3.1 update? GOOD or BAD???

so how is the 3.1 update anyways??

I have had my iPhone 3GS for coming up 2 weeks.
I never used it on 3.0 because when I connected it to iTunes to activate it, it prompted me to update to 3.1.
The first time I charge it up I never let it run out completely (maybe 20 percent) and I found the battery wasn't has good has what it is now. I find that since I have let the battery completely run out till the iPhone powers off or until there is only 2 or 3 percent battery left, that now my battery life is MUCH better.
I never expected my 3GS to have a battery life has good as my previous bog standard phone. But I find that me personally with say 15 minutes worth of calls, 8-10 texts, 1 hour (maybe a bit more) of game playing, checking emails 4 times, 30 minutes worth of surfing, I can usually get 3 days on standby. Admittedly I'm not a heavy user, but considering what the 3GS is, i.e smartphone, then personally I am pleased with the battery life.
Like I mentioned earlier 'I never expected my 3GS to have a battery has good as my previous bog standard phone' because the 3GS will use a lot more power than my previous phone because of the much larger screen and the powerful processor that the 3GS has.
There are a lot of people who are having problems with 3.1 and poor battery life, but I am one of the lucky ones.
I had a thought yesterday that maybe the affected ones who are seen poor battery life since going to 3.1, could it not be that the batteries that are in the iPhone, are maybe made by a number of different manufacturers, and maybe some made by a certain manufacturer have this bug/problem with 3.1?

Rezound OTA update, good or bad?

Still no Rezound forum, huh?
Well, I noticed a decreased in overall performance in my device after the update, but it was still very usable and a great device, but disappointed in the decrease in download speeds, battery life and STILL seeing the issue with my time switching back and forth between Pacific and Mountain time...I believe the time zones will sync before that is fixed lol.
Anyway, so I was sent a replacement and activated it last night and noticed immediately it had the previous software on it, which is good, because the battery life and speeds seem to be where they once were after about 4 hours of use...but there is an issue with the ear piece, the speaker seems to be blown (static and muffling) so I had to pack it up and send it back for another. I activated the phone with the new software afterwards (within minutes and in the same area) and notice the downloads speeds were back down to about 2-4 down and topped out at 1 up (the replacement, both exceeded 10) I am in Phoenix,AZ where 4G is all over.
I am hoping the next replacement has not been flashed w/ the new update so I can ignore it if it happens to come up. I know its recommended by VZW that all phones have the latest software, but after seeing first hand what the update does to the speed and battery, is it really worth it? Could it be that my device was bad all along despite it working perfectly prior to the update? I did perform factory resets and kept 3rd party apps very minimal but no difference. Is this "Verizon Location Agent" really to blame for the battery life? I fear receiving the next replacement and it working fine, then the update comes along and ruins the phone again...I doubt that is enough ground to request another replacement.
What to do, what to do!

I've been lucky with my TBolt and Rezound. I haven't had all of the problems others have except for the network problem with the Bolt. Since I still have it, I've been tempted to root it just to experiment, but the Rezound has been so great that I just haven't been in a hurry to do it. My speeds with the Rezound after the update are about the same as before. They go up and down, depending on when I check it and what server I connect to. I'd love to get the 20's and 30's some report, but my best is about 16Mbps and this morning I'm getting 4 to 7Mbps.
I don't usually see that much difference in how fast it connects to web sites, maybe because I don't check the speed when I'm surfing, if it connects I'm happy. It also seems to slow down when I tether to my laptop, but I seldom check it then either. Having a stable connection that doesn't drop out and need to be restarted every 5 to 10 minutes is more important to me than what the speed is. Even at it's slowest, it's still faster than the non-existent WiFi we have at work.
Hope your next one works better. If it doesn't keep bugging them till you get one that does.

Lumia 822-Denim update, good or bad?

I downloaded the long awaited windows 8.1 to my lumia 822 this morning but found that it has taken away my ability to take, view, and send pictures. I'm guessing that this is a bug but I'm not sure. Has anyone else had better luck?Lu

I had the same issue. Along with some other oddities that showed up. I know that it is not what most people want to hear, but I ended up having to reset the phone back to factory and rebuilding it from the ground up. I did not let it restore any of my previous settings. (It may have been fine, but I didn't want to take the risk)
This is work, but remember you are loading a new OS onto a device that was out before the OS was so there may be some work and tweaking that needs to be done to make it work.

Not to update Goods receipt on process order in LIMS system

Dear all,
I am working on SAP-LIMS interface project.
Please help me out with the below requriement:
Release of process order (COR1) in SAP creates lot creation in LIMS (creates an inspection lot in QIWL table which is read by LIMS system to download data from SAP to LIMS).
When we do goods receipt (MB31) against the process order, currently it updates same inspection lot in QIWL table to send the same record for LIMS system again.
We have a requirement not to update on Goods Receipt to LIMS system.
Please let me know if there are any user-exits/BADIs for the same.
I know that goods receipt MB31 runs the FM MB_POST_DOCUMENT in background.
Please let me know if somebody has worked on this requirement.
P.S. - We need the functionality of updating goods receipt on purchase order in LIMS.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
If you post GR in Plant - A, then the stocks in the warehouse will reflect for Plant - A & not in Plant - B.
Although the warehouse is the same, it is linked to the combination of Plant & Storage location. You can check the warehouse stocks using LS26, just specify the warehouse number & material number.
But there is also a concept of planning plant & production plant, so Plant A can be where the planning takes place, while Plant B is where the actual production takes place. In this case, although you produce in Plant B, the GR will be done in Plant A.
Hope the above clarifies.
Regards,
Vivek

Is this good or bad in terms of battery life?

So I have a question, my usage is 1 hour, 11 minutes; standby is 13 hours, 29 minutes. This is since the last full charge on my iphone4s and now the battery is at 68%. Is this good or bad, and the thing is when I used certain apps like words with friends even for 2-3mins I actually noticed the battery life going down 2%, and I know that because I have the option for showing the battery percentage switched to on. It's frustating that I'm doing the simplest task like going through settings and the battery is draining so quickly. Does anyone have and suggestions about increasing the battery life?

The short battery life is an issue of iOS5 that should be fixed with the next updates. ( also hope that Apple would fix it fast)

your stats seem ok.. i've gotten it as high as 142 hours temporarily, when its discharging.. the battery time to die measurement is at best an estimate..
what were you running that you were drawing -1400 amps? thats a bit excessive...
i run a problem called IBatt2 it has a grading system which compares your battery to the median of the same type of system battery... it will also show you the essential data...
my battery with 45 cycles, gets a "C" grade on their system.

Placing a PDF file in an InDesign Doc and PDF again for a vendor- Good or Bad?

Current debate in the graphics department is
Is it good or bad to place a PDF (general Press Quality) into an InDesign document and then creating a new PDF file with print vendor settings from that document?
My thought is that you in some cases are double compressing, lower dpi images getting compressed, RGB color mode images okay on layout but now are converted to CMYK and shift in the PDF.
Are there other issues and if so what are they.
Also is there an easy way to check ppi, color mode and compression of an acrobat PDF? I mean other than doing a preflight and searching into each image folder twenty levels deep. FlightCheck and Enfocus are not options,
too many vendors and not enough time.
Thank you all in advance for your words of wisdom.

Dov, I just got off the phone with a trusted professional in the Prepress field at a quite reputable print house, and he said "Dov is the guru of PDFs, ask him this...Will the InDesign CS3 preflight see the characteristics of a PDF (color mode, dpi(ppi), compression) if the original placed PDF is created as a pdf .X4 (1.7)? Ask him also if you were to use one form of compression (say lossless) in the original PDF, and then another form(say lossy) in the vendor PDF would it hold both or convert the first PDF compression to the second form?"
Any other responses are also welcomed.

HT2105 When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it

When you get a apple receipt for itunes songs and you paid with a itunes gift card do they charge you or give you store credit what's store credit is it good or bad or does it charge you if you have a free account with no credit cards at all is it bad?

iTunes credits are, for example, if you download a song from the store and it's found to be corrupt - if the track can't be fixed then iTunes support will tend to give you a song credit for a free download.
When you purchase music from the store then any credits that you have will be used first, then any balance that you have (e.g. from iTunes gift cards or allowances), and any remaining amount will be taken from your credit card.

Goods and Bads with the 6110 Navigator

Hi
New user of this forum and a proud owner of a Nokia 6110 Navigator. I had the 6280 but after 2 SW upgrades and still problem with it, I gave up.
First impression of the 6110 is good, but I found a couple of small things that ”irritates” me.
1 – The timer function when you write “0200” and press options instead of green (call) button.
2 – The original headset is too cheap to be an expensive phone like this, should be more like Koss “plug-in-your-ear” kind of headphones, instead of the small “put-close-to-your-ear” thing that is included.
Also, the straight up cable from the top of the phone is no good. Makes the phone lie bad in the pocket. I also guessing that this cable is going to snap after a while. Why not a 90 degree “adapter” or something?
3 – When you sending an SMS, on my 6280 you could choose “last used number” or something like that, now you have to choose name, and then number, and then OK to go back to the SMS.
Well.. that’s it so far. Anyone else have goods and bads about this phone ?
mvh / regards
Timmy

hi im havin same issues!!
i went from 6280 to 6110 after i smashed it
1.first off i didnt kno of the timer option...good bcoz it was annoyin not havin a stopwatch

5. on my 6280, i had a shortcut menu as mi left select button, cant do this now
6. power button is end call button, lotsa accidental turn offs
7. cant turn off start up tone
oh well i still like it

What exactly are the updates good for on an ipod

I ask because mine is windows format, and im having trouble transferring all the metadata off my ipod with senuti to a back up so that i can reformat the ipod to mac and then sync in my senuti backed up library. I was wondering if anyone knows what exactly are the updates that you get. my ipod is 1.2 5thgen.
If i were to have the latest update would i be able to see album cover art view when the ipod is plugged into itunes? I noticed that i can see that view in library mode but not in ipod mode. (my pod isnt synced)...
so what are these updates good for?

hey thanks for your reply.
I do have it set to manual and i can see the art on the ipod by itself, but even with manual transfer itunes wont let me view the artwork modes unless i am playing off my computers library (which doesn't have the songs on my ipod on it). I called apple earlier today and some tech support guy claimed that itunes does not support this feature. Is this correct? can anyone out there see artwork modes on an unsynced ipod through itunes?

What is a good download broadband speed. Mine is 4.17mb/s. Is that good or bad?

What is a good download speed. Mine is 4.17mb/s is this good or bad?

It's average. Do you have cable or DSL? I'm moving into an apartment that has cable speeds of up to 20 megabits per second. Cable speeds do vary and, at the low end, run around 5 megabits per second.
So - cable or DSL. If cable, call your local ISP and see if they have a package with higher Internet speeds.
