Different fields for mobile/home phone gone in 4.0

In the older version, when you added a contact, you had the option of selecting home phone, work phone, mobile, etc. In 4.0, that seems to be gone, and the only field is for mobile. Am I missing something? Do you have to add separate contacts for home and mobile?

You tap the word 'mobile' and a list of possible fields appears.
And, of course, you can add more fields for more numbers and do the same

Are there any known good home phone systems for the Home Phone Connect

I've had the Home Phone Connect now for several months. I have had a Panasonic KX-TG7641 for a good while now. I bought this system to connect a cell phone through the Bluetooth to make a receive calls at home. This cell phone stayed docked in the charger next to the Panasonic base station. There were a few extra steps involved in order to make calls using the Bluetooth and every time my mother-in-law visits it is an extensive training process to show her how to use the phone. Every. Time. She. Makes. A. Call.
I saw the HPC and figured I could simplify the system and since the cell we kept connected was off contract, I got the HPC for free and signed up for 2 years with it. This was a mistake. While I can always hear the callers on the line, they sometimes report that I am too garbled to understand. Today I knew I was going to be on the phone on hold for a while, so I used my home phone handset for comfort (vice holding my Galaxy up to my head for an extended period of time)
After a 30 minute on-hold with the Veterans Administration I finally got through to an operator who informed me she could barely hear me/broken and garbled. Where I have my HPC at it is right in a window and I have steady 2 bars on it always. I told her I could call back on my cell phone, but she insisted we power through it so I wouldn't have to wait again on hold. Well we eventually made it through the call.
After hanging up I used my Google powers to see what the issue it/how to fix it. It appears that the people that have issues when using the HPC also have Panasonic phones/base stations connected to it. This might be because Panasonic phones are widely available and are the most common ones in use, but it might also be in that something is incompatible between the 2 systems. Odd, since the way it connects is similar to an old POTS. Could it have something to do with the DECT 6.0 that hey use (on the 1.9GHz band) where other older devices use standard 2.4 or 5.8?

Thank you for the tip. Sorry if it's the wrong forum. I don't post here often. I searched for the Home Phone Connect under devices and found it under "Other" so figured this was the best place to post it. Could you point me to the correct place for the HPC discussions?
I'll double check later when I'm home on my computer to see iff the problems being reported are all using the DECT 6.0 (1.9GHz). Might be causing some interference of some sort.

Q abt. "Server Side File Tracking for Mobile Home Sync"

I am following the steps "To optimize the file server for mobile accounts" which are listed on page 157 in Mac OS X Server v10.6 - User Management :
In Server Admin, click the disclosure triangle for the server hosting network home folders for mobile accounts.
If Firewall isn’t listed, select the server, click Settings, click Services, select Firewall, and then click Save.
Select Firewall, click Settings, and then click Services.
Choose the address range for your users’ computers from the “Edit Services for” pop-up menu.
Select “Allow only traffic from ‘ipaddress’ to any of these ports,” select the Allow checkbox for Mobile Account Sync (port 2336), and then click Save.
Select the server, click Settings, and then click General.
Select “Server Side File Tracking for Mobile Home Sync” and then click Save.
My questions is:
In step 2, I added "Firewall" to the services. I continued with the following steps, but nowhere does it say to press the button "Start Firewall", so as of right now Firewall is listed, but not activated - it's gray and not green. Should I turn on the Firewall Service? In my setup, a cable modem/router is acting Firewall between WAN and LAN (small private home network).

I can't get Server Side File Tracking to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's what I've done:
1. Followed the instructions in "Mac OS X Server v10.6 - User Management" as per the first post in this thread.
2. Tried turning on the Firewall Service - resulting in clients unable to log in to their network accounts.
3. In Server Admin, under Firewall>Settings>Services, with 192.168-net selected in the pop-up menu entitled "Editing services for", I then chose "Allow all traffic" (instead of "Allow only traffic to these ports:") as my router acts as a Firewall in my setup. Now users can log in to their network accounts again, but Server Side File Tracking is still not working. How do I know it is not working?
According to infinite vortex in this other thread, the syncing window is supposed to only show this:
On my clients, you can see it scan through the home directory before the file copying/syncing actually starts.

Accessing the field values in different fields for calculation

Hi,
I am creating a report in which I have used breaks for grouping the customers by their category. I have used summary on the amount field to calculate the sum in the individual category and also for total amount.
Now, I also want to add an column which could display the percentages of individual contributions.
So, its like I have to write a query accessing the total percentage, categorized percentage and individual amount.
My question: How can I access the various fields values in the query of some other field specifically sum and total sum( because it shows the sum([Amount]) for category sum and total sum both)
-BOBJuser

Hmmm, I assume you are talking about WebIntelligence here...
Ok, so let's go: you can access every "object" in the report simply by it's name. Every cell contains either a constant value (e.g. some text) or a formula, the simplest one can be just the value of an "object" from the query.
There is a formula bar on top which you can activate, where you can easily see the content of a specific cell and also copy/paste the formula from the cell, as well as access all the built-in functions.
WebI has a built-in calculator which works very similar to a "micro" olap engine, so you can access every sort of aggregate (of a measure) via a correspondig formula, irrelevant in which cell you are using it.
Nevertheless, there is a "computation context" which depends on the place where you put the formula, e.g. summary row, detail row, etc.

Different batteries for work/home?

I have had trouble with my MBPro battery lately, and I'm checking out other threads, too, but I keep my laptop plugged in all day at work, so I was wondering if I should consider buying another battery for normal use at home, and use the current battery (charge holds for about 25 minutes) at work in case of power failure at the office.
Any suggestions? I'm looking into the battery update, too.
Thanks.

Have you noted the battery replacement programs by Apple? - As well as particular battery serial numbers, there can be replacement of a battery which is less than 80% of original capacity after fewer than 300 cycles. Check System profiler for your battery state.
There are those who recommend having a spare battery on hand so that you don't get so easily caught out. As you use your computer for work that is probably a wise course of action.

Trying to send a different field for PU12

Hi everyone,
As of now, the position text that PU12 is sending for the OR segment (P0001) is of length 25 (PLSTX from table T528T). However, I have a requirement where I need to send the position text as length 40 (as can be seen on the OM side-table HRP1000-STEXT depending on the OBJID and OTYPE).
Is there any way for me to do that?
Thanks and regards,

This Verizon web settings for home phone is totally screwed up

I attempt to review/update my calling features.
From the main page (http://www22.verizon.com/ForYourHome/MyAccount/Protected/Overview/MyOverview.aspx), I do 'My Services' -> 'Home Phone' -> 'Home Phone Overview'. Then I click on 'Update Calling Features', and it comes up with
===== We are looking up your account information and checking for available services. This will only take a moment. =====
Then it shows some type of {please keep your posts courteous} order review. The web URL is https://www22.verizon.com/FORYOURHOME/GOFLOW/MyVerizonNew/ADDCHANGESERVICES.ASPX.
How screwed up is that? All I want to do is to review my calling features. This is totally screwed!

An update: This morning, I got a call from from Verizon support saying the problem had been fixed. I tried -- it wasn't fixed. So I gave tech support a call, I allowed them to remotely drive my PC so they could see for themselves that I still had the problem. After that, the tech support guy gave me a work-around for the problem; a new URL to bypass the verizon home page and go directly to the calling features settings. So, at least now, I can view/adjust the settings for my home phone. The tech support guy was helpful and at least now, I have a work around.

We have unlimited talk and text, and 10gb of data shared on 2 smartphones, 1 regular phone, and a home wifi device. But Skype or FaceTime eat up a large portion of our current 10gb/month plan. We need the mobile home wifi device because we use it in our

We currently have verizon for four devices: two smart phones, one dumb phone, and a home wifi device. Unlimited text and calls, with 10GB data sharing on all devices. We have the wifi device because we live part of the year in NC, the other part in our RV. So we need the flexibility of moving our wifi with us without being chained to a contract at one address. However, FaceTime and Skype eat up a HUGE portion of our 10GB. We really love FaceTime or Skype because our daughter and grandkids live overseas.

Yeah I know there are tons of free wifi places but their home is 9 hours ahead of our timezone, so it is not always that easy to find one that is open and not noisy when they are all awake.
I noticed on our home wifi device we are paying $30/month for voice and data, i.e. home phone and internet. Since we have cell phones, we do not have a home phone so I am not sure why we are paying for a home phone service. Couldn't I just change that device plan to be internet only? Saves me $10/month

Mobile homes unreliable and unstable

We are having major problems with Apple's mobile home sync. I hope you can help. I will also contact Apple support. When I hear something useful from them I will get back to this topic and add the info.
We have a studio of 20 graphical workstations and we've had issues that users did not backup their home folder/work. After a lot of discussion and contemplating we bought a new server for mobile homes. So, users have their home folder where they do all of their daily work and every morning and evening when they login and when they logout their home folder is being synced to the server so that all their latest work in on the server. The server is being backupped every night so in this way all data will be backupped and save. That was the idea…
But unfortunately mobile homes seem to be very unstable and unreliable and we are having several issues. Although people login and logout every day without any problem and homesync informs us that syncing goes fine it doesn't sync everything. All home folders are having issues. When I check the backup the most recent data is not in the home folder where it should be. When I check the home on the server it isn't there, or documents are there but not the latest. When I check the home on the workstation it is there where do user put it. When I check the sync status it says everything is OK and the latest sync is of that day. So that is (major!) issue one.
Issue two is that I've had two users complaining that they move their data around in the home folder, just doing their work, and when they log in the next day their data is on the OLD place AND the NEW place. Very time consuming for them and confusing and it is very obvious that the sync process doesn't work.
Another issue is that I've had a couple of users already complaining that when log in they get sync errors. Nothing major in most cases, a file being in use or something and the next sync it syncs without a problem. But now for 3 users it seemed that their folder had problems syncing and whatever I do, I cannot get the folder to sync again, without any clear reason in the logs. I end up deleting everything in their home on the server, delete all appropriate sync caches, preferences, the FileSync folder in the library and the .FileSync folder in home and thus creating a new sync again. Only then when I do the first sync, the syncing process starts working again.
Important to know is that every user has their own workstations and that they do not change workstations. So in that regard they have all their data in one place, THEIR workstation, and that data has to sync one-way: to the server. I could imagine that when people change stations on a regular basis it is hard for the sync system to keep up with the latest changes, but that can't be the issue here.
Any help, tips, solutions, comments, etc. etc. are very much appreciated.

Aren't you going to run into update conflicts when someone back at the office updates files you also update when offline?
Perhaps a cellular data plan would solve your problem?

Sort an object by different fields

Hello!
Sorry for the (maybe) bad englisch but I'm a German.
If I have an object fith different fields for example field1, field2, field3.
To write a method which sorts an array of this objects by a given field?
I mean something like this
sort(String field, object[] o) {
//sort by field
instead of this
sortbyfield1(object o){
//sort by "field1"
sortbyfield2(object[] o){
//sort by "field2"
hope you understood
thanks
Stefan

When faced with this problem I usually use a Comparator helper class. Depending on whether the Comparator can be re-used I'll create a separate class or if not an inner or anonymous inner class. For example:
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Collections;
public class Main {
// Compares Fields.f1 ascending
public Comparator c1 = new Comparator() {
    public int compare(Object o1,
                       Object o2) {
      return ((Main.Fields)o1).f1.compareTo(((Main.Fields)o2).f1);
public void sortem() {
    // Create our array of objects
    Object[] array = new Object[] {
      new Fields(new Integer(1),3,"3"),
      new Fields(new Integer(2),2,"1"),
      new Fields(new Integer(3),1,"2")
    // Sort on Field.f1 using reusable comparator
    Arrays.sort(array,c1);
    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(array));
    // Sort on Field.f2 using inner class
    Arrays.sort(array,new C2());
    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(array));
    // Sort on f3 using an anonymous inner class
    Arrays.sort(array, new Comparator(){
      public int compare(Object o1,
                       Object o2) {
        return((Main.Fields)o1).f3.compareTo(((Main.Fields)o2).f3);
    System.out.println(Arrays.asList(array));
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Main m = new Main();
    m.sortem();
// Class with many fields of different types
class Fields {
    public Integer f1;
    public int     f2;
    public String f3;
    public Fields(Integer f1, int f2, String f3) {
      this.f1 = f1;
      this.f2 = f2;
      this.f3 = f3;
    public String toString() {
      return ""+f1+" "+f2+" "+f3;
// Inner class comparator on Field.f2
class C2 implements Comparator {
    public int compare(Object o1,
                       Object o2) {
      int result = 0;
      int i1 = ((Main.Fields)o1).f2;
      int i2 = ((Main.Fields)o2).f2;
      if (i1==i1) result = 0;
      if(i1<i2) result = -1;
      else if (i1>i2) result = 1;
      return result;

Initial Sync and Mobile Home Creation

Hello,
I have been using PHDs successfully in an OD environment for some time now, but currently am having an issue with the initial sync when a user logs onto a new workstation.
Some background: We are using PHDs as pseudo-network home folders due to limitations in Pro Tools and its inability to function while working off of a network based home. Not ideal, but it's where we are at if we want to allow users to move from room to room but without using network homes...
Our environment:
- AD / OD mixed environment (working beautifully at the moment)
- Separate server acting as home folder host (we'll call it afphome)
- Clients managed by OD via computer groups
The basic issue is that when a user logs onto a new workstation, the initial sync only creates a local home based on the standard template, despite the presence of a sync progress bar (stating "Checking..." only) during the initial log-in. If the user logs out immediately, a sync occurs, but may preferences are overwritten during this sync (namely finder). When the user logs back in, syncs occur normally, but those overwritten preferences are here to stay.
How can I force PHD to do a full "from server" sync when a new home is being created locally, assuming that a network home exists for the user already?
Many thanks,
Josh

Just found your post as I was having a similar problem. Our setup was with all Apple OD though.
I had exactly the same problem with new workstations having the user setup with the default template. We also had some odd problems syncing specific files we never had trouble with before. Our issue arrived last week when our main sharing and userhomes data drive died and we had to recover from a backup. Once we recovered, everything except for sync of portable home directories came back properly.
After doing some searching, I figured that I did not stand to lose anything if I shut off Server Admin > our server > Settings > General > Server side file tracking for Mobile Home Sync. Rebooted the server. Suddenly the clients with file troubles sync fine and creation of new users on a new workstation actually duplicates the network user.
I'm not sure about other implications of shutting off the server side tracking but now we sync correctly again.

Home Phone Automatically Forwarding to VZW Cell

My Comcast land line home phone automatically forwards to my new VZW Samsung S5. This was not happening before I got the new smart phone. Turning off call forwarding on the land line using *73 does not stop the forwarding.
When I first got the new S5, one of the set up screens asked me to enter my home phone number, which I did. I suspect this has something to do with why the home phone is now automatically forwarding to the cell.
Any ideas on how to turn this off?
Thanks.

RichmondTarga,
That seems to be a strange issue that is going on. Let's route these calls to the right number. Do you have a Comcast application on your device at all? When it was asking for your home phone number do you remember what section the setup process you were on? Please keep us posted.

Selecting different ringtone for in holster in OS v5.0 for BlackBerry 8520

Updated yesterday to OS v5.0.
Previously in v4.7 it was possible to select a different ringtone for when the phone was out the holster and a different one for when in the Holster.
I cannot do that now with v5.0. All that I can now do is turn the ringtone off or on when in the holster but not select a different ringtone.
Is there any way of doing this like in v4.7?
THanks.

That should have done it. Try the instructions below:
You want to download this file:
File name: 8520wifijEastAsia_PBr5.0.0_rel860_PL5.2.0.47_A5.0.0.509_Globe_Telecom__Inc.exe
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

Using home phone for Skype

can I use a home phone(landline) to make and recieve calls from mobiles or landlines? I do not want to use the computer all the time to make calls. I want my daughter to be able to call friends and family with a basic home phone.
Thank you

Here is a different but excellent solution. My internet router contains a built-in facility that allows it to 'log in' to any internet phone number (not just Skype), and calls ring on a standard DECT cordless handset (or a wired telephone). Does same for outgoing calls as well. It's very versatile.
Skype will rent you an internet phone number (but not cheap) but I suggest using a service from http://www.localphone.com/?rb=sN5bXhfv1nxSJQl6oRD9K30iNkAOCq6vKbL9cuLDf_E . Their internet phone numbers are free; dialing to any country is cheap; and you can rent a dial-in number in many countries for about $1 per month. Forwarding to the internet phone number is free, as is the router picking up the call. As the people whoi call me have free calls to my number, the only cost is the $1 monthly line rental. EXCELLENT!
My router is a German-made Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7390, but many of their other models have similar functionality (7490, 7360, 7330, 7272 - look for logos for 'DECT' and 'Telefonie' at http://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/ . You can order from Amazon (DE, CO.UK or COM at least)
