DO NOT BUY A LICENCE WITH MAPS 2.0 - NOKIA ARE USE...

Hello,
just thought I would share a story.
My girlfriend purchased a 1 year maps licence after upgrading to Maps beta 2.0. After using it and finding it does nothing but lead us via the longest possible route, constantly loses the car position and continually directs us down dead end roads we downgraded back to the original version of maps as per the instructions on the beta labs website.
We then went to enter the licence code to activate the navigation feature in the original version. It didn't work.
I called support and they told me to use the update feature to update the licence. Done, to no avail.
They promised to call us back within 5 working days. 8 days passed and I called them again. They said they needed to know the firmware version. At this point I asked to be called back within 2 working days and was told that would happen. 3 days later we receive a call saying they'll email us some troubleshooting tips.
We don't want troubleshooting tips. We want them to fix the problem. It's obviously a problem with their database, and they refuse to fix it.
In short, Nokia are absolutely useless and cannot provide the most basic of support. It's bad enough they sucker us into this blind profiteering scheme by making us pay a subscription for a service that all other navigation software provides at no cost once the software has been purchased.
There is obviously a problem on their end and they are unable to fix it. I will now be in contact with the TIO/ACCC who hopefully can help.
Just a warning to others: do not give your money to them. Go buy one of the plethora of other brilliant navigation suites available. Maps navigation doesn't even work very well, anyway.

Nokia Maps 2.0 is still in beta. That means it's still in the testing stages. Nokia released it publically as a courtesey, sort of a "Here's what we have so far. Please try it out and see what you think" kind of thing. Beta software is rarely, if ever, supported by the developer beyond the "please report any bugs that you find" level. Because it's a test release version, and therefore incomplete, you basically use it at your own risk if you download it and install it.
If you download and install the release version of the program when Nokia releases it, and try upgrading to the navigation package at that point, Nokia will provide full support for the product.
As a counterpoint to your problems... I'd had a navigation liscence (North America) for Maps 1.2 for about 3 months before version 2 beta came out. When I installed the new version, my navigation liscence transfered flawlessly, and worked almost as well as with the older version. Almost. It sometimes didn't work at all. Plus... The interface had issues, some of the menus were messed up, some features didn't work as expected. I went back to 1.2.

    Dear Sir/Madam Since  the wifi is not coming ON how can I open this diagnostic on the iphone  4S am using and having problem with wifi behaving in erratic manner. 
    Am  a professional engineer for projects and am 68 yrs old. At one time was  looking after a production line manufacturing I C's in semiconductors  manufacturing company of the US.
    Have four apple products, one hp laptop and one DELL professional computer at home is used by only two members me and my wife.
    Wife  prefers working on ipad2 or ipad mini while traveling and has iphone 4.  Am using iphone4S with laptop and Dell computer, No apple product is  more than two years old.
    Am having the problem in using wifi on the 4S after it  was upgraded to the latest ios as per the recommendation by your  software of my iphone 4S 
    The wifi card hangs up at  it's own will and even a visit to your authorized service center in  Delhi has not able to help me although they have reverted the ios back  to the
    one supplied with the set. Am a user and not a computer expert but it looks like the wifi card is  not able to some times take the load while working which could indicate  the wifi card is getting heated up.   
    My daughter  who is Masters in 3D Animation is an ardent fan of apple products  working at present in Canada was also gifted by me a 4S about 4 months  back. My daughter-in-law is using iphone4 and an ipad for her professional  works along with a Dell PC in the US. While my son is a fan of samsung  products and does not like an apple product. 
    So in a family we have 7 apple products except MAC laptop/PC. 
    But the fact is, this problem with 4S has  really shaken me up and now it seems your products are deteriorating in  quality while demanding the best pricing structures. 
    Since  this is purely the device and the software of apple problem you may  please replace this set with new one as neither have any time to push  you/ request you after your service centre
    in Delhi told me yesterday this cannot be repaired.   
    The  serial No of my set is DN*****TC0 and was bought from an authorized  dealer and so were the other products from the same dealer in Delhi.  This set is still in showroom condition and
    was never used without a protective cover.

  • HT1386 Iphone 5S will not synch with Itunes, even thoug both are using most current updates

    I cannot get Itunes to recognize ( synch) with my new iphone 5s.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, rebooting both the computer and the phone and even wiping and restoring the phone.  I've checked the bonjour program is running, Itunes is allowed through my firewall and run the Itunes diagnostics.  Could it be because my Ipad has the same apple id?  It seems to keep wanting to look for the ipad.

  • Looking up values from Map/HashMap  when Objects are used as keys

    I'm trying to understand why Map/HashMap don't test for equals() when looking up a key ( which is an Object that overrides equals() and hashCode()) in the Map.
    I've written this code, based on some code from the SCJP book, but it is not exactly the same, this code talks about a different issue not addressed in the book.
    I've added my questions inside the comments below, I think that is the best way I can ask it.
    import java.util.*;
    class Bird{
         public String name;
         public Bird(String name){
              this.name = name;
         //Override equals()
         public boolean equals(Object o){
              if(((Bird)o).name.equals(this.name)){
                   return true;
              }else{
                   return false;
            //Override hashCode
         public int hashCode(){
              return name.length();
    class TestMapLookup{
         static public void main(String[] args){
              Map<Object, Object> hashMap = new HashMap<Object, Object>();
              Bird b = new Bird("crow");
              hashMap.put(b, "somevalue");
              //according to the book, the map object calls the key's (Bird object's)
              //hashCode() first and then equals()
              //to find this key in the map
              System.out.println(hashMap.get(b));
              //Using the b reference to lookup value
              //ouputs - somevalue
              System.out.println(hashMap.get(new Bird("crow")));
              //Using a new Bird object to lookup value
              //outputs - somevalue
              //because Bird overrides equals and hashCode
              //otherwise we'd get null
              //Now change the name of the bird in the b reference
              b.name = "sparrow";
              //Notice that the crow's hashCode is 4
              //sparrow's hashCode is 7 , in the above implementation of hashCode
              System.out.println(hashMap.get(b));
              //Again using b reference to lookup value
              //ouputs - null
              //because the hashCode of b.name does not match
              //the hashCode of any of the keys stored in the map
              System.out.println(hashMap.get(new Bird("crow")));
              //This also outputs null
              //for the same reason that there's no key in the map
              //with a hashcode of 7
              //This is where it becomes strange......................
              //Change the name of the bird in the b reference
              //so that the new name has the same hashCode, as the key in the map
              b.name = "dove";
              System.out.println(hashMap.get(b));
              //In the above - the hashCode matches
              //but equals() fails
              //even though equals() fails, the key is still located and the value is output
              //output is "somevalue"
              //same here:
              b.name = "1234";
              System.out.println(hashMap.get(b));
              //output is "somevalue" instead of null
              b.name = "abcd";
              System.out.println(hashMap.get(b));
              //output is "somevalue" instead of null
              //why does it output "somevalue" instead of null , even though when the map
              //looks up the key , equals() returns false?     
              System.out.println(hashMap.get(new Bird("crow")));
              //In this case ( new Bird reference ) it prints null
    }I'm aware of best practices in coding and coding conventions but haven't used them here, because this is in preparation for SCJP - which tests on a lot of different things.
    I appreciate any info.

    It is correct that b is referring to the same object that the map's key is pointing to, but why does the following
    print null , instead of "somevalue"?
    at these lines in the code above.
    b.name = "sparrow";
    System.out.println(hashMap.get(b));Because the hashCode used when you stored b was 4, and now it's 7. You should read the Wikipedia article on Hashtable, but a simplistic explanation is that a HashMap has a bunch of "buckets," say 10, each indexed with a number 0-9. To decide which bucket to put a new key-value pair in, you take the hashcode (say 2112) and take the remainder of hashcode/number of buckets (in this case, 2112%10=2). So when you store the key-value, it gets "put" in this bucket.
    When you change the hashcode of b by changing its name attribute, it doesn't change the fact that the pair is in that bucket. But, it now looks in the wrong bucket and so can't find the pair.
    A hashtable gets its good efficiency by not having to look through all values to find the pair. It can jump directly to the correct bucket, which takes constant time instead of being dependent on the number of items in the collection.

    You should never, ever change an object being used as a key in a map.I guess this is a best practice, I just wanted to try changing the key object to test a few things for SCJP, which does not test on coding best practices but tests on how the code behaves.Yep, and what you should take away is that this is WHY it's bad to change the key :).

  • Some Info about indirect LIcence With B1 Forms..

    hi.
    I have small doubt..
    One of my customer want to  need  20  user licences..
    in that out of 20   , 15 users only posting  sales order forms they dont touch other  forms..
    so, can i buy 20 professional licences..
    how can i save the money...
    i have done some R& D ...
    i took one indirect licence...
    in it i have developed  one small from like sales order screen..
    so, i make  an ard and  put in b1  once login  indirect licence user(he is not able to open b1 forms ..but customization froms he can able to open
    i checked  this is own behaviour)
    they can post the sale sorder by using my form..
    i am able to add sales order by using coding not sql queries  using sapbobs objects recommended by sap b1
    i read some where that indirect licence can not post the b1 forms data(like sales ,purchase,masters)  with customization forms
    but in my scenario i am able to post the data..
    what's wrong...
    is it currect.
    why should i take professional users every time
    one is enough... i can buy indirect licences...
    is any body are using indirect licence plz updateme...

    Hi,
    Yes you are right. We are using the Indirect License for Third party add-on's usage. Through Indirect license you can post entry in back end (can not access from front end) on SAP B1. We have not tested for In-house developments, I hope it will work as same

    Media cache files are not involved in the removal of the Adobe watermark from the project.prel file from a tryout.
    Just a re-enforcement mention...you cannot remove the Adobe watermark from a tryout "saved" exported product; whereas, you can from a saved/closed project file (project.prel).
    By exported product, I mean a burn to disc in the tryout or the Timeline of the tryout exported to a file saved to the computer hard drive.
    In the case of removing the Adobe watermark from the tryout project.prel, classically you delete the rendered files (Timeline Menu/Delete Rendered Files) in the purchased program. In no way is media cache involved in this. Some of us have found that there was an automatic removal of the Adobe watermark resulting from just opening the tryout project.prel file in the purchased program.
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • HTML tags displayed with the text in "Notification" area

    We want to display an HTML formatted message in the "notification" area, but the HTML tags are being escaped and thus are displayed along with the text. We are using Application Express 2.2.1.00.04. The application has been handed off to us to support and we have no experience with APEX. So I hope I am explaining this correctly.
    The process to display the message is as follows:
    After submission, a page validation fires, which is of type "function returns boolean": "return some_function('P100_MESSAGE',2nd_arg);".
    In "Error Message" is "&P100_MESSAGE."
    The function returns true when the validation is successful. When validation fails, it returns false, setting 'P100_MESSAGE' to some error message - for example: "&lt;li&gt;Phone number is not numeric&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Email address is not valid&lt;/li&gt;".
    Our template has this in the body definition:
    #NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE##SUCCESS_MESSAGE##BOX_BODY#
    As I understand it, #NOTIFICATION_MESSAGE# will be replaced with the value of 'P100_MESSAGE'.
    I've displayed 'P100_MESSAGE' on my page to confirm its contents and it is rendered correctly with bullets. But the notification area does not show bullets. It displays the text and the HTML tags.
    Is there anything obvious we can do to fix this problem? Thanks

    I 've changed P100_MESSAGE to text field, text field (disabled, saves state), text field (disabled, does not save state), and textarea, display as text, etc. It is originally set to Hidden type (because it is only to be displayed in the notification area). But changing it to various types makes no difference as to how it is displayed in the notification area. Of course, when it's not hidden, then it's also displayed on the page, among to other page elements,which is not acceptable.
    Thanks-

  • What is best way to set up Ipods for my children?  One lives with ex and I plan to use facetime and texting to communicate.  Should he have his own itunes account?

    I started out by setting up under my itunes account.  When I tried the facetiming my iphone with my sons new ipod it said that I was calling even though I set it up in his name.  Also, I don't know how to try to face time him.  How do I add him as a contact to facetime him.  Also, his step sister will be setting hers up also and she will want to be able to text and face time him.  How should we go about setting all this up?  Thanks for any help and I hope I explained this well enough.

    First, you should have to Apple IDs
    Second, you must have a Wi-Fi connection.
    Facetime Calls
    To add them go to address book and put in the Apple ID username under email.
    Go to facetime, click the contacts button on the bottom. Click the name they gave them. Click the email you used for their Apple ID. It should start a call with the device hooked up with that Apple ID.
    Set-Up Facetime
    Go to settings. Click facetime. Sign-in with the Apple ID you are using. When someone calls that address it should give you a notification.
    Texting
    If you are getting a new iPod you will be getting with iOS 5 wich includes iMessage to other iOS 5 devices. Just click iMessage at the home screen and type in the name of the person with the Apple ID you want to text OR type in the Apple ID you want to text. You should start a convorsation with the iDevice hooked up to that Apple ID.
    Set-Up iMessage (a.k.a. Texting)
    Go to settings. Click iMessage. Sign-in with the Apple ID you are using. When someone texts that address it will notify you.
    Hope I helped!

  • I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom

    I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????

    If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5.  If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version.  Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.
    Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html ( http://adobe.ly/1aYjbSC )
    If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
    I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say.
