5310 - IS IT JUST TOO THIN?

Hello All,
Newbie post here, so be gentle!
I bought a unlocked/any network 5310 recently just so I could put my work mobile SIM in it so I could have more features - as work just give you very basic handset.
However after just 30 days the screen cracked! I got a great big 'So what!' from Carphone **bleep**, as I did not have specific insurance and they said that no screens are covered by manufacturers warranty.
Is that right? This seems very poor service and they are just washing their hands of it.
Having looked at the unit now I wonder if design has gone too far, and that it wont be up to the job of everyday use as it is so thin. It was not dropped or banged, I just took it out of my pocket to use it and discovered the display was mush!
Has anyone else experienced this?
I intend to just fix it myself using the various suppliers on the internet as I refuse to pay CW to repair it.
However, I am not very confident that this wont happen again. :-(

sscreens are covered if faulty,cracked screens are not,nokia can tell the difference ,they are replaceable but will void warranty on phone
If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Photos stretched (everyone is too thin, on the widescreen)

    Hello all.
    just started playing with the AppleTV. Nice system.
    I'm disappointed with the photo handling. It seems everyone is slightly too thin. I'd expect that if I was using a regular 4:3 screen, but not on this 16:9 computer monitor.
    I'll look into it more and see what I can find (maybe something wrong in my monitor setup? no idea). If you have any ideas please let me know.
    Greg

    Widescreen computer monitors normally have 16:10 aspect ratio, rather than 16:9 found on widescreen TVs. This explains why images that look right on a widescreen TV will look too 'thin' on a computer monitor - because the pixels are about 10% narrower on the computer monitor. I don't know why monitors and TVs are designed differently in this respect - it's not very helpful! I can't change the aspect ratio on my computer monitor - perhaps you'll have more luck with yours.

  • Font of time on locked screen is way too thin (iOS 7)

    i'm new here, dont know if apple is reading complaints here, so just in case...
    the font, especially for the clock/time is way too thin. really makes my eyes follow that thin thread, to grasp the whole digit. It's ridiculous, cant believe Apple doesnt notice how user-unfriendliy this is. Okay, i've got a pretty bright background picture. that preinstalled wave...

    Have you tried playing around with the adjustments under Accessability?
    I think the default seeting are bad. After playing around with them on mine I found it was better.

  • Is Mountain Lion just too much for my MAC?

    I was running Snow Leopard and it was great everything ran smooth and everything. I needed to upgrade to iMovie 11 which I couldnt due unless I upgraded to Mountain Lion.
    Now my computer just runs sluggish. Everything lags now, from internet browsing to itunes to everything. Ever since I upgraded its been like a downgrade.
    My mac is a early 2008 model macbook pro. Is Mountain Lion just too much for my computer or is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • After I updated my MacbookPro with a Maverick, my iphoto cannot be used anymore.  Is there a way to send my old iphoto albums to icloud or is it just too late?

    I updated my Mac with a Maverick, but my iphoto cannot be used any more  Is there a way to send my old iphoto albums to icloud or is it just too late? My iphoto icon is in my dock, but it's crossed out, and won't operate.

    Hi Barry! 
    I owe you a proper Thank you! You were right about me needing to update my software. I have been pretty clueless about many of the computer applications I've heard of, but I've learned a bit by doing what you suggested.  I was able to "fix" my iphoto and a I got a few other nice changes after updating the 3 free updates that were available to me.  Thanks so much! - One thing that was so wonderful about getting my iphoto "back" was being able to  share my photos with my Dad for this weekend-during his 88th birthday! 
    I'm glad I found you in our "community".  Hopefully,  I can learn enough to help others too, eventually.
    All the best to you,
    Sally

  • Fuzzy, pixelated, too thin or too bold fonts

    I have this weird problem with Firefox. Some fonts seems to be too thin/bold, and a little fuzzy and pixelated.
    This is especially for fonts of some links. For example, results on trovaprezzi.it. In this case it looks a little too bold as you can see here http://img.techpowerup.org/140723/gross.jpg
    I have similar problem also with the scroll bar when you right-click on a Firefox window.
    This is the Firefox scroll bar http://i59.tinypic.com/rm74pj.jpg
    This is the Windows 7 scroll bar http://i62.tinypic.com/294nxu9.jpg
    If you look very close, can see that the Firefox one seems to be more "thin"
    I tried with the gfx.direct2d.disabled on true, but then the font of Bookmarks toolbar and other bars, looks weird and very fuzzy if you don't use defaul skin.

    The first one is this site? http://www.trovaprezzi.it/prezzo_schede-grafiche_gtx_780_ti.aspx
    That looks smoother to me, also on Windows 7 64-bit. (Screen shot attached)
    Do you have ClearType fully enabled at the Windows system level? This article might be helpful: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/make-text-easier-read-cleartype#1TC=windows-7

  • Latest Leopard Update just too large

    The latest Leopard update is over 500 MB. This is just too large for those of us who connect via satellite. The update is so large that it throws me into Fair Access restrictions. In addition it doesn't install. It gets hung up for hours in "Configuring Software"
    It must be broken up into smaller pieces. There is just no excuse for an update being so large.
    Someone from Apple needs t read this forum and fix this. If the update contains something critical for an application or system stability, then I am hosed.

    This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Mac OS updates.
    Try your local library or nearest apple authorized service provider to get the update.

  • The volume is just too **** loud! :)

    When I hook up my iMac to the normal speaker system, it's all good, I turn the volume way up in Leopard, and then proceed to 'down-tune' it with the speaker's own volume knob.
    But there are times the rest of the house is still asleep, and I use the headphones that came with my iPod. The problem is, I can't turn the volume down far enough. 0 'blocks' of volume (in Leopard) is completely muted, and 1 'block' is already too loud. Of course, some applications have their own volume control (iTunes, Quicktime, etc), so I can turn it down there, but that does not control the volume of the system's own sounds (The "Ding"-download-is-done-sound for instance).
    Is there a way to turn the volume down in the system (like, 0.5 'block' would be ideal) without using headphones with a built-in volume control? (for one, I don't own one of them, and secondly, they usually destroy sound quality)
    Right now, I kinda feel like Huey Lewis in Back to the Future. "It's just too **** loud".

    Sorry but I don't understand which "block" you are talking about. Volume adjustment is continuous rather than discrete. If you do it in System preferences->sound, the volume bar is nice and long so it shouldn't be hard to find a good level.

    Ah! I think, you mean the volume button on the keyboard. Just do it in system preferences or using the volume bar in the menu.

  • Voice Track - Needs "Low End" or sounds too "thin"

    I have created a voice demo tape for a job using Garage Band and was told by a professional that it's very good except that I need to add some "low-end" (20mghz) - that it sounds too thin... it may be my microphone (using the SnowBall) or the fact that I do not have a professional studio.
    Can I use some kind of effect or tool in Garage Band to correct this? I am not an expert at garage band but use to mix music and voice for video work.
    Message was edited by: ezvoice

    What is "20mghz"?? Probably they want some boost in the low frequencies - go to the info pane of your track (cmd-i), click the Edit tab and play with the VisualEQ. Either by selecting a preset (like "Bass Boost") or by manually editing the EQ - it's pretty straightforward.

  • Just too many problems, iMovie, iDVD

    After working with the same project for the past 2 weeks and getting nowhere, I finally gave up in total frustration and deleted the entire project, one piece at a time. I spent the last hour today starting at, 10:45 Am Alaska time and tracked down every piece of my project, iMovie and iDVD and deleted the whole shebang. Problems kept happening over and over and each time, were getting worse than the last time.
    This time, iDVD froze up. It did it last night and again today. After waiting for 9 hours over night, and again 5 hours today for it to finish encoding and to finally burn the project, I ended up doing a "force quit", because iDVD wasn't responding at all. It was highlighted in red on force quit, with the words, ("iDVD not responding") in parenthesis. This told me that the program was locked and would not be able to complete the assigned project, so I force quitted the project and scrapped the entire thing.
    Now I'm forced to make another decision. Do I go on and re-enter the video into my computer and start over? Or, do I just say forget it and trash the entire idea of producing an DVD from my video footage all together? I'm ****** off and frustrated at how poorly this new and expensive program is not operating like it was designed and supposed to do. Why did I spend all that money, for a program that doesn't work the way it was designed to? Is anyone else feeling the way I do right now?

    Your not alone. I just spent over a week trying to
    burn a project. I have a new iMac and the latest
    iLife.....thought I'd be set for awhile however while
    trying many different possible solutions for my
    problem have spent the last week dancing around
    iMovie bugs, iDVD bugs and Quicktime bugs forcing me
    to do "workarounds" which take extra time again. I
    like alot of things about Apple however people pay
    for a workable product and iLife should not cause
    people this much pain. I've used software that is 98%
    bug-free so I know it can be done but Apple does'nt
    seem to be willing to test its software thouroughly
    enough on a wide variety of systems and different
    circumstances to eliminate the bugs....and so we
    ....its faithful followers end up being its
    "bug-testers". Perhaps it also has to do with the
    desire to "pump-out" new versions every 9-16 months
    however I would much prefer to wait longer and even
    pay reasonably more for a new version that worked
    properly. I want a company and software that is
    usable, reliable and responsive to its customers.
    This is the kind of company I'd be willing to be
    faithful to. I've noticed that Apple has a tendency
    to either be non-responsive alot of the time to
    problems brought up in these forums or to deny that
    problems exist. (It's hubris).Thats why sometimes a
    new version of iMovie will carry over some bugs from
    a previous version. Of course the right way to handle
    this would be to acknowledge the problems , then do
    everything you can to make sure they dont come up
    again.After doing some testing myself between iMovie
    2 and iMovie 5......I find iMovie 2 to still be the
    fastest and most reliable version however it does"nt
    have the "extras" that version 5 has. Instead of
    building on the firm foundation of iM2 ....the
    foundation was ripped up and we got the disasterous
    iMovie 3.(To be fair...iM4 and 5 are at least better
    than 3). When phoning Apple Support for assistance
    with my latest problem .......my "helper" was trying
    to tell me that my Mac was"nt capable of burning a
    DVD over 1 hour . I ended up having to read some
    passages out of the "Missing Manual" to convince him
    otherwise. Apple often tends to say that the people
    in these forums only represent a small percentage of
    all its users ....tending to dismiss the
    problems.......however its also true that only a
    fraction of the people having problems come to these
    forums for help. Alot more struggle on their
    own....ask other people.....or just give up and move
    on to some other software that works.As I said
    earlier...I'm generally a fan of Apple.....but they
    really should wake up and test their products
    thouroughly before releasing. I have Final Cut
    Express but I like the beauty in the simplicity and
    ease of use of iLife. iLife is a great
    concept............if only it worked properly.
    Having said my say.......all I can suggest is that
    if you persist and keep trying different possible
    solutions found in this forum, theres a good chance
    you'll eventually work it out (as I did). Only you
    know if its worth the effort. Good luck.
    Thanks Mr. Thompson, for your input. I agree completely with many of the things you said. I too, am a fan of Apple products, the computers especially. But that entheusiasm I once had about them has diminished considerably in light of the problems that seem to be ongoing. I finally gave up completely on the project that I was trying to edit, and I deleted the whole project. Right now I'm trying to decide if it will be worth the effort and time, to reenter my video and try again. I commend you for your diligence and willingness to keep trying and thank you for encouraging me to keep trying, but for now I'll take a break and rest on it before I decide what to do next.

  • TS4002 Scrolling in iCloud e-mail is just too fast. How can I slow it down?

    That small e-mail scrolling bar just moves too far too fast. I want to be able to view my e-mails a few at a time then move on to the next few. As it stands now, it skips way ahead with the slightest touch. There are no arrow heads top and bottom to control the movement. How can I control the scrolling??

    Aha! Sussed it!
    Click 'Follow Tempo' in the inspector on each track. This activates the Transposition function in the inspector. I've reduced the tempo by 20bpm and set Transposition to -2 on each track.
    Hey presto, no longer do me and my mates sound like we had been drinking way too much caffeine two decades ago!

  • Grid lines and guide lines are too thin and not visible (Retina display)

    How do I increase the "thickness" of them? I have no other idea how to make them more visible. They are just not visible enough.
    I have tried every color. They are so thin with the settings I'm using for the display (I can't change the settings to smaller resolution)
    On the solid color they are ok, but besides that... almost useless (and the grid, and the guides).

    I asked about your Photoshop version to make sure it would have Retina display support.  I use Windows with a 30inch 1920x1200 main display, but just tried the Photoshop 200% UI feature, and while it made the Photoshop UI nice and chunky, Guides were still just one pixel wide.  So AFAICT the only workaround is to change the guide colour.
    If it is a big problem, start a thread on Photoshop feedback site, or search the existing threads to see what has already been said about guides.

  • URL iView with KM Content not shown in Page - just a "thin line"

    Hi,
    I just created two URL-iViews which point to documents in the Knowledge Management Repository.
    Content Admin --> Preview --> Works out --> Hooray!
    I created two pages for the corresponding iView and deltalinked the iViews in. At this point I want to add I'm not doing this the first time, I have a few dozen KM-Pages here and they all work and are all set up with the exact same properties.
    Content Admin --> Preview --> and THIS is what happens:
    http://www10.pic-upload.de/20.02.12/xiswewmyirk.jpg
    There's just some kind of thin line showing. I cleared the portal cache and looked for anything unusual in the NWA monitoring traces, but didn't find anything. I didn't find anything related on the forums either, probably because I don't really know what search terms to use for this strange occurence...
    Does anyone have a hinch what could be the cause for this paranormal activity?...
    Cheers, Lukas

    Yes. You are correct. Shame on me..
    The pages were configured correctly at FULL but one particular iView was set to AUTOMATIC so although the page was set to full display, the iview in behind was defaulting to automatic, thus this strange behaviour.
    Thanks Meera!
    Cheers, Lukas

  • Charges are just too high.

    My bill is absolutely too high. I have 2 TV's w/2 boxes & 1 laptop using wifi. I am going to have to call Comcast today & drop the cable TV service. I want to keep the internet. 75 years old w/pancreatic cancer. Medical bills coming out of my ears. Can't afford this & do not understand why you are charging so much. I love the service just can't afford it. Wonder how a lot of people do? Always I am quoted a certain $ amount & it creeps up & up! Thanks 

    This is the first time I have complained about my charges. Received response from Comcast quoting a significant savings. I hope they hold true to what they quoted. I am sorry you didn't have good luck with what you were told. Doesn't sound good at all. I appreciate their offering to do this & really hope they stick to what was quoted. If not, I will have to go elsewhere. Thanks for your response.Thomaspetrone wrote:
    I have tried 3 times, to update my account to get a decent plan from Xfinity and have not worked out as expected or explained.
    What I have noticed is that each time I am verbally promised an Xfinity package of a certain price, I am then charged a significant amount above that quoted price. hardware or channels which were promised as part of the package price are then charged additional fees.
    This is either fraudulent or poor training on customer service to misrepresent their capabilities.
    I would appreciate an honest quote and an immediate change of my fees so that I am not paying significantly more. If Xfinity cannot put in writing a cable and Internet package with AT LEAST equivalent, or higher, capabilities than what I previously was paying for, then I will gladly persued other television and Internet providers. I know it's a pain to change, but if you want better service a prices, sometimes you have to go elsewhere.
    I am tired of the multiple broken promises and run around that I have received in the last 2 months and would appreciate an honest accurate statement in writing. 

  • Need a lot of custom JComponents, but Java just too 'slow', other Solution?

    Hi folks,
    first of all i'll try to explain my problem (although my english is quite bad)
    We're programming a tool for visualising graph algorithms (df search, strong connected components, transitive reduction etc.) For that, we got a drawing area (derived from JLayeredPane) which contains the Nodes and the Edges of a graph (for all that don't know what a graphs is, just imagine these nodes as numbered circles, and the edges as directed lines from one node to another).
    Both parts (Nodes and Edges) are derived from JComponent, because a) need MouseEvents on these Components and b) we need the ability to add them to a container (like JLayeredPane)
    An absolute requirement is that you can directly click on the edges (to mark them, or delete them etc)
    Another point which needs to be mentioned, the edges maintain a (invisible) polygon which lies around their line, this polygon is sensitive for mouseEvents.
    Now there are two main problems:
    * all these edges have (due to JComponent) (possibly) huge invisible rectangles (the only thing that really matters is the line from one corner of this rect. to the other) ...so if i got lets say a graph with 10.000 edges, there are a lot of edges that overlap (nearly 10.000 :) ) ... but only the Edge-object on top receives the MouseEvent (but perhaps the user wanted to cklick a edge that lies below the top-edge!) .. at the moment, the program looks at all edges below that which received the MouseEvent and checks wether the 'mouse'click' hits a polygon, If it does, the top edge dispatches the MouseEvent to that edge. (furthermore, due to the depth-order in a Layer of a JLayeredPane, we only need to look at all edges that are really below the egde that received the mouseEvent)
    This all works great for 'small' numbers of edges (approximately 1000-2000) but with a rising number of edges this attempt gets slower and slower (it takes 1-3 seconds to evaluate a single mouseclick on a Sun Ultra 5/333)
    * the bigger problem is, that if i got 10k+ JComponents in a Container Java gets really slow, just adding these 10k JComps. (to the JLayeredPane) takes some minutes?! Furthermore java consumes up to 200+ MB main memory in this situation.
    One solution we are currently thinking about is to implement these edges as 'pure graphics'-objects (for example the Container just draws all edges).. this probably solves problem # 2 but # 1 gets even worse (no depth-order, some more coordinates hassle)
    So, i hope someone can give me a hint for this problem or someone has had a similar problem before and has a good solution? (if the problem isnt clear, just ask)

    I worked on an application once that had a similar structure as yours, but we were only scaling up to about 1000-2000 components. The problem that we identified (and that you have, no doubt, also identified) is that you are searching all of the child components on every hit test/overlap test. What we did was to subdivide out outermost container so that it had a couple of dozen children, each of which then parented some of the original child components: this cut our search space for every hit test dramatically. We had the advantage of having collections of child componenents that we knew would not overlap so our first level containers did not overlap -- you may need your first level containers to overlap, but even with this, you'll still be able to much more quickly identify components in the immediate region that should be checked individuall.

Maybe you are looking for
