Are there any IPhone antenna signal booster available

Hi,
We have two iphones in our family. The problem is that usually we have VERY poor signal strength in our house. I've gone to ATT's site to check out coverage (they have a map of signal strength by geographical location on their site) and sure enough, we live in a zone with poor signal strength. If we lived a block away, in any direction, from where we live now, we'd have great signal strength available. Sometimes we have good signal strength, but those times are few and far between, and the number of bars showing signal strength often changes right before our eyes.
We love the phones, but they are of little use to us while at home. So ... we wondered if there is a solution out there for us. Are there signal boosters, or something like that, which might help us out?
If there are, where would we look for one? Would we need a special kind?

Sorry, no feedback on this yet. I was hoping someone else would have already tried a booster or repeater or whatever they are, and post a comment about them here. We went to the ATT store in Pismo Beach and stood there for fifteen minutes waiting for someone to help us and then left. Two doors down there is a Radio Shack, and although these antennas are listed in their online catalog, the two guys who were working there didn't have a clue. Actually, Radio Shack was kind of a funny experience because one of the guys just said "we don't have any" and then just walked away from us to return to the movie he was watching on the large screen TV across the store. I swear!
Then, we went to another ATT store located on the south side of Santa Maria and we finally got a guy who not only knew what we were talking about, but was actually helpful. Though they didn't have any antennas for us at the store, he discussed the effectiveness of antennas with us, and was truthful enough to tell us that the information he was relating to us was just information he had heard from his friends, but that he had no personal experience with using these antennas.
Anyway, one of the posts at the top of this thread lists a site to check out, and it seems to have most of the brands we heard about in our search. It appears that they run in the neighborhood of $300 for a good one, and you can spend up to about $1,000 for one of the best models available.
I think we're going to spring for one of the $300 models and see if it works for us, but probably not until next week.
Sure seems like a lot of $$$ for phone service. I don't blame Apple for this at all. It just seems like ATT ought to provide better service, either through more towers or some other way. That's just mho.

Are there any iPhone headsets that allow volume control?

The new Apple In-Ear headphones are shipping at last, and I am considering buying some. I am currently looking to upgrade to some high-quality headphones from my standard iPhone buds, but I would like to have a working microphone and remote like those Apple buds have for my convenience. Are there any such headsets with working volume controls as well? Does the iPhone's audio jack lack a connector for this additional piece of equipment, as some folks are suggesting? A lot of people have been saying that the remote and microphone portion of the new In-Ear headset will work with the iPhone, but the volume buttons do not. I've seen mixed reports, so I'd like to hear some more opinions on this matter.
If volume control is not possible, I will still look into upgrading. So far, I'm considering the In-Ear phones, the V-MODA Vibe Duo headset. Any other thoughts or recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I bought a set of the Vmoda Vibe with the microphone. They sound great !! the silicone seals are just your average seals. After a couple of months the seals would sometimes stay in my ear when I pulled the earpiece out. A couple of months ago i bought some foam seals that work absolutely great. They are available on the Vmoda website. Kinda pricey..$14 ish for three pair. they only come in gray and accumulate dirt faster than the silicone seals but, they stay in your ear. Last week, as i wrapped the cord, i noticed it was broken at the pin plug site where it's curved (bends). This ***** as now when talking on the phone with the earbuds everything echos. My audio and the other persons audio also. Of course Apple won't exchange them since I purchased them more than two weeks ago. (A year hasn't expired yet) I'm going to send them to Vmoda and see what happens. I purchased the new Itouch earbuds. they are Apple white. I wished they came in black but, they are AWESOME !! The sound is incredible. The silicone seals work great so far. They look to be shaped differently so now they stay in your ear..so far...I purchased them for my iphone. The microphone/hold button work fine with no echo on either side. They have a volume level control but it does not work on the iphone. Bummer...This feature would have made them the ultimate Iphone earbuds. The volume does work on my ipod. Go figure. Overall, the new Apple In-ear headsets are great, They must have a tweeter and woofer in there cuz the sound is fantastic and the silicone seals actually stay in place.

Are there any OSM be-spoke cartrdiges available?

Hello,
I was reading through SFS documentation for a vendor-analysis - I can see Oracle provides bespoke ASAP Cartridges for various NE's,Tech Packages for UIM.
I was wondering if there is any bespoke cartridges (except for the demo sales one) offered along with the product or licensed separately.
My understanding is that the O2A cartridge is a prebuilt set of integrated orchestration flows, application integration logic, and extensible enterprise business objects and services required to manage the state and performance of a defined set of activities or tasks between specific Oracle applications. This however is service agnostics.
So are there any bespoke OSM cartridges available leveraging domain knowledge and based on working with telcos?
Regards
Sain

OSM provides only O2A PIP cartridges and is not providing any bespoke cartridges. As most of the network elements used by different telcos are similar, and the way ASAP communicates to these network elements for various operations is same, it is easy to provide cartridges for various NE's. But in OSM, no two companies have same flow in providing a specific service to the customers. So it is difficult to provide such cartridges.
O2A PIP cartridges can be customized as per end user requirements.

Is there any Iphone 4S actual unlock available?

Hi there, I am in Romania right now and I want to buy a new Iphone 4S from one of the local carriers here, the phone will come locked to that network,so I was wondering if any of you know about a current Iphone 4S unlock available so I can unlock the phone to use it with other network when I leave Romania.
Thanks!

ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it. No one else. Only the carrier.
You would have to ask your carrier if they offer this service. They are the only ones who can unlock it.

Are there any Outlook Email Sync Tools Available f...

Hi, I've had the n900 for a while now, bit peeved with it, was sold as having proper tbt gps etc, that's another story I guess and one which is well documented elsewhere . Only getting round to setting up my email sync now and guess what, it doesn't work!! You don't seem to be able to sync emails between Outlook and the n900, not using PC Suite or OVI suite from what I can see. My work domain and mail is hosted on gmail, I leave a copy of the messages on the server so I can get in Outlook and on the device. Sometimes when I read a message, or reply to a message on the n900 it will never come through to Outlook, even though a copy is being left on the server. it would be nice if a sync tool was available for this, anyone know of any?
Thanks
Eamonn

you have a couple of options.
first, you have to know that ALL messages you send from your n900 do not get put on the server, but are actually in your "sent" folder on you n900.   so you will need to open that folder, and select all, then move to a folder on your server.....should you be using imap.
next.   i would recommend that you set up your email as imap. it is similar to using MS exchange except that it is free, it does not sync your contacts, it does not sync you calendar. but works great. you will be able to see all your folders on your gmail account and even be able to transfer all your sent email on you n900 to your sent email on your gmail account.
i would stay away from OVI suite as it will just make a mess.   with the n900, it is not necessary to have anything sync with outlook, except your contacts, notes, calendar. so use PC Suite instead as it works solid!
now, since you are new, there is a way to make your n900 email work much faster and smoother as well.
first, install these repositories to your n900 for future use. just click on the links within the browser of your n900 and they will auto-install for you.
EXTRAS-TESTING
EXTRAS-DEVEL
now open your appmanager and install rootsh. (this will help you for later as you read in this forum...at least for things that CPitchford and Ceroberts75 post)
now, here are directions to make your email client work much faster. since i cannot attach a .tar file to this, if you send me a pm, i will send you a link to download a safe copy of it for you to use.
save the .tar file to root folder (your root folder is going to be n900 or whatever you named your unit)
open xterm
sudo gainroot
cd MyDocs
to install, use this code:
tar xzf modest-3.4.2-baxyp-1.tar.gz -C /
NOTE: There are 2 spaces after the ".gz" and 1 space after the "-C"
it will just do an immediate prompt again, and seem like nothing happened, but it did.
to uninstall and go to original settings, use this code:
apt-get --reinstall install libtinymail-camel-1.0-0 modest
now for the Nokia Messaging: i started a thread for this Nokia Messaging.   Nokia messaging will auto-sync all your email like stated above, but there are different limitations to alerts and such on the n900 and if you only have a few email addresses, imo, it is better to just set them up in the modest email client (standard email installed). it will also save a few taps everytime you have to see the email.
FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS:
with symbian, you just need to go to email.nokia.com and install it.
but...on maemo, it is built in.
open email client
menu
new account
next (wait for it to search)
choose your region
service provider: Nokia Messaging
next
e-mail address: (to the nokia messaging account you have for login)
password: (to the nokia messaging account you have for login)
next
it will search...and probably have an error with server and then ask to have you put in all the advanced information. use this information below:
email address:
your nokia messaging login email
incoming:
mail.nokia.com
143
outgoing:
mail.nokia.com
587
with no securities used.
next
this should do it and then you will see it start to sync.
then you can go into the settings of nokia messaging and set up the sync settings and times.
now when you open your email client, you will see "Nokia Messaging"
when you tap on that, you will now see all the email addresses you have set up for nokia messaging.
you can add up to 10 email addresses on the nokia messaging....and i am currently using 6 on my integrated email client...so you can have at least 16 email address on your n900 now, probably up to 20.

Are there any iPhone 4 Apps for viewing Numbers Documents?

I'm wondering if there is any apps for the iPhone 4 which will allow me to view/read Apple Numbers files/documents? I have one for the iPad but was wondering if there is something similar for the iPhone...
Thanks in advance...

Jasdelta,
As you can see the choices are many and varied. Read the reviews for additional advice. Choose a free App for evaluation. Then you can buy the upgrade if you are satisfied.
I have only added GPSLite, and GPS Drive to my mobile devices...both have the capability to enter Lat/Long.
Apple Maps is my preferred iOS Maps App. I use a Garmin Rhino out in the field, and a built in Nav system for my auto when on the road. If you are interested, Geocaching has an excellent App.

Are there any example CVI certification exams available from NI ?

Thanks for any insight, -Dean

Am I going to be asked what menu or submenu to use to launch a certain feature ? I have no idea, I just look until I find it !
Will there be an instance of CVI running that I can use during the exam ? ( e.g. if I'm asked a question similar to what I stated above, or to use the help feature ). I was also curious if there was a practical part to the exam, which you stated there was, that was big question I had, so thanks agin for the input.
Even better: you will be asked what happens in case of error if you debugging level is "standard" or "extended" and so on...
Based on my experience, you will need to study carefully at least the Programmer's reference.
My exam had nothing to do with DAQ, DDE, Datasocket, ActiveX and generally external devices / programs: I don't think this aspect has changed, but it should be clear in the documentation available for the exam.
Fortunately, you will have a pc with CVI installed to work on, since in the same 4-hour block you will have to answer questions and develop the application in no particular order, but consider that it's no long a time if you need to study the online help to answer
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Are there any application code-reading tools available?

Since my query about BugHunter went unanswered, I thought I'd try again from a different angle. I need a tool that shows code associated with a screen, button, or command in the application when you use F1 or the CSH "?" on the screen/button/command. Instead of generating map IDs in the Help and passing them to the developer, we get the map ID number generated in the code and add it to the Help. I need something that shows the code for each specific app item to check the accuracy of these numbers. (The WinHelp BugHunter did that, but for some reason the HTML Help BugHunter does not.) Does anyone have experience with such a tool?
Lacona

Hi there
You said the WinHelp Bughunter works? If so, then why not continue to use it? I'm thinking that from the application standpoint, it's simply sending a MapID, no?
I know the call to a CHM is likely different, but if all you are looking for is the MapID...
Cheers... Rick

Are there any iphone 4s that work with GSM and CDMA and other carriers?where can i buy it?are apple going to produce it?

Need to buy this kind of iphone 4s that can work with all the carriers exist

It doesn't support any Bluetooth profile that a Remote would need. But if your audio system has the A2DP Bluetooth profile, or it could be added, you could connect via that method and just keep the Nano in your hand.

Are there any iPhone apps for call billing?

I am interested in the iPhone but I am self employed and want a way, at the end the month, to track my personal use/business use of my phone in an app.
Does anyone know of an app I could use which would tell me what percentage (%) use of my phone is business/personal? I realise that I would have to program my phone in some way that would tell it which contacts are business ones and which ones are personal.
Help and advice appreciated.

Check the store or ask your carrier, maybe they provide an app. I use mobile butler, but my carrier is t-mobile.

Are there any iPhone 5 compatible clock radios?

As above I've done a google search and there appears to be zero clock radios for the iPhone 5!!
Surely they should have started releasing stuff like this almost 12 months after the launch of the lightning connector?

Case-Mate start selling iPhone 5 cases. Here is some of them:

Are there any professional tax preparation programs available for Mac?

After seeing how much I love my Intel iMac, my dad really wants one. He does book keeping and tax preparation for his clients from home, so he would need some type of tax software that would work with a mac.
Keep in mind, he would need professional level software, like Taxwise. Home tax programs like Turbo Tax or Quicken wouldn't work. He needs software for e-filing, form generation, refund loans, etc.
Do you guys know of any?

Are there any more iMacs with optical drives available in Apple stores?

I want a computer that I can use DVDs with. I have many and often order them so I will need to have an optical drive. I don't want something that is not built in. Are there any new left over inventory available of iMacs that previously had this feature?
