Dealing with the sensor issue

Based on 100% consistent results testing 4 demo phones at the Apple store today, plus the genius' phone as well as my own - not to mention responses I've gotten here, I think most problems people have with the proximity sensor is because the sensor goes to a lower power (or fewer pulses) when you have it on your ear.
Some normal movements can cause the power to go even lower so that even when on your ear, the screen can turn on if your ear canal is deep enough and you place the sensor right over that.
Video proof at http://picturehawaii.blogspot.com/201009_01archive.html
Most important test, so far, is third from the top on that page.
With this experience in mind and knowing some people see no real-life problems, I would suggest considering the following things:
1. Are kids having a problem (smaller ears may be a big benefit considering the problem).
2. Do women have the problem as much as men (maybe smaller ears or maybe hair over the ear makes a difference).
3. What is the shape of your ear? Don't know how to guide you in making such comparisons, but it is likely a factor.
As you consider these things, there are some results I can't explain - unless it is just random chance. Key one is why do some people get improvement with 4.1 and others have it get worse? I sure don't know.

I know. I have a 3G which never had this problem.
But how do you know it is a hardware problem? I've clearly shown the distance CHANGING and no one has given an explanation for how the things I did in testing would cause that by hardware.
Another user posted how the sensor power or pulses are reduced and that would be controlled by software.
Not saying hardware can't be involved as well, but I think the tests show software is a major factor.
But I'm open to an explanation for how the hardware would be affected by what I'm doing.
Oh, and while I did a lot of tests with the card, I've started working today on doing it with my fingers and the results are NOT good.
As I expected, the card is probably more reflective than skin so the tests I've done so far with my finger shows the screen turning off at a lower distance to start and even lower as the test progresses.
Unfortunately, measurement is going to be even more imprecise this way. A finger isn't as flat for one thing, and it is harder to be sure it is directly over the sensor. That may also reduce the distance.

Dealing with the freeze issue too. However, their fix didn't seem to take permanently. Anybody have another solution?

I called support and was told to change which version of my video card to select when creating a new project. I changed it from the "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" to the "Software only" setting when making the choice under "General: Video Rendering and Playback." Apparently, my Windows 7 Professional machine's graphics card causes a problem for Premeire Pro so, it has to be selected this way. However, this morning, my son ran into the same problem. we reset the selection but, still get the freeze and crash. Help?

Can anyone suggest anyway I could move forward or anywhere I could make a formal complaint?

I have seen many blogs and chat sites discussing the problems with iOS 6 but none seem to cover the issues I'm experiencing. Is anyone else dealing with the following issues?

The volume control is sometimes missing when I play music then mysteriously reappears later. Music is playing but can't be heard on phone speakers or external speakers. Then sometimes after turning the mute button on and off and using the volume controls the audio will return. Sometimes the clicker noise that's heard when typing stops working then suddenly starts again in the middle of composing a message. Sometimes when attempting to touch the screen so i can type, I'm unable to. I only started having these problems after downloading the new ios. Am I alone in these issues or are others experiencing then as well.

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

Proactively dealing with the heat.

Many user's of the new macbook's and macbook pro's are recognizing the high heat issues of these machines. Some however report of having no significant heat experience at all. I do not see any reason why some macbook's who get uncomfortably hot and some wouldn't. Is it possible that some user's w/o complaints simply haven't used thier computer for long enough periods to establish a significant heat level? Most people don't even use a computer for longer than an hour or so,. Personally, my macbook gets a little warm. But this is only after an hour or so. During the first hour, following a long rest/sleep, the heat is fine. After that I must say that it gets a little warm on my lap, enough for me to shift it around every once and a while. But it really doesn't bother me that much. But the key word here. "ME."
I venture to say this:
All macbook's and macbook pro's and quite possibly all notebook's will get hot to uncomfortable point if used for a long enough period. However, since the description "uncomfortable" is entirely subjective, we will get:
1. More extreme reports from user's with very sensitive skin.
2. Mild or no report at all from user's not sensitive enough for the warmth to get to them.
3. Report's of no heat problems whatsoever from user's who do not use thier computer's for long enough periods, or long enough sitting's to warrant the upper heat levels (by far, the vast majority of user's will be in this category and you will never hear a word from them. If you do, it will be very positive, which is entirely O.K. and honest and absolutely understandable, albeit perhaps a bit misleading to a different user.)
4. Report's of no heat from user's who, in the much understandable excitement of having just recieved the macbook, have prematurely posted a no heat experience without even having used thier machine long enough.
Personally, I fall under the #2 group. If the heat begin's to bother me I just shift the computer a little bit or put it on the table instead. I, out of what I would call common sense, never expected that a notebook would not be hot.
Notebook's are going to get hot. Cram all that power into such a small area and heat will certainly be produced. Now one can argue for the reasons why but one can also not escape the fact that pretty much all laptop and notebook computer's get very warm after extended use periods or processor heavy periods. With the current technology there is not a way to remove this issue.
All this being said, we must discover ways of minimizing that heat if we should want to use our notebooks indeed as "laptops." I am open to dealing with the heat issue and am open to any advice any of you can offer to minimize this inherent issue. Those of us who are bothered by the heat level and have found or know of ways of reducing it should speak. Does anyone care to start?
(DO NOT POST TO TELL ME THAT YOU HAVE NO HEAT PROBLEMS. THE HEAT PROBLEMS ARE NOT BAD. THEY ARE JUST THERE. WETHER OR NOT YOU DEFINE IT AS A PROBLEM DEPENDS ENTIRE UPON YOU AND YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIECE. I WANT ONLY TO DEAL WITH THEM HERE.)

A simple visit to an Apple store (if geographically possible) will show that your model, the 1.83ghz MacBook, appears to be the coolest to the touch along the bottom and topsides, of all models. Oddly, in one of the stores we visited (of 3), the temperature varied among the same configurations. ie. Black MacBooks along side one another, where one was much, much warmer than the other, confirmed by store members and personnel. A 17" MacBook Pro was the coolest to the touch, but possibly because the larger surface area of the shell made for a greater radiator or heat sink, if you will.
We have 2 MacBooks, an iMacIntel Duo 20", and a venerable 17" G4 Powerbook. The heat generated varies remarkably on the Intel processors depending on configuration of memory, usage, climate and the programs running.
Now if the Macbooks only had a backlit keyboard, then it would be nearly perfect for those night time living room surfing in the dark evenings at our house.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.
I have heard of memory leak in OS that too because of some external application or rouge drivers SQL server 2008 R2 if patched to latest SP and CU ( may be if required) does not leaks memory.
Are you in opinion that since SQL is taking lot of memory and then not releasing it is a memory leak.If so this is not a memory leak but default behavior .You need to set proper value for max server memory in sp_configure to limit buffer pool usage.However
sql can take more memory from outside buffer pool if linked server ,CLR,extended stored procs XML are heavily utilized

ITunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved? What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?

iTunes randomly stops playing purchases that have previously viewed on the same hardware. It has an error message about HD. How can this issue be resolved? What information is available besides the "learn more" option that does not deal with the problem?
Many people have the same problem. However, there is little or nothing readily available to users. This problem has existed for two or more years. Does anyone have anything to offer about this disturbing problem?

Thanks for the suggestion kcell. I've tried both versions
9.0.115 and 9.0.124 and both fail with the policy permission error.
I also tried with and without your crossdomain.xml file but
with the same result. It looks like this file is intended for URL
policy, instead of socket policy. Recently Adobe separated the two.
When I run with the files installed on my dev PC, it does
work, which makes sense because the flash player isn't loaded from
an unknown domain.
I did get one step closer. If a crossdomain.xml in the server
root exists and the socketpolicy file is loaded from the app folder
then the first two warnings disappear. The logs now show:
OK: Root-level SWF loaded:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf
OK: Policy file accepted: https://192.168.2.5/crossdomain.xml
OK: Policy file accepted:
https://192.168.2.5/trunk/socketpolicy.xml
Warning: Timeout on xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:843 (at 3
seconds) while waiting for socket policy file. This should not
cause any problems, but see
http://www.adobe.com/go/strict_policy_files
for an explanation.
Warning: [strict] Ignoring policy file with incorrect syntax:
xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993
Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.2.5:993 by
requestor from https://192.168.2.5/trunk/myapp.swf is denied due to
lack of policy file permissions.
Which basically says, everything is okay, but you stay out
anyway.
PS: I found the XML schema files here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_02.html
and the socket policy schema:
http://www.adobe.com/xml/schemas/PolicyFileSocket.xsd.
UPDATE: When serving up the policy file on port 843 using the
example perl script then the socket connection seems to be accepted
and the connect succeeds. After that flex hangs trying to logon to
the IMAP server.

Issues dealing with the Qualified tables

Hi,
I am facing below issues while dealing with the Qualified tables.
Issue # 1. Trying to get the data from the Qualified table through the Main table. Qualified table is set as supporting ResultDefinition. I am able to get the value for only the non-qualifier fields but not the qualifier fields.
Exception: com.sap.mdm.commands.CommandException: com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: Qualifier values are not part of a qualified lookup record
Issue # 2. Need to define the search on the fields of a Qualified table with Main table in the ResultDefinition. I am able to define the search on qualifier fields but not the non-qualifier fields.
Exception:com.sap.mdm.commands.CommandException: com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: Field not found
I would like to know the standard ways to address these issues.
Thanks,
Surendra

Hello,
I was wondering if this issue is solved now. I'm still facing the problem when executing the RetrieveLimitedQualifierValuesCommand:
com.sap.mdm.commands.CommandException: com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: Field not found
Are there other ways to manipulate qualifier field values? Workarounds... alternatives...
Is it related to the MDM Java API version? If yes, is there a fix?
Thanks a lot for your input!

Pedro

How can we handle browser settings while dealing with the security ?

Hi ,
how can we handle browser settings while dealing with the security ?When we configured security in web.xml , during the first request the container is asking for the authentication credentials once they are provided it go's on. but when the user gives a fresh request from the second window within the same browser that time it is not asking for authentication. How can we overcome this.Is there anything to do with server configurations?
How can we make the container no to keep the things or act like session?

Ya... I am taking a small example need not happen always but a kind of possibility i am thinking off.
once the user sign out and just left without closing the browser and a friend (suppose not a good friend ... just kidding...) of that user may open the same jsp or file .This time the security is breached. If that feature or property exists....
I know what you might say ... the user will log-out before leaving where a programer might invalidate the session at the time of log out.
Consider the case of a bad Programing or just a programer might forget to invalidate,At that time as a application administrator how can he solve that issue.
Thanks.......

My brand new Macbook PRO crashed completely after it went through the iOS 10.7.4 update, I lost everything and Apple just wants to replace the HD and let me deal with the hassle.

Last Thursday May 10th I received a prompt from the Automatic Update to update the iOS to Ver. 10.7.4, set the start and was watching the progress when it stopped with an error message saying that it was not able to update, right below there was a buttom "RESTART", pressed the buttom and waited to re-boot.....That was the end of my computer, somehow the update crashed my HD beyond recover, it would only show the gray screen with Apple logo in the center and kept beeping, BEEP BEEP BEEP.....PAUSE.....BEEP BEEP BEEP.....PAUSE.....on and on and on and it never past that.
Friday May 11 I took it to a retailer where I received the bad news that the HD was crashed and the teck couldn't even try to copy anything from it as it couldn't locate it. I checked iCloud on a hope that all my stuff would be there but new surprise, iCloud didn't kept all of my stuff as it was programmed to.
Now here is the funny part, the tech from the retailer informed me that the only thing they could do was to order a new HD for my 4 months old Macbook and that the time to have my computer back will be at least 15 days, now that is the funny part, I fail to understand why do I have to suffer the hassle of loosing all my data plus wait at least 15th days to have my computer back (meanwhile loose work) on a problem caused by Apple, PROBLEM, not machine defect, clearly my computer had no problem untill I followed the procedure to update.
On Saturday May 12 I contacted Local Apple Support (I have failed to mention that I live in Brasil) and they informed me that what the dealer said was the only thing that could be done, too bad for me if I lost everything, going to loose several days of work and whenever I receive my computer back will have to re-construct all my life and deal with the forever lost data.....DEAL WITH IT
After a couple of discussion with Apple Support and the Dealer, I made my decision to take the Macbook to the dealer today for repair and meanwhile I'm opening a case with the Brazilian Justice to have Apple honor with all the trouble and hassle that it is causing me, it's said that I have to take this type of action as I'm a very fan of Apple and it's products, have had several iPods, iPhones, Macbooks, Keyboards, Mouses, Apple TV, etc.....This i the first time I have a problem with a Apple product and got a taste of the "Apple Care", it seems like Apple is more concerned on seeling products then keeping long time customers happy.
One last thing, today when I was at the dealer to drop my computer for repair, the Technician informed me that he also had a computer crashed and the HD erase on Sunday May 13th in the same way of mine, after the update everything was gone, also he said that we were not the only ones, iPads and iPhones were going trough the same situation, update causing complete breakdown.
WORD OF ADVISE, BE 1000% SURE THAT YOU HAVE EVRYTHING BACKED UP BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH AN UPDATE.

If I need to back-up every hour of my life in order to be able to save everything from something like this I won´t do anything else.....at least we should be able to trust that Apple tests this updates so situations like this won´t happen.
That's exactly what Time Machine does for you. It backs up every hour, so you don't have to. While it is backing up, you keep on working. Time Macvhine came with your Mac and you chose not to use it.
The 10.7.4 update did not cause your hard disk to fail. Hard disk fail due to mechanical causes. They are extremely reliable, but that doesn't mean every hard disk will last a long time. Your mileage WILL vary!
If you are dependent on your computer and the data stored on it, then you should make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of all data and probably three or four. You should use at least two means of backing up in case the backup software has a problem. And you should consider having a backup computer if you live in an area where replacement takes too long (whatever too long is for your business).
Apple hardware and software is very, very good. You have documented your experience of this. But NO hardware or software is perfect. You also have experience of this.
It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your system is set up to protect your data and availability of computing resources.

What's the deal with the video format?

Hello! What is the deal with the video format? Does it mean I have to code the videos for 640*480 ? It won't accept any other size? What size do I need to select for widescreen format?
With Quicktime pro I've been able to encode videos with a very nice resolution and small size, then try to synch them to the ipod touch and then the error, it can't be played. I use the .mov format, I like it more but if I have to use .mp4 then I'll use it.
Thanks for the help!

What's the deal with the CC menubar panel?

What's the deal with the CC menubar panel? The tab to the apps are gone -- looks like it wants me to update the panel itself rather than list my installed apps. I've been on CC for about a month, is this common? Thankfully I can still open all apps normally, but the internet seems to think the "CC Way" is a horror show.
Do you guys have trouble after updating the updater? All this talk of running "the cleaner" (a mafia term?) and reinstalling everything with each version bump is kinda scary. It could be that people only post online when things go wrong, and 95% of people update just fine. But since I'm new I guess I'd want some reassurance before committing to a night of Cleaning and Reinstalling...
I'm one of those people who think app updates very 12 to 18 months was just fine (and stable). Would it be harmful to ignore updates for a few months? Lets see, I have a healing brush, smart objects, a blob tool, pretty good 3D in AE, ID seems to handle type pretty well… there's really no reason to update every month is there?

Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa.
