Has anyone had any success with an external antenna on a UMW190?

Although I am getting good service from my UMW190 without an external antenna, I am in a low signal area and would like to have rock solid coverage.
I have tried a 1900Mhz yagi, a blade antenna, an omni, and a grid antenna. I am not seeing any difference in signal strength at all regardless of whether or not an antenna is connected and which way it is pointed. I have also tried two different pigtails form two different sources, and even borrowed a second UMW190 and tried it, all with no success. I know exactly where the tower serving my house is located, but I did try each of the directional antennas in a full 360 degree circle, stopping every few degrees to see if the RSSI improved. I tried both polarities too, although I understand it should be vertical.
When I contacted Verizon customer support they had very little information about it. I contacted Pantech, and they told me that support for this device is now handled by UTstarcom. UTStarcom told me that support for this device is now handled by Personal Communication Devices. When I contacted them the response was (and I quote) "We don't have any information on any external antenna support of our devices".
So I throw myself on the mercy of the Gurus here in the forum.
Am I missing something obvious? Is there a command that "activates" the external antenna connector? Does the connector even have anything connected to it inside the modem?
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Usually the external antenna works best where service is obstructed by certain materials and the external antenna is placed in a different area . If the signal is steady for the external antenna and the UMW190 in the area where you are using the devices, that would be the general signal strength of that area.

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out?

Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out? mine blew, there's now a charred pin on the charger and in the socket of the macbook. The plastic around the charge socket is also cracked & distorted from the blow-out. It wasn't a power surge as no other electrical items were affected. It wasn't liquid or dust, as I'm the only person who uses it & I'm very careful. I'm concerned that the consequences could have been terrible. I wasn't present when it happened though, I can just see the evidence after the event.
I have a mid 2010 13" Macbook running the latest software & use the original magsafe charger that came with it.
Will I have to fork out for a costly repair or is there a safety issue that Apple will sort out for me?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Everything in the box with iPhone is covered by the iPhone warranty ,go to Apple genius bar before warranty expires

Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive? If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

I'm looking at buying a new computer. Has anyone had any problems with fusion drive on iMac? If so, what kind of problems, and were they easily corrected?

NOPE!
I better not! My iMac is only a week old. And, if I did have any problems with it, I would let Apple deal w/it! I do not troubleshoot when I'm under warranty. That's Apple job!

Has anyone had any experience with using 'MacKeeper'?

Has anyone had any experience using 'MacKeeper'?

I am afraid its worsen then THAT!!. I bought two licences from those fraud spammers, liftetime with "satisfaction or moneyback guarentee".
Both my Imac and MacPro kept crashing after installing it. All the helpdesk from zeobit did for me was sending me mails i should re-install osx and mackeeper.
When that didnt help, the gave in. I asked my money back, as in the guarentee. Thet denied flat out. "Sir this is not OUR software causing the problem, but OSX. Go there with your complained!"
Alsoo there newsletter......i UNLISTED 9 times now and still i get 5-8 spam mails a week.

TS1702 Has anyone had any issues with the app scramble with friends after updating to iOS 6. The touch screen is not responding properly when selecting the tiles but worked fine before the update

Has anyone had an issue with the app scramble with friends after upgrading to iOS 6. Tapping the screen will not select the tiles and hold them.

Yes I am having the same problem. I can't find any info about it and nothing seems to help. I am just posting this in hope that if it's a wider problem, there will be a quick solution.

Has anyone had any problems with the latest upgrade for iPad?

I have an iPad 1 and am being prompted to upgrade to the latest version software. Has anyone had any problems when doing this? Our PC runs on Wndows 7.
Having just resolved iTunes not connecting to the store after the recent upgrade, I'm reluctant to do something that could potentially screw up the iPad which does what we want as it is.

Ok, thanks for that. I'll hang fire for the moment & see if anyone else has any comments.
That's probably a good idea. If you are happy with the system as is, I'd wait to upgrade. I can report that my friends and family have mostly upgraded to iOS 5 without any problems, but as you can probably tell from other posts on this board, lots of people have run into problems.
As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Has anyone had any success in correcting Maps mistakes?

On multiple occasions I've submitted a correction using the function within Maps to report errors, but nothing is ever done. Has anyone ever had any success in getting Apple's attention and getting something fixed? Or is the submitting a correction feature just a black hole? I've had to tell friends with iPhones to always use Google Maps rather than Apple to navigate their way to my house because Maps has completely mislabeled the street outside my development. It sure would be nice if they had a human being you could call...

The map data is not directly from Apple. Map data comes from Tom Tom and other map data suppliers. Corrections sent to Apple are then sent to the data suppliers. They update on their schedules. You can provide addtional feedback to Apple about your concerns at www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

Convert EBS RDF to XMLP - anyone had any success with the converter

I have converted the ARXCAR rdf to XML Publisher which was surprising simple. However getting it to work seems to be a different matter. The PL/SQL contained multiple bugs which were easily fixed. The dataTemplate contains lexicals for KFF's which don't work and I have already posted a message here and raised a TAR. Working round the lexical issue I ran into a NULL POINTER EXCEPTION dead end.
The base report for this conversion is not overly complex in the EBS scheme of things and I am just wondering if anyone has had any success in converting EBS reports with this utility?

SOLVED - Has anyone had any problems with xorg 1.11.14-1?

Last night I had a double catastrophe. The first was nothing to do with Linux, but was the result of a rogue drive trashing my sata ports and killing both Arch and Windows. I managed to rescue Windows, but since Arch was running at the time (and updating) nothing I tried could bring it back. After restoring from a backup (10 days old) I started the updates again (a gargantuan 415Mb) which completed, though after a reboot X failed to start. Nothing in the logs, and no activity at all. My usual fix is to remove xorg.conf and reboot, which will generally get me to the desktop to troubleshooting stage using vesa drivers instead of catalyst, but even this couldn't get me to a desktop. I tried removing catalyst altogether from single user mode, but nothing would fix.
I restored the backup again, and did all updates except kernel, catalyst, and xorg. Everything worked fine, so next I updated catalyst - still working. A fresh backup and I updated the kernel. Still working, which means the only thing not updated at this point (and in my mind the most likely culprit for the failures) is xorg.
Now I'm not daft enough to try updating before I make a fresh backup (I've remade several tweaks to my system that got lost after the original crash), but before I go to the trouble, I wondered has anyone else had any problems with the updated xorg?
For info, I'm running on a Phenom X4 965BE, AMD 4670HD with catalyst 12.1, kernel 3.2.2-1.
TIA

Any idea where the problem was?
X also fails to start for me now, when the catalyst driver is loaded. It used to work before, but after recent upgrades and changes to the system it's somehow broken.
(Same catalyst and xorg versions as you mentioned, but with kernel 3.2.4-1)
Switching to the open-source radeon driver makes X start fine, switching back to catalyst breaks it again.

Has anyone had any success in downloading their phonebook to a Prius

I have a 04 Prius and I am wondering if anyone ever had any success in downloading their contacts/numbers to a Prius and if so how did they do it.

I just set up my 3g iphone with a 2009 Prius this weekend. I was NOT able to transfer my phonebook so I had to enter all the contacts manually. This took quite some time but was successful. I was also able to set up the voice calling feature, with help from the Prius forms I might add. The phone syns up every time I get in the car and seems to dial correctly and everything is clear on both ends. I would have to say that everything is as is should be.

Has ANYONE had any success installing 2.0?

Before I take the plunge, has anyone had success updating to 2.0? I am sure there must be some who are enjoying themselves now, so if you have been successful, was there a trick or are some people simply having problems?

Yes - I just upgraded to 2.0 about an hour and a half ago. I was fighting an issue with not being able to backup my phone prior to the upgrade (unknown error -43, which I finally tracked down to iTunes not playing nicely with a redirected Application Data folder). I ended up backing up the phone on my laptop and running the upgrade from there. Entire process took about 30 minutes to download the update, upgrade the phone, restore my settings, etc. - and it even activated immediately upon completion, and I had two new text messages that came through right away . . .

Has anyone had any problems with the 10.0.3 upgrade?

I'm running WinXP and presently have Adobe Reader 9.4.3. Before I upgrade I would like to find out if anyone has had any problems with the new release? The last time I upgraded an Adobe product (Flash) it screwed up my ability to watch videos on my browser.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Spin45

Adobe Reader has the original 10.0.0 with its associated vulnerabilities and the patch of 10.0.1 which seems unable to run in protected mode in my environment or any that have roaming profiles. The vulnerabilities that prompted the last two patches (would have been 10.0.2 and 10.0.3) have been forgone by Adobe, because "Protected Mode mitigates those vulenrabilities". See here: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-06.html
and here: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
In my opinion, Reader X is not ready, they are soliciting for testers for a new release. Version 9 with its attendant problems seems to be the only viable solution for me, if I can get the patches to apply properly, and the installer to work properly.

Has anyone had any success downloading their eTextbooks for Chegg?

Would just like to know because college classes are coming up for me and was thinking of getting my textbook through my Ipad Air (even though it's highly expensive from that too unfortunatley). Wondering if anyone tried downloading from it and had any problems like maybe not enough space, any errors where the textbook didn't show up on screen, etc. Also if it's possible, can you recommend me some cheap textbook or websites? Please andt thank you.
I have a 16GB Ipad Air btw and hope I can be able to download this: http://www.chegg.com/textbooks/beginning-and-intermediate-algebra-3rd-edition-97 80073384375-0073384372?trackid=48188d5f&autosuggest=1&uqry=beginning+and+in&ii=3

Has anyone had any problem with the multi choice tick boxes on a windows computer?

I have just created a form with check boxes on my iMac, emailed it to a windows based account and found that the check boxes don't work in windows explorer. Has anyone else had this problem?

If your Mac is truly running MacOS 10.2.x, you are limited to using 128-bit WEP security - WPA is not supported.
On the Linksys router, select 128-bit WEP and enter a passphrase. The router will generate, from the passphrase, four hexadecimal-format WEP keys. Copy down the FIRST of those four WEP keys - and use that WEP key on your Mac when prompted.
