Caller ID not displaying correctly on some call recipients' phones

This isn't necessarily an iPhone issue - a similar issue appears on other boards. But I haven't seen an answer that will help me, so here goes:
My wife and I share a VZW account. She has the iPhone, and today she found out that when she makes a call, some recipients are not seeing her caller ID name displayed as she intends it. Previous posts point to a 3rd party company that manages Verizon's (and other carriers') Caller ID systems, Targus. Those posts all ended inconclusively, in my opinion, because none of them spelled out a sure-fire way to contact Targus to fix the problem.
With our plan, we can customize how our mobile phones display their identity to the world. Verizon has branded this service "Share Name ID". http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/Features%20and%20Optional%20Services/faq_share_name_id.html
When my wife calls our house landline, that caller ID display shows her name as she entered it in the Share Name ID custom name field. Whe she calls her sister's landline, that caller ID display shows my name (as the account holder).
These previous posts point to similar problems.

https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/574112#574112
https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/595510#595510
All these posts share something in common: the so called Targus contact info is useless for actually reaching someone at Targus who can fix this problem.
The previous posts seemed to suggest that Verizon was incapable of fixing the problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can proceed to remedy the situation?

Hello wh_vzwnub,
I can see how this could pose a problem for you & your wife. I would like to assist.
Just to clarify, the Share Name ID service is an Opt in option for all VZW customers to present a customer's name to the calling party's handset or landline Caller ID (where supported, offered by the terminating carrier). Service is not compatible with all carriers. Depending on the service provider and/or carrier the called party is subscribing to, the customer may or may not be able to view the shared name. When calling to non-compatible carriers, the call receiver will continue to see "Wireless Caller" on their caller ID display. Share Name IDs are not consistently displayed on AT&T landlines. Share Name ID is not currently displayed on VZW devices.
SHARE NAME ID
I hope I have answered your questions, and have addressed your concerns.

HT201401 My previously made calls are not displaying in the recent call section? How can I restore them+

My previous calls are not displaying in the recent call section. How can I fix this?

There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here.
To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store.
Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
Hope this helps.

[Solved] Characters not displaying correctly in some applications

When I read things in applications like Firefox I've noticed that sometimes the " symbol is displayed wrong. Sometimes it is shown as what I can only describe as two forward-ticks stuck together (it won't let me paste it), and other times as two back-ticks ``. When I try to paste code over to the rxvt-unicode terminal the forward-tick symbol is displayed as a question mark, as are some other special symbols like maths characters. So I have two questions: are there any terminals that support such special characters? And is my character display problem related to setting up my locales correctly (which I think I already have)?
I followed the steps on the wiki for setting up locales. I uncommented "en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8" and "en_GB ISO-8859-1" in /etc/locale.gen, ran locale-gen as root, and added LOCALE="en_GB.utf8" to /etc/rc.conf and "export LANG=en_GB.utf8" to my .zshrc. locale -a shows that the correct locales are installed.

See this pdf for fixes: unix.derkeiler.com/pdf/Mailing-Lists/Fr … g00564.pdf.
Type 'locale' on the console to find out your locale. Mine is en_GB.utf8.
Now add the following to your shell profile or ~/.xinitrc.
I already had this in my .zshrc:
export LANG=en_GB.utf−8
But I think the LC variable was overriding it. I Changed my LC_ALL to:
export LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8
(It was set to LC_ALL=C before).
The above fixes copy/paste to most terminal apps, but some still misbehave. For example, I had to add this to ~/.emacs:
;; Set language environment for MULE.
(set−language−environment 'UTF−8)
;; My customization for text modes
(defun my−text−mode−hook ()
(auto−fill−mode 1)
(show−paren−mode t)
(activate−input−method 'rfc1345) ; Good input method for UTF−8
(add−hook 'text−mode−hook 'my−text−mode−hook)
More examples are given on page 3 of the pdf.

Flash movie not displayed correctly in IE 8 on some Windows OS

Has anyone seen this problem?
I'm using CS4 to export a basic flash movie with embed tags pre scripted...
And the issue is that on some OS systems using Vista or Windows 7 and IE 8 as a primary browser, it appears that IE 8 is not displaying the flash banner completely.... its CROPPING it off... This is very strange because the banner works fine in FireFox, IE7,Opera,Chrome but not I.E.8 on some OS systems...
If you google "Flash not displaying correctly in IE 8" you'll get alot of people with the same issues but no real definate fix...
Are there any suggestions as to what i could try?
Do i need different flash embed tags? Or is this a user issue?
Please Advise as soon as possible...
Thanks

I'm sorry, i forgot to explain that I didn't upload the flash published html because it did and produced the exact same results.
The flash published still got cropped off on 1 vista os(I.E 8) running from a laptop and 1 windows 7(I.E. 8) latop os...
Its good to hear that you're able to see it clearly... however in my QA efforts, i've been asked to fix the issue or drop the flash banner all together.
I've tried every which way, i've even converted the embed tags (not uploaded by the way) to a js script and it STILL gets cropped of on 2 ie8 run OS systems...
And now i'm not sure what else to try on my end.
I'm currious if because this is an XML driven flash banner, this may be an issue? But it still doesn't explain why some people can see this in IE 8 as you can and others get a cropped banner like in my screen shot sample.
Again i invite everyone in the forum to take a look at the sample links, as i'd be curious to see who else is seeing this.
By the way "kglad" Thank you so much... please keep the suggestions coming... but everything you've suggested, i've tried.
This is very perplexing. Is this a setting issue? or is there some setting on the user side i'm not aware of? Either way, as usual... the flash developer is blamed so i must find a solution.
Link to flash sample
http://www.extremefx.net/flashie8issue/flashtest.html
Link to screen shot sample on a Vista and Windows 7 running IE 8 browser

Major Problem - some pages not displaying correctly

All,
I have a problem with some pages not displaying correctly i.e.
SE80 navigation page
F1 help
I am using XP sp2 and we have the latest version of internet explorer 7 (which I cannot uninstall as it is company policy)
SAP version is 6.4c.
I am using SAP Gui 7.10 with the latest patch 710_7.
This is making the system completely unusable for me.
I have read a few forum posts mentioning that upgrading to the latest patch version will resolve this problem, but this clearly has not worked for me.
Can someone please help, how do I actually esculate this to SAP?
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
thanks
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Apr 8, 2008 4:07 PM

what kind of useless answer was that? If you have no constructive comments to add please refrain.
I am a SAP developer in ABAP and its related to SE80 which I used to use primarily for editing code (i now have to use se38).
I often use F1 for hints on code etc to use and syntax so it does make it very difficult for me. If there is a more appropriate forum for this please direct me, instead of posting in gibberish english.
Max - I assume you have the same problem and it is also not resolved by the latest patch. I wonder is there a way this can be esculated with SAP?

Login action buttons no longer work and some pages not displaying correctly after upgrade.

After recent update, some web pages not displaying correctly and Login buttons on some sites do not work. I've updated my plugins and restarted computer, but problems remains. Is this Java, Javascript or something else? Same pages are working fine in IE.

Please update the firefox to the latest version of firefox 26
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

Text on some pages not displaying correctly since Lion upgrade

Since upgrading to Lion a few days ago, I find that the texg on many web pages does not display correctly. It appears to affect mainly header texts - all I get is a row of the capital letter "A" in boxes. I am running Safari Version 5.1 (7534.48.3) on Lion 10.7 Build 11A511.
Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

Some Websites do not display correctly (i.e. Facebook & Mozilla Page)

Recently when I visit Facebook and the Mozilla Page on my Desktop Computer (I am writing this on my laptop because this website does not function on my PC) using Firefox, the pages do not display correctly. Instead of the Facebook page appearing in it's usual blue-coloured format it shows as lines of text (not HTML code, but just lines of text, such as "Connect with friends..." in a different font than it should, its all black and white, no colour). Also the top of the screen has written "Facebook Logo" in blue underlined italics instead of the actual logo.
Does anyone know what may be causing this problem? If so, could you provide me with a solution? I have already tried several support topics (i.e. clearing cache, cookies etc.) but this does not help.
Please tell me if you require more detail or wish for me to elaborate/describe my issue in an alternate way.
Thank you very much.

Here is a screenshot.

[SOLVED] Some Xfce themes not displaying correctly

When I try to use certain themes (e.g., anything that requires Murrine), it does not display correctly, instead looking more like the default GTK theme:

How do I fix this?
Last edited by woddfellow2 (2010-09-23 01:42:55)

The themes you're having problems with probably use options that the current stable version of the Murrine engine can't handle. Try installing gtk-engine-murrine-git from AUR...I suspect that will fix the problem.

Problems with Turkish characters not displaying correctly

A user is having problems with certain Turkish characters in particular fonts not displaying correctly (as shown below).
The two fonts (Gill Sans and Helvetica LT CondensedLight) are used for English language marketing material. Ideally, for continuity, the same font would be preferred for our Turkish language marketing material rather than changing it to a similar font.
Helvetica LT CondensedLight
Turkish character “ İ ” does not display correctly in either Word or InDesign.
Gill Sans
Turkish characters “ ş ” and “ ğ ” display correctly in Word but not InDesign.
My questions are:
1. For Gill Sans, why are the characters not displaying in InDesign but are in Word?
2. I've noticed here: http://www.webtype.com/font/gill-sans-family/#glyphs-tab that the required characters are available within the Gill Sans font. Is this because the font is newer and includes the additional characters? Would this work in InDesign?

One of the big differences between InDesign and Word is that Word will happily substitute glyphs without telling you. So, unless your installs of Word and of InDesign are using different versions of Gill Sans (which is possible, BTW) then your s-with-cedilla and your g-with-macron are actually not in Gill Sans but in some other font. I'm guessing Arial.
It's possible that you have more than one Gill Sans installed (e.g. one in your Document Fonts folder and another in your system fonts folder) that have different glyph complements. Gill Sans has been around a long time, and the version I have from the 90s has no Turkish support whatsoever.
As far as the capital-I-with-dot, you can check your glyph coverage in a variety of ways. In both InDesign and Word, you can open up a window that shows you all of the glyphs in a font. In InDesign, find it in Type -> Glyphs. In Word, it's called "Insert Symbol" and you can find it in Word 2010 by going to Insert -> Symbol -> More Symbols. I am guessing that the answer to this question is simply that your cut of Helvetica LT has no cap-I-with-dot. You'd need to pick a font that actually has support for Turkish. On WIndows, I use a very full-featured freebie called BabelMap to check font coverage. They have a Web version here:
http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Unicode/babelmap.html
but I personally prefer the downloadable .exe file.

Dynamic Select List not displaying correct value

Hi there!
I have a page with a dynamic repeat region.
As I press one record I get up all the details based on id on an edit page.
The problem is that the info that is inserted via a Select List is not displaying correct on edit page.
All the other values are correct, also the values in the repeat region on index page,
but the value from the Select List on edit page is just displaying the initially selected item.
Have tried using SELECT DISTINCT in the SQL statement, but no luck.
Any other ideas?
Cut and paste from form:
<select name="Vegtype" class="ProvDet" id="Vegtype" title="<%=(rsAs.Fields.Item("VegType").Value)%>">
                    <option value="Ev" selected="selected">Ev</option>
                    <option value="Fv">Fv</option>
                    <option value="Rv">Rv</option>
                    <option value="Kv">Kv</option>

Ok, here goes the top down approach...
In the HTML header of my page, i have this reference to a js file containing the javascript - <script src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#108.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Then in an HTML Region I have the following code to create the divs that will be shown and hidden - <div id="divREGION" class="divs">Select region to get list of countries.</div>
<div id="divCOUNTRY" class="divs">Select country to get list of cities.</div>
<div id="divCITY" class="divs">Select city and then press "Get Employees". </div>
Note that these divs contain static content. You may be able to create dynamic content for these divs by creating dynamic query regions and putting div tags around the region (i havent tried this, it may require template modification).
The select boxes have this code in the "HTML form elements attributes" - onFocus="javascript:showHideDiv(this,true)" onBlur="javascript:showHideDiv(this,false)"
This onFocus and onBlur call the showHideDiv() function, passing in the object reference of the select box and a true/false to show/hide the related div.
The actual javascript function that is contained in the 108.js file is:
function showHideDiv(objThis, inBool){
     var divid = "div" + objThis.id.substring(3);
     if (inBool) {
     ShowDiv(divid);
     else {
HideDiv(divid);
That function in turn calls either the ShowDiv() or HideDiv() functions, depending on the true or false, passing in the ID of the div to be changed...
function ShowDiv(divid){
     eval('document.all'+ '["' + divid + '"]' + '.style' +'.display = "inline"');
function HideDiv(divid){
     eval('document.all'+ '["' + divid + '"]' + '.style' +'.display = "none"');
Hope this helps.

Screen not displayed correctly using InteractiveViewer

I have created a report that prompts the User for Start and End dates. When the Prompt dialogue box is displayed using interactiveViewer the images are not displayed correctly.
Does anybody have a fix for this problem ??
Example attached.
Ron Smith
DBA

My guess is that the toolbars don't show up when you view the reports either.
There should be a virtual directory called 'crystalreportviewers' on your webserver. This is where you will find all the images supplied by the viewer.
Right click on the image that is having problems and select properties. This should give you location of the viewer.
You should be able to trouble shoot this way be comparing the actual path with the real path of the missing images.
Hopefully this will help.

It seem all the date field can not be control in the report, and control by somthing else
Doese anyone come accross this problem?
Thanks

Hi Rong,
Are you using the following demonstration to build your JSP?
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
(Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report)
I tried to do the same, and inserted a database date field in the JSP using Reports. I found the following:
While making the template inside Excel, if I make sure that the format of the date cells is "Date" - some particular date format, the date field values from Reports does not get exported correctly.
However, if you make sure that inside the template, the format of the date cells is not date, but "General", then the date field values are correctly exported to Excel.
Pl try it and let us know.

CALLER ID not working for International incoming calls

You didn't mention what country your Online Number is in. Not all of Skype's Online Numbers are eligible for use as Caller ID when calling telephones or sending SMS messages. If your number is from one of these countries (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), then it can be used this way. Otherwise, you can use a mobile number from countries other than Japan or Mexico as Caller ID with Skype, after the number goes through a verification process where Skype sends SMS messages with codes to that number.
To get to these settings, log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site using the "Account" link at the top of this page. You'll see a screen that would include your current Caller ID settings, and a link to change that. If your Online Number is from one of those countries I referenced above, just select it and you're done.
Hope that helps!
