An inportant question about the iPhone 5 screen!

Not sure if i grasped the concept of the new iPhone 5 screen but from what i understood is that the glass screen n the sensors which detect the touch of ur fingers have been integrated into one screen allowing for a thinner phone, the only problem is that if ur glass were to crack, would that render the touch sensors useless? In the first 4 models if the screen cracked all was well and u only had to worry about the spot of cracked screen n the sensors n screen were fine...now im worried that the sensors and even the screen might b affected...thanx in advance
PS: Im also to understan that the new glass on the phone is superior in resistance than older models but in sure it doesnt make it invinsible

The previous phones were like this
----------- Glass
----------- Touch Sensors
----------- Pixels
Now, the iPhone 5 is that way
----------- Glass
----------- Pixels & Touch Sensors

A few (basic) questions about the iPhone

I just got my iPhone 3GS about a week ago. I am very new to the whole smartphone arena, so some of my questions my seem stupid. Please be kind regardless.
I've learned a lot about the iPhone by trial and error (pressing buttons to see what happens) but one thing I just discovered was the multitasking bar. When I accessed it, I saw every app I had run since I got the phone displayed in the multitasking bar. And I know that by holding the icons on the bar, you can bring up a red minus sign, touch it, and remove that app from the bar. My question is, are all of those apps displayed in the mutltasking bar constantly running in the background, and thus, draining more battery than necessary?
Secondly, on the topic of wifi. I have my phone set to automatically join known networks and ask me to join unknown networks that it detects. However, it doesn't seem to be doing that. I still have to manually go to settings and search for the network. It will automatically join my home network (for example, when I go somewhere and come home, it will switch back to my home network automatically), but it won't do this with, for example, the wifi network at McDonald's even though I did go through the setup and make that network a known network. Am I mistaken in thinking the phone should do this automatically, or do I have to search for the network every single time? Also, since I have "ask to join networks" checked, will it automatically detect nearby networks, or do I also have to manually search for those? I understand this question may be confusing, so I can try to clarify if need be.
My last question is concerning conserving the battery. I currently have both wifi and 3G active on my phone, and I have read conflicting reports of which one drains more battery. Some say to turn off 3G and keep wifi, others say vice versa. I'm at home a lot so I'm always near my home wifi network and don't need 3G for data transfer unless I'm out and about. So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted totry and clear those things up. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Only the last 4 apps to be run are actually active and in RAM. The others are swapped out to flash memory in a saved state (i.e you should be able to resume where you left off, if the app is written to support that). They don't therefore drain battery. I close all apps down from time to time (every few days) just to keep things neat.

It should automatically list new networks when (a) you're in range and (b) you try to connect to the internet (e.g. browse to a web page or check for email)
My last question is concerning conserving the battery. I currently have both wifi and 3G active on my phone, and I have read conflicting reports of which one drains more battery.

The issue is not which drains more battery, but which you need to connect to the internet. Where you have wifi access, switch off 3G, where you have 3G, switch off wifi.

A few questions about the iPhone 4S...

Hi guys, Yesterday I fixed up the 4S that I recieved from a friend for my iPhone 4.
Anyway there are two things that bother me,
One of them: When I sync my music the album art doesn't show up.. I'm running the same iOS on both phones and album art appears on the iPhone 4.
While on the iPhone 4S it doesn't.
Second when I take a picture with flash. It leaves a blue blop on the screen..

As for updating, yes iTunes will tell you when there is an update and it will update through it.
As for "brick" For the most part, if you don't hack your phone you shouldn't have to worry about it. While there are reports of non hacked phones getting bricked during an update, it is a small (but vocal) percentage. Best bet is to make sure you are plugged into a USB 2.0 port on your computer (direct, not via a hub...eg: cable goes from phone to PC).
As for txts, go to Settings => general => Passcode Lock...and there is setting to turn off preview...you will still get told you have a message, but won't show text on screen till you go read it.
As for SIM contacts, the iPhone doesn't support contacts on a SIM. All contacts are stored on phone.
As for ringtones, just what iTunes offers is all you can get. The list is growing over time.

A few questions about the iPhone.

Question 1: Does restoring your iPhone and getting the newer firmware help the battery life at all?
Question 2: When restoring the iPhone, I have heard people say that you should back it up. only thing youd lose is contacts and texts right?
Question 3: You guys most likely won't know this...but I have heard that apple is aware that the iphones were rushed and some have had issues. are the ones that they are now sening to the apple stores still old ones with the problems or do they make sure the ones they are sending out now are working good? because i'm just wondering if I should wait until apple addresses us directly about the issues until i buy.

Possibly, I haven't noticed anything different, but others might have.
EDIT: What firmware do you have? If you don't have 5A347, then do a restore to get it.

Question 2: When restoring the iPhone, I have heard people say that you should back it up. only thing youd lose is contacts and texts right?
EVERYTHING is erased off of your iPhone when you do this. You have to sync it back using iTunes regardless of back-ups. Back-ups just remember what settings and content you have on your iPhone so that it syncs everything back the way it was. Much more easier to do this than to start off fresh.

Most issues are software problems, which will be resolved with future updates regardless of what phone you have. In my opinion, get it whenever because I don't think Apple will make any changes to the iPhone itself for a long time (years, probably), only the software.

Few questions about the iPhone

I am thinking of getting one, But have a few questions.
Its my first time on Apple's forum so i hope im not in the wrong section etcetc.
1. Does the iPhone have a good stability? (doesnt randomly break down etc)
2. Does it have a Video camera or just a Camera? (Can i add a video camera?)
3. Does Safari and Wi-fi cost anything per month etc? (With prepaid)
4. Is the Call quality good? The Music player good? Applications good?
5. Is an iPhone good to use in Australia? Is its internet slow? Bad call quality?
I may wait for the 3G Models, but they are my basic questions.
Thanks for the help everyone!

Yes, it does.

It does not have video at this time. This month a software update is coming out so we'll see what becomes available after that.
3. Does Safari and Wi-fi cost anything per month etc? (With prepaid)
WiFi is free unless the WiFi provider charges for access.
4. Is the Call quality good? The Music player good? Applications good?
Yes.
5. Is an iPhone good to use in Australia? Is its internet slow? Bad call quality?
The iPhone is not currently available in Australia and the TOU of these forums do not allow the discussion of hacked phones. If you buy a hacked phone, there is no guarantee that the phone will work properly and you will not get any support from Apple or these forums.

Questions about the iPhone 4 bumper case

im asuming it will be available tomorrow during pre-order in which ill buy being that there's not many (if any) cases out there and I cant imagine having a naked iPhone. I don’t remember them saying in the keynote on the material? it looks of hard plastic, then again it looks rubberish? did anyone catch that during the keynote because I don’t remember them talking about the material?
does anyone know of any cases out yet? I would think not being the makers probably need an iPhone 4 body to work with making cases. Google brought up nothing, thanks!

here you go http://www.case-mate.com/iPhone-4-Cases/iPhone-4-Cases.asp
the bumper looks cool, but all but black or white will look kind of gay for guys to use. Ill be getting a black phone and would love a red bumper!
Also, $29 for something that costs probably way less than $1 to make is a little pricey IMO!

Questions about the iPhone 5 Lightning Cable?

Ok, so the new iPhone comes with a "Lightning" USB connecter thing. So, why do they sell Lightning to 30 pin adapter? What does this do? Can lightning charge on the newest MacBook Air with USB 3.0? Any idea how long it will take to charge through this? So, if it comes with Lightning to USB, that should charge the iPhone 5 with the USB power adapter it comes with right? I know this is a lot, but what I'm mainly confused with is what the Lightning to 30 pin does, and if the iPhone 5 will charge with the accessories that come with the iPhone when you buy it. Thanks!

The lightning to 30 pin adapter allows you to still use all the old sound docks, third party charges and so on with your new iphone 5.
I am happy that apple came out with the adapter. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. $29 for the adapter is a bit much. Especially since it does not support video out.

A few questions about the iphone 3GS + repairing costs

Hi,
I just recently bought a iphone 3GS but I am not sure how to tell whether it is new or used.
I checked through the settings and it says:
statistics resets: never
minutes called:0
usage: -
etc.
Is there a way to truly tell whether the phone is completely brand new? Because I bought it from someone and it looks new but I don't know if he might have done something to reset the statistics to make it seem new or not.
Also, how much does it cost to replace the back cover of the iphone 3GS?
I can not find an estimate on how much it would cost.
Thanks for your time!

you can check that with
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
enter your serial number there normally every iphone
has 12 month warranty, it will show remaining period
and you can then get to the original purchase date

Question about the SGP Oleophobic screen protector

I just ordered one of the SGP Ultra Oleophobic protectors and was curious about their longevity. I never used a screen protector on my 3g and never had a scratch, but after some of the horror stories I've heard, I decided to put one on my iP4. Anyway, I don't have much a frame of reference as to how long these things last. Should I expect to buy a set twice a year/every two months? What has been your experience?

Resolved. Went to Genius Bar this morning to discuss yellow-screen issue.
The Genius looked at my iPhone (which is yellow), looked at my girlfriend's iPhone (which is okay). Brought both iPhones to the back office, came back within minutes, and said "compared both to my iPhone yours (the yellow one) obviously looks more yellow. I will compare yours with other display iPhone models, and we will give you a replacement if we still find yours too yellow."
So he brings me and goes to in-store display iPhones, and compares. Mine looks obviously more tinted and looks worn out. He admits my screen is defective, and goes on to give me a new replacement phone. Screen looks awesome, and it works very good.
My original phone (yellow one) serial number started with 868. My gf's iPhone starts with 888. And my new replacement iPhone starts with 878.
Now this is just my thoughts, but if other yellow phones are also serial batch 868, I believe it is the defective batch. Maybe not, but it is possible.

Just 2 questions about the iPhone 4

Does anyone know if the video calls are only between you and other iPhone 4 owners? or will something like Skype be available for use with someone using Skype on a computer? i think this feature is cool, just not as cool if its only between iPhone 4 owners.
this is more of a curiosity question. Obviously the front is glass for a reason, but why is the back also glass?

I see lots of people asking questions about the "white screen" app store update failure. I see no answers from Apple about this...What is the problem, and what is the solution?

It's a problem that Apple is having with their App updating system. The best solution is to be patient, and wait for Apple to solve their systemic problem.

A question about the impact of SQL*PLUS SERVEROUTPUT option on v$sql

Hello everybody,
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
SQL>
OS : Fedora Core 17 (X86_64) Kernel 3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64I would like to ask a question about the SQL*Plus SET SERVEROUTPUT ON/OFF option and its impact on queries on views such as v$sql and v$session. Here is the problem
Actually I define three variables in SQL*Plus in order to store sid, serial# and prev_sql_id columns from v$session in order to be able to use them later, several times in different other queries, while I'm still working in the current session.
So, here is how I proceed
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- I often activate this option as the first line of almost all of my SQL-PL/SQL script files
SET SQLBLANKLINES ON;
VARIABLE mysid NUMBER
VARIABLE myserial# NUMBER;
VARIABLE saved_sql_id VARCHAR2(13);
-- So first I store sid and serial# for the current session
BEGIN
    SELECT sid, serial# INTO :mysid, :myserial#
    FROM v$session
    WHERE audsid = SYS_CONTEXT('UserEnv', 'SessionId');
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
-- Just check to see the result
SQL> SELECT :mysid, :myserial# FROM DUAL;
    :MYSID :MYSERIAL#
       129   1067
SQL> Now, let's say that I want to run the following query as the last SQL statement run within my current session
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;According to Oracle® Database Reference 11g Release 2 (11.2) description for v$session
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25513/dynviews_3016.htm#REFRN30223]
the column prev_sql_id includes the sql_id of the last sql statement executed for the given sid and serial# which in the case of my example, it will be the above mentioned SELECT query on the employees table. As a result, right after the SELECT statement on the employees table I run the following
BEGIN
    SELECT prev_sql_id INTO :saved_sql_id
    FROM v$session
    WHERE sid = :mysid AND serial# = :myserial#;
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> SELECT :saved_sql_id FROM DUAL;
:SAVED_SQL_ID
9babjv8yq8ru3
SQL> Having the value of sql_id, I'm supposed to find all information about cursor(s) for my SELECT statement and also its sql_text value in v$sql. Yet here is what I get when I query v$sql upon the stored sql_id
SELECT child_number, sql_id, sql_text
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_id = :saved_sql_id;
CHILD_NUMBER   SQL_ID          SQL_TEXT
0              9babjv8yq8ru3    BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES); END;Therefore instead of
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary >= 2800 AND ROWNUM <= 10;for the value of sql_text I get the following value
BEGIN DBMS_OUTPUT.GET_LINES(:LINES, :NUMLINES);Which is not of course what I was expecting to find in v$sql for the given sql_id.
After a bit googling I found the following thread on the OTN forum where it had been suggested (well I think maybe not exactly for the same problem) to turn off SERVEROUTPUT.
Problem with dbms_xplan.display_cursor
This was precisely what I did
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFFafter that I repeated the whole procedure and this time everything worked pretty well as expected. I checked SQL*Plus documentation for SERVEROUTPUT
and also v$session page, yet I didn't find anything indicating that SERVEROUTPUT should be switched off whenever views such as v$sql, v$session
are queired. I don't really understand the link in terms of impact that one can have on the other or better to say rather, why there is an impact
Could anyone kindly make some clarification?
thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hi Dariyoosh,
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON has the effect of executing dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement. Not only related to system view.
Here below what Tom Kyte is explaining in this page:
Now, sqlplus sees this functionality and says "hey, would not it be nice for me to dump this buffer to screen for the user?". So, they added the SQLPlus command "set serveroutput on" which does two things
1) it tells SQLPLUS you would like it <b>to execute dbms_output.get_lines after each and every statement</b>. You would like it to do this network rounding after each call. You would like this extra overhead to take place (think of an install script with hundreds/thousands of statements to be executed -- perhaps, just perhaps you don't want this extra call after every call)
2) SQLPLUS automatically calls the dbms_output API "enable" to turn on the buffering that happens in the package.Regards.

Questions about the content of download meeting recording .zip file

I tried posting this on the resurrected Connect forum, but my Adobe ID wasn't recognized there....
Concerning the files that are included in the .zip file of the meeting recording that can be downloaded:
1) Is there any documentation describing the files and their contents (i.e. what each file represents, what each XML element and attribute in those files represent)
2) Are there any files that capture mouse movement on a shared desktop?
Thank you!

Hi Sean,
Regarding your first post:
Thanks Jorma! I don't have access to an FMS build at the moment but I'm quite certain it's there. As for contacting Jaydeep, I am 90% sure he authorized us to broadcast his email on here if folks had questions about the tool, but, in the case that I'm wrong and he didn't - I'm going to double-check first.
Regarding your most recent post..
"To be clear, the most critical goal I'm trying to accomplish is to create an automated process that will download the recording meeting at its highest quality in a consistent and reliable manner".
I personally believe this is possible; unfortunately, I haven't seen it done yet. If your recording contains:
- audio
- a camera feed
- screensharing
Then I think you might be able to get this going. If it contains shared content, like a shared PPT, this gets trickier.
"To do this, of course, I have to reproduce some of the functionality that Connect provides, starting and combining video and audio streams according to the instructions in the control files."
Exactly right. If your recording didn't contain shared content, then all you've got on your hands are a bunch of audio/video files that you could edit together as you wanted with your favourite video editing tool. If it contains shared content, here's (at a high level) what's happening.
For shared PPTs or FTContent files:
First (for version 9 recordings only), Connect reads the information on the Shared Content's location and SCO within mainstream and indexstream and validates it before loading it. I don't recall this happening to the same extent with version 8 or earlier, but maybe it was. Now, if the content is validated (ie. Connect can find it) the share pod will display as black, if it doesn't, you get an empty pod with an message like "No content is being shared" or something like that.
Connect then looks at the actual FTContent file, and loads the content that is to be shared using the file path and sco ID listed in here. It's important to note that the SCO ID and file path in here will likely not be the same as the original file you uploaded to your room, it's a new SCO id (I believe SCOs of this type are called referenced scos) and new path.
Now...if I was going to build some sort of player which would play all these files in one screen to make a recording...I might not want to use Connect's code here. If you know the file path to the shared content (from FTContent), you could easily view it with the content URL (conveniently also in FtContent). I'm not a coder, but I'm envisioning something like Presenter's GUI where you've got the presentation's content in the main area, and a video file (if there is one) playing back on the side.
Anyways, food for thought if you want to try to go about this. Connect recordings are incredibly complex and they come with a big learning curve, but if you can make sense of them the knowledge is quite valuable.

Short question about the nano controls

Hi. I'm probably going to buy a 4Gb nano today, but first I'd like to ask a short question about the << >> buttons on the click wheel.
I read in a forum that the << & >> buttons are actually 'skip' buttons (only used to play the previous or next song respectively), and that it's impossible to rewind or fast-forward within the track you're listening to. This is extremely important for me as I have several 2-3 hours mp3, and I need to be able to access different parts of the file quickly (eg. not having to actually wait 1 hour to listen to my favorite part). I found this to be an important feature, and I can't believe Apple hasn't thought about it.
Anyway, I've never used an iPod, that's why this question may sound plain stupid.
Thanks for you replies!

The iPod fast charges to about 80% and then trickle charges the rest of the way to prevent damaging the battery/iPod. A full charge takes more than an hour or two though the battery indicator will show full. The best way to tell if a full charge has occurred is to unmount the iPod from the computer but keep it connected. The screen will show an animation of a battery. When the animation stops the battery is fully charged.
Also, as your battery discharges the indicator will eventually show red indicating the battery is about to run out...in an hour or two. After you've owned your iPod for a couple months you'll figure out how much time you have left when the indicator turns red - it depends on a number of factors including play volume, equalizer use, etc. In real world use I'm getting over 11 hours.
The headphones are...average. If they didn't hurt my ears I'd find them acceptable for my pop music but not so acceptable for acoustic and symphonic nor music with booming bass - because they don't boom the bass.
I encode the majority of my music at 256 AAC and I've noticed no distortion caused by the EQ. This, plus your complaint about the earphones, leads me to think perhaps you got a bum set of phones. Borrow a pair from someone else and see what happens.
