Displaying a data error when NOT in use...

So the phone is in my pocket and as I'm listening to some MP3s this error pops up. It happens randomly and usually when the phone is in my pocket. So if I'm in a meeting and it vibrates... I'm inclined to pick it up and see if it's a text or something. Then... I see this... and it sucks. I can understand if I'm trying to use an app or attempting to refresh my email... but just sitting in my pocket... it's very annoying because I'm inclined to pick it up.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I thank it has to do with the sprint network. Because I just got my palm pre replaced to day and my new pre is doing it too and my old pre started doin it recently it may be something on sprints side

Am I supposed to leave the display plugged in when not in use?

should the display be left plugged in when not in use? is it just like leaving the power cord to the MacBoold Pro plugged in when the computer is off?
thanks

Sure, you can leave the display plugged into the socket, provided you turn OFF the display itself. There must be somewhere some switch or touch button that will turn the display OFF.
Usually, those displays use a lot of power, so it's better to save
I shall add an unrequested piece of advice: if you don't this already, please use some kind of electrical surge protector
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_protector> to connect your computer, display, printer, router, etc to the wall socket.

I just bought a new iphone 4S and its has green and purple striiples on the screen when not in use, I took it back to store and they said it was the display protector that is making the striples?

I just bought a new apple iphone 4S and its has green and purple striples on it when not in use, is this norm? I took it back to the Verizonwirless and they said it was from the display protector on the screen?

it was from the display protector on the screen?
Most likely that is the reason. I have a screen protector on and see similar issues when the iPhone is not on. They're not noticeable when turned on. Remove it and see the difference.

Phone is using data when not in use. How do I make it stop?

My iPhone 4S is using data when not in use. Any thoughts on how to make it stop?

Hello Oakleymp
You could always turn off cellular data in Settings to get it to stop using data while it is on standby. Another option to troubleshoot the issues is to reset all settings, go to Settings > General >Reset > Reset All Settings.

Macbook air runs hot and makes noise like processor running hard when connected to display - even when not actively using air book

macbook air runs hot and makes noise like processor running hard when connected to display - even when not actively using air book

You could use the free tool iStat Pro to see what changes when you connect your MBA to the display. Without doing anything the CPU pane should show a high percentage for "Idle". If the idle value is too low, launch the Activity Monitor and sort by CPU usage. There is a pane showing the different temperatures of your computer. Watch them for a few minutes after connecting the display.

WORKLOAD ANALYSIS (INTROSCOPE DATA) - Error when opening an RFC connection

Hi all SDNers,
Help is needed on error "WORKLOAD ANALYSIS (INTROSCOPE DATA) - Error when opening an RFC connection".
This error occured on RCA -> Extractor FWK administration and go to managed system (PI) and from the log, i can see some extraction failed due to error message " Error when opening an RFC connection"
consequently, JAVA performance data is not appearing in RCA -> workload analysis but work fine for ABAP and adapter engine.
I've followed below notes and perform the troubleshooting step by step by still to no avail:
Note 1332428 - Missing data in service sessions from BI/CCDB
Note 1257308 - FAQ: Using EarlyWatch Alert
Note 1274287 - End-to-End Diagnostics 7.0 EHP1 SP18 to SP27
Note 1265070 - Diagnostics - Setup of Managed Systems
Note 1010428 - End-to-End Diagnostics
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SMSETUP/WorkloadAnalysis-Noapplicabledatafound
steps that have performed:
restarted agent
enlarge RFC resource cap for solmandiag and none
delete entire SID in SMSY and pull again from SLD, re-setup managed system
restart PI system
i've spent 2 days on troubleshooting this issue but lack of information in SMP and SDN, even in google.
in table E2E_EFWK_STATUS and extractor E2E_JAVA_EXTRACTOR_IF, i see all WLI_ID ended with RC 96, MESSAGE = Error when opening an RFC connection and LASTRECORDS = 0
I strongly believe this is the issue that causing no applicable data found for JAVA data.
fyi, we are on SOLMAN EHP1 SPS27.
Any kind advise is most welcome.
Thanks,
Nicholas Chang

Gosh! at last i found the solution!!
I appreciate those who tried to help and i''m sharing the solution as i believe this is the purpose of SDN Forum and help others Netweaver Chap who facing the same problem:
Problem faced:
Extractor failed intermittently for WORKLOAD ANALYSIS (Introscope Data) due to error message "Error when opening an RFC connection"
Due to the above error, performance data is not available in RCA workload analysis for J2EE engine.
Possible Solution:
1) Ensure both webadmin & SOLMANDIAG RFC working fine -> SM59 -> TCP/IP
2) go to SE16 -> E2E_RESOURCES and change the resourcecap to 10 for SOLMANDIAG
3) go to /smd/services -> Diagnostic System -> Advanced Setup -> Abap connectivity -> Connection Configuration and change server count to 10
4) Restart webadmin (step 3 & 4 can perform in VA too)
5) set gw/keepalive & gw/reg_keepalive to value 0 in RZ11 (without reboot of instance)
5) again go to SM59 -> TCP/IP -> SOLMANDIAG and put in the gateway host and gateway service correctly, don't leave this empty!!!! -
> This is the main solution to solve intermittent failed RFC for extractor.
Now, go back and monitor the extractor log and you should see no RFC error anymore and wait for 1 hour for the data to populate.
Thanks!

Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document (Premature end of file.)

Hi folks,
I am using a cascaded mapping in my OM. I have a graphical mapping followed by the Java mapping. It is a flat file to IDOC mapping. Everything works fine in Dev but when I transport the same objects to QA, the Operation mapping though it doesn't fail in ESR testing tool, gives the following message and there is no output generated for the same payload which is successfully tested in DEV. Please advise on what could be the possible reasons.
Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document (Premature end of file.)

kalyan,
There seems to be an invalid xml payload which causes this error in ESR not generating the tree view. Please find the similar error screenshot and rectify the payload.

JavaMapping in PI 7.1 Error:Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing

hi,
i get by testing in PI 7.1 (operation mapping) this ERROR:
"Unable to display tree view; Error when parsing an XML document (Content is not allowed in prolog.)"
this is my java-programm-code:
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformation;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.*;
/*IMPORT statement imports the specified classes and its methods into the program */
/Every Java mapping program must implement the interface StreamTransformation and its methods execute() and setParameter() and extend the class DefaultHandler./
public class Mapping extends DefaultHandler implements StreamTransformation {
Below is the declaration for all the variables we are going to use in the
subsequent methods.
     private Map map;
     private OutputStream out;
     private boolean input1 = false;
     private boolean input2 = false;
     private int number1;
     private int number2;
     private int addvalue;
     private int mulvalue;
     private int subvalue;
     String lineEnd = System.getProperty("line.separator");
setParamater() method is used to store the mapping object in the variable
"map"
     public void setParameter(Map param) {
          map = param;
     public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
               throws com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformationException {
          DefaultHandler handler = this;

               saxParser.parse(in, handler);
          } catch (Throwable t) {
               t.printStackTrace();
As seen above execute() method has two parameters "in" of type
InputStream and "out" of type OutputStream. First we get a new instance
of SAXParserFactory and from this one we create a new Instance of
SAXParser. To the Parse Method of SaxParser, we pass two parameters,
inputstream "in" and the class variable "handler".
Method "write" is a user defined method, which is used to write the
string "s" to the outpurstream "out".
     private void write(String s) throws SAXException {
          try {
               out.write(s.getBytes());
               out.flush();
          } catch (IOException e) {
               throw new SAXException("I/O error", e);

               out.flush();
          } catch (IOException e) {

in developer studio 7.1 i dont get error.
this happens by testing the mapping-programm in ESR.
can somebody help me please?

Make sure that the xml created out after the java mapping is a valid xml with only one root node.

IMac (Oct 2009) keeps shutting down and restarting when not being used.

At least once a day, usually when not being used, I will see a dialog box that say computer had to restart due to a problem. data in problem report does not clearly state problem - many multi-page entries
Have reinstalled OS 10.8.2 once
this morning tried to restart with safe boot and had spinning beach ball for more than 15 minutes. shut down and restarted nin recovery mode. verified and repaired permissions (all seem to be related to Canon Pronter plug-ins- had an error message yesteday asking if I wanted to repair printer software and I said yes). Printer seems to be working. Had one statement that indicated a screensaver issue-see below
a while back, iTunes album art screensaver hung up with just two album covers flipping in all rows and columns.
after a few restarts, it started working correctly again..- yesterday I set screen saver to never, but still had a crash this morning

Here's the latest panic report. BTW, I ran for a while from an external system boot - very sloww (thumbdrive), but nothing happened. However, when I retarted I tried to restart in Safe Mode and the launch never completed (30 minutes without start)

Getting Date error when I process

Hi All,
I have DEV & QA Analysis services on 2 different server. This is 2005 SSAS
I am using same solution so DEV process OK but QA gives me date error
when I check with SSMS , date fields look fine .
But I am getting this error in QA
Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The attribute key cannot be found: Table: dbo_view_ftblCharge, Column: SrvDateKey, Value: 12/13/2005. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The record
was skipped because the attribute key was not found. Attribute: Date of Dimension: Service Date from Database: Charges, Cube: Charges, Measure Group: Charges, Partition: Charges, Record: 1. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: The process operation ended because
the number of errors encountered during processing reached the defined limit of allowable errors for the operation. Errors in the OLAP storage engine: An error occurred while processing the 'Charges' partition of the 'Charges' measure group for the 'Charges'
cube from the Charges database
Thanks,
Gok

12/13/2005 is an American date format (mm/dd/yyyy) whereas you need a british date format 13/12/2005 (dd/mm/yyyy).
Have a look at this topic on how you can force the correct collation (date format)

Missing authorization check to display master data error..

Hi,
We are in SRM7.0.
After adding content in my shopping cart, I am trying to change the Account Assignment in the Item Details from Network to Cost Center or GL Account.
Under Item Overview, after changing the Account Assignment to Cost Center, I go to "Assign Number" to add a Cost center..On clicking the matchcode search box, I get selection entries like Cost Center, Controlling area etc..If I click on the Search box without keying anything, I get a "Missing authorization check to display master data error".
I get the same error, when I try to select Assets under Account Assignment area and use search under Assign number. I dont get any errors on searching networks.
Am we missing any authorization check in the backend ?
Regards,
Rajan.K

Hello Rajan,
You could use transaction ST01 in SRM to perform some 'authorisation' trace.
It might give you some pointers to the issue.

Franz

Should I turn off my Mac Pro when not in use or leave it running?

I have been told I should never turn off my computer by some people, and others say that I should always turn it off when not in use! I use my Mac Pro primarily for music recording/editing in my home studio or word processing. Now that I have an iPad I use that for web browsing, email, FBing, etc. and I find myself on my Mac Pro a lot less. I get the basis behind both trains of thought; those who leave it on feel always stopping and starting up puts unnecessary wear on the moving disks, and those who shut down think if the parts are always moving they are bound to wear out faster. I am not as concerned with conserving power as I am with keeping my machine safe! If you have any information on this topic I would love to hear it. Thanks!

Providing you have a robust firewal and are not worried as a result about being hacked then leave it turned on and allow it to sleep. Make sure you allow the screen to sleep as well a that is the item that is more prone to damage by being left on all the time.
I never turn my machine off, never have with any of my Macs ever since my first one back in 1979-ish and have never suffered any adverse affects. Today, the power drain is so small when allowed to sleep that I doubt they would offend even the ardent 'turn off everything and pull out the plug to save the planet' person.
If you have an iPad or iPod synced with the Mac for email and iCal and address Book etc. then if you leave it on it should be up to date as soon as you return home, mine is anyway. With iCloud coming out very soon that may come into play even more so with all its advance pushing etc. Just a thought.
One advantage in leaving the machine on (sleep) is that you can access it from anywhere in the world should the need arise with the appropriate settings, which you can't if you turn it off.
Leave it on.

Hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk

hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk
The destination drive is not connected

Hello Mohammadshamlou. I understand that you're having some issues using your Recovery Disc. It is giving you the error that the drive is not connected. Is this correct? How long have you had the notebook?
What issue originally led you to want to try a recovery?
The error seems to imply that it is not detecting the hard drive as this would be the most logical destination drive. So, I feel the best thing to try first is verify that the hard drive is in proper working order. Follow these steps and please post the result.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Display the date witch is not exist in my table

Dear Sir
I want to get the date which is not exist in this field C_DATE, when I compare between tow date, that is I let user enter from_date and to_date ,to get the date which is not exist in the CHEMICAL_CONSUMPTION table ,
And my table structure as the flowing:
SQL> DESC CHEMICAL_CONSUMPTION
Name Null? Type
C_DATE DATE
C_JOB_NO NUMBER(8)
C_BLOCK_TYPE VARCHAR2(10)
C_COLOR_TYPE VARCHAR2(10)
C_RUN_TIME NUMBER(6,2)
C_OPER_CODE VARCHAR2(10)
REMARKS VARCHAR2(450)
C_YEAR NUMBER(4)
C_DAY_REMARKS VARCHAR2(2000)
ORDER_CODE NUMBER(12)
RRQ_DOC_CODE NUMBER(12)
Can I compare this table with the dual table to display the date witch is not in CHEMICAL_CONSUMPTION .
Waiting for your valuable answer with example
Best regards
Jamil Alshaibani

something like
SELECT *
FROM CHEMICAL_CONSUMPTION
WHERE C_DATE BETWEEN (:BLOCK.FROMDATE AND :BLOCK.TODATE)
OR C_DATE IS NULL;Just a guess.

I have a MAC OSX 10.6.8 Is it better to keep it in sleep mode when not in use or shutting down?

Mac OSX 10.6.8 Should I keep it in sleep mode when not in use to shut down?

My experience with electronic tends to revolve around thermo stress, and removing all power vs going to sleep tends to be more or less the same. Many components have power totally taken away, and others use so little power they cool off.
However, I found thermo stress occurs a lot more with discrete electronic components (like back in the '80s and our VAX-11/780's which had lot more discrete components) and less with integrated circuits. NOTE: I'm not talking about overheating components, just normal heating/cooling cycles.
All in all I would not worry about it. The OP (Grace 1) should use whatever method is most convent for her. And I would say if she is using a Macbook Air or the new Macbook Pro Retna display (or any other Mac with a solid state drive (SSD)), then booting from shutdown may not take all that long anyway.
