4Gear and the iphone4: docking problem

iPhone 4 fits perfectly into original iPhone dock.
as long as you don't use a 4Gear case... I bought the apple universal dock this week, after reading the fitting perfectly theory... I gave away my existing universal dock with the 3G I sold, darn it...
So this morning, new universal apple dock arrives, and it again does not fit with the 4Gear case on it...
Sadly enough, the company 4Gear is not going to adapt their own docks or radio's or whatever stuff they have to fit in the phones to their own case, as it is not worth the money... That is the answer i got from a 4Gear ingeneer.
Dudes, some computer companies really p* me off...
The only way to use my phone on docks is to get it out of the case...
I do not understand that so few companies design docks with cases in mind...
The 4Gear case takes off 5mm from the plug, so it can't connect deep enough.
We now have a Bose, radio, Gear4 dock, all not working unless I take phone out of the case or use the zagg invisible shield, which does not add anything to the phone itself.
I do feel cheated though as I really like my phone in the 4gear case... Too bad the cutout in the bottom is too small for any cable but the 30 pin apple cable... It's problematic for car chargers as well, again, with the case... It's hard to choose between protection for the phone or working with devices in the house... I do not want to take out the phone out of the case every time I swap home for car or office... Darn, darn, darn...
Whoever builds a universal dock for phones with cases (is it really that hard? Come on...) will become rich over night...

I was hoping that would be the case in CT here, I called a few AT&T stores but they laughed and said there was a long line this morning, sold out in 10 minutes, and the afternoon stock is promised to the people that didn't get any this morning. I guess it's the same as with Best Buy, some areas must have gotten a lot more than others.

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

Is anyone having problems with the battery drains quickly and the iphone4 heats up in use and in charging after upgrading to 5.1.1?

I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
Good luck

It appears that the update made the iPd incompatible with the Sony dock. Try contacting Sony. Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

A brand new W540 and the Ultra Dock humms, black out external screen, won't recognize mouse and some

Just received a W540 and an Ultra Dock. Here is my first impressions.
During setup ... tried to connect my speakers directly onto the laptop.... HUMMMMM! (really loud humming sound, until Windows loads ...sounds like a short somewhere ...). Ok, obviously sound is not the main focus of W540.
After a little while... boink! ... and the external screen goes black accompanied with the "Windows detected something disconnect"-sound. No matter what I clicked on the keyboard, or how much a moved the mouse, the external screen wouldn't turn on again. I had to flip up the screen on the laptop, and tada, Windows reported that something connected again, and the external screen turned on again. Turns out that I need to keep the laptop screen open at all times now, and now and then both screens disconnect and connect again. Not completely a showstopper, but somewhat annoying. Ok, how to fix - enter "lenovo ultra dock black screen" in Google and see that a bunch of people have experienced the same thing. After some reading, I found this official support page "LENOVO THINKPAD PRO DOCK AND THINKPAD ULTRA DOCK ARE CAUSING DISPLAY ISSUES ON EXTERNAL MONITORS" (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081248). Seems to fit my situation perfectly. Just download the fwdphb03.exe program and follow the instructions. But does fwdphb03.exe even start?!? NO!
Just a brief flicker and no application nor instructions to follow. In addition, I am Administrator on my machine. Please make applications that at least attempt to work....
I have an Aten mouse and keyboard switch (KVM) (CS-1784 to be precise), which have been working seamlessly for years on all other machines I have (VMWare images with different Windows versions, Raspberry Pi and Mac). Connecting the KVM with it's mouse and keyboard renders a working keyboard and a dead mouse (remember - switching to one of the other machines renders working keyboard and mouse instantly).... <rant on>pheeew, starting to get a bad feeling here. OBVIOUSLY we have a lot of cool hardware like USB 3 and DisplayPort and what not, but WHAT DOES THAT MATTER, when the Lenovo folks can't program this stuff properly?</rant off>
The W540 comes with a lot of Lenovo software. Much of it is really good and useful. But what happened when you try to log in to Windows? For some reason Lenovo want to inform you that the Num Lock is on when you see the standard login screen. The message something like "Num Lock is on - your password may be entered incorrectly". All in some black background, covering OVER the login field in Windows !!!! Hey, the laptop has a numeric keyboard, I don't need this message. Luckily others again have experience the same thing. At this page http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/New-T540p-numlock-warning-at-login/td-p/142... I get the tip that I need to rename the tpnumlk.exe to something else. Gone was the stupid message.
My advice to Lenovo - don't include stuff that harvest a lot of complaints and that obviously is going to annoy your customers. Even if the machine was one with a small keyboard and no separate numeric keyboard, I would NEVER EVER want to have some ugly black box covering over the standard login field… I can’t even imagine that the developer of this tool, use it (nor like it)! That is exactly why bloatware gets its reputation.
I would of course understand all this if I were talking about cheap machines and some wacko docking station. But I am not.... This is state-of-the-art, 2014, expensive-style laptop from the same manufacturer.
PS! At the end of this session, Lenovo tells me that there is a problem with the powersystem, and that it want to reduce power to sustainable levels....

can you connect the device in _*recovery mode*_ ?

Windows 10 and Thinkpad Pro Dock problems

Hello, I just upgrade to Windows 10, I did a clean install and everything seems to work fine, but it doesn't. I have my T450s on a Thinkpad Pro Dock 90w, with two TV's plugged in on the dock: one TV goes on the HDMI port, and the other one on the Display Port one. The problem: windows 10 is not able to output any audio from any of these ports. Actually windows does not see any possible audio coming out of any of these two ports. If use the Mini-Display Port on the left side of the laptop, then Windows quickly finds the audio and shows it on the "Playback devices" list, but pluging any of the TV's on the rear ports of the dock, the system only finds a way to display video, but no audio at all.Btw, this very same system was working perfectly on Windows 7. Has anyone noted this? Is there any firmware update coming up to solve this problem? This is a big problem for some of us... thanks a lot!! Ivan.

Thank you Skoop for your answer!
Unfortunately no - "Power on with AC attach" is disabled.
I didn't have much time today, but next thing I'll try is to update the BIOS and try another OS (eg a Linux live distro).
I'll report on the results!
BTW I found another thread with exactly the same symptoms but unrelated to the Docking station:

Service module placement and the L2 adjacency problem

I'd be very interested to hear others opinions on this. You have a datacenter environment with L2 boundaries at end of row aggregators, then L3 back to the core and edge. You have 6500 service module switches hanging off the core housing ACE and FWSM modules. You want to offer firewalling and load-balancing services to servers around the datacenter.
What is the current best practice ways of resolving the L2 adjacency requirement that the firewalling and load-balancing services impose? L2TPv3? EoMPLS? Any relevant advice, deployment examples, whitepapers etc would be much appreciated!
Thanks for any replies,
George

George
You could i suppose look to use L2TPv3 if your switches support it or EoMPLS but to my mind this is actually using a band aid to fix a problem that shouldn't be there.
We too struggled in our data centres with this setup but remember you only need L2 adjacency if you are running the FWSM in transparent mode or the ACE in bridged mode.
If you are then the cleanest solutions are either
1) redesign core connections to L2
2) deploy 6500 switches in the distribution layer. I say distribution layer because it's not clear from your description what your topology actually is but i'm assuming L2 access to distro and then L3 distro to core and the core switches are the 6500 switches.
Personally i always use the routed L3 approach where possible for fast failover and no STP and in the campus environment it works really well.
However L3 from the access-layer to the distro in the data centre is very limiting and you often come across problems such as the one you are facing.
Now again it does depend on your topology but assuming the issue is your core is L3 connected and you need L2 adjacency with your distro to offer servers i would look to deploy 6500 switches in the distro layer with the service modules in them.
If i have misunderstood please come back with more details.

I got hacked and the 'Report a Problem' isn't working. Who can I contact about the purchase I didn't make?

There is a purchase on my iTunes account made yesterday. I DID NOT make this purchase, but the 'Report a Problem' feature is not working. I am following the directions from the Help section accurately. When I logged in though, it said I needed to change my password because of suspicious activity. Who can I contact?

Hello,
I woke up today around 9:30 am UK Time, checked my emails on my phone and then started playing "Talking Ginger" kids game because of one of the offers, around 10:00 I noticed an email alert on top of my iphone screen about itunes receipt.
When I opened this, it was about "Kids Song Collection" purchase reciept for £1:49.
I was shocked because first of all my 3 years old daughter is sleeping, secondly I have security settings configured in iphone with a complex password to purchase and she does not know that password and thirdly I am using the phone and I know I didn't even open App Store or that app so how come this has happened. I did a search on google about how to report and tried to follow the process through itunes but every time I click on "report a problem in itunes" this opens a new apple page in firefox "http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/"
Whilst further browsing Purchase History in itunes I also noticed another purchase from yesterday about "FireWorks Arcade" and this was unbelieveable because I didn't even receive any receipt yesterday about that purchase and again I am the only one who can make purchases due to the complex password known only to myself.
I am not sure what is going on here, but clearly as per today's incident it seems that apple is loosing their control.
Please advise what can be done here.

IOS 5 and the keynote remote problems.

After updating to IOS5, the keynote remote on my iPod touch (4 gen) does link with keynote on iPad 2. Can only link over wifi. The Bluetooth link worked perfectly before update. I have tried all options I can think of, such as hard restart, restore on both devices. Can someone help.

I reported the problem on itunes as scubidoobie suggested. The reply I received was not helpful at all. They recommeded consulting the Apple support page for keynote remote, which is where I started in the first place. I agree that we should all bombard Apple via itunes about this problem (see scubidoobie's reply) and get them to fix it.
I found a workaround on another posting, which is clumsy but worked for me. It may be a solution until Apple updates the remote. The idea is to use another app that can link the 2 devices by bluetooth.
1. Get Pic transfer lite (free app) and install on both ipad and iphone (or ipod touch).
2. Activate bluetooth on both devices.
3. Launch keynote on one device and the remote on the other device.
4. Launch pic transfer on both devices and follow the prompts to sync bluetooth
5. Now double push the home button on both devices to pull up the multi-tasking bar
6. Open keynote and keynote remote on the relevant devices.
5. In keynote, go to settings, advanced, remote. You should now be able to link the remote - on the device running the remote, you may need to hit settings and then 'new keynote link'.

80gig ipod and the old Dock Connector

Is it me or does the new ipod not work anymore with the old Dock (the one without remote) it fits but no connection possible. If i use the same cable directy it works... and it worked with my 60gig iPod..
Any experiences or tips?
thanks...

Will work, both charge and sync if you use the USB cable that came with the iPod.

Is the iPhone4 dock line out dif from iPods?

My SendStation dock connector, which works on iPods, exhibits no audio from the line out connector
when connected to my new iPhone4.
Just in case, I made sure that the USB connector is also connected.
Still no audio.
Headphone connector works.
Google does show a few people having very low line out audio level problem.
No answers yet.
I'm hoping it's a setting.
Thanks.

When I bought my first iPod (a 40GB hard drive based model) it came wth a dock. have used that dock over the years as I upgraded to a 5th Gen iPod, then a first gen iPod Touch, an iPhone 3G, a 3rd Gen iPod Touch, and now an iPhone 4. All my devices seem to work about the same in that very old dock. Only the hard drive based devices fit it properly, but the other devices stll plug n (with plenty of free space around them) and play just fine.
Based on my experiences, I wold guess that it's either your Sendstation or your iPhone that is the problem but based on what you provide it is hard to determine whch. If ou have any friends with iPhone 4's you could ask them to try their phones in your dock. If theirs works fine, it is probably your Phone, otherwise if theirs have problems too I would suspect you have a faulty dock.

HT3964 For the past several months my MacBook Pro has been shutting down. I get horrible video with marks and striations acress the laptop screen and an additional monitor and the weird video problems until the multilingual notice comes up saying to shut

I used two monitors, and several months ago the MacBook Pro started crashing frequently. It seems like it might be overheating. Sometimes the disks seems to race. I leave the computer on most of the time and it sleeps when I am away, but when I come back in the morning it will have colored striations across both screens, and soon the multilingual announcement comes up that I have to press and hold down the power key.
Also, when using a progam like Skype video, the video goes insane frequently, with Skype windows freezing, video freezing, Skype window cutting in half, and eventually the computer crashing.
It seems to be a video problem.
What do I do?

I would take some screen shots of the anomalies and take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar. I you cannot reproduce the display problems, the screen shots will at least give them a start point for an analysis.
Ciao.

Captivate 4, interaction SWF using XML and the Reviewer tool Problem

Hello everyone!
I am an advanced AS3er and am only months old working with Captivate 4. I've found some cool ways to use Captivate and incorporating swfs that use CSS and XML for their dynamic content builder and interactivity as well. However, I've run into a problem:
The Reviewer tool will NOT display my swf interactions that use XML, however when published as a course, I can see them perfectly fine (once I move over my css and xml folders after publishing)
Has anyone found a work around for this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Not sure if you want to control the audio used in Captivate of if you want to control you own audio form files loaded externally. If you try to control the audio associated with captivate, believe me it will be a mess. I tried it once and hit so many hurdles that I gave up. The Captivate framework is not meant at all for extending and adding functionality. I had to to create proxy classes that allowed me to gain access to internal variable but even then my control over audio streams was incomplete. Captivate completely lacks an eventing framework!
On an other subject, can you tell me how you got the swf to use the CSS and XML files? Do you have to manually copy them to a folder? Which folder?
Thanks,
Yves

2.0.1 and the Logo screen problem

Does anyone who downloaded the update still have any issues with their phone getting stuck on the logo screen. This seems to be a large problem, and I am curious if this update fixes this issue.

I have not gotten the permanent logo screen since 2.01 (and had it and restored 5 times with 2.0), but now my wifi is permanently grayed out (even after resetting network settings in general settings and restoring yet again). So, while the phone thankfully works, it's of considerably less use to me without wifi (esp. since I have original iPhone).

The iphone4S quality problems

Why my iphone4S quality so poor? Buy a new Department leakage serious... In a cellular data can not be normally open, in a HOME key loosening serious.... Please explain why there is so much difference in quality! Thank you！

i have same problem too,.. for smbclient, i downgrade to version 3.4. But you have to downgrade gvfs too, It will make more complicated problem . So i make simple script that use smbfs to mount from some directory and show in nautilus. my script just like this
sudo mkdir /mnt/"$1"
sudo mount //"$1"/"$2" /mnt/"$1" -o password
nautilus /mnt/"$1"
and for umount you just use
umount /mnt/*
