Anyone finding it more difficult to type words on the iPhone4 vs iphone3?

We've recently migrate about ten folks from the iPhone3 to the iPhone4.
Getting feedback that it is more difficult to accurately type words on the iPhone4 than what was experienced on the iPhone3. Some of the direct comments are listed below. Is anyone seeing the same issues?
"It's way harder to type correctly on this new phone? I'm having a terrible time getting words spelled right. I have to slow way down to even come close."
"Truthfully, I type three word and look at my screen and it's three wrong words with no spaces between them. If i slow down, stare at the screen and type with deliberately, like when I first got an iphone a couple years ago, I can get it write, mostly. If I type anywhere near normal, like I did on my last phone, it's just a jumble of letters."

Yes, and I think I know what the problem is. The iPhone 4's touch screen is more sensitive than the previous models. The 3Gs' touch detection was spot-on IMHO. The i4 is more sensitive and to confirm this yourself just slowly get closer and closer to screen over button and you will notice that it will register a click and/or touch before your finger makes contact. I am not 100% positive but this could be adding to the Proximity Sensor woes as well. Maybe not causing it but definitely making it worse. I hope Apple can turn down/tune the capacitance touch screen a bit along with the prox-sensor fix in next release.

When I type words into the http box I get Yahoo in German, and I want Google in English. How do I change that? (my IP address is in Germany)

I am on the run from Chrome, and have just installed Windows 7 (64bit version). I have the Google search box (top right) as well as the Navigation toolbar - if I type some words into the Nav Toolbar the options are given to me in Yahoo Germany, and I can find no way of changing that at all. I don't use Yahoo, and I want to go to a UK or a US site. No add-ons are enabled. The PC is in Germany (and therefore has a German IP address)

You can modify the pref <b>keyword.URL</b> on the <b>about:config</b> page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".

Advertisements cover up some of the script on the page and when I type words into the search box, the letters are only half way visible

On my home page in the Google search box, when you type words the letters are cut off on the bottom. Also advertisements are on top of writing or things I want to see on web pages.

If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is ''none'') as a too high value can cause issues like you described.

New Airport express 11n more difficult to set up than the 11g

just got new AX 802.11n but find difficulty to set up network with my PC, the old AX 802.11g had no problem.
the differences I could see from PC network when scanning AX network is security set up to WAP2 not WEP as I did setting in AX.
Any advise would be very appreciated, thank you.

Hold on a minute...
Now I'm confused. I have DSL with a modem supplied by the provider (TDS). The Modem connects to my computer via ethernet cable. i was assuming if I plug the ethernet cable from my DSL modem INTO my Airport express- then I have created a wireless connection for internet for the computer as well as other computers that come into the house. Is this not so?
thanks for any clarification you can provide.

When using Edit Find, I can only type 3 or 4 letters in the Find bar before the letters start disappearing. If I copy/paste a word into the Find bar all the letters will be there. Has anyone else had this problem?

The Find bar opens OK with Edit/Find. I start typing in a word there but it will only allow 3 letters before they disappear and my next keystroke appears. I can copy/paste a whole word or string of words into the Find bar and all the letters remain.

See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My trackpad is freaking out. It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it. It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words

My trackpad is freaking out. It is clicking constantly, sluggish, won't let go of things once it's 'grabbed' it. It's been happening for 24 hours on and off, and right now it's so bad it's difficult to type because the curser keeps jumping back words. To my knowlege nothing's happened to the machine. I've checked for updates and there hasn't been any trama or anything. Is this a known problem with trackpads? What can I do? If I bring it down to the store will they need to replace the machine?
Advice?

I usually use my laptop while lying in bed, so it's tilted at odd angles. I've just noticed that this problem happens when I'm in that position but when I put the laptop on a table or even just sit up and use it's fine. ***.

Is there an icon for face time on the iphone4s home screen? I remember I saw it before but not any more. I still have the FaceTime app,but would like to find the icon on the home screen again. Anyone can help?

Check all of your folders to see if FaceTime is in any of them.
If not, check your restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) and if restrictions are on, and you know the passcode, then FaceTime might be turned off. Turn ON to veiw icon on home screen.
Let me know if this does/doesnt work.

When I type word to search in the Find box, Firefox will jump to the first grouping of letters it recognizes. I have to click back in the find box to continue typing my word. How can I make this stop?

I wanted to search for the word "medieval" on a web page. I started typing the word in the Find box. After I had typed "med", Firefox put the cursor on the word "medicate" in the web page. I have to click back in the Find box to continue typing my word. This is extremely annoying because sometimes I have to click back in the Find box after every letter.

Thanks for responding Chris.
I hadn't restarted after disabling SearchMenu. Having restarted, it would appear that the problem was, in fact, SearchMenu. Which was my suspicion. Once Find highlights a "word" SearchMenu interrupts to offer its services. I guess I'll post on their board, to see if there's a solution.
I should have restarted before posting. My apologies. Rookie move.
Thanks again, Chris.

Is AirPort on the motherboard + more difficult question

Hi,
My basic question is this: is the Airport on the motherboard of the iMac (intel 2,4 GHz, core duo).
In other words: I sent my iMac to service, they said they changed the motherboard, but the computer still has the same problem AND it has the same MAC address. Is there something fishy going on?
There is also a second question, probably more difficult. I have a new iMac, as above. Straight from the box, it had the following problem. When I open Safari and type some text into a form, the computer hangs every sentence or so. When it hangs, it displays a beach ball, and then puts the typed text into a buffer, which is emptied out onto the screen after one or two seconds. This problem occurs also in, say, TextEdit, and the Finder, and also on other programs that I install.
I have not found something similar. I went through reinstalling the system, and then gave the computer (brand new) back to warranty repair. They held it for a month (yes!, in Warsaw Poland), and then gave it back to me today, saying that they exchanged the motherboard.
The problem, however, has not gone away. So I am really mad: I have a brand new iMac, does not work, I give it to service, they keep it for a month, and it is still broken. Due to the unchanged MAC address, I suspect that the warranty people have lied to me and not done anything. Is this true?
Hope for some help,
Mikolaj

Well you can start by doing at least the things you can do and if that doesn't work you need to call Apple.
1. Disk Utility- Open up Application/Utilities/Disk Utility select your hard drive on the left, click on Repair Disk Permissions and then Verify Disk.
2. Apple Hardware Test- insert the original install disk that came with your iMac, reboot and hold down the "d" key. Run the extended test.
3. If all of the above is not helpful then I would go ahead and erase and re-install the OS from your original install disk and see if you are still having the problem. Make sure to backup any files you need to save first.
If the problem is still there then it's time call Apple.

Is there a way to remove one or more words in the dictionary list of auto-completion?

Is there a way to remove one or more words from the dictionary list of auto-completion?

Hi Gordon,
Auto-completion does not involve the dictionary. The process is dynamic, and remembers the text string you have entered into each cell. The auto completion list is constructed using data you have entered into cells above the one you are currently working with. Suggestions presented contain the same character string as a previous entry in that column. Editing the list presented is not possible.
Auto-Correction does involve the spelling dictionary. It monitors the text as you type. If it finds an 'unregognized word,"' AND has more than one suggestion as to the 'correct' word, it opens a dialogue, giving you a chance to choose one of the suggestions, enter your own corection, or to accept the current spelling. If there is only one suggestion offered, Auto-correction automatically replaces the unrecognized word wth that suggestion.
Regards,
Barry

Digital signatures getting more difficult

I'm sure there are good reasons for the changes, but from my viewpoint digital signatures in Acrobat are becoming less convenient with each new version I try.
I make extensive use of invisible signatures, with a number of people required to invisibly sign each document. In Acrobat 5.05 it was a breeze, either using a menu option or the dropdown in the signatures panel (my preferred method). Deleting a signature field was equally convenient. Just right click the field and delete it.
In Acrobat 7, the menu and dropdown options disappeared and one has to go through a bunch of screens to get there. Not terrible, but less convenient. Also, documents created using Acrobat 5 or 7 could be signed using either version as long as the document was created using Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) compatibility. For deletion, signature fields must be cleared first, and only then can they be deleted. In both cases, creating invisble signatures and deleting signature fields, there are more steps in Acrobat 7 than in Acrobat 5.05. I can live with it, but it seems like reverse progress to me.
Now I am trying to help my boss use Acrobat 10 to invisibley sign documents created using Acrobat 7 and already invisibly signed by others using Acrobat 7 and Acrobat 5.05. If there's a way to do it, I can't find it. I suppose I could create a blank signature graphic, but that seems silly. Neither can I find any way to delete signature fields. I can clear them, but not delete them.
I'm guessing that the changes to digital signature functionality have something to do with making signed PDFs more secure and more difficult to tamper with, but I find it hard to believe that can't be accomplished without losing so much functionality.
I need to be able to have multiple invisible signatures and the capability to remove signature fields, and I need to be able to do it in Acrobat versions 5.05, 7, and X for documents created using any of those versions. If anyone knows how it can be done, please let me know.
Thanks.

What viewer are you using for showing the PDF?

Hi there,
I use visual studio community 2013 to develop app for office. When I create app project using template and directly run it, it shows me this error: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Hi holm0104,
Did you add custom code into the project? Can you reproduce the issue in a new project without custom code?
If not, did you have issue when you create a normal web application?

Does anyone know how to change where incoming (via mail) calendar requests go on my MacBook? Mine insist on going to Entourage, which I don't use any more. I've tried setting the default calendar in iCal preferences. Doesn't help. Bugs me. Can you help?

I know this email is confusing and really hard to understand...perhaps now you will know how i've been feeling--lost and confused with all the mis-information, with a hit and miss phone, and out of time with all the 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs EACH wasted on this issue.
On top of all this, I can't even find out how to file a complaint with anyone higher up than Customer Service.
I hate to tell you this, but you didn't write an email. You wrote a discussion post on the Verizon Wireless Community forum which is a public peer to peer forum. Unfortunately since you didn't mark your post as a question, the VZW reps that roam this community won't ever see your post. Before you re-post it, don't. Duplicate posts get removed from the community.
I see there were several missteps both by the reps and yourself in your post. First you should have insisted on returning the phone within the 14 day return policy period. Second which Samsung Galaxy mini model did you purchase? The S3 mini or the S4 mini? Did you do any research prior to deciding on this device. The reps at that time deflected the easiest course of action, by trying to get you to replace the phone under insurance instead of returning the phone. The Early Edge payment option requires the current phone on the line using the early Edge must be returned to Verizon Wireless. Did you once considered going to a third party site like Swappa to purchase a gently used device for your daughter?

How to find out more info about an existing fault

Hi there,
The whole village of Luib on Skye has been cut off because the main road was being resurfaced and the machine digging up the tarmac ripped up and mangled the main phone cable on 30th March. (Not the road menders' fault, but BT's because they never buried the cable properly. In fact, they didn't bury it at all, just hid it in the verge.)
I have logged the fault on my line and can get a standard amount of info using the online fault tracker. The thing is that all that's available is a standard message saying the phone is expected to be fixed in 3 working days. We (the villagers) don't think this is likely: It's happened before and BT need to order up a supply of the thick cable AND arrange traffic lights etc. We fear it's more likely to be a couple of weeks at best.
How can we find out more useful information? I tried phoning BT and pressing various buttons, just got the standard fault info, then was asked if I wanted to continue. When I pressed 2 for "yes" a voice said "Thank you for calling BT - Goodbye." That wasn't the sort of continuation I wanted!
I have to say that we are heartily sick of the poor treatment we get here on Skye. BT seem to think that because we in a remote place we are not a priority. But consider this: Luib has both private houses and businesses, including mine, that need a phone service and broadband, credit card faciilities etc. and WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MOBILE PHONE SIGNAL. This means we are totally cut off. What if there is a medical emergency?
OK: Rant over. But can anyone suggest how I might escalate this and/or find out some solid information. If it turns out there's a wait of a couple of weeks is there any way of putting pressure on to speed things up?
Many thanks.

Anyone find a good looking Terminal app for retina MBPs?

When I compare the appearance of Terminal fonts on the rMBP to non-retina MBPs or the MBA I actually prefer the look on the latter, because retina scaling means the display is always doing the equivalent of anti-aliasing the fonts. This makes the resulting fonts fatter and bolder on retina displays, actually making the text somewhat fuzzier and more difficult to read than the razor-sharp display of Terminal windows on non-retina displays.
Has anyone found a way around this, or is fat "bold"-looking Terminal window text just a necessary consequence of the retina display drivers not mapping one font pixel to one on-screen dot at anything other than (non-Apple supported) 1:1 resolution?
Here's what I mean by razor sharp non-retina Terminal display, taken from a 13" MBA:
Simulated retina looking Terminal window generated by anti-aliasing:
Is iTerm2 any better at this?

To answer my own question, it appears iTerm2 is capable of producing nice, sharp Terminal window text when antialiasing is shut off where toggling it seems to have no apparent effect in OS X's Terminal.app. :(
