This Simple Change would Make the Usage Widget Actually Useful

The usage meter widget on my Galaxy S4 tells me how much data I've used but it doesn't tell me as of when, which makes it not very useful.
If my meter looks like this on day 3 of my cycle then I have a problem. If it's on day 28, no problem! Stream videos all day!
What we need is a quick indicator of where we are in the cycle. Maybe you all know when your cycle starts and ends but I sure don't, not without checking my account. Here's an easy change that would make this widget one of the most useful:
VOILA! Now I know at a glance that my cycle is 3/4 over but I've only used about half my data.
REPLY BACK AND HELP US HELP VERIZON MAKE A BETTER WIDGET!!!!

Thanks for the feedback. Some points in return:
--I take the point that many people may have memorized their cycle date or for other reasons may not find the change I'm recommending to be useful. So consider the words "to me" added to the title of the post.
--Re notes about the execution of the change, I threw those images up after about 20 seconds in Photoshop as an example of what I'm saying. Obviously one would fully develop the look and functionality and then beta, etc.
--Those caveats aside, here's my basic point: Widgets are meant to save steps, providing the most information in the clearest way at a glance. Sure you could memorize your cycle date then figure out how far you are away from it and decide if your data usage is under, on track or over. A widget that saves steps by providing that information at a glance is, by definition, a better widget.
OK folks, I'm going to back to do actual work now!

  • What situation would make the dbms_scheduler to delay the execution of jobs

    Hello all,
    Env: 10.2.0.3
    I have a couple of jobs scheduled in DBMS_SCHEDULER to run at 6:00 AM everyday and it used to run at 6:00.
    But today instead of 6:00 they ran at 13:00. Next_run_time for jobs are at 6:00AM tomorrow. I checked the log files and but did not hit on anything.
    What are the situations that would hinder the scheduler from running jobs
    1] If DB is down, scheduler will start jobs once the db is up. [ But in my case DB was up at that time]
    2]
    Are there any other situation that would make the scheduler wait?
    TIA,

    Hi,
    job_queue_processes is 64
    MAX_JOB_SLAVE_PROCESSES is NULL  and
    sessions parameter is 665. The total sessions has never gone above 150.
    There were no jobs running in dba_scheduler_running_jobs.
    It so happened yesterday, one of the job scheduled in dbms_scheduler to run at 10:00AM didn't run. Then we manually ran it at around 11:00, though it was successful the last_start_date and next_run_date in the dba_scheduler_jobs didn't change.
    select job_name,job_type,start_date,repeat_interval,state,max_runs,failure_count,to_char(last_start_date,'dd-mm-yy hh24:mi:ss') last_start,to_char(next_run_date,'dd-mm-yy hh24:mi:ss') next_start,event_condition,job_priority,comments

  • Re: How I would make the Toshiba AC100 successful

    Hi All,
    I post my ideas for improvements here, maybe someone from Toshiba reads this.
    The original blog post is here:
    http://soltesza.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/how-i-would-make-the-toshiba-ac100-successful/
    Please feel free to contribute here or at the blog post.
    The AC100 is an early attempt from Toshiba to create an ARM based netbook (a smartbook) with Nvidia's successful Tegra2 chipset.
    Although, the AC100 looks like proper hardware design, it became only
    mildly successful. Some of the reasons may have to do with the primary
    operating system, Android ([see my earlier article about this|http://soltesza.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/toshiba-a100-smartbook-with-android-but-why/]) but even more can be attributed to the design decisions Toshiba made.
    Since these machines are now available in my home country (Hungary)
    at quite attractive price points (~$250 USD, some people seem to be
    trying to get rid of it soon after purchase) I can't help bumping into
    it all the time. Sinc[View post|http://soltesza.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/2011/05/09/how-i-would-make-the-toshiba-ac100-successful/]e
    I am a gadget fan, I always have my hand trembling seeing those prices
    and I need to cool myself down before doing some impulse-buy I regret
    later.
    What could make me click on the "Buy" button?
    *More memory*
    First of all, 1-2GB of RAM instead of the measly 512MB the AC100
    hosts. Why the heck tried Toshiba sell a netbook with 512MB of RAM when
    ALL of the Atom N450 netbooks seemed to come with 2 GB at that time?
    This amount of RAM would allow to slap Ubuntu onto the machine and not
    worry about running out of memory when loading up OpenOffice. Ubuntu has
    been demonstrated on the AC100 and even looks snappy. (see this [site dedicated to Ubuntu on the AC100|http://tosh-ac100.wetpaint.com/]). Toshiba could easily put 2GB of RAM into the machine without major cost-increase.
    *Desktop OS and/or Android*
    Putting 1-2GB of RAM into the AC100 would open the gate for using a
    proper, netbook-oriented desktop OS which can take advantage of the
    form-factor. They should use Ubuntu, since that could be fixed up on
    this hardware in no time (especially if they purchase some consultancy
    from Canonical).
    I don't think that Android needs to stay on the machine but if
    Toshiba still thinks it is such a good idea for any user-group, they
    could make the AC100 dual-boot, or even better, run both OSes in
    parallel (2GB of RAM would make this absolutely possible). Android would
    be the light-and-easy OS on the device but the user could any time
    switch to a full Ubuntu desktop with an Android launcher icon and start
    using OpenOffice or other decent desktop software. The
    paravirtualization developed by B-labs would be an [instant solution |http://armdevices.net/2011/04/04/android-virtualization-on-ti-omap4-processors-dual-core-cortex-a9/]for this problem and would future proof the machine for a possible Windows8 scenario later.
    *More battery*
    The 8 hour runtime of the AC100 is decent enough but more
    battery-time is always welcome. The enclosure has a LOT of free/empty
    space under the keyboard due to the ultra-compact nature of Tegra2 and
    its supporting circuitry. Toshiba should again take advantage of the
    form-factor and add one or more extra battery docking bays under the
    keyboard which could extend the runtime to 16-24 hours. (Admittedly,
    they would make the unit weight much more but since these batteries
    would be optional, this decision would be up to the user. A 24-hour
    runtime with a 3-battery arrangement would make the AC100 extremely
    appealing for a large-set of users. It would be acceptable that the
    batteries are charged in series (so the recharge process is lengthier)
    so that Toshiba doesn't have to switch to a more expensive power supply.
    (Although the power supply issue is probably not a serious cost
    factor).
    *What else*
    Of course, there would be a lot of things to be improved (more USB
    ports, higher-resolution display...etc) but I tried to draw up things
    which require smaller redesign so that an improved version could be
    implemented faster.
    I believe the AC100 line could be made really successful and Toshiba should take steps to make this happen.

    hi there,
    I'm new here and I need support from someone...
    I buy notebook toshiba ac100 3 weeks before and I suffer major problem...
    something happened with my screen , I press the power button and notebook is running /I can tell from turning on play-multimedia button for music and it plays music/ but the screen is not running !
    I try many many things, like only on A/C , only on battery , pushing button for switch between screen and ext.monitor , but unfortunately - the screen was still black !
    so I connect to flat tv with HDMI cable, and there you go - i have the screen ot the TV , but only there !
    my question is this is problem with the screen or something I do wrong ?!
    thank you in advance.
    regards.

    Where did you purchase this. The US phones do not come with the SIM removal tool anymore. They haven't for some time now. I'm not even sure it comes with any of the devices anymore. You can just straighten out a paper clip and do the same thing.

    I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time.  This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
    The specs of this iMac are:
    iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
    I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
    Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working. 
    I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
    Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
    If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

    Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

    driddy61,
    As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
    Adobe Reader for iOS
    Adobe Reader for Android
    Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
    In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
    The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers).  Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
    Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example.  You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
    Tablets
    However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
    (a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
    Example: Surface Pro 3
    You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
    (b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
    Example: Surface 2
    You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
    In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets.  However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
    Processor: Intel
    Operating system:  Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
    Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department.  Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

  • Who makes the nicest, easiest to use Flash website design software?

    Please forgive the beginner's question. I would like to build
    a flash site like
    http://www.hockaday.org from an
    easy to use Flash template. You get what you pay for so my first
    choice isn't something for free but a 30-day free trial version
    would be nice.
    What I like best about
    http://www.hockaday.org is the
    great menus and that pictures continually reload in interesting
    ways.
    Maybe a template is too restrictive. Who makes the nicest,
    easiest to use Flash website design software that allows fast
    creation of those fancy menus and with other fast features to do
    nice things with pictures and motion?
    I need to create a site like
    http://www.hockaday.org
    immediately so I don't have the time to learn Flash first. What's
    my best bet?

    you are in a catch 22 - you don't have time to learn flash -
    yet you need to build an entire site
    immediately - you can't - sure you can download a template
    that is similar but if this forum is any
    proof, you almost need more flash knowledge trying to
    decipher most templates in order to edit them
    - search this forum, there are several posts per week from
    non-flash users who purchased templates
    and have no clue how to edit them. Often times it is hard for
    an educated flash user to
    reverse-engineer a FLA made by somebody else - Flash
    documents are blank canvases that can be setup
    a myriad ways by different users making the same thing - some
    developers are more organized than
    others - most templates are not organized but rather thrown
    together for a quick profit.
    You will simply need to learn enough flash to understand how
    it works or hire somebody to edit the
    template for you.
    hope this helps.

  • Simple idea to make the iPhone almost unstealable.

    I have in a long time gone around thinking why an iPhone can be shut down without typing the password for it,
    I have 2 times gotten my iphone stolen, and og course i have Find My Iphone, but the thief knows that all it takes for him to get around that, is to turn off the phone and reset it to fabric settings before turning it on again, then I can't track it.. But If something as simple as requesting the iPhone password when you want to shut it down, exactly like it does when you want to use it was implemented, the iPhone would not be worth stealing, because then you can't, disable find my iPhone, you can't turn off the phone unless you smash it, which would make it almost unstealable.
    Just really hope that this can get enough attention for apple to actually make this :) it is sooo simple, yet so effective!

  • What specs would make the perfect MacBook Air for college?

    I've decided I'm going to get a MacBook Air for college, but I want to make sure it's the best possible for my four years as an undergraduate so I don't have to get a new one over this time period.
    For the processor: how much of a speed difference will there be between the i5 and i7? I'm thinking the i7 will be a better choice, but I really don't know what the difference will be.
    For RAM: 4gb should be plenty for four years, right? Right now I have a late 2008 aluminum MacBook with only 2gb of RAM and only recently did I notice it to start getting slow.
    Storage: My biggest concern. Will 256gb last me four years? I will be bringing an external hard drive, but I plan on only really using that for Time Machine backups and storage for photos. Should I make the jump to 512gb?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    The $100 upgrade from 4GB to 8GB (personally) I think is a total no brainer. RAM is one of those things that you can never have enough of and whatever decision you make at time of purchase is the one you're stuck with for the life of the machine. I can't tell you how many times I've had a user with the 2GB model from the previous generation complain of sluggish performance over a lack of available RAM. If it was hundreds of dollars I could see but it's not, especially when you factor in the cost of the machine. Over the course of three years the RAM upgrade translates into $2.78/month and you'd be "future proofing" yourself.
    As with previous generations, Apple only lets you upgrade from 256GB to 512GB if you buy the higher end model. Which means you're looking at $1999 for the 13" model with 512GB (4GB of RAM) and $1899 for the 11" model (4GB of RAM). Absolutely not worth it, unless you absolutely have to have 300-400GB of data available locally.
    I came into the conversation to clear up wrong information. If there's one thing I've learned in my time posting, more points doesn't mean good information. The OP, who's new, had a question about buying decisions and was given bad information. You've never corrected someone when they wrong? Doubt it...
    Regrettably, because this an open discussion forum, we're all free to respond to whoever and whenever. It's very possible that the OP may not know the technical differences between the various CPUs and thus would base his purchasing decision on your false information. Imagine his surprise when he's told that his i7 CPU is a dual core and not a quad core.
    Seeing you've asked (so eloquently I might add), I'm happy to provide information on the CPUs.
    The i5 in the 13" MacBook Air is an i5-3337U, the i7 is an i7-3667U. Both machines when benchmarked against one another in a PassMark CPU test scored as followed:
    i5 - 2,652
    i7 - 2,841
    A difference of 189 points. You're a numbers guy, Kappy. So if real estate property #1 is worth $2,652,000 and real estate property #2 is worth 2,841,000 how much more is that property worth? It's sure not 25%.
    My apologies to the OP for the divergent of your topic, but I think it's important when a frequent poster who's opinion is highly regarded but (other) members on here to be corrected when bad information is provided. I know I would expect the same correction if I recommended something incorrectly.

  • What would be the best way to use a list in a textarea to compare to values in a column in a database table?

    I'm trying to move a table from a MS Access database to a datasource online so I don't have to be the only one that can perform a specific task.
    Right now I regularly am having to assess change requests to determine if it impacts the servers my team supports.  Currently I copy and paste the text list into a temporary table in MS Access then hit a button to run a query comparing what was in that list to my server inventory.  Works fine but now I need to move this online so others can do this in a place where we can also keep everyone using the exact same inventory and am planning on using a ColdFusion server.
    So what I believe would be easiest is to create a form that has a textarea where I can just copy and paste what is in the change request and then hit a submit button and go to the next page where it would list all the servers that matched (with all the other info I also need).
    Almost always the info would hit the textarea with a separate row for each server with no other delimiters, etc.
    Example info in textarea:
    servername1
    servername2
    servername3
    What is the best/easiest way in the SQL code on the following page to take the values from the textarea the way they are listed and return results of any that match the server name column from that list?  What CF functions and SQL coding are needed?
    I've done something in the past where I did WHERE Server IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(Form.ServerList)#)...
    But I had to input 'servername1', 'servername2', 'servername3' in the text box and with how often we'll be copying lists as show above from a text area or from an excel column I'd really like a way to get from the example above to the results I need without having to manipulate.  Sometimes the list I'm comparing against may be 300+ servers and adding that formatting is not desirable.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    So here is a solution I came up with
    <cfoutput>
    <cfset Servers="#StripCR(Form.ServerList)#">
    <cfset Servers2="'#Replace(Servers, "
    ", " ", "All")#'">
    <cfset Servers3="#ToString(Servers2)#">
    <cfset Servers4="#Replace(Servers3, " ", "', '", "All")#">
    </cfoutput>
    Then in the cfquery SQL I used
    WHERE Server IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(Servers4)#)
    Right now this is working but it seems very cumbersome.  If anyone can come up with a way to simplify this please let me know.

  • "Ease of Access - Make the Mouse Easier to Use" will not turn off Auto-maximize

    I have a dual monitor setup and any window that I drag over to the right hand monitor gets auto-maximized. A red border appears around that monitor when I position a window (any window) in it. The left hand monitor works normally. I can make the window smaller,
    but if I try to move it from the top of the monitor or from the left side then it auto-maximizes.
    This problem does not occur if I log onto my wife's user account, so it must be something in the settings for my account.
    I see many people asking how to turn off the snap feature, and I have checked the "Prevent Windows from being automatically arranged..." box in the "Ease of Access" item in the control panel" - but this does not fix the problem.
    My tale of woe seems a bit different than what I have seen described in various forums.
    Has anyone seen this problem and solved it?

    Hi,
    Here's the way to disable auto-maximize via the registry:
    1.Run Registry Editor (RegEdit).
    2.Navigate to the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowArrangementActive
    3.In the right-pane, double click (or right click and select Modify) on WindowArrangementActive, and set its REG_SZ value to 0 to disable ; 1 to enable.
    4.Close Registry Editor.
    5.Log off and log on again, or restart computer for the change to take effect.
    Hope it helps.

  • Make the Forum Search Tool useful

    The current Forum Search Tool is nearly useless.  Please add the following features to make it a functional tool:
    1. Logical operators - i.e. allow the following searches: cow AND chicken, cow OR chicken, cow NOT chicken (or -chicken)
    2. Quoted text to search for exact phrases - i.e. allow the following search: "my chicken says moo"
    3. Results with date ranges - i.e. allow the following search: weird chicken, Results before 04/01/2012 or after 04/01/10 or between 04/01/2010 and 04/01/2012
    4. Mix it up!  "My chicken says moo" AND "purple chicken feed" -cow, results after 12/23/2012
    5. Search in one forum only - i.e. allow the following search: "chicken says moo" ONLY in the "Farm Animal Behavior" forum 
    6. Search ONLY in posts (answers and/or questions) made by a particular user - i.e. allow the following search - "purple chicken feed" posted by user "Farmer Brown" ONLY
    7. Do NOT include variations of words that you "think" might be "helpful".  Right now a search for the word "running" yields results that contain the following words: running, run, runs.  Weeding through all the useless
    "helpful" results is a huge waste of time and makes it difficult in the extreme to actually find "relevant" results.  HINT: There might be an actual REASON why we want to search for "running" and
    NOT "run" or "runs".
    8. Please make the default operator AND instead of OR when more than one search word is used.  Adding more terms to a search tool should produce FEWER, MORE REFINED RESULTS instead of MORE, IRRELEVANT RESULTS.  Very few people ever want
    to search on a single word only.  This is especially true in a technical reference environment!
    9. Sometimes I WANT a word spelled exactly as I typed it.  If I get results that I do not want because I misspelled a word, I can just retype the search.  If you FORCE me to use your spelling, this makes my search completely useless.  Please
    give us MORE options rather than less!
    10. Remove search result highlighting.  We don't need the words we just searched for being blasted at us in highlighted bold.
    NOTE: If there are any other requests for the search tool, post them as replies and I'll add them to this list.
    Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

    forum? who can help. please develop a powerful search for msdn forum. thanks
    Searching in one forum is currently possible, you just need to make sure that you only have a single forum selected in the left rail:
    This walkthrough is a bit out of date now, but it should still be helpful for selecting only a single forum:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18107.msdntechnet-forums-how-to-view-a-single-forum.aspx
    PS - I posted this same information (without the screenshot and FAQ link though) in
