Alarm clock problem and question

My son is having problems with the alarm on his iPhone 3G. Sometimes it simply does not go off. He has tried resetting, it didn't help. I searched the forums and noticed that some other people have had the same problem. Perhaps the upcoming software update may help.
In the meantime, here is my question. There are several alarm clock apps in the app store. If he downloads one of those to use, will the battery drain be increased? He has heard that non apple apps like alarm clocks really drink up the battery life.
Any hints, clarifications, etc. greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm in Iraq and I use my alarm daily, to wake me up. I haven't had a problem, until I updated my phone to the 3.0 version software. I'm going to try to email support to see if there is a fix coming out; and if not, to notify them of the problem. I suggest anyone with this problem, do the same.

Some problems and questions using OWB

For Igor or anyone who can help me :-)
Hello Igor,
Thanks for all your help concerning my mapping deployment problem! Now its working better ;-)
I used the OWB Runtime Assistant to create a new runtime target schema and i use the owner of this schema as user while logging to OWB.
Now i can create and deploy without problems mappings, tables, functions, procedures, packages, dimensions, views, materialized views, process flows (i have installed the Oracle Workflow Client 2.6.2.0.0 with OWF builder and OWF mailer ).
However I have still some problems and questions :-)
a) After deploying a mapping or process flow i can execute them from OWB Deployment Manager. How can i schedule the execution of a deployed precess without using OWBDM ? (I want to execute a process every day to perform ETL).
b) I think i have a problem deploying cubes. I create a cube in OWB, the validation is OK, the deploment succeds, but if i look with OEMC in the tree in the Warehouse OLAP section no cube is created. Only the fact tabe is created. If i look to the scripts from the Pre Deployment generation results i found DDLs only for TABLE, INDEX, UNIQUE KEY, FOREIGN KEY and ANALYZE object types, meanwhile during a dimension deployment i found also a DDL for the DIMENSION type object. WHY ?
c) If I look in the procedures of the new created OWB Runtime Target Schema I found 3 procedures which are in error and when I try to compile them I receive the following error messages :
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_CUBE
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWCUBELOAD_SPEC' must be declared
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION_GENUK
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
How can solve this problem? Is there any link with the fact that the cube is not generated?
d) When I first acces the deployed DIM in the OEMC tree I receive a message saying that the dimension does not have complete metadata as needed for use by Oracle OLAP services (because is created either in an earlier version of Oracle database or it was created by an an other application than OEMC) and OEMC automatically generates the default needed metadata. Is this normal ?
I work in an environment with
- Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.1.0
- Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
- Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Products 9.2.0.2.8

Some problems and questions

I have some problems and questions about my MSI MEGA PC 180 system...
One problem is that MSI live monitor only works one time after every new installation then is just say "The URL is invalid" every other time I try to search for updates.
One problem is that one of the fans doesn't turn off when I turn of the computer and the only way to get i to turn off is to turn on the hifi mode and turn it off then the fan stops. And some times the fan can start after a while when the computer has been turned off.
There are two fans for the cooling of the CPU but PCALERT only shows the speed of one of them.. why? according to the manual one of the is called CPU fan and the other one is called sysfan but only CPU fan showes i PCALERT.
Are there no other way to control the Tv other than with the Home Teather system than I find way to slow if you use 1280x1024 resolution on the screen like I do. And are there no way to sort and remove channels in home teather? As i is now I can't move the channels in the order I want and I can't remover channels that the auto search thaught was channels but aren't?
An other thing that I find annoying is that the fullscreen mode of home teather doens't cover all off the screen it doesn't hide the systray and leaves a small but annoying kolumn to the right that showes the backgrund and that is very annoying to watch tv if you have a light backgrund because the kolumn are so bright.

Welcome Kabbo,
I see you agree that MC III is far from perfect. Perhaps you can try the combination of Media Portal and Ir2Key. Just read some of the other posts including "WinIRX.ocx internals/usage" by ddookie. Another possibility is to try Dscaler, but this program is only for watching TV.
Regarding the processor fans: its normal that only one of the two shows up in PcAlert; when you look closely to both fans you'll see that one has only a two-wired connection.
The problem of a fan not shutting down is new to me, I suppose you have checked the connections to your mobo?
Greetz,

Belle alarm clock problem

Hi!
I noticed an other problem (or it is not?). I verified this on my nokia 701 and nokia 700 both Belle FP1 updated.
The problem is the alarm clock. IF THERE IS DARKNESS the alarm does not show on the screen and you are not able to turn it off, and you can not even unlock your phone to turn the alarm off. The only way is to have light in the room, and that is not acceptable for me.... the old nokia 5800 had the screen lit and you could turn off the alarm....
Anyone have any solution on this?!? Thanks

Oj, just relax and buy another phone, that's exactly what Nokia wants! I did so after 3 times sending back my N73 for various defects (keys, display, camera), then took a E65 for 2 years (which is far better, but not perfect, worked after 1 time exchange with a faulty SIM card reader), now I have a N82 which I had to exchange 6 (six) times for not having several stuck keys, scratches on the display, dust inside the display. This N82 now "only" makes strange noises when pressing keys like double-sided adhesive tape not properly fixed. Nokia knows about that problem (asked today in a shop). They fix it, but can't guarantee it getting better.
So... just sit back, relax, and throw all your expectations about quality from Nokia over board, learn how to be happy for getting some (mostly useless) answer from the support at all, and never think you could get a masterpiece of a working phone from Nokia if you pay them 'only' 400 bucks.

Is it safe for iPhone to run alarm clock app and be on all night, every night?

Is it safe for the screen to be on all night every night running an alarm clock app? Yes it is plugged in and charging.

I use the builtin alarm clock app all the time without any problems.
I don't plug the iPhone in because it appears to use very little battery while it is sleeping.

Alarm clock problems

I've been having problems with my alarm clock lately; even though all of my date and time settings are correct, the alarms that I have set for multiple days do not go off when I set them to. More often than not, they go off an hour before they're supposed to. I've tried testing it by creating an alarm for the next minute that has no repeat, and it works just fine. So I'm a little confused here.
This has only been going on since Monday morning 3-28. Before then, it worked fine. I updated my software to iOS 4.1 that afternoon, but it hasn't made a difference.

I'm having the same exact issue and I'm oversleeping a lot because of it! I've been searchin everywhere for help, but to no avail. Have you been able to fix the issue?

Alarm Clock, Mail and TextFree With Voice

Alarm Clock:
I woke up this morning on my own 19 minutes late because my alarm didn't go off! I RELY on that thing to get me up in the morning! When I checked it, it was going off in silent mode but the volume was all the way up and there were no headphones connected... I always make sure that the volume is up on everything, being that every app has it's own volume setting now >:(, every night before I go to bed...
Mail:
I'm trying to delete my bulk mail and it's loading only so many at a time. One loading period will pull up maybe nine and the second loading period will load up five. And sometimes, when I highlight mail to delete them, they disappear before I even click delete...
TextFree With Voice:
I am getting told by a few people that I'm not answering their calls, but it's not my fault being that it's not notifying me that someone is calling nor does it show up in my recent calls (missed calls) until maybe 30 minutes AFTER they call... In fact, it's STILL not showing me a certain recent call and I know for a fact that this person called me because it's the only number I gave them...
Oh and in addition to these problems (would have went to a different forum for this but it took me 5 minutes to even get this far)... Does anyone else have a problem with their iPod Touch 4G home button? Ever since I've gotten it, it seems like I have to press and hold or just press harder than any recent iPod Touch generation would require...

Well it could be a firmware issue with the router.. Try updating the router with a latest firmware from the cisco website.
And also try using the iPhone 4 with any other network like (Hotspot or Cafe) and see if the voice does work over there or not.
Also regarding the E1000 router , Try to change the wireless channel on the router you can try with channel 6 , 9 or 11 and then observe the iPhone connection. It could be an interference issue.

Alarm clock problem after Sync with N73

I have a problem with the alarm clock in my N73 (RM-133). From the moment on I had my phone synchronized with Outlook via Nokia PC Suite, the alarm clock fails to start the phone from power-off state - it switches on, and then the software crashes. A working alarm clock can only be restored by formatting the phone with *#7370# and therefore losing all settings and data.
Another thing that can be seen is that, after a Sync, if I set the alarm clock, turn off the phone, immediately turn it on again, the alarm clock is still set to its time, but the alarm symbol (the little bell) is no longer displayed.
I have absolutely no idea what the reason may be. It can not be incompatible installed apps, as the problem also occurs after a total reset without changing any setting in the phone. I have already once changed my hardware on warranty. I am always using the latest (unbranded original Nokia) FW available, same goes for PC Suite. Any ideas?

Oj, just relax and buy another phone, that's exactly what Nokia wants! I did so after 3 times sending back my N73 for various defects (keys, display, camera), then took a E65 for 2 years (which is far better, but not perfect, worked after 1 time exchange with a faulty SIM card reader), now I have a N82 which I had to exchange 6 (six) times for not having several stuck keys, scratches on the display, dust inside the display.

17" beeping like an alarm clock over and over...

My powerbook just started beeping like an alarm clock the tonight, and wouldn't stop till i shut it down....
but it seems otherwise ok
What the heck?

I ran tech tools, and hardware is ok... BUT
You know what's AWESOME????? I ran tech tools, then wondered why I got a kenel panic instead of a restart... over and over. So i searched on here and found out that my applecare techtools in NOT Tiger friendly???!!! AAAAHHH! When you "fix" the volume structure, it mean "fix" like tony soprano means it.
I'm on the phone with applecare right now, but it looks like i got rid of my cockroach problem by burning the house down.
WHAT A DISASTER.
thanks for your help, though it looks like i'm in trouble deep...

Any indicators for 3rd party Radio alarm clock docks and iPhone 5?

Has Apple created any guidelines for the iPhone 5 when using an older radio alarm clock dock, using the lightning to 30 pin adapter ? My iPad is no problem, but my iPhone 5 (when I have it in hand) might be. Any ideas?

For Apple to see this you need to repost it at

PlayBook .. problem and question

hi
I have a problem and a question
the problem is i connect my bold 9700 with the playbook by the bridge. it connected sucsseful and i can open the files, messeges, notes, calendar.. etc. the problem is the bbm cant opened. it stuck in the loading wheel screen. i wait for more than 30 min. but nothing happened.
the bbm version is 5.0.3.22
the bridge in the bold is 1.0.0.83
the playbook software is 1.0.3.1868
thanks

Well, I'm surprised that this is playing you up. Anyway, before doing anything else I'd try deleting ALL bluetooth associations on the BB and the PB, uninstall the Bridge App. Reboot both devices and try again. You never know...
If it STILL doesn't work:
I'd suggest a couple of things.
1 - I'm running 6.0.0.534 with no trouble - give that a go. Backup first, obviously.
2 - Try installing and connecting the Bridge before you restore all of your data and apps. If it works, then restore and try again.
I'm working on the assumption that either that particular OS is causing trouble (unlikely), or that there is something on your phone that is meddling with the Bluetooth connection somehow.
Good luck!

Alarm Clock Problem

My alarm clock used to work correctly, but within the last two weeks, the only way to get it to turn off is to snooze it, turn off the phone, turn the phone back on, and then turn off the alarm (in the edit options of the alarm settings). The slide to the right option (to turn off the alarm, not snooze it), does not work, it only slides the screen to the right and the alarm continues to go off.

Hello, valmichele14.
Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test to see if the unable to dismiss behavior persists.

T30 Problems and Questions

Ok I have a T30 that I do not know what could cause the problem and thought I could post the question here and see what other users could recommend trying.
First off all Keyboard functions work properly.
Second the power button and such works properly
Now the led lights for power, hard drive activity, battery indication, these do not work.
I think the power button and these LED's are on the same board, although I could be wrong. But it just seems odd that none of the LEDs including the ones on the lower side of the display are working.
Any ideas on what could cause this? Anything I can check? All assistance greatly appreciated.

It's been years since I've last opened a T30. And even back then, I was not playing around with the fuses.
To make one thing perfectly clear: these fuses are *NOT* meant to be user replaceable and you're looking at a board level repair involving components that are beyond tiny. Unless you're very experienced with a soldering iron, you may just want to get a replacement board or an entire barebone T30...at today's prices, that's what I would do.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

E50 problems and questions

Hello, I have a few questions aboyt e50.

- the multi task doesnt work ... i tried to upgrade the software...but the same problem
- and the last question is:
how to activate PTT? is says to check the settings...but i dont know these settings.
thanks.
Message Edited by alexrose on 26-Jan-2008 01:37 PM

You cannot increase the font size of S60 3rd edition handsets as it is not a feature they support, you can however download an application called font magnifier from Nokia Software Market http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com
You unfortunatlye cannot get WLAN for the E50-1 either as there needs to be hardware support for this feature too. The E50-1 was the entry level Eseries handset more voice centric therefore no 3G or Wi Fi.
As for the multi tasking, all S60 devices support multi tasking, simply hold down the menu key to open task bar, if you need to minimize an app and keep it running in the backround, simply press the menu key once when in that app, do whatever you need to then hold down the menu key again and select your previous app from the task bar to continue!
PS: Don't keep to many apps running to prevent slowness and?or freezing

Udev kernel 2.6 boot problems and questions

Hello there.. During these days I'm trying to install a new linux kernel. I have the insane Idea of installing an old kernel. I compiled the "new" old kernel and I can't manege to get it to work efficently..
I keep receiving a message this message during the boot.
Failed to start udev Kernel Device Manager
Although I followed the requirements for undev related to the kernel 2.6
Why am I trying to install and older kernel? Well, the my reason is simple: my laptop keyboard that it's so annoying.. Every once and then it's not recognized at boot and it force me to reboot the system even for 4 or 5 times consequintely..
With the kernel 2.6 I never had such problems and so I thought It was worth trying..
Another interesting question that keep coming to my mind is related to the kernel that it's been update after pacman -Syu.
I notice that in /usr/src there is a a new directory eithe the new kernel called linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH, well if I try to build the kernel inside thi directory I get a message
linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH]# make
scripts/Makefile.build:44: /usr/src/linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH/arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-3.9.5-1-ARCH/arch/x86/syscalls/Makefile'. Stop.
make: *** [archheaders] Error 2
The linux-headers are seems to be correctly installed to me...
Any Idea or explanation or suggestion would be very appreciated.
Thank you

Arch userspace is too new to survive with an older kernel. This isn't going to end well for you.
If you want your keyboard to function properly, I suggest you file bugs against the relevant parties and work with them to get actually get it fixed rather than go down this bizzare rabbit hole.
edit: even our LTS kernel (3.0.x) is too old for Arch userspace.
