845PE FIR fans some observations

Hi
May may be of interest. After failing to get PCalert4 to display the CPU and Sys fan speeds as shown correctly in the BIOS I tried a different program called Speedfan 4.07 free from tucows
This also showed the CPU and Sys fans as zero until I changed the 2 fan multipliers from 2 to 64 after which the fans speed agreed with the bios.
I then tried PC-alert4 which then showd the fans as running at over 8000rpm - very puzzling -
Anyone any thoughts on how Speedfan and PCalert can interact in this way.
Another interesting point is Speedfan shows 3 temps (19degC, 33degC and 48degC) rather than PCalerts 2 temps CPU and sys)
Sticking with speedfan for now as this apears to workeven though fuzzy logic now shows the cPU fan at an incredable 37,000rpm and I wonder if I can make Speedfans builtin fan speed varing system work.

I have similar problem - only 1 fan, and not the other 2, show up on PC Alert IV. PC Alert III used to work O.K. Now when I install III, it doesn't work either, and has a different screen format (doesn't look the same as PC Alert IV). Anyone ever solve this problem? Anyone have an older/different version of PC Alert III than what is currently on the MSI web site, that they can send me? I'll just use the older version if I can get it, if that is the one that works. (I wonder if updating the BIOS screwed it up.)

845pe FIr CPU fans

Hi
Just a thought - With all the reported problems with the temp/ fan speed system on this board I read about does anyone know of a good CPU cooler with a bulit in temp probe, along with separate temp and fan speed display-
Seems a good solution to the contant worriing about CPU and other temps not just on MSI boards. My other epox has had its moments too.
845PE-FIR/ 2.667/ twin WD 80mb special edition raid striped drives/ ATI 8500 vid/ corsair 512 PC2700 mem. - Very happy with board apart from lack of fully working fan speed display and only 3 fan headers.

Is 1.3 Bios really better than 1.52B?? Neo2 Board and Some Observations!

Hi All... I read this post on the forums and it got me thinking and i did some fiddling and made some observations..
This is whith regard to the 1.3Bios being better than the 1.52B Bios.. because it would let you run in turbo mode...
Ok i've spent the last 60mins testing and i came up with the following..
1.3BIOS
With the 1.3Bios.. no matter what memory timings u set... it does'nt show in CPU-Z and it does'nt make a difference in the memory bandwith scores...
For example my ram was rated at 2.5-3-3-8 .. i changed it to 2.5-2-3-8 .. it did'nt change and my scores remained the same..
Going from Slow to Fast to Turbo.. did'nt incrase my scores.. actually.. donno how.. but i got a decrease in scores..
The only thing that was noticable was that MSI core-center overclocks the CPU a lil more than what is set in BIOS..
1.52B BIOS
With the 1.52B Bios... u can change the memory timings and it does show in CPU-Z and it makes a massive difference with Sisoft sandra.. 250mbps more..
What u set in the bios .. u get with the 1.52B.. Corecenter does'nt mess around and overclock it more..
Going from Slow to Turbo did give me an increase in scores.. slightly..
Im now running Ultra-Turbo.. and i get a sisoft bandwith score of 5250Mbps at 3.21G..
CONCLUSION
So infact i think the 1.52B is better than the 1.3 . I don't have a Radeon so i donno how these bios's work with the cards cause i've read about some problems... I'm getting one soon so 'ill post some info about that in a fortnight..
I personally think this board is great.. atleast the one i have.. never had a problem.. had it for 3 months.. i have a revision 1.. no DOT sticker.. and just the Neo2-S version... I've used Spectec 333 on this board too (dual) had no problems..
Wish i had some DDR-500 so i could test whether this board can do 1:1 above 250...whether it has a 1:1 limitation above 285 like some other boards.. that is my only doubt.. anywayz.. i hope atleast some of u are sailing as smoothly with this board as i have..
Get some nice ram .. this Twinmos Dual channel kit DDR400 with the Twinmos chips are really great.. and i recommend it..

That´s wrong. RAM-Settings are displayed fine. Turbo does make a BIG difference in scores. About 15% more performance. In Games and in benchmarks like 3dmark and sandra, too.

Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

Stutter Problem - Some Observations

Ok, this stutter thing is driving me crazy and Apple's lack of response is drving me crazier. Here are some observations I have made while researching this bug.
The stutter I am experiencing only happens between songs using crossfade.
Turning crossfade off creates a long gap between songs. You can tell something is still not working right and needs to be fixed, but the stutter does stop by turning crossfade off.
Only certain songs stutter. I have experimented in Party Shuffle with hundreds of songs and have found certain songs stutter and others do not. This could explain why some folks might think a certain fix has solved the problem and then it "mysteriously" returns hours or days later. The songs that stutter will do so no matter what playlist is used so it is not confined to Party Shuffle.
Shuffle has nothing to do with it because it happens with it turned off.
I have compared everything I can think of between the songs that stutter and those that don't and can't find anything (i.e. format, ID3 Tag, Encoded With, etc.) that corelates.
I can fix the songs that stutter by reducing the end time by 3-5 seconds. Try it for yourself. This leads me to believe it has something to do with the way specific songs end and how iTunes starts the next song.
I am convinced this bug is song specific and has nothing to do with what other application is being used on the computer (once the stutter begins it does lock up other apps until the stutter subsides).
Even songs from the same album ripped the same way don't all stutter. For example, "Last Night" by the Strokes stutters while "Someday" from the same album does not.
I hope this leads to some further discussion. If anyone can figure out just what makes certain songs "different" from the rest might hold a clue to the problem. I apologize if this particular theory about the stutter has been addressed elsewhere on the board. I did a search and could not find anything. Thanks for reading and lets get to the bottom of this mess!
P.S. Maybe a list of songs that stutter might be helpful. Two songs that stutter on my system are "Last Night" by the Strokes and "Home" by Depeche Mode. I have many others but I'll just share two for now. For comparison a song that does not is "Beverly Hills" by Weezer.
P.S.S. Does anyone else find it odd that this problem appeared around the same time Microsoft was set to release their music service?

I don't use cross fade and I still ahve the stutter. The stutter is not consistant, however, since I can listen to a song once and it's fine and then listen to it again but it will skip. The skip is not always in the same spot either.
I moved my library from an external drive to an internal fast HD then reinstalled everything (Quicktime, iTunes) after completely removing both from my HD and registry. Even after the move and the reinstall I stil get some skipping, although not as frequently.
There is still one more problem that has not been completely resolved and that's the distortion that exists. It's a problem that has been around ever since the introduciton of itunes 7 and even though it has been better after the initial release it is still present enough to be annoying.

Some observations in Beta 4

Some observations in Beta 4:
- I miss the zoom option 1.44 : 1 - this would be useful to display 12MP files as 6MP, i.e. Fuji S5 PRO files.
- I cannot configure the export tool to open the original file (RAW or JPEG) without copying the file to a different location.If the export Imageformat is set to "Original" and the destination was the original directory, it should simply not copy anything but still open the postprocess application. This is useful to send RAW files to other RAW tools.
- Please make it possible to hide the modules, such as "Map" and "Book"
- The import dialog crashes (or runs into endeless operaion) if "Include Subfolders" was used sometimes before and a directory with many sub directories is selected. It should ask again before it loads all the files.
- The RAW developing of Fuji X100 Files is slower than Nikon files
- Developing of Fuji X10 Files using the dual pixel SN or DR EXR Modes seem to be stretch the width by about 5%.

Hi,
my usual work around is to "show file in explorer" and then use drag&drop to edit the file in other program. Unfortunately this does not work with many files at once.
>>But what is the point in using Lightroom, if you're developing in another raw processor?
I really enjoy the catalog function and in general the development - but there are cases when it makes sense to open a file in a specialized RAW program, i.e. the camera specific application.
But more important are tasks where I want to do something with the RAW data which is not developing. For example copy it to a ZIP or backup program. Or maybe I simply need to pass the original file name to an external database/EXIF program.
It is simply so that LR has a bug here. It should not ignore the rest of the process only if I choose the destination to be the same as the original. It can ignore the copying, but should still send the file to the selected tool.

Some observations on my first use of Data Modeler Beta

First of all, I can see this tool has a lot of promise.
I hope Oracle keeps at it, it could turn into a real winner if all the features I see being worked on mature.
Thanks!
Here are a few observations on things that I found non-obvious or tedious to do.
1. When designing an entity, I want to give it a name, a definition, attributes and keys. I want that process to be quick and require the minimum amount of mouse-clicking/navigation fiddling as possible. The current way of defining the attribute's datatype and size is painfully slow. I have to click to get a pop-up. Then I have to click to choose from a set of categories. Then I have to click on a dropdown list. If I try to use the down-arrow on the dropdown list, it works, but not if I go past the one I want. The up-arrow won't take me backwards in the list, so more clicking. It's just a nasty, slow interface to do a simple task that I have to do a thousand times in a data model. If I need to change the size of something, back I go thru the entire process all over again.
That makes it doubly slow to work in the most natural way, which is to list the attributes and the datatypes, then come back and refine the sizes once the model is maturing and relatively stable.
2. Adding an additional attribute requires a mouse click instead of a down-arrow. That means I have to take my hands off the keyboard to add a new attribute. Maybe there is some short-cut key that does that, but I have better things to do than memorize non-standard keyboard mappings. Make the down/up arrows works as they should.
3. Adding the comment that describes the attributes is not quite as slow, but still requires more keystrokes/mouse movements than it should. It's hard enough to get developers to document their attributes, don't discourage them.
4. I can't see the list of attributes, data types, sizes, key/mandatory settings, and the comment at one time while editing the entity. Makes it harder to grasp what all the attributes mean at a glance, which slows down the modeling and the comprehension of an existing model.
5. All the entities I created had primary keys with columns in them. But when I tried to have it build a physical model, it complained that some relationships had no columns in them. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Never had that problem in any other case tool.
6. Getting it to generate DDL was awkward to find. Make it something obvious, like a button on the toolbar that says "Generate DDL".
7. Apostrophes in the Comments in RDBMS are not escaped, so the generated DDL won't run.
8. For the ease of use/speed of use testing on high-volume key tasks, make the developers do the task 1000 times in a row. Make them use long names that require typing, not table A with columns c1, c2 and c3. Long before they get to iteration 1000 they will have many ideas on how to make that task easier and faster to do.
9. Make developers use names of things that are the maximum length allowed. For example, for a table name in oracle, the max length of the name is 30 characters. The name of one testing table should be AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMZ. That's a capital A followed by 28 capital M's and a capital Z. For numbers, use the pattern 1555559. If the developers can't see the A and Z or 1 and 9 in the display area for the name in the default layout for the window, they did the display layout wrong. For places where the text can be really long, choose a "supported visible length" for that field and enter data in the pattern AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMQMMMMMMMMZ, where Q is placed at the supported visible length. if the A and Q don't show, the layout is wrong.
10. SQL Developer has quite a few truly gooberish UI interaction designs and I can see some of that carrying over to the Data Modeler tool. I really recommend getting a windows UI expert to design the ui interface, not a java expert. I've seen a lot of very productive windows user interfaces and extremely few java interfaces suitable for high-speed data entry. Give the UI expert the authority to tell the java programmers "I don't want to hear about java coding internals - make the user interface perform this way." I think the technical limitations in java UIs are much less than the mindset limitations I've seen in all to many programmers. That, and making the developers use their code 1000 times in a row to perform key tasks will cause the UI to get streamlined considerably.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Dear David,
Again thank you for your valuable and highly appreciated feedback. Find included a more elaborated answer to your observations:
*1. When designing an entity, I want to give it a name, a definition, attributes and keys.*
In the new Early Adopter Release, a "SQL developer like" property window has been added for Entities and Tables. For each attribute/column you will have the ability to add name, datatype, Primary Key, Mandatory and comment from one and the same screen
*2. Adding an additional attribute requires a mouse click instead of a down-arrow.*
An enhancement request has been created
*3. Adding the comment that describes the attributes is not quite as slow, but still requires more keystrokes/mouse movements than it should.*
In the new Early Adopter Release, a "SQL developer like" property window has been added for Entities and Tables. For each attribute/column you will have the ability to add name, datatype, PK, M and comment from one and the same screen
*4. I can't see the list of attributes, data types, sizes, key/mandatory settings, and the comment at one time while editing the entity. Makes it harder to grasp what all the attributes mean at a glance, which slows down the modeling and the comprehension of an existing model.*
See former answers. For meaning of attributes you can also use the Glossary and Naming Standardization facilities: see Tools Option menu, Glossary and General Options for naming standards
*5. All the entities I created had primary keys with columns in them. But when I tried to have it build a physical model, it complained that some relationships had no columns in them. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Never had that problem in any other case tool.*
A Bug report has been created. Issue will most probably be solved in the nexr Early Adopter release
*6. Getting it to generate DDL was awkward to find. Make it something obvious, like a button on the toolbar that says "Generate DDL".*
An enhancement request has been created.
*7. Apostrophes in the Comments in RDBMS are not escaped, so the generated DDL won't run.*
A bug report has been created
*8. For the ease of use/speed of use testing on high-volume key tasks, make the developers do the task 1000 times in a row. Make them use long names that require typing, not table A with columns c1, c2 and c3. Long before they get to iteration 1000 they will have many ideas on how to make that task easier and faster to do.*
I aplogize, but I don't understand clearly what you want to say with the use/speed of use here.
*9. Make developers use names of things that are the maximum length allowed.*
Our relational model is for use for not just Oracle, but also DB2, SQL Server and in the future maybe other database systems. Whicjh means that we can't taylor it to just one of these database systems. However you can set maxinum name lenghts by clicking right on the diagram and select Model Properties and here you can set naming Options. Here you can also use the Glossary and Naming Standardization facilities: see Tools Option menu, Glossary and General Options for naming standards
*10. SQL Developer has quite a few truly gooberish UI interaction designs and I can see some of that carrying over to the Data Modeler tool.*
Fully agree. As you will see in our next Early Adopter release we have started to use SQL Developer like UI objects.

Nokia Lumia 920 India Launch ! - Some Observations...

Hi,
Being a Nokia fan for years .. I decided to write this .. I hope people at the right level from Nokia see this.
We all know Nokia Lumia 920 has probably hit all the right spots with Users abroad and the best thing is they are loving it a lot. I probably would like to be one of them soon.
However I have certain concerns,
When Nokia launced Lumia in India people had high hopes including myself however one thing that I have always found going wrong is the 'PRICING' .. yes such insanely high pricing at launch .. why ? Look at the pricing of Lumia 800 at launch (around 33k) . Look at the pricing of Lumia 900 still (31k) ? .. Lumia 800 now sells around at the price of 19k !! - almost a 40% drop in price.
The basic thinking in the minds of people including me is 'Don't buy a Nokia phone immediately on launch !!'. Why can't this be changed ? - Yes everybody wants to earn profits but in a situation wherein you are more in search for Mindshare .. This does not make sense. Obviously I am no one to teach anybody anything but this is what I feel & what I have felt for years.
If I buy a Nokia Lumia 920 at launch only to find that after 3 months the pricing has come down by 3-5k .. I will not be a Happy Consumer.
Nokia - Launch Lumia 920 at a very competitive price (so that the likes of SGS3 & HTC 8x will feel ashamed) .. Arrive at a price & keep it steady for real long so that the initial adopters are happy & others come to know that Nokia's pricing is real good and will stay that way for long.
Nokia's Lumia are pretty good phones .. they never lag when compared to Android etc however they have not been well received by people here in India. The most common answer that I get is 'Bluetooth not there - can't transfer files' , 'Can't use memory card ' & 'Apps not available'.
Nokia - you have to change this mindset of people because with Windows Phone 8 these things are no longer hindrances ! .. especially Bluetooth & Micro-sd support.
I am expecting your Ads to have this .. be it on Radio or TV or Internet.
Can we have right people on the Job ? - Recently I went to Hypercity Mall (in Mumbai) (Nokia booth). I took in my hand a Lumia 510. I asked how much RAM ? .. to my surprise he answered 512 Mb .. and I was like What ? I asked him to recheck - still the same answer. He said we have confirmed. The phone actually comes with 256 Mb of RAM.
Now imagine what happens to a consumer who brought this phone from him ?
Nokia - Please get the right people at task for Nokia Lumia 920 & 820 because there you have got some real innovations like PureView, OIS, Wireless Charging etc. Ensure that users get the right demo of all the innovations. First impression will be the Last impression.
At Malls (without Nokia booths), the 2 phones Lumia 800 & Lumia 710 lonely guard the booths .. with rarely anybody there to explain about them. Just on the side of it I find Samsung's booth with all the latest flagships standing there & probably someone to explain about it - however Android needs no explanation these days will all aware about it (& even if not aware they know a phone with it is Cool!).
Nokia - Please set your own booths for Lumia (both WP8 & WP7) & assign one of your Guys per Booth. I really don't know the dynamics of setting up booth at a mall & the financial impact of it. All you need to do is differentiate your Lumia's from others.
Alternatively you can have a Lumia Van (or Lumia Vans) running around the City with all the possible Lumia's on it for doing Demo's. All Lumia's - since a person can come up to check a Lumia 510 too & not having a specific Lumia means Dissatisfaction for the user.
Nokia Lumia 920,820 & 620 are gem of a phones .. Hope everything is done right with them in a price sensitive market like India & I hope that Nokia you are listening to a User's opinion here.
Here's someone who wishes real good things for Nokia. Good luck with the launch of Nokia Lumia 920, 820 & 620. Desperately waiting !!

Hi slon!
Welcome to Nokia Forum!
Let me answer your question in the same manner you have presented it.
1. How can I configure networking option for individual application (it was standard option before, see N8)
- Can you tell me which particular application/s you are referring to? The phone prioritizes WLAN connection over 3G to ensure quality customer experience.
Example: Nokia Maps - when downloading map data, it would require you to use WLAN as phone would require high amount of data.
2. Where can I find the option like: Automatic, Always ask, WLAN only when using access to data connection
- These options are not available on the device. However, you can find some settings that are similar to what you are looking for:
Settings>Wifi>Tap on Advanced> you will have the following options:
Notify me when new networks are found
Automatically connect to Wi-Fi hotspots
Send information about Wi-Fi connections to help discover nearby Wi-Fi
Keep Wi-Fi on when the screen times out

Aperture 3.01 Some Observations

Upgrade to 3.01 a few observations
1) Faces is much faster now. I have tagged 10,000 faces and it is not as painful. Still needs some work.
2) Memory issues a lot better, I have 10 gigs and sometimes that was not enough
3) I still crash once in a while
4) Need to fix orphan flow when you are in faces and double click to view full photo. No way to go back.
5) Sometimes have problems quitting program. (Have to force quit)
6) Need to be able to have hot key to enlarge and decrease brush size so I can map it to my pen.
Please list your observations and fixes.
Message was edited by: mitch paull

Working much better than 3.0.0 (memory issues are gone and it's actually usable now) but sadly, there are still a few glitches:
- Export watermarks are still broken (scaled way too big)
- Faces still buggy and crashy (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2349481 )
- When double-clicking a person in the "Faces" view, then double-clicking one of the images of that person and then browsing through the images using the arrow keys, Aperture sometimes shows images not belonging to that person
- Magic Mouse scrolling isn't very nice in general, often way too fast and "jumpy" compared to e.g. scrolling a webpage in Safari
- In "Places" especially, scrolling on the Magic Mouse is much too sensitive. Move your finger a bit and it will suddenly zoom all the way in or all the way out. And also: How about limiting zoom to a "up/down" motion, it's also zooming on "left/right" at the moment. Very confusing.
- Sometimes the right side of the viewer is cut off by a few pixels, including the UI elements that surround it, like the "Quick Preview" button on the lower right corner
- Lots of graphical glitches on my Radeon X1600 graphics card when doing adjustments: Flickering, oddly-coloured shapes showing up etc., appears to be a graphics driver problem
- Aperture sometimes decides to update a few thousand thumbnails for no apparent reason (although that might have been caused by the crashes I encountered while using Faces)
- After my update to 3.0.1 Aperture found none of my referenced master images. The images are located on a samba share which was, of course, mounted at the time. However, in the "Referenced files" dialog, the volume was shown as being offline. A "Reconnect all" fixed it but still shouldn't have happened in the first place. See also: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2334989
- [edit] One thing I forgot in my initial posting: The loupe in AP3 still changes magnification by itself from time to time and/or has a strange default magnification after starting Aperture (sometimes 1600%, sometimes 500something% etc.; should be 100% by default IMHO). This behaviour was also present in AP2. See also: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11045005

Apple TV V2: Some observations concerning the new software...

I recently updated my Apple TV (160 GB) to the V2 software without - on first sight - any obvious problem. I'm running iTunes 7.6 on an iMac G5 with my iTunes library (approx. 60 GB) completely on the internal HD. My iTunes library is synced to the Apple TV (-> Custom Sync with "Show only synced items on the Apple TV" checked) meaning I don't stream any content from this computer.
There is a second iMac G5 in the network (my girlfriend's iMac) which is configured to share its iTunes library with Apple TV meaning the shared content is streamed.
While getting familiar with the V2 software I made some (strange?) observations I would like to share in this forum:
1) Apple TV V2 now is always visible in iTunes on the iMac providing the shared library; with the V1 software this happened only in iTunes on the iMac providing the synced library which - by the way - didn't change. Can anyone confirm this behaviour?
2) In the Music Menu I don't see the entry "Music Videos" from the iTunes store. I'm living in Germany and I know Apple's knowledgebase article about missing entries reflecting the missing features of the local iTunes store. But the German iTunes store is selling Music Videos (but no movies, TV shows, and movie rentals). All other entries valid for the German iTunes store are correctly visible. Could any German Apple TV V2 user please confirm that "Music -> Music Videos" is missing in Germany in spite of the German iTunes store selling Music Videos?
3) Empty static playlists don't show up on Apple TV V2 after a successful sync, but they show up on the Apple TV device in iTunes if you open it by clicking the little arrow in front of it to inspect the synced content from there. This means the sync is okay but somehow the Apple TV V2 GUI doesn't show them. I know empty static playlists don't make much sense, but I noticed this behaviour and I would like to know if someone can confirm it.
4) Empty dynamic playlists only show up on Apple TV V2 after a successful sync if iTunes on the iMac with the synced library is running! Please note: as stated above I have "Show only synced items on the Apple TV" checked. There should be no dynamic behaviour concerning the shown content of the synced library. Again: can someone confirm this behaviour?
5) The "Recently Added" playlist is always visible on Apple TV V2. This playlist is not synced, but it is visible on Apple TV V2 regardless of iTunes running on the iMac with the synced library or not. Remember: as stated above I have "Show only synced items on the Apple TV" checked and this playlist is not and was never synced. I tried to toggle the sync state of this playlist several times followed by successfull syncs, but whatever I do: "Recently Added" remains visible on the Apple TV V2; all other playlists don't show this "feature". Can anybody confirm this behaviour?
6) Internet radio stations are not working at all for me in a synced playlist. I followed the threads with this topic and came to the conclusion that we now can put internet radios stations from iTunes in a playlist, sync this playlist to Apple TV V2 and - as long as iTunes is running on the iMac with the synced library - the radio stations will be visible, selectable and playable on Apple TV V2. This does not work for me: as long as iTunes with the synced library is running I can see the playlist on Apple TV 2, but it is empty meaning the internet radio stations are not visible. I made sure that the radio stations are checked in the synced iTunes library, but no success: just an empty playlist on Apple TV V2 which completely disappears as soon as I quit iTunes on the iMac with the synced library. Anybody suffering from this behaviour, too?
7) If I open the Apple TV V2 device in iTunes on the iMac with the synced library by clicking the little arrow in front of it (just to inspect its contents), I find that some playlists on Apple TV V2 show items which definitly don't belong to them. Interestingly these "wrong items" are only shown in iTunes; they don't show up directly on Apple TV V2 on the TV screen. Can anybody confirm this behaviour?
All in all I see my "smooth" upgrade to the V2 software now in a completely different light. I fear my "perfect sync" pre to the V2 update is somehow broken...
Or is this all expected behaviour?
Any comment is appreciated.
Thank you, Michael.

Hi Mike...for your question #3, I found a couple discussion threads about this issue which appears to be 'possibly' either a software glitch or Apple's way of discouraging people from listening to free music and forced to purchase music.
Anyhow here are the two discussion threads:

Shuffle USB Problem - Some Observations

I decided to start a new thread with some additional observations I have made regarding the Shuffle and USB problems. Some of this already appeared as a reply to the "ipod usb" thread. Anyway recapping from my previous post:
When plugged into the USB port of my machine, the front LEDs (above the control area) flash the following:
GREEN and ORANGE (YELLOW?) flash together for between 1/4 and 1/2 second. This is followed by the GREEN LED alone for about 1.5 seconds. 3 seconds of nothing, then it repeats. The battery condition LED on the back (below the ON/OFF switch blinks ORANGE for about 1/4 second every 4 seconds.
Plugging the Shuffle into another computer (a laptop), the Shuffle is recognized and the LEDs behave normally.
Now the weird thing is that the Shuffle had worked on the machine where it is now not recognized. In fact the iTunes 7.0.1 diagnostics show the serial number of the Shuffle as the last iPod connected. Also, the USB on the iTunes machine is a USB 1.0 and on the laptop is USB 2.0.
NEW OBSERVATIONS:
My 20GB Click Wheel iPod works fine under 7.0.1. The fact that it works leads me to believe the USB port and power are fine. If it the USB port can drive a hard disk iPod, it better be able to drive a Shuffle!
I loaded up the version of iTunes that came with the Shuffle on another Windows 2000 box I have. The Shuffle was recognized and did a RESTORE on it. Windows even recognized it. The version of Windows IS NOT as currently patched as the computer on which I have iTunes 7.0.1 installed.
I uninstalled iTunes 7.0.1 and installed version 6.0. Aside from 6.o not starting because some file got converted, Win2000 still did not recognize the Shuffle.
So here are my thoughts:
1) A recent Windows 2000 patch causes Shuffles to be ignored by the OS. There is a comment about a problem like this with XP, but I was not able to find anything Win2000 related. The machine I am having problems with is up to dat with regard to patches.
2) If V7.0.01 is the problem, even uninstalling it and reinstalling an old version of iTunes leaves some part of the driver or something that still causes problems.
3) The Phillips Pronto remote software I installed somehow causes a bad interaction with only the Shuffle. Remember, my click wheel iPod still works!
Right now I am leaning towards an issue specific to Windows2000 and the Shuffle. Maybe a conspiracy to get us all to buy Zunes?
If anyone has additional observations or suggestions on how to fix the problem, I (and a bunch of other people) would really like to hear from you.
Thanks!

Okay, I got focused on the fact that other machines
would recognize my Shuffle, but not my main machine.
It dawned on me that the Windows Registry stores
information about USB devices whether or not they
are plugged in, so I snooped around and found the
entries for the iPod.
I did some searches and found a reference to this MS
KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
Basically describes how to show the "hidden" (i.e.
removed USB) devices. Went into the USB section and
deleted the 2 entries I had for iPods (my Shuffle and
20GB click wheel).
Plugged my Shuffle in and BINGO! Windows recognized
the Shuffle and iTunes 7.0.1 recognized the Shuffle!
In fact, as I write this post, my poor little
Shuffle is having my jogging play list reinstalled
since it got wacked by the 'restore' on the other
machine.
Bottom line, it looks like I managed to solve my
green and orange LEDs of death problem!
Your mileage may vary!
Good luck!
Don
Yes, great, this is a fix for this problem. Thank you very much.

Some observations regarding passwords and the App Store

It used to be that installing or upgrading an app, even free ones, required your inputting your AppleID. There would be a five- to ten-minute grace period during which you needn't enter it again, but afterwards you would be required to re-enter the password. Which made sense: No one wants unauthorized users to start buying up potentially expensive apps without permission.
This is still the case with the iPhone. What's surprising is that this is no longer the case with the iPad. Recently I've noticed that after a good day or two without accessing the App Store, updating apps no longer asks for my password. Given virtually all updates are free, I'm assuming this applies to (free) updates. INSTALLING free apps may or may not require the re-entering of passwords; I don't know, I haven't tried it yet. I'm certainly hoping that password re-entry will be required with paid apps. (Cue story of kid purchasing a $100 app on mom's iPad.)
I'm also assuming that the iPhone continues to ask for passwords -- (free) updates or not -- perhaps because as a truly mobile device, it needs to retain a bit more restrictiveness. I don't necessarily agree, since how much trouble can a free updates cause? (Unless of course you wanted to keep an older version for some reason.) As illustrated, the App Store on the iPad, at least, doesn't seem to require password re-entry anymore, at least for updates.
Is this something anyone else has observed, or is it only my iPad that's somehow affected?

Well, I pulled out my other iPad, and when I tried to update some apps, the App Store did require my password. So it may be this particular iPad that somehow has lost its ability to ask for my password when updating apps, or maybe even downloading paid apps. (I'm not eager to try that yet.) FWIW, this iPad also had the issue of updating apps resulting in long wait times before finally downloading; this was fixed by using "Reset All Settings" under General Settings. Perhaps the two phenomena are related? I may try erasing all settings are seeing if that fixes these nconsistencies once and for all. Let y'all know.

Some observations in power saver in E71

I have observed the following:
1. If the any power saver other than the blank screen is running, and the key pad is also locked, and then you press the D-pad central button, it shows the date, time and some other info in large font (as expected). But once the button is de-pressed, it does not return the power saver, but shows blank screen.
2. Breathing light works only with blank screen as power saver, or if one reaches blank screen, as mentioned in the first point.
Any comments on this? In my opinion, for point 1, it should have returned to the power saver set up originally, instaed of the blank screen. The second point seems ok though, though it woould be good to have breating light in all the power savers.
Regards,
BK76

Yup, I concur with tobiasrieper. if you have breathing lights off, it will return to the power saver.
Anyways, hopefully some consistency will be introduced in the future firmwares. Also, it may be a good idea to link the breathing light to the power saver option, rather than profile settings. However, this is more subjective, and depends on personal preference!!
Regards,
BK76.

"Sleep of death" question and some observations

I just recently upgraded to an S3 from a Fascinate, and I've been impressed so far. The only thing I really didn't like about my Fascinate was that it would suddenly freeze or crash one every week or two, and the only thing I could do was open the case, remove the battery, and then put the battery back in. Then I could reboot the phone and all was well. Well, after not using my S3 for an hour or so, I tried to wake it up and nothing happened. I couldn't turn it off (or on) either. Sleep of death. I had to open the case, remove and re-insert the battery to use the phone again. Is this a common problem? What could be causing it? Is there any other way to fix it?
Overall, I really like the S3. It's a significant upgrade from the Fascinate. Screen quality and size (larger but not too big), processor speed, and 4G LTE are great. I have a seven year old iPod that is still hanging in there, but I hope to use my S3 in my car (2012 Prius II, no Nav or Entunes) to listen to my music if and when my iPod dies. I can't get music to play on my car stereo when I plug my S3 into my car's USB port (I'm told its because the S3 doesn't support mass storage mode). But, after uploading some iTunes music to Google Play, I can play it with my S3 over Bluetooth audio. The sound quality is good, but not quite as good as a USB connection is. I'm experimenting with various audio settings in Google Play Music to see if I can enhance the sound quality. If anyone knows how to play audio with an S3 over a USB connection, I'd be interested in finding out.
I haven't used the camera very much yet (I have had the S3 only two days) but the few photos I have taken look good. Battery life seems to be improved over the Fascinate. Call quality also seems up a notch. I haven't yet tried some other features, and still others i have yet to discover! This phone comes with very good reviews, and I can see why.
I can also say that I was very pleased with the service I was given at the VZW store in Augusta, Maine, when I went to upgrade my phone. So far, other than the sleep of death issue, I'm a happy camper.

Stop using the stock browser and use Chrome instead. See if the "sleep of death" goes away.

Proper method to fire off some code to create a default set of detail data.

Greetings, fellow nerds. First, I'd like to thank the folks that have helped me out in the past. I don't always return back to the topic to give kudos, and sometimes I even figure out my problem before anyone says anything. And I try to find reference to my problem by doing a search on it beforehand. Which often works.
Anyways...
I've got a mater/detail form that I set up using the wizard. Every time a new master record is created, I'm gonna want to set up 62 generic rows of detail records to be associated with it. The detail section defaults to an 'add row' button, which may actually be used, and even the delete function. But, I don't want the user to have to enter 62 rows.
I've created a table of the generic rows, and have written the sql to populate the details table, using the bind variable that is the id of the master table/row.
If the user is looking at the master table 'report', and clicks create, it fires off the add process for the master table. No details. Filling in the various master fields, and clicking create, a master record is created, and the page stays there with no re-direct back to the 'report'. And the options are now 'apply changes', and 'cancel'. Cancel takes you back to the 'report', with no details created. At the same time, the details become available for this new master record. But again, with the option to add a single detail row.
At what point should I fire off the code that will generate the 62 rows of template detail records? Do I just add a button beside the 'add row' button, that will fire off the code, and return them to what they are looking at, with the 62 rows staring back at them to edit? Do I hook it to the 'create' button on the master portion of the page? If so, I'd want it to fire after all of the validations for the master data, and the master record was in fact inserted.
I'd like to do this the 'correct' way.
Thanks in advance,
Clayton

I can't say anything about a correct way of doing this. Your descriptions doesn't
point to any critical issues if doing it this or another way. What I can say is that
this looks like a perfect case for utilizing collections.
