm is listening.
It was good to see others as frustrated as I am about the Treo’s glaring deficiency – kind of a support group. I kept thinking I must be wrong because I traded up from a dumb phone and couldn’t believe my new palm is incapable of Bluetooth voice dialing.
The voice dialing companies all say it’s a problem with the Treos. I have asked the people at Palm and, though they are very nice, they haven't been able to help. The people I spoke with didn’t seem to understand what I wanted and then spent a great deal of time trying to find the answer. In the end, they confirmed: you can get Bluetooth with a Treo, and you can get voice dialing with a Treo, but you can't get voice dialing over Bluetooth. They didn't know if a solution was in the works.
I am really puzzled about this problem. How hard can this be? As Bob Smiley said, you can get a Bluetooth adapter to simulate a wired headset, and any one of us could superglue it to the Treo, but why?
It seems to me that this is such a basic function that, especially with all the upgrades, they should be able to fix it easily. My impression is that no one at Palm is working on this and that no one is scheduled to work on this, but I hope I’m wrong.

No "Voice Dialer" prompting after GB Update

Has anyone else had an issue with the stock "voice dialer" no longer working properly since the recent OTA to 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)? I have the same "won't appear / won't disappear" issue with the voicemail notifications, but I have one other issue, and that is that the voice dialer no longer works for me with voice prompting. I installed the Google text-to-speech data download (which I had to do last update as well), but it has not solved the problem. This is especially troublesome if I want to make a hands-free call with either my Bluetooth headset or the link in my car. I did the OTA on the first day (Wed late afternoon) and am now finding the broken voice dialing prompting to be a major hangup. I push the button and hear nothing. It will record what I say and then I have to push a button on the screen to confirm the dialing, but without voice prompting, I have no idea if it got the number correct or not. I read elsewhere from one other forum where an individual had this same problem and a few users suggested using the free "Vlingo" app from the Android Market instead. I gave it a try, but it behaves oddly with the bluetooth connection (e.g. prompting doesn't come through my headset, but the phone's speaker, though it will use the mic from the headset). I want my stock "voice dialer" to work again. Help anyone?

I solved my issue today within minutes of knocking at the VZW store's door to roll me back to Froyo. Ready folks?
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Remove the backing, battery, and sd card
3. Leave it sit for a bit
4. Reinsert the battery and sd card
5. Perform a restart (hold in the power button)
Phone restarted. Connected to the car bluetooth. Now pressing the button to dial brings the voice prompting for dialing back again!
I have restarted the phone since then and the setting has been retained. If you lost your voice dialing prompting, please try these steps. Don't know why they worked (when a restart did not), but it did!
Now I just have the broken VM prompt that everyone else is experiencing... Hope a fix is soon.

Will a voice dialing car kit feature work with iphone 3g?

I am a new iphone user, and I know it doesn't have voice dialing, but I can't figure out if I can get around this by buying a car kit that offers voice dialing (e.g. parrot or motorola). Does this feature on the car kit require that the phone do voice dialing itself, or does it stand alone?
Or ... any chance of an app being developed/released to allow voice dialing on the iphone directly?
Thanks.

Tried it. It works, but isn't a perfect solution. Here's the direct link to the app.
There's a brief one-time initialization. With the app active, you need to press and hold a large icon while you speak. It searches, finds the contact, and presents you with a list of 4 possible numbers (main, home, work, mobile). Even if you have only one type of number (e.g. just the mobile number), you get all 4 buttons (the others just say 'not available') and have to press the button to make the call. It only works via the built-in mic, not bluetooth.
So, assuming you have the app open when you start driving, you'd need to press-and-hold while you speak, then locate and press the number choice. That's two looks at the screen, and that assumes it gets the name right (it did a pretty good job in my testing, missed one, and the "next name" button is pretty small. Easier than scrolling through contacts, though.
IMHO, a better bet for frequently called numbers is a Utility like Speed Dial, definitely worth the 99¢.

8830 voice dialing

I'm a new owner of an 8830 and I can't seem to pick it up without accidentally starting the voice dialing due to the button on the side of the blackberry. How can I disable this button so that the voice dialing won't be continually turning on?

Go to OPTIONS, SCREEN/KEYBOARD and scroll down to Right and Left side conviniance keys. Click the menu and choose CHANGE OPTION. I changed both my buttons to be Keyboard Lock.
Cheers
