Bad service and no service

I have had my Driod Incredible 2 for at least 6 months and it is rare when I get more than 3 bars. I get none in my house and have to go outside to make calls. I read that this model is notorius for bad reception. Any suggestions? I love it but need a phone I can actually use.

Anna,
There are 2 fixes for this phone. My reception was so bad I did both!! There is the antenna finger fix and the 'ol aluminum foil fix. Below I have copied & pasted my response. I'll even send you the link to the thread. All I can say is "Do It!"
Just did the 'spring finger bend' & also the aluminum foil trick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHIdl1qrdkc)
Well, IT  WORKED WONDERFULLY!!!!
I had an average signal of between -103 to -115 dBm with an asu between 4 to 1.
Now it's at a between -87 to -95 with an asu of 9 to 13!!!!
Folks, you will have a new phone! I've had my Dinc2 for almost 2 years with 3 replacements and NONE of them have had these nunbers!!!
DO IT...............DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!

  • Diff b/w Web service and window service

    What is the difference between web service and window service, whether the both are same or not, Give some explain about that each one and give some examples also.

    An XML Web service is a component that implements program
    logic and provides functionality for diseparate
    applications. These applications use standard protocols,
    such as HTTP, XML, and SOAP, to access the functionality.
    XML Web services use XML-based messaging to send and
    receive data, which enables heterogeneous applications to
    interoperate with each other. You can use XML Web services
    to integrate applications that are written in different
    programming languages and deployed on different platforms.
    In addition, you can deploy XML Web services within an
    intranet as well as on the Internet. While the Internet
    brings users closer to organizations, XML Web services
    allow organizations to integrate their applications.
    A Windows service starts much before any user logs in to
    the system (if it has been setup to start at boot up
    process). A Windows service can also be setup in such a way
    that it requires a user to start it manually ? the ultimate
    customization!
    Windows services run as background processes. These
    applications do not have a user interface, which makes them
    ideal for tasks that do not require any user interaction.
    You can install a Windows service on any server or computer
    that is running Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT.
    You can also specify a Windows service to run in the
    security context of a specific user account that is
    different from the logged on user account or the default
    computer account. For example, you can create a Windows
    service to monitor performance counter data and react to
    threshold values in a database.

    Can you please tell me what exactly are "custom portal services" and "web services" with a business like/ real life example?
    How do you go about developing deploying and utilizing these services in Portal?
    Thanks.

    Hi navin,
    Thanks for the par file.
    Duly awarded points.
    I need your help again.
    I wish to use the method
    public String getWelcomeString(String name)
    in my own portal application to test usage of portal services.
    So I uploaded your par file on my server.
    Then I added the api and core jar files which came along with your par in my project as external jar files.
    I imported com.wickes.WickesService.*;
    Next, to use the service I coded:
    IPortalRuntimeResources rs =
    PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources();
         IWickesService ws = (IWickesService) rs.getService(IWickesService.KEY);
    But now I am stuck and I dont know how to proceed.
    Please help.

  • RMI Service and FR Service abrupt shutdown

    Hi guys,
    I got problem with my BI 931 services, and it's weird since the behavior is randomly happen.
    The FR Server services and RMI services sometimes abrupt shut down, this is development server so the users are minimal (some cases no one using it at all).
    The architecture is like below (all of them are VMWares)
    1 essbase 931 server
    1 HBI Services server + SQL Server 2000
    1 HBI UIServices server
    It can't be network problem because DB and the services is under the same machine.
    Through the logs and found some errors but I think below err desc has the highest possibilities;

  • LDAP Services and Shared services not starting

    Our foundation services are based in a Win server
    We had a problem with the server and it required to be restarted, by now the front end Hyperion services such as Web Analysis are up but Shared services and LDAP services not. We tried to start them manually and even running the exec but it is not working.
    Any help?
    best

    Just to add a few words to John's suggestion, this problem usually occurs when an abnormal shutdown takes place on shared services server. The backend database engine is a compact db called Berkeley. Fortunately crashes generally affect logs rather than the data. In such cases like yours I simply copy db_recover.exe from below folder
    %Hyperion_Home%\SharedServices\9.3.1\openLDAP\bdb\bin
    to below folder
    D:\Hyperion\SharedServices\9.3.1\openLDAP\var\openldap-data
    and double click on db_recover.exe in this folder. It has fixed my problems so far. However, getting a directory backup of above directory doesn't hurt. So, do this at your own risk after minimizing your risk by taking a backup.
    Cheers,
    Alp

  • My envy 110 works but the web services and eprint services give "connection error". what to do?

    My family use  Macs and Apple Deskbook and a BT Homehub network. The HP troubleshooting instructions do not always match what is on computer screen. The menu paths that HP gives sometimes do not exist.
    The Envy 110 printer was working fine but it often could not be found by the computers so I followed HP instructions to set a Static IP Address on the Printer. But now the Web Service and ePrint Service give a "connection error".    Any suggestions? I am annoyed that HP don't give a phone number to help.

    When you set that static IP on the printer, make sure of 2 things:
    1. The IP address is outside the DHCP range of the router.
    2. Use an external DNS, like Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Bad Service and customer service if you can get ahold of them!

    Anyone else out there having problems with their service? The service use to be great but now my phone barely stays in 4g. When I try to call them I have to wait more then 20mins to get no one....I swear this cell provider is going downhill real freaking fast and I'm about to jump ship!!!

    What you have encountered is a security feature called activation lock. An iPad running iOS 7 cannot be reset to a new user without the previous owner releasing the device by turning off Find My iPhone or entering their Apple ID and password.
    The best thing you can do is to try an contact the person you bought the iPad from and get a refund. Chances are the iPad was stolen.

  • What is difference between ESB Service and ESB Service Group

    Guys please tell me What is difference between ESB System and ESB Service Group and when we use them, i mean in what condition.
    Many Thanks

    The use of these is explained in the ESB developers guide along with some examples in what case to use them. See: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28211/esb_jdev.htm#sthref167

  • Enterprise Business Services and Oracle Service Bus

    Hi,
    We are using AIA and we have developed a number of EBS’. These are composite applications containing a mediator and are deployed to the SOA Server.
    Am I right in saying that another option is to use the Oracle Service Bus and replace the composite application ESB’s with ESB’s in the Oracle Service Bus?
    Robert

    Gerhard,
    I was thinking the benefits would be:
    -     End point Virtualisation – Single end point for services we can configure.
    -     Move the job of wiring the integrations from Development to Admin
    -     Single point of monitoring for SLA’s and QOS
    -     Improve visibility of ESB’s by providing a single list. (At the moment they are amongst many services in enterprise manager.)
    At the moment we have 3 SOA servers connected to 6 systems. (Dev, Test and Prod) I was imagining it might be possible to have a single OSB with Service routing controlled by policies. This way we would not need three OSB setup’s.
    I am also charged with planning for the development of further services and we already have a long list of composites in enterprise manager. I am imagining that this will quickly become unmanageable. With OSB we could hide the downstream services and only show the EBS’.
    I also imagined that when we introduced a 11.1.1.6 SOA server we could simply adjust the routing rules at the OSB to set up a dev environment. Test out the new services work, then make similar adjustments on a per EBS basis until we have migrated completely to 11.1.1.6.
    I agree that there are a lot of trade off’s and I do not really have the experience to weigh up the balance between the two. Yesterday I was asked to come up with methods of monitoring performance of the current integration as well as future integrations and the OSB data sheet talks a little bit about this which is why I am thinking more about it; Although have only got as far as looking at the OSB data sheet and some manuals.
    I guess another option would be to go with some EBS’s as mediators and others on OSB but I think using a consistent method for EBS’s would be preferable.
    Also there is the question do we have one OSB for all systems or separate OSB’s for Dev, Test and Prod.

  • Business Objects, external services and application services in CAs

    Hi All,
    right now we are developing our first eSOA Composite Application with CE and I have some questions regarding Business Objects, the import of external services and the development of application services.
    As I understood there are two ways to provide business functionality for composite applications:
    a. Import backend functionality as an external service (e.g. BAPI, RFC) at the CAF, build the application service which can be used as a callable object for UIs or the GPs
    b. Develop a local Business Object (in CAF) providing the business logic, create the application service which again can be used as a callable object. Furthermore the application service can be exposed as a Web Service (external service).
    My questions:
    1. When is it appropriate to to import external services in stead of developing local BOs?
    2. Under what conditions is it advisable to (solely) develop local BOs?
    3. What are the advantages / disadvantages regarding the reusability of the services (in option a and b)?
    Note: We are developing on NetWeaver 2004s.
    Please let me know, if you need more information to answer the questions!
    Thanks for your advice in advance,
    Regards,
    Ivonne

    Hi Ivonne,
    first of all, the CAF Business Objects (BOs) itself don't contain any business logic, they're basically just local database tables (with some CRUD services on top).
    Business logic is implemented in Application Services (AS).
    Now, regarding local BO's vs. external services, it depends on your use case. If the data is already available somewhere in your backend system it makes sense to use external services. For instance you wouldn't want to store business partners all over different composites. For data that is specific to your composite (in particular configuration, customizing etc.) and not likely to be reused by other applications you should use local BOs.
    Accessing local BO's is also much faster than calling external services.
    You can do reuse in both scenarios, since the CAF services can be exposed as web services.
    Regards,
    Christian

  • Sychronise Service and Asynchronise service

    Hello ALl
    SOAMANAGER - Synchronise services in Consumer and Provider system in ECC and SRM system
    PI- Asynchronous enterprise services why?
    can any one expalin in detail .
    Muthu

    Hi,
    Async webservice always need mediated communication (or your consumer application itself support async behaviour). Notion of today's webservice is related to sync (real time response) webservices.
    So any communication from ERP or any legacy system which want to consume async service need to go through middleware (PI, TIBCO, BizTalk or something else). On other hand almost all major vendor supports sync service call as it can be called like any other method/function/subroutine (program will wait for response from service).
    From ABAP you can call Sync or Async service but Sync service can be called either directly or via PI on other hand Async service must go through PI (or middleware).
    From SOAMANGER you can configure Sync services only. Async services will use PI runtime to route calls via PI.

  • New Customer - Have had MISERABLE experience with Verizon service and Customer service

    I am a brand new customer of Verizon Fios and so far I have zero good things to say about it.  If it wasn't for the aggrevation of switching cable companies, I most definitely would go back to Comcast.
    I moved into a new home in the middle of April.  The previous owner had Verizon Fios in this house, so there was minimal installation that had to be done when I initially set up my cable.  My house was pretty much empty at the time, so we had the TV's set up where we had a place to put it (upstairs, kitchen, and living room).  We recently bought bedroom furniture, so we could now move the TV to where we initially wanted it, in our bedroom.  However when we tried to hook it up to an outlet, no picture came though.  This is when my awful experience with verizon customer service (or lack there of) began.
    I took time out of my work day to call Verizon about this problem.  I was on hold for about 30 mins until I actually heard a human's voice.  He was unable to help me since I was not at home to unplug and plug things back in. 
    I called again when I was home, this time I was on hold for about 20 mins (wow)... the first person could not help me, so she transferred me to another department... put on hold for 35 mins.... this perosn couldnt help me either and they transferred me back to the SAME DEPARTMENT I WAS INITIALLY TRANSFERRED FROM.... put on hold for about 45 mins... finally i speak with someone that knows what they are talking about.  Of course I have to go through all the same steps that I did the first time which did not work.  As this person decides I need a technician, he begins to look up available dates... and then after an hour and 35 mins on the phone, it gets disconnected!  I wait for 5 minutes to get a call back but I get NOTHING.  I spent now 2 hours trying to deal with this and verizon doesnt even call me back when its their phone that gets disconnected? Thats terrible.
    I call back after 10 mins and am put on hold right away (obviously).... after 25 mins of being on hold, shocker - the call is disconnected again.
    That was enough for one day
    I call back again the next day... same old thing... put on hold for 30 mins, talk to one person who cant help me, transferred to another department and put on hold for 20 more mins.
    Finally with the tech department who says they are going to schedule a tech to come out to fix the problem but also mentioned they are going to charge me $55 for this! Are you kidding me?????? Verizon wastes about 4 hours of my life and busy day and then has the nerve to say they are going to charge me for it? I asked the person several times if I could speak with a manager or supervisor, they never let me.  I asked multiple times and she just said that they wouldnt be able to help me and that the charge would stick.
    I can't imagine that anyone would treat a brand new customer like this.  I will not recommend Verizon to any one until I see some kind of help or REAL customer service from them.

    I did call them this morning, and still on the phone.
    I will say this - the reps are very friendly and do try to help in earnest.  That's been my experience overall with Verizon.  So in terms of the actual people, I give them an A+.
    In terms of their system and how they process things, they get a big fat F.   The very idea that I sent back a phone with accessories and their warehouse only registered the return of the phone pretty much says that there is something fishy going on there at the warehouse.   And it took an hour to sort this out so far and counting.
    The thing that bugs me about Verizon is how complicated it is to get everything straightened out.  
    Right now, they are trying to sort out the activation fee - I already have been charged one and now they are trying to figure out if i have to pay another one.   Another 15 minutes just on that.
    Everything has been resolved.   Thankfully, Verizon's saving grace is that their reps are nice people.
