Any solution yet to the C3 display flaws?

From what I understand, there is no way to adjust the brightness of the display, nor change the time that it takes for the device to drop into sleep mode. First of all, I don't understand why Nokia decided that customers shouldn't be able to change these. The display is so awfully bright, it physically hurts my eyes. The sleep mode timer is so horribly short that I have to press random buttons all the time just to keep the light from going out. Now, I heard a rumour that it is actually possible to change these by hacking the device with the help of a PC. Is there any truth to this? How can it be done? Other than that, is there any hope that we will see these options made available to us in some future firmware update, or does Nokia adamantly believe that it is a good idea to deny us the ability to customise our phones? I'm seriously considering returning the C3 to the store, because of that frustrating flaw.

True or false it's against the rules to discuss any form of hacking here as that voids the warranty. Try elsewhere for that.
If you would like a comment from nokia about these "issues" you need to contact them using the "contact us" link near the top or bottom of this page.

Are you looking for the serial number or the IMEI? If the phone was active on your Verizon acount, Verizon can give you the IMEI.

Any solutions yet with noise issu

Has anyone found a solution yet with the audigy?2 platinum crackling, static and popping issue? I find this is obviously not a top priority with creative, as they continue to release new products with the same problem. I've been searching everywhere for about a year now and have yet to find a solution. If someone knows something I don't, plese reply?Thanks

gufemur,
A theory and a possible solution to the snp problem is offered in this thread. See especially the posts by Rooster.

I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since. I was making it thru the day with about 75% left. Now it's only 3:30 pm, andI'm at 50%. Any solutions, yet!

I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, and now my battery life has really deteriorated since.I was making it thru the day with about 70% battery life left. It is now 3:30 and I'm already down to 50%. The upgrade worsened my situation. Any help out there?

I had the battery problem. I upgraded the to iOS 5.0.1 last night and at least that problem seems to have been fixed. However, the problem with no audio on phone calls remains. Have not tried swapping the SIM card yet. The ATT guy says that they have resolved 90% of the no audio issues with a new SIM card. Not sure athat what has to do with anything but will try that first before requesting a replacement phone.

Headless mac mini - no airplay mirroring in ML. Any solutions yet?

Hi to the masses.
I have recently purchased a new (well mid 2011) mac mini. I gave up waiting for the 2012 model!!... anyway. I have it configured as a headless server and as such is working perfectly well, that is with the exception of not being able to Airplay Mirror with Mountain Lion (10.8.2) to either of my 3rd gen ATVs.
After playing around with it for quite a while i managed to work out that if it is connected to a display it will airplay mirror perfectly well, but if it doesn't have a display attached the image that is received by the ATV is garbled with flashing neon colours.
Looking through the web i then discovered it's a commen fault with the mini, a design flaw even, but i can't seem to find any solution for it.
Maybe i should also mention it was purchased configured with Lion, not mountain lion, but i did do a complete reformat and clean install right from the start (and again since to see if it was just a screw up in the system). I have also tried resetting the SMC(?) and PRAM(?) (if those are the terms) but neither had any effect.
So i ask you all, has anyone cracked this nut? Is there a solution out there? Is there one coming (haha i had to ask) or do i return the mini to Apple and wait for the 2012/13 model to be released?
Any help would be appreciated.
(I'm sorry, I forgot to use a smiley in there somewhere... )

Judging from the other posts around the web, there are a few people who want to do this -- some of them have even posted that they are doing exactly what I am doing, with the same frustration. We want to use the Mini as a home media server, so it really doesn't need a display... except for those times when it needs a display. At those times, it would be nice to be able to send the image somewhere. Silly to have a nice display and never use it...
The other application (which, coincidentally, I also want to do) is have my Mini way over there, out of the way, and display it on my TV way over here, without having to actually *look* at the Mini sitting in front of my home theater.
Some folks have reported success in "fooling" the video chip into thinking a monitor is attached by plugging in a dummy plug (using simple resistors) to the video out. I've tried it on my late 2012 model, thus far without success. I'd love to know if anyone knows how to make a dummy plug that acts enough like an actual video load that it does fool the Mini video chip and allows the Airplay function to take place normally!
Thanks all
Chris

Google images only showing first page. Any solutions yet?

Hi
I've recently come across this problem of Google images only showing the first page of images with the rest being blank grey boxes.
After trawling the web for days it seems this has been an ongoing problem for many for several months now but I haven't seen any solutions that have worked for me.
I've cleared the cache and temp files, I've un-checked 'disable or replace context menus' on firefox etc.
It seems to run ok on ie8 but I prefer to use Firefox if at all possible.
Is there a solution out there?
I am on XP Pro sp3 using FF 3.6.11

This was happening to me (only getting one page of images after a search.) I disabled the AdBlock Plus ad-on and the problem was solved.

Is there any way to lock the HDMI display on one desktop?

Hello!
My Macbook Pro HDMI-connection to my TV works great -- the only thing I wasn't able to figure out is if it was possible to lock the HDMI display on one desktop. I use five different desktops (spaces) and I'm using extended desktop(s) for my HDMI, but every time I switch to another desktop, whatever I'm watching on my TV switches to the extended desktop for whatever space I just switched to, meaning that my TV switches to blank screens. Is there any way that, even if I continue switching through desktops on my computer, I can keep my HDMI locked on the extended space for "Desktop 1," for example?
Hope that makes sense. Thanks!
-Ryan

If you disable the "Change with buttons" setting, the buttons will still control the general volume (music, games, etc) but will NOT change the ringer or alarm sound settings (keyboard clicks also fall into this category but is not mentioned). This lets you use the volume up/down buttons to change the general volume level without changing the ringer and alarm volume levels...it keeps you from inadvertently turning down the ringer or alarm volume and missing calls and alarms.
That being said, there's no way to totally disable the volume up/down buttons from doing something volume related.

Bus noise on X-fi Extreme music for SCSI user....any solutions yet?

Hi there!
Some time ago i bought my X-fi extreme music card...and i have not been
able to use it properly yet !!!
My problem is: - I use a adaptec 2960N scsi controller in my system, wich i have all
my dri'ves and HD connected to. It use one PCI slot (slot ).
When i play any sound/music with the X-fi card and there is
"additional bus activity" (normally from HD) then the sound "scratch".
Done so far: (with no result)
- Change the card's PCI slot
- Update the latest creative driver
- Update the mainboard bios
- Change the ASPI settings
- Increase the X-fi latency for the PCI card
- Made sure the X-fi dont share IRQ with any other card
- Tested the X-fi card in another computer...and there it works BRILLIANTLY
(nforce 3..no scsi just ide)
System info: Epox Ep -9PDA+ Ultra Nforce 4
AMD X2 dual core 4400+ CPU
024 MB A-data DDR 500 RAM
Maxtor Atlas V Ultra60 SCSI HD
Geforce 7800 GTX
I've read that there are other SCSI users who expirence the same problem
as me on several net forums.
I've also asked Adaptec who have made my controller for a "driver" update,
but they say that the problem is the sound card so its therefore up to
creative to solve it.
I talked with a Creative representati've in Denmark who promised to forward
my problem, but nothing has happened yet?
Hope someone can solve this little "bugger",
Best wishes

Hello
I have a Adaptec 39320A-R SCSI Controller with some SCSI dri'ves.
I had ZERO problems with my previous AUDIGY 2 ZS. No noises or cracks or popping , at no time.
Now i have the crackles and pops / noises , when i listen to music and there is some harddri've activity.
I just can avoid it, by switching to audio creation mode, and enable "bit matched playback" in the options there, so it seems, it just is a "simple" software issue, that could be solved.
As soon as i switch to game mode or entertainment mode (regardless of all optimizations are turned on or off) , i get the annoying noises.
I hope there will be a good software update soon.

Any Solution to restrict the installation of crypto component

Hello,
According to US export control, DSEE 7 has a embedded a crypto component classified 5D002. so we sold the DSEE 7 with our product.
Is there any way to restrict the installation of this crypto components.

I'm assuming someone will be able to change these values (if authorised)...
So there are several ways..
The easiest is probably to check the values when saving an order. If the user isn't authorised to change these values, then an error message can be issued.
Have a look a user-exit IWO10009 (at order save event) via TCode SMOD
Also investigate PPCO0023 (Checks changes to components)

The deep traversal woes - any solutions yet

Maybe I should post this issue in the software forum, indeed I might. I was wondering if anyone has found a fix for the perpetual "preparing backup" issue? Before I return the TC, i want to make sure this can't be fixed by anything i can do.
i have had this issue with both versions of the firmware and erasing my backup every three days isn't a big vote of confidence to this new system.
cheers

Have you, or anybody, learnt anything on the deep traversal yet? TC been working fine for a few days & now were having a fit of the deep transversals!!!

Any solution yet for printing a border from the print menu HP?

I assume you are referring to:
+Menu > File > Print > Border: Single/Double Hairline/Thin+
Not something that I myself use, so I tested it and you are right it does not appear.
I tested it on a pdf.
The reason it doesn't show up is because it is underneath the white background of the page. This is a bug in the way pages are formed up by Pages. It also causes problems with watermarking pages.

Tell Apple about it. http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html

Any solution yet? MBP trackpad terrible in Boot Camp. Please rewrite the drivers.

Dear Apple,
The trackpad drivers for Windows under Boot Camp have been terrible ever since you removed the physical button from the trackpad.
It is ridiculous to try to do serious work when clicks are often misinterpreted as right-clicks, or else right-clicks are interpreted as something else. Under Lion, I can make it work ok to hold down 2 fingers and then to a physical click with my thumb. (Awkward -- a 2nd mouse button would be way better, but it's functional). Under Boot Camp and Windows, though, it's broken. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I'm considering returning my MBP for this simple little thing that you should be able to fix. Usually I carry my physical mouse around with me so I can actually have a right-button, but at the moment I'm sitting in a cafe in a chair with no room for the real mouse, and hence I'm feeling unproductive as so many of my clicks turn into something else.
I bought a MBP because I like the hardware, and I use Lion for a lot of things too, but I also do serious Windows development under Visual Studio.
People have been complaining about the trackpad drivers for years. Seriously, won't you fix it? If you need a consultant to help you do the software development, let me know. I don't have time to spend myself unless you want to hire me; it will be more productive for me simply to return this laptop or buy a 2nd laptop with actual buttons on the trackpad so I can do seirous work.
Maybe you could offer a version of MBP with 2 actual physical mouse buttons instead of the built-in crappy one.... I'm sure there's demand for it, at least to the population of your customers who use these awesome quad-core monster computers for serious work instead of writing emails and watching YouTube videos.
Sincerely,
Eric N.
P.S. I really hope Apple admits the problem and rewrites the trackpad drivers.
P.P.S. Additionally, please register a similar complaint about the lack of a physical forward-delete key on the laptop. The two huge, glaring mistakes with MBP are the lack of this simple key on the keyboard and the lack of reasonable mouse button options. Fn-delete is really annoying.

Just to update this post with the the same problem.
I also have the new Macbook Pro with SL and on Bootcamp XP installed. Everything
is working fine except the trackpad.
I´ve tried out the DVD the came with the origin Bootcamp (2.2 !), BC from SL-DVD
(3.0) and the brandnew Apple BC update 3.1.
Also tried to de-/reinstall, but trackpad´s still not working.
Anyone who could help us?

Safari Random Quit -- any solutions yet?

Safari 6 on 10.7 Lion has been randomly quitting on me for months now. There is no error report just this message in the Console:
Received an invalid message from the web process with message ID 323002f
I see that others are having the same problem with the exact same Console message. Has anyone figured out how to fix this yet or is it a bug?

Select Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them and test.
Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network. If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test.

TS3217 This song skipping bug on iPods has been around for years! Is there any solution yet?

I've tried resetting my iPods. (I've got 3 Classics, 2-80gb, 1-160gb) I've tried 256kbps, 190kbps, and 128kbps compression rates. All using AAC, all synced with a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion and the latest software for iTunes and the iPods. It doesn't seem to matter what I try, all three of the iPods have the issue- they'll be playing fine, then they randomly stop prior to the end of a song, and skip to the next one. The original songs are fine on the computer. I've tried syncing with a different computer that has a different backup drive storing the song. It still happens. I've deleted songs, downloaded them from iCloud, and it still happens. Is it just the iPod Classics, or does this happen on solid state iPods as well? Is there any sign of a fix? I've got over 12000 songs, and I'm kind of committed to this format, since Apple has pretty much killed all the portable music player competition.

I've been told by Verizon business team that Sumsung and Verizon are working on a fix. Of course, that could be one month or 12 months.
My wife and I have a Samsung S3 and Note II and both, on Jelly Bean have the same flaw. It's very frustrating. I carry with me an unlocked HTC and also Verizon Incredible 2. Since SIM Data plans are cheap enough in most countries, I just get additional SIM cards with a data plan and turn on the hotspot feature of these devices with I access from the S3 and NOTE II. Not ideal, but close enough for now.
In the UK, I am hoping the LTE capabilities will work (VodaFone UK is imminent).
