"Sleep of death" question and some observations

I just recently upgraded to an S3 from a Fascinate, and I've been impressed so far. The only thing I really didn't like about my Fascinate was that it would suddenly freeze or crash one every week or two, and the only thing I could do was open the case, remove the battery, and then put the battery back in. Then I could reboot the phone and all was well. Well, after not using my S3 for an hour or so, I tried to wake it up and nothing happened. I couldn't turn it off (or on) either. Sleep of death. I had to open the case, remove and re-insert the battery to use the phone again. Is this a common problem? What could be causing it? Is there any other way to fix it?
Overall, I really like the S3. It's a significant upgrade from the Fascinate. Screen quality and size (larger but not too big), processor speed, and 4G LTE are great. I have a seven year old iPod that is still hanging in there, but I hope to use my S3 in my car (2012 Prius II, no Nav or Entunes) to listen to my music if and when my iPod dies. I can't get music to play on my car stereo when I plug my S3 into my car's USB port (I'm told its because the S3 doesn't support mass storage mode). But, after uploading some iTunes music to Google Play, I can play it with my S3 over Bluetooth audio. The sound quality is good, but not quite as good as a USB connection is. I'm experimenting with various audio settings in Google Play Music to see if I can enhance the sound quality. If anyone knows how to play audio with an S3 over a USB connection, I'd be interested in finding out.
I haven't used the camera very much yet (I have had the S3 only two days) but the few photos I have taken look good. Battery life seems to be improved over the Fascinate. Call quality also seems up a notch. I haven't yet tried some other features, and still others i have yet to discover! This phone comes with very good reviews, and I can see why.
I can also say that I was very pleased with the service I was given at the VZW store in Augusta, Maine, when I went to upgrade my phone. So far, other than the sleep of death issue, I'm a happy camper.

Stop using the stock browser and use Chrome instead. See if the "sleep of death" goes away.

Newbie to keynote; some questions and some observations about this group

Hello, my attn was called to this group. I have seen some impressive presentations in keynote so maybe it is time to switch.
From what?
I do a lot of presentations. I use acrobat. Prepare my page in whatever app is best for the job; print to pdf; include fonts. By using the app of my choice I get just what I want in my slide.
I can readily arrange slides in sorter in acrobat. Allows minimal animation, by, say, preparing the full slide, make copies, and delete progressively. sort to show from the least to the fullest; works for me.
pdf allows touch up text and adding text, which I often think of at the last minute. Drawing an oval or line to point to something. For heavier editing open a slide in illustrator and save as pdf.
So, as I say it works for me. Not glitzy. Certainly pretty easy to produce decent slides.
Most everyone has acrobat on his/her machine, so if I take my presentation on a stick, it can work, nicely, cross platform. Very few occasions when that didnt work.
So I would like to hear folks' experiences. Can you take your presentation on a stick and show it on someone else's computer?
What about posting presentations. I generally put my pdf on my web page, giving the audience the url; seeems to work fine. Again I ask for experience.
Seems like quite a learning curve for keynote. And I browsed about 4 pages of discussion on this board before posting. I saw mostly complaints and problems, and not all that many solutions. And very few raves.
So, I would welcome some testimonials.
PS I dont want to do anything so glitzy that folks will come up to me after the talk and say nice animations; better they talk to me about the substance of my talk.
thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums, troglodyte.
If you want a testimonial, I think that Keynote is hands-down the easiest to use presentation tool, and produces by far the best-looking results. It is far ahead of PowerPoint.
Keynote produced beautiful results, even when converted to PDF, as it has very nice graphics features (e.g., drop shadows, masking, transparency). If you are most comfortable with PDF, and don't need animations or transitions, then Keynote still has a lot to offer. That said, much of the "wow-factor" of Keynote comes from its lovely and sophisticated transitions and animations.
(These features needn't be just eye-candy, either, as they can serve to emphasize points and help unify certain material. For example, I use transitions that are more obvious, such as the "Doorway", to mark major changes of topic in my presentations, and more subtle ones, like "Dissolve", to change between related slides. This "grammar" of transitions helps to make the presentation more comprehensible.)
Keynote is not cross-platform, so you can't put a native Keynote presentation on a memory stick and be assured that it will work on someone else's computer. However, PDFs make from Keynote should function just fine. Alternatively, you can use various of the other exporting options in Kenote, including Quicktime, Flash, and PowerPoint, to provide more cross-platform compatibility than Keynote does (each of these conversions has its own limitations however). And several of these formats are also appropriate for web deployment.
I find Keynote extremely easy to use. Do realize that these forums are primarily intended for troubleshooting, so you won't find a lot of generic compliments to the application.

Is 1.3 Bios really better than 1.52B?? Neo2 Board and Some Observations!

Hi All... I read this post on the forums and it got me thinking and i did some fiddling and made some observations..
This is whith regard to the 1.3Bios being better than the 1.52B Bios.. because it would let you run in turbo mode...
Ok i've spent the last 60mins testing and i came up with the following..
1.3BIOS
With the 1.3Bios.. no matter what memory timings u set... it does'nt show in CPU-Z and it does'nt make a difference in the memory bandwith scores...
For example my ram was rated at 2.5-3-3-8 .. i changed it to 2.5-2-3-8 .. it did'nt change and my scores remained the same..
Going from Slow to Fast to Turbo.. did'nt incrase my scores.. actually.. donno how.. but i got a decrease in scores..
The only thing that was noticable was that MSI core-center overclocks the CPU a lil more than what is set in BIOS..
1.52B BIOS
With the 1.52B Bios... u can change the memory timings and it does show in CPU-Z and it makes a massive difference with Sisoft sandra.. 250mbps more..
What u set in the bios .. u get with the 1.52B.. Corecenter does'nt mess around and overclock it more..
Going from Slow to Turbo did give me an increase in scores.. slightly..
Im now running Ultra-Turbo.. and i get a sisoft bandwith score of 5250Mbps at 3.21G..
CONCLUSION
So infact i think the 1.52B is better than the 1.3 . I don't have a Radeon so i donno how these bios's work with the cards cause i've read about some problems... I'm getting one soon so 'ill post some info about that in a fortnight..
I personally think this board is great.. atleast the one i have.. never had a problem.. had it for 3 months.. i have a revision 1.. no DOT sticker.. and just the Neo2-S version... I've used Spectec 333 on this board too (dual) had no problems..
Wish i had some DDR-500 so i could test whether this board can do 1:1 above 250...whether it has a 1:1 limitation above 285 like some other boards.. that is my only doubt.. anywayz.. i hope atleast some of u are sailing as smoothly with this board as i have..
Get some nice ram .. this Twinmos Dual channel kit DDR400 with the Twinmos chips are really great.. and i recommend it..

That´s wrong. RAM-Settings are displayed fine. Turbo does make a BIG difference in scores. About 15% more performance. In Games and in benchmarks like 3dmark and sandra, too.

A few questions and some things we found about Memory Management

We have been development a pretty complex RIA in flash; true
we probably should have used flex but we are very heavily invested
in flash and moving to flex was not really an option due to time
constraints and the learning curve associated with changing. That
reminds me are the Flex UI Objects going to be made available for
Flash CS3 I mean that advanced datagrid would be nice?
The application is a order processing and document
management system that has around 150 swf’s and I am posting
here to let people know what we found through our development and
testing cycles and also have a few questions that I am hoping
someone will at least point me in the right direction.
We were kind of disappointed to find that you could no
longer duplicate Movies and were forced to reload them if we wanted
different instances, but we got over that fast. Keeping this in
mind we decided to make as many dynamic screens as we could but
these turned out to be horribly time consuming. I mean sure we
could make the fields jump around like fleas on a dogs back (and it
was a great joke) but not very practical. So back to the IDE and
fla creation we went. This leads me to my first question has anyone
see heard of or thought about a SWF file reader that would read the
layout of a SWF and then generate the actionscript as output?
As we were developing we found that it was more complex, and
I think unnecessarily so, to get connected to a database. We use
ColdFusion as our “middleware” so it wasn’t to
bad and this leads me to my next question. Is there or has there
been any indication that Flex data services or well I guess BlazeDS
now is available for Flash CS3?
So we went on our merry little way and everything was going
great until testing this is when we started to see what kind of
memory flash really eats up. In the beginning our app would take up
a gig through the course of a day.
Any Class that we created we added a CleanUp method to it.
Yes we used weak listeners, yes we destroyed, and all references to
the main movies, and yes that was it the main movies.
Don’t be fooled the same way we were. The Garbage
collection simulation
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/garbage_collection.html
does not really tell you the whole story. Even though if you cut
the line from the root the simulation suggests that the rest of the
objects that you have created within that object will be marked and
collected. Not so.
After much testing we found that if we wanted a full recovery
of memory the object and it’s sub objects and sub sub ojects
within arrays also with sub objects must be deallocated and then
assinged null to get full collection, I say full but really mean
between 90-95% reminds me of my C programming days.

Appletv & Time capsule question and some others.

Hello
My ATV is pretty much full now and so today I have taken delivery of a Time Capsule (1TB).
Question 1: Lets assume the TC is half full this time next year. This makes it much bigger than the laptop itunes is on. How do I make it leave stuff on the ATV/TC but not synch it over to itunes?
Question 2: My itunes crashes everytime it tries to synch with ATV. Another thread on here suggests that if you have a large amount of data that needs synching (in my case about 15 new tv episodes and a film, so a fair bit) then it works better if hardwired. Must I disable the wireless if I'm hardwiring it? If so, how? As it is currently, each time I connect up the laptop to the ATV with the ethernet cable it makes it all go incredibly wrong.
Thanks for your help.

iTunes crashing could indicate a problem with itunes, your network or your OS.
Your wifi settings are disabled on the Apple tv when an ethernet connector is plugged into it.
If you are connecting an ethernet cable directly between your PC and the Apple tv, you should be using a cross-over cable.

How to transfer edited photos to PC? Question AND some solutions!

I make photos with my 5s. I Love HDR and Volume Trigger, so I use apple camera app.
I hate 4:3 Ratio, so I edit the photo using the apple photo app (or directly after shooting the photo) to 16:9 and it looks great.
Once a Week I sync with itunes and get my photos to PC (Win7) BUT only the Original Photos appear on PC.
I already read in apple help that the editing is "non-destructive" so only applied in meta data, which will be read correctly on a MAC ...
But I want my edited photos?
Is there an easy way to get them?
I already know follings workaround which I dont really like.
1. Email the Photos (too time consuming for me)
2. Use another Photoeditor App and save either lokal in app then transfer only from that app instead of apple photos app. (I love the stock app, especially red eye fix)
3. Use another camera app which CAN directy save 16:9 photos, so nothing to edit.(here also I love the stock app and didnt find anything compareable, I already own procamera 7 and camera+)
4. edit photos on PC and s**t on apple (actual my favorite)
5. Use Dropbox (auto upload function will only upload originals). On the other hand if I choose in dropbox manually photos to be uploaded the edited ones will be there (my favorite #2)
I included the solutions for other ppl. with same problem to let em know.
Any other solutions?

Have you tried after editing the photo, and it is in full view, do a screen shot? The saved screen shot should appear as a new photo.

My iweb site and some observations

here:
http://web.mac.com/neoverse/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html
I like it but until it supports flash and custom html, I can't really use it for my music site.
for personal use though, it's exquisite!

i would just dump the .mac and buy a domain. Bluehost will set you up for $6.95/month..there are plenty of others out there as well. You wouldn't "link" to your .mac address you would publish to a folder in iWeb then copy those files to your new domain (they would be able to tell you where to copy the files to once you purchase it).

New BrightSide Questions and Comments

I just got my BrightSide. I was eligible to upgrade about 4 years ago, but haven’t because of Verizon’s selection of basic phones. I looked into upgrading because I read on a news website that Verizon was going to start charging a $30 fee for upgrading. I did not see anything about this anywhere else. Also, I found out after I opened the box the box (which would cause a $35 restocking fee if sent back) that Best Buy and Radio Shack are selling the phone for $70 less. That’s $70 after my Verizon “discount”. I never thought to check elsewhere because I figured that Verizon would have the best price.
Overall, I really like my new BrightSide. It’s almost like a smart phone without having to get a data plan. I have some questions and some comments for those who are interested below. I tried to get answers from Samsung, but their support sucks. One person would tell me one thing. I would reply, get another person, and they would tell me something different.
Questions:
1) Is there a way to take pictures in “portrait” mode?
2) When a picture is taken in “send message mode”, it saves it at a lesser resolution as if I would use the camera (I have the camera set at 3.2 MP), take a picture, save the picture, then attach it to a message. Is there a way to keep the higher resolution of a saved picture? With both ways, the picture is “reduced” to send, but the saved picture resolution is still higher.
3) When I open my picture gallery and the picture has the arrows on the side, I can “slide” through my different pictures if I touch the current picture. By touching the current picture, it also zooms it. If I pick the zoom option when a picture has the arrow to the sides, the picture zooms, but does not let me “slide” through my other pictures. Is there a way to slide through my other pictures if I pick the zoom option?
4) The phone has a display and phone lock. Is there a way to do a phone lock quickly without having to go to the security settings and entering the security code? I do a phone lock because the display lock button is in a poor location. If I do a display lock, I usually hit the display unlock button when putting it in my case.
5) How do I know when the phone is fully charged? When I check the screen, all I see is something saying to unplug the charger to save power. My old Motorola phone had a message saying that it was completely charged.
6) Does anyone know which Samsung software can be used to sync Outlook to the BrightSide? Samsung has Kies, Mini Kies, and New PC Studio. As mentioned earlier, Samsung was not very helpful.
7) I have the text mode set to “Abc”. I usually double space between sentences when texting. If I go one space, it stays “Abc”. If I go two spaces, it goes to “abc”. Is there a way to double space and keep “Abc”? That’s the way that it worked with my old Motorola phone.
8) Can I use a microphone that is included with a wired headset?
9) There is a place for a strap attachment. Does anyone know what would work here? I think that the phone would be easy to drop.
Comments:
1) The charging cable is also a data cable. I figured that I would mention this because I did not see it anywhere in the documentation.
2) I don’t like the “limited” video resolution.
3) I don’t like that the camera does not have a flash. I also would have liked a little better camera resolution.
4) The manual and Samsung says that you can only use a microSD memory card, but you can use a microSDHC card. These are also cheaper if you don’t buy them from Verizon.
5) I sent myself a text message with some phone numbers in it from an email address. When I opened the text message, the phone recognized the numbers as phone numbers. I touched a phone number and I was asked if I wanted to call the number.
6) I have big hands, but have no problem using the QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is one of the reasons that I bought the phone.
7) I like how the Brightside can “read” text messages.
8) I like Notepad. It comes in handy saving info sometimes.
9) I don’t like the plastic battery cover.
10) The voice recognition works well for me.

I have the Bright Side as well.....while I like the large screen (makes it easy to read @ night), I feel my "old" LG flip phone had more to offer than this one. A person needs more than 14 days to really work w/ this phone.
I was very unhappy that I couldn't change the color, style & put colored icons in my texts. Also, my phone shuts its self off whenever it wants which is a pain !
The salesperson that, more than happily, helped me with this phone, said "he didn't know anything about it and would I let him know how it worked". When I tried to reach this person again, he never returned my call. Not a good thing.
The camera is pretty good and I find mine does have a flash, nothing you can turn on or off, it just happens if it's dark enough. I would, however, like to be able to zoom in for a closer, clearer picture.
I would NOT recommend this phone to ANYONE! Oh yes, it's supposed to be Blue tooth "compatible" , that's a farce. You'd be better off buying a head set/ear buds to use...of course it's not a convenient as the Bluetooth would be, you'd be tethered to the phone BUT, hopefully it would work better.
A sales person from one of the Verizon call centers said I could replace this phone with a different one, nothing said about having to pay extra. You can bet i'll be going back to LG phones!
I know this doesn't address any of your concerns but just wanted you to know your not alone in disliking the Samsung Bright Side.

Web dynpro ALV and some other questions

Hi All,
I have couple of question for experts.
I am very much new into Web Dynpro world, and i have one web dynpro application built by my old colleague.
I want to add search feature into the application so that out of 1000 records i could search one based on some field value, how can we achieve that ?
I have read lot abot ALV list in web dynpro, How to find that specific approach has been used into particular web dynpro application or not ?
Thanks for your time for reading my question and hope to get some response..
Pranav.

Hi Pranav,
Hope the following helps you.
Searching for a record based on some field value
You can have an input field (bound to a context attribute) in your view. Whatever you type in the field will now be associated with the context attribute in your context. Place a button on your view. Define an action for this button (e.g. SEARCH), in the property onAction of the button. Now, in the action handler for the button (ONACTIONSEARCH), access the context attribute (can be done using WD Code Wizard). Then using your business logic, get the date into another context attribute, which can be displayed in the view using a textview (or textviews)
Find whether ALV is used in your WD Application
Go to your WD Component, in the used components you should find a use for component SALV_WD_TABLE. Also, in one of the views, the Interface View TABLE of the ALV component will be embedded in its ViewContainerUIElement. This information can be found in the Window of your own WD Component.
Regards,
Neha
