Any way to force my phone to ignore the neighbor's NE?

My neighbor, two doors down, got a network extender after experiencing the same lousy signal I have come to expect here at home.  We're in a dead area.  I get it.    That's not my complaint, as I know where to stand in my apartment to use the phone.
My complaint is that since the neighbor hooked up the NE, I am not getting reliable service, which worked fine for the most part up to this point.  Calls won't complete, either incoming or outgoing, and SMS messages are flaky at best.  Outgoing SMS have to be sent and resent until they go through, and incoming messages may take hours to shake through and hit my phone.  Before the NE was in his apartment, I could send and receive SMS at will as long as I had the faintest signal from the tower.  This is ridiculous.
Is there any way to either force his NE to deny service to my phone or force my phone (Galaxy Nexus) to ignore the NE and use the tower?  This is frustrating, to say the least, and I fear it's going to cause trouble between my neighbor and I as I'm trying to think of ways to disable the stupid thing without him knowing.
Please help me.

The only possible way is for your neighbor to change his network extender from open access to managed access. However, your phone won't ignore the network extender signal. It will prefer to standby on the network extender and switch you to the nearest compatible cell tower when you make calls, if no compatible tower is found it will allow calls on the network extender.
The only other option is for your neighbor to call Verizon technical support and have them lower the power output on his network extender. I just had the power raised on my network extender so I assume the opposite would be true as well.

  • Is there any way to force time machine to keep retrying after disk i/o error?

    a little background to my problem:
    i've had a hard drive problem previously, and i managed get all the data off of my mac by trying and retrying to access the same files and also from my working time machine backup. after zeroing out and reformatting my drive and doing a clean install of Mavericks i had everything back up running no problems.
    recently, my macbook pro would be stuck and slow in recently imported iphoto pics so i figured my hard drive is really failing this time around
    i try to get a time machine backup to save what i can, but after a couple of tries time machine would just stop backing up and in console i would see a disk i/o error.
    is there any way to force time machine to keep trying to backup through the disk i/o error so i can save what i can before getting a new drive?
    edit: a little more info, i know i have a harddrive error from looking at the console, but when i do a verify disk in disk utility it comes up clean and even after doing a disk repair it comes up clean i still see disk i/o errors in the console.

    Thee can also be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
    New files will be created when required.

    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

  • Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for identification rather than randomly?  Would provide better context for identification especially if a huge number of images is involved.

    Before I commit the time and energy required to load and tag faces in 25,000 images within iPhoto, I need some questions answered;
    Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for tagging rather than randomly?  When so many images need tagging, over many years, the context of a folder helps with the identification. The work around is to load the images into iPhoto one folder at a time and do the tagging then.
    How do I get iPhoto to present the tagged faces by last name rather than first name? When so many faces will be identified, it is much easier to find people by surname, particularly when I share the library within the family. The work around is to enter names as last name and first name.  Being able to toggle the sort is much more desireable.
    Is there a way to export a portion of the library including faces?  I want to pass on portions of this huge 125 GB library to my family members.
    Since my family members will need an Apple computer to view the images and faces, they will likely have their own photo library.  So is there any way to combine two libraries and merge the faces?
    About 2/3 of my images have been scanned, so the date of creation is the scanned date rather than the date the photo was taken.  Will this mess up any sequencing or the retrieval of faces?

    If I want to carve off part of a library, I presume the way to do this is to make a copy of the library using PLM then go into iPhoto and delete what I don't want.  The result is the carved off portion.
    You don't need Library Manager to delete the portion you don't want.
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    If I want to merge two libraries, PLM implies that it will do this but will the Faces be merged too?
    I believe so.

  • My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

    Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

    Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • Is there any way to force purchase an unsupported app?

    I'm currently stuck on OS X 1.7.5 since my MacBook Pro isn't compatible with anything more recent than that.
    However, I'll be upgrading to a new Retina MacBook Pro very soon and I'd like to purchase an OS X app that requires 10.8, since it's currently heavily discounted.
    Is there any way to force purchase it on my 10.7.5 system so that I'll be able to use it when I upgrade to a new Mac?

  • Is there any way to force Sun C++ Preprocessor preserve whitespace?

    Hello!
    I'm preprocessing simple source file:
    void test()
        int i;
    }with command: CC -E test.cpp
    and CC preprocessor eats all whitespace at the beginning of each line, like this:
    void test()
    int i;
    }Is there any way to force CC preprocessor preserve whitespace?

    You cannot use the C preprocessor on C++ code, for at least two major reasons.
    1. The default -I options in CC are not the same as for cc. Try adding
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    to your example.
    Even if you add the missing -I options, the conventions for finding the C++ standard headers are not known to the C preprocessor.
    Example:
    % cc -P -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/Cstd -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/cc z.c
    "z.c", line 2: cannot find include file: <cstdlib>
    cc: acomp failed for z.c2. The predefined macros (-D options and predefined macros built into the compilers) are different for cc and CC.
    In particular, the C compiler predefines macros saying it is a C compiler. The C++ compiler predefines macros saying it is a C++ compiler. Code that is conditionalized on whether it is compiled by the C or C++ compiler will give different results. If you add -D options for C++ macros, the results will depend on the way the tests are coded. That is, testing for a C compiler or a C++ compiler will not give mutually exclusive answers, as they would if you use the correct compiler. The Solaris headers have conditional code for C and C++.

  • IS THERE ANY WAY TO FORCE KEY COMMIT

    Hi:
    Is there any way in forcing when inserting/updating a record in a block to call KEYCOMMIT. For Example, if the user inserted/updated a record and before saving the user may quit the form. I would like to enforce the keycommit trigger to be called when the form is opted to close.

    Hello,
    Try the following in Key-Exit trigger:
    BEGIN
    IF :system.form_status = 'CHANGED' THEN
    DO_KEY('COMMIT_FORM');
    ELSE
    EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);
    END IF;
    END;

  • On a large monitor, the bookmarks toolbar is opening outside of the Firefox window itself - is there any way to force it to stay inside?

    Recently I installed Windows 7 on my computer, along with a device called a Triplehead2Go, which spoofs the operating system into thinking that the computer has one monitor attached (when it really has three). When the Firefox window is relatively small on the desktop and with excess space to the right, the bookmarks toolbar opens to the right (and extends outside of the window). This creates a problem for me, as the monitor bezels get in the way of navigation. When the Firefox window is all the way to the right of the desktop, the bookmarks toolbar opens inside of the window (as there is not enough space to the right for it).
    Is there any way to force this menu to stay within its boundaries?

    The screen dimensions are "right," but I don't want it to use up any more space on-screen than is in the window.

  • Af:fileDownloadActionListener - any way to force new browser session?

    Hi all
    I'm using af:fileDownloadActionListener to download a file.
    It works fine except for one thing:
    For some file types it does not open a new browser session but just replaces the existing page content.
    That's really ok by itself, but we have a problem if the users presses the browser Back Button to get back to the application.
    As we're using partial page rendering and af:region this will result in an error:
    Error 403--Forbidden
    From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
    10.4.4 403 Forbidden
    The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable
    So my question is: is there any way of forcing a new browser session to open when using af:fileDownloadActionListener?
    We're using JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0.

  • Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

    Hi,
    I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
    Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

    The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
    It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

  • Any way to force audio to stay on HDMI?

    Any way to force audio to stay on HDMI and not go back to Internal Speakers once the a/v receiver is off?
    To explain what is happening in more detail I have a mac mini hooked up to my TV and my computer monitor using an HDMI Distribution Amplifier. This way I can use the mac on my tv or at my desk. For some reason when the TV is shut off or if I switch the source of my desktop monitor to something else. The mac will go back to internal speakers. Is there any way to prevent this? I am assuming this is happening becuase the mac is losing the handshake with the monitor when I switch my source. If that is the case is there anything I can get to put before my DA that will make my mac think that something is always there?
    It would be more ideal if I can just permanently set the audio output to hdmi from within the mac itself though.

    The only really effective solution requires buying a Gefen HDMI Detective Plus this 'spoofs' the HDMI signal so the Mac thinks it is still there even if the AV receiver is turned off, or disconnected, or switched away from the Mac.

  • Disc in drive that Mini will not recognize, will not eject. Is there any way to force eject?  The computer says it's empty, but it's not.

    I have a disc in the super drive but cannot eject it because the Mini does not recognize that it's there. I've tried the eject button on top of the screen and in the dvd player controls. I wish there was an eject button on the machine. Is there any way to force eject?
    Thanks.

    RGA,
    Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

  • Is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords?

    As many have complained about, there is a growing trend for websites to prevent browsers, including Firefox, from remembering passwords. This is absolutely infuriating. Like most people, I have on the order of 100 passwords, and thanks to idiotic, overzealous IT guys who need to justify their own jobs, we are forced to constantly change them to ludicrous, impossible-to-remember combinations of symbols and numbers. (Does anybody really get their accounts stolen because some hacker sits down and tries to guess their password? Somehow I find that very, very hard to believe.)
    First world problems, I know. My question though is simple: is there any way to force Firefox to remember passwords? Perhaps an add-on or external program of some kind? I know there are password manager programs, but the last time I checked, those were all but worthless and didn't work as well as the built-in Firefox support for remembering passwords. Thanks for any help.

    hello andrew, yes you can either [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/remember-passwords/ install an addon] or [https://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#remember_password use a bookmarklet] to circumvent this restriction.
    in an upcoming version of firefox, this functionality will also be built-in directly into the browser: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/12/24/firefox-29-save-fill-autocompleteoff-passwords/
