Data plan! why??? whats the difference of me using Wifi or being charged for a data plan?

Feature phones iterally suck, even the internet pro reviews on the phones are very low and most of the feature phones that are reviewed the reviewer gives their last comment as "don't buy" .
I do not need a data plan, ( I carry either a Verizon netbook or a notebook for all my internet needs) nor am I comfortable with the charge of a data plan being necessary or is this simply another way for a large company with a large profit margin to stick it to the consumer knowing we have to maintain a cell phone in this day and age?.
I had settled on the KinTwo, the reviews are not glowing but .... r not that horrible either. It is also the only phone which gives the owner WiFi accessibility. (which makes me wonder if this is the reason Verizon has pulled it off the market). From my extensive research the KinTwo is the only feature phone choice. But..... When I went back to the site to order it was gone, and the VW stores do not carry it.
UGH> I am so discouraged by the data plans and the extremely high price. Would someone please tell me what the difference is in my using my Netbook, laptop (notebook) on WiFi and not being charged a data fee? Or why I can bring Wireless Internet into my home and have all my WiFi accessible electronics connect through my main ISP with an additional fee for each WiFi user???? But I am not able to use a Smartphone this way???
I am serious about these data plans are they necessary????

once upon a time verizon did not require data plans
many users were happy
but t h is did not last for users started having problems with thier hands
they would often hit the wrong buttons and use data
sometims as little as a mb, sometimes many mb
verizon forums and customer service started recieving phone calls to get credits for this usage
after all its not the users fault is it? i mean are they responsible if they had the phone to a 2 year old to play with and the kid brings up the browser?
so verizon decided it was in its best interest to protect its users. they started requireing data plans so you wouldnt get hit with huge bills for being an idiot.
So if you wanna cry about data plans blame all those people out there that complained

Data respond slow since the iOS6 upgrade while using WIFI

It seems as if ever since I upgraded my phone to the iOS6 upgrade, my phone takes forever to upload the app store, or even load data on some apps such as a stock market game simulator. I am using WIFI at the time, I'm not sure why the app store is taking forever to upload apps that I either search for or just the apps on the main page. This has happened also while trying to listen to a podcast, it just seems like when it comes to using data on the phone, while on WIFI, things are either not loading or taking forever to load; I know for a fact it is not the internet connection because I'm using the WIFI at my job and I work for a telecommunications company. Please respond if you're having similar issues.

Since upgarding to iOS6 my iphone 4 takes ages to load the app store...wifi working fine i think its because of the load on the server from everybody rushing to upgrade...Apple should have thought about this bottle neck before rolling out the upgrade

HT201238 I purchased the next level of cloud storage and when it came through it wasn't enough so then I purchased the next amount I think I'm being charged for both. How do I get rid of the first one I purchased?

I purchased the next level of icloud storage but it wasn't enough so I purchased the next level. It looks like I'm going to be charged for both? what do I do?

Hi there,
Have you considered using the TDM file format instead of the LVM format? With TDM you specify parameters for your file and your channels. When you want to read data from the file you can extrac data based on those parameters. So you could construct a search that extracts the data from a particular time, or all the data that was acquired in a 10 minute period for example.
There are a few VIs you would have to become familiar with to do this (the datalog VIs are located in a palette on the File IO palette), but it would probably be easier for you to use these then to construct the file yourself and then program in all the search parameters.
Here are some resources with more information on the TDM format:
TDM Data Format
Introduction to LabVIEW Data Storage VIs
They should help you decide if you would like to use this format or stick with the LVM format.

HT201272 I downloaded previous songs frm my iPad on the iPhone and I realized I was being charged for this when I thought it'd be free

Hello I had a bunch of songs on my iPad and a friend told me I can re-download them onto my iPhone with the username I have and I did that and I was charged for them. I really wish I knew I would of been charged for this or else I would of had to wait until I can do so without being overdrawn in my bank account.

You can, but you need to click the "Purchased" section of the iTunes Store to see your previously purchased stuff (you'll see little "cloud" icons to indicate your just downloading, not repurchasing). If you're on your phone, you click "More" then "Purchased" and you'll see everything there.
You should contact Apple support. Using iTunes for the Mac or PC, go to the iTunes Store, click your account name to get to your account section, then you can look at your purchase history and "report a problem" for a specific purchase.

Being Charged for data plan I don't need

It's that time of the two year contract with two out of three phones up for a renewal on our contract. Two phones need to be replaced. I stop in at the local Verizon store to get our options, costs, etc. While discussing the two year contract and reviewing the phones my kids picked out, Joe (Verizon employee) informs me that the phones the kids picked out have a required a data plan that costs $9.99 a month. Now the phones the kids picked out are middle of the range text messaging phones. Not a Blackberry or a Droid.
I explain to Joe that I'm not interested in the data plan as the kids don't need internet service on their cell phones. This apparently does not matter to Verizon as this is a required charge now. Joe explains that I can block this service while still having to play $9.99 per phone each month. So that I get this straight, I asked Joe if my math was correct. I will be paying an additional $240 a year for a data plan service that I do not want or need? "Yes ma'am" was his reply. He then points me in the direction of the three flip phones that do not require a data plan. Now even this was laughable as he explains that these phones are more for the "elderly". Oh yeah, I'm going to bring my 2 teenagers into the store and point them over to the "elderly" phones. Ha!
Interestingly enough, I bought the EnV3 recently and did not have to purchase the data plan. To purchase the exact same EnV3 now, I would incur this data plan charge. This makes absolutely no sense to me other than Verizon being greedy.
So then I leave the store and walk directly over to another wireless store and ask one simple question. Do I have to pay for a service that 1) I don't want and 2) don't need? The answer was "no". He quoted the same phone plan to what I'm have now, but will not be charged for coverages I do not want. Off the bat, I'm saving $20 a month over Verizon. And he's comped two new phones for free. Nothing out of pocket for new phones. The man at this store then advised me to determine what my cancellation fees would be with Verizon in order to better make a decision on whether or not to switch.
I walk back to the Verizon store, put my name back into the system. While waiting, Julie (Verizon employee) asks me why I'm looking into cancelling my service. I explain the situation while she grins nicely and slightly nods her head. She has a teenage daughter and she understands. We discuss the need of limiting teenagers and internet service. She explained that even as an employee she had to pay for this service and did not want it. Well, Julie I have a choice.
I don't remember the name of the next VE but we review the cancellations fees etc. $225 due if I should cancel before my contract expires. (I can cancel during my contract and still not have to pay as much as incurring the new data plan charges.) He is doing everything he can at this point to keep my service. I ask him if he can waive a data plan service fees that I do not want. No, he cannot.
So thinking this whole through, I'm not willing to spend the extra money for a service that I do not want. I am not willing to provide my teens with a data plan on their cell phones that I have no control over. They have plenty of opportunities to access the internet without having it in their palm 24/7. Plus knowing teenagers, I wouldn't want to incur the add-on expenses for the data plan overrages. You know as well as I do, once they know they have it, it will be used and they will not have a clue on how to limit internet access. Yes, I am one of those moms that refuse to pay for everything their little hearts desire and like hell will I waste $240 a year because Verizon demands this data plan.
It's clear that Verizon does not have a clue on this. I would rather spend the $ to get out of a plan with a greedy company- than feed more money into their operation when they clearly don't have their finger on the pulse of what families need. So, after having been with Verizon Wireless for 14 years and quite happy with them and the service, I will be switching at the end of the month.

Dawn, I'm right there with you....
I've been a "Verizon" customer for over 15 years (records carried over from when I was Cellular One and they got bought out by VZW)... and I currently have 1 primary and 3 supplemental lines for family. In the past it was never a problem to get a multi-media phone for my teen because he likes to have his music with him.. obviously... he's a teen. And in the past there has NEVER been a charge for any time of "data plan" for the MM phones.. which is good. So now his phone is eligible for an upgrade, and he'd like to have the EnV3 which has the MM features. However good ol' VZW being the monopoly that they are now wants a long time customer to pay for a data plan....a $9.99/month data plan for 25MB downloads. More over, in order to ensure my teen doesn't surpass the 25MB/month, I'd have to subscirbe (at an additional price of $4.99/month) for Usage Control features for the line. So now VZW wants this line to go from being a simple $9.99/month to $25.00 just because a MM phone??!! What's worse, is that my teen already has an LG Voyager (a MM phone), yet I have services for mobile web, data downloads and such BLOCKED on his line. So answer me this... why should I have to mandatorily pay a mandatory $15/month fee for a service I'm not using in the first place?!!
VZW has slowly but surely penny-anny'd their customers over the years and I'm finally fed up with it. Time to switch. Even if the other carriers do require a data plan with their phones, at least I'll know what I'm getting up front and no suprises along the way. VZW's "New every two" means NEW AND MORE CHARGES EVERY 2 YEARS... that's for sure!

Does anyone know what the difference is in the various dates in LR?

Does anyone know what the differences are between the following:

I understand that Date Time Original is the capture time and that Date Time is capture time except when the image is a copy of another image that was created using Edit In... So, what is Date Time Digitalized?
Thank you.

Whats the difference (Generic Master Data Source vs Transaction Data Sce)

Hi Gurus,
I have been wondering on whats the difference when creating GENERIC Data Sources:
1.) Transaction Data
2.) Master Data
Pls. dont give an answer like (A Master Data Generic Data Source is used to populate Master Data Info Objects and Transaction data Sources are used to populate ODS and CUBES.)
This definition is FALSE since I can use a "Master Data (Data Source)" to populate my ODS.
They only differ in Process Chain since the Action when loading data using Generic Masterdata Data Source is Attribute Change Run. Unlike when loading ODS using Transaction Data Source will use "Activate ODS Data".
Hope Somebody will clarify this...

Hi Jkyle,
at the moment I think it is more or less a grouping information in BW and additionally a information for you, your users, ... what type of data is being loaded thru the datasource.
With grouping I mean just a type of information used for the list that opens if you'll assign a datasource to a infosource.
With type of data I mean some sort of classification of the data for a special application. I can imagine, that the same data can be used as transactional data as well as as master data depending on the application. A good example for this can be the header data. For some applications you have header (transactional) datasources providing a header counter and additonally you have the document number (basically the header information) with some attributes as master data.
May be there is a difference in the function modules that are called to extract the data, I am not sure about this.
Hope this help a bit.
regards

Why apple dont make siri on ipod touch 4 and iphone 4??? whats the difference??

why apple dont make siri on ipod touch 4 and iphone 4??? whats the difference??

The iPhone 4S has at least twice the memory and twice the processing power than the 4G iPod. That may be why Siri is onon the iPhone 4S. Apple has not really given a reason.

I was informed that my data plan was eligible for a free upgrade from 250mb to 750mb and told the rep to do so. but it was never done. I am being charged for overage. What do I do?

I called in to do a temp upgrade on my data and was told by the rep that my account was eligible for a free upgrade. I said okay, but it never happened and now I am being charged for an overage. When I check my plan specifics I see that my data is set to the old amount, I will not pay what I don't owe. Now I am having trouble contacting anyone to help resolve this issue.

Dusty4691,
This is a stumper! As MrHelper stated, we do not have a 750MB plan so I'm curious as to what that offer was. How much data did you end up using for the month and how much were you charged in overages?

Whats the difference between these two queries ? - for tuning purpose

Whats the difference between these two queries ?
I have huge amount of data for each table. its takeing such a long time (>5-6hrs).
here whice one is fast / do we have any other option there apart from listed here....
QUERY 1:
SELECT --<< USING INDEX >>
 field1, field2, field3, sum( case when field4 in (1,2) then 1 when field4 in (3,4) then -1 else 0 end)
 FROM
 tab1 inner join tab2 on condition1 inner join tab3 on condition2 inner join tab4 on conditon3
 WHERE
 condition4..10 and
 GROUP BY
 field1, field2,field3
 HAVING
 sum( case when field4 in (1,2) then 1 when field4 in (3,4) then -1 else 0 end) <> 0;
QUERY 2:
 SELECT --<< USING INDEX >>
 field1, field2, field3, sum( decode(field4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, -1, 4, -1 ,0))
 FROM
 tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4
 WHERE
 condition1 and
 condition2 and
 condition3 and
 condition4..10
 GROUP BY
 field1, field2,field3
 HAVING
 sum( decode(field4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, -1, 4, -1 ,0)) <> 0;
[pre]

My feeling here is that simply changing join syntax and case vs decode issues is not going to give any significant improvement in performance, and as Tubby points out, there is not a lot to go on. I think you are going to have to investigate things along the line of parallel query and index vs full table scans as well any number of performance tuning methods before you will see any significant gains. I would start with the Performance Manual as a start and then follow that up with the hard yards of query plans and stats.
Alternatively, you could just set the gofast parameter to TRUE and everything will be all right.

Whats the Difference Between BOM and Components??

Hi all,
I tried to create a SubContracting PO,i found BOM and Components in Item Tab
but if i click components and BOM same data details exists,then whats the difference between component and BOM??
and also Pls give me method of Creating PO with BOM
Thanks a lot in advance

Dear Veeranna Chavadi,
This is some infirmation about BOM in PO subcontract
1) The purchasing department processing time defined for the plant
2) The planned delivery time from the material master record or purchasing info record
3) The delivery date
4) The goods receipt processing time from the material master record
For Ex:
Processing time Planned del. GR processing
Purchasing time time
Release PO Delivery Date
date date date required
Date required: 10.09.2007
GR processing time: 2 days (working days)
Planned delivery time: 10 days (calendar days)
Purchasing dept processing time: 2 days (working days)
Requirement date less GR processing time, planned delivery time, and purchasing department processing time.
Hope you understand, this is as per the SAP help.
what happen to u r query, if BOM is exploding please close this thread as answered
Hope this helps you

Whats the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio

Aren't they both used for designing applications?
And do one really need Essbase Studio?

Whats the difference between EPMA and Essbase Studio ^^^It is a bit confusing, isn't it? As far as I understand EPMA's role, it's a way to share common dimensions and data across multiple Oracle EPM products including Essbase, Planning, and HFM. I actually don't know if other products live in EPMA. What EPMA does not have is a nice way of sourcing or manipulating dimension and fact tables (or even files). Oh, there are interface tables, but you will write code/use the EPMA dimension utility to load dimensions. I have to say I've never tried to load data through EPMA so someone else is going to have to comment on that. Once dimensions are built, you can deploy Essbase (and other products) from common and database-specific dimensions.
Studio is the tool you would use to go against a data warehouse, or something awfully close to a data warehouse to build Essbase databases. It's for Essbase only -- Planning, HFM, etc. are not the targets of Studio's output.
What gets confusing/intriguing is that when EPMA deploys Essbase apps, it uses Studio under the covers to do so. Thus the interesting implementations where people use Studio (which is way more flexible than EPMA because it is a development tool as opposed to a dimension/data management app) to read the EPMA interface tables (and for all I know, the base EPMA tables) and build Essbase apps that way.
If you think there is overlap, I would agree with you, but you can see they really aren't the same.
And do one really need Essbase Studio?^^^You don't have to use Studio to build Essbase databases. You can go hog-wild in EAS with SQL load rules if you want, although at some point it probably will be easier/more straightforward to build it in Studio. Although Studio has been mentioned as the replacement for EAS for some time, I suspect the effort required to build a database in Studio will keep EAS around for quite a while or Studio Lite will have to come out. There's a lot to be said (sometimes) for the amazing flexibility EAS/Essbase have -- Studio requires a more methodical approach and EPMA has a very formal set of standards and methods.
Whew, I'm sorry, I wrote a book about this and I'll bet you get a bunch of differing opinions on this.
If you're interested in Studio, you might do well to pick up a copy of Glenn Schwartzberg's "Look Smarter Than You Are with Oracle Essbase Studio 11". I receive not a penny from its sale although I was one of the copy editors (hey, I got a mention in the acknowledgements). It's a good book and an excellent introduction to the tool.
