Anyone getting small amount of service?

In a place where i typically get very good reception, seems since i got the iPhone 3G that i can't get anymore than one bar. I as just wondering if anyone else was having this problem?

What you're seeing is the 3g signal strength. The indicator changes based on whether it's displaying 3g, edge, or voice. Therefore it's possible to have one bar of 3g coverage while still having a full bars voice connection. The fastest connection you have access to is displayed over everything else. Try going into the bathroom where 3g coverage should drop off and you'll see it fail over to edge and show the bars for that network.

Anyone getting response from customer services?

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone had responses for customer services recently (ocss.msi.com.tw). Been trying to get latest bios for the X48C since still have post problems.
I used to have a login for bioses but that's changed. Obviously I wouldn't encourage anyone send new password..
Posted 8 days ago but still no reply. They used to reply within a day or two.
Cheers,
Wozzy

I made a post about 4 hours ago and received a reply just before, so yes - pretty quick too I must say.
Maybe they are investigating your request?

Is anyone getting the dreadful "No Service" on iOS 8? Weaker/no reception? iPhone 5 and up!

I am currently using an iPhone 5C and 4S. Upon updating from 7.1.1 to 8.0.2, both of my phone had literally been useless indoors now! I used to get a nice 3-4 bars within the comfort of my room to No Service. This is ridiculous by all means. I have to go to the backyard every now and then to make sure I get the texts that I need and to make calls.
I had:
- Reset Network Settings
- Replaced sim card
- Restored phone as new on iTunes
- Soft reset
- Confirmed with carrier to make sure I wasn't blocked or anything
None of those had worked since I'm by no means a newbie at this. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. I am at my ends wit. If an Apple Genius happens to stumble upon this, I am currently out of Apple Care and hope you guys would be able to take a look at it and give me a response free of charge. This is definitely on the software side and iOS 8.0.2 didn't fix the cellular issue.
Thanks!

I Updated my iPhone 4 and now have no service at all.
have also tried the restore and reset network options but no good.
i Have tried a few different SIM cards but it's the same on all networks.
i Wish Apple would at least try to fix these issues.
its very frustrating not having a phone. I think I will go back to using my htc and
give up with these iPhones. There are always issues with an update

Anyone know how to contact anyone in Verizon headquarters? Since I'm not getting anywhere with Customer Service

I'd like to express how unsatisfied we have been with Verizon on an issue that has been ongoing now since March 14, 2014. It involves an upgrade on one of our lines. After all these months, phone call with customer service, Tech support, and visits to a Verizon stores, I would hope that there are ample notation on our acct but since I've had to explain the situation on a bi-weekly time frame, I would assume that no one has documented any contacts.
We've been with Verizon for few yrs now and I have always been very satisfied with Verizon who, up until now , always provided excellent customer service in their knowledge, concern, and customer satisfaction. But I have to say, every positive outlook I've had with your company has been wiped clean with the worst service we have received in the last few months.
We upgraded my daughter's phone on 03-14-14 with a Samsung Galaxy Mini from an Iphone 4s. Within 24 hrs, the phone failed. After 2 visits to a Verizon store the next day which took 6 hrs, we still had to return the next day to speak to a manager. The 2 stores advised us to make a CLAIM on the defective phone thru our insurance plan with Verizon. A CLAIM on a 24 hr old phone!! A 3rd visit with a manager finally convinced him to replace the phone with another new phone at the store. Within 2 weeks - issues began to occur with the replacement phone. Several visits more, several calls more with Customer Service, several calls more with tech support which adds up to soooo many of our time taken up to simple have temporary "fixes" is outrageous. If I billed Verizon for my time, perhaps the situation would have been resolved more quickly. Each visit lasts approx 2 hrs, each phone call approx 1-1 1/2 hrs. We are talking at least 2x a month for the course of 5 1/2 months. Plus the time it takes to get the phone back to where she needs it - contacts, apps, internet.
Not once were we offered a new phone or replace the phone. Not until today. Replace the phone with the same phone that my daughter has grown to hate. So basically a 3rd phone - same phone. She is not interested in this phone any longer. She dealt with this phone model for far too long.
Today we were offered to replace the phone with same phone, or pay for a refurbished Iphone 4. So basically she would be going back to her original Iphone 4s before the upgraded WITH a cost. So her upgrade was wasted, we'd paid over $200 for a defective phone, and would need to pay for an even older model Iphone 4 and have to pay for it. Why wasn't she offered a different phone within those 30 days after the upgrade and 6 visits?
Every rep at the stores, every rep in tech support would provide a different reason for the issue. Finally, tech support advised not to download apps. WHAT GOOD IS A SMARTPHONE IF YOU CAN'T HAVE APPS??? We are talking about a 20 yrs college student who attends school in another state. Do you know the trouble she has to go thru to visit a store? To find 2 hrs between being a full time student with 2 jobs to sit on the phone with a tech support or go to a Verizon store? Once-ok Twice-maybe BUT for 5 months?
She's not eligible for an upgrade. She will be stuck with a phone that she had grown to hate. And I with customer service which I've grown to hate.
Finally, The Edge. Trying to find a way to make my daughter happy, I spoke with 4 representative today about the Edge. Each rep gave me 4 different information. 1st rep advised Edge phone could not be used on another line so I could not use a line eligible for the Edge and give that phone to my daughter since she isn't eligible for the Edge. 2nd rep advised that although new phone thru edge must be used by same number that it was eligible for, we could use the current phone o that line for my daughter. My son currently has an Iphone 5 and is eligible for the Edge early upgrade. He would not have to return his Iphone 5 so my daughter could use it. However, all the lines would have to go to the More Everything Plan and share the Data between all our phone lines. 3rd rep advised the cost would almost double from our current $358 to go to the More Everything Plan so suggested to have 2 accounts vs just 1. 4th rep advised not every line needs to go the More Everything Plan, we could not keep the current phone, and my daughter could get a replacement phone but same phone or made exception to offer the Edge early upgrade to my daughter but only after we go thru the replacement program because the phone we send to Verizon has to be in good working order/no defects.
After 5 1/2 months, it is now Verizon that is indicating that we have a defective phone and can't accept it thru the Edge program or we would get billed approx $299 for a defective phone. After 5 1/2 months of me calling in about a defective phone that not one rep replaced because they "fixed" the problem ( by the way, a temporary fix is not fixing, if it was fixed I would have made those calls today or writing this email), I am now being told her phone is defective. She advised to get a replacement phone first, return the old phone, activate the new phone, then call in to get the Edge early upgrade. So my daughter would have to do all this, plus add contacts back, apps and whatever else she needs to use her phone just to turn around a couple weeks later and do it all over again with the new phone thru the Edge program. Once again, we are the ones having to be inconvenienced and go thru all these steps. Did I mention she is going to be studying abroad in Italy beginning Nov? So the idea of having to wait 2-3 weeks for a new phone and having only a week or 2 to test the phone to make sure it's working properly before she's out of the country doesn't sound appealing to me. Verizon has made us have a defective phone for 5 months advising it's in good working order after each and every "fix" but Verizon will not accept that phone if returned in the same condition as a phone in good working condition. Do you see the irony in that?
I have reached my limit and after 5 yrs of my brother in law trying to convince us to switch to AT&T where he works in their Corporate Office, I can honestly say I will not be sad to leave Verizon. Especially when one of your reps simply provided me with the contract end dates to provide to AT&T because they offered to buy out our contract. No effort in customer retention what so ever. That was a phone call on Thursday.
And yes, one of your tech reps tried to convince me of all the hassle it would be to switch and time AT&T would take to buy out our contracts but honestly it was the pot calling the kettle. I am not in the position to discuss hassle and time after 5 months of getting that with Verizon. Did I mention it's my brother in law so we would be getting special treatment and no out of pocket expenses to switch. It was my loyalty and satisfaction with Verizon that has kept me from switching all these years. Something Verizon clearly does not appreciate.
So can you guess where I am with confidence that your customer service department is knowledgable about the plans/offers? Where I am that I can trust what I'm being told?
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?

Got white iphone 6 for christmas want the black 6.. is there a way to pay a small amount and get the phones swapped over?

got white iphone 6 for christmas want the black 6.. is there a way to pay a small amount and get the phones swapped over? thanks

Depending on where the iPhone was purchased, you may be able to
return it for $/credit and then buy the color you prefer. If past the
return window the seller allows, use a case like Briansyddall suggested above.

Adobe Audition 3.0.1 - Saving/Converting WAV's to MP3 adds small amounts of time to my MP3 files !!?

Hello.
I am new to the Forum, but turning to the masses out there for help with a weird one!
I have used Adobe Audition for YEARS. I do a lot of converting of my finished WAV files to Mp3 files. The finished WAV's have always been in 48000Hz, 16 bit Stereo, and are always mixed to the specified time (e.g. 15, 30 or 60 seconds duration). These are then converted to mp3 files, using the 'Save As' option, choosing the 'Save As Type' as mp3PRO (Fhg) (*.mp3) option.
My conversion settings have always been:
CBR, mp3, 320Kbps 48000Hz Stereo (4:8:1), Maximum bandwith = 24000Hz, CBR Rate = 320, Sample Rate = 48000Hz, Codec = Current - Best Quality, Allow mid-side joint stereo, allow intensity joint stereo, Set 'Private' Bit, ISO Padding, Write CRC Check Sums.
...Now, for some strange reason, ever since last night, whenever I do the above process - the resulting mp2 file seems to ADD ON little bits of time...from 0.048 of a second to around 0.168 of a second..!!??? So to further clarify: If I convert a 15 second WAV file to mp3 - the resulting mp3 file ends up being slightly longer in duration at: 15.168 seconds..???
This has never happened before. And, a solution has got me beat.
I have tried different conversion settings, different configurations - even saving the initial WAV as a lower sample rate - but, no joy.
I have an old version of Adobe Audition 2.0 on a different machine - and guess what?! Even IT does this same weird thing now too.
It doesn't seem to matter if I REC and convert new files or convert old files - same problem.
Even opening up mp3 files - that I KNOW were spot on for time - now also have these little bits of extra time added to them, once they are openned...??? What the...!!??
I spent over half an hour on the phone with Adobe Tech support, earlier this afternoon. They got me to reset all of my user configuration files - but, didn't slove the issue!
PLEASE: Has anyone experienced this same conversion issue..? I would also be interested to know, if anyone else replicates these conversion settings, if they get the same problem..?
Could this be one of those good old Windows update things..?
Does anyone know if there are updates available for Auditions built-in mp3PRO encoder / decoder..?
PLEASE HELP !!!
Thank you, in advance.
John.

Well I don't know how you've missed this before, but it's always done it. It's a throwback to Syntrillium days, when it was discovered that some MP3 players managed to cut off the starts and finishes of MP3 files. The developers got around this by adding a small amount of silence when coding an MP3. Originally, Audition's loop files were MP3-based as well, but these didn't have the added silence, because obviously that would screw up the looping a treat. But as far as I'm aware, even though players are better now (aren't they???), the additional silence remains.
I'm not surprised that the help desk doesn't know about this - it's a bit subtle. And with the best will in the world, they only have the crib sheets they're given, and they certainly don't cover everything that happens.

Spilled a small amount of Gin on my keyboard, now certain keys are acting up!

Hi everyone.
My week is just getting better lol. This evening I spilt a very small, maybe half a shot glass worth of Gin on my 2010 macbook pros keyboard. I switched it off, got the hair dryer on it and left it for a short while. Then turned it back on. All was fine it started up ok, but then whilst typing I noticed that some of the keys such has the H, F, R and Y are putting other letter e.g. If I hit H, F comes up before it. And to increase the brightness brings up the calculator etc. Its now upside down in my room with sum kitchen towel underneath the keyboard.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice as to what I should do. It's switched off and i'm hoping it will right itself. It really was a small amount i'm just terrified i'm going to have to replace the keyboard....
Thanks in advance folks!

Well more then likely Yes.
It seems that Mac's do not do well with ANY amount of Liquid spilt on them. From the smallest amount they can go completely DEAD.
Could be yours only needs the keybaord replaced. Lets hope that is all that needs to be replaced. The keyboard has multilayer films that make and break a connection. If there is water/liquid in between those layered films then you can get either a different key then what you pressed of multiple letters or nothing at all.
But then it all depends on how the keyboard is connected to the Logic board. If it is connected like the CPU and GPU are, they are solder to the logic board, then the complete Logic board would need replacing to fix the keyboard problem.
Give it a few more day to dry out and keep it off.

I have Acrobat 7.0 Professional and in full view some pages get smaller.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional in full view some pages get smaller. Can anyone tell me why this happens?

Further to this original post --- OK, I uninstalled and then reinstalled the program, to no avail. I did however get a message which I had gotten before but since I was not yet aware that the program got installed with any problems, I had not noticed... This time I took notice. The error message was clearly what it is about, at least to a great extent. I got this message: Warning 20225: Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port Printer may be unavailable. GetLastError: The operation completed successfully. So then after the reinstallation, I went into Control Panel, Printers & Drivers and made a valiant attempt to manually install a virtual printer port. I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed in another computer on which I have Windows XP Pro (yes the only other computer-- I am permitted two installations for this program-- I confirmed this with Adobe), by looking at Properties and copying down exactly the text, etc. which described the names of the two possible ports, etc. Tried to "tell" my new computer (the one which has Windows 7) that it should set up and/or look for such a virtual port, again to no avail. I am amazed that Adobe does not allow me to even pay cash money for tech support, but they wouldn't do it. I guess you can have just so many employees who know the programs, etc. Anyway, as I said before I may just break down and buy the 9.0 version which the Adobe techie told me is indeed compatable with Windows 7. He did not tell me that Windows 7 was incompatible with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but that 8.0 is indeed incompatible. Just googled the term "Warning 20225" along with some relevant buzz words. I can see there is still a bit of tweaking I may be able to do before I cry "uncle!"

Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone through Verizon?

Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone under their warranty plan? How did you get a resolution or replacement phone?

Hello dpetrie,
A lost or stolen phone is definitely not fun! If this is the case then I'm sure that we have an option available for you. May I ask what model device did you lose? As tikibar1 mentioned, do you have insurance on the device? If so then please advise so we can share options with you.
Thank you...

MSSQL 2008 - Database size getting smaller after EHP upgrade??

Hi All,
Did anyone observe the DB size of MSSQL 2008 after EHP upgrade?
In my two system, after upgraded to EHP5 and EHP2 respectively, the database is getting smaller compare to before upgrade, estimated 5-10gb.
EHP upgrade is unlike DBEXPORT, it shouldn't have any reorganization features and so do MSSQL.
Any idea?
Cheers,
Nicholas Chang

> Right after upgrade is smaller and after sgen, db size is bigger than source.
So it's ok.
> As system was upgrade from ECC6 to EHP5 with Central Application, HCM and Finance .... the after upgrade size should bigger than the source even before SGEN. Your kind input is mostly welcome.
If the source system was compiled completely (using SGEN) then you need to compare the sizes of the target system also, otherwise you compare apple with pies.
Another reason may be that index compression was activated:
Note 1459005 - Enabling index compression for SQL Server
You could now upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 and apply
Note 1488135 - Database compression for SQL Server
this will save additional space (30 - 50 %).

I am unable to get small contact photos display while receiving or making calls!!

I am unable to make out how to get a small display of the photo on the right hand top corner of the phone while receiving or making calls. I always get a larger display which is covered by the phone options. I have tried every possible option
1. Adding photos in windows contacts and syncing with iphone
2. Adding photos to my contacts from photos taken from iphone
3. Adding photos synced from my PC
None of these options work, can anyone help me to get smaller display of photos while making and receiving calls

Photos added to your contacts on your computer will appear as thumbnails. Those added directly on your phone will appear full size. So, edit the contacts on your phone & delete the photos that were added directly on your phone.

Does *anyone* get smooth .wmv playback on their Mac?

I have a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.10.
I have Quicktime 7.1.3.
I have a Quicktime plug-in that plays .wmv clips. (Flip4Mac)
I have numerous short clips in .wmv format, anywhere from a 1 meg to 15 megs.
It seems the smaller files seem to play a little better, but still not perfectly.
The larger files...forget it...I see one frame every three seconds. That frame freezes until three seconds later another frame comes up. This is especially the case when the larger clips are HD.
I received the advice to go to window > show movie properties > other settings > preload this track into memory. It had no effect whatsoever. Still a jumpy and unusable picture.
Is anyone getting quality playback that can offer the secrets of using Quicktime as a smooth movie playback device instead of what looks like a slide-viewer?

I took your advice, Topotone, and opened up my activity monitor. I don't know what kind of numbers I'm supposed to be seeing, but it looks like nothing surprising is showing up. My Firefox browser uses up the overwhelming percentage of processor speed, followed by the activity monitor itself. Then there's a long list of things that use up pretty tiny numbers.
Everything has gotten slow on my Powerbook. These days, if I try to take a screen shot, I hear hard drive noises for over ten seconds before the photo clicks! Simple streaming like a news media viewer starts and stops every few seconds. (That's even after I've allowed the whole video to load using the pause button.)
I'd love to know what I've installed or what setting I've set that is slowing me down so badly.

Has anyone used Timpsons phone repair service for a replacement screen on iPhone 4S?

My iPhone 4S has a. cracked screen, but still works OK.
Can anyone comment on Timpsons repair service? It will cost £40 for the repair, but they do use real glass, not just a plastic screen.

If your phones is in waranty then thats a bad move. Other wise I cannot comment on non Apple repairs, and dont feel this forum is the best place for that. iPhones use specially toughened glass with a Oleophobic coating, I would not trust 'glass' to be that. Also if you break your phones dies and you need a out of warranty replacement you wont get one buy going down this path.

What to buy? I want to a small amount of product photo editing, build websites, and do some product label graphics. 74 years old and do not want to do the Cloud thing online.

Well, the web site building we can get out of the way rather easily: You cannot build websites with any Photoshop related applications. Adobe has other applications for that.
You can still buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 with a perpetual license—no monthly payments and you own it. $700 for the standard version, $1,000 for the extended version.
The Photographer's deal gives you a subscription to both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 per month, but you never get to own the software. The moment you stop paying, the software ceases to work.
The Cloud thing is not really on-line. It resides on your computer. It only has to call the mother ship once a month or so.
Then there's the bargain-basement priced, emasculated Photoshop Elements, with some hand-holding features.
I'm a septuagenarian too, but then I've been using computers for decades, Photoshop seriously for over twelve years. Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
Depending on exactly how much editing you need to do to those products shots, you may be satisfied with Ps Elements mentioned above.
There are trial versions for all of the above.

Anyone getting small amount of service?
