2 Weeks With My Z10 And Wishes For The Next BlackBerry
Verizon BB Z10
Hardware :
I have in my possession BB Z10 from Verizon and Q10 from international carrier also Z10 from AT&T. I try to compare my own personal Z10 with the others including my Verizon Galaxy note 2, Droid Razr MAXX , iPhone 5 and Lumia 920.
My Z10 is very comfy on my hand. 1 hand usage.. I still prefer 1 hand usage for phone.. and for iOS user who switch back to BB Z10, It feels just perfectly placed on my palm
Usage:
My personal usage of cellphone is heavy duty emails/texts/web browse with basics entertainment such as netflix and youtube and including but not limited to using notepad and some C++ editor/compiler on my android. In this test I limited it to personal usage only and work related(texts,emails,games)
Early Usage :
The initial usage of my Z10 was very weird. it took me 12hrs of charging from 20% to full battery. Next cycle took me 8hrs and after that it took me about 4hrs 53mnt - 5hrs 15mnts give or take. The charging time awfully took a long time. I tried to resolve it with the Verizon customer service but they also did not have any idea as of why and what cause the phone to took some awful long time to charge the battery. Oh well I could live with it.
2 Weeks After :
- 3days into usage I got into random reboot problems that confirmed by BB support team is due to my OS 10.0.9.422. The support said it was a known issue with that OS and fixed with update of OS 10.1 which they said it was up to Verizon to push it out(no news whatsoever about the update from the Big Red Dracula Team).
-Prompted to install previous OS when connected to Link Desktop Software but prompted to install newer OS when check through OTA update
-Battery charging issue still plagued my phone until this time
-Sudden Reboot when opening heavy loaded website or bombarded by emails, texts and whatsapp all together
- Facebook is another Horror Movie come true... messages not sent, messages late came through or the notifications won't gone even when we already checked it. If that happen I must open my Facebook app to check it again. So what's the point that it linger around in the hub??
- Incompetent answer by the carrier customer rep as how to resolve my issues and problems.
-docs open swift and no problem
-Save screenshot or image from the item cannot be save directly to memory card.. Instead I must work around the system to save it to my phone and moved it to my memory card. What is the point..
Conclusion :
For a person who came from iOS and android I actually quite surprised and pleased. After given consideration for a while I realized that AT&T support for the BB platform was actually better than Verizon( I owned BB 9900 and 9930 previously also). It was too bad that my Carrier(Verizon) did not support BB10 all through the way. BB10 is a very solid platform who still keep the main purpose of work functionality in their platform. iOS, Lumia and Android evolved to mainstream system, that I felt personally, put forward in media and games too much in their system.
BB10 is simple and easy to use but also have the media/entertainment aspect as a side compliment to it and not the way around. Too bad that carrier like Verizon is very very SLOW to push update and support for this platform.
WISHES :
I sometimes still like to use my Droid Razr MAXX. I could dock it at my home/office or bring the lapdock with me to make it a full laptop during my meeting. I do not need a tablet since my phone replace everything in one device. Tablet as convenient as they are.. will never replace my All-In-One Droid Razr Maxx. I wish BlackBerry will come out with this solution(e.g www.casetop.ca). A market that no one seems to grab as solution to work enviroment. Phone, Laptop and All Round Personal Computer at home also..
wish good luck for BlackBerry team.. Good job.. Good job indeed..
Oh I've seen the ACK message also. Sometimes your power source may intermittently not deliver the power needed and that message is generated. Usually if I see that I unplug and re plug and all is well.

Using the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?
I am intending to upgrade to photoshop CC from photoshop CS6, my concern is is my computer is 6 years old and probably I will not be able to upgrade to a later mac operating system as I have mac os 10.9, and I may not be able to upgrade to a future version of photoshop, will I be able to use the current version of photoshop CC with Mac OS 10.9 for the next 5 or so years on same mac?, I know I can do this with Photoshop CS6.
There's no reason why you can't do both. You will always have CS6 to fall back on if the need should ever arise, the same as most of the regular posters here. But you could enjoy CC for as long as it suited you, and it has some very features and more are coming all the time.
We've seen two nice updates to Photoshop CC in the eight months since the subscription model went live. (Have I got that right?) So we can expect three a year or more, and there were some killer new features in 14.2. Heck, it would already break my heart if I had to go back to CS6. In another four years... It ain't gonna happen. -
Searching in file and looking for the next occurence
Hello!
I have a problem when searching in a text file. I want to find a specific occurence of an element and next time I perform the serach fint the next occurence. One problem is that the file is in some large (>1Gb) I cant get it to work. Please look at my snippet below:
n = 0;
do {
if (bufReader.read() == -1)
break;
do {
line = bufReader.readLine();
if (line.indexOf(s) !=-1){
n = bufReader.getLineNumber();
System.out.println("Next:" + next);
bufReader.mark(500);
} while (n != bufReader.getLineNumber());
if (next < n){
bufReader.reset();
line = bufReader.readLine();
if (line.indexOf(s) !=-1) next = bufReader.getLineNumber();
} while (next > n);
if (line == null) return;I had already explored the Time Series algorithm and the predictions are not what i wanted as i do not have the month and day sepecifications. The only measure i have is a year and a total for that year. And i have 5 years of historical data.
I was an easy solution. In excel we predict using Linear Expression and that is not something which is straight drag and drop in the OLAP World !! The dataset that i was using with the logic of "scenario" etc was incorrect. Cleanup the fact table (measures)
and make it appear like this:-
The factsummary table looks like below:-
DateKey FiscalYear total
20100101 2010 19000
20110101 2011 19700
20120101 2012 19800
20130101 2013 19666
20140101 2014 19444
Write an MDX Expression as below and thats about it !!
WITH
MEMBER Measures.[Total Sales Forecast] AS
LinRegPoint(
Rank( [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember, [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.LEVEL.MEMBERS),
Descendants( [Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year], [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.LEVEL),
[Measures].[Total],
Rank( [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember, [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.LEVEL.MEMBERS))
,FORMAT_STRING="#,0"
SELECT
DESCENDANTS( [Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year], [Date].[Calendar].[Year]) ON COLUMNS,
{ [Measures].[Total], Measures.[Total Sales Forecast]} ON ROWS
FROM [Adventure Works]

IWeb Bugs and a wish for the future. :)
Hi there,
Two issues that I've found moving my photoblog to iWeb, and I'm wondering if they are bugs or issues that the community knows about:
1. I've changed the template I used a lot - font colours, background, etc. Now when I create a new blog entry, it uses the old, standard template and I have to change everything again. Is there a way to make iWeb realise that I've changed my "default" template settings so all new entries remain the same? It seems not. This is my feature wish.
2. Related to this, I solve this problem by just duplicating one of my existing pages and then changing the photo and content and date. The PROBLEM with this is where i think the bug exists. In iWeb, when I click Next/Previous, it goes between the different entries in chronological order, as expected... but when it publishes to .Mac, the next/previous buttons are really messed up, linking to articles/pages that are not even close to being near them in order. I've been able to determine that:
a. Create three new entries in iWeb. Works good.
b. Duplicate the middle entry, put it LAST in the order.
c. The NEXT button on this new, last entry links to the third item, just as the original 2nd item did before I duplicated it.
Is there any way to make iWeb re-calculate the next and previous buttons before you publish it? Or even better, any Apple folks around that can confirm/escalate this?
UPDATE: It's also possible that iWeb is ordering the next and previous buttons based on the time the entry was created in iWeb, rather then the time specified on the entry. If you are porting older entries from a previous blog, this can be a pain because you're not necessarily putting entries in from oldest to newest.
Either way - the behaviour isn't as expected: next and previous buttons ordered by the date specified in the iWeb 'Entries' window.
3. This is more advanced, but seems a bug none the less. I use .Mac publishing, because it's integrated and easy. But I also have my down domain, which I have configured to just "forward" to my .Mac folder. So, when someone goes to www.mydomain.com, the server connects to web.mac.com/me/iWeb/ and makes the request, translating the path. This works really great (save some initial headaches with character encoding), but comments in iWeb blogs don't work when you do this.
They work directly when you go directly to .Mac, but something about the comment system requires that the client browser accurately present the URL to the .Mac server, and in my case, it's reporting my domain name. As a result, when you click to add a comment, you get a "there has been an error" page and it dies.
If this little annoyance could be fixed in a point release version of iWeb, that would be AMAZING.
4. Lastly, one more wish for the future. .mac domain hosting. Domains aren't just for businesses - lots of people have them for their blog/photos/etc now. If I could make my domain point to my .Mac web hosting without any messy translation, I'd be in heaven. I don't even care if I only get my single e-mail address on the domain - just the hosting would be so excellent.
MacBook Pro 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.6)It sounds like it! I ported about 10 new posts from my old MovableType installation last night and am seeing the same behaviour - duplicating entries definately breaks the chronological order of next/previous.
Apple?

am trying to sync my ipad with my computer and keep getting the following message: iTunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings in your ipad. an unknown error occurs (1631). what do I do??
The search bar can be very valuable...........
In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad? If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........ -
i am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?
There is nothing to prevent him from downloading and installing the trial version (Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe). At the point all you need to do is provide him with the serial number so that he can activate it. If the intent is that he be the owner of the software then you might want to see about transfering the license...
Transfer an Adobe product license -
I have an iMac5,1 with an intel processor. For the last month or so, whenever I play a video from an outside source - e.g. YouTube, the picture jumps and breaks-up. All of my software is up-to-date. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?
You're welcome. As to checking speed go to http://speedtest.net/ and it will choose the closest server for you. BTW, whatever you do, don't click on the robot icon that says "Start Scan" or MacKeeper below that. Only use the speed test in the middle that has the button BEGIN TEST on it. It will run a download speed test first and then an upload speed test. The download test will give a much faster response.

can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an icloud email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud.can any one help me about this.
It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked. This article explains:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password. This is an anti-theft measure. -
I have iPhone 4 with updated latest iOS And i am using FIND IPHONE application. But everytime when ever i login in it and serch for the device its shows the device but never give me the location"NO LOCATION AVAILABLE".It is already connected with WIFI and i tried all the stuffs that has been written in the manual. Plese give me the Proper suggetion about this issue..!!
If your router is not identified in a national database (don't recall who maintains it or where it is) then there is no location associated with it. Hence your device cannot be located. I suggest you try your test at some public wifi spot, like a bookstore or coffee shop. These places usually have a location associated with their wifi router.

I will studying in the UK for the next year and want to know if an unlocked iPhone 4S with a new sim card purchased in the UK will work as opposed to getting a new phone? There seem to be differeing opinions on this.
Iphone 4s only has one version so it should work world wide in any carrier..As long as it's and unlocked version ofcourse.

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I was given a 16Gb ipad mini retina with cellular but I need more storage. We do not have the receipt as it is a gift. I like to swap for a 64Gb unit and pay for the difference, how do I go about doing that? I have not open the packaging yet.
Hi
Thanks for that. Yes, the ipad was purchased recently. I called Apple last Friday and they ask for the receipt. I wonder if anyone were able to swap their ipad for a larger storage in the past at the apple store without a receipt? 16Gb is such a small storage. -
The iPAD has been plugged in,connected to wi-fi and locked for the past 12 hours now,how can I get into my iPAD everytime I hit the OK button it turns off? Any ideas on how to get past that?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.
I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps
